Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Ghim Hyeyoung
Published: December 2022

Objectives This study explores early childhood teachers’ perception shifts on social studies after taking a teacher education course called ‘social studies in early childhood’ designed from a critical perspective. Specifically, it attempts to identify effective teaching methods for transformative learning. The study utilizes critical theory and transformative learning theory as theoretical frameworks. Methods A survey consisting of seven open-ended questions was distributed to the teachers enrolled in class. Results The study found that the teachers have changed their perspectives in two ways. First, the teachers redefined the meaning of social studies and expanded their understanding of the subject. Second, they learned the importance of maintaining critical perspectives when perceiving the subject and society. Conclusions Based on the findings, the study stresses the importance of holding critical perspectives as teacher educators and suggests ways to incorporate their perspectives into instructional practices in teacher education.
Quantum-inspired permanent identities
Authors: Chabaud Ulysse , Deshpande Abhinav , Mehraban Saeed
Published: December 2022

The permanent is pivotal to both complexity theory and combinatorics. In quantum computing, the permanent appears in the expression of output amplitudes of linear optical computations, such as in the Boson Sampling model. Taking advantage of this connection, we give quantum-inspired proofs of many existing as well as new remarkable permanent identities. Most notably, we give a quantum-inspired proof of the MacMahon master theorem as well as proofs for new generalizations of this theorem. Previous proofs of this theorem used completely different ideas. Beyond their purely combinatorial applications, our results demonstrate the classical hardness of exact and approximate sampling of linear optical quantum computations with input cat states.

Academic performance, family support, interest and career decision among undergraduate students in Nigeria
Authors: Salisu Yunusa  , Ibrahim Abdulwahab , Mainagge Ibrahim Sani , Haruna Sani
Published: December 2022

Studies in the five recent years have shown that more than half of Nigerian undergraduate students changed their study programs and career decisions. Notwithstanding this fact, lack of research addresses factors that affect the Nigerian undergraduate students made such a decision. Therefore, the present study aims to explore the influence of academic performance, family support, and interest on career decision of undergraduate students in Jigawa state Nigeria. A set of questionnaires was utilized as an instrument to collect the data from a total of 373 Nigerian undergraduate students. Drawing on correlational study using structural equation modelling approach, this study revealed that academic reason (t=3.452; β=0.191; P=0.001) and family support (t=4.554; β=0.234; P=0.000) have statistically significant correlation with career decision making of the students. On the contrary, interest was empirically proven to not have a significant relationship with the career decision making (t=0.899; β=-.056; P=0.369). Thus, it is concluded that academic reason and family support play more crucial role in determining the career decision of undergraduate students in Nigeria than their interest abilities. This study provides implication for Nigerian government and non-government organizations to massively educate parents and families so that they can encourage their children’s career paths and support their career choices.
Interactive feedback model based on consensus problem of group waste classification decision based on social network
Authors: Gao Mengchen , Qiao Jiamei , Yang Lifeng , Liu Bin , Wu Shaotong , Cheng Kun
Published: December 2022

Waste sorting and recycling is an important part of achieving
sustainable development, relying on the good environmental awareness of
community residents. Residents’ environmental awareness determines the
preference choice of garbage classification scheme, and the ambiguous
preference of the group directly affects the consensus effect of the
scheme. Social network analysis can effectively solve the
decision-making consensus problem of community group garbage
classification scheme, which makes the research on the large-group
decision-making (LGDM) consensus problem for social network has
important practical significance. The research proposes an interactive
consensus model based on social network consensus: Firstly, according to
the social relationship between decision makers, the social network
formed by decision makers is clustered using methods. Second, the
preference of the categorical subgroup is represented based on the
probability distribution of hesitant fuzzy elements. Then calculate the
consensus level. Finally, the unreasonable decision-making level is
improved through the interactive feedback mechanism, and the
decision-making consensus of the garbage classification scheme is
gradually reached. Considering that the choice of garbage classification
scheme is actually a large group decision-making problem, the advantages
and reliability of social network consensus analysis in selecting
garbage classification schemes are verified through the case analysis of
four types of garbage classification scheme selection.
Extra-corporeal detoxification in insects.
Authors: Yang Jing , Wang Yiwen , Moussian Bernard
Published: December 2022

