Authors: Sunil Kumar  , Dr.Ajaz Ahmad Dar
Published: May 2023

Dexterous refers to the skill and grace in physical movement, especially in the use of the hands, an individual who is more dexterous with the right hand is called right-handed (dextralists), and one who is more skilled with the left is said to be left-handed (sinistralists). The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of specific training on selected biomotor variables such as strength and coordination of dexterous. To achieve the purpose 40 right hand dominance college men students from Annantnag district, Jammu & Kashmir, India were selected as subjects at random and their age ranged between 18-21 years, the  selected subjects were divided in to two groups namely physical training (n=20) and control (n=20). The physical training group underwent training for 60 min/4 days/15 weeks. The maximum strength (handgrip dynamometer) and hand screwing coordination (Bennit hand tool dexterity test), were selected as dependent variables and tested before and after the experimental period for both the groups. The collected data were analyzed by using ANCOVA. Further, independent‘t’ was calculated to find out the difference between left and right hand and the magnitude of Improvement was also calculated to find out the level of improvement on dexterous. Level of confidence was fixed at 0.05. The result of the study shows that the physical training improved the maximum strength and coordination compared to control group. The difference between right and left hand on maximum strength and coordination is insignificant. Hence, it was concluded that physical training may be given to improve the dexterous (use of hands) level and quality.

The corporate environment has changed dramatically since the start of globalization, both in terms of complexity and dynamism. Companies are coping with shifting market conditions, changing workforce demographics and diversity, technological advancements, increased customer and quality focus, a talent shortage, and shifting economic realities (Noe, 2002). In order to attain long-term sustainability and total organizational success, it is crucial for businesses to continuously alter their business strategy, policies, and practices to conform to the shifting needs of the business environment. In other words, firms are compelled to implement and successfully manage change continuously (Bridges & Mitchell, 2000; Kanter, 1985). Despite the fact that organizations need to manage change more effectively, 70% of change initiatives fail (Beer &Nohria, 2000), and this failure rate has remained stable over time. Insufficient attention to issues relating to people is one of the most frequently mentioned causes of change implementation failure (Spiker & Lesser, 1995; Kotter, 1995). During the 1990s, there has been widespread recognition of the significance of employees, their psychological reactions, and their behavior during organizational transformation; yet, in practice, managers do not place enough emphasis on these concerns (Becker & Gerhart, 1996). Others who have conducted empirical studies in this area concur with this viewpoint. For instance, research on the implementation of a customer relationship management (CRM) project at three banks in New Zealand and discovered that firms tend to prioritize technological difficulties while ignoring issues relating to people.

Published: May 2023

Using an experimental research design, this study aimed to determine the effectiveness of indirect and direct teacher-student interaction patterns in the acquisition of science concepts and science process skills of two matched groups of the first year Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) students of the Mariano Marcos State University College of Teacher Education. Both groups were pre- and post-tested using science concepts and science process skills tests. Mean was used to describe the performance of the students in both tests. The t-test was used to determine the significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean scores of the two groups. Results of the t-test showed no significant difference in the pretest mean scores of both tests while in the posttest, the indirect interaction group performed satisfactorily as compared to the direct interaction group where there were students who performed fairly in both tests. Thus, the t-score of the indirect interaction group was significantly higher than that of the direct interaction group. Indirect teaching is therefore more effective than direct teaching in the students’ acquisition of science concepts and science process skills. Thus, it should be given emphasis for the effective acquisition of science concepts and science process skills.

Published: May 2023

Background: This study examined the effectiveness of solar water disinfection (SODIS) in removing coliform bacteria from water sources in Anguilla after hurricanes.

Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of SODIS as a low-cost and accessible method for water disinfection in post-disaster scenarios, explicitly focusing on the reduction of coliform bacteria in water samples collected from various cisterns.

Materials and Methods: Water samples were collected from different cisterns and tested for the presence of Escherichia coli and total coliforms using filter and plate methods. The samples were divided into three groups: Exposed to 48 h of sunlight, kept in the dark as a control, or tested immediately after collection. The effectiveness of SODIS treatment was evaluated by comparing the coliform bacteria levels before and after exposure to sunlight.

