Development of “Xiaohua Online” an Apps in Mandarin Language Classroom
Authors:   UiTM SARAWAK BRANCH, Ming Ming Ngien , Siaw San Loh , Yap Tze Kie Jenny
Published: May 2023

Traditional methods of language learning have certain limitations. Through the development of game applications, learners' memory can be deepened, and their interest and motivation can be stimulated to improve their learning efficiency. After literature review, the currently available application programs are capable of providing learners with a very good education in Mandarin but there is not a single learning application that makes use of a narrative or level-taking mode. Every currently available program is geared toward the practice approach. In addition, the language medium that is used in the apps is most commonly English, and the researchers have not come across any Chinese learning programs that include the Malay language as an attached component. Games applications based on stories can help to increase learners’ interest in learning, and the process of progressing through levels can make learning both challenging and interesting. An application with additional Malay annotations can make the software more valuable and convenient for Mandarin learner who had mastered Malay. Thus, researchers came up with the concept of "Xiaohua Online" to address this issue. “Xiaohua Online”, is an online game for beginners in Mandarin. Using the search for a scattered map of Sarawak as the main thread of the game, it integrates the learning content from the UiTM Mandarin course. Based on a systematic and well-developed game curriculum, as well as targeted tests, it is hoped that it can breaks through the constraints of time and space, thus enhance learners' sense of achievement and motivation.
Modelo policial bipartido
Authors: Ferreira Joziel Antunes , Puhl Eduardo
Published: May 2023

As estatísticas insatisfatórias fazem a sociedade, além dos próprios agentes ocupados da segurança pública, clamarem por alterações que atendam não apenas a eficiência no serviço público, mas, principalmente, os anseios da população. Pautando-se nas normas constitucionais, administrativas, penais e processuais penais vigentes no Brasil, bem como na realidade da segurança pública, o presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o modelo policial adotado pelo Brasil em face daquele utilizado pela maioria dos demais países, denominado de ciclo completo, que, pelos dados analisados, mostra-se mais eficiente no combate à criminalidade. A partir da utilização do método dedutivo, com aplicação de técnica de revisão bibliográfica, busca-se, portanto, apontar solução que permita uma atuação funcional plena, decorrente da adoção de um posicionamento mais pragmático e técnico, que vá ao encontro de um dos princípios basilares da Administração Pública, qual seja, o princípio da eficiência.
Notas sobre a relação entre direito e música
Authors: Müller André Steilein , Taporosky Filho Paulo Silas
Published: May 2023

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo relacionar o Direito e a Música, intentando demonstrar possíveis reflexões acerca das questões jurídicas por meio da manifestação artística. A arte está profundamente ligada a sociedade, tratando-se de um meio comunicativo democrático e também contraditório. A partir da manifestação artística, pode-se observar de forma ampla a maneira com que os problemas tratados pelo mundo jurídico refletem na sociedade. A arte está engajada com as questões sociais e uma das suas tantas ramificações é a música. A música, por sua vez, é capaz de refletir a realidade social a partir dos vários fatores na qual a mesma encontra-se inserida. Diversos gêneros musicais nascem a partir da necessidade de expressar uma visão por meio de outros olhos, e é a partir disso que a presente pesquisa pretende aprofundar a forma com que os problemas tratados pelo direito refletem no cenário musical, trazendo ao debate a necessidade de refletir o direito para além das formas tradicionais, traçando assim um paralelo entre a arte em forma de música e a importância de sua visão crítica reflexiva para o direito.

Authors: Kalenik Marek , Wichowski Piotr , Chalecki Marek , Kiczko Adam
Published: May 2023

The objective of this experimental study was to examine whether an assisting layer of lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) of the granulation 1–4 mm, introduced into a subsoil, is able to improve an efficiency of removal of total nitrogen and total phosphorus from domestic wastewater. In the investigations, an assisting 0.10 and 0.20 m thick LECA layer was applied. It has been observed that the effectiveness of removal of total suspended solids (TSS), total nitrogen and total phosphorus from wastewater as well as the level of biochemical oxygen demand ( BOD 5) and chemical oxygen demand ( COD) is in accordance with the Polish standards on wastewater disposal into grounds and surface water. The performed experiments showed that the effectiveness of raw wastewater purification for the medium sand soil bed with the 0.20 m thick assisting LECA layer is higher than for the 0.10 m thick assisting layer. In the medium sand soil bed with the 0.20 m thick assisting LECA layer, the removal efficiency regarding total nitrogen increased by 20.6%, total phosphorus by 5.2%, ammonium nitrogen by 8.8% and TSS by 5.3%, and reduction efficiency regarding BOD 5 increased by 1.7% and COD by 2.3% with relation to the 0.10 m thick assisting LECA layer (all percentages – in average). The results of the experiment showed that the LECA with the granulation 1–4 mm can be used to assist in removal of total nitrogen and total phosphorus from wastewater with application of infiltration drainage.