Upon uptake of toxins, insects launch a detoxification program. This
program is deployed in multiple organs and cells to raise their
tolerance against the toxin. The molecular mechanisms of this program
inside the insect body have been studied and understood in detail. Here,
we report on a yet unexplored extra-corporeal detoxification of
insecticides in Drosophila melanogaster. Wild-type D. melanogaster
incubated with DDT, a contact insecticide, in a closed environment die
as expected. However, incubation of a second cohort in the same
environment after removal of the dead flies was not lethal. Consistent
to the kin selection theory, the effect is significantly lower if the
flies of the two cohorts are unrelated. Incubation assays with
Chlorpyrifos, another contact insecticide, yielded identical results,
while incubation assays with Chlorantraniliprole, again a contact
insecticide, was toxic for the second cohort of flies. A cohort of flies
incubated in a DDT environment after an initial incubation of a honeybee
survived treatment. Together, our data suggest that insects including
Apis mellifera and D. melanogaster have the capacity to modify their
proximate environment. Consequently, in their ecological niche,
following individuals might be saved from intoxication thereby
facilitating colonisation of an attractive site.
‘metanetwork’: a R package dedicated to handling and representing trophic metanetworks
Authors: Ohlmann Marc , Garnier Jimmy , Vuillon Laurent
Published: December 2022

Trophic networks describe interactions between species at a given
location and time. Due to environmental changes, anthropogenic
perturbations or sampling effects, trophic networks may vary in space
and time. The collection of network time series or networks in different
sites thus constitutes a metanetwork. A crucial step toward the
understanding of those metanetworks is to build appropriate tools to
handle and represent them. We present here the R package metanetwork,
which will ease the exploration and the analysis of trophic metanetwork
datasets that are increasingly available. Our main methodological
advance consists in suitable layout algorithm for trophic networks,
which is based on trophic levels and dimension reduction of a graph
diffusion kernel. In particular, it highlights relevant features of
trophic networks (trophic levels, energetic channels). In addition, we
developed graphical tools to handle, compare and aggregate those
networks. Static and dynamic visualisation functions have been developed
to represent large networks. We apply our package workflow to several
trophic network data sets.
The distribution characteristics and regulations of adaptive designs from 2008 to 2020: an overview of EMA approvals
Authors: Huang Xiaowei , Ma Jianbin , Lu Zhenzhen , Huang Lihong
Published: December 2022

Objective: To identify and characterize all European Medicines Agency
(EMA) approvals that made use of adaptive designs in clinical trials and
to evaluate the conditions where adaptive designs were required.
Methods: We gathered relevant files derived from the EMA database based
on a list of the keywords related to adaptive designs between 2008 and
2020. We collected the trial characteristics from approvals and Fisher
exact test was used to compare the characteristics. Results: We found 41
approvals derived from 91 original EMA files contained adaptive designs.
Group sequential was the most popular adaptive design (17/41). Most of
the approvals (32/41) were pivotal trials and were not under accelerated
assessment (38/41). Among 32 confirmatory trials planned with adaptive
designs, the proportion of AM status showed a statistically significant
increase (P < 0.0001) from 0% in 2008–2012 to 90.48% in
2017–2020. The percentage of antitumor drugs in approved drugs with
ongoing clinical trials was 82.35%, compared to 20.83% with completed
trials (P=0.0001). The proportion of companies that required
post-authorization safety or efficacy studies or that were
granted CMA for drugs that were approved but still had ongoing clinical
trials significantly differed from the other group (P = 0.0230).
Conclusion: An increasing trend was observed in the number of EMA
approvals related to adaptive designs from 2008 to 2020. Extra
regulations will be necessary for ongoing trials due to unknown,
uncertain circumstances raised from adaptive design, such as addtitonal
monitoring, conditional marketing authorization.

