Published: March 2024

This article describes the development and validation of Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge – Action Research in Teaching Science (TPACK-ARTS) Instruments. This instrument measures pre-service science teachers’ perception of action research and TPACK. The development and validation underwent three phases: instrument design, content validation, and construct validation. The items in the instrument were designed based on literature, and nine experts examined the appropriateness of the items in the instrument. The data from the expert validation was analyzed using Lawshe’s Content Validity Ration (CVR) method. The result suggested content validity. Exploratory factor analysis (N = 107) using principal component analysis and Varimax with Kaiser Normalization rotation generates three factors. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the three-factor model satisfies all the eligibility criteria for fit indices, showing evidence of construct validity. Furthermore, reliability analysis using the composite reliability, average variance extracted, standardized factor loadings
Designing a New Generation of Learning Management Systems
Authors: Molinari Andrea , Molinari Elena
Published: March 2024

This paper focuses on the architecture of a Learning Management System (LMS), and how to redesign it to facilitate and increase its usage inside an information system and achieve a more profound and better integration. By expanding the functionality of LMSs beyond the traditional educational setting, organizations can benefit from a centralized system that can handle a wide range of tasks. This can include project management, decision-making support, collaboration services, calendar management, bidding management, multi-point collaboration, document co-writing, etc. However, integrating these additional functionalities into an LMS can be challenging. It requires a deep redesign of the software architecture and understanding how these functionalities can be best implemented within the system. LMSs can be a powerful tool for organizations to manage various tasks other than purely educational tasks, thus improving efficiency and reducing the need for separate systems.

The Impact of the Creation of a Sovereign ESG Reference Yield Curve on Corporate ESG Bonds Issuances from Latin American and Caribbean
Authors: Cunha Daniel , Craveiro Giovana , Rossi Marina
Published: March 2024

This paper explores a granular database from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Green Bond Transparency Platform covering the issuance of 430 corporate and sovereign Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) bonds in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) that are outstanding in international markets. The goal was to investigate how the creation of a sovereign ESG reference yield curve can boost the private ESG bond market. Using a difference-in-differences (DID) approach, we empirically estimate that the creation of a sovereign ESG reference curve roughly leads to a 60 percent increase in the volume of corporate bond issuances and a 25 percent increase in the number of ESG corporate bond issuances in the external markets after three years. On the mechanisms, we argue that the sovereign ESG reference yield curve works as a benchmark for private sector ESG bond issuers by providing a standard against which the performance of ESG bonds can be measured.

Thin organic films of p-type semiconductor copper phthalocyanine (CuPc, C32H16N8Cu) deposited by vacuum evaporation on glass substrates at different gravity conditions, from 50 g to –50 g (g – denotes the terrestrial gravity acceleration) in a centrifugal machine, were investigated. Thickness distribution of the film deposited was determined by measurement of absorbance using a scanning light beam probe. An anisotropic distribution of the film was observed in the direction of source and substrate rotation. The anisotropy is associated with centrifugal motion of the source-substrate system. In a direction perpendicular to the rotation, the deposition distribution was isotropic and obeyed, in principle, the theoretical approach which requires a maximum deposition in the centre of the sample. The experimentally observed influence of the acceleration on the deposition rate of the CuPc films on the substrate was simulated.

Fungi, including Rhizopus sp., are food sources that commonly contain high nucleic acid levels. Therefore, the nucleic acid content must be reduced to achieve health standard requirements. This study aimed to isolate, identify, and produce Rhizopus sp. mycelium containing low nucleic acid. The Rhizopus spp. were isolated from tempeh collected from 12 different areas in Indonesia. Fungal identification was conducted based on morphological characteristics. The fungal isolates were selected based on mycelial growth and spore production on PDA. Biomass production of mycelium was carried out in potato extract and soybean extract media obtained from 200 g/L and 333.3 g/L, respectively. In each medium, 6 sugar levels were added, namely 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 g/L. Mycelium nucleic acid content reduction was achieved by heat treatment at 50°C and 60°C for 15 minutes and measured by a spectrophotometer at 260 nm. Fifty-eight isolates that were identified into 3 species were obtained in this experiment: R. oryzae, R. stolonifera, and R. microsporus. R. Microsporus had higher mycelium biomass and lower spore number than the other species. R. Microsporus produced a higher mycelium biomass in the soybean extract medium with 5 g/L additional sugar. The nucleic acid content of the 50°C heat-treated mycelium was 1.82% and 1.73% at 65°C. These values fulfilled the standard of mycelial nucleic acid content permitted in food by the USDA.

