Zmiany w rolnictwie na podstawie wyników Powszechnego Spisu Rolnego 2002 i 2010
Authors: Łączyński Artur
Published: October 2023

The paper presents the main results of the Agricultural Census 2010 (PSR 2010), conducted for the first time after the Polish accession to the European Union. It broadly describes the trends in the years 2002–2010, illustrates the dynamic changes in agriculture, the trend of the economic efficiency, production concentration, specialization and modernization. It describes the phenomena concomitant these changes i.a. reducing the number of farms and agricultural production, or even abandoning their agricultural activities. It was noted that the changes in Polish agriculture occur inconsistently due to the large regional differences in the country. It also discusses the special role in the transformation of agriculture in the countryside and the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union, having multifaceted impact on many phenomena, such as specialization and modernization of farms, maintenance of sown area, as well as a decline in populations of some species of livestock.

Uzupełniające miary statusu osób na rynku pracy
Authors: Strawiński Paweł
Published: October 2023

The author presents supplementary measures of labour market status in Poland. In 2011, Eurostat proposed to use three new measures of describing the situation on the labour market to supplement the classification of the International Labour Organisation. Definitions of these measures are discussed, and the calculations for Poland in the period 2006—2010 are presented. Isolating those on the borderline between work and unemployment, and unemployment and inactivity, allows to better understand changes in the labour market. Looking from the stocks and flows in the labour market, the most important among newly introduced groups are the economically inactive people not looking for work but ready to take it.

Culturally Responsive Teaching & Constructivist Learning Activities: a Literacy Program’s Response to COVID-19
Authors: JUNCO Eric , VAUGHN Rebecca , KARİMOVA Gunel , DUFFY Michele
Published: October 2023

This article identifies both the need for post-secondary developmental literacy programs in addition to long-standing, historical resistance to them. COVID-19, in the present, has arguably been the largest threat to this midwestern university's post-secondary literacy program, compelling it to make structural and pedagogical adjustments to support its racially, culturally, and linguistically diverse populations. With the purpose of making coursework immediately more relevant and applicable, the course was separated into meta-majors: the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and general studies. These authors discuss how these new courses paired literacy strategies and metacognitive techniques to improve student performance with coursework for classes within their major in real-time, with ongoing support of a literacy expert. The authors define specific culturally responsive teaching and constructivist learning practices they infused into their new course design and assignments.
Genetic Predisposition to Malignant Melanoma in the Population of Batam, Indonesia: A Case-Control Study
Authors: Simanjuntak Lisye Tiur
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Malignant melanoma, an aggressive skin cancer, poses a significant global health challenge. Genetic predisposition plays a pivotal role in its development. This study investigates the prevalence of high-risk melanoma susceptibility genes (CDKN2A, MC1R, and others) in the population of Batam, Indonesia, aiming to contribute to risk assessment, early detection strategies, and targeted interventions.
Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 300 participants from Batam was conducted. Genetic analysis of CDKN2A, MC1R, and additional melanoma-associated genes was performed using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Demographic and clinical data were collected through questionnaires and medical record reviews. Statistical analysis assessed the association between genetic variants and melanoma risk.
Results: The prevalence of CDKN2A pathogenic variants was 2.3%, and MC1R high-risk variants were found in 15.7% of the participants. Significant associations were observed between the presence of these variants and personal/family history of melanoma. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified specific variants conferring a higher risk of melanoma development.
Conclusion: This study provides insights into the genetic landscape of melanoma susceptibility in Batam. The identified prevalence of high-risk variants underscores the importance of genetic testing and personalized risk assessment.

What does it cost to publish a Gold Open Access article?
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

There’s been a lot of concern in some corners of the world about the Finch Report‘s preference for Gold open access, and the RCUK policy‘s similar leaning. Much of the complaining has focussed on the cost of Gold OA publishing: Article Processing Charges (APCs) are very offputting to researchers with limited budgets. I thought it would be useful to provide a page that I (and you) can link to when facing such concerns.

