Nature of Carbohydrates in Agro-industrial By-products (AIBP) Scarcely Support Rumen Microbial Protein Production but Sustain Milk Composition
Authors: Rathod Akash J. , Srinivas Bandla
Published: April 2022

Background: The microbial protein (MBP) production in rumen has quantitative influence on protein availability to host animal and also influence milk composition, particularly milk protein. Few native breeds produce low levels of milk that should sustain economically on agro-industrial by-products (AIBP). However, the nature of carbohydrates in AIBP how far support the MBP in rumen is seldom quantified. The objective of the study was to evaluate the cell wall carbohydrates of AIBP as a source of energy for rumen MBP production and milk composition in Bos indicus cows. Methods: Twenty Deoni breed cows in mid-lactation were divided in complete randomized block design into 5 groups of 4 each based on milk yield, body weight, parity and days in lactation. Basal roughage was finger millet straw ad-lib. The cows in treatment groups were supplemented with wheat bran (T1), or hyacinth bean grit (T2), or soy husk (T3), or 50% green gram grit plus 50% pigeon pea husk (T4) and compared with a control group (CG) supplemented with sorghum grain. All the supplements were made 18% isonitrogenous with commercial urea and fortified with 2% common salt and 3% minerals and vitamins mix. The diets were fed for 7 weeks including a digestibility trial of 5 days duration. Result: Total diet intake was comparable between CG and TGs. CP, hemicelluloses, celluloses (P≤0.01) and, EE (P≤0.05) digestibility were higher in TGs than CG. Energy efficiency was comparable between grain and AIBPs. Rumen MBP was lesser in TGs than CG. Higher rumen MBP among TGs was observed in T4 (180 g d-1) but it was 45 g d-1 lesser than CG. Milk total solids (TS), fat and solids-non-fat (SNF) were comparable between CG and TGs. The coefficient of variation in daily milk yield was reduced in TGs. The concentrate supplement with 50% grit and 50% husk combination was only suitable to moderately sustain rumen MBP production and also support milk production otherwise, AIBP as the sole concentrate supplement had limited benefit for rumen MBP production.

Published: April 2022

t-designs represent a generalized class of balanced incomplete block designs in which the number of blocks in which any t treatments (t ≥ 2) occur together is a constant. Like other families of incomplete block designs, t-designs find potential application in farming system research where the main concern would be to select the best combination out of a certain set of t-component farming systems for a specific agro-ecological zone. But in order to obtain t-balance we may require large number of blocks and replications. Partially balanced t-designs are introduced for experimental situations where it is not possible to get t-balanced designs. A series of partially balanced 3-designs are constructed using mutually orthogonal Latin Squares. These designs, though possess pair-wise balance, are not combinatorially balanced in terms of 3-tuples. They also satisfy the properties of 3-packing designs. The efficiency factor of these designs is quite high as v increases, the efficiency increases.

Published: April 2022

Background: Scatophagus argus is a euryhaline fish, but the molecular mechanism of salinity plunge response on liver antioxidant system of S. argus is currently poorly understood. Meanwhile, the transcriptome is a powerful tool for studying the effect of stress on physiological mechanisms. Transcriptome analysis of juvenile S. argus in salinity slump will provide a reference for future research on the stress resistance of S. argus. Methods: 5 ppt was selected as low salinity and 20 ppt was used as the control group. The experimental treatment time was 6 h. Liver samples were separately obtained for transcriptome sequencing. Transcriptomic data of the liver after salinity plunge for 6 h were analyzed. Result: 474 differentially expressed genes were generated by the sudden change of salinity. The pathways related to immune defense were enriched, such as ‘Antigen processing and presentation’ and ‘Phagosome’, implying that S. argus might enhance the immune defense system. Several antioxidant enzyme genes, such as HAO, Trx, PHGPx, were up-regulated to resist oxidative stress caused by low salinity. The down-regulation of Cul3 also might promote the activation of Nrf2 to activate the expression of antioxidant enzyme genes. These results indicated that S. argus initiated a molecular mechanism to resist low salt stress.

Published: April 2022

This study describes the impact of context on reading competence in elementary school students (normal and dyslexic). Through an Experiment consisting of three modes of context in which students are tested in reading competence, where the first experiment includes the absence of context, the second experiment concerns the predictive context. The third experiment Concerning the neutral context, a sample of 20 students was represented. We relied on evaluating reading competence on two indicators: reading speed, number, and types of errors. The results showed that context affects reading proficiency, and this effect was different between dyslexic students and good readers, where context (predictive and neutral) helped improve reading skills in dyslexic students through a decrease in the number of errors and the reaction time compared to the experience of the absent context. It was the opposite result for good readers. The errors appear to be different according to the three types of context. Letter or syllable withdrawal errors were the greatest in the experience of no context. Moreover, al harakat (vowels) errors were most common in the experience of context predictive and neutral context. Contextualization errors follow this—withdrawal of letters or syllables, then lexicalizations, and decoding errors.

