Flies are common ectoparasites to livestock. Some species of flies are important to small ruminants because they can spread disease and cause disturbance to animals, thus lowering their productivity. Considering the impact of flies to the productivity of small ruminants, it is important to identify the species of flies that occur in an area for early control actions. The study was aimed to determine the species of flies in Diptera family that occur in Ladang UniSZA Pasir Akar and their population abundance. The flies were collected using three types of traps: Malaise trap, yellow pan trap and yellow sticky trap for three consecutive weeks. The traps were set up in three different locations in small ruminants rearing area in the farm. Nine Diptera families significant to livestock were identified: Calliphoridae, Ceratopogonidae, Culicidae, Muscidae, Psychodidae, Rhiniidae, Sarcophagidae, Simuliidae and Tabanidae. The family Sarcophagidae recorded the highest abundance in the farm (26.57%), while the lowest of flies count was from the family Tabanidae (0.82%). The most diverse family of Diptera was collected by Malaise trap and the lowest diversity was recorded from yellow pan trap. The results from this study had provided the first insight of the flies important to small ruminants occurred in this farm.
[RASM UTHMANI: COMPARISON OF AL-HAZF IN AL-QURAN AL-KARIM AND QURAN MAJID] RASM UTHMANI: PERBANDINGAN PRINSIP AL-HAZF DALAM AL-QURAN AL-KARIM DAN QURAN MAJID
Authors: Rajab Zamri , Ismail Mohd Rusli , Ahmad @ Mohammed Ahmad Amir Khan Shah
Published: November 2021

This paper aims to dispel the confusion of students related to the knowledge of Rasm and Dhabt al-Quran among students of the Institute of Teacher Education, Sultan Mizan Campus.The confusion arises when they are unable to distinguish between the two disciplines of the Qur'an, namely, writing (rasm) and punctuation (dhabt). This paper solely focuses on the principle of al-hazf, which is one of the five principles in the method of Rasm Uthmani as agreed upon by scholars today. The sample of this study was selected based on the principle of purposive sampling, that is, a sample that is believed to be able to answer the research questions well. The results show that there is no difference in terms of writing in the two mashafs because each was written in accordance with the principles and methods of Rasm Uthmani. However, it is noted that there are differences in terms of punctuation in the two mashafs. The punctuation differences were employed to meet the needs of the readership where the Quran was printed and according to current development then.

Tulisan ini bermatlamat merungkai kekeliruan para pelajar berkaitan ilmu Rasm dan Dhabt al-Quran dalam kalangan pelajar Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Sultan Mizan. Kekeliruan tersebut timbul apabila mereka tidak dapat membezakan di antara dua disiplin ilmu al-Quran iaitu, tulisan (rasm) dan tanda bacaan (dhabt). Tulisan ini hanya memfokuskan kepada prinsip al-hazf, iaitu salah satu daripada lima prinsip dalam kaedah Rasm Uthmani sebagaimana yang disepakati oleh ulama pada masa kini. Sampel kajian ini dipilih berdasarkan prinsip pensampelan bertujuan, iaitu sampel yang diyakini boleh menjawab persoalan kajian ini dengan baik. Hasil kajian menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbezaan dari segi tulisan dalam kedua-dua mashaf kerana masing-masing ditulis menepati prinsip dan kaedah Rasm Uthmani. Manakala terdapat perbezaan dari segi tanda baca di dalam kedua-dua mashaf. Perbezaan tanda baca berkenaan dilakukan bagi memenuhi keperluan masyarakat pembaca di tempat al-Quran itu dicetak dan mengikut perkembangan semasa.
Book Review: Where’s the Wisdom in Service-Learning?
Authors: Ray Christopher Adam
Published: November 2021

Edited by Robert Shumer from the University of Minnesota, Where’s the Wisdom in Service-Learning? highlights the experiences, insights, and opinions of a diverse group of authors and practitioner-scholars linked historically by service-learning. Rather than focusing solely on the beginnings or roots of service-learning—defined as “the accomplishment of tasks that meet genuine human needs in combination with conscious educational growth” (Stanton, Giles, & Cruz, 1999, p. 2)—this volume expounds upon the concept by including not only the unique wisdom of its authors, but also their equally important recommendations for future efforts aligned with service-learning. Comprising 12 chapters, the work intricately and effectively weaves diverse personal stories and experiences with foundational knowledge related to service-learning.

