Investigating Written Reflection and Its Relation to Language Teaching Strategy Change: A Self-study
Authors: Liu Xiaotian
Published: January 2024

Reflection has received wide encouragement and adoption in the teacher education, and the teachers engaging in reflection are believed to be able to gain new insights into their teaching. As one of the prominent ways of reflection, written reflection is widely promoted in the teacher education of English Language Teaching. However, the relationship between reflection and improved teaching is still largely unclear and under-researched. This study focuses on teacher's written reflection and its relation to teaching practice change. It adopts a self-study lens to examine the Chinese researcher-participant's written reflections produced in the two microteaching sessions for an English teaching practicum course at a Canadian university, to investigate the role of written reflections in the researcher-participant's self-perceived teaching strategy change across the two microteaching sessions. The study identifies the researcher-participant's teaching strategy change: from teacher-centered method to student-centered method. It also finds that written reflection increases the researcher-participant's awareness of addressing the teaching issues and helps identify the core reason behind these issues, which motivates the researcher-participant to enact the teaching change and also provides the direction for the teaching change. This study provides practical implications for the encouragement of student-centered method in the teacher education of English language teaching.

The regional autonomy realized in the allocation of village funds has not been able to reduce the existing inequality in Indonesia, especially if it concerns the disadvantaged areas. This study examines the impact of village funds on the economic condition of the community; quality of human resources; and local financial capacity for three years the enactment of village funds for disadvantaged areas. The results show that the village funds have no impact on the economic condition of the community, quality of human resources, and regional financial capacity in disadvantages areas. This can happen if the community empowerment is still weak. As long as the village funds are in place, the focus of the village is still on improving infrastructure development, not on community empowerment, if done, will have an impact on increasing the economic level of the community. This condition occurs even though in the mandate of legislation has been mentioned that the focus of village funds is not only on infrastructure development but also community empowerment. Balancing the utilization of village funds by the villages themselves need to be enforced, because the development of infrastructure without empowerment will have an impact on the higher inequality in the village itself.

ELASTISITAS PENDAPATAN ASLI DAERAH (PAD) DI INDONESIA PADA ERA OTONOMI DAERAH
Authors: Christianingrum Ratna , Aida Ade Nurul
Published: January 2024

PAD is revenue obtained by the region which is collected based on regional regulations in accordance with statutory regulations.The elasticity of PAD to GRDP is one of the indicators used to identify fiscal conditions in the regions. The elasticity describes the sensitivity of PAD to GRDP. This study will evaluate the structure of PAD by looking at the elasticity of PAD against GRDP in Indonesia, especially in the regional autonomy era. This research shows that every 1 percent of a regional economic growth, there is 1.33 percent growth of PAD. Most provinces in Indonesia have shown that the PAD obtained is elastic to regional economic growth. Thisindicates that local governments already have the ability to explore potential revenues in their regions. However, out of 34 provinces in Indonesia, there are still 5 provinces whose PAD is inelastic to regional economic growth. The five provinces are North Sumatra, Riau, Bengkulu, Central Sulawesi, and South Sulawesi. The regional governments of the five provinces need to improve their capabilities in exploring potential regional revenues.

Zygomycosis of the Oral Cavity in a Main Referral Centre in Malaysia: A Case Series (1967-2021)
Authors: Mohamad Zafirah Hani , Jalil Ajura Abdul
Published: January 2024

Zygomycosis is a rare opportunistic fungal infection caused by fungi in the phylum Mucoromycota, subphylum Mucoromycotina and order Mucorales. Immunocompromised patients may harbour the disease by inhalation of the spores from the environment into the paranasal sinuses. Rhino-orbital-cerebral is the most common form which extends into the oral cavity, especially to the palate. We present twelve cases of zygomycosis diagnosed in the Stomatology Unit, Institute for Medical Research (IMR), Malaysia. Most of the patients are immunocompromised and presented as the rhino-orbital-cerebral form. Routine haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were used for all cases while selected cases required additional special staining. The characteristic histological features of broad, non-septate, branched, amphophilic fungal hyphae are seen. We aim to report this rare occurrence to contribute to the literature and raise awareness about this condition among clinicians. To date, this is the first compilation of oral zygomycosis cases known to be reported in Malaysia.

