Authors: Roengrit Phattarawadee , Wathawatthana Pattharaporn , Hongsa Narueta
Published: May 2023

Speaking is one of the fundamental abilities that students should develop. In fact, the students are struggling in speaking English due to several factors such as fear of making grammatical errors, lack of confidence or limited vocabulary knowledge which led to low motivation to practice their speaking skills. The aims of this study were to investigate how the role-play technique improves the students’ speaking abilities and to explore students’ opinions towards the use of role-play techniques. This study employed pre-experimental research with a target group using a pre-test, post-test, and a questionnaire. The participants in the study were selected by employing a purposive random sampling method, which consisted of 24 sixth grade students from Ban Namon school, Kalasin province during the first semester of the academic year 2022. The findings of the study were analyzed using SPSS to calculate the t-test score, mean and standard deviation. The research results revealed a great improvement from the pre-test to post-test from 9.38 to 14.79. It showed that role-plays can help students gain more confidence as well as being able to speak more fluently in public. It was found that they were motivated by the fun atmosphere in the classroom. Moreover, role-plays can be an alternative technique for teaching speaking because students gain a direct experience of using the expressions they have learned in different situations.
Older Adults’ Friends and Ethnicity
Authors: Kang Hyunsook
Published: May 2023

This study examines the relationships among friends and ethnicity of older adults. Friends includes friend numbers and their quality of relationships with friends of older adults in the current study. Data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP) survey (Waite et al., 2020) were used. The NSHAP study sampled persons 57-85 years of age (n=3005). The respondents completed a telephone survey in which they reported their background information (e.g., income, gender, race, age, health, retirement status, and marital status) and social network characteristics. It was hypothesized that older adults’ ethnicity differentially influenced family relations. In comparison to Anglo older adults, African and Hispanic older adults have weaker (smaller number and less cohesive) family culture. In order to identify the associations between ethnicity and friend relations, multiple regression analysis was used.

Results revealed that African American and Hispanic older adults reported larger numbers of close friends, higher quality of friend in general, and higher frequency of contact with them compared to Anglo older adults. The current study’s findings build on a convoy model to account for how older adults’ ethnicity is differentially associated with their quality and size in friend relationship for future research is to examine more diverse in friend and ethnicity variables which explain the dynamic relationships between older adults’ demographic factors and friend network.
A Study Using the Hybrid Fuzzy AHP&TOPSIS Method in the Conversion of a LEED-Certified Education Building into a Nearly Zero-Energy Building in a Cold Climate

Published: May 2023

In cold climate regions, it is essential to design and manufacture energy-efficient buildings for both economic benefits and the reduction of environmental effects by controlling energy consumption. This study aimed to increase the cost-effective energy performance and approach the nearly zero energy building (nZEB) by taking the leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) in the cold climate region of Turkey as a model. The results of single and mixed scenarios that increase energy efficiency were determined by making energy modelling of the building. By applying single and mixed energy efficiency scenarios, a maximum saving of 85.60 % per year in terms of primary energy, an improvement of 83.6 % in terms of global costs and a reduction of 86.4 % in CO2 emissions were obtained compared to the reference building. The payback period of the scenarios is between 3.8 years and 14.53 years. The most suitable single and mixed scenario was determined by a systematic hybrid model, in which the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) methods among multi-criteria decision-making methods are used together. The results showed that economic criteria were decisive in determining the most suitable scenario for cold climate regions. The results of this study revealed that there can be a realistic decision-support model for the creation of energy-efficient buildings for countries without the need for foreign certification.

