Authors: Correia Francisco Cildomar da Silva , Peruquetti Rui Carlos , Silva Andressa Ribeiro da , Gomes Fábio Augusto
Published: November 2020

Devido à necessidade de insumos para manutenção da colônia, as abelhas operárias realizam voos afim de coletar alimentos (pólen e néctar), materiais de construção (barro, resina etc.) e retirar o lixo do interior da colônia. Para realização do experimento foram capturadas 30 abelhas operárias, na saída do ninho, que foram marcadas no tórax com tinta atóxica e colocadas em uma caixa plástica, medindo 11cm de altura por 15cm de largura e 20cm de comprimento. As cores utilizadas na identificação das abelhas foram administradas de acordo com a distância de soltura. Adotaram-se as cores: laranja para 500m; azul para 1.000m; amarela para 1.500m; verde para 2.000m; branca para 1.600m e vermelha para 1.700m. As solturas foram realizadas uma a cada dia de experimento, sendo as distâncias medidas com o auxílio de GPS. As liberações ocorreram entre 07h e 08h da manhã, em linha reta, em relação à colônia. Para contagem do número de abelhas que retornavam, a entrada do ninho foi fechada e, a cada abelha que regressava, era reaberta, permitindo que a mesma entrasse. Para análise dos dados, utilizou-se o programa Microsoft Excel 2013. Houve uma taxa significativa de retorno até 1.500m. A partir dessa distância, o sucesso das atividades de forrageamento foi inferior a 50%, tornando-se inviável a realização de coletas, devido à perda de grande número de forrageiras. As análises mostraram que Melipona eburnea alcança um raio de ação em torno de 908 ha, podendo percorrer uma distância de, aproximadamente, 1.700m em relação ao ninho.

Decolonising the Reading of Psalm 8 in an African (Yoruba) Context.
Authors: Adamo David Tuesday
Published: November 2020

Psalm 8 is one of the most important psalms of praise to YHWH. Unlike other psalms of praise, this psalm begins with the name of God, Yahweh, which clearly and unmistakeably expresses that he is glorious throughout his creation. Psalm 8 not only expresses the glory of Yahweh, but also the value and responsibility of humanity. This article examines how Psalm 8 is read and interpreted in an African/Yoruba religious and cultural tradition as a psalm of protection, healing, and success. Some archaeological evidence seems to support the use of the Bible that way. The effectiveness of such use in the African/Yoruba Christian tradition is not doubted because a strong faith is behind it. Such use represents an African/Yoruba affirmation of faith in Yahweh who will repeat the miracles of healing, protection, and success that he had performed in ancient Israel in their present lives.

These approaches show their effectiveness in data classification in many fields, especially in healthcare. Methods: In this cross sectional study, we conducted a practical comparison between the most used machine learning algorithms in the literature. We applied kernel and linear support vector machines, random forest, decision tree, multi-layer perceptron, logistic regression, and k-nearest neighbors for breast cancer tumors classification. The used dataset is Wisconsin diagnosis Breast Cancer. Results: After comparing the machine learning algorithms efficiency, we noticed that multilayer perceptron and logistic regression gave the best results with an accuracy of 98% for breast cancer classification. Conclusion: Machine learning approaches are extensively used in medical prediction and decision support systems. This study showed that multilayer perceptron and logistic regression algorithms are performant ( good accuracy specificity and sensitivity) compared to the other evaluated algorithms.
Machine Learning Enables Highly Accurate Predictions of Photophysical Properties of Organic Fluorescent Materials: Emission Wavelengths and Quantum Yields
Authors: Ju Cheng-Wei , Bai Hanzhi , Li Bo , Liu Rizhang
Published: November 2020