Local politicians and the governance of social services
Authors: Falguera Xavier Casademont , Rey Mercè Ginesta , Alfonso Maite Boldú
Published: December 2022

This paper studies, from the point of view of local politicians, the
governance of social services in different municipalities and County
Councils in Catalonia. The political dimension of local social services
has rarely been studied and this article contributes to the
understanding of which actors and what kind of relations are developed
during the policy process. From a qualitative approach, the study is
based on 17 in-depth interviews with local politicians, as well as two
focus groups with managers and front-line social workers. The results
reveal that local politicians do not have a long-term and strategic
perspective, and that they feel more comfortable dealing with management
rather than politics. At the local level, social services tend to be a
depoliticized issue. Even though local politicians have a positive
attitude to talk and work with all the actors, they fail to achieve
regular coordination and engagement. Key Practitioner Message

Deep Residual Systolic Network (DRSN) for Massive MIMO Channel Estimation by Joint Training Strategies of Mixed-SNR and Mixed–Scenarios
Authors: Qingfeng Jing , Sun Meng , Weizhi Zhong
Published: December 2022

The fifth-generation communication (5G) requires a highly
accurate estimation of the Channel State Information (CSI) to take
advantage of the massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system.
However, traditional channel estimation methods do not always yield
reliable estimates. The methodology of this paper consists of Deep
Residual Shrinkage Network (DRSN) neural network-based method that is
used to solve this problem. Thus, the channel estimation approach, based
on DRSN with its learning ability of noise-containing data, is first
introduced. Then, the DRSN is used to train the noise reduction process
based on the results of the LS channel estimation while applying the
pilot frequency subcarriers, where the initially estimated subcarrier
channel matrix is considered as a three-dimensional tensor of the DRSN
input. Afterward, a mixed-SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) training data
strategy is proposed based on the learning ability of DRSN under
different SNRs. Moreover, a joint mixed scenario training strategy is
carried out to test the multi scenarios robustness of DRSN. As for the
findings, the numerical results indicate that the DRSN method
outperforms the Spatial-Frequency-temporal Convolutional Neural Networks
(SF-CNN) with similar computational complexity and achieves better
advantages in the full SNR range than the Minimum Mean Squared Error
(MMSE) estimator with a limited dataset. Moreover, the DRSN approach
shows robustness in different propagation environments.
Breast cancer resistance protein polymorphism ABCG2 c.421C>A (rs2231142) moderates the effect of valproate on lamotrigine trough concentrations in adults with epilepsy
Authors: Sporiš Ivana Šušak , Božina Nada , Domjanović Iva Klarica , Sporiš Davor , Bašić Silvio , Marković Ivana , Lovrić Mila , Ganoci Lana , Trkulja Vladimir
Published: December 2022

To test the hypothesis that the effect of valproate on dose-adjusted
lamotrigine troughs was moderated by the ABCG2 c.421C>A
(rs2231142) polymorphism, we conducted two studies in adults with
epilepsy. Since Study 2 replicated the findings of Study 1, we analysed
combined data [total N=471; 140 exposed to valproate (treated), 331
not exposed (controls)]. With adjustment for cotreatments and
comorbidities, age, sex, body weight and polymorphisms (and linked
polymorphisms) suggested to affect exposure to lamotrigine (UGT1A4*3
c.142T>G, rs2011425; UGT2B7 -161C>T,
rs7668258; ABCB1 1236C>T, rs1128503) (by entropy
balancing), primary analysis indicated: in variant carriers, geometric
means ratio (GMR) [treated (n=21) vs. controls (n=72)] was around
60% higher than in wild-type subjects [treated (n=119) vs. controls
(n=259)] – ratio of GMRs 1.61 (95%CI 1.23-2.11) and 1.63 (95%CrI
1.26-2.10), in the frequentist and Bayesian analysis, respectively.
Similar differences in valproate effects between ABCG2
c.421C>A variant carriers and wild-type subjects were found
in secondary analysis (adjustment by exact matching) when exposure to
valproate was defined as valproate troughs up to 364 mol/L or ≥364
mol/L (vs. no exposure to valproate). Susceptibility of the estimates
to (hypothetical) unmeasured confounding was low. Data suggests that
polymorphism rs2231142 moderates the effect of valproate on exposure to
lamotrigine.