Authors: Alghamdi Abdulaziz , Hmed Ghali , Aloqbawi Abdulkareem , Almutairi Badr , Alsumari Fatimah , Alharbi Mogbel , Nemer Rashed , Alshehri Rakan
Published: May 2023

Background: Effective communication between healthcare practitioners and patients in the emergency department (ED) is crucial for patient satisfaction and quality of care. This study explored patients' perspectives on communication with nurses and physicians in the ED.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a sample of 159 patients to assess the type of information relayed by nurses and doctors. The interview data were analyzed to examine nursing staff communication, physician communication, and communication difficulties.
Results: Nurses were found to be less likely to inform patients about their results or disposition. While 81.2% of physicians introduced themselves to patients, only 51.6% stated their status level. Approximately 68.6% of subjects were offered analgesia or treatment, and 60% reported no communication difficulties with medical staff. Empathy was demonstrated by 54.2% of healthcare practitioners, and nearly 80% of patient encounters were conducted in understandable language.
Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of effective communication in the ED, including empathy, information provision, and language barriers. To improve patient satisfaction and healthcare quality, medical organizations should develop comprehensive work plans, provide communication skills workshops, and enhance the ED work environment. Future research should focus on the perspectives of medical staff and explore communication in larger samples and various contexts.
Becoming the Imperfect Friend: Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Contemplative Pathways to Healing and Reconciliation in Higher Education
Authors: Findlay Denise
Published: May 2023

Throughout this reflective essay I explore Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Indigenous philosophy and contemplative education as ethical pathways to healing and reconciliation in higher education. I put forth the idea of becoming the imperfect friend in a world ethos of death by a thousand cuts as a response to the violence of colonialism perpetuated in academia. I reflect on the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh values of eslhélha7kwhiws and stélmexw as contemplative dispositions that lend themselves to the process of becoming the imperfect friend. I conclude by describing a Sḵwx̱wú7mesh -led program hosted by Simon Fraser University (SFU) in 2022-2023, named Moving Together In The Ways of The People. The program is captured in a documentary film following a dedicated group SFU educators, graduate students and staff endeavouring to take meaningful action towards reconciliation by embarking on a sacred learning journey led by Sḵwx̱wú7mesh elders and knowledge carriers on traditional, ancestral, unceded Coast Salish territories.

Published: May 2023

A hundred years after the discovery of the Merensky Reef in 1924, it is appropriate to present the new mineral andrieslombaardite in honour of Andries Frederik Lombaard who was instrumental in its discovery. Andrieslombaardite, RhSbS, was ﬁrst described as an unknown mineral from placer deposits associated with the Tulameen Alaskan-Uralian type complex, British Colombia, Canada (Raicevic and Cabri, 1976) but has since been reported from several other deposits including the platiniferous Driekop, Mooihoek, and Onverwacht pipes in the eastern Bushveld Complex, South Africa.

The mineral and the name were approved by the Commission on New Minerals Nomenclature and Classiﬁcation (CNMNC) of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA no. 2022-076) based on data in the co-type samples from Onverwacht and a co-type sample from the Yubdo stream, Birbir River, Ethiopia. Andrieslombaardite in the Onverwacht sample is a single 8 x 20 μm grain attached to laurite in a matrix of altered silicate and Fe-oxyhydroxide minerals. In the Yubdo samples, there are many grains of pale brownish gray andrieslombaardite up to 25 x 55 μm in size, included in Pt-Fe alloys, some associated with erlichmanite, and others attached to bornite and chalcopyrite.

The reﬂectance values (R%) measured in air and in oil at the COM wavelengths are 48.3 and 33.0 (470 nm), 49.3 and 34.0 (546 nm), 51.0 and 35.9 (589 nm), and 51.8 and 36.7 (650 nm). The colour values x, y, Y, λd, and Pe in air are 0.317, 0.322, 50.3, 580, and 3.2, and in oil are 0.319, 0.324, 35.6, 579, and 4.5.

The composition of andrieslombaardite is ideally RhSbS, but it contains variable amounts of Fe, Pt, Pd, and Ir that may substitute for Rh. The mineral is cubic with unit-cell dimensions of a = 6.0278(4) Å, V = 219.01(6) Å3 and Z = 4. It was synthesised at 400 and 550°C using stoichiometric elemental amounts. It is a member of the cobaltite group.