Hablar de “Trabajo Inteligente Productivo” (en adelante TIP) puede parecer un asunto relativamente fácil de comprender por parte de cualquiera. Simplemente se dirá, en primera instancia, que es el trabajo que se caracteriza por ser inteligente y productivo. Pero entender esto en toda su dimensión y, sobre todo, llevarlo a la práctica, es mucho más complejo y desafiante de lo que puede imaginarse. Escribir sobre el trabajo es aparentemente simple, pero a la vez demanda una desafiante comprensión. Es similar al reto que significa describir, al mismo tiempo, el cuerpo físico y la mente humana. Por ello, con este escrito, a manera de ensayo, pretendo dar un aporte a una reflexión hoy extendida sobre el trabajo en el siglo XXI en los diversos, y cada vez más demandantes, contextos organizacionales...
Las ciencias sociales en y sobre Colombia durante el siglo XXI
Authors: Ruiz Patiño Jorge Humberto
Published: January 2024

En el capítulo se presenta un panorama de las tendencias en las ciencias sociales en Colombia respecto a las preguntas, problemas, temas y enfoques teóricos y epistemológicos que han predominado durante las primeras dos décadas del siglo xxi. La reflexión se basa en un enfoque metodológico que combina el análisis cua-litativo del análisis documental con el análisis cuantitativo de frecuencias. Como fuentes de información se han utilizado documentos secundarios que contienen discusiones sobre la configuración de las ciencias sociales en Colombia, y bases de datos y repositorios en los que se alojan investigaciones publicadas en el campo de las ciencias sociales en los últimos veinte años.Se concluye que el campo de las ciencias sociales en Colombia está caracterizado por una dispersión temática que impide la consolidación de subcampos académi-cos en cada tema y la construcción de comunidades académicas de mayor alcance que articulen aquellos y conduzcan, de este modo, hacia diálogos académicos más consistentes.
El contagio y la violencia en las sociedades contemporáneas: política, literatura y religión
Authors: Ballen Rodriguez Juan Sebastián
Published: January 2024

Pensar en la violencia es el motivo filosófico que se expresa en las investigaciones que se condensan en este libro. La violencia, como la instauración del mal en la historia, es la expresión irresoluble de la inercia y el caos que atraviesa a las sociedades, particularmente a las actuales. ¿Desde cuál horizonte filosófico buscamos enmarcar el presente análisis a la violencia? No es sencillo determinar una sola mirada al problema, pues desde el filósofo inglés -Thomas Hobbes hasta el pensador de Martinica Franz Fanón hicieron referencia al poder político y de segregación social que ejerce la violencia. En aras de la delimitación acudiremos a la teoría mimética propuesta por el pensador francés René Girard. (1923-2005). Consideramos que esta apuesta filosófica permite pensar la violencia en los términos dinámicos de la diferencia y la mismidad. La teoría mimética explica el origen de la violencia en relación directa con el deseo humano de otro (alteridad) que busca ser imitado hasta su apropiación ontológica. Es decir, el deseo imita otro modo de desear y esto explica la reacción en cadena de una apropiación violenta que va desde los gestos, las maneras de ser, los objetos, las personas, etc. La diferencia es entonces uno de los elementos que integran el análisis de la violencia desde el deseo mimético, ya que es una forma percibir que la vida humana en términos sociales existe debido a la existencia del otro, que es referente de la imitación y al mismo tiempo de la rivalidad. En este orden de ideas en el estudio de la violencia que se propone en esta investigación se entrelazan los conceptos de diferencia, imitación, alteridad y rivalidad.

