Published: June 2024

El presente trabajo científico se enmarca, por un lado, en una situación institucional de plena virtualidad, debido a la declarada pandemia por COVID-19, y al cambio curricular planteado desde el 2018; y, por el otro, en la realidad del alumnado que enfrenta tales modificaciones con altos conocimientos digitales y poca experiencia universitaria. En virtud de ello, el problema que se ha planteado recae sobre la siguiente pregunta: ¿Cómo implementar un método de aprendizaje significativo que permita cohesionar estos dos extremos? Bajo la convicción de que la respuesta a esta pregunta es el nuevo reto de la buena enseñanza, hemos desarrollado este a partir de la práctica docente en la asignatura Derecho Público bajo la modalidad virtual, durante el año 2020, en el Régimen Promocional, de las carreras de Contador Público, Licenciatura en Administración y Licenciatura en Economía, de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas de la Universidad Nacional del Nordeste, Argentina. Este estudio, empírico y dogmático, data del primer año de pandemia, durante el cual observamos que el entorno en el que se encontraba el alumno desafiaba el objetivo de lograr un aprendizaje significativo en este contexto. Dada la imposibilidad de desarrollar las clases de forma presencial, se implementó en exclusiva la virtualidad, también llamada en este trabajo presencialidad remota. Esta fue una nueva experiencia que nos llevó a repensar las prácticas desarrolladas en el dictado de la asignatura y a abogar tanto por una perspectiva pedagógica constructivista del aprendizaje, como por la concepción de que las herramientas tecnológicas no son sólo medios para un fin, sino contextos que facilitan los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje. Sobre el final de la investigación demostraremos que, en este contexto, la mediación pedagógica es la clave en el diseño educativo y es el elemento que proporciona herramientas dinámicas a la función docente.

Authors: Wang Feifei , Cheung Alan C. K. , Neitzel Amanda J. , Chai Ching Sing
Published: June 2024

Given the importance of conversation practice in language learning, chatbots, especially ChatGPT, have attracted considerable attention for their ability to converse with learners using natural language. This review contributes to the literature by examining the currently unclear overall effect of using chatbots on language learning performance and comprehensively identifying important study characteristics that affect the overall effectiveness. We meta-analyzed 70 effect sizes from 28 studies, using robust variance estimation. The effects were assessed based on 18 study characteristics about learners, chatbots, learning objectives, context, communication/interaction, and methodological and pedagogical designs. Results indicated that using chatbots produced a positive overall effect on language learning performance ( g = 0.484), compared to nonchatbot conditions. Moreover, four characteristics (i.e., educational level, language level, interface design, and interaction capability) affected the overall effectiveness. In an in-depth discussion on how the 18 characteristics are related to the effectiveness, future implications for practice and research are presented.
Crying wolf: Warning about societal risks can be reputationally risky
Authors: Caviola Lucius , Coleman Matthew B , Winter Christoph , Lewis Joshua
Published: June 2024

Society relies on expert warnings about large-scale risks like pandemics and natural disasters. Across ten studies (N = 5,342), we explore people’s reluctance to warn about unlikely but large-scale risks because they are concerned about being blamed for being wrong. We find that warners anticipate that if the risk doesn’t occur, they will be perceived as overly alarmist and responsible for wasting societal resources. This phenomenon appears in the context of natural, technological, and financial risks, as well as in US and Chinese samples, local policymakers, AI researchers, and legal experts. The reluctance to warn is aggravated when the warner will be held epistemically responsible, such as when they are the only warner and when the risk is speculative, lacking objective evidence. A remedy is offering anonymous expert warning systems. Our studies emphasize the need for societal risk management policies to consider psychological biases and social incentives.
The role of extended family members in the lives of autistic individuals and their parents: a systematic review and meta-synthesis
Authors: Li Jia Ling , Washington-Nortey Melissa , Kifle Tsegereda Haile , Cotier Francesca , Hoekstra Rosa
Published: June 2024