The mineralisation of the intrusive dunite pipes was probably introduced at high temperatures, under magmatic conditions. The primary assemblages were to a certain degree overprinted and redistributed by low-temperature hydrothermal ﬂuids. The Pt-Fe alloys from Yubdo containing PGM inclusions such as andrieslombaardite in the Yubdo-Alaskan-type complex were formed at some post-magmatic stage owing to PGE remobilisation during hydrothermal or metamorphic episodes.

Authors: Neema Shekhar , Kothari Rohit , Rout Aradhana , Mani Siddharth , Bhatt Siddharth , Sandhu Sunmeet
Published: May 2023

Psoriasis is a common skin disorder affecting approximately 1% of the general population. The treatment of psoriasis depends on the body surface area involvement, quality of life impairment and associated co-morbidities. Special population comprising of pregnant women, lactating mothers, elderly individuals and children, is more vulnerable. They are not included in drug trials; rendering the data for use of systemic treatment scant and is mainly based on anecdotal evidence. In this narrative review, we discuss systemic treatment options in this special population. Though couples planning a family are not considered a special population, they form a subset that require special therapeutic consideration and have also been included in this review.

3D electron diffraction (3D ED), also known as MicroED, has shown great potential in crystal structure determination in materials, small organic molecules, and macromolecules. In this work, a high-throughput 3D ED method has been implemented to identify six phases in an active pharmaceutical ingredient, griseofulvin (GSF). Batch data collection under low-dose conditions using the widely available commercial software EPU-D (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was combined with semi-automated data processing and clustering to collect and process over 100 datasets over three days. Accurate unit cell parameters obtained from 3D ED data allowed identification of GSF Forms III, I, GSF-and PEG IC-I, as well as three additional phases undetected in powder X-ray diffraction data, namely GSF II, GSF-V and a new phase GSF-PEG IC-II. Their structures were directly determined by 3D ED. Through structure analysis, we discovered polymorphism within inclusion complexes built from the same clinical drug-polymer combination. These results demonstrate the ability of the high-throughput method to accurately reveal the phase information of complex, beam-sensitive crystallisation products, which is significant for drug design where crystal form screening is crucial for the overall efficacy of the drug product.
UV-Driven Self-Repair of Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers in RNA
Authors: Crucilla Sarah , Ding Dian , Lozano Gabriella , Szostak Jack , Sasselov Dimitar , Kufner Corinna
Published: May 2023

Nucleic acids can be damaged by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, forming structural photolesions such as cyclobutane-pyrimidine-dimers (CPD). In modern organisms, sophisticated enzymes repair CPD lesions in DNA, but to our knowledge, no RNA-specific enzymes exist for CPD repair. Here, we show for the first time that RNA can protect itself from photole-sions by an intrinsic UV-induced self-repair mechanism. This mechanism, prior to this study, has exclusively been ob-served in DNA and is based on charge transfer from CPD-adjacent bases. In a comparative study, we determined the quantum yields of the self-repair of the CPD-containing RNA sequence, GAU=U to GAUU (0.23%), and DNA sequence, d(GAT=T) to d(GATT) (0.44%), upon 285 nm irradiation via UV / Vis spectroscopy and HPLC analysis. After several hours of irradiation, a maximum conversion yield of 16% for GAU=U and 33% for d(GAT=T) was reached. We examined the dynamics of the intermediate charge transfer (CT) state responsible for the self-repair with ultrafast UV pump – IR probe spectroscopy. In the dinucleotides GA and d(GA), we found comparable quantum yields of the CT state of ~50% and lifetimes on the order of several hundred picoseconds. Charge transfer in RNA strands might lead to reactions cur-rently not considered in RNA photochemistry and may help understanding RNA damage formation and repair in modern organisms and viruses. On the UV-rich surface of the early Earth, these self-stabilizing mechanisms likely affected the se-lection of the earliest nucleotide sequences from which the first organisms may have developed.
The Survey of Firms’ Inflation Expectations
Authors: Garciga Christian L. , Knotek Edward S. , Pedemonte Mathieu O. , Shiroff Taylor
Published: May 2023

The inflation expectations of individuals who lead firms can influence the prices that their firms charge customers and hence can influence overall inflation. This Economic Commentary summarizes results from the Survey of Firms’ Inflation Expectations (SoFIE), which asks top business executives for their inflation expectations once per quarter alongside a second question from a rotating set. We document that this group’s inflation expectations increased with the run-up in inflation over 2021 and 2022 but then began to decline in early 2023. The Cleveland Fed will post estimates from the Survey of Firms’ Inflation Expectations each quarter, available via clefed.org/SoFIE.

