Teacher Stress, Teacher Unintentional Bias, and Teacher Well-Being Before and During COVID-19
Authors: Zoe Primack  , Joni Splett  , Joe Graham
Published: October 2023

Almost half of all teachers in the United States report high levels of daily stress from teaching, making it one of the most stressful jobs in the country. Teacher stress is detrimental to one’s health and well-being, leading to poor academic outcomes for students and a hostile classroom environment, both barriers for young minds to learn. The COVID-19 pandemic and fear of personal health have exacerbated teacher stress levels. Individual factors that contribute to stress, such as being tired or making quick judgments, are linked to the tendency to rely on automatic cognitive processes (e.g., unintentional biases) rather than more controlled processes; these factors lead to discriminatory acts toward minoritized students. In the Vulnerable Decision Point model, the root causes of minoritized students' experiences of discriminatory acts of disproportionate discipline in schools are explained by the impact of stress on teachers’ automatic processing and unintentional racial bias (URB). Current research for teacher stress includes ways to identify and reduce stress but have only achieved moderate effect sizes driving the need to identify additional strategies for addressing teacher stress, such as teacher subjective well-being (SWB). SWB skills can include mindfulness, resiliency, and self-efficacy, thus providing opportunities to mitigate the effects of daily stressors on unintentional biases by being conscious of fast decision-making and escalation of unexpected behaviors. The data includes self-reports from middle school teachers who completed baseline demographic questionnaires and various scales prior to randomization and intervention implementation. This study aims to understand how preexisting conditions of teacher perceived stress and teacher SWB have perpetuated unintentional biases toward Black students and may have changed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rise of the Anti-Hero
Authors: Tara Perreault
Published: October 2023

Films have often defined the lines between heroes and villains by creating a clear distinction between right and wrong. There has been an increase in research that focuses on the moral grey areas seen in popular entertainment fiction.  The grey areas of morality point to characters having a more ambiguous nature, commonly called anti-heroes. There is little research to date on the increased prevalence of the anti-hero archetype. The main goal of this content analysis was to discern how the morality of the hero-type character has evolved. A small longitudinal sample of American action movies (n=30) from the past 50 years was analyzed; discerned by total gross and popularity ratings.  Morality-As-Cooperation Theory proposed by Curry et al. (2019) was used to determine the levels of the morality of the hero-type character in the coding schema. After each movie was coded, a percentage was computed for moral and immoral actions. The data was then interpreted to gauge whether the characters acted consistently good, showing a prototypical hero; or ambiguously, which would be consistent with an anti-hero archetype. Results of the study revealed that there was a strong positive correlation between the immoral actions of hero-type characters throughout the last fifty years. The findings should help to fill in the gap in the literature on the prevalence of anti-hero-type characters in movies.

Objectives Despite the increasing importance of emotion regulation, there are limited scales for its assessment. Mentalized affectivity theory proposes a novel perspective on emotion regulation. This study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of briefmentalized affectivity scale (B-MAS). Methods This is a descriptive psychometrics study. Participants were 414 students from Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran University, and Shahid Beheshti University in the academic year 2022-2023, who were selected by a convenience sampling method. They completed the Persian versions of B-MAS, ten-item personality inventory (TIPI), satisfaction with life scale (SWLS), Beck anxiety inventory (BAI), and difficulties in emotion regulation scale (DERS). Construct validity was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Convergent and divergent validity were assessed by the Pearson correlation test. Internal consistency (using Cronbach’s α), test re-test reliability, and composite reliability were also evaluated. Results The CFA results confirmed the three-factor solution (identifying, processing, and expressing) and showed the good fit of the model. The significant correlation of the Persian B-MAS score with the BAI, TIPI, SWLS, and DER scores confirmed its convergent and divergent validity. Cronbach’s α for the three factors was from 0.86 to 0.88. Test re-test reliability for the three factors was from 0.75 to 0.80. Composite reliability was from 0.79 to 0.82. Conclusion The Persian version of B-MAS with three subscales has acceptable validity (construct, convergent, divergent) and reliability for psychological studies on the Iranian population.

Background: Recombinant insulin glargine, a long-acting analog of insulin, is expressed as proinsulin in the host cell and, after purification and refolding steps, is processed to mature insulin by using trypsin and carboxypeptidase B. Because of several internal residues of arginine and lysine in the proinsulin B and C chains, several unwanted products are formed after treatment with these enzymes. To overcome this problem, we introduced three thrombin recognition sites into the proinsulin encoding sequence. Materials and methods: After the design, the modified proinsulin encoding sequence containing the 5′ His-Tag tail and three thrombin recognition sites located between the His-Tag and B chain, B and C chains, and C and A chains, respectively, was synthesized by overlap extension Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) using seven specific primers in multiple sequential PCR reactions. The final amplified fragment was cloned in the pGEM-5zf vector by the EcoRV enzyme. After sequencing, the modified proinsulin encoding sequence was subcloned into the pET-26b(+) vector using NdeI and XhoI enzymes. Finally, the modified proinsulin was expressed in E. coli BL-21(DE3) by induction with Isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Results: The accuracy of the synthesized modified proinsulin sequence was confirmed by DNA sequencing. The modified proinsulin cloning was evaluated by PCR with specific primers and digestion with specific restriction enzymes. In this study, the modified proinsulin protein was expressed up to 40%. The modified proinsulin protein expression was assessed using sodium dodecyl Sulfate–Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and western blotting. Conclusions: This modified proinsulin can be used to easily and efficiently produce insulin glargine without any impurities after processing with thrombin in one step in a nickel chromatographic column.