Extended family members play an important role in meeting the care needs of autistic individuals, yet family support policies and practices often overlook this role. We aimed to synthesise qualitative research on the role played by extended family members in the lives of autistic individuals and their parents and identify cultural patterns. We searched eight databases and selected relevant studies through a two-stage screening process. We synthesised the results and discussions described in the selected studies using template analysis. The review included 37 studies (35 qualitative; 2 mixed methods), reporting on 964 parents and 2123 grandparents. Three main themes were developed: (1) types of support from extended family members, including emotional, financial, instrumental, and informational support; (2) unhelpful or lack of support from extended family members, including misunderstanding about autism, absence of support with caregiving, and negative attitudes and discriminatory behaviours against autistic individuals as well as their parents; (3) factors influencing the role of extended family members, including individuals, family unit, family interaction characteristics, a journey towards acceptance and cultural influences. Novel findings on the influence of culture suggested family-oriented cultures fostered kinship support, yet the emphasis on family reputation might hinder the acceptance of autism by family members. Based on a family systems approach, we recommend priorities for intervention development and clinical practice to support the effective involvement of extended family members.
Uncovering patterns of semantic predictability in sentence processing
Authors: Jacobs Cassandra L. , Hubbard Ryan , Federmeier Kara D. , Grobol Loïc
Published: June 2024

Psycholinguistic researchers have used the cloze task to measure the predictability of upcoming words, but have largely discarded the variability in the structure of responses people provide. This variability in the semantic structure of responses may be important for understanding selection during language production; however, it has proven difficult to model the semantic variability of participants' responses, and thus upcoming semantic uncertainty. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) permit us to approximate the degree of semantic variability in cloze responses, but most methods are restricted to symbolic or hand-crafted meaning representations. We show in two studies that Bayesian Gaussian mixture models can cluster LLM representations of participants' responses and produce coherent, taxonomically similar clusters. We apply these clustering algorithms to response time data in a serial cloze task and show that the semantic structure of cloze responses influences how quickly people are able to provide a response. We show clear effects of semantic competition on naming speed. In addition to providing novel operationalizations of what semantic competition might look like in the cloze task, we explain how this clustering method is extensible to other datasets and applications of interest to researchers of semantic processing in psycholinguistics.

Authors: Austgulen Marthe Hårvik , Bøyum Live Standal , Nessel Sebastian , Heidenstrøm Nina
Published: June 2024

The objective of this scoping review is to map, collate and understand the extentand type of peer-reviewed literature on the nexus of consumer policy and environmental sustainability.Sustainable consumption has gained global attention, particularly in thecontext of environmental agendas like the European Green Deal. While consumer policy plays a pivotal role in the envisioned green transition, concerns have been raised about its efficacy and alignment with sustainability goals. Some argue that there is a need for a comprehensive re-evaluation of consumer policy. However, the research on the nexus of consumer policy and environmental sustainability is fragmented. This is also the case for sustainable consumption as a policy area as a plethora of policy instruments relate to consumption in different ways, and they can be adopted at different levels.This planned scoping review covers the English language peer-reviewed literature on the role of consumer policy, and the consumer policy toolbox, in the greentransition. Studies with a stated focus on consumer policy and environmental issues, published from the year 1987 onwards in English, will be included.The review will be conducted following the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. To cover a broad array of multidisciplinary research, published in both peer-reviewed journals and books, 12 databases will be searched. The databases covered are broad multidisciplinary databases such as Web of Science and Scopus and more targeted databases such as PsycINFO and databases hosted by EBSCOhost. Data will be extracted and analyzed using a standardized charting table.
The Future of Innovation Studies in Less Economically Developed Countries
Authors: Williams Logan D. A. , Woodson Thomas S.
Published: June 2024

In this paper, we argue that there are patterns of innovation occurring in lesseconomically developed countries (LEDCs) that have been historically overlooked by theinnovation studies literature, including the literature on innovation systems and the triplehelix. This paper briefly surveys cases in agriculture, banking, biomedicine andinformation and communications technologies that demonstrate organizational, scientificand technological innovation in Africa, South Asia, and Brazil. In particular, we tracknew developments in two distinctive patterns within LEDCs: (1) civil society as a site ofinnovation and; (2) innovation through appropriation. By systematically uncoveringpatterns of innovation in LEDCs, science and technology policy scholars may make newtheoretical gains in innovation studies that can potentially contribute to innovationpolicies in the global South.

Published: June 2024

This paper reports the measurement of electron temperature (Te) and electron density (ne), Debye length (λD), and plasma frequency (fp) in a low-pressure DC glow discharge in air using Langmuir double probe. Three different methods, namely: Double slope, Dote, and Interception, were used to evaluate the electron temperature (Te), and the mean value of Te obtained from the above three methods was used to calculate the electron density, Debye length, and plasma frequency. The main objective of the study is to investigate the effect of discharge voltage and pressure on the plasma parameters at low pressure and low voltage. The experiment showed that (Te), (ne), and (λD) gradually increased, but (fp) decreased on increasing the voltage from 550V to 700V respectively. Similarly, on increasing the pressure from 0.10 to 0.16 mbar, there was a decrease in electron temperature and Debye length, whereas an increase in electron density and plasma frequency.