СЛОВОТВІР У «НАРИСІ СУЧАСНОЇ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ЛІТЕРАТУРНОЇ МОВИ» ЮРІЯ ШЕВЕЛЬОВА
Authors: Пена Л. І.
Published: May 2023

Метою пропонованої статті є розгляд словотвірних особливостей української мови у праці Юрія Шевельова «Нарис сучасної української літературної мови» (1951 р.). Наголошено на тому, що словотвір (дериватологію) як самостійний розділ мовознавства, а не як складову частину лексикології чи морфології, стали виокремлювати завдяки працям Івана Ковалика, який уперше в українській лінгвістиці обґрунтував необхідність такого виокремлення. В аналізованому «Нарисі» немає окремого розділу, присвяченого словотвору. Питання дериватології розглянуто в розділі «Слово в реченні (Частини мови)». Автор, описуючи граматичні особливості частин мови, звертає увагу на творення нових слів у системі кожної з них: «Наростки і приростки іменників», «Наростки і приростки прикметників», «Словотвір дієслова», «Словотвір і наголос прислівника», «Словотвір вигуків», «Кінцеві зауваги про словотвір у сучасній українській мові». Ю. Шевельов характеризує словотворчі форманти з погляду їхньої семантики, продуктивності/непродуктивності, виділяє серед них живі, мертві та стерті, ілюструючи багатьма прикладами. Окрім суфіксального та префіксального способів деривації, виділено словоскладання й описано його особливості щодо творення слів різної частиномовної належності. Звернено увагу також на такий своєрідний тип складених слів, як скорочені слова, та з’ясовано їхні типи. Акцентовано на тому, що багато слушних міркувань Ю. Шевельова перегукуються з тим, що є актуальним для сьогодення. Насамперед ідеться про творення фемінітивів, яке активно обговорюється сьогодні не тільки в середовищі лінгвістів; про доречність використання найменувань із суфіксом -к- для позначення процесів і дій (на зразок посадка, підготовка, очистка) тощо. У своїй праці Ю. Шевельов здійснив градацію способів словотворення від найпримітивніших і найменш обмежених до найскладніших і виразно обмежених. Аналізуючи словотвір, Ю. Шевельов звертається до напрацювань своїх попередників: О. Синявського, О. Курило, В. Сімовича, І. Огієнка, О. Огоновського, Є. Рудницького, М. Станиславського, Є. Грицака та ін., скрупульозно подаючи в літературі їхні роботи. У статті коротко описано систему використаних у «Нарисі» мовознавчих термінів, багато з яких можна було б повернути до сучасної української термінології замість усталених чужомовних лексем.

Urban drainage systems serve the disposal of excess water in a city by draining it through the soil surface or passing below the ground surface, to be discharged into rivers, lakes and the sea. The excess water can be in the form of rainwater, domestic wastewater and industrial wastewater. Therefore, in order to prevent flooding in urban areas, an urban drainage system must be integrated with sanitation, garbage, city flood control and also the state of the surrounding area. The objectives of this research are 1) to identify the drainage system that always causes flooding in Honipopu Village, Ambon City; 2) Determine the direction of the right drainage system in an effort to overcome flooding in Honipopu Village, Ambon City. Data collection methods used in this study include: observation, interview techniques, agency surveys, and documentation. Analysis of the data used is an analysis of the basic physical conditions of the research area, including slope, hydrology, nalysis of the data used is an analysis of the basic physical conditions of the research area, including slope, hydrology, rainfall conditions and land use. Drainage conditions in Honipopu Village are poor due to very high sedimentation and waste water discharge causing drainage to become shallow and also to inadequate drainage system. The direction of the drainage system in an effort to cope with flooding in the Honipopu village is the rehabilitation and normalization of drainage strategies.

Background

In Denmark, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pigs has been monitored since 1995 by phenotypic approaches using the same indicator bacteria. Emerging methodologies, such as metagenomics, may allow novel surveillance ways.

Aim

This study aimed to assess the relevance of indicator bacteria (Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis) for AMR surveillance in pigs, and the utility of metagenomics.

Methods

We collated existing data on AMR and antimicrobial use (AMU) from the Danish surveillance programme and performed metagenomics sequencing on caecal samples that had been collected/stored through the programme during 1999–2004 and 2015–2018. We compared phenotypic and metagenomics results regarding AMR, and the correlation of both with AMU.