Background: Echinococcosis or Hydatid disease is a zoonotic disease that is caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The disease is a high public health concern in Iran, but there is little known about the genetic diversity and epidemiology of Echinococcus spp. in Iranian shepherd dogs. Materials and Methods: Fifty shepherd dogs were investigated for the adult worm of E. granulosus from May 2020 to April 2021 in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, the southeastern border of Iran. DNA extraction of samples and amplifying was done, and sequence analysis of mitochondrial genes (Cox1 and Nad1) was performed. Results:Out of 50 shepherd dogs, 11 cases (22%) were infected with E. granulosus. No significant difference was observed regarding demographic factors (P>0.05). The phylogenetic analyses of Cox1 and Nad1 sequences demonstrated G1 genotype (sheep strains) in all isolates. Based on sequence analyses, a low (Cox1, Hd [haplotype diversity: 0.200; Hn [number of haplotypes]: 2) to moderate (Nad1, Hd: 0.533; Hn: 4) genetic (haplotype) diversity of E. granulosus G1 genotype and low nucleotide diversity (π: 0.00052-0.00243) were observed. Conclusion: The first identification of a sheep strain (G1) in the final host in Sistan and Baluchestan Province indicates that potential intermediate hosts play a secondary role in preserving the biology of the dog-sheep cycle. The present study’s findings enrich our knowledge about the prevalence of E. granulosus, the classification of strains, and the genetic diversity of the parasite in Iranian herding dogs. This information helps develop strategies and programs for monitoring and controlling infection in stray dogs in the region

Background: Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) in the elderly is an epidemic that significantly impacts global health. This experimental study aimed to compare the responses of microRNA-133a (miR-133a) in different tissues and of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) in bone marrow tissue following resistance and endurance training in old rats with High-Fat Diet and Streptozotocin (HFD/STZ)- induced type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: T2D was induced by HFD/low-dose STZ in 30 male Wistar rats (21-monthold, Mean±SD weight 418±43 g). The rats received HFD (55%, 31%, and 14% of energy from fat, carbohydrate, and protein, respectively; 5.2 kcal/g). The diets continued for eight weeks in both groups. Over week four, the rats in the group with HFD/STZ-induced T2D received treatment with low-dose STZ. After one week of familiarity with the laboratory environment, they were randomly divided into three groups: Diabetic Endurance Training (DET, n=10), Diabetic Resistance Training (DRT, n=10), and Diabetic Control (DC, n=10). The eight weeks of endurance training protocol comprised five sessions of moderate-intensity training (60%-75% velocity at maximal oxygen uptake (vVO2max) and low intensity (30%-30% vVO2max). In 60% Maximum Voluntary Carrying Capacity (MVCC), the resistance group climbed the ladder 14-20 times with 1-minute rest, five days a week. Results: The results of the 1-way ANOVA test showed no significant change in serum miR-133 expression (P=0.411) and muscle tissue (P=0.077) following resistance and endurance training. However, significant differences were observed in bone marrow miR-133 expression (P=0.003) and Runx2 gene expression (P=0.002) between groups. Tukey’s post hoc tests showed that the bone marrow miR-133 expression had a significant increase following eight weeks of resistance training compared to the endurance training (P=0.006) and control (P=0.002) groups, and bone marrow Runx2 gene expression in rats exposed to resistance training compared to the endurance training (P=0.044) and the control (P=0.018) groups. Conclusion: It seems that longer periods of exercise are required for cellular changes in the metabolism of these tissues after these exercise protocols. This topic should be studied in future research
Mechanical Behavior of Cross-shaped Partially Encased Composite Columns under Axial Compression
Authors: Liu Xin , Li Yuanping
Published: October 2023

The mechanical properties of two cross-shaped PEC columns were investigated by an axial compression experiment. The experimental results showed that when the cross-shaped PEC columns were destroyed, the concrete was crushed and the flanges were locally buckled. Based on the experimental parameters, the ABAQUS software was used for finite element simulation, and the results of the finite element analysis agree well with the test results. To prevent concrete cracking and flange local buckling in the cross-shaped PEC column, a transverse link connection method was presented. The finite element simulation demonstrates that this method improves the ultimate carrying capacity and ductility of the columns. The effects of link spacing, link diameter, flange width-to-thickness ratio, and limb width ratio are also investigated.