Published: May 2023

This article attempts to reveal the essence of social piety in the halalbihalal tradition in Indonesia, by focusing on tracing what is done in that tradition so that it can be mapped where the form of social piety is. The article is a finding from qualitative research using a phenomenological approach. The results of the study show: that the halalbihalal tradition is an implementation of social piety, which functions as a complement to individual piety that has been forged before for one full month in the month of Ramadan. This refers to the hadith of the Prophet that sins against Allah can be forgiven directly by him, but sins related to other people must be lived by establishing direct communication with those concerned. Social piety in halal bihalal manifests in the act of apologizing, asking for halal, praying, and giving alms. The research implication, narrative understanding brings a bond of individual piety, and social piety is synergized in the personality of a Muslim so that he becomes a kaaffah Muslim. This research is expected to contribute to the conceptual of Islamic education.

Published: May 2023

This research suggests a connection between sharia banking and sharia governance, particularly in Indonesia. The qualitative data for the study were gathered using the library approach. In this study, secondary data from books and articles on the subject that were gathered from reputable research publications were utilised. The necessity for sharia banking services as well as the expanding diversity of products are what are driving the growth of the sharia banking business. The findings of the literature research indicate that it is crucial for the Islamic banking sector to understand how popular it is becoming. All organisations under oppression need Islamic governance because it promotes and upholds Islamic banking and finance. The findings of this study suggest that Bank Indonesia laws control the application of Islamic sharia in Indonesia. Indonesian sharia banking must comply to sharia principles and is governed by a number of laws and regulations pertaining to the conduct of transactions. However, Indonesian Islamic banks have not yet been able to incorporate Islamic governance into their day-to-day activities.

Authors: Burleigh Cheryl , Wilson Andrea
Published: May 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic brought to the forefront disparities and inequities in U.S. K–12 public school systems that affected both educators and the students they served—not only during school closures but also after in-person instruction resumed. The purpose of this scholarly essay is to shed light on the levels of isolation that occurred during the pandemic and still affect educators in K–12 public schools as they seek to foster academically rigorous and inclusive school communities. Recognizing, and then quickly responding to, historic events by implementing strategies that take into account the social determinants of learning and health is the starting point to helping the education stakeholders heal, which will then facilitate students to regain their personal and academic confidence and abilities as we move to a post-pandemic world.

Authors: Daszkiewicz Tomasz , Woźna Justyna , Janiszewski Pawel , Śmiecińska Katarzyna
Published: May 2023

The aim of this study was to compare the chemical composition and physicochemical and sensory properties of meat (m. longissimus lumborum, LL) from wild-living female red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) aged 4 - 6 years (15 animals) and female roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) aged 3 - 5 years (20 animals). The animals were hunter-harvested in the forests of north-eastern Poland. The LL muscle of roe deer was characterized by a higher (P0.05) content of dry matter, total protein and fat, and a higher (P0.05) pH value. In turn, the LL muscle of red deer had a higher (P0.05) contribution of redness and yellowness, a more intense (P0.05) taste, and higher (P0.05) juiciness scores. The quality of meat from both cervid species was very high, and none of them can be considered superior in that respect based on the noted differences.

Background and objectives: Hemodynamic changes to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation may increase morbidity in the perioperative period. Those changes may become significant in patients with uncontrolled hypertension or heart diseases. In this study, we compared the efficacy of intravenous fentanyl and intravenous lidocaine in attenuating the hemodynamic responses during laryngoscopy and intubation. Methods: A total of 100 adult patients, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II from both gender aged 18 to 65 years undergoing various elective surgeries under general anesthesia, were included in this prospective, randomized, single-blind study. The patients were randomly divided into two equal groups, Group F received 1mcg/kg fentanyl IV 3 minutes before intubation, group L received 1mg/kg lidocaine IV 3 minutes before intubation. Patients in both groups were anesthetized with the same technique. heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure were monitored and recorded before giving the study drug, 3 minutes after giving the study drug, 3 minutes after intubation then 6 minutes after intubation. Results: We evaluated 100 patients including 49 males and 51 females, 62 American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and 38 American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status II, there were significant differences between the two groups 3 and 6 minutes after intubation, F group had less rise in heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure than L group 3 minutes after induction and endotracheal intubation. Conclusions: we concluded that fentanyl 1mcg/ kg IV had more and faster effect in blunting stress response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation as compared to lidocaine 1mg/kg IV.