Authors: Ding Kui , Xu Qinzeng , Zhao Liyuan , Li Yixuan , Li Zhong , Shi Wenge , Zeng Qianhui , Wang Xianyan , Zhang Xuelei
Published: December 2022

The common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) is widely distributed worldwide
and well adapted to various habitats in temperate, subtropical, and
tropical seas. Animal genomes store clues about their pasts, and can
reveal the genes underlying their evolutionary success. Here, we report
the first high-quality chromosome-level genome of D. delphis. The
assembled genome size was 2.56 Gb with a contig N50 of 63.85 Mb and a
scaffold N50 of 108.93 Mb. Approximately 93.81% of contigs were
anchored onto 22 chromosomes. Phylogenetically, D. delphis was located
close to Tursiops truncatus and T. aduncus, and exhibited high synteny
with T. truncatus. The genome of D. delphis exhibited 428 expanded and
1,885 contracted gene families, and 120 genes were identified as
positively selected. The expansion of the HSP70 gene family indicated
that D. delphis has a powerful system for buffering stress, which might
be associated with its broad adaptability, longevity, and detoxification
capacity. The expanded IFN-α and IFN-ω gene families, as well as the
positively selected genes encoding tripartite motif-containing protein
25, peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1, and p38 MAP
kinase, were all involved in pathways for antiviral, anti-inflammatory,
and antineoplastic mechanisms in D. delphis. The genome data also
revealed dramatic fluctuations in the effective population size of D.
delphis during the Pleistocene. Overall, the high-quality genome
assembly and annotation represent significant molecular resources for
ecological and evolutionary studies of Delphinus and help support their
sustainable treatment and conservation.

associations between level of supplemental oxygen and likelihood of
respiratory symptoms and acute care usage in the outpatient setting.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of subjects with BPD on
supplemental oxygen (O ) was performed. Subjects were
recruited from outpatient clinics at Johns Hopkins University and the
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia between 2008 and 2021. Data were
obtained by chart review and caregiver questionnaires. Results:
Children with BPD receiving > 1 liter of O
were more likely to have severe BPD, pulmonary
hypertension and be older at initial hospital discharge. Children
discharged on higher levels of supplemental O were
slower to wean to room air compared to lower O groups
(p<0.001). Additionally, weaning off supplemental O
in the outpatient setting was delayed in children with
gastrostomy tubes and those prescribed inhaled corticosteroids, on
public insurance or with lower estimated household incomes. Level of
supplemental O at discharge did not influence
outpatient acute care usage or respiratory symptoms.
Conclusion: BPD severity and level of supplemental oxygen use
at discharge did not correlate with subsequent acute care usage or
respiratory symptoms in children with BPD. Weaning of O
however was significantly associated with
socioeconomic status and respiratory medication use, contributing to the
variability in O weaning in the outpatient setting.

Em decorrência do rápido processo de mudanças em todos os âmbitos que o ser humano está inserido, cada vez mais se tem buscado aperfeiçoamento nos meios de ensino, no qual, o aluno deixa de ser mero ouvinte e entra em cena aplicando a teoria na prática. Dessa maneira, o Programa de Educação Tutorial (PET) surge como uma ferramenta que utiliza a tríade ensino, pesquisa e extensão como uma forma de aproximar a universidade da sociedade através da realização de suas ações. O PET Medicina Veterinária/Agricultura Familiar da Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul foi criado no ano de 2010, na mesma época da implantação do curso de medicina veterinária na instituição. Em virtude da grande quantidade de pequenas propriedades da bovinocultura leiteira se fez necessária uma forma de assistência às propriedades levando informações, conhecimentos técnicos e práticos que contribuíssem na melhoria na qualidade do leite produzido. O objetivo deste relato é abordar o papel das atividades extensionistas desenvolvidas na formação profissional e pessoal dos egressos do programa. Foram analisados os depoimentos de 20 discentes e dois ex-tutores, além de informações em relatórios, planejamentos, planos de ações das mais diversas atividades desenvolvidas pelo programa durante o mesmo período, além de dados do currículo lattes de cada egresso. Os relatos destacam de forma diferencial a importância em participar do programa, com destaque nas atividades de extensão e de cunho social. Os egressos usufruíram da possibilidade de uma formação com um diferencial, que os tornou mais capacitados para exercer a profissão, com responsabilidade e ética, além de contribuir para o desenvolvimento da sociedade e na permanência dos agricultores no campo.