Published: October 2023

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of grazing rest on the vegetation structure, the hydrological function, and the ecological status in grasslands of regular condition for cattle. The study area is located at 4,095 meters above sea level, in the Cordillera Blanca peasant community, Ancash Region, Peru. The experimental design was factorial 2 x 2 in blocks, where the factors were: a) two grazing systems P1: uncontrolled grazing on communal usufruct lands and P2: rest or total exclusion of grazing, and b) three years of monitoring from 2011 to 2013. At the end of the study, the vegetation structure changed according to the regime of the rangeland use, where rest favored the increase of local gramineae species, but unfavorable for herbs, pseudogramineae, and shrubs. Resting increased the vegetation cover, the accumulation of biomass and mulch on the ground with respect to grazing (P < 0.01). The hydrological function improved with the application of rest compared to grazing, which was reflected in a higher infiltration capacity and soil moisture content (P < 0.01). The ecological processes improved with resting compared to grazing expressed by the increase of the ecological status of the pasture, in response to the improvement of the components that determine its value, such as forage species and vigor (P < 0.01).

The determination of the conduction efficiency in the production units of rice-producing companies is a working tool for technicians and officials involved in the operation of irrigation systems, as it provides greater precision for the implementation of water demands and control of the water used, and accurate information on the technical condition of the canals, which is the basis for the programming of maintenance and repairs. In order to determine the behaviour of the conduction efficiency of a rice irrigation system under production conditions and compare the results with the indicators traditionally used, a study was carried out on the irrigation system supplied by the P-4 canal of the Unidad Básica de Producción Cooperativa (UBPC) Sur de Jíbaro, belonging to the company of the same name in the province of Sancti Spiritus. The hydro-technical works located at the regulation points, which had been previously calibrated, and the section and velocity method in cases where these works were not available, were used to determine the flow rate. The results indicate a general conduction efficiency of the system of 42%, a value that differs considerably from that reflected in the documents governing this activity, with the greatest losses in the tertiary canals in which 57% efficiency was obtained.

Published: October 2023

O autor teceu considerações em torno do Tumor de Ewing, discorrendo sôbre sua histogênese. Apresentou uma estatística de 11 casos, sendo que todos tiveram confirmação anatomo-patológica. Foi descrita a triade sintomatológica desta enfermidade que consiste em: dôr, tumor e febre. O aspecto raãioãiagnóstico desses tumores foi estudado, assim como foram apresentadas reproduções de radiografias. As caracteristicas anátomo-patológicas do Sarcoma de Ewing foram apresentadas. Técnicas de tratamento pela radioterapia foram descritas. A dose tumor nos casos pré-operatórios variou entre 1.200 a 1.600 r. Nos casos com finalidade curativa oscilou entre 3.000 a 4.200 r. Nos 10 casos tratados, o resultado terapêutico foi o seguinte: dos 7 tratados pela radioterapia, 2 acham-se vivos e livres de sintomas, sendo que 1 já apresenta sobrevida de 5 anos e 10 mêses, e 0 outro apresenta sobrevida de 10 mêses; os 5 restantes faleceram de metástases generalizadas. Os 3 casos tratados pela cirurgia faleceram, sendo que a maior sobrevida obtida foi de 1 ano e 3 mêses. Pela experiência que tivemos com os nossos casos, achamos que a radioterapia deve constituir sempre a terapêutica ideal para tratamento dos tumores de Ewing. A cirurgia só será indicada nos casos em que o tumor se localize nos membros e em que não se consiga hospitalização para imobilização do doente durante o tratamento pela roentgenterapia.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across across scales and levels of organization
Authors: Pichon Benoît , Kefi Sonia , Loeuille Nicolas , Lajaaiti Ismaël , Gounand Isabelle
Published: October 2023

In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops. This contributes to creating a nested set of ecological feedbacks operating at different organizational levels as well as spatial and temporal scales in ecological systems: species modifying and being affected by their local abiotic environment, demographic and behavioral feedbacks within populations and communities, and spatial feedbacks occurring at the landscape scale. Here, we review how ecological feedbacks vary in space and time, and discuss the emergent properties they generate such as species coexistence or the spatial heterogeneity and stability of ecological systems. With the aim of identifying similarities across scales, we identify the abiotic and biotic modulators that can change the sign and strength of feedback loops and show that these feedbacks can interact in space or time. Our review shows that despite acting at different scales and emerging from different processes, feedbacks generate similar macroscopic properties of ecological systems across levels of organization. Ultimately, our contribution emphasizes the need to integrate such feedbacks to improve our understanding of their joint effects on the dynamics, patterns, and stability of ecological systems.

Authors: Saadati Nila , Haryono Slamet
Published: October 2023

This study aims to determine the law of punic buying in an Islamic perspective from a case study of scarcity of cooking oil in Indonesia. This research method is descriptive qualitative and social observation. The results of this study indicate that panic buying is a form of human behavior that has a psychological effect on abnormal conditions. Because in Islam, there is no concept of scarcity of natural resources, limited human ability to explore natural resources, and weak human faith and piety in efforts to develop the economy.