Background: Breast cancer prevalence is observed to be higher in developed economies, but the mortality rates due to the said disease tend to be similar or even higher among lower-income countries. Afghanistan is among these countries where breast cancer mortality has been predominant among the female population. This may be related late diagnosis and the presentation of the cancer at much later stages.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a survey questionnaire administered from June 2021 to July 2021 among women living in Herat province of Afghanistan. It evaluated the participants’ knowledge and practice towards breast cancer. A total of 534 women answered the survey. Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS software.
Results: Lower level of knowledge about breast cancer and the limitations to the practice of breast self-examination (BSE) were found to be associated with such late detection and treatment. Using data collected in Herat Province of Afghanistan, this study examined the individual level sociodemographic factors related with the level of knowledge about breast cancer and also with the practice of BSE. It was found that 44% of the study sample of 534 women had high knowledge level. There were fewer still who performed BSE at about 12% of the respondents. Further examination showed that lower education attainment, albeit illiteracy, and the employment status were correlated with knowledge and practice surrounding breast cancer.
Conclusion: This entails the need to formulate programs targeting the specific needs of women with lower socioeconomic status to build capacity toward their health and wellbeing.
The Complete Genome Sequence of Chrysopelea ornata, Ornate Flying Snake
Authors: Dinesh Didla , Mitra Ishani , Roy Soma
Published: May 2023

Chrysopelea ornata, commonly known as the ornate flying snake, is a beautiful and unique species of snake found in Southeast Asia. This snake is famous for its ability to glide from tree to tree. The snake’s body is slender and long, with a characteristic pattern of black and yellow scales that give it a prominent appearance. The significant feature of the ornate flying snake is its ability to glide. This snake launches itself from a high branch and glide up to 100 meters through the air. The snake’s gliding ability is due to its unique physical features, including its elongated ribcage and flattened belly. By flattening its body, the snake can create a greater surface area, allowing it to stay aloft for longer periods. The snake also moves its body in an undulating motion, which generates lift and helps it maintain its balance. It is hunted and smuggled. Here we present you the Whole Genome Sequence of Chrysopelea ornata.

Published: May 2023

The killifish genus Kryptolebias currently contains seven recognized species found in freshwater and mangrove microhabitats in South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Florida. Kryptolebias species have several unique features. Beyond its amphibious nature, two of the Kryptolebias species (K. marmoratus and K. hermaphroditus sensu Costa 2011) are the only known vertebrates capable of self-fertilization. Although reference genomes for self-fertilizing species are readily available, a complete understanding of the genomic basis leading to the transition in mating systems in the genus requires more genomic resources at a broader taxonomic level. Here, we present the complete genome sequences for three Kryptolebias species from Brazil: the endangered freshwater species Kryptolebias brasiliensis and Kryptolebias gracilis and the androdiecious but obligate outcrossing Kryptolebias ocellatus (sensu Costa 2011). The raw data and assembled genomes are available in GenBank.

Implementasi jaringan pada SMA XYZ dengan menerapkan protokol routing statis. Routing statis memiliki kelebihan yaitu kemudahan dalam inplementasi dibandingkan dengan routing dinamis. Masalah yang diangkat pada penelitian ini adalah berangkat dari keluhan administrator jaringan instansi tersebut terhadap ekspandibilitas atau pengembangan jaringan pada routing statis, karena kelemahan dari protokol routing statis yaitu setiap penambahan jaringan baru maka router harus diseting secara manual. Berangkat dari masalah tersebut penulis mencoba menawarkan untuk menerapkan sebuah protokol routing dinamis dengan routing OSPF dengan batasan yaitu satu autonomous system. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah membandingkan hasil delay antara Static routing dengan dinamic routing OSPF menggacu pada standar QoS sebagai bahan pertimbangan kepada administrator jaringan SMA XYZ  dalam penerapan manajemen jaringan di masa yang akan datang. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode eksperimental dengan pedekatan uji komparatif. Penelitian yang telah dilaksanakan memperoleh hasil protokol routing OSPF pada pengujian delay menghasilkan nilai yang lebih optimal daripada routing static kecuali pada trafik jamak dengan besaran data minimun.