The development of functional organic fluorescent materials calls for fast and accurate predictions of photophysical parameters for processes such as high-throughput virtual screening, while the task is challenged by the limitations of quantum mechanical calculations. We establish a database covering >4,300 solvated organic fluorescent dyes and develop new machine learning (ML) approach aimed at efficient and accurate predictions of emission wavelength and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Our feature engineering has given rise to Functionalized Structure Descriptor (FSD) and Comprehensive General Solvent Descriptor (CGSD), whereby a highly black-box computational framework is realized with consistently good accuracy across different dye families, ability of describing substitution effects and solvent effects, efficiency for large-scale predictions and workability with on-the-fly learning. Evaluations with unseen molecules suggests a remarkable MAE of 0.13 for PLQY and 0.080 eV for emission energy, the latter comparable to time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. An online prediction platform was constructed based on the ensemble model to make prediction in various solvents (https://www.chemfluor.top/). Our statistical learning methodology will complement quantum mechanical calculations as an efficient alternative approach for the prediction of these parameters.
In Silico Probing Ca2+ and Zn2+ Permeable Transmembrane 4Aβ1-42 Barrel
Authors: Ngo Son Tung
Published: November 2020

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is known as one of the most popular forms of dementia affecting numerous people worldwide. The Amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides form oligomeric conformations that cause the intracellular Ca2+ and Zn2+ abnormality leading to the death of neuron cells. The failure of AD therapy targeting Aβ oligomers probably caused by misunderstanding the ions transport through transmembrane Aβ (tmAβ) ion-like channel since Aβ oligomers transiently exist in a mixture environment involving various order of Aβ oligomers. The high-resolution of tmAβ peptides are thus unavailable until the date. Fortunately, computational approaches are able to complement the missing experimental structures. The transmembrane 4Aβ1-42 (tm4Aβ1-42) barrel, one of the most neurotoxic elements, was thus predicted in the previous work. Therefore, in this context, the Ca2+/Zn2+ ions transport through the tm4Aβ1-42 barrel was investigated by using the fast pulling of ligand (FPL) and umbrella sampling (US) methods. Good consistent results were obtained implying that Ca2+ ion transport through tm4Aβ1-42 barrel with a lower free energy barrier compared with Zn2+ ion. The obtained results about Ca2+/Zn2+ transport across tmAβ1-42 barrel probably enhances the AD therapy since we can design an inhibitor is able to block the transport.
Machine Learning Solvation Environments in Conductive Polymers: Application to ProDOT-2Hex with Solvent Swelling
Authors: Magdau Ioan-Bogdan , Miller Thomas
Published: November 2020

Automated identification and classification of ion solvation sites in diverse chemical systems will improve the understanding and design of polymer electrolytes for battery applications. We introduce a machine learning approach to classify and characterize ion solvation environments based on feature vectors extracted from all-atom simulations. This approach is demonstrated in poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene), which is a promising candidate polymer binder for Li-ion batteries. In the dry polymer, fourdistinct Li+ solvation environments are identified close to the backbone of the polymer. Upon swelling of the polymer with propylene carbonate solvent, the nature of Li+ solvation changes dramatically, featuring a rapid diversificationof solvation environments. This application of machine learning can be generalized to other polymer condensed-phase systems to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying ion solvation.
The Impact of Hydrogen Valence on Its Bonding and Transport in Molten Fluoride Salts
Authors: Lam Stephen T. , Li Qing-Jie , Mailoa Jonathan P. , Forsberg Charles , Ballinger Ronald , Li Ju
Published: November 2020

Interest in molten salts has increased significantly over the last decade due to their potential application in various clean-energy technologies including hydrogen generation, solar heat storage, and advanced nuclear power plants. In the development of new molten salt-based fission and fusion systems, controlling hydrogen poses a critical challenge due to its ability to corrode structural materials as 3H+, and its potential to cause significant radioactive release as diffusive 3H0. Yet, the chemistry and transport behavior of the hydrogen species remain poorly understood despite several decades of research. Using ab initio molecular dynamics, we present a coupled examination of hydrogen valence, speciation and transport in the prototypical salts 66.6%LiF-33.3¾F2 (Flibe) and 46.5%LiF-11.5%NaF-42%KF (Flinak). We discovered significant differences between 3H0 and 3H+transport behaviors. 3H+ diffuses 2-4 times slower than 3H0, which can be ascribed to hydrogen bonding and complexation in solution. This work helps explain varying experimental results and provides useful species transport data for designing hydrogen control systems for molten salts.