The usefulness of comprehensive income in predicting future performance: Evidence from the developing market
Authors: Abu Rumman Ghaleb , AlKhalialeh Mahmoud , Zaidan Hala , Abdeldayem Batool , Mowafi Omar
Published: January 2024

Based on the original study of Dhaliwal et al. (1999), this study examines empirically the usefulness of comprehensive income (CI) in predicting firms’ future performance comparing to net income (NI), using Jordanian firms listed in the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during the period 2010–2018. Two measures of company’ performance are employed, leading NI and cash flow from operation (CFO). We hypothesize that NI is more useful than CI in predicting future earnings and firm future CFO. Similarly, the empirical findings by Biddle and Choi (2006) also indicate that both measures NI and CI are significantly and positively associated with firm’s future performance measured by leading NI and CFO. However, the results show that NI is superior to CI in predicting future earnings and firm future CFO. These results hold for the alternative performance measures used in the analysis. Our findings also show a larger standard deviation for CI than NI indicating higher volatility of CI than NI. The superiority of NI is likely to be due the higher volatility of CI and the transitory nature of other comprehensive income (OCI) components included in CI but not included in NI. This study adds to the literature by examining the value relevance of NI and CI in an emerging market.

The Status and Role of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) in the Nepalese Livelihood
Authors: chhetri vivek thapa , Shrestha Susmita , Thapa Sapana , Timilsina Sachin
Published: January 2024

Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs), a subcomponent of Non-Timber
Forest Products (NTFPs), are one of the important sources which supply
the rural population with cash income. Nepal’s unique topography and
varying climates have resulted in floral species count of 11,971,
accounting for 3.2% of the world’s total flora. Department of Plant
Resources (DPR) reported an increase in medicinal plant species from 700
to 819, with 285 endemic plant species from 43 families and 238 plant
species chemically tested for medicinal significance. MAPs can be found
at elevations ranging from 100 to 5500 m. The highest MAPs species
richness was reported in the middle gradient. Despite having low plant
diversity, the commercial values of the NTFPs found in Nepal’s mountains
are the highest. The government of Nepal has prioritized 30 different
MAP species for economic development, 12 species for cultivation and
research, and imposed restrictions on the export of 12 species.
Mid-Western and Far-Western development regions of Nepal account for
more than 85% of total herbs collection in Nepal. About 80% of the
population in Nepal depends upon MAPs for their primary health care
needs. Around 100 Nepalese NTFPs are traded, but only 20 species account

ranked 42nd on the list, with $7.4 million in MAP exports, and 62nd on
the list, with $3.3 million in essential oil exports. The overall
contribution of NTFPs to national GDP was estimated to be 5%. In order
to ensure food safety, reducing poverty, and improving livelihood, the
promotion and domestication of NTFPs, proper harvesting mechanisms, and
improved processing techniques are crucial.

Published: January 2024

This paper deals with a class of backward stochastic differential
equations driven by both standard and fractional Brownian motions with
time deplayed generators. In this type of equation, a generator at time
$t$ can depend on the values of a solution in the past, weighted with
a time delay function, for instance, of the moving average type. We
establish an existence and uniqueness result of solutions for a
sufficiently small time horizon or for a sufficiently small Lipschitz
constant of a generator.
Construction Method of Knowledge Graph Based on Engineering Education

Published: January 2024

With the advent of the era of big data, the identification of ways to
extract useful knowledge from massive amounts of data has become the key
to the development of methods and application research analysis of
knowledge graphs. Because the knowledge graph is a type of networked
knowledge base with strong expressive ability. Applied in the field of
engineering education, it can help students quickly find the learning
focus and improve learning efficiency. Therefore, this study proposes
the combination of the bidirectional long short-term memory–conditional
random fields (BILSTM–CRF) model with the BERT model to build a
knowledge graph in the field of engineering education. Given that BILSTM
can capture an increased amount of contextual information from the
sentence and solve the problem of gradient disappearance during
training, the CRF layer can ensure the effectiveness of the final
prediction result. The BERT model can fully describe character-level,
word-level, sentence-level, and even inter-sentence relationship
characteristics. It is considerably suitable for the data in the field
of engineering education evaluated in this study. Since the extracted
data will always be missing data, this study proposes to use the
knowledge reasoning model TransE to supplement and improve the extracted
knowledge map data to realize the continuous update of the knowledge
map.
Increased adverse skin reactions among healthcare workers during COVID-19 outbreak
Authors: Akbulut Tugba Ozkok , Atci Tugba , Caf Nazli , Suslu Hulya
Published: January 2024