Alternatives to reduce losses of nitrogen (N) in the soil, increasing the use of the plant nutrient efficiency are important depending on N dynamics in the soil, to increase their use and achieve high yields economically profitable. In this context, economically-analyzed whether the effect of the mechanical application of N doses as urea, in different forms and times of application, in the grain yield of corn in Cerrado region with low altitude (Brazilian Savannah). The experiment was conducted in Selvíria – state of Mato Grosso do Sul, an Oxisol clayey, in 2013/14. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with four replications, in a factorial 6 x 2 x 2, as follows: 6 N doses (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg ha-1), 2 application times (totally in sowing or topdressing) and 2 application forms (surface or incorporated) of N, analyzing total operacional cost (TOC), effective operacional cost (EOC), gross revenue (GR), operating profit (OP), profitability index (PI), equilibrium price (EP), and equilibrium yield (EY). The urea application at a dose of 150 kg ha-1, fully applied at sowing and surface provides greater profitability in irrigated maize, ensuring profitability with production of grains in the Cerrado with low altitude.

<pre style="text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Imports are an important component in the available supply of carcass meat, so the objective was to determine the magnitude of the effect of imports on the main economic and technological variables in the supply of poultry meat in Mexico at a regional level, during 1996 to 2016. Two models of multiple linear regression were used, the supply was the variable dependent and, the price of chicken meat, pork, feed efficiency and imports were the explanatory. The results showed that imports increased the volume of chicken meat in Mexico; without and with imports, the dynamics of production was directly and inelastically explained by its price; inverse and inelastic to the price of pork, food price and imports; direct and elastic to the feed efficiency with the effect of imports but less elastic without imports. It is concluded that with imports, the variable that explained the dynamics of poultry production in Mexico was the feed efficiency.<pre style="text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">

 The objective was determine the degradation and kinetics of in vitro fermentation of excreta of excreta produced and marketed for the feeding of ruminants in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. Twelve samplings were made once the reproductive cycle of two chicken and pig producing farms was completed. A bromatological analysis was performed on the excreta samples (dry matter, organic matter, ash, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber), in vitro gas production (maximum volume, rate, lag phase, fractions of fast, medium and slow fermentation), hemicellulose and copper content. A completely randomized design was used, and the comparison of means was performed using the Tukey procedure (p<0,05). The poultry manure has greater (p<0,05) content of organic matter than swine excreta, which is reflected in a higher (p<0,05) maximum volume (MV) of fermentation gas. The swine excreta it has a lower crude protein content and higher copper content compared to the poultry manure (p<0,05), as well as higher concentration of acid detergent fiber (ADF), thus, the poultry manure present better parameters (MV, rate and lag phase) and fractions of fermentation compared to the swine excreta. It is concluded that the poultry manure they have a better chemical composition tan swine excreta, possibly the latter caused by the high copper content of this, suggesting its limited use in animal feed.

