Boehmite Nanofiber–Polymethylsilsesquioxane Composite Aerogels: Synthesis, Analysis, and Thermal Conductivity Control via Compression Processing
Authors: Hayase Gen
Published: May 2020

Boehmite nanomaterials have been researched for use in applications such as separation media, fillers for resins, and catalyst support. This study investigates the relationship between structural density and mechanical and thermal performance of boehmite nanofiber-polymethylsilsesquioxane composite aerogels. Tri-functional organosilicon alkoxide, methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), was added to a boehmite nanofibers aqueous dispersion, the colloidal nanofibers were coated and bonded with polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ), to produce transparent to translucent wet gel monoliths. Low bulk density composite aerogel panels were prepared by CO2 supercritical drying of the wet gel monoliths before their mechanical properties and thermal conductivity were investigated. As the amount of the MTMS in the starting composition increased, the fibrillar monolith skeleton coated with PMSQ thickened. Correspondingly, the Young's modulus of the monoliths increased, and the thermal conductivity decreased. The lowest thermal conductivity recorded was 26.6 mW m−1 K−1. When the amount of MTMS added was small, it was possible to deform the translucent panels by uniaxial compression. After 30 % uniaxial compression of the panel, the thermal conductivity was suppressed by 19 %. The thermal conductivity response to compressive deformation of fibrous aerogels, after fabrication, may inform future insulation material development.

Published: May 2020

Malnutrition among under-five children is a major public health problem all around the world. About more than 30% of the malnutrition world-wide is prevalent in southern Asia, a significant proportion of which is contributed by India. It is well known that malnutrition is frequently a part of a vicious cycle that includes poverty and infections, which can last a life-time and may also affect the next generations. This study aims to assess the nutritional status of children less than 5 years in a semi-urban area of Tamil Nadu using a composite index of anthropometric failure. A cross-sectional community-based study was undertaken among 168 children and anthropometric measurements were taken. Using conventional Z score indicators, 22.62% of the children were found to be stunted, 43.45% of the children were underweight and wasting was found in 45.83% of the children. Whereas using CIAF, the results were found to be 38.69% (no failure), 11.90% (Only wasting), 23.21% (Wasting and underweight), 11.31% (Wasting, underweight and Stunting), 6.55% (Stunting and underweight) 5.36% (Only stunting) and 2.98% (Only underweight). There was an unacceptably high prevalence of malnutrition among under-five children. Therefore, using CIAF showed better classification of undernutrition than conventional indicators. Also, health institutions at all levels should integrate nutrition as a health component and there is a need to educate the parents to provide age-appropriate energy-rich, locally available and nutritionally balanced food items. Accelerating the reduction in under-5 mortality is possible by expanding effective preventive and curative interventions that target the main causes of undernutrition. This will, in the long run, help in making this nation healthier, stronger, and more prosperous.

Published: May 2020

English is one of the most common languages in the world, and it has become one of the most important subjects in various countries. The native languages of China and Thailand are not English, and both countries are located in Asia and have many similarities in geographical location and cultural background. The Ministries of Education of the two countries have successively put forward relevant policies to promote the development of English education in the country. The implementation of these policies has promoted the development of college English course teaching in the country. These factors determine that the two countries have similarities in college English course teaching for Non-English majors. However, there are differences in teaching mode and teaching staff in the two countries because of their different national conditions, which make many differences, exist in college English course teaching for non-English majors in the two countries.During the author’s career as an exchange student in Chiang Mai University, she experienced the difference of college English course teaching for non-English majors in Thai universities, so the author did some researches on the basis of the understanding of English course teaching in Thai universities. Therefore, this thesis takes Sino-Thai college English course teaching for non-English majors as the research object—takes Jiujiang University and Chiang Mai University as example, and analyses their present situation from the aspects of the development and evolution, the teaching mode, and teaching staff of college English course teaching for non-English majors. On this basis, the author make a comparative analysis of the English course teaching for non-English majors in two selected universities, then find their respective advantages and disadvantages, and put forward some suggestions on the development of Sino-Thai college English course teaching.