Vegetable cultivation in tropical riparian wetland is currently suboptimal due to unpredictability of water dynamics. Chili pepper is a fruity vegetable that is often cultivated in tropical riparian wetland but is often constrained by conditions of excessive water saturation, such as shallow water tables, waterlogging and submergence in the transition period (dry to rainy season). The aim of this research was to study the morpho-agronomy of varieties of chili peppers under waterlogging stress during the early vegetative stage. A Plot Design was used in this experiment. The main plot consisted of (1) control (field capacity, regularly watering) and (2) waterlogging (simulated by adding water to the growing substrate until a thin layer of water was visible above the substrate surface during four days, followed by a seven-day recovery time during seven days). The subplot consisted of three chili pepper varieties, namely Laris, Romario, and Takanotsume (Japanese variety). Results of this study revealed that waterlogging stress significantly affected root length, number of leaves, total leaf area, chlorophyll content (SPAD), root fresh weight, shoot fresh weight, root dry weight, and shoot dry weight after stress and after recovery time. Meanwhile, chili pepper varieties were only significantly affected the total leaf area and chlorophyll content (SPAD). The total dry weight of Romario and Takanotsume before stress, after stress and after recovery did not significantly increase under waterlogging stress, whereas the total dry weight of Laris was precisely increased, indicating that vegetative growth is continuing. The Laris was categorized as one of chili pepper varieties that had medium tolerance to waterlogging stress at the early vegetative stage.

Ganoderma is a fungal pathogen that can cause rot disease at the base of plant stems. This disease threatens oil palm production, especially in Southeast Asia. Trichoderma sp. fungi can control Basal Stem Rot disease in Ganoderma boninense but are ineffective. One solution that can be done to inhibit the growth of Ganoderma sp. is by using Dark Septate Endophyte (DSE) fungi. Research on DSE isolated from sugar palm (Arenga pinnata Merr.) has not been widely studied. The sugar palm plant is related to the oil palm plant in the Arecaceae family. This study aims to analyze the potential of DSE fungi from the roots of the sugar palm plant in inhibiting the pathogenic fungi Ganoderma sp. The stages of this research were isolation and purification of DSE fungi from sugar palm roots, DSE antagonists against Ganoderma sp., and DSE volatile compounds against Ganoderma sp. The results of isolation and purification showed that there were 18 DSE isolates grouped based on morphological similarities in the form of DSE fungi colony colors, where there were ten fungi isolates representing ten different colony colors, namely, isolate A.3.1 (1); A.3.2 (2); A.4.1 (2); A.4.1 (3); A.4.2; A.5.2; A.5.3; A.6.1(a); A.6.2(a); A.6.4(a). A total of 8 fungi isolates were tested for antagonists and volatile compound testing on Ganoderma sp. The results of the antagonist test showed that DSE A4.1(2) had the highest percentage of inhibition with a value of 36.12%, and isolated A6.2 had the highest percentage of inhibition and the lowest with a value of 15.65%. The testing results for volatile compounds showed that the isolate of DSE A4.2 had the highest percentage of inhibition against Ganoderma sp. at 18.25%. In comparison, the lowest inhibition percentage was obtained from DSE A5.2 fungi isolate with a value of 0.43%.