Published: June 2024

In this paper, we discuss the development of our methods in performing analysis on the newspaper editorial. We discover that analyzing editorial texts for opinion polarity and strength is a daunting task. It poses several challenges – implicitness of opinions, unpredictable situation with opinion polarity and strength, variance in the language expressions and so on. We evaluate the resource based approach in detecting opinion polarity and strength thereby measuring the effectiveness of the different lexicons and rules provide current results before the last line. The results show that the current accuracy are quite low and this approach requires further efforts to achieve better scores.
Dynamics of the Koshi River on the Perspective of Morphology and Sedimentation with Emphasis on Post Disaster Impact of the 2008 Koshi Flood
Authors: Kafle K.R. , Khanal S.N. , Dahal R.K.
Published: June 2024

The Koshi river is one of the most dynamic rivers in the world. It has shifted about 115 km westward due to sedimentation and tectonic activities during the past 200 years. Dynamic nature of the Koshi is revealed by its erosive nature and high capacity of carrying silt and sand from highlands. Disaster from floods are frequent in this river channel because of encroachment in watershed, high denudation rate, torrential rainfall in the upland as well as poor design of manmade structures along the river channel.
The 2008 Koshi flood is one of the most catastrophic events in last decade. In this flood, millions of people are affected and lost their properties amounting to billion dollars. Most researches on Koshi flood disasters were concentrated on immediate effects that spanned about 1-2 years post flood period. Research works over last 50 years on Koshi revealed that the lowland Koshi basin, specially downstream from Chatara, has high flood disaster risk because of the poor maintenance and monitoring of the river training works done with poor understating of the dynamism of the river. Adversely, the disaster management was always ineffective, though the flood incidences were frequent since last 4 to 5 decades. The study on long term effect to health and long term effects of sedimentation on agricultural land in post flood disaster management phase are highly insufficient. Thus, for the lowland area of Koshi, adaptation strength and resilience on the future flood disasters need to be thoroughly investigated for the effective and efficient post disaster management.
Process Safety in the Radical Polymerization of Styrene: From Bulk to Solution/Emulsion Process
Authors: Owolabi R. U. , Usman M. A. , Kehinde A. J.
Published: June 2024

In this study, the influence of process parameters on the behaviour of free radical homo-polymerization of styrene in a well mixed batch reactor was examined. The reaction of styrene with itself in hydrocarbon solvents of dissimilar polarities (acetone and chloroform) and non-hydrocarbon solvent (distilled and de-ionized water) was studied experimentally over ranges of solvent volumes, temperature, reaction time, and initiator type in a magnetically stirred thermo-well round bottom reactor. Similar reactions were carried out using equi-volumes of the solvent blend to explore the possibility of solvent synergy. This study uses the kinetic model of Coats-Redfern to evaluate kinetic parameters such as activation energy, order of reaction, and rate constant. This aspect becomes especially important as it is necessary to know in advance the parameters that will assist the occurrence of runaway reaction. The right choice of operating conditions of the styrene polymerization of known kinetics according to this study is a defense mechanism against runaway reaction. Although not discussed in this study, mischarging of reactants, maintenance troubles, agitator breakdown, etc. may also cause runaway reactions. Solution molecular weights of polystyrene samples were measured using the Mark-Houwink Sakurada equation and other procedures earlier reported. The gel effect and heat accumulation within the reactor system were less pronounced, giving a safety advantage to the solution/emulsion process compared to bulk. Further dilution of the monomer with the solvents effectively reduces the gel effects. Unlike in thermal polymerization process, the type of initiator and their mass concentration in the reacting mixtures reduce the reaction time, thereby minimizing the use of energy, making the process cost-effective.