Results: Results showed a significant reduction in coliform bacteria levels in the samples exposed to sunlight. Coliform colonies decreased from 724 in the initial samples to three colonies after SODIS treatment. Complete eradication was not achieved in all samples, but a notable decrease was observed in those with initial coliform bacteria.

Conclusion: These findings contribute valuable data supporting the efficacy of SODIS as a low-cost and accessible method for water disinfection in post-disaster scenarios. Further, research and improvements are necessary to optimize SODIS methods for cistern water treatment in challenging post-disaster contexts. Continuous exposure to bright and clear sunlight for 48 h may lead to a more substantial reduction in coliform bacteria. However, it is essential to acknowledge that post-hurricane situations rarely offer ideal weather conditions.

HOẠT HÓA ENYZME CASPASE-9 BỞI TRÌNH TỰ DNA CHỨA HAI CẤU TRÚC G-QUADRUPLEX
Authors: Dũng Đặng Thanh
Published: May 2023

Caspase-9 đóng vai trò quan trọng trong quá trình chết của tế bào. Trong tế bào, caspase-9 tồn tại ở trạng thái đơn phân không hoạt tính, và trở nên có hoạt tính khi ở trạng thái dimer. Do đó, kiểm soát sự dimer của caspase-9 giúp cho kiểm soát được hoạt tính của caspase-9. Trong nghiên cứu này, hoạt tính của caspase-9 được hoạt hóa bởi trình tự DNA chứa hai cấu trúc G-quadruplex (DNA2G4). Caspase-9 được dung hợp với peptide RHAU bằng kỹ tthuật sinh học phân tử tạo nên protein tái tổ hợp RHAU23-caspase-9. RHAU23-caspase-9 được biểu hiện trong vi khuẩn E.coli dưới sự cảm ứng của IPTG và được tinh chế bằng sắc ký ái lực với cột His. Kết quả cho thấy DNA2G4 khả năng cảm ứng sự dimer của RHAU23-caspase-9 thông qua tương tác đặc hiệu giữa RHAU và G4, dẫn đến kích thích hoạt tính của enzyme. Sự hoạt hóa RHAU23-caspase-9 bởi DNA2G4 giúp hoạt tính enzyme tăng hoạt tính lên khoảng 2,0 lần so với hoạt tính của RHAU23-caspase-9. Kiểm soát hoạt tính của caspase-9 có tiềm năng trong việc ức chế sự phát triển của các tế bào ung thư.

Step by step towards more stable walking
Authors:   , van Leeuwen Anina Moira
Published: May 2023

During steady-state walking both active foot placement and ankle moment control contribute to mediolateral gait stability. Ankle moment control complements foot placement by correcting foot placement error through center-of-pressure shifts during single stance. This complementary relationship may be exploited to train foot placement control . Ankle moment constraints may promote a gait pattern with a higher degree of foot placement control. Since task constraints can interact with the effects of ankle moment constraints, the mechanisms through which training effects could manifest may differ depending on using a split- or a single-belt treadmill. When older adults trained for multiple sessions, their foot placement precision improved. As they also improved their gait stability, I speculate that the complementary relationship between foot placement and ankle moment control can be exploited to train mediolateral steady-state gait stability.

Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND: Indian Wild Orange (Citrus indica Tanaka) is an endangered and endemic species from northeast India for which effective ex situ conservation strategies, including embryo cryopreservation, are urgently needed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Desiccation tolerance
and cryopreservation ability for embryonic axes of Citrus indica was determined using three techniques (air desiccation-freezing, PVS2 vitrification-freezing and encapsulation-dehydration-freezing). Success was assessed as survival and recovery in vitro. RESULTS: Successful cryopreservation
of embryonic axes was achieved using all three methods, with the highest survival achieved when using air desiccationfreezing (90%) followed by encapsulation-dehydration (85%) and PVS2 vitrification cryopreservation (80%). Regeneration levels were lower than survival levels
for all three proceedures. Post-cryo regeneration success was: encapsulation-dehydration (64%) > air desiccation-freezing (55%) > PVS2 vitrification (52%). CONCLUSION: Although there was relatively high post-cryopreservation recovery growth obtained using
all the three techniques, the air desiccation-freezing technique is preferred, as it is a simple, practical and reproducible technique for the long-term cryobanking of this important wild species.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Our objective was to assess the effect of 18F-DCFPyL prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) on the management and outcomes of patients receiving salvage radiotherapy following biochemical failure (BF) post-radical prostatectomy (RP) using a matched cohort analysis.
Methods: A PSMA-PET cohort of patients with BF post-RP was identified through a prospective registry. Patients from this registry were included if they did not have disease outside of the pelvis and underwent salvage radiotherapy to the prostate and/or pelvis. Case-control matching was performed with a contemporary cohort of patients with BF post-RP without PSMA-PET information.
Results: Forty-four patients were included in the PSMA-PET cohort and 80 were analyzed in the non-PSMA-PET cohort. The PSMA-PET cohort had a significantly higher pre-radiotherapy median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of 0.48 ng/mL compared to 0.20 ng/mL in the non-PSMA-PET cohort (p<0.001) but these levels were similar after matching. The PSMA-PET cohort had a higher proportion of patients receiving radiotherapy to pelvic lymph nodes (n=27 [61.4%] vs. n=16 [20.0%], p<0.001). Median followup was 26 months (interquartile range 18.8–33) for both cohorts¬. BF-free survival and event-free survival were not significantly different between the two cohorts for all (p=0.662 and >0.99) and matched patients (p=0.808 and 0.808), respectively. Metastasis-free survival was significantly higher in the matched PSMA-PET cohort compared to the matched non-PSMA-PET cohort (p=0.046), although a higher proportion of patients in the non-PSMA-PET cohort underwent PSMA-PET restaging after BF (52 vs. 20%, p=0.08726).
Conclusions: Our study showed that patients undergoing PSMA-PET scans after BF post-RP had a higher likelihood of pelvic nodal treatment at the time of salvage RT. Despite higher PSA levels at salvage, we identified no recurrence or survival differences.
Real-life benchmarking bladder cancer care
Authors: Vanin Moreno Nicolas , Whitehead Marlo , Siemens Robert
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Radical cystectomy (RC) is a complex oncological surgical procedure and population studies of routine surgical care have suggested suboptimal results compared to high-volume centers of excellence. A previous Canadian bladder cancer quality-of-care consensus led to adoption of multiple key quality-of-care indicators, with associated benchmarks created using available evidence and expert opinion to inform and measure future performance. Herein, we report real-life benchmark performance for the management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) relative to expert opinion guidance.
Methods: This is a population-based, retrospective, cohort study that used the Ontario Cancer Registry (OCR) to identify all incident patients who underwent RC from 2009–2013. Electronic records of treatment from 1573 patients were linked to OCR; pathology records were obtained for all cases and reviewed by a team of trained data abstractors. The primary objective was to describe benchmarks for identified indicators, first as median values obtained across hospitals or providers, as well as a “pared-mean” approach to identify a benchmark population of "top performance," as defined as the best outcome accomplished for at least 10% of the population.
Results: Overall, performance in Ontario across all indicators fell short of expert opinion-determined benchmarks. Annual surgical volume by each surgeon performing a RC (benchmark >6, percent of institutions meeting benchmark=20%), percent of patients with MIBC referred preoperatively to medical oncology (MO; benchmark>90%, percent of institutions meeting benchmark=2%) and radiation oncology (RO; benchmark>50%, percent of institutions meeting benchmark=0%), time to cystectomy within six weeks of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in patients without neoadjuvant chemotherapy (benchmark <6 weeks, percent of institutions meeting benchmark=0%), percent of patients with adequate lymph node dissection (defined as >14 nodes, benchmark>85%, percent of institutions meeting benchmark=0%), percent of patients with positive margins post-RC (benchmark <10%, percent of institutions meeting benchmark=46%), and 90-day mortality (benchmark<5%, percent of institutions meeting benchmark=37%) fell considerably short. Simply evaluating benchmarks across the province as median performance significantly underestimated benchmarks that were possible by top-performing hospitals.
Conclusions: Performance through most bladder cancer quality-of-care indicators fall short of benchmarks proposed by expert opinion. Different methodologies, such as a pared-mean approach of top performers, may provide more realistic benchmarking.
IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM FOR TRAINING PRINCIPALS AND TEACHERS IN THE INNOVATIVE ORGANIZATION OF METHODOLOGICAL WORK IN NUS
Authors: MAIDANENKO Svitlana
Published: May 2023