Published: October 2023

El objetivo del proyecto fue describir la actitud y las prácticas preventivas contra el cáncer cervicouterino que realizan mujeres de dos comunidades rurales pertenecientes a la sierra nororiental de Puebla, México. El diseño de estudio fue descriptivo de corte transversal y con muestreo probabilístico, el cual incluyó una entrevista semiestructurada aplicada a 400 mujeres de dos localidades: Zitlala, Hueytlalpan, Puebla y el Mohon, Hueytamalco, Puebla, donde se evaluó el nivel de conocimiento, y las prácticas sobre los métodos preventivos asociados al desarrollo de cáncer cervicouterino. Los resultados mostraron que la población de Zitlala era en su mayoría hablante de lengua Tutunakú y, en ambas localidades, se mostró un nivel socioeconómico de medio a bajo. Se encontró un nivel de conocimiento bajo en ambas localidades, donde más del 50% de las participantes no se han realizado nunca el Papanicolau, ya sea por la distancia o por el desconocimiento de la prueba. Ambas localidades mostraron una mala práctica de métodos preventivos; lo cual se asoció con el estado civil, el inicio temprano de su vida sexual, y el nivel de conocimiento sobre métodos preventivos. En conclusión, el estudio permitió visualizar que, el ser hablante de lengua no mostró diferencias con el nivel de conocimiento sobre métodos preventivos; sin embargo, el conocimiento y el acceso al servicio de salud sí influye en la actitud que muestra la población a la asistencia al servicio de salud y la práctica de métodos preventivos
A Neutrosophic Multi-Criteria Model for Evaluating Sustainable Soil Enhancement Methods and their Cost Implications in Construction
Authors: El-Douh Ahmed , Lu SongFeng , Abdelhafeez Ahmed , Aziz Alber
Published: October 2023

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the application of life cycle assessment (LCA) to promote sustainable soil practices in construction foundation projects. The aim is to evaluate the environmental impact and long-term sustainability of soil-related activities in construction through the lens of LCA. This assessment encompasses a wide array of factors, including soil quality, erosion control, contaminant remediation, soil stability, conservation, drainage management, and compliance with regulatory standards. To address this multifaceted evaluation, we employ a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model, specifically introducing the Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison (MABAC) method. This MCDM technique is utilized to appraise the sustainability of soil practices and is integrated with a neutrosophic set to handle imprecise information. Our study incorporates nine criteria and eight alternative methods. Through the application of LCA, construction professionals can uncover strategies to minimize the carbon footprint of their projects, optimize soil utilization, and enhance the long-term resilience of their structures. Achieving a comprehensive LCA tailored to the specific requirements of each project and local regulations necessitates close collaboration between soil engineers, environmental experts, and construction practitioners.
A Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Models for Prediction of Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors: Khalil Nariman , Elkholy Mohamed , Eassa Mohamed
Published: October 2023

Prediction of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as a useful technique for early detection of at-risk persons and the introduction of appropriate management strategies. Machine learning and data-driven methods have been used in predictive modeling to examine massive databases of patient demographics, medical histories, test findings, and genetic information. These cutting-edge methods allow for the profiling of high-risk patients and the tailoring of healthcare administration approaches. Patient outcomes, complication rates, and healthcare system efficiency may all benefit greatly from CKD screening and prediction. Responsible use of CKD prediction algorithms, however, requires resolving issues with data availability, integration, and ethics. The area of medicine has benefited greatly from the use of Machine Learning (ML) methods, which have played an increasingly central role in illness prediction. In this study, we use a strategy that makes use of ML methods to construct effective tools for predicting the development of CKD. Multiple ML models are trained, and their results are compared using a variety of criteria. We applied five ML methods such as logistic regression (LR), Decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbor (KNN). The LR and KNN have the highest accuracy with 99%.
IS THERE HOPE FOR CREATIVE WRITING IN OUR EFL CLASSROOMS?
Authors: Candanedo Wilmo
Published: October 2023

Creative writing must have a place in the English as a Foreign Language [EFL] classroom at Universidad Tecnológica Oteima.

Timing, disbelief, and curricula have been keeping us from allowing creativity and imagination to sculpt the process of writing of our students. Even though we must be faithful to the teaching of the mechanics and style of writing, we owe our students the opportunity to express their inward journeys when they write. As a result, when writting becomes a conduit to articulate the endless struggle to live, learning a second language is no longer an ongoing proof of linguistic competence, but some pedagogy to human development. In short, language learning, first and second, becomes an authentic translator of what is growing, cognitively and affectively, in our restless hearts. Surely, there must indeed be hope for creative writting in the EFL classroom.