Emission-line Wings Driven by Lyman Continuum in the Green Pea Analog Mrk 71
Authors: Komarova Lena , Oey M. S. , Krumholz Mark R. , Silich Sergiy , Kumari Nimisha , James Bethan L.
Published: November 2021

We propose that the origin of faint, broad emission-line wings in the Green Pea (GP) analog Mrk 71 is a clumpy, LyC, and/or Lyα-driven superwind. Our spatially resolved analysis of Gemini-N/GMOS-IFU observations shows that these line wings with terminal velocity >3000 km s−1 originate from the super star cluster Knot A, and propagate to large radii. The object’s observed ionization parameter and stellar surface density are close to their theoretical maxima, and radiation pressure dominates over gas pressure. Together with a lack of evidence for supernova feedback, these imply a radiation-dominated environment. We demonstrate that a clumpy, radiation-driven superwind from Knot A is a viable model for generating the extreme velocities, and in particular, that Lyman continuum and/or Lyα opacity must be responsible. We find that the Mrk 71 broad wings are best fitted with power laws, as are those of a representative extreme GP and a luminous blue variable star, albeit with different slopes. This suggests that they may share a common wind-acceleration mechanism. We propose that high-velocity, power-law wings may be a distinctive signature of radiation feedback, and of radiatively driven winds, in particular.
Novel Mucor species (Mucoromycetes, Mucoraceae) from northern Thailand
Authors: Hurdeal Vedprakash G. , Gentekaki Eleni , Hyde Kevin D. , Nguyen Thuong T. T. , Lee Hyang Burm
Published: November 2021

Mucor species are common fast-growing fungi found in soil. Two new species of Mucor and one new geographical record of M. nederlandicus were collected from northern Thailand and are described in this study. Evidence from morphophysiological data and phylogenetic analysis supports the introduction of the new taxa. Phylogenetic analysis based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal RNA (LSU) data showed that the new isolates cluster distinctly from other Mucor species with high or maximum bootstrap support. Mucor aseptatophorus is characterized by aseptate sporangiophores, globose columella, resistant and deliquescent sporangia, has sympodial, and monopodial branches and shows growth at 37 °C. It also differs from M. irregularis in having smaller sporangiospores, and larger sporangia. Mucor chiangraiensis has subglobose or slightly elongated globose columella, produces hyaline sporangiospores, and resistant and deliquescent sporangia. Furthermore, this species has wider sporangiophore, smaller sporangia and lower growth than M. nederlandicus. A detailed description of the species and illustrations are provided for the novel species.

Does the Length of Time to Complete an Online Program Matter?
Authors: Gonzalez Yovan , Hansen Bryan R. , Seale J. Paul , Finnell Deborah S.
Published: November 2021

Health care providers are challenged to meet the simultaneous demands of delivering clinical care and acquiring new information, especially in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the opioid epidemic, and concurrent escalation in alcohol and other drug use. To address the gap in knowledge related to substance use, screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT), a self-paced online educational program, was developed and delivered to 169 learners. Posttest knowledge scores increased for all learners and did not differ based on their pace of completion. Results indicated that this module provides a means for busy clinicians to increase their ability to manage substance use, even if their learning occurs in multiple sessions interrupted by other pressing demands. Future iterations of this course could further enhance clinical competency by addition of an online clinical simulation component.

Revisiting the Impact of Accreditation on Transition to Practice Programs: Findings From a Replication Analysis
Authors: White Meagan , Cosme Sheryl , Drown Stephanie
Published: November 2021

Background:

Accreditation of transition to practice (TTP) programs is on the rise across the United States; however, few studies have investigated the effect of program recognition on health care organizations. Even less is known about the organizational value of residency/fellowship program accreditation and which measures support the long-term sustainability of these programs. The goal of this retrospective content analysis is to revisit the effect of accreditation by replicating a previous analysis of TTP programs.

Method:

An administrative survey was distributed in 2019 to TTP programs recognized by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Practice Transition Accreditation Program
®
(PTAP). Directed content analysis methods were used to compare thematic results on the perceived effect of accreditation with those in the original analysis.

Results:

A coding matrix was used to categorize responses into broad concept categories with subthemes. All themes from the original publication were replicated in the current analysis; additionally, new categories and subthemes emerged.