The article analyzes the readiness of teachers for innovative methodical work. It is noted that the traditional system of organizing methodical work in secondary schools does not fully satisfy the requirements of modern new education, the focus of which is determined by teacher preparation for pedagogical activities in the context of the New Ukrainian School. The context of the state policy and strategy for the development of education in Ukraine focuses on a new understanding of methodical work as an important factor in the implementation of the "New Ukrainian School" concept. The tendency of demand by society for innovations in education is increasing, which necessitates the development of fundamentally new approaches to the interaction of pedagogical science and practice, the introduction of modern technologies of methodical management. The content of the experimental program for the training of managers and teachers for the innovative organization of methodical work at NUS was revealed. It is noted that the theoretical and methodological basis in the development of the experimental program was a system-structural approach to determining its content. The program reflects all the main ideas and features of methodical work at the National University of Higher Education, takes into account pedagogical culture in the management of the teaching staff, reveals the essence of management, organization, control and correction of methodical work; principles of innovative pedagogy; specifics of the educational institution; the content of the training course on mastering a sufficient level of computer use. The data collected during the experiment show that the technology of innovative organization of methodical work has its own logic, orients to a certain goal, tasks and stages of learning. Moreover, two lines interact in the organization of methodical work: one – in the logic of ensuring professional training of managers for the innovative organization ьof methodical work, which includes the ethics of service relations, the identification of "real" management problems in resolving conflicts that accompany any labor team; the other is traced within the framework of specific educational activities of teachers regarding the assimilation of the content of innovative learning technology.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ALGORITHM FOR TEACHER’S CHOOSING THE NATURE SCIENCE EDUCATION MODEL CURRICULUM
Authors: KIRMAN Vadym , ROMANETS Olena , SOKOLOVA Elmira , CHAUS Hanna
Published: May 2023

The mechanisms of teacher's choice of a model curriculum for integrated courses in the natural sciences are investigated. Heuristic algorithms for such a choice are proposed. Among them, a chaotic-search method based on the general indexing of the corresponding model program effectiveness forecast is offered, in which the teachers were asked to give a general assessment of the program and describe the rationale for the choice. The same teachers were offered to make a choice based on the so-called criterion-evaluation algorithm of choice. Namely, for the model programs, 12 parameters are proposed, which are subject to expert evaluation by teachers in an бordinal scale with ten gradations. We considered the index calculated as the sum of 12 estimates for the relevant parameters. This index allows further ranking of programs in order of preferences. Thus, an appropriate program бьselection algorithm is formed. The proposed criteria contain both subjective and objective components, so they should include information about the possibility of implementing the appropriate program depending on the level of the educational institution teacher and the material and organizational support professional competence. The article analyzed the dependence of the model educational programs choice on the example of integrated science courses and the «Geography». The statistical analysis of the conjugation tables showed inconsistency in the frequency distributions of course selections depending on the selection algorithm. This means that the criterionevaluation algorithm of choice gives different results in the relation to the chaotic-search algorithm. The question arises whether it is possible to trust the criterion-evaluation algorithm. It is noted that the answer to this question can be obtained only after analyzing the implementation of model programs. Along with the criterion-evaluation algorithm, a binary choice algorithm is proposed, where each of the criteria is evaluated on a 10-point scale, then a pairwise analysis is carried out for all criteria and, based on the statistical criterion of signs, a conclusion is made about the advantages of the program. Obviously, such an algorithm for hosting several programs could not work correctly, so it needs to be improved.