Authors: Shakya Rajani , Rao B.S. , Shrestha Bhawana
Published: June 2024

Antitubercular drugs cause derangement of hepatic functions revealed by clinical examination and abnormal liver function test. Many factors are found to predispose patients towards this adverse reaction of anti-tubercular drugs, which can cause economical burden as well as prolong duration of illness. Detection of these risk factors for hepatotoxicity can play an important role in minimizing the incidence. The present study had objectives to assess the role of age, sex, alcohol intake, nutritional status and disease extent as risk factors in the development of hepatotoxicity in patients with active tuberculosis receiving antituberculosis treatment. 50 patients diagnosed of active tuberculosis infection with normal pretreatment liver function were monitored clinically as well as biochemically in a prospective cohort analysis. Four patients (8%) developed drug-induced hepatotoxicity. Antitubercular drugs-induced hepatotoxicity was prevalent in younger patients (6% vs. 2%, P> 0.05, P = 0.368, Odds Ratio [OR]; 2.75). Female gender was found to be at higher risk (P> 0.05, P = 0.219, Odds ratio [OR]; 4.2). Majority of the patients who had developed hepatotoxicity were sputum smear positive ones with advanced tuberculosis infection. Nutritional status, assessed by body mass index (BMI) and serum albumin level, was the next predisposing factor. Risk factors of hepatotoxicity included female sex, disease extent and poor nutritional status. Timely detection and temporary withdrawal of the offending agent can completely cure antitubercular drugs-induced hepatotoxicity.

Published: June 2024

A retrospective study was conducted in two hospitals, namely Bhaktapur Cancer Care Center and Om Hospital and Research Center, focusing on the prevalence pattern, management of cancer, and handling of cytotoxic drugs. A total of 358 cancer cases (179 from each hospital) were analyzed. Questionnaires were utilized to assess the handling of cytotoxic drugs in the hospitals. The study revealed that individuals in the age group of 45-65 were more susceptible to cancer. The top five malignancies identified were stomach, ovarian, Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL), lung, and breast cancer. Females exhibited a higher incidence of cancer compared to males, with the female reproductive system and breast being the most prevalent sites. Assessment of cytotoxic drug management was conducted by reviewing the medical records of in-patients receiving chemotherapy, revealing rational drug therapy prescriptions for all cancer cases in both hospitals. Handling of cytotoxic drugs was evaluated through direct observation of reconstitution and administration procedures, administration questionnaires, and interviews with medical personnel. Inadequate knowledge, insufficient training of personnel, limited financial resources, inadequate handling equipment, and increased risk of accidents and spills were identified as contributing factors to inappropriate drug handling practices.

Authors: K.C. Gokul , Gurung D.B. , Adhikary P.R.
Published: June 2024

High air speed makes thinner the thermal boundary layer between cornea and environment. This accelerates evaporation of water and convective heat transfer. Both factors drop corneal temperature. Most of the literatures of thermal modeling in human eye air forced convection effects is not considered. Based on different climatic conditions of Nepal and their impact on two-wheeler rider's eye, one dimensional variational finite element model is developed to investigate the forced convection effects of airflow in eye temperature distribution. The bio-heat transfer process is simulated in transient state cases. The results show that, high air speed decreases corneal temperature rapidly in cold climate but there is no significant decrease found in hot climate. The corneal temperature starts to plateau from approximately same time at same air speed and in different ambient temperature.

Published: June 2024

The issue of feminism has been a topic of discussion for many years, transforming several fields, including literature. As feminist issues have emerged, many literary works have begun to portray feminist characteristics. One of them is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Scandal in Bohemia, which has the feminist character of Irene Adler. Irene Adler is an interesting central character in this classic Sherlock Holmes story. Sherlock Holmes. Known for her intelligence and independence, Adler is feminist in the detective narrative. Irene Adler's character challenges existing ideas about women in literature at the time. The author used a qualitative method with a feminist literary criticism approach based on the theory of modern feminism, which states that everyone has the right to determine their own path of life, regardless of the influence of their environment. After analyzing the story of A Scandal in Bohemia, the author found seven characters of Irene Adler that represent feminist characters, such as strong-willed, assertive, independent, freedom of expression, self-confidence, strategic intelligence, and the ability to challenge and change stereotypes and male views of women. The implication of this research is that readers can gain a better understanding of how feminist characters contribute to the development of plots and themes in certain literary works or media.

This study endeavors to explore whether there exists a significant discrepancy in students' speaking proficiency between those instructed with the ELSA Speak application and those without it, among twelfth-grade students at SMAN 6 Kota Serang. Employing a quantitative research approach with a quasi-experimental method, the researcher examined 60 twelfth-grade students from SMAN 6 Kota Serang, comprising 30 students from XII MIPA-6 as the experimental group and another 30 students from XII MIPA-3 as the control group. Data collection methods encompassed observation, pre-tests, treatment, and post-tests. Analysis via t-test yielded revealing results: the mean speaking proficiency score for the experimental group was 76.93, while for the control group it stood at 64.26. Furthermore, the calculated t-value was 8.46, surpassing the critical t-value of 1.67 at a significance level of 5%. This disparity between the obtained t-value and the critical t-value led to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho). In essence, the findings suggest a significant disparity in speaking proficiency between the group using the ELSA Speak application and the group without it. Consequently, these results underscore the importance of integrating technology-based language learning tools such as ELSA Speak into educational curricula, as they have demonstrated efficacy in enhancing students' speaking skills and fostering more effective language acquisition.   Key words: ELSA Speak, Speaking Skill, Mobile Assisted Language Learning.

