Published: December 2023

The considerable increase in the risk of clinical events associated with chronic renal disease makes it a severe global public health issue. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a severe global public health issue, increasing the risk of clinical events and being associated with renal failure, cardiovascular disease, and early mortality. An accurate and timely diagnosis is essential. This research paper focuses on the global public health issue of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its association with cardiovascular disease. It emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and timely intervention for CKD, which poses significant risks to patients’ health. The study proposes a machine learning (ML) approach using deep neural networks and feature selection methods to diagnose CKD and heart attack disease. The ensemble learning algorithms used in this study are decision tree (DT), logistic regression (LR), Naive Bayes (NB), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and gradient boosted trees (GBT) classifier, as well as one deep learning technique called recurrent neural network (RNN). Feature selection techniques like correlation coefficient methods are used to identify critical characteristics. The evaluation of the proposed approach was conducted using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 measure metrics. The study employed all features for grid search and testing in each approach.

Exploring New Lines of Inquiry: A Practitioner–Scholar Inquiry of How Professional Organizations Have Evolved and Continue to Shape the Community Engagement Field
Authors: Berkey Becca , Green Patrick M.
Published: December 2023

The community engagement field has evolved in the last decade, indicated in one way by significant shifts in professional organizations that support service-learning and community engagement. As practitioner–scholars, we critically reflect on the changing nature of the field, interrogating how it is evolving and how the organizations are as well. We engage in practitioner–scholar inquiry, questioning how the many professional organizations push and pull community engagement professionals, and explore pivot points, shared values, common thematic approaches, and opportunities for collaboration. Through the practitioner–scholar inquiry framework of experiences, practice, and context (Green, 2023), we engage in group critical reflection discussions with leaders across 12 professional organizations, including thematic analysis of the responses, and mapping distinct themes. Our critical reflection analyses suggest strategies for moving forward to build the community engagement field.
Seva +: A Framework for ASLCE Practice and Research
Authors: Grewal Imandeep K.
Published: December 2023

In this manuscript, the author shares a theory-building approach by tracing the development of the seva + framework as a call for a necessary epistemological redefinition, with which to approach the practice and research of academic service-learning and community engagement (ASLCE). In tracing the inspiration and intention of the seva + framework, the author calls attention to the imperative for broadening the golden standards, against which most traditional research, scholarship, and service are measured. The seva + framework connects ancient wisdom with current research to argue for a different paradigm for service-learning, one that acknowledges and makes possible mutually liberating, relationally focused collaborations, and actively resisting ways of being and doing that are shaped by dominator systems. In addition, the manuscript offers guidelines for adapting the seva + framework so as to reflect the unique positionalities, experiences, and agency of the person/community adopting this ASLCE framework.
Student Perceptions of Community-Engaged Scholarship Courses: Developing a Sociolinguistic Corpus on the U.S.–Mexico Border
Authors: Christoffersen Katherine , Villanueva Aubrey , Bessett Ryan M.
Published: December 2023

Community-based sociolinguistic corpora are collections of informal interviews with community members who comprise an important dataset in sociolinguistics. Although some scholars have involved students in developing sociolinguistic corpora, few studies have examined students’ perspectives on these projects. Furthermore, very few studies examine the perceptions of underrepresented college students who are themselves members of the surrounding community. The present study analyzes the perceptions of students involved in community-engaged scholarship (CES) courses at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley on the U.S.–Mexico border. In these CES courses, predominantly Mexican American students contribute to the documentation of language in South Texas through the Corpus Bilingüe del Valle (Christoffersen & Bessett, 2019). A qualitative analysis of 38 student responses reveals six significant themes: a greater knowledge of transcription, increased connection with one’s own community, enhanced understanding from experiential learning and research experience, development of professional skills, a heightened appreciation of local language varieties, and pride in participating in a large-scale research project. These responses demonstrate the benefits of CES and serve to encourage sociolinguists to incorporate community-based corpora development in linguistics and language classes. More broadly, the results highlight the importance and impact of CES experiences for underrepresented college students, especially those incorporating course-based undergraduate research experiences.

Authors: Kniffin Lori E. , Clayton Patti H. , Camo-Biogradlija Jasmina , Price Mary F. , Bringle Robert G. , Botkin Haden M.
Published: December 2023

Critical reflection is a staple of service-learning, primarily as a meaning-making process for students. This article describes a critical reflection tool designed for all participants in community-campus relationships to generate actionable learning regarding their collective work and to serve as an intervention to deepen those relationships. This tool was designed to accompany the Transformational Relationship Evaluation Scale II (TRES II), which, on its own, has documented utility to enhance partnership inquiry and practice (Kniffin et al., 2020). The TRES II Reflection Framework broadens and deepens the scale with intentionally designed prompts structured using the DEAL model for critical reflection (Ash & Clayton, 2009). Members of 12 partnerships affiliated with five higher education institutions used the reflection framework in this mixed-methods inquiry into the utility and impact of the reflection framework. Key findings indicate that using the reflection framework is an effective intervention for improving aspects of community-campus relationships, such as participants’ commitment to, clarity around, and perspectives on their relationships, as well as influencing practices within the relationships related to work, interactions, communication, and outcomes.
The Growth of Service-Learning in Vietnamese Higher Education: Catalysts, Characteristics, and Challenges
Authors: Nguyen Dung , Milligan Andrea , Sutherland Kathryn
Published: December 2023