One of the views on this problematic suggests that between there are technological changes included in the most important factors when summarizing the condition of the societal world of today. The Industry 4.0 is precisely the study of these type of changes, which reviews the latest and the most actual ongoing innovations and milestones in this field. There are also various types of technologies themselves, which split the Industry 4.0 into different variations of this concept. That is why one of the methods of division of Industry 4.0 is an areal differentiation based on the specific industry which is affected by the concept. Several research and articles study and analyse the Industry 4.0 in the construction industry, which became a background for the formation of new field of study with the related term that was put to use. It is so-called Construction 4.0 and this concept is comprised of innovations and technologies used in this industry, which is one of the largest and the most influential in the economy. There are constant changes and new trends occurring in Construction 4.0, which makes it a suitable representant of the Industry 4.0 topic. Researching and exploring this subject is vital as the construction industry grows and in certain economies there is expected increase of more than 50% in usage of new technologies in this industry by 2025.

Geçmişten günümüze tüm toplumlar çeşitli ihtiyaçları ve noksanlıkları karşılamak üzere çeşitli mal ve hizmetlere ihtiyaç duymuştur. Takas ve satın alma gibi eylemlerin yanı sıra zamanla bu eylemlere kiralama yöntemi de eklenmiştir. Günümüzde gerçek veya tüzel kişiler ihtiyaç duydukları çeşitli varlıkları öz sermayeleri ile almak yerine kendileri için daha avantajlı bir metot olduğunu düşündükleri kiralama yöntemini zaman zaman tercih etmektedir. Kiralama işlemi ise bu doğrultuda muhasebe alanında finansal kiralama ve faaliyet kiralaması olmak üzere temelde ikiye ayrılmaktadır. 2019 yılı öncesinde gerçekleşen kiralama işlemlerine ilişkin olarak uygulanması gereken muhasebe politikaları ve yapılacak açıklamalar “International Accounting Standards 17 (IAS 17 Leases)” standardına göre yapılmaktaydı. Ancak Uluslararası Muhasebe Standartları Kurulu (IASB - International Accounting Standards Board) ve Finansal Muhasebe Standartları Kurulu (FASB - Financial Accounting Standards Board) Ocak 2016’da 01.01.2019 tarihinden itibaren uygulanmak üzere kiralama işlemleri için “International Financial Reporting Standards 16 (IFRS 16 Leases)” adında yeni bir standart yayımlamıştır. Türkiye’de ise Kamu Gözetimi Kurumu (KGK) aynı doğrultuda önceki standart olan “Türkiye Muhasebe Standartları 17 (TMS 17 Kiralama İşlemleri)” standardı yerine Nisan 2018’de 01.01.2019 tarihinden itibaren uygulanmak üzere “Türkiye Finansal Raporlama Standartları 16 (TFRS 16 Kiralamalar)” standardını yayımlamıştır. Bu çalışmada öncelikli olarak kiralama işlemleri “TFRS 16 Kiralamalar” standardı kapsamında incelenmiştir. Daha sonra standardın getirdiği değişiklik ve yeniliklerin şirketler üzerindeki etkilerine değinilerek kiracı ve kiraya veren açısından örnek uygulamalara yer verilmiştir.

Antibiotics in the environment represent a significant pollutant with a great impact on the biota. With the increasing use of these substances, the resistance against them notably grows. The phototrophs, as the key part of microbial communities, often have different responses to antibiotics. Some species could be inhibited; on the other hand, some species show the ability to use antibiotics as a source of necessary nutrients. In our study, we investigated the impact of streptomycin, gentamicin, and sulfacetamide on six strains of cyanobacteria commonly present in water sources. The growth inhibitory effect of the studied antibiotics was measured in sterile 96-well microtiter plates, which contained different concentrations of antibiotics (1024 – 0.5 µg/mL) during 7 days at 23 °C and with 24h illumination (light intensity 48,6 µmol. foton m-2 s-1).  Then the results were statistically evaluated, and growth curves were designed for each studied strain. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the investigated antibiotics was evaluated using probit analysis. The potential effect of antibiotics on tested strains morphology was also studied.  The results show that the antibiotics have an inhibitory effect at higher concentrations (891.76 μg/mL to 1495.10 μg/mL). The highest values of MIC were estimated for Synechocystis sp. (PCC 6803) and Cephalotrix sp. (KL 18). The stimulation of growth was observed in the strains Synechocystis (PCC 6803) and Cephalothrix (KL 18). The most sensitive strains to selected antibiotics were Chlorogleopsis fritschii (CCALA 1005), Lyngbya martensiana (CCALA 930), and Geitlerinema acuminatum (CCALA 141). Strain Cyanobium sp. (LH14) was sensitive to streptomycin sulphate and gentamicin sulphate, but sulfacetamide stimulated its growth. The visible morphological changes were caused by streptomycin in Chlorogloeopsis fritschii (CCALA 1005). After five days of cultivation the bleached cells were present in the cultures of this strain.