Application of multimodal perception scenario construction based on IoT technology in university music teaching
Authors: Gao Yuexia
Published: October 2023

In the contemporary landscape of diversified talent cultivation, enhancing education through intelligent means and expediting the process of talent development stand as paramount pursuits. Within the domain of instrumental music education, beyond merely listening to student performances, it becomes imperative to assess their movements, thus furnishing additional insights to fuel their subsequent growth. This article introduces a novel multimodal information fusion evaluation approach, combining sound information and movement data to address the challenge of evaluating students’ learning status in college music instruction. The proposed framework leverages Internet of Things (IoT) technology, utilizing strategically positioned microphones and cameras within the local area network to accomplish data acquisition. Sound feature extraction is accomplished through the employment of Mel-scale frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), while the OpenPose framework in deep learning and convolutional neural networks (CNN) is harnessed to extract action features during students’ performances. Subsequently, the fusion of feature layers is achieved through CNN, culminating in the evaluation of students’ academic efficacy, facilitated by a fully connected network (FCN) and an activation function. In comparison to evaluations conducted by the teacher in the class, this approach achieves an impressive accuracy of 95.7% across the three categories of Excellent, Good, and Failed students’ evaluation processes. This breakthrough offers novel insights for the future of music teaching and interactive class evaluations while expanding the horizons of multimodal information fusion methods’ applications.
High-resolution temperature measurements to study the dynamic of aquatic systems: analysis of laboratory and field deployments
Authors:   , Sarabia Méndez Andrés Matías
Published: October 2023

Los sistemas de medición distribuida de temperatura con fibra óptica (DTS en inglés) pueden alcanzar altas resoluciones de temperatura, tanto en el espacio como en el tiempo, que permiten estudiar sistemas acuáticos con gran detalle y bajo impacto. En este trabajo, un sistema DTS se evalúa en dos aplicaciones distintas: 1) una piscina solar de gradiente salino (SGSP en inglés) de laboratorio; y 2) un río de alta cordillera donde las aguas subterráneas y superficiales tienen una fuerte interacción. Una SGSP recoge y almacena la radiación solar como energía térmica en el fondo gracias a la presencia de una zona no convectiva (ZNC), formada por un gradiente de salinidad que produce un perfil de densidad estable que suprime la convección global dentro de la piscina. La ZNC presenta un gradiente térmico que permite que la estructura interna de una SGSP pueda ser inferida usando mediciones de temperatura. Las mediciones DTS de alta resolución espacial permitieron determinar la evolución térmica del sistema, a pesar de algunas oscilaciones artificiales. Estas oscilaciones no afectaron los resultados del seguimiento de la ZNC, pero pueden ser una preocupación en las instalaciones en terreno a gran escala. Para investigar interacciones entre aguas subterránea y superficiales en una cuenca hidrográfica en la alta cordillera, se desplegó un cable de fibra óptica en una sección de ~1,3 km para monitorear las temperaturas cada 0,5 m con una integración temporal de 5 minutos. Mediciones recogidas durante 105 días se filtraron, seleccionaron y promediaron para destacar patrones térmicos consistentes, relacionados con las fuentes de agua subterránea. Los lugares identificados se correlacionan altamente con afloramientos ubicados sobre el nivel del río. El efecto de los afloramientos en la temperatura del río fue evidente durante todo el período de estudio, lo que demuestra que el agua subterránea es una fuente considerable de agua para el río.
¿Las competencias transversales se pueden aprender? Creencias y expectativas de los ingenieros e ingenieras?
Authors:   , Ortiz Yáñez Andrea
Published: October 2023

Integrar la educación en ingeniería con el desarrollo de competencias transversales sigue siendo un desafío. Las creencias de las personas sobre el aprendizaje impactan en sus procesos de aprendizaje. Por lo tanto, necesitamos comprender la mentalidad de los graduados y graduadas de ingeniería para determinar las mejores prácticas que promuevan el desarrollo de competencias transversales. Este estudio tiene como objetivo responder a las siguientes preguntas de investigación: ¿Qué competencias perciben los ingenieros e ingenieras que necesitan en el lugar de trabajo y cómo se posicionan con respecto a estas competencias? ¿Qué creencias de aprendizaje tienen los graduados y graduadas de ingeniería con respecto a las competencias requeridas en el lugar de trabajo? Para responder a estas preguntas, utilizamos la Teoría Fundamentada para analizar las experiencias de los y las ex estudiantes de ingeniería a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas. Guiados por los hallazgos de una técnica de muestreo intencional, utilizamos un muestreo teórico con un grupo de ex estudiantes de ingeniería. Los participantes perciben las competencias transversales y técnicas como independientes, siendo las competencias transversales las más relevantes para el éxito laboral. Además, los participantes se consideran poseedores de estas competencias. Nuestros hallazgos identifican cuatro creencias de aprendizaje: 1) Una característica personal esencial que el contexto puede influir 2) Un resultado de aprendizaje determinado por experiencias tempranas 3) Un proceso de aprendizaje asociado con experiencias de aprendizaje informal 4) Un proceso de aprendizaje asociado con las experiencias formales de aprendizaje. Este estudio reconoce las diferencias de percepción entre los y las ex estudiantes y la industria con respecto a la posesión de competencias transversales. También destacamos la necesidad de posicionar estas competencias como "aprendibles” durante las clases.