Más que infodemia
Authors: Waisbord Silvio
Published: April 2022

La pandemia deja al descubierto la condición de posverdad y la crisis de confianza y los conflictos entre múltiples experticias, incluidas aquellas de las ciencias de la salud, que dificultan la solución de problemas planetarios. El análisis de la pandemia en la posverdad permite comprender aspectos esenciales de la comunicación pública contemporánea: el desorden (des)informativo, los cuestionamientos y los conflictos sobre la experticia, y las consecuencias mixtas que trae la abundancia comunicativa para enfrentar problemas comunes como la salud pública global. La pandemia demuestra los problemas para el uso colectivo de la razón pública. La razón pública demanda condiciones comunicativas, como información veraz, acuerdos epistemológicos sobre datos y hechos, y participación ciudadana. Sin embargo, la comunicación pública, fracturada y fragmentada, sin normas de participación o principios epistemológicos compartidos, dinamita las chances de lograr consensos significativos sobre una variedad de temas: la identificación de problemas, el diagnóstico de causas, el debate de soluciones. El empecinamiento propagandístico del poder sumado a corrientes irracionales que cuestionan aspectos esenciales de la pandemia, tales como su existencia, origen, métodos de atención y resolución, dejan al descubierto este problema. Estos conflictos están atravesados por el caos comunicacional contemporáneo que, así como potencia las oportunidadespara la expresión, también dificulta la búsqueda de consensos. El problema es que la resolución de bienes públicos presupone consensos básicos sobre mecanismos compartidos para el debate público y principios para determinar y resolver bienes comunes.

Este artículo estudia los contenidos de la información más consumida por parte de las/los usuarios/as de Facebook en Argentina, en el contexto de la pandemia por COVID-19. Se indagan: 1) los asuntos que mayor nivel de involucramiento generaron en esa red social; 2) la procedencia de las piezas informativas más relevantes; y 3) el tipo de encuadres que predominaron en el tratamiento de los diferentes problemas. Mostramos, primero, que el COVID-19 adquirió mayor relevancia que el resto de los asuntos en Facebook, aunque el nivel de involucramiento de las/ los usuarios/as sobre el tema se relacionó con la ocurrencia de diferentes eventos críticos asociados a la pandemia. Segundo, que las noticias más relevantes provinieron de medios de comunicación con marcas consolidadas, por lo que la lectura de información en la red social estuvo concentrada. Por último, que la proximidad geográfica, el conflicto, el interés humano y los rasgos afectivos explícitos en los posteos informativos constituyen rasgos de la información que explican su relevancia en la red social. El estudio consiste en un análisis de los contenidos informativos que mayor nivel de involucramiento alcanzaron (likes, comments y shares) en Facebook entre enero de 2020 y junio de 2021.
Las disputas de sentido sobre el aborto en Argentina durante 2020
Authors: Ingrassia Paola , Retegui Lorena
Published: April 2022

El objetivo del artículo es comprender y analizar los sentidos que dos fuerzas sociales o arenas competitivas –los medios de comunicación y el movimiento feminista identificado con el color verde– construyeron sobre un mismo tema, la Interrupción Voluntaria del Embarazo (IVE). Para realizar el estudio se combinaron técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas y se analizaron 323 noticias sobre el debate por el derecho al aborto que publicaron durante diciembre de 2020 los sitios informativos de mayor audiencia de Argentina (La Nación, Clarín e Infobae). El periodo de estudio comprende el mes en que el proyecto de la IVE se aprobó como norma legal. A su vez, el análisis se complementa con siete entrevistas en profundidad a integrantes de diferentes regionales de la Campaña Nacional por el Derecho al Aborto Legal, Seguro y Gratuito. Entre los resultados se observa que únicamente 25% de las noticias analizadas llevó firma de mujeres y que solo en 28,2% de los casos la ley de la IVE fue definida como “justa” o “necesaria”. Además, en el 63,8% de las notas se observó la trivialización de los objetivos o de la presentación del proyecto legal; en el 56,3% se destacó la polarización, en tanto se acentuaron las diferencias como equivalentes o el accionar del contramovimiento; y en el 83,3% se evidenció un menosprecio por la importancia o efectividad del movimiento feminista. A la vez, las voces de las militantes permitieron comprender tanto los desafíos como las acciones y las estrategias comunicacionales que implementaron para incidir a nivel político y mediático, al igual que sus percepciones sobre la manera en que los medios de comunicación representaron al tema del aborto, el lema y los objetivos de la Campaña y la imagen de las mujeres como parte del “movimiento verde”.
The Digital Environment How We Live, Learn, Work, and Play Now
Authors: Matassi Mora
Published: April 2022