Conclusion:

Implications from this analysis may be used by nursing leaders, educators, and policymakers to increase TTP funding and recognition, engage stakeholders in organizational improvement, and expand residency/fellowship science through professional dissemination.

A Phenomenological Study on Substance Use and Misuse Among Nursing Students
Authors: Rattner Ilene
Published: November 2021

Background:

There is a critical need to identify and understand the current trends in substance use as well as effective approaches to manage and deter nursing students from misusing drugs. This qualitative study explored the lived experiences, attitudes, and perceptions of prelicen-sure nursing students about substance use and misuse and the management of substance use disorders among nursing students during nursing school.

Method:

Using a phenomenological research design, 14 semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted.

Results:

Findings from the data analysis revealed the following six themes: mental health-related issues, stressors, fears and reservations, stigma, seeking help, and awareness.

Conclusion:

The findings from this study corroborate and build on prior research illustrating nursing students encounter complex challenges that can contribute to drug-seeking behaviors during their prelicensure nursing program. Nurse educators must address these factors and their students' potential decisions to misuse drugs.

Flipped Classroom Versus Classroom Lecture: A Content Mapping Study in Undergraduate Nursing
Authors: Marie Musni Sarah , Garrett Bernie
Published: November 2021

Background:

Educators face the ongoing difficulty of managing finite class time and limited instructor-student interactions to balance discourse and active learning. Complicating this is the growing expectation to incorporate technology into nursing curriculum. This study explored the differences of the traditional classroom lecture (TL) with the flipped classroom (FC) format and the effects on higher-order thinking.

Method:

A content analysis was performed on previous work. Concept maps were used to evaluate data from transcripts of undergraduate nursing students' case study discussions in either a TL or FC format.

Results:

FC groups had a more complex concept map morphology and identified more subcategories and links. They exhibited a greater number of higher-order thinking concepts compared with the TL groups. The emergence of discussion tangents across both the FC and the TL groups was unexpected.

Conclusion:

The FC approach enhances student learning and aids in the development of higher-order thinking.[J Nurs Educ. 2021;60(11):629–632.]
Unexpected COVID-19 Opportunity: Applied Experience for the Nurse Educator Student
Authors: Polancich Shea , Steadman Laura , Moneyham Linda , Poe Terri
Published: November 2021

Background:

Lack of experiential learning in nurse educator (NE) programs may result in students completing didactic coursework with limited or no opportunities to supervise nursing students in a clinical environment. During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, one organization transformed an educational challenge into an opportunity for NE students.

Method:

Programmatic evaluation, using a 10-item Likert scale evaluation tool, was used to obtain feedback from 15 NE students regarding their perceived value of an experiential learning activity.

Results:

Aggregate mean evaluation scores ranged from 2.7 to 4.3. An aggregate mean of 4.3 was attributed by the NE students to the possibility of spending additional clinical hours providing oversight to nursing students participating in this process.

Conclusion:

Applied experiential learning may enhance the quality of NE students' educational experience, provide needed opportunity for developing critical expertise as a NE, and create a window of opportunity for future application of NE students' experiential learning.

Purpose-Driven Marketing Wars
Authors: Gülmez Emrah
Published: November 2021

Purpose is a definitive statement about the difference that a brand is trying to make in the world. It is becoming more and more popular every day, especially because Gen Y and Gen Z are more interested in economic, political, environmental, and social problems in the world. The interest and sensitivity of these issues have also been reflected in marketing and brand communication. In this context, purpose-driven marketing is a marketing perspective and trend that aims to connect brands with their consumers through their brand purpose. The implications of all these in the field of marketing have begun to be seen in Turkey, too. In particular, brands in the dishwashing detergent market have entered a purpose-driven marketing war with each other, so to speak. Finish, Fairy, and Pril have made purpose-driven marketing campaigns in Turkey. So, in this chapter, Water of Tomorrow by Finish, Don't Waste by Fairy, and Together at the Table by Pril campaigns are examined within the scope of purpose-driven marketing as case studies.