Self-organisation of early stress response in the biology of cancer
Authors: Erenpreisa Jekaterina , Salmina Kristine , Vainshelbaum Ninel M , Inashkina Inna , Freivalds Talivaldis
Published: March 2024

The early stress response by AP-1 (FOS/JUN), supported by upregulation of c-Myc and involved in cell-fate changes and adaptation to hostile environments, is increased in cancer. The review shows the biphasic character of this response with negative feed-back typically lasting a few hours as a feature of the genome regulation by self-organising criticality. It involves  rapid splitting of the pericentromeric heterochromatin clusters, opening of the active chromatin, and a massive transcription acceleration wave. Phylostratigraphic analysis revealed that AP-1 genes evolved in the Cambrian explosion ~500 Mya integrating the protein interaction networks of reproduction including proto-placenta intertwined with cytokine and immunity pathways, sex determination, oocyte maturation, and embryonal stemness. The peak  of this response as part of accelerated cell senescence led by AP-1 and IL-1β was found in breast cancer cell-line resistant to doxorubicin. Adaptability of aggressive cancer to treatments can be explained by emergent stress response evolutionarily protecting reproduction

Authors:   Saratov Branch of Kotel`nikov Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics of Russian Academy of Sciences, Smirnov Dmitrij , Bodrov Maksim ,   Saratov State University, Bezruchko Boris ,   Saratov State University
Published: March 2024

The problem of determination of the presence and directionality of coupling between oscillatory systems only from their time realizations is considered. One of the efficient «nonlinear» approaches to its solution is based on calculation of the phases of oscillations from the observed signals and construction of a model map describing the phase dynamics, whose properties allow coupling characterization. The approach was justified theoretically for weakly nonlinear and weakly coupled phase oscillators under the influence of normal white noise. In this work, we find out practical limits of applicability of the approach in numerical experiment (for different properties of noise and different values of phase nonlinearity and coupling intensity). Applicability of the employed working formulas for coupling estimators in a wide range of situations is shown.

Published: March 2024

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between loneliness and depression among college students in Vietnam. The study sample consisted of 523 students from the Economics/Business and Engineering disciplines, who participated in the survey by responding to questionnaires based on the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS - 21) indicators. The findings of this study indicate that while social loneliness meets the validation standards, emotional loneliness is incongruent with the context and study participants in Vietnam. The final results reveal a positive correlation between loneliness and depression (r = 0.42, P-value < 0.005). Subsequently, the research team provides recommendations that college students should actively participate in social and recreational activities, maintain relationships with friends and family to alleviate social loneliness, thereby minimizing the likelihood of developing depression. Social organizations should strive to create a friendly, open environment that fosters a sense of connection and belonging for everyone.

The course of the disease, however, seems to be milder, especially with regard to changes in the optic fundi (hemorrhages and exudates), even if the patients have had the disease for several years. Changes in the electrocardiogram and X=ray of the heart run proportionally with the severity of the hypertension. An apparently mild hypertension can in a couple of years develop info a malignant one,frequently among females between 50 and 60 years of age. I suppose that the milder course, especially with regard to the eyeground, may be due to other habits of eating in the Faroe Islands than in other western countries. The most important difference is the intake of unsaturated fatty acids6. In this connection it is emphasized that retinopathia diabetica is seldom seen in this country, even if the patients have had diabetes mellitus for many years; perhaps it is also due to the intake of the above-mentioned food, which possibly protects against arterioísclerosis.