The use of body condition score (BCS), as a tool for monitoring the energy balance and body reserves of sheep, involves establishing the relationship between BCSC and body weight (BW). The objective of the study was to evaluate a prediction equation for BW of non-pregnant and non-lactating Pelibuey ewes, which was developed using a data set composed by 303 2-3-year-old, non-pregnant and non-lactating Pelibuey ewes with a mean BW of 44.71± 9.98 kg and BCS (BW= 22.47 + 6.90 * BCS). The evaluation of the equation was assessed with the Model Evaluation Systems using an independent data set of BW (37.38±7.71 kg), and BCS (2.2±1.10 units) obtained from 52 non-pregnant and non-lactating Pelibuey ewes. The linear regression analysis between BW values observed and predicted showed that the intercept did not differ from zero (0.311, P = 0.91) and the slope did not differ from one (0.984, P = 0.83). The model proved accurate, the point (0, 1) is within the ellipse; the point F was not significant (P = 0.3477). The equation presented a mean precision (R2 = 0.7924) and a good accuracy (bias correction factor, Cb = 0.99). The modeling efficiency (MEF = 0.7911) indicated a relatively high value of concordance between the observed and predicted values. The concordance correlation coefficient between both values was 0.89. The RMSEP (root mean square error prediction) accounted for 9.27% from BW observed. The predictive model presented a good precision and accuracy to estimate BW of non-pregnant and non-lactating Pelibuey ewes with PV ranges from 26.3 to 75.0 kg reared under production systems of the humid tropic. In addition, the model suggests that 6.90 ±0.32 kg of BW is required to increase BCS in one unit in this type of Pelibuey ewes.

Field experiment was conducted in the late growing season (August- November) of 2016 and 2017 at the experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Benin, to determine the effect of oil palm refuse bunch ash (OPRBA) application on the growth and yield of three cucumber varieties. The experiment was laid out as a 3×5 split-plot arrangement fitted into a randomized complete block design and replicated three times. The main plots consisted of three cucumber varieties (Poinsett, Supermarketer and Marketer), while the sub-plots were made up of five levels (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 t ha-1) of OPRBA. Data were collected on growth variables (vine length, vine girth, number of leaves/plant, number of branches per plant and leaf area index) at 50 % flowering day while yield components (fruit length, fruit girth, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight and fruit yield) were assessed at harvesting. The results showed that Poinsett and Supermarketer were significantly (p<0.05) higher in growth variables than Marketer. The application of the OPRBA significantly (p<0.05) enhanced the growth and yield of cucumber and fruit yield was maximized at 6 t ha-1 (15.05 t ha-1). The highest fruit yield (17.80 t ha-1) recorded by Supermarketer treated with 8 t ha-1 OPRBA but comparable to Supermarketer treated with OPRBA of 6 t ha-1 and Poinsett grown plots treated with OPRBA at 6 and 8 t ha-1. Conclusively, the application of OPRBA at 6 t ha-1and Supermarketer variety is recommended for cucumber farmers in the humid ultisols environment.

There is a lack of information about the epidemiology of gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections on dairy goats. The objective of this study was to evaluate factors associated with the prevalence of GIN infection in mixed-breeds dairy goat grazing on semi-arid rangelands of northeastern Mexico. Mixed-breed dairy goats (n = 668) including Boer, Nubian, Alpine, Saanen and Toggenburg in 18 flocks were used. The goats were weighted and sampled of faeces and blood. The egg counts per gram of faeces (EPG) and the percentage of packed cell volume (PCV) was determined. Age, body condition score (BCS), and FAMACHA were estimated. Environmental temperature, annual rainfall, and altitude were the independent variables. The association between EPG, PCV, BCS, and FAMACHA was determined. Temperature, rainfall, altitude, and live weight affected the EPG of GIN excretion (P <0.01). Older goats had the highest EPG counts and lower values for BCS, PCV, and FAMACHA (P <0.05) than young goats. Goats with poor BCS had a higher EPG count and lower values of PCV and FAMACHA (P <0.05). The correlations between EPG and FAMACHA; EPG and BCS; EPG and PCV were 0.58, -0.55 and -0.55, respectively (P <0.01). Correlations between FAMACHA and PCV and BCS were -0.69 and -0.66, respectively (P <0.01). It concluded, that the prevalence of infections with GIN in mixed-breeds dairy goat is high; the BCS, live weight, ambient temperature, rainfall, and altitude were factors that influence the GIN infections on dairy goats grazing on semi-arid rangeland of northeastern Mexico.