Published: November 2020

X-ray scintillating NaGdF4: Eu and Tb nanophosphors were synthesized via co-precipitate and hydrothermal methods, encapsulated with silica, functionalized with biotin, and characterized by X-ray excited optical luminescence spectroscopy and imaging. The nanophosphors synthesized by co-precipitate method were ~90 and ~106 nm in size, respectively; nanophosphors synthesized by hydrothermal method showed the highest luminescence intensity. Further, we investigated the effect of thermal annealing/calcination on the X-ray excited luminescence spectra and intensity. We observed, at high-temperature, NaGdF4: Eu@SiO2 converts to NaGd9Si6O26: Eu which is also an X-ray scintillator. The particles generate light through tissue and can be selectively excited using a focused X-ray source for imaging and light generation applications. The particles also act as MRI contrast agents for multi-modal localization.

Published: November 2020

We present a computational study of the one-photon and excited-state absorption from the two lowest-energy excited states of uracil in the gas phase: an n?pi* dark state

(1n) and the lowest-energy bright ??? pi-pi* state (1?pi). The predictions of six di?fferent linear response electronic structure methods, namely TD-CAM-B3LYP, EOM-CCSD,

EOM-CC3, ADC(2), ADC(2)-x and ADC(3) are critically compared. In general, the spectral shapes predicted by TD-CAM-B3LYP, EOM-CCSD, EOM-CC3 and ADC(3) are fairly similar, though the quality of TD-CAM-B3LYP slightly deteriorates in the high energy region. Computing the spectra at some key structures on the di?fferent potential energy surfaces (PES), i.e. the Franck-Condon point, the 1n minimum,

and structures representative of di?fferent regions of the 1? PES, we obtain important insights into the shift of the excited-state absorption spectra, following the motion of the

wavepacket on the excited state PES. Though 1pi ? has larger excited-state absorption than 1n, some spectral regions are dominated by these latter signals. Aside from its

methodological interest, we thus obtain interesting indications to interpret transient absorption spectra to disentangle the photoactivated dynamics of nucleobases.

Published: November 2020

Metal-organic framework crystal-glass composites (MOF CGCs) have previously been formed by embedding crystalline MIL-53(Al) within a ZIF-62 glass (agZIF-62) matrix. Here we highlight thermal stability considerations in the formation of MOF CGCs, and subsequently report the synthesis of two novel MOF CGCs, by incorporating MIL-118, and UL-MOF-1 within agZIF-62. These new materials, alongside the prototypical MOF CGC formed using MIL-53(Al), were studied using scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and gas sorption techniques. The gas uptake in composites formed from MIL-118C and UL-MOF-1 is largely dominated by the agZIF-62 matrix, suggesting that to improve the porosity of the MOF CGC, the matrix porosity must be improved, or a percolation threshold must be overcome.

Published: November 2020

Пробиотики представляют клинически важные микроорганизмы, имеющие полезные свойства для кишечной микробиоты и способность влиять на заболеваемость желудочно-кишечного тракта (ЖКТ). Приведен научный обзор результатов большого числа метаанализов исследований (с 2004 по 2019 г.) по оценке эффективности применения пробиотиков при лечении острой диареи, антибиотикоассоциированной диареи, эрадикационной те-рапии инфекции Helicobacter pylori, при функциональном запоре. По данным 9 метаанализов (из них 2 Кокрейновских метаанализа), применение про-биотиков для лечения острой диареи у взрослых и детей позволяет достоверно сократить продолжительность диареи более чем на 1 сут и способ-ствовать ускорению излечения через 3–4 дня. Наиболее выраженный эффект пробиотиков при острой диарее отмечен у детей до 5 лет, в связи с чем пробиотики включены в Европейские рекомендации для лечения острого гастроэнтерита у детей. По данным 12 метаанализов (из них 3 Кокрейновских метаанализа) пробиотики показали значимую эффективность в предупреждении и лечении антибиотикоассоциированной диареи, снижая риск раз-вития диареи на 40% и более в разных популяциях пациентов (взрослые, пожилые, дети). В 2 Кокрейновских метаанализах показана эффективность пробиотиков для предупреждения диареи, вызванной инфекцией Clostridioides difficile, снижая риск на 60% и более. В 14 метаанализах установлена эффективность пробиотиков в дополнение к разным схемам эрадикационной терапии H. pylori в увеличении частоты эрадикации и снижении риска развития побочных эффектов антибиотиков на 40–50%, что получило значимость в клинических рекомендациях Маастрихт V (Maastricht V). В 10 ме-таанализах установлена эффективность пробиотиков по влиянию на кишечный транзит при функциональном запоре, кроме того, пробиотики спо-собствовали уменьшению запоров. Наибольшую клиническую значимость для лечения и профилактики заболеваний ЖКТ получили два вида про-биотиков – Lactobacillus и Saccharomyces, а именно штаммы Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG и Saccharomyces boulardii, для лечения функциональных запоров – пробиотики рода Bifidobacterium lactis. Кроме того, установлен дозозависимый эффект пробиотиков, и наибольший эффект проявляется при использовании высоких дозировок – не менее 109–1010 КОЕ/сут. Доказательность применения пробиотиков в лечении заболеваний ЖКТ у взрослых и детей также определена в рекомендациях Всемирной гастроэнтерологической организации 2017 г.