NOX emissions are a health hazard, and are increasingly regulated in cars.  NOx also contributes to the formation of acid rain and the eutrophication of ecosystems. Nitrogen oxides are a family of molecules including nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). These gases are formed in the engine during high-temperature fuel combustion, and play a role in the formation of fine particles in ambient air. In this article, the aim is to determine the nitrogen content of gasoline samples taken at four gasoline stations of the most representative groups in terms of distribution of light petroleum products in order to assess the environmental impact due to greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the use of gasoline by vehicles and to reduce the nitrogen content in the form of nitrogen oxides NOx. After an introduction, we presented the material and the  method used, followed by the results of our analyses and a discussion of the results obtained before concluding.

Published: October 2023

Importance

Colorectal cancer (CRC) risk varies widely in the population at average risk without a family history, but there are no established routines for translating this variation into personalized starting ages of screening.

Objective

To illustrate derivation of risk-adapted starting ages of CRC screening based on the concept of risk advancement period (RAP) using sex and a polygenic risk score (PRS) as an example.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This cohort study included participants in the UK Biobank study recruited in England, Wales, and Scotland between March 13, 2006, and October 1, 2010. Participants were aged 40 to 69 years, with no previous bowel cancer screening and no family history of CRC. Follow-up of cancer data was completed February 29, 2020, for England and Wales and January 31, 2021, for Scotland. The censoring date for death data was September 30, 2021, for England and Wales and October 31, 2021, for Scotland.

Exposures

Data on age, sex, and family history were collected at the baseline interview. A PRS was calculated based on 139 CRC-related risk loci.

Main Outcomes and Measures

Hazard ratios (HRs) of sex and PRS with CRC risk and mortality were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression models and were translated to RAPs to quantify how many years of age earlier or later men and individuals in higher or lower PRS deciles would reach risks comparable with those of the reference group (ie, women or those in the 5th and 6th PRS deciles).

Results

Among 242 779 participants (median age, 55 [IQR, 48-61] years; 55.7% women), 2714 incident CRC cases were identified during a median follow-up of 11.2 (IQR, 10.5-11.8) years and 758 deaths during a median follow-up of 12.8 (IQR, 12.0-13.4) years. The HRs of CRC risk were 1.57 (95% CI, 1.46-1.70) for men vs women and ranged from 0.51 (95% CI, 0.41-0.62) to 2.29 (95% CI, 2.01-2.62) across PRS deciles compared with the reference. The RAPs were 5.6 (95% CI, 4.6-6.6) years for men vs women and ranged from −8.4 (95% CI, −11.0 to −5.9) to 10.3 (95% CI, 8.5-12.1) years across PRS deciles compared with the reference deciles. Risk-adapted starting ages of screening would vary by 24 years between men in the highest PRS decile and women in the lowest PRS decile. Similar results were obtained regarding CRC mortality.

Conclusions and Relevance

In this large cohort study including women and men at average risk of CRC, risk-adapted starting ages of screening strongly varied by sex and a PRS. The RAP concept could easily accommodate additional factors for defining personalized starting ages of screening.

The transcription factor E‐twenty‐six variant 5 (ETV5) regulates acute insulin secretion. Adequate insulin secretion is dependent on pancreatic β‐cell size and cell proliferation, but the effects of ETV5 on proliferation, cell number, and viability, as well as its relationship with insulin secretion, have not been established yet. Here, we partially silenced ETV5 in the INS‐1 (832/13) cell line by siRNA transfection and then measured secreted insulin concentration at different time points, observing similar levels to control cells. After 72 h of ETV5 silencing, we observed decreased cell number and proliferation, without any change in viability or apoptosis. Thus, partial silencing of ETV5 modulates cell proliferation in INS‐1 (832/13) independently of secreted insulin levels via upregulation of E2F1 and of inhibitors of the cyclin/CDKs complexes (p21Cdkn1a, p27Cdkn1b, and p57Cdkn1c) and downregulation of cell cycle activators (PAK3 and FOS).