El libro The Digital Environment: How We Live, Learn, Work, and Play Now, escrito por Pablo Boczkowski y Eugenia Mitchelstein (2021), ofrece un fascinante recorrido intelectual por dimensiones importantes del entorno digital –aquel donde, a la par de los entornos natural y urbano, se gestiona la vida diaria en la actualidad–. A través de un relato coral, que combina las voces de 60 autores del campo de la comunicación y los medios, el libro genera cuatro contribuciones destacadas para estudiosos de la mediatización y los medios digitales, también para lectores que usen –o rechacen el uso– de las tecnologías de comunicación e información contemporáneas y que deseen comprender teórica y empíricamente sus propias prácticas. Primero, el libro presenta y organiza los hallazgos más relevantes respecto de cómo se vive, aprende, trabaja, y juega digitalmente. Segundo, al visibilizar y tejer lazos entre voces expertas que trabajan con temáticas y perspectivas disímiles, el libro opera interdisciplinariamente: genera así diálogos y espacios de encuentro teóricos y metodológicos en un campo intelectual que se ha caracterizado por su hiperfragmentación. Tercero, corre a los medios digitales de la posición de objetos para reubicarlos como lugares donde se vive, sin quitarle centralidad a la agencia de los usuarios. Cuarto, propone una definición de entorno digital –caracterizado por su totalidad, dualidad, conflicto e indeterminación– que sortea a la tendencia contemporánea hacia la reificación de pánicos morales sobre los supuestos efectos negativos de las tecnologías de la comunicación e información.

Published: April 2022

Scientific and technological skills are needed for survival and economic prosperity in the 21st century. However, students persistently perform poorly in science subjects at the senior secondary school level. Thus, this study determined the mediating influence of cognitive style on the relationship between academic motivation and students’ academic achievement in senior School Biology in Remo North Local Government Area of Ogun State. The descriptive survey research design was adopted to conduct the research. The sample consisted of 180 students randomly selected from ten public senior secondary schools out of the 13 public schools present in the local government area. Data were collected using three instruments: Cognitive Style Questionnaire (r=0.71); Academic Motivation Scale (r=0.72); and Students’ Achievement Test in Biology (r=0.82). The data collected were analysed using regression and t-test statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that cognitive styles significantly mediated the relationship between academic motivation and students’ academic achievement in Biology. It was also found that there was no significant difference in the mean achievement scores of field-dependent and field-independent learners. The study concluded that cognitive style is a potent factor in the learning of Biology in senior secondary school. Although students can be motivated to learn, aligning instructional activities with their cognitive style by biology teachers is more important than motivation. Therefore, school counsellors should always help to classify students into their cognitive styles at the beginning of the session to enable teachers to tailor instructional activities to meet their learning needs.

English Speaking skill plays an important role in communication for EFL learners, including those in Indonesia. However, the problem of speaking English is a frequently encountered topic of discussion in the body of literature and in educational contexts. There are various problems that are listed as the possible causes of language learners’ incompetence in speaking English from teachers’ perceptions which have to be investigated. In order to examine the teachers’ perceptions of students’ problems and possible causes when speaking English in the EFL classrooms, I interviewed three English teachers in a junior high school. Semi structured-interview was used to generate data, which were then analysed by using the Interactive Model of data analysis. The results indicated that lack of vocabulary, lack of confidence, fear of making mistakes and language anxiety as students’ problems in speaking. In addition, the teachers perceived the possible causes derived from both intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as students’ motivation or willingness to practice speaking English and the environmental factors like family support which hindered the students from delivering their best speaking performance.