Service-learning has appeared in Vietnamese higher education in recent decades and is among a range of pedagogical approaches that have been imported from the West. This article discusses features of service-learning in Vietnamese universities that have emerged from the distinctive ideologies of the socialist-communist country, the influence of traditional values and religious beliefs, and the conditions of a postcolonial society and modern global economy. The interpretive multisite case study discussed in this article investigated local service-learning courses in four public universities in the Middle and South of Viet Nam. Four catalysts for the growth of service-learning in Viet Nam were identified: employability, responsibility to the community, enhancing young people’s moral values, and teachers as bottom-up initiators of service-learning initiatives. The lessons from this study hold potential to inform future policies, institutional organization, as well as pedagogies and strategies to improve and sustain service-learning practices in Vietnamese higher education and similar contexts.

Authors: Murtala Ma’aruf , Abdulkadir Muhammad
Published: December 2023

Within the past decades, the impact of climate conditions is evident on crop productions across the Nigeria’s different regions. Between the years 2021 and 2022 Nigeria witnessed one of its worst floods in the last decade as hundreds of villages and urban centres were submerged in waters, displacing over 2.4 million people. These events had negative impacts on crop yield. Crop yield is the product of both growth and development. Thus, this study attempted to investigate the effects of flood on agricultural production in Auyo Local Government Areas of Jigawa State, Nigeria spanning a period of 30 years (1993-2022), with the aimed of conducting a land-use and land-cover change of the study area; analyze the temporal trends of rainfall in the area of study; examining the yields of agricultural production in the area and to establish the relationship between agricultural yields and flood occurrence in the Auyo Local Government Area. Thus, both primary and secondary sources of data were employed in this study. In view of this, Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) of 2002 and Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) data of 2022 where used. In order to examine the trend in rainfall and agricultural yields series, 5-year running mean and linear trend lines was calculated and plotted using Microsoft Excel Statistical Tool. The rainfall and agricultural yields series were also sub-divided into 5-year non-overlapping sub-periods and Cramer’s test was then used to compare the means of the sub-periods (5-years) with the mean of the whole record period (30 years). The relationship between the flood and agricultural yields were tested using R statistical analysis. The study revealed that built-up increased from 14% in 2002 to 19% in 2022. Bare lands occupied about 50km2 of the total area examined in 2002, but decreased to about 44km2 in 2022. In addition, the water body decreased from about 172km2 in 2002 to 155km2 in 2022. Besides, the positive nature of relationships between rice yields and flood occurrences indicated a significant degree of relationship at 95% confidence level. In view of this, it was recommended among other measures, the need for the development of a Response Farming Technique and longitudinal approach for comprehensive measures to address the shock and destruction that comes with re-occurrence of flood.

Published: December 2023

The Karnival Niaga Project is part of the entrepreneurship module for students at Kolej Komuniti Selayang, Selangor, Malaysia. This project is carried out in the third semester before students undergo industrial internships. The project's initiative allows students to explore various types of businesses, with a primary focus on the food and beverage sector. After graduation, some graduates of this program choose to develop the businesses they initiated during the Karnival Niaga Project. However, challenges arise due to the lack of fundamental understanding of accounting during the project's execution. Understanding financial and accounting aspects is crucial for business growth, but this is not taught to the students. This is what prompted the outreach team from the Accounting Department of Politeknik Negeri Padang to conduct a community service activity titled "Practical Bookkeeping Techniques for Karnival Niaga Project." The goal of this activity is to provide a stronger understanding of basic accounting concepts to the participants of the Karnival Niaga Project so that they can manage their businesses more efficiently and sustainably. Participants in the training are given an understanding of common business transactions, such as initial investment activities, the purchase of fixed assets, the purchase of raw materials inventory, product sales, employee salary payments, and other company-related expenses. From this recorded series of transactions, journal reports, general ledgers, trial balances, balance sheets, and income statements can be generated. The presence of financial statements will help business owners assess their business performance, whether they have achieved their desired profits, whether the expenses incurred have been effective, and whether they can use this information as a basis for decision-making, such as setting sales targets or expanding their business.