Results

Via the relative abundance of AMR genes, metagenomics allowed to rank these genes as well as the AMRs they contributed to, by their level of occurrence. Across the two study periods, resistance to aminoglycosides, macrolides, tetracycline, and beta-lactams appeared prominent, while resistance to fosfomycin and quinolones appeared low. In 2015–2018 sulfonamide resistance shifted from a low occurrence category to an intermediate one. Resistance to glycopeptides consistently decreased during the entire study period. Outcomes of both phenotypic and metagenomics approaches appeared to positively correlate with AMU. Metagenomics further allowed to identify multiple time-lagged correlations between AMU and AMR, the most evident being that increased macrolide use in sow/piglets or fatteners led to increased macrolide resistance with a lag of 3–6 months.

Conclusion

We validated the long-term usefulness of indicator bacteria and showed that metagenomics is a promising approach for AMR surveillance.

This study aims to analyze growth patterns, condition factors, and gonad maturity of the white-spotted spinefoot (Siganus canaliculatus, Park 1797) in coastal waters of Bontang City, East Kalimantan. Fish samples were collected every month from February to June 2020. Fish were collected using a simple random method from the catches of fishers who landed their fish at the Tanjung Limau port, Bontang City. Fish body length was measured using a digital caliper, and body weight was measured using a digital balance. The results of this study obtained a total of 226 individual fish, consisting of 110 males and 116 females. Male fish have a length ranged from 94.78-197.88 mm and a weight ranged from 18.24-94.30 g, while female fish have a body length ranged from 90.00-201.09 mm and a body weight ranged from 17.98-95.16 g. The length-weight relationship shows a strong correlation (r2=0.967) with the regression equation W=5x10-5L2.721. The fish growth pattern is negative allometric. The average condition factor was 1.08±0.09, which reflected good growth. Gonadal mature of fish are found in May and June, indicating that the fish are ready to spawn.Keywords: condition factor; growth; Siganus canaliculatus

The objective of this study was to inventory the different fishing techniques used for the exploitation of fish in the flooded swamp forest of the Lake Tumba micro-basin on the Mbandaka-Center for Research in Ecology and Forestry (CREF Mabali) road axis in Bikoro in the Equateur Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The exchange-based surveys were carried out using a pre-established survey form to exchange with the fishermen working in the different study sites in order to obtain the expected data. The harvesting of fish was done in a traditional manner using the different fishing gears and techniques used by the fishermen in the study area. The results obtained show that the majority of the fishing practices implemented in this area are not sustainable. In total, ten (10) fishing techniques were identified, among which five (5) easily provide fish, namely, creel fishing, scooping, fishing with ichthyotoxic plants, longline fishing and line fishing, which are the most used by the fishermen. Four fishing techniques (fishing with traditional traps, scooping, fishing with ichthyotoxic plants and fishing by weeding the areas) were considered non-selective and capable of creating an imbalance in the different aquatic ecosystems surveyed. This study contributes to the improvement of the knowledge on the exploitation of the animal biodiversity of the Democratic Republic of Congo, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the perpetuation of the knowledge of the local population whose obsolete character is not in doubt.Keywords: Bikoro; Fishing gear; Fishing techniques; Ichthyological fauna; R.D Congo

This study aims to determine the effect of adding activated charcoal from tuna bones on the growth of gouramy. This research was conducted at the Integrated Laboratory of the Faculty of Fisheries, Abulyatama University, Aceh. The test fish used were gouramy seeds with a size of 2-3 g and 5-6 cm. This study used a non-factorial completely randomized design, consisting of four treatments and three replications, including A (control; without the addition of activated charcoal), B (addition of 1% activated charcoal in feed), C (addition of 2% activated charcoal in feed), and D (addition of 3% activated charcoal in feed) for 60 days of the rearing period. Fish are kept in an aquarium with a size of 60 x 40 x 40 cm as many as 10 fish per container with a water level of 30 cm. During the maintenance period, fish were fed twice a day at satiation. Parameters measured included survival, absolute weight and length growth, daily growth rate (LPH), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). The data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). if significantly different, continue further testing using Duncan. The results showed that the addition of 2% tuna bone activated charcoal in feed affected growth performance including in absolute weight and length growth, SGR, and gave the best value on FCR and SR of 8.98 ± 0.20 g; 3.36±0.13cm; 2.60±0.11; 1.63; 100±0.00%.Keywords: activated charcoal; fish bone; growth; Osphronemus gouramy