Published: April 2022

Aims of the research: 1) to problematize the topic of science and education and propose an alternative, Chinese-specific approach to science and education; 2) to identify the characteristics of scientific enthusiasm and motivation of the most prominent Chinologists - V.M. Alekseyev and Guo Moruo, to consider their experience and scientific worldview as examples of scientists looking for ways to scientific enthusiasm and motivation in education. The topic of scientific enthusiasm and motivation is highlighted in the context of modern, stressful conditions for science, when the life of researchers in various fields enables not scientific activity, which is specified in writing and publishing articles in scientific publications, but more pressing issues, for example, of finance and overcoming the difficulties of the COVID pandemic. The topic of the crisis of Western culture is problematized, the possibility of studying alternative worldview systems and methodologies is substantiated. The research describes the life path and systematizes the scientific worldview of academician V.M. Alekseyev, a great Russian Chinologist, as well as the factors that inspired his scientific activity. We describe the main episodes of the life and scientific path of the outstanding Chinese academician Guo Moruo, widely known at one time in the USSR and the People's Republic of China, and now all over the world. The life milestones of Guo Moruo are briefly outlined, his characteristics as a scientist and writer, a public figure are given, the peculiarities of his personality and creativity are studied; the factors that influenced his personality are summarized in his scientific achievements. His scientific methodology is reconstructed and his main ideological positions and character traits that have become factors of his scientific, creative and social activities are formulated.

We describe phraseological practice at the English language lessons. Phraseological units are fixed expressions, the meaning of which is not determined by the meaning of the component parts of this expression. The study of phraseological units is essential not only to understand the culture of native speakers but also to develop and enrich the students’ speech. The research considers phraseological practice in the student course in foreign languages, namely English, phases of working at lexemes, including phraseological units, namely introductory phase, primary testing and practical use in monologues and dialogues. The research also describes practice types of a certain phase and offers a set of exercises for phraseological practice, which is useful for formation and development of lexical skills. The use of the complex approach to phraseology learning enables students to understand the meaning, to identify the units in texts and speech that will encourage their further use in students’ own speech. It will allow students to be on the next level of language mastery.

Authors:   Moscow City University, BORSHEVSKAYA ANASTASIA YU. , KARPOVA SVETLANA I. ,   Moscow City University
Published: April 2022

The issue of reading interest formation among older preschoolers is relevant due to the general decline in reading culture in modern society, the underestimation of the fiction role by parents and the introduction of children to reading for their intellectual, social, artistic, aesthetic and psycho-emotional development. Parents stopped reading books to their children, using electronic audiovisual products as a means of children's knowledge of the world around them; as a result, modern preschoolers develop outside the context of book culture, which negatively affects their mental development. The aim of the study is to develop organizational and pedagogical conditions that ensure formation effectiveness of reader interest in fiction among older preschoolers based on the scientific sources analysis. Reader interest in senior preschool age is a dynamic personal formation, which manifests itself in the child's conscious and selective attitude in choosing the types and genres of works of fiction to meet cognitive and artistic and aesthetic needs. The effectiveness of the reader interest formation among 7-year-old children will be facilitated by the implementation of complex with organizational and pedagogical conditions in the preschool institution educational practice. The complex includes development of a model and program of pedagogical support for reader interest formation in fiction among older preschoolers, social partnership relations with a children's library, developing subject-spatial environment in the preschool group, enriched with didactic and subject material focused on the literary development of older preschoolers.

Published: April 2022

We consider the correctional possibilities of the neuropsychological approach in remedial for preschoolers with disabilities (on the example of a special case - preschoolers with specific language impairment). Deviations in other fields of cognitive development in defect structure of children with speech disorders complicate the remedy. The application of the neuropsychological approach allows including closely speech-related higher mental functions in the correctional process. In addition, preschoolers with specific language impairment have a lower level of development of some cognitive processes compared to normotypic peers. These features determine the holistic study of higher mental functions in children with specific language impairment and the active inclusion of neuropsychological technologies in the remedy. The use of the neuropsychological method enables to determine priority of strategies for children’s remedy with regard to the peculiarities of the structure of the defect and the leading disorder. As closer integration of disciplines studying children with developmental disabilities is currently required, the use of a neuropsychological approach aligns the speech therapy, psychological and clinical aspects of the diagnostic examination of preschoolers with disabilities. The integration contributes to the optimization of the entire process of diagnostic study of children with speech disabilities. Remedial work to overcome the specific language impairment should be based on the peculiarities of the internal structure of the speech defect and fulfilled on the basis of integrative technology that combines the speech therapy and psychological aspects of corrective action within a single system.

Based on an original corpus, and also on the important contributions of Haegeman 2012, Pană Dindelegan & Maiden 2013, and Lahousse 2010, I intend to demonstrate in this article that there are specific factors that influence the VS syntactic configurations of Romance languages (Romanian, Italian, and French), and these factors are directly connected to the internal information structure. From a methodological point of view, this is an empirical study, combining comparative and corpus analyses, qualitative and quantitative observations, and using the instruments of Morphosyntax and Pragmatics. In the end, the results of the analysis highlight the idea that both information structure and the “pro-drop” feature have a big impact on the word order of the constituents, generating a significant discrepancy between Romanian and Italian, on the one hand, and French, on the other hand.