Relata-se neste artigo o acompanhamento do monitoramento do consumo da água potável em alguns prédios públicos de caráter administrativo do estado de Pernambuco, evidenciando-se boas práticas e buscando-se evitar problemas relativos à conservação de água potável. O projeto de extensão foi iniciado em março de 2018 pelo grupo de pesquisa e extensão em recursos hídricos da Universidade de Pernambuco – AquaPOLI – em parceria com a Secretaria de Administração – tendo como principal finalidade a conservação de água potável nos prédios públicos administrativos. O projeto contou com a cooperação dos gestores de água capacitados de cada prédio. Em reuniões com esses gestores, o Grupo AquaPOLI debateu problemas e suas soluções, e os incentivou a utilizarem a Planilha de Monitoramento do Consumo de Água (PMCA) como ferramenta de controle do consumo de água potável.  Criteriosamente escolhidos, analisaram-se nove prédios públicos, aos quais foram feitas visitas a fim de identificar suas características físicas, a atuação de seu gestor de água e a verificação do consumo de água potável. Dessa forma, verificaram-se algumas dificuldades no monitoramento do consumo da água por parte dos gestores, mas, também, com o passar do tempo, uma melhor atuação dos gestores, que se capacitaram a tomar medidas necessárias diante de alguma anomalia no consumo de água, evitando-se, com a utilização eficiente da PMCA, o desperdício de pelo menos 50 m³/mês de água potável em um único prédio. Ao lado de tudo isso, houve também a realização de campanhas educativas a fim de minimizar o consumo de água no prédio.

O Programa de Extensão apresentado neste trabalho engloba diversas atividades de extensão ligadas a contribuições socioambientais através do reaproveitamento de óleos e gorduras usados em frituras. O descarte incorreto do óleo nas pias provoca entupimento das tubulações das redes de esgoto e sérios danos ao meio ambiente. Portanto, o objetivo desse programa é promover ampla divulgação sobre o descarte correto do óleo de cozinha usado por meio de campanhas de conscientização em escolas de ensino fundamental e em estabelecimentos comerciais do ramo alimentício de Sete Lagoas-MG a fim de minimizar o impacto ambiental de práticas inadequadas. Coletores de óleo usado foram alocados em três escolas por campanha durante um mês e os estudantes foram incentivados a trazer o óleo usado em casa. A escola que arrecadou o maior volume de cada campanha ganhou uma visita à Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei (UFSJ) e os estudantes selecionados pela direção da escola tiveram a oportunidade de aprender sobre algumas propriedades físico-químicas dos óleos em laboratório; visualizar a reação de saponificação e de participar de um minicurso de balas de goma naturais. Além do estreitamento da relação Universidade e Escola, esta ação culminou na coleta de 772 litros de óleo de cozinha usado que foram destinados para fabricação de biodiesel e para o estudo de formulações de sabão líquido visando de baixa alcalinidade para ser utilizado em laboratórios e serviços de limpeza da Universidade. Com relação à conscientização de funcionários e proprietários de estabelecimentos comerciais, foram visitados os localizados na região central da cidade para a distribuição de panfletos informativos sobre Boas Práticas de Fabricação na fritura de alimentos e descarte correto de óleo usado. Assim, as atividades do Programa de Extensão possibilitaram uma maior troca de conhecimentos e experiências entre a universidade, as escolas, os estabelecimentos comerciais e a comunidade local. As coletas de óleo de cozinha usado promovida pelas campanhas contribuíram para redução do volume de óleo descartado de forma inadequada, minimizando o impacto ambiental, e ainda geraram uma oportunidade de economia e/ou renda para os participantes dos minicursos de sabão. Além disso, estas ações do programa de extensão universitária contribuíram para a formação dos discentes que protagonizaram as atividades, complementando o conhecimento técnico, a sua formação cidadã, a conscientização em relação à realidade do país e o aprimoramento de suas relações interpessoais.