The socalled beak duty was an obligation for all grownsup men in the Faroe Islands to deliver one beak of a raven (corvus corax varius) a year. The duty is mentionned as early as in Olaus Magnus (1555), who, to be sure, traces it to Iceland, and presumably it is of mediaeval origin. It was imposed for the purpose of reducing the damage caused to the stock of sheep by the ravens, which especially killed the young lambs. The payment of the beak duty had to be enjoined several times in the course of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century, whereupon detailed rules were laid down by Royal Ordinance of November 21, 1741. Pursuant to this ordinance it was possible in addition to beaks of ravens to deliver beaks of eagles (haliaeetus albicilla), of crows (corvus cornix cornix), and of blackbacks (larus marinus). The provision of the ordinance regarding the eagle was of little importance, this bird being already at that time extirpated as a breeding bird, and complete agreement does not seem to have prevailed as to the noxiousness of the crow and the blackback to the stock of sheep. Besides these birds, the great skua (stercorarius skua skua) is known to have been under the beak duty, which, to all appearance, contributed towardsits almost complete extirpation so that a preservation of it had to be effected in 1897, with the result that the stock of this bird has increased again. Svabo suggested about 1780 that the lesser black^backed gull (larus fuscus graellsii) ought to come under the beak duty, too, but his proposal was not carried through. Besides, opinions differed on the noxiousness of this bird. The beak duty was abolished by an Act in 1881, the opinion being that the system gave too much trouble and that it was not necessary any longer. The latter supposition was not right, however, and an awarding of prizes had to be introduced immediately, and it was also necessary by and Act of March 11, 1892 to put landowners under the obligation to seek out the nests of the raven and to destroy the brood. However, this act was never applied to any great extent, whereas the awardingof prizes has been maintained up to our time. At present small prizes are awarded for deliveries of beaks both of the raven and of the crow.

After the July revolution in France in 1830 the Danish government decided to establish the assembly of the Estates of the Realm for the various provinces. The Faroe Islands were not mentioned in the bill in 1831. Professor Schlegel, who was a member of the committee »De oplyste Mænd«, requested the King in a private petition dated 18th August 1832 to let the assembly system include the Faroe Islands. In the suggestion to the meeting of the Ministers of State, dated 8th November 1833, the officialsadvised against giving the Faroe Islands a special representation in the assembly of the Estates of the Realm because they were only such a small province without direct communication with Denmark However, the result of the meeting of the Ministers of State was that the King resolved that the Faroe Islands should be represented in the assembly of the Estates of the Realm for the Danish Islands and Iceland. The resulution, which was made on rather a random basis, made the Faroe Islands subject to the Danish political representative system. This resolution is still in force.

A Note on some Geo-Electrical Measurements
Authors: Andersen H. Lykke
Published: March 2024

In July 1967 nine electrical soundings were measured at Tjørnuvík, Streymoy, the Faroe Islands. The main purposewas to determine the thickness of the sedimentary layers, which overlay the basalt. The measurements show that the sediment cover mainly consists of three layers (Fig. 5). The average thickness of the sedimemt cover is found to be about 4 m, the maximum thickness being about 7 m. The thiakness of the layers decrease generally towards the east. Presumably, thesurface of the basalt has a moderate relief and everywhere the surface seems to be above present sea-level. (Fig. 6).

Introduction. The Geological Survey of Denmark (D.G.U.) has taken up systematic studies on che vegetational historyof the Faroe Islands. This paper gives one of tlhe first results, namely the fact that Betula nana, which to day is absent fromthe islands — as all other birches — has been growing there earlier. At Hoydalar, Streymoy, a boring ihas been made andanalyses of the lowermost samples in tlhe profile have clearly proved che existence of Betula nana.
Fornir bendingarformar av kenniorðinum og lýsingarorðum í hvørjumfalli, varðveittir í Norðuroyamáli
Authors: Zachariasen Ulf
Published: March 2024

Attention is drawn to an aberration in the dialect of Norðuroyar, an archipelago among the Faroes, from the usual Faroese definite article in dative singular. Faroese has usually coincidence of neutre with masculine, -(i)num, while the dialect in some of the settlements on Norðuroyar carries out the feminine form, -(i)ni, in all genders. It is the authors opinion, that it is an early coincidence of fem. -(i)nni with neutr. -(i)nu, arisen through a weakening of the unstressed vowel -u for the benefit of -i, which is the presupposition of this particular development, in that fem. and neutre have formed a block with the ending -(i)ni, who has pushed into the masculine.