Published: December 2023

A first attempt is made to revise the European species of the gall midge genus Planetella Westwood, 1840 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), with a focus on the fauna of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Denmark. A total of 19 species are recognized based on unique DNA sequences, of which 13 are described as new to science: Planetella adami Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., P. aestivalis Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., P. antennata Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., P. atrobrunnea Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., P. attilai Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., P. csabai Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., P. davidi Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., P. galiciensis Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., P. hlisnikovskyi Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., P. muranica Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., P. riparia Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., P. submontana Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov., and P. thermophila Ševčík & Hippa sp. nov. Four previously described species are recognized in the collected material: Planetella arenariae (Rübsaamen, 1899b), P. fasciata (Meigen, 1818) sp. restit., P. gallarum (Rübsaamen, 1899a), and P. granifex (Kieffer, 1898). For each of these species, DNA sequences are provided, as well as detailed illustrations of the male terminalia and male flagellomeres. Four additional species are represented only with larva, female or incomplete specimens. The phylogeny of European Planetella is tentatively reconstructed based on the combined analysis of three gene markers (28S, 16S, COI), but without providing any new infrageneric classification. The phylogenetic placement of the genus Planetella within the subfamily Cecidomyiinae is reconstructed based on four gene markers (18S, 28S, 16S, COI). The monophyly of Planetella is well supported, as well as its placement in the supertribe Cecidomyiidi. The genera Acodiplosis Kieffer, 1895 and Putoniella Kieffer, 1896 appear as the closest relatives of Planetella. The delimitation of the tribe Hormomyiini is discussed.
adjetivo como manifestación de la subjetividad.
Authors: Morón Usandivaras Mariana , Peri Sivina Andrea , Barbeito Vanina Andrea
Published: December 2023

En el presente trabajo, realizamos una reflexión metalingüística sobre los usos del adjetivo y sus proyecciones en el discurso a partir de una propuesta de enseñanza para la escuela secundaria. Si bien en las últimas décadas el adjetivo ha sido objeto de estudio de la gramática, los aportes emanados de la investigación no han impactado en la escuela secundaria, donde aún se enseña de acuerdo con la gramática tradicional, entendida en un sentido amplio, sin considerar la capacidad del adjetivo de predicar y de contribuir a manifestar la subjetividad del hablante. Esta propuesta se enmarca en el Enfoque Cognitivo Prototípico (Barbeito y Miñones 2007 y Borzi 2012), que considera que el fenómeno de la adjetivación se debe a la experiencia humana básica de que un objeto puede tener una cualidad, de modo que es difícil entender los adjetivos sin relacionarlos con la necesidad de evaluar los objetos y sus cualidades.

A continuación, se revisan y exponen algunos de los recursos digitales que se han venido utilizando para la enseñanza del español como segunda lengua, estableciendo una relación con las TIC.
Inspired Teachers: A Narrative Perspective on Preservice English Teachers’ Career Choices
Authors:   Shizuoka University, Clements Peter
Published: December 2023

Research on why people choose to pursue teaching careers has focused on a variety of factors related to recruitment and retention. For language teacher trainers, however, a potentially more insightful approach involves examining the discourse that preservice teachers (PSTs) use to discuss career decisions. This paper presents an analysis of narratives that Japanese PSTs used to explain why they wanted to become public school teachers. Data are drawn from a larger study of narrative inquiry as a tool for reflection in a language teaching methodology course and include texts written during the course and interviews conducted afterward. Using a framework that connects specific narrative elements (people, places, times) to wider contexts, the study reveals how PSTs relate career decisions to a dynamic and evolving sense of identity. This has implications for teacher trainers and programs, suggesting in particular the value of engaging PSTs in critical reflection on career plans. 教職キャリアの選択についての先行研究は、採用や定着に関連する様々な要因に焦点を当ててきた。しかし、語学の教員養成者にとって、教育実習生(PST)がキャリアの決定について話し合う際に使用する談話を調べることがより洞察的なアプローチであろう。本研究の目的は、教員養成課程の学生が公立の学校の教師を目指す理由を説明するためのナラティブを分析することである。データは、英語教育法を受講した学生の振り返りのツールとして、大規模なナラティブ研究から抽出されたもので、授業のために書いた課題やその後のインタビューが含まれている。本研究では、ナラティブの要素（人物、場所、時間）を社会的背景に結びつける分析法を用いて、教育実習生が教職の選択を動的で進化する個々のアイデンティティの感覚にどのように関連付けているのかを探求する。結果は、特に教員を目指す学生が自身のキャリア選択について批判的に考えることの価値を示唆しており、教員養成者と課程にとって意義を与えるものである。

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease affects multiple areas of individuals’ lives, with sexuality being one of them. Few studies analyze the approach taken by dialysis units on these aspects.Objetives: To analyze the perception of patients and professionals in dialysis units regarding the approach to sexuality in individuals undergoing dialysis.Material and Method: Cross-sectional descriptive observational study conducted between April and May 2022 in the Integrated Health Organization of Araba. Participants included patients undergoing dialysis (peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis, both in-center and at home) and professionals (nurses, nursing care technicians, and physicians) from these units. They completed an ad-hoc questionnaire collecting sociodemographic data and aspects related to the approach to sexuality in individuals undergoing dialysis.Results: 20.2% of patients and 50.0% of the team participated. 67.7% of patients reported that the treatment had affected their sexual needs “much” or “to some extent.” 66.7% of the team felt “not at all” or “not very” confident in addressing sexuality in this population.Conclusions: Sexuality is impacted in individuals undergoing renal replacement therapy with dialysis, and a significant portion of professionals do not feel confident in addressing this issue with them. Addressing this need remains an important area for improvement. It is necessary to provide professionals with the necessary tools to address this need.