Published: May 2020

It has been well established that plyometric
and speed training have positive impacts on fitness parameters in soccer
players. The aim of this study was to compare short-term effects of a combined
plyometric and speed training implemented on the same or separate days of a
week on change of direction (COD), linear speed (LS), and repeated sprint
ability (RSA) in young soccer players. Twenty-four male players from the same
U19 soccer team were distributed into one control group (CG; n=7, soccer
training only) and two experimental groups performing plyometric and speed
exercises on the same (CDG; n=8) or separate days (CWG; n=9) during a 6-week
preparation period. Very likely moderate within-group COD improvements
were observed in the CDG (ES -0.94 [-1.47 to -0.41]) and CWG (ES -0.97 [-1.52
to -0.42]) groups. Possibly small within-group RSA improvements were
also observed in the CWG (ES -0.24[-0.64 to 0.16]) and CDG (ES -0.31 [-0.79 to
0.17]) groups. CWG and CDG groups showed possibly small (ES -0.28 [-0.62
to 0.06]) and very likely moderate (ES -0.80 [-1.28 to -0.32])
within-group LS improvements following the intervention, respectively. In
between group analysis, a likely moderate (ES 0.71 [0.03 to 1.39])
greater LS improvement was observed in the CDG group than in the CWG group. I t is suggested to
supplement normal soccer training with combined plyometric and speed exercises
to improve COD, LS, and RSA performance
and to implement these exercises in the same session to improve LS with a greater effect.

Authors: Gamble Brenda , Crouse Daniel
Published: May 2020

Communication, problem-solving skills, emotional intelligence, and mental health and well-being are key characteristics of a resilient student. These skills are also needed to navigate increasingly complex life and work environments in the 21st century. In addition, resilient students are dedicated to learning, are focused on academic success, and are better equipped to adapt to change and the evolving workplace. An interdisciplinary team from both secondary and post-secondary educational institutions situated at Ontario Tech University, Oshawa, Canada have collaborated to develop and implement strategies and curricula to support and enhance student resilience. The Mental Health Commission of Canada recommends “increase collaboration between (these) institutions - sharing best practices and processes for effective strategy development, and implementation” to better support student reliance and the successful transition from secondary to post-secondary education.  We present the overall rationale and approach taken to support capacity building for student resilience in post-secondary institutions.  As well as highlighting specific curricula and virtual strategies implemented (e.g., Graphic Novel, Mandalas, Resiliency Handbook) to engage students in building and maintaining resilience.

Authors: Labh Shyam Narayan
Published: May 2020

This study investigates the effects of Lapsi Fruit Extracts (LFE) Choerospondias axillaris (Roxburg 1832) on growth performance, haematology, biochemical with some growth and immune-related genes in silver carp fingerlings (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). For this purpose, three hundred and seventy-five fish (5.17±0.13g) divided into six groups into eighteen aquaria and fish were fed six purified diets supplemented with ethanol extract (80%) of lapsi fruits (LFE) as A (0.0 g control), B (0.2 g), C (0.4 g), D (0.8 g), E (1.6 g), and F (3.2 g /100 g) for 90 days. Significantly higher (P<0.05) weight gain, %weight gain, SGR, and lysozyme were recorded in D (0.8 g) diet-fed group, while FCR was higher in the control diet group. In haematology, no significant differences (P>0.05) were observed among the treated and control diet-fed group while reducing trends were observed in SOD, CAT, and GPx levels as compared to control. Glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol level were higher in control and the decreasing trend observed in continuous feeding of the LFE supplemented diet. Protein albumin and globulin level were always higher (P<0.05) in all the treated groups and was better in D (0.8 g) diet-fed group. As compared to -actin gene, growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF-I and IGF-II) in the liver were always higher and similar results were observed in immune‐related genes interleukin‐8 (IL-8), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF- ) in the head kidney of silver carp. The results suggest that lapsi fruit extracts (LFE) can be useful as a feed supplement for proper growth and enhance disease resistance by improving immunity in blood, liver, and head-kidney tissues.

RESUMO

Introdução: A rabdomiólise é uma síndrome resultante da desintegração do músculo estriado que cursa com mialgia, astenia e colúria, sua tríade clássica. Tem como causas mais comuns o estresse muscular excessivo. Na base de dados Scielo e Pubmed não foi encontrado literatura que compare o trabalho de parto ao exercício físico, mas considerando fatores inerentes ao trabalho de partoassociados ao esforço físico, podemos inferir e caracterizá-lo como um exercício físico, visto que este também provoca estresse muscular. Objetivo: Relatar caso de rabdomiólise após trabalho de parto extenuante, com intuito de alertar sobre a prevenção, sintomas e seus fatores de risco, visando diagnóstico e tratamento precoces, melhorando o prognóstico das pacientes. Descrição do caso: Primigesta, 30 anos, 41 semanas e 5 dias, sem comorbidades, deu entrada no Hospital Unimed na cidade de Macaé/RJ com quadro de amniorrexe prematura. Após dezoito horas de trabalho de parto foi indicado cesariana por exaustão física, a pedido da paciente e de seu esposo. Durante sondagem vesical foi observada colúria, sendo realizada hidratação vigorosa com cristaloides e furosemida venosa, tendo o procedimento ocorrido sem intercorrências. Solicitados exames para elucidação diagnóstica, apresentou alterações que confirmouquadro de rabdomiólise. No pós-operatório apresentou quadro de intensa mialgia e astenia, tendo alta hospitalar no quinto dia pós-parto após melhora progressiva. Conclusão: A rabdomiólise deve ser considerada no diagnóstico diferencial de quadros de mialgia, astenia e colúria no pós-parto, permitindo seu tratamento imediato, reduzindo assim complicações renais e a comorbidade materna.