It is also brought into notice, that the original dative-form of weakly inflected adjectives in the plural, -um, which in Faroese usually is superseded by -u from the other cases, has been preserved in the dialect of Fugloy, the eastermost of the six Norðuroyar.

OttoGelsted), harm(e), han (the use of harm(e) and hdn is exceptional in Danish poetry). Contrary to these words we have some mild ones: myg, solel (cf. Johannes V. Jensen). The author points out a series of literary traces, specially from Johannes V. Jensen, Thøger Larsen (together with Otto Gelsted) and Ludvig Holstein. The poetry of Thøger Larsen has been of a particular great importance for W. H. (for instance words like afgrund, svimmel, vildsom, nu and evighed).
Føroysk fuglanøvn hjá franska fuglafrøðinginum Brisson (1760)
Authors: Skårup Poul
Published: March 2024

Dans le dernier volume de son Ornithologie (1760), Brisson fait mention de plusieurs noms d'oiseaux feroiens. II a empruntá quelques-uns de ces noms á des auteurs anterieurs, mais d'autres noms, avec les oiseaux euxmemes, ont átá envoyes des Feroe en France par le capitaine Francois Thurot, qui visita les lles dans l'hiver de 1759/60 (A. Degn 1927). Quelques-uns de ces noms ne se trouvent pas dans des sources ácrites anterieures á Brisson.

Suivent des remarques etymologiques sur quelques-uns de ces mots. Le francais alque n'a pas ete emprunte au norvegien (FEW XV. 1, 17), mais au latin scientifique, qui l'a emprunte au feroien. — Comme nous l'avons montrá dans des articles antárieurs (voir la bibliographie cidessus, il n'y a aucune raison de penser que le francais eider ait ete emprunte au suedois par le commerce (FEW XV. 2, 84), mais le mot a ete empruntá au latin scientifique, qui doit le tenir de l'islandais; il est vrai que le premier á l'employer en latin, Ole Worm (1655), dáclare avoir reju l'oiseau des Feroá, mais la forme eider ne peut etre qu'islandaise (et l'islandais n'est pas la langue des Feroá, cf. R. Arveiller 1963, 103—4). — Le mot gorfou a ete cree par Brisson, non d'apres un mot danois (Robert III 301; Nouv. dict. etym. Larousse; le danois n'est pas la langue des Fároá), mais d'apres le nom feroi'en Goirfugel, comme l'ecrivait Clusius en 1605, aujourd'hui gorfuglur.

Un nomen agentis germanique, *harilon, plus tard *herla 'oiseau qui fait du bruit', derive de *hari)ón 'piller, devaster', peut etre l'etymon de plusieurs mots dont l'etymologie a ete inconnue jusqu'ici: la seconde partie du feroíen ógvella 'harelde' et de l'isl. hávella, haferla (ecrit Havellda par Worm 1655, change fautivement par des auteurs posterieurs en Harelda, forme employee en latin scientifique, d'oú harelde en fran^ais, voir Lockwood 1961, p. 11), l'ecossais herle 'háron', l'anglais *Herle(-king) (d'oú le francais Hellequin, Harlequin), et l'anglais *herle (d'oú le francais herle, harle, nom d'oiseau); de mSme l'etymon du francais gievre 'grebe; harle' (FEW XII 244), de l'occitan gahre, nom de plusieurs oiseaux (FEW IV 17) et du francoprov. grebe (FEW XXI 246) est probablement la racine celtique et germanique *grbo- 'oiseau qui fait du bruit' (Marstrander 1910, 391), plutót que le celtique *gabro- 'bouc'. Un nomen actionis francique apparente, *harila(n) 'tumulte, bruit', peut avoir passe dans le franfais deux fois: avant l'umlaut: harele 'tumulte, bruit', et de nouveau apres l'umlaut et la syncope: herle 'bruit', d'oú herler 'faire du bruit'; pour d'autres explications, voir FEW XVI 149 et M. Delbouille 1958.