Agrotechnical science, advanced domestic and foreign practice have proven that the increase in the yield of basic agricultural sciences from fertilizers is directly dependent on the unevenness of their application. In other words, a 1 % decrease in the unevenness of fertilizer application gives a 1 % increase in yield, and vice versa. Application of fertilizers by machines with centrifugal working bodies is allowed at a wind speed of no more than 4 m/s. High-quality application of fertilizers with justified doses has a positive effect on increasing the yield, improving its quality indicators (the sugar content of sugar beets increases; the brewing properties of barley, gluten in wheat and starchiness of potatoes increase). A three-tier centrifugal working body was developed, which consists of a lower disk bolted to the flange. On the basis of the calculations, the task was set: feed the fertilizers to the disks in such a way that the angle of the spreading sector at the lower disk was equal to 120—158 and was located symmetrically relative to the axis of the machine; Fertilizer supply to the upper disk should be carried out in such a way as to obtain two sectors of spreading, located respectively to the left and to the right of the sector formed by the lower disk. The angle of each sector from the upper disk should be equal to 60—75°.
The supply of fertilizers in the experimental installation was carried out through the grease pipe to the lower disc. Catchers in the amount of 16 pieces were placed around the disk, each of them covered a sector of 15 degrees.
The experiments that were carried out with two-tier centrifugal working bodies, which have a double supply of fertilizers, allow us to draw the following conclusions:

The two-tier centrifugal disk is simple in design;
This working body improves the uniformity of fertilizer placement along the width of the grip;
Due to the improved distribution, the effective width of capture is close in value to the total width of capture;

4. By feeding to the upper disk, you can scatter fertilizers to one or both sides of the line of movement of the spreader, which is convenient when working in the garden and when processing the border strips of the field.

The results of a critical analysis of the operating conditions of immersion lances with a T-shaped tip, which are used for deep injection of powdered reagents into iron-carbon melt for the purpose of desulfurization in non-stationary process conditions, are presented. Based on the symbiosis macrostructural analysis debris removed from the clogged nozzle of submersible lance of desulfurization unit PrJSC «Kamet-Stal» converter shop and the comparison calculated and actually obtained data, conclusions were made regarding the main reasons for the blockage of the nozzle outlet lance T-tip with the complete cessation of the flow of reagents. Clogging one of the nozzles leads to a violation symmetry of the hydrodynamics bucket bath and excessive wave formation, intensification of local wear bucket lining, metal emissions and a decrease in the degree assimilation of magnesium into hot metal sulfur. The main causes of nozzle clogging include the transition from a jet to a bubbling regime of gas-powder jet leakage, with the creation of conditions for reverse hydrodynamic shocks and metal flow into the nozzle, exceeding the dust load of the gas-powder flow to supercritical values, formation of agglomerates from reagents in the working space of the nozzle, taking into account thermal load «gas-nozzle» systems. The actual values ​​of the depth penetration of the metal into the nozzle and the reduction of its cross-section, size and location of the agglomerates are established. A mechanism for clogging the nozzle of a T-tip lance and measures for improving the modes of blowing powdery reagents and their mixtures into a ladle bath are proposed.

PHENOMENON OF THE SOFTENING COLD-DEFORMED LOW-CARBON STEEL DURING ALTERNATING BENDING

Published: June 2024

For cold-rolled low-carbon steel, detected softening during alternating bending is accompanied by an increase in ductility and ability to strain hardening. The softening process is accompanied by a change at morphology of ferrite grains. Elongated grains after cold rolling acquire a shape close to a polyhedron after alternating bending. Compared to the strength properties, for which a maximum decrease corresponds to four bending cycles, the ductility and strain hardening ability of the metal continue to increase even after eight cycles. The non-monotonic nature of change in dislocation density depending on the number of bending cycles indicates complex substructural changes in cold-rolled metal, which has a dislocation cellular structure varying degrees of the perfection.
