First-year engineering students’ attitudes and learning goals in calculus: A ten-year follow-up study
Authors: Bjørnland Thea , Buan Aslak Bakke , Gynnild Vidar
Published: April 2024

This study sets out to examine engineering students’ attitudes and learning goals in a first-year mandatory calculus course. We explored how, and the extent to which, course specific goals and attitudes changed over the course of one semester. A study of learning goals and attitudes was conducted among first-year engineering students at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2007, and “educationally unwelcome” trends were observed. The current follow-up study (2017) was motivated by comprehensive course revisions from 2013 through 2015, including the use of digi- tal learning resources, improved tutoring sessions and the introduction of active learning methods. Contrary to expectations, this follow-up study brings no evidence of positive impacts of the course revisions at the mean level. Some students had stable attitudes and goal orientations, while others switched to undesired territories throughout the semester in the same way as observed ten years earlier. Better integration between foundational and applied courses, and consideration of the entire teaching and learning environment, may yield more of desired attitudes and goal orientations in the first year of study.
Pollbasert undervisning: studentaktiv læring med store studentgrupper
Authors: Coucheron David André , Beerepoot Maarten
Published: April 2024

To viktige prinsipper for å øke studentenes læring i undervisning er aktiv deltagelse og formativ vurdering. Innføring av disse prinsippene i undervisning med store studentgrupper kan imidlertid by på utfordringer, særlig i nettbasert undervisning. En mulig løsning kan være bruk av flervalgsoppgaver som diagnostisk testing med innsamling av svarene og påfølgende formativ vurdering – en undervisningsform som vi her kaller for pollbasert undervisning. I dette bidraget er vi opptatt av følgende to spørsmål: Hvordan påvirker denne undervisningsformen studentenes oppmerksomhet, motivasjon og læringsutbytte? Hva er fordeler og ulemper med gruppediskusjon som en del av opplegget? Vi har introdusert pollbasert undervisning med gruppediskusjon i et fysikkemne og uten gruppediskusjon i et kjemiemne. I en felles skriftlig studentevaluering i nettbaserte implementasjoner i de to emnene rapporter studentene høyt opplevd læringsutbytte, økt motivasjon til forberedelse og deltagelse, samt at flervalgsoppgavene hjelper å holde oppmerksomhet oppe. Gruppediskusjon ser ut til å føre til godt læringsutbytte. Økt tidsbruk med gruppediskusjon fører imidlertid til at antall oppgaver som behandles halveres. Pollbasert undervisning er en fleksibel undervisningsform fordi det kan implementeres i ulike fag, både fysisk og på nett, både med og uten gruppediskusjon og uten skaleringsproblemer med større studentgrupper, som kan være fordelt over ulike campuser. Dermed kan undervisningsformen overføres til mange andre begynneremner i STEM-fagene.

Published: April 2024

A pandemia do Coronavírus impôs uma nova realidade aos educadores e estudantes, e, devido a este quadro, as estratégias e técnicas de ensino tiveram que ser repensadas do contexto presencial, onde as relações ensino e aprendizagem eram de forma direta para a modalidade remota, que é uma adaptação do ensino presencial mediada pelas tecnologias. Desta forma cada sujeito desenvolve as atividades pedagógicas em sua residência com auxílio tecnológico, tanto de forma on ou offline. Devido a esta nova condição educativa os professores tiveram que encontrar formas de explorar os conteúdos a serem desenvolvidos com o auxílio das tecnologias e, neste sentido, os recursos audiovisuais e, em particular a videoaula, se insere neste processo. Sendo assim, o presente artigo objetiva apresentar um mapeamento e análise de estudos acadêmico-científicos que abordam questões inerentes a videoaula e suas relações com a Matemática na Educação Básica, no que diz respeito aos aspectos relacionados às questões pedagógicas e tecnológicas, dando ênfase nos estudos desenvolvidos na Região Sul do Brasil. Então, consideramos para este estudo as práticas ou abordagens educativas onde há a utilização do videoaula como estratégia de ensino e aprendizagem e seus impactos na prática de professores e alunos da Educação Básica. Desta forma, realizamos um mapeamento, do tipo Estado de Conhecimento, tendo como fonte de coleta das produções o Catálogo Digital da CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior) e, para garantir o rigor e consistência da análise utilizamos o método análise de conteúdo, de Bardin (2016). Os resultados revelam que as produções brasileiras totalizam 78 dissertações de mestrado e 10 teses do doutorado, onde as práticas pedagógicas utilizando-se da videoaula ocorreram em contexto presencial, e de maior representatividade de estudos nas regiões Sudeste e Sul. Ainda, o estudo mostrou que a videoaula precisa ser mais explorada e revista no aspecto pedagógico, bem como a formação docente para a construção desta.