Background: The personal protective equipment (PPE) and frequent hand
hygiene procedures needed during the COVID-19 outbreak impair skin
integrity in healthcare workers (HCWs). We aimed to evaluate the
prevalence and risk factors of adverse skin reactions related to
infection-prevention measures among HCWs. Methods: A questionnaire
survey was administered to evaluate the duration of PPE, disinfectant,
and moisturizing agent use, as well as handwashing frequency among our
hospital’s HCWs. Results: The questionnaire was completed by 702 HCWs
with a mean age of 34.8±9.8 years. Adverse skin reactions were reported
by 79.5% of our participants. Hands (63.5%) and face (48.9%) were the
most commonly affected areas. Female sex, being a doctor/nurse, having a
history of underlying chronic dermatoses, and PPE usage more than six
hours per day were increased the risk of adverse skin reactions.
Handwashing more than 10 times/day and moisturizing less than 5
times/day were also related to increased adverse skin reactions. In
HCWs, wearing more than one mask was associated with pressure-induced
skin changes on the face and triggering herpes labialis. Conclusion:
Hand hygiene-associated dermatitis is triggered by frequent handwashing
and less moisturizing among HCWs. Surgical masks may also be just as
responsible as N95 masks for causing facial skin damage.
Assessing forestation potential in Semi-arid lands: Queensland as a case study
Authors: Rohatyn Shani , Rotenberg Eyal , Yakir Dan , Carmel Yohay
Published: January 2024

Forestation actions are a major tool for both climate-change mitigation
and biodiversity conservation, which are often considered independently.
In either case, little attention is given to the potential of the vast
drylands, and the albedo warming effect associated with such forestation
efforts. We propose an approach to identify suitable land for
forestation and quantify its ‘net equivalent carbon stock change’ over
80 years of forests lifetime (Ceq-80), accounting for both carbon
sequestration and albedo changes. Applying it over Queensland as a test
case shows that albedo effects reduce the carbon sequestration cooling
effects by >50%, with residual Ceq-80 of 0.72 Gt,
equivalent to 15% of the state’s projected carbon emissions for the
same time. Our methodology extends restoration efforts by identifying
new land for forestation and demonstrates the importance of quantifying
the climatic value of forestation in drylands, which must also be
considered in biodiversity conservation efforts.
Benthic eDNA metabarcoding provides accurate assessments of impact from oil extraction, and ecological insights
Authors: Lanzén Anders , Hestetun Jon , Bagi Andrea , Dahlgren Thomas
Published: January 2024

Apart from its contribution to climate change, offshore oil and gas
extraction is also a potential threat to the diversity and function of
marine ecosystems. Routine monitoring of the environmental status of
affected areas is therefore critical for proper management. While
current morphology-based monitoring is relatively time-consuming, costly
and prone to identification bias, environmental DNA metabarcoding offers
an attractive alternative, including for impacts of oil drilling,
extraction or spills. However, to be ready for routine monitoring, its
performance needs to be demonstrated, through agreement with assessments
based on physicochemical measurements and current bioindicators. To this
end, we applied metabarcoding to sequence the metazoan and total
eukaryotic benthic components. We targeted an range of sites, from high
to low impacts, located near active production platforms and reference
sites, in the North and Barents Seas. Alpha diversity and community
structure of both datasets correlated strongly with a physicochemical
pressure index (PI), based on total hydrocarbons, PAH16, Ba and Cu. The
macroinvertebrate-based Norwegian Sensitivity Index (NSI) based on the
COI metabarcoding data also agreed well with morpho-taxonomy based
values, and with PI. Further, we identified a set of bioindicator taxa
from both metabarcoding datasets, to develop novel biotic indices and
demonstrate their predictive performance using cross-validation.
Finally, we compared co-occurrence networks from impacted v less
disturbed sites, to improve the understanding of the ecological
consequences of impacts. Our study demonstrates that metabarcoding is
comparable to the morpho-taxonomic approach in terms of accuracy, and
could eventually be used to replace it, given further efforts.
Common multiple primary cancers associated with breast and gynecologic cancers: A review
Authors: Ge Shuwen , Ma Xiao-xin
Published: January 2024