Idosos possuem seus direitos garantidos em Constituição, principalmente no que se refere ao cuidado integral para que possam vivenciar um envelhecimento ativo e saudável. Portanto, objetivou-se discutir sobre as atividades de promoção de saúde realizadas junto a idosos por meio da facilitação de oficinas terapêuticas expressivas por estudantes do curso de Psicologia de uma universidade pública do norte do Paraná, pautando-se nos pressupostos de grupo operativo. Trata-se de um relato de experiência extensionista em um serviço de convivência e fortalecimento de vínculos. Participaram das oficinas de três a onze idosos por encontro, tendo ocorrido um total de doze encontros com rodas de conversas mediadas pela utilização de imagens - majoritariamente -, sons e movimentos. Foram trabalhados temas como história de vida, autoimagem, mudanças, adoecimento, autoconhecimento, autocuidado e redes de apoio. Para registrar os dados da intervenção foi utilizado o diário de campo como instrumento. Os resultados foram sistematizados e analisados a fim de discutir as aproximações entre lógica assistencial, ações em saúde e práticas psicológicas com viés terapêutico, apontando à importância da inserção de uma ação alinhada com a demanda e a comunicação de qualidade com o serviço. Essa construção coletiva buscou o envolvimento ativo dos participantes a partir de propostas que incentivaram a autonomia do indivíduo, a cooperação, a reflexão e o pensar criativo. Ademais, diante da alta demanda por um espaço de fala, percebeu-se que, apesar dos obstáculos ao desenvolvimento do grupo, a convivência grupal possibilitou vinculação, empatia e acolhimento entre os participantes, contando com a colaboração dos recursos na expressão de sentimentos, desejos e pensamentos. A partir disso, abordou-se a experiência do envelhecer, o que possibilitou reverberações afetivas, fortalecimento de vínculos interpessoais e aprendizagem. Assim, as oficinas terapêuticas funcionaram como estratégias promotoras de saúde em um espaço socioassistencial que preconiza o cuidado integralizado à terceira idade.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar a experiência e resultados do Projeto de Extensão “Mãos que Salvam”, realizado com escolares do nível fundamental e médio da cidade de Governador Valadares, MG. É apresentada a forma como foram planejadas e desenvolvidas as oficinas regulares que contemplaram os temas: noções básicas de primeiros socorros, desmaios, sangramentos, queimaduras e liberação de vias aéreas, além de um breve relato sobre os principais resultados e dificuldades encontradas no desenvolvimento das atividades. O desempenho dos escolares quanto ao conhecimento do conteúdo foi avaliado por 5 questões antes e após as oficinas. Os alunos de cada turma foram classificados conforme o percentual de acertos (insuficiente, 60%, e satisfatório 60% de acertos). O teste Qui-Quadrado foi aplicado para comparar o desempenho dos alunos antes e após as oficinas e considerado significativo o p 0,05. Complementarmente, os extensionistas participaram de duas mostras de profissões com o ensino de condutas em casos de parada cardiorrespiratória e reanimação cardiopulmonar. Na escola participante, no primeiro semestre de 2019, 9 turmas (267 alunos) realizaram as oficinas. Na análise geral houve melhora no percentual de desempenho satisfatório nos questionários (53,18 vs. 95,07%, p0,001) após as oficinas. A melhora ocorreu em todas as turmas do ensino fundamental, mas não na turma de ensino médio. Nas mostras de profissões aproximadamente 300 alunos foram atendidos. Os dados observados indicam que as oficinas realizadas desenvolveram habilidades e capacidade de reconhecimento de situações de urgência, particularmente, nos alunos do ensino fundamental indicando que ações de extensão no ambiente escolar podem contribuir para a disseminação do conhecimento específico para além das salas de aulas.