Empowering Responsible Design Literacy: Identifying Narratives in a New Curriculum
Authors: Lutnæs Eva
Published: April 2024

Products of human creativity have altered nature to such an extent that a new geological epoch was proposed, the Anthropocene, wherein we keep failing together. Integrating design in any curriculum fuels change by exploring and questioning existing knowledge and situations. A pressing global situation requires a fundamental redirection of the purpose of design and of design education to advance socioecological sustainability. This paper reviews the competence goals of the new Norwegian national curriculum in the subject Art and Crafts for primary and lower secondary education (Years 1–10) through a framework consisting of four narratives on cultivating responsible design literacy. The narratives that support the reflective practices within a studio are widely represented in the competence goals, whereas the narratives that shift the focus to the society outside the studios and might encourage projects that challenge pupils to fundamentally rethink human needs and desires are scarcely represented. The four narratives break the concept of design literacy into tangible pillars that show how to advance socioecological responsibility, navigate the complexity and ethical concerns of human living, and advance design responses that care for both people and the planet.
Abordando la diversidad desde la alfabetización en Diseño Universal: una mirada sociocultural y neurocientífica
Authors: Correa María del Pilar , Juricic María de los Ángeles
Published: April 2024

Design is too important to be left to designers. Esta frase, atribuida a Raymond Loewy por Adam Richardson (2010, 184), pone de manifiesto un concepto que debiera guiar el ejercicio de los profesionales del Diseño: la función del Diseño es tan relevante que el patrimonio exclusivo de su conocimiento debe abandonar la mente del diseñador para permear en todos aquellos ámbitos de la sociedad que pueden beneficiarse de su uso. El Diseño debe ser para todos.
En este artículo desarrollamos una doble perspectiva, sociocultural y neuro- científica, sobre cómo la alfabetización en Diseño Universal y la democratiza- ción del Diseño son cruciales para el abordaje de la diversidad y la disminución de las brechas de equidad que existen en Chile. Si bien nos reunieron en este propósito nuestras respectivas experiencias en torno al trabajo con personas con Baja Visión y Ceguera, tenemos la ambición de que nuestra discusión y sus posibles aplicaciones no se limiten a este grupo de personas, sino que sean un ejemplo y reflejo de cómo abordar la diversidad desde el Diseño. Palabras clave: Alfabetización, diversidad, percepción multisensorial.

The study of traditional music, such as Malay Asli songs, has garnered significant attention from musicians and music scholars. However, prior research on Malay Asli songs has been limited in scope, with little exploration of contemporary approaches to their composition. This article aims to contribute to the discourse by exploring the hybridisation of Malay Asli songs with chord melody style composition for jazz guitar, while retaining the essential elements of the original music. The article begins by providing an overview of the standard composition of Malay Asli songs. We then demonstrate our approach by utilising the lead sheet format of two popular Malay Asli repertoire, Damak and Patah Hati. Finally, we discuss how the concept of jazz guitar reharmonisation was employed to create a new variation of Malay Asli song composition. This study offers insights for music educators and practitioners interested in exploring new approaches to traditional music composition.

Published: April 2024

The article highlights current issues in the history of the creation and use of genomic information in the leading countries of the world. Considerable attention is paid to a comparative analysis of the regulatory framework of forensic genetic databases of foreign countries, especially the United Kingdom and the United States. In the context of improving the regulatory framework for the activities of the forensic service in Uzbekistan, in the implementation of the Law “On Genomic Registration” establishing the legal basis for obtaining, recording and storing biological samples, the article highlights and describes the characteristic features and prospects for the development of the database used in automated information system designed to store genomic and personal information. Taking into account the geographical and administrative structure of Uzbekistan, the authors proposed a centralized architecture for the formation of a national database, according to which information on state registration stored in a single database of genomic information should be developed as an information retrieval system, specially protected from external connections. The authors come to the conclusion that the national database of genomic information being formed will improve the efficiency of detection and investigation of a wide range of crimes, while simultaneously solving issues of searching for missing persons.
Keywords: genomic information, database, DNA, CODIS, forensics, centralized database, identification.