Published: November 2021

The pandemic of 2020 put the whole world on a technology-driven online stage like never before. The new stage called for innovation and new forms of creativity. The Theatre-in-Education team at ATA was also caught unprepared, especially the all-pervasive nature of the consequences. The team was confronted by questions of relevance and the role of educators at a time like this. This chapter describes the processes involved in crafting and successfully conducting two types of online workshops using theatre methods as the principal platform. Theatre is a group activity which involves touching, feeling, comprehending, and connecting through close contact with other participants. One must recognize that this essential component of theatre cannot be accomplished through online sessions. Despite this, the workshops had an immense impact on the children's personal development and added the element of fun to their online experience which might otherwise have remained dry and boring.
Elementary Education and Perspective-Taking
Authors: Crowe Taylor , Hodges Tracey S.
Published: November 2021

Empathy is an emotion that can be cultivated in childhood; as society moves more and more to the online word, however, empathy is needed as people are entering a global economy with people from various backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs. The researchers in this study provided a writing intervention to third grade students in order to promote perspective-taking skills that are displayed through their writing. The researchers developed a rubric to accurately determine the effects of the intervention on student writing and whether or not the students developed empathy for the characters studied. This study informed researchers that above all children make connections with all types of people, despite their differences. In addition to learning about the students, the researchers found that educators would benefit from professional development in order to help them teach students about different cultures and further promote perspective-taking.

The study relied on qualitative methodology while data was gathered through key informant interviews and documentary search. The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the humanitarian situation in the DRC. This has seen rising unemployment, political instability, and domestic violence being witnessed. The pandemic has fuelled geopolitical friction. Peacekeeping missions are necessitated by the need to facilitate and monitor the political process, protect civilians, assist in the disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of former combatants and support the organization of elections, protect, and promote human security. If peacekeeping operations are disrupted, there will be chaos, abuse, and forced displacement of people among the region and internationally. It can be concluded that the pandemic has negatively affected peacekeeping operations in the DRC.

Authors: Törenli Kaya Zulal
Published: November 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic and the life after the outbreak introduced numerous changes and uncertainties that led to elevated stress levels in the societies and caused the emergence of various psychological responses for people of all ages to deal with this unprecedented transformation. Throughout this period, the children and adolescents were mostly influenced by being away from school and their peers while the adults had to struggle with the economic crisis and the increased workload both at home and at work. The older adults, on the other hand, had to contend with loneliness, feeling useless, and ageism. In this chapter, considering different age groups, how people are affected by the pandemic-related changes and their common psychological and behavioral responses and coping strategies will be presented. Some recommendations and common solutions to adapt to the “new normal” brought by the pandemic will be also emphasized separately for each age group.

Published: November 2021

Fifth generation mobile technology (5G) targets to meet user demands in terms of improved capability, increased data rate, and best value of service. In order to meet these demands, the 5G technology applies massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and device-to-device communication (D2D). Also, by making use of location-based services (LBS), it provides value-added services to the users including methods to overcome the energy depletion in the network. The authors discuss the internet of things and its potential to offer novel solutions. Media access control (MAC) sub-layer offers and channel access control mechanisms will enable various terminals or network nodes to interact in a network and prevent collisions. Here, the authors present a complete review related to developing and enabling technologies with the key focus on 5G mobile networks and supporting the growth in traffic for enabling IoT.
Factors influencing positive subjective health awareness in multicultural adolescents in South Korea: Data from the multicultural adolescents panel study
Authors: Choi Sun Yeob
Published: November 2021

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing positive subjective health awareness of middle school-age multicultural adolescents in Korea.Methods: This study used data from the fourth to sixth waves of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute. In this study, a panel logit model analysis was performed using the Eviews 8.0 program (p<.050).Results: Socioeconomic status (r=.02, t=2.13, p=.033), body satisfaction (r=.71, t=1.97, p=.048), and depression (r=-.74, t=2.35, p=.018) influenced positive subjective health awareness in multicultural adolescents. When multicultural characteristics were entered into a statistical model with environmental and personal characteristics, multicultural characteristics did not have a significant influence on positive subjective health awareness.Conclusion: Environmental, personal, and multicultural characteristics were related to positive subjective health awareness in multicultural adolescents; thus, an integrated approach considering those variables is recommended. Nursing interventions and educational programs are needed to improve the psychological status of multicultural adolescents and reduce prejudice about them. In addition, nurses need to be sensitive to multicultural characteristics and the developmental characteristics of multicultural adolescents.
The relationship between mothers' knowledge and practice level of cough etiquette and their children's practice level in South Korea
Authors: Kim Jungsun , Oh Sangeun
Published: November 2021