This study examined the level of social self-concept and perceived parental involvement of tertiary institution students in Osun State. It also looked into the correlation between perceived parental involvement and the social self-concept of students. The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The study population comprised all the students in the tertiary institution in Osun State. A total sample of 1,440 students was selected using a multi-stage sampling procedure. An instrument titled “Questionnaire on Perceived Parental Involvement and Social Self-Concept (QPPISSC)” was utilized to collect data. Data gotten were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, stepwise multiple regression analysis, point bi-serial correlation, and Pearson product-moment correlation analysis. The results showed that 69.6% of tertiary institution students in the state exhibited a high level of social self-concept while 28.8% and 1.7% exhibited moderate and low levels of social self-concept respectively. Also, a statistically significant relationship was found between perceived parental involvement and the social self-concept of tertiary institution students (r = 0.526, p < 0.05). The study concluded that the social self-concept of tertiary institution students in Osun State was high and that perceived parental involvement, locus of control, institution type and age were potent factors that could positively predict the social self-concept of students. The study recommended that any counselling intervention to be implemented by professional helpers should not be age bias.

Toward a Synopsis of the Challenges Facing Mainstream Interpretations of Skin Pigmentation in Humans
Authors: Cibangu Sylvain
Published: May 2023

When traditional or mainstream interpretations of skin pigmentation in humans were proposed, not much data was available about the anatomy of human skin in particular and pigment research in general. The most popular and influential thesis put forth to date to justify the evolution of skin pigmentation is the thesis that skin pigmentation grew out of a natural adaptation of Homo sapiens skin to scorching conditions of fiery heat faced with by Homo sapiens individuals in equatorial regions of Africa. It is thereby argued that peak UVR [ultraviolet rays] environments encountered in equatorial/savannah climate caused an eccrine gland production to offset the overheating of skin during the high physical activity of hunting exerted by Homo sapiens persons. However, with human anatomy increasingly becoming the object of scrutiny from various fronts of biology, newer insights have given rise to significant blind spots vis-à-vis traditional explanations of black skin pigmentation. The present paper takes stock of the major challenges afflicting existing characterizations of human skin evolution. Paths for future research of skin/pigment are suggested. The paper aims to lay out a follow-up on and/or synopsis of recurrent challenges that the space of pigment research has accumulated over the years, giving way to long due synergies. In a world supersensitive to racial equality and dignity, the paper furnishes concerned researchers and policy makers with a much-needed contribution to inquiry into dark- and black-skinned peoples.

Medicinal plants produced many secondary metabolites which constituted an important source of bioactive molecules. This study aims to determine organic extracts (EOs) antioxidant activity extracted from terminal branches of Pistacia lentiscus (P. lentiscus) collected at three different phenological stages (vegetative, flowering and fructification). For this, different extracts were prepared by maceration in various solvents with increasing polarity notably diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, methanol and water. Antioxidant activity was reported by DPPH free radical scavenging, iron reducing capacity and total antioxidant capacity tests. Results showed that phenological stages and solvent polarities affected significantly P. lentiscus antioxidant activity. Furthermore, aqueous and methanolic extracts from vegetative stage present the highest total polyphenols, total flavonoids and condensed tannins contents. Methanolic extract from vegetative stage exhibited the greatest antioxidant activity and even exceeded that of synthetic antioxidants BHT and ascorbic acid. In this study, P. lentiscus represents an important source of antioxidant molecules. As a result, extracts of this plant could replace synthetic antioxidants in e food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields.