Occupational Fraud in Micro-Financial Institutions in Cameroon: Strategies for Timely Detection and Control
Authors: MUKAH Samuel T.
Published: May 2020

Occupational fraud has persistently become a hurtful problem in micro-financial institutions (MFIs) in Cameroon lately. Staff and management of some MFIs are suspended, terminated, or litigated after they are suspected of involvement in occupational fraud over the years. Such delayed detections have caused huge losses to the organisations. In this respect, a study was carried out to examine strategies for timely detection and control of occupational fraud in MFIs in Cameroon. An online survey was opened to experienced certified fraud examiners and auditors to give their experiences of strategies for timely occupational fraud detection and control in micro-financial institutions in Cameroon. The data generated was analysed, regressed, and interpreted to produce empirical results that MFIs in Cameroon apart of installing sound internal control systems, need to adopt and implement monitoring and surprise audits, tips and notifications, rotation of duty and abrogation of paid annual leave in order to secure timely detection and control of occupational fraud before it wreaks heavy losses on the institution. Furthermore, MFIs in Cameroon are cautioned to use information technology control and surveillance strategies with reservation because the facilities that support their operation are poorly developed, yet politicised. MFIs should not hope to discover an occupational fraud through accidents and/or a confessions. They are encouraged to treat their workers fairly but bearing in mind that no matter how well workers are kept comfortable occupational fraud could still be committed by management and staff who suffer from insatiable greed and/or psychosis.

Published: May 2020

Teachers’ talk is a factor that may entail to the smoothness of English teaching and learning experience. Besides, language used by teacher in the classroom is crucial, because it will influence students’ learning process and development. This study investigated the speech acts in the teacher talk at SMP Negeri 1 Rangkasbitung. This study involved the Seventh Grade English teacher of SMP Negeri 1 Rangkasbitung as the data source. Furthermore, this study used Searle’s theory of speech acts classification as the instrument for analyzing the data. Based on the analysis, there were only four types of speech acts found in the teacher talk, 68 % directive speech act, assertive speech acts with 14 %, and the last two of speech act, commissive and expressive speech act, were only 10 % and 8 % in the teacher talk during the teaching-learning process. This study revealed that the majority of teacher talks found in the form of directive speech act, in the other words the classroom interaction went one way which more likely teacher-centeredness. Likewise, the teacher-centeredness make the students talk less and most importantly make the students became dependent and passive learner. In this study, the teacher became the central subject of learning rather than the students, hence it goes against the demands of National Standard and did not follow the principles of current Indonesian curriculum. Therefore, the conclusion which can be drawn from this study is that the teacher should utilize speech acts appropriately because high quality and the appropriateness of the teacher’s speech acts can convey teaching materials effectively, enhance teaching efficiency easily, and provide active learning meaningfully.

Las emociones, la inteligencia emocional y la competencia socioemocional son algunos de los contenidos transversales que podemos desarrollar desde la Educación Física escolar. El juego motor es una fuente de estímulos y vivencias que favorece el desarrollo de las estructuras físicas y cerebrales que el alumnado de Primaria utilizará en su presente y futuro. El objeto de este estudio fue analizar las estrategias utilizadas para la resolución de conflictos tras la puesta en práctica de un programa de intervención denominado “Siente Jugando”, haciendo uso de la metodología Aprendizaje Servicio. La muestra estuvo formada por 93 participantes de Educación Primaria Obligatoria (EPO), de edades comprendidas entre los 6-8 años (41% chicas, 59% chicos) (48% de primer curso y 52% de segundo) y 50 participantes universitarios del segundo curso de Educación Infantil, quienes pusieron en práctica juegos que habían elaborado previamente para desarrollar los contenidos socioemocionales. Cada grupo desarrollaba las 6 emociones básicas y las 5 variables de la competencia (reconocimiento de emociones, autoconcepto, resolución de conflictos, conducta prosocial-altruista y empatía) durante 16 sesiones de 45 minutos (2 sesiones por semana). En los resultados, observamos un aumento significativo en el número de estrategias directas (p≤.000) e indirectas (p≤.000) tras la intervención. Sin embargo, aunque no encontramos diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el número de estrategias agresivas, a efectos prácticos sí observamos una disminución en los mismos, que repercutió en un aumento de aquellas directas e indirectas.