Published: April 2024

Cutaneous syndrome is a relevant issue not only among allergic diseases but also among autoimmune disorders. Urticaria is a widespread problem, as its prevalence among the population can reach up to 9%. The main goal of the article is to analyze the role of platelet-activating factor in patients with hypersensitive vasculitis, autoimmune, and allergic urticaria. Urticarial rash is at the intersection of allergic and autoimmune diseases, where is observed active immunopathogenetic influence of platelet-activating factor in the initiation and maintenance of systemic vasculitis, including hypersensitive/urticarial and cryoglobulinemic vasculitis Considering the significant role of this factor in the pathogenesis of hypersensitive vasculitis and allergic reactions, selective targeting of platelet-activating factor represents a promising therapeutic approach. These include platelet-activating factor receptor antagonists such as rupatadine and apafant, as well as platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase inhibitors, enzymes responsible for platelet-activating factor degradation. Targeted intervention on platelet-activating factor holds promise for the improving the quality of life of patients with hypersensitive vasculitis, autoimmune disorders, and allergic urticaria.
Interior point algorithm for second-order cone optimization based on a new kernel function
Authors: Charif Roumaissa , Djeffal El Amir
Published: April 2024

Second-order cone optimization (SOCO) problems are crucial in various fields such as engineering, finance, and machine learning due to their ability to model complex convex optimization tasks efficiently. In this article, we propose an interior point algorithm tailored for SOCO, leveraging a novel kernel function to enhance optimization performance. Traditional interior point methods for SOCO often encounter challenges in scalability and efficiency, particularly with large-scale problems. These methods typically rely on barrier functions that may suffer from slow convergence rates, especially when dealing with highly ill-conditioned or degenerate cones. To address these limitations, our approach introduces a new kernel function that exploits the geometric properties of second-order cones, thereby improving convergence behavior and computational efficiency. The key innovation of our algorithm lies in the construction of the kernel function, which incorporates insights from the structure of second-order cones to efficiently capture the curvature information of the optimization problem. By exploiting this curvature information, our algorithm can effectively navigate the optimization landscape, leading to faster convergence and enhanced robustness compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, our algorithm is equipped with advanced techniques for handling various challenges encountered in SOCO, such as dealing with degenerate cones and exploiting problem structure to accelerate convergence. Additionally, we incorporate strategies for warm-starting and adaptive step-size selection to further improve efficiency, particularly in iterative optimization processes. Finally, our proposed interior point algorithm for second-order cone optimization, based on a new kernel function, derives the iteration bounds O (Nlog (N/∊)) for large update methods. Here denotes N the number of second-order cones in the problem formulation and ∊ the desired accuracy. These iteration bounds are currently the best known bounds for such methods.

Çevresel faktörler pek çok hastalığın sebebi olabilmektedir. Çevre sağlığı sorunları ciddi sonuçlara yol açabilmektedir. Çevresel ortamların sağlıklı olması, küresel hastalık yükünün neredeyse dörtte birini önleyebilmektedir. Çevre sağlığı okuryazarlığı, potansiyel olarak zararlı çevresel maruziyetler ve bu maruziyetlerin sağlığı nasıl etkilediği hakkındaki bilgilerin anlaşılması ve kullanılması anlamına gelmektedir. Bu kavram bireylerin ve toplulukların sağlıkla ilgili kararlar alırken çevresel bilgileri nasıl kullandıklarını etkileyen bir dizi bilgi, tutum ve davranışı içerir. Çevre sağlığı okuryazarlığının arttırılması, insanların çevrenin kendi sağlıkları üzerindeki etkileri konusunda kararlar verme becerisine sahip olmalarını sağlamaktadır. Bir toplumun çevre sağlığı okuryazarlığını artırmak, o toplumun çevresel tehlikeleri tanıma ve ele alma kapasitesini artırabilmekte, böylece olumsuz sağlık sonuçlarını en aza indirmenin yanı sıra çevresel adaletsizlikleri de giderebilmektedir. Halk sağlığı hemşireleri sağlığın birden
fazla belirleyicisine müdahale ederek ve önlemeyi vurgulayarak toplum sağlığını iyileştirmeye odaklanmaktadır. Literatürde halk sağlığı hemşirelerinin çevre sağlığı okuryazarlığına yönelik rolleri açık bir şekilde belirlenmemiştir.