The mammary glands are closely related to the female reproductive
system. Due to various factors including increased survival of patients
with breast cancer (BC), there is an increased probability of developing
additional primary gynecologic cancers such as ovarian cancer (OC),
endometrial cancer (EC), and cervical cancer (CC). Multiple primary
cancers (MPCs) refer to two or more different primary malignancies
occurring in the same or different organs in the same patient. This
review discusses the common types of BC-associated MPCs, namely, BC
associated with OC, EC, or CC, as well as risk factors, clinical
classifications, pathology, treatment, and prognosis.

Behavioural response in an asilid fly: Influence of ecological and environmental factors on spatial density dependence
Authors: Castelo Marcela , Crespo Jose
Published: January 2024

Behavioural response of a parasitoid shows the effect on host parasitism
patterns at a given host distribution resulting in an increase or
decrease of parasitism intensity according to local host densities. This
relationship could be proportional, positive, or negative, as a
consequence of foraging of parasitoids searching for hosts. Mallophora
ruficauda is a fly parasitoid of Cyclocephala signaticollis scarab
beetle larvae and a predator of honeybees. Females search and place
egg-clusters overground in open grasslands near beehives. Larvae
actively searching for host underground following chemical cues arising
from the host itself. The parasitism pattern is a result of this complex
host-searching strategy which is shared between both stages of the fly.
In this work we carried out a study at four spatial scales in apiaries
located in the Pampas region of Argentina. We found that parasitism is
inverse density-dependent at high female activity and direct
density-dependent at low female activity at the larger spatial scale. We
found a direct density dependent pattern associated to substrate height
at intermediate spatial scale that is lost when the habitat has abundant
oviposition substrates. Conversely, parasitism is inversely
density-dependent at both smaller spatial scales, associated to
oviposition substrate distance and saturation of healthy host by larvae
attacking. We also found that M. ruficauda do not selects the
oviposition substrates according to the abundance of Cyclocephala
signaticollis inhabiting underground. We discuss the implications of
host searching behaviour on the observed parasitism patterns.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: Several cases of symptomatic reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 after
full recovery from a prior episode have been reported. While an uncommon
phenomenon, an improved understanding of the risk factors for
reinfection and the character and duration of the serological responses
to infection and vaccination is critical for managing the COVID-19
pandemic. Methods: We described four cases of SARS CoV-2 reinfection in
individuals representing a spectrum of healthy and immunocompromised
states, including 1) a healthy 41-year-old pediatrician, 2) an
immunocompromised 31-year-old with granulomatosis with polyangiitis, 3)
a healthy 26-year-old pregnant woman, and 4) a 50-year-old with
hypertension and hyperlipidemia. We performed confirmatory quantitative
RT-PCR and qualitative IgM and quantitative IgG testing on all available
patient samples to confirm the presence of infection and serological
response to infection. Results: Our analysis showed that patients 1 and
2, a healthy and an immunocompromised patient, both failed to mount a
robust serologic response to initial infection. In contrast, patient 3
and 4, with minimal comorbid disease, both mounted a strong serological
response to their initial infection but were still susceptible to
reinfection. Conclusion: Repeat episodes of COVID-19 seem capable of
occurring to patients regardless of the presence of known risk factors
for infection or level of serological response to infection, although
this did not trigger critical illness in any instance.