Published: November 2020

Covid -19 is an infectious disease caused by the newly discovered strain of coronavirus. As there is no vaccine discovered, the only way to prevent the spread is through following the practice of social isolation. But prolonged isolation may also lead to psychological stress and problems. The objective of the survey was to assess the knowledge and awareness of preventive measures against Covid 19 amongst small shop owners. A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted amongst the small shop owners.  A structured questionnaire comprising 15-17 questions had been put forth to assess the Covid 19 related knowledge and perception. The shopkeepers were contacted telephonically and responses recorded. The data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS statistics. Although the majority of the population had a positive perception about the preventive measures against the Covid spread, 36% of the shopkeepers were not aware of the preventive measures against the Covid spread. This study found optimal knowledge and perception of the preventive measures against Covid spread among the shopkeepers but misinformation and misunderstanding still prevailing. The shopkeepers are crucial in the prevention of the spread of Covid 19 and educating them might aid us in the fight against Covid- 19.

Overview of the Relationship between Internal Control and Corporate Governance
Authors: Xucui Li
Published: November 2020

As the global economic crisis deepens, people have a clearer understanding of risks. Since internal control and corporate governance can better control risks in the development of a company, how to properly handle the relationship between internal control and corporate governance has become the focus of research. There are mainly three views on the relationship between the two among scholars’ researches including environmental theory, basic theory and chimerism theory. In the normal operation of a company, as internal control and corporate governance are closely related, people are more inclined to the point of view of chimerism, claiming that the two affect each other and they are inseparable.

Published: November 2020

Nowadays, the wave of mergers and acquisitions in the capital market is still surging. High evaluation does bring high performance, and the huge impairment of goodwill has become a key factor for the frequent Black Swan events of listed companies. Starting from the essence of goodwill, using Chinese A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2019 as samples and based on the market data, distribution analysis and performance impact, this paper argues that problems of goodwill impairment in China are incomplete accounting standards, inexhaustive impairment implementation and incomprehensive market supervision, thus giving reasonable suggestions. Proper follow-up measurement of goodwill is conducive to improving accounting information quality and adapting to capital market demands, which is of great significance to the revision of international standards.

Language as a tool for marginalization of disadvantaged students in Lebanon
Authors:   , Chatila Samira N.
Published: November 2020