COMPARISON OF TRANSTHORACIC AND TRANS-ESOPHAGEAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IN THE DETECTION OF CARDIAC EMBOLI IN AFIB PATIENTS
Authors: PASHA H , SUBHAN U , SALIM M
Published: April 2024

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) predisposes patients to an increased risk of thromboembolic events, including stroke, due to the formation of cardiac emboli. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) are commonly used to detect cardiac emboli in AFib patients, but their comparative effectiveness remains unclear. Objective: This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of TTE and TEE in detecting cardiac emboli in AFib patients. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at the Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad, Pakistan, from January 2022 to January 2023. The study included 100 adult patients diagnosed with AFib, undergoing evaluation for suspected cardiac emboli. Both TTE and TEE examinations were performed as part of routine clinical care. Diagnostic accuracy parameters were calculated for both modalities using standard formulas, and comparative analyses were conducted using appropriate statistical tests. SPSS version 25 was used, and a P value less than 0.05 is considered statistically significant.  Results: The study included 100 patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib), of which 55 were male, and 45 were female. The mean age of the patients was 65 years (standard deviation [SD] ± 7 years). Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) demonstrated a higher sensitivity in detecting cardiac emboli than transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). TEE identified a significantly higher number of emboli than TTE (48 vs. 40, p < 0.05). TEE was also associated with a lower risk of complications than TTE (0 vs. 2 cases, p < 0.05). Conclusion: In evaluating cardiac emboli in AFib patients, transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showed superior diagnostic accuracy and a lower complication risk than transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Therefore, TEE may be considered the preferred imaging modality for this patient population.

Published: April 2024

Background: The evidence of the appropriate timing of hydrocortisone is still weak and controversial. Observational studies showed a trend towards greater benefits when hydrocortisone was given earlier in the course of septic shock resuscitation. This study evaluates the effects of early intravenous low-dose hydrocortisone administered at the beginning of the onset of sepsis-induced hypotension compared with standard care.
Methods: This study is a single-center, parallel-group, double-blinded, randomized control trial, conducted in a non-trauma emergency department. Adult patients with sepsis-induced hypotension will be included. Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive early intravenous low-dose hydrocortisone or standard care. Blood inflammatory biomarkers at baseline will be collected. The primary outcome is 28-day mortality. Resuscitation-related secondary outcomes and safety outcomes will also be observed. Outcomes will be compared between groups. Subgroup analyses considering inflammatory biomarker levels will also be performed to evaluate the effect of early intravenous hydrocortisone, especially in patients with hyperinflammation.
Hypothesis: We hypothesize that early intravenous low-dose hydrocortisone administration in patients with sepsis-induced hypotension would result in less mortality and improve resuscitation outcomes, especially in subgroup of patients with hyperinflammation.
Ethics and dissemination: The study protocol was approved by the Siriraj Institutional Review Board with the certificate of approval number Si 917/2023.

The Distinction of Evaluation on Companies in Different Fields
Authors: Chen Yi
Published: April 2024

This paper explores the variations in Return on Equity (ROE) and Price-to-Sales Ratio among publicly traded companies across different time periods and market capitalizations. The analysis employs Linear Regression and Correlation Coefficients to examine the relationships between ROE, Price-to-Sales Ratio, Market Capitalization, and economic conditions during these periods. The findings reveal that Price-to-Sales Ratio serves as a reliable indicator of a company's market capitalization. Furthermore, companies within the same industry exhibit substantial disparities in Market Capitalization, ROE, Price-to-Sales Ratio, Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio, and PEG Index due to differing corporate strategies and backgrounds. For instance, in the new energy sector, both BYD and NIO display a negative correlation between market capitalization, while Tesla contradicts this trend. This discrepancy is attributed to internal factors such as asset composition, liabilities, and shareholder structure, which significantly influence a company's financial performance. The Market Capitalization of these new energy companies is predicted to rise due to global interest in AI technology, with technology companies being at the forefront of AI development. In the technology sector, companies like Google have solidified their positions by advancing AI concepts. New entrants, like Apple, combining Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, are gaining consumer support, indicating potential Market Cap. growth. The fashion industry also demonstrates distinctive strategies, with companies like NIKE, Adidas, and Anta focusing on sustainability and carbon neutrality. Therefore, future company evaluations should consider both financial indices and a company's long-term vision and sustainability practices to predict their future value effectively.