For many years, undergraduate students’ foreign language anxiety (FLA) has been investigated. These students have experienced different levels of FLA due to several variables leading them to feel anxious during final summative examinations. In this context, several EFL future engineers show anxiety when performing classroom final project presentations and oral examinations at ESPRIT, School of Engineering, Tunisia. Despite the significance of FLA for research and researching, few studies missed the correlation between anxiety and final oral assessments in Tunisian academic settings. Thus, the researchers in this study were interested in reviewing the factors and causes of anxiety as experienced by EFL students so that the right strategies can be implemented. This study collected data from 129 participants of both electromechanical and civil engineering second-year students through an adapted version of the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) developed by Horwitz, et al. (1986). The results show eight factors and six causes impeding undergraduate students from speaking their minds orally. It follows some implications for language teaching are offered to reduce EFL Future Engineers’ English Language Anxiety while performing Final Project Presentations and Oral Examinations.

In Japanese schools, there is a problem that teachers are overburdened. Therefore to reduce teachers’ workloads, this study developed online video teaching materials to assist students to troubleshoot their tablet device operational issues. To develop the teaching materials, we first conducted a questionnaire survey among teachers to understand what kind of operational problems were occurring with tablets in the classroom. We then developed the teaching materials based on the results. The evaluation of the teaching materials was conducted through questionnaires and interviews with teachers. The results suggested that the video teaching materials were able to resolve many of the students’ problems and reduce the need for the teachers to deal with all tablet device technical problems.

Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo foi comparar as tentativas e eficácia dos arremessos entre as classes funcionais e zonas de ataque do basquetebol masculino em cadeira de rodas. Métodos: Os relatórios técnicos oficiais de todas as 42 partidas dos Jogos Paralímpicos Rio 2016 foram analisados e a quantidade de tentativas e eficácia por classe e quatro zonas de ataques foram anotadas. Para a comparação das distribuições de tentativas de arremessos por classes funcionais e zonas de ataque foi utilizado o teste qui-quadrado. Já o ANOVA one-way foi utilizado para verificar os efeitos principais das porcentagens do total de acertos e tentativas dos arremessos para cada zona da quadra e entre classes funcionais. Resultados e conclusão: Os principais resultados demonstraram que as classes mais elevadas (i.e., 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 e 4.5) representam 76% de todos os arremessos do jogo. Jogadores da classe 3.0 obtiveram significativamente maior frequência de arremessos nas zonas 1, 2 e 4 (áreas mais próximas da cesta). Enquanto os atletas da classe 4.0, apresentaram mais tentativas na zona 3 (área mais distante da cesta). Os jogadores das classes 3.5 e 4.0, comparados à classe 1.0, apresentaram maior eficácia na zona 1 (dentro do garrafão).
A Method for Real-time Adaptive Propagation Loss Modeling and Estimation Over LOS and NLOS Microcellular Radio Communication Links

Published: April 2022

Wireless cellular communication technology has developed into a very resourceful commodity worldwide. Today, people of all races can hardly live without means of voice and data cellular communication technology. Imprecise propagation loss estimation leads to high power waste, high co-channel interference and poor service quality in cellular communication system networks. This paper proposes a realistic adaptive fine-tuning method for distinctive propagation loss estimation over a microcellular communication radio links based on signal power measurements from Long Term Evolution radio broadband networks, taking non-line of sight (NLOS) and line of sight (LOS) environments into consideration. The methodology is verified by measurements taken in non-line of sight and line of sight signal propagation scenarios. The results showed that the estimated propagation losses using the proposed realistic adaptive tuning models were more accurate than the existing Cost -231 modelling estimation approach

Relevance of the article - security has always been one of the priority issues of state policy. Considering that the defence forces are an inseparable part of state security, studying their information security is essential. The feasibility of this study is confirmed by the fact that in the current conditions of development of the information society, the information technology of the Ukrainian defence forces must adapt to the current challenges and threats, to ensure proper protection of information of strategic importance to the state and collected, consolidated and stored by the defence forces. This article aims to identify problems of information security of defense forces in Ukraine to find ways of their elimination. Formal logical, systemic structural, comparative and legal methods were used to conduct the research. It is stated that by dividing the information space and cyber space, the legislator has laid down legal regulation of protection of the state's information space. It is understood that the Lithuanian and Latvian forces for combating threats to the information space were consolidated within the structure of the Ministry of Defence. Consequently, the authorities argue that the system of entities responsible for protecting the information space needs to be optimized, creating conditions for state-private cooperation in this area, as in the case of Germany, and providing these entities with qualified employees. The results obtained are important for research, law-making and law enforcement activities.