With the influx of Syrian refugees to Lebanon, the attention of research has focused on the marginalization and vulnerability of these children including their access to school. A lot of the discussion in this field has focused on the inability of Syrian refugee children to enroll in mainstream public Lebanese schools due to the language challenge, in particular learning mathematics and sciences in English and French. This has resulted in segregating Syrian children in afternoon school shifts. However, this discourse overlooks the effect of the colonial practices on the Lebanese educational system and how it has marginalized a large sector of the vulnerable Lebanese children attending public schools since Lebanon’s independence in 1943. The study investigates the interplay between the colonial history of Lebanon, today’s educational policies and practices, and school outcomes of children from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. It shifts the debate from the discourse of refugees being the problem to the inherited structural inequalities of the Lebanese educational system. The study follows a mixed method design with qualitative and quantitative components. It comprises a survey with students in addition to interviews with Lebanese and Syrian children, school principals, teachers, and parents. Classroom observations were also conducted. Mentors and trainers from the Lebanese Ministry of Education and Higher Education were also interviewed. Research findings revealed that foreign language was experienced as a barrier to learning and a source of marginalization by both Syrian and Lebanese students. The thesis raises questions concerning the language policy in Lebanon. It also questions the call to segregate and “dumb” down the curriculum for Syrian refugees in afternoon shift. Finally, it highlights the quality of teaching foreign languages in public schools and its effect on the attainment of children from disadvantaged socio-economic background.
Explaining the downfall of Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi
Authors:   , El Esrawi Mouataz
Published: November 2020

This is a study on Egypt’s brief interlude of civilian rule that lasted for just over a year between June 2012 and July 2013. In June 2012, Mohamed Morsi, the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), ascended to the presidency in what was hitherto Egypt’s most democratic election. Morsi, the first civilian to hold the highest office in the state, was ousted from power in July 2013 in a military coup that was led by General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. This study seeks to explain the downfall of the Morsi regime, through emphasizing the dynamic interplay of three factors: 1) the regime’s mismanagement of relations with powerful and autonomous state institutions (particularly the military) and with broad segments of Egyptian society; 2) its inability to reverse the deterioration in Egypt’s economic performance; and 3) its mishandling of Egypt’s external relations with powerful regional and international players. The thesis contends that while none of the aforementioned factors singlehandedly explains why Egypt’s democratic experiment under Morsi (imperfect as it was) fumbled, their complex interplay created a powerful platform that the military, and its allies within the state and society, exploited to bring down Morsi and the MB. The thesis hopes to contribute to the literature on the domestic and international conditions that can often lead to the faltering of democratic transitions. Keywords: Egypt,
Applying Agile Learning to Teaching English for Specific Purposes
Authors: Lazorenko Liudmyla , Krasnenko Oksana
Published: November 2020

The present paper aims to analyse the Agile learning implementation and describe the eduScrum practices in teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) at Information Technology and Cybernetics Faculties of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine). Based on a mixed-method research design, our research studied Agile learning both qualitatively, and quantitatively through the use of observation, interviews, pre- and post-tests, and the questionnaire. The experimental focus group research proved the efficiency of applying Agile methods in a project-learning environment to teach Information Technology (IT) students. It showed that Agile learning through eduScrum practices encourages communication, knowledge sharing, critical thinking, creativity, enhances student engagement and the development of a mindset aimed at constant improvement. Planning, processing, presentation making, as well as analysis, and assessment practices were outlined in the ESP eduScrum teaching. They facilitated students to acquire and retain the practical experience and become confident lifelong learners in a modern VUCA-world. The criteria-based assessment resulted in drawing students’ attention to the problematic aspects of learning and evaluating their knowledge and skills more reasonably. The proposed eduScrum practices could be applied alternatively into the traditional classroom academic environment due to their productivity.
Teaching History in Ways C21st Students Learn – A Design-Based Research Perspective
Authors: Sebbowa Dorothy Kyagaba , Ng’ambi Dick
Published: November 2020

One of the challenges of teaching current students’ history is how to transform a generally boring subject to appeal to 21st century students. The continued use of traditional methods in teaching history by lecturers emphasizes recitation and narration. This makes student inactive. In this paper, we propose a model for teaching history using emerging technologies in ways that stimulate learners’ interest and draw on historical contexts. Following the four stages of design-based research methodology, two iterations were designed and examined where pre-service teachers (C21st students) used multimodal affordances of emerging technologies (modern tool) to interrogate historical facts (history) in creative and engaging manner. The findings suggest that design principles and guidelines have potential to help students and teachers to restore interest in history teaching and learning while simultaneously guiding and interpreting the human past. A major outcome of this research was the development of five major design principles and guidelines for teaching history in ways that C21st students learn - ¬¬connecting with the present, appreciating heritage, dialogue in history, doing history and validating history.