Apple and green tea are natural products that can be used as a functional food because they contain flavonoids in the form of question and catechin which have potential as an antioxidant. Those natural products were made into a sheet jam as modified from usual spread jams. This study aimed to determine the best formula of sheet jams with different concentrations of green tea extract in each formula, as well as a level of flavonoid, antioxidant activity, and dietary fiber from the most preferred formula. The study design was a complete randomized randomized trial. There were four formulas that had been made with different concentrations of green tea extract, which were F1=0%, F2=5%, F3=10%, and F4=15%. The parameters used in this study were panelist acceptance, flavonoid level, antioxidant activity, and dietary fiber. The results of the analysis showed that F3 was the most preferred formula by panelists based on the highest hedonic test. Flavonoid level of F3 was 0,0298%, and the antioxidant activity was 91,7530 ppm, which classified has strong antioxidant activity. This study also showed that F3 had a fiber content of 6,86%, which classified has high dietary fiber content.Buah apel dan teh hijau merupakan bahan alam yang dapat dijadikan sebagai pangan fungsional karena adanya kandungan senyawa flavonoid berupa kuersetin dan katekin yang berpotensi sebagai antioksidan selain itu apel juga memiliki kadar serat pangan yang tinggi.

Informing Better Trial Design: A Technical Comment on Lortie-Forgues and Inglis (2019)
Authors: Sims Sam
Published: May 2020

Lortie-Forgues and Inglis (2019) convincingly demonstrate that 40% of rigorous, large-scale education trials are uninformative about impact. However, they and others dismiss the value of larger trials for solving this problem, based on a miscalculation. Contrary to this, I argue that making trials larger is a feasible and affordable way of making them more informative.

According to the results of cluster analysis, the studied 423 genotypes (56 combinations) of F2 soybean, 122 genotypes (17 combinations) of F2 faba beans and 27 genotypes (4 combinations) of F2 beans developed by the method of hybridization have been divided into five clusters according to the main valuable farming traits. It has been established that the division of F2 soybean plants into 5 clusters (K5) is of the greatest interest. According it, 12 (2.8 %) plants were selected in the best group K5-IV, which exceeded the corresponding indices of other groups K5 as well as the best grroups by the main valuable farming characteristics and the best groups К2, К3 and К4. When dividing F2 plants of faba beans in 5 clusters (K5), group IV (K5-IV) was the best and included 17 (13.9 %) plants with characteristics that exceeded the average index of all groups of this cluster. The division of plants F2 of faba beans in 5 clusters (K5) made it possible to distinguish the group K5-II, in which the plants with the highest indices are located.

Authors: Petrychenko V. F. , Antypova L. K. , Tsurkan N. V.
Published: May 2020

The purpose is to determine the productivity of perennial legume and cereal grasses under conditions of natural moisture supply in South Steppe of Ukraine. Method. The studies were conducted during 2016—2018 using conventional methods, and the output of feed units, digestible protein per unit of area was determined by reference books. Results. On average over three years of research, the highest yield of leaf-stem mass of cereals was formed by Bromus inermis and Elytrigia medium tender – 11.6 and 11.2 t/ha, respectively. The lowest yield was formed by Agropyrum pectiniforme – 7.6 t/ha. Among the all legume grasses, Melilotus albus prevailed (14.8 t/ha). Medicago sativa and Onobrychis arenaria were able to form a similar yield (14.5 and 13.5 t/ha, respectively) under the arid conditions of South Steppe of Ukraine. Insufficient rainfall in 2017 caused a decrease in the productivity of the studied crops. Thus, in 2017 the average yield of green mass in the experiment was 10.3 t/ha, while in 2016 under more favorable weather conditions this figure was 13.2 t/ha or 28.2 % more. The highest output of feed and protein units (FPU) per unit of area under cereal grasses was provided by Bromus inermis (2.35 t/ha). The lowest one was recorded in Agropyrum pectiniforme (1.60 t/ha). FPU output per unit of area under legume grasses increased respectively. Lotus corniculatus provides less green mass and therefore dry matter and forage and protein units. Perennial cereals grasses do not prevail over legume grasses, so they do not spread in South Ukraine. Conclusions. The productivity of perennial grasses in the south of Ukraine significantly depends on the type of plants, weather (hydrothermal) conditions of the year. The most effective is the cultivation of perennial legumes, namely Melilotus albus, alfalfa, Onobrychis arenaria. Bromus inermis and Elytrigia medium prevail among cereal grasses.