Purpose: This study investigated the relationships between mothers' knowledge and practice level of cough etiquette and their children's practice level of cough etiquette as perceived by their mothers.Methods: This study was a descriptive correlational study. The data were collected from 160 mothers with preschoolers attending daycare centers and kindergartens in Gwangju, South Korea using self-reported questionnaires.Results: The correct answer rate for cough etiquette knowledge in mothers was 86.0%, mothers' average practice score was 33.65±4.14, and their children's average practice score was 28.39±4.85 out of 48. The correlation between mothers' cough etiquette knowledge and practice level was not statistically significant. However, mothers' cough etiquette practice was positively correlated with children's cough etiquette level as perceived by mothers (r=.35, p<.001).Conclusion: The development of a systematic cough etiquette education program and measurements for both mothers and children according to their developmental stages is important to effectively prevent respiratory infections.

We evaluated the detectability of Plasmodium falciparum clones when assessed on 3 consecutive days in incident and chronic infections in naturally exposed children living in an area of intense malaria transmission in Burkina Faso. The median number of clones by merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2) genotyping was 3 (interquartile range [IQR] 2–5) in incident infections compared with 6 (IQR 4–8) in chronic infections (P < 0.0001). When all clones detected on days 1-3 were considered as true complexity of infection, sampling on day 1 detected only 69.4% (109/157) or 68.3% (228/334) of all clones in incident and chronic infections, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that a large proportion of clones are missed by single time-point sampling. In addition, because of the high complexity of infection early in incident infections, our data suggest many infections may be caused by genetically complex inocula.
Non-competitive Elections at the Local Level and the Incumbency Advantage of Mayors – Research Experiences from Poland
Authors: Mazurkiewicz Marek
Published: November 2021

The objective of this paper is an attempt to answer if non-competitive elections to commune councils in Poland may be the result of incumbency advantage of mayors. The author assumes, that the effects of incumbency advantage of mayors in influence not only the competition for the office of mayor, but also the entire local political scene. These effects may weaken the competitiveness of elections and lead to the cartelisation of local political scenes. In extreme cases, it may even cause the degeneration of political pluralism and lead to non-competitive elections at both the executive and legislative levels. The paper analyses relationships between the competitiveness of elections at the local level and the incumbency advantage effect as exemplified by a group of small communes with up to 20,000 inhabitants and presents the findings of the conducted research in the form of case studies of 18 localities representing six regions of Poland.
The Legal Aspects of Activities Taken by Local Authorities to Promote Sustainable Development Goals: Between Global and Regional Regulations in Poland
Authors: Orzeszyna Krzysztof , Tabaszewski Robert
Published: November 2021

This article examines the role of local authorities in promoting the sustainable development goals set out in the United Nations 2030 Agenda. The main aim was to analyse the legal aspects of activities taken by local authorities obliged to promote SDGs with the use of global and regional regulations, using the example of Poland. The adoption of the 2030 Agenda has damaged the current, ineffective model of Implementation of Sustainable Development. The present study discusses the Polish approach to sustainable development, including the experience and tasks of Polish municipalities, poviats, and voivodships in the field of sustainable development strategies as well as the prospects of implementing the goals of the new 2030 Agenda. The critical analysis of the legal aspects of activities taken by local authorities confirmed the thesis that the global solutions proposed in the 2030 Agenda are at least partially compatible with local legal regulations.
Effects of Sales Tax Competition on Local Revenue Capacity: Empirical Analysis of California County Governments
Authors: Shon Jongmin
Published: November 2021

This study empirically examines the effects of tax competition in both horizontal and vertical ways on the revenue capacity of counties in California from 2003 to 2015. Spatial Durbin model (SDM) identifies the effects of two-way tax competition on a county’s revenue capacity. The findings provide evidence that local sales tax helps a county expand its total revenue, but the two-way tax competition brings about a decrease in local revenue capacity as a result of spillovers. Furthermore, a lower-taxing area can have more benefits because the expansions in the neighbors are much greater than the higher-taxing one. In spite of the extant research of tax competition, this study adds another contribution to this research arena that the empirical approach of the SDM rules out the geospatial effects of the other explanatory variables that might have some unobserved effects in the extant literature.
