Published: December 2020

Educational technologies have become more important especially in the recent years. The use of technology to facilitate learning has increased over the past decade, but relevant problems in education are still on the agenda. The aim of this study is to determine the opinions of preservice teachers about using technological tools in education. Qualitative method was used in the study. The study was applied to the 32 senior students studying at the classroom teaching department of a university in Kazakhstan. Data were collected with interviews. The interview questions were prepared to get the opinions of preservice teachers studying in the classroom teaching department regarding the use of technology in educational technology, and the questions were applied by giving the final shape by the experts in their fields. According to the results, preservice teachers feel insufficient to use the internet and computer for teaching purposes. However, they stated that they are sufficient in using computers and internet search engines, they can prepare simple materials for teaching purposes and they can not prepare multi-purpose teaching devices. This difference can be overcome with individual research and project assignments that require preservice teachers to use technology for teaching purposes.

Published: December 2020

Video Streaming is a method to deliver multimedia content that allow files to be used or watched directly without the need to download and save it. Video streaming also include image processing, in image processing there is a component to compare the value of an image, that is PSNR. This research will compare the reactive and proactive routing protocol performance of AOMDV and DSDV using PSNR, Packetloss, and Throughput parameters in Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) for video streaming. The simulation uses 4, 16, 36, 64, and 100 nodes. The results of this research is AOMDV routing protocol with the greater variation in the number of nodes and the distance between nodes resulting in higher packet loss, decreasing throughput and decreasing values of PSNR. While in DSDV routing protocol with the greater variation in the number of nodes and distance between nodes has an impact on the increase of packetloss value, a very drastic decrease throughput value compared with the AOMDV routing protocol, a decrease in PSNR value and in some scenarios does not produce PSNR values. The comparison of PSNR values between the two routing protocols are also influenced by variations in the number of nodes and distances between nodes along with packetloss and throughput parameters. The greater packetloss will decrease the PSNR value generated.

Published: December 2020

The widespread use of mobile phones has changed learning practices in the classroom. Many studies have already recommended the advantages of using mobile phones to teach religious education to university students. However, there is a lack of evidence for these advantages in the context of religious education. This research aims to test the effectiveness of M-learning’s utilization in educational programmes for Islamic religion teachers in a private university in Jakarta. A total of 41 pre-service teachers participated in this research. Various methods of data collection are used, including observation, written journals, students’ responses, and tests. Subsequently, the data are analysed utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings show that M-learning encourages students’ awareness of conducting independent learning, creates a very interactive discussion atmosphere in class, and improves students’ communication skills in the learning process. However, numerous technical challenges are found in the implementation of M-learning, such as regarding skill in using applications, internet access, and essay tests. The findings of this research offer recommendations to fellow educators regarding using this as an alternative solution.

Published: December 2020

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) typically presents with interstitial inflammation and granulomas induced by an aberrant immune response to inhaled Ags in sensitized individuals. Although IL-17A is involved in the development of HP, the cellular sources of IL-17A and the mechanisms by which IL-17A contributes to granuloma formation remain unclear. Recent studies report that γδ T cells produce IL-17A and exhibit memory properties in various diseases. Therefore, we focused on IL-17A–secreting memory γδ T cells in the sensitization phase and aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which IL-17A contributes to granuloma formation in HP. We induced a mouse model of HP using pigeon dropping extract (PDE) in wild-type and IL-17A knockout (IL-17A−/−) mice. IL-17A−/− mice exhibited reduced granulomatous areas, attenuated aggregation of CD11b+ alveolar macrophages, and reduced levels of CCL2, CCL4, and CCL5 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Among IL-17A+ cells, more γδ T cells than CD4+ cells were detected after intranasal PDE administration. Interestingly, the expansion of IL-17A–secreting Vγ4+ or Vγ1−Vγ4− cells of convalescent mice was enhanced in response to the sensitizing Ag. Additionally, coculture of macrophages with PDE and Vγ4+ cells purified from PDE-exposed convalescent mice produced significantly more IL-17A than coculture with Vγ4+ cells from naive mice. Our findings demonstrate that in the sensitization phase of HP, IL-17A–secreting memory γδ T cells play a pivotal role. Furthermore, we characterized the IL-17A/CCL2, CCL4, CCL5/CD11b+ alveolar macrophage axis, which underlies granuloma formation in HP. These findings may lead to new clinical examinations or therapeutic targets for HP.
In Vivo Functions of Mouse Neutrophils Derived from HoxB8-Transduced Conditionally Immortalized Myeloid Progenitors
Authors: Orosz Anita , Walzog Barbara , Mócsai Attila
Published: December 2020

Although neutrophils play important roles in immunity and inflammation, their analysis is strongly hindered by their short-lived and terminally differentiated nature. Prior studies reported conditional immortalization of myeloid progenitors using retroviral expression of an estrogen-dependent fusion protein of the HoxB8 transcription factor. This approach allowed the long-term culture of mouse myeloid progenitors (HoxB8 progenitors) in estrogen-containing media, followed by differentiation toward neutrophils upon estrogen withdrawal. Although several reports confirmed the in vitro functional responsiveness of the resulting differentiated cells (HoxB8 neutrophils), little is known about their capacity to perform in vivo neutrophil functions. We have addressed this issue by an in vivo transplantation approach. In vitro–generated HoxB8 neutrophils showed a neutrophil-like phenotype and were able to perform conventional neutrophil functions, like respiratory burst, chemotaxis, and phagocytosis. The i.v. injection of HoxB8 progenitors into lethally irradiated recipients resulted in the appearance of circulating donor-derived HoxB8 neutrophils. In vivo–differentiated HoxB8 neutrophils were able to migrate to the inflamed peritoneum and to phagocytose heat-killed Candida particles. The reverse passive Arthus reaction could be induced in HoxB8 chimeras but not in irradiated, nontransplanted control animals. Repeated injection of HoxB8 progenitors also allowed us to maintain stable circulating HoxB8 neutrophil counts for several days. Injection of arthritogenic K/B×N serum triggered robust arthritis in HoxB8 chimeras, but not in irradiated, nontransplanted control mice. Taken together, our results indicate that HoxB8 progenitor–derived neutrophils are capable of performing various in vivo neutrophil functions, providing a framework for using the HoxB8 system for the in vivo analysis of neutrophil function.
The forest and its biodiversity: assessing the adequacy of biodiversity protection laws in Indonesia
Authors: Nurhidayah Laely , Alam Shawkat
Published: December 2020

Forests are a critical component of biodiversity and are essential for a wide range of ecosystem services. There is a rapid and alarming decline of biodiversity worldwide. Indonesian biodiversity, in particular, is increasingly under serious threat of environmental degradation as a result of the prevalence of criminal activities such as deforestation, poaching, illegal wildlife trade, and forest fires. The occurrence of deforestation in Indonesia can be primarily attributed to two main factors: forest conversion into oil palm plantation and wood fiber plantation. This article examines the adequacy of the legal framework in Indonesia in addressing biodiversity loss, the challenges it experiences and any prospects for the implementation of biodiversity laws and policies. This examination will be undertaken through the theoretical frameworks of the ecosystem approach, and political ecology. It is concluded that the effectiveness of legislation related to biodiversity conservation is hindered by top-down approaches and the political and economic structural legacies of previous governments which tend to favour economic development at the expense of adequate biodiversity protection. To address the complex problems of biodiversity protection, Indonesia not only needs stronger legislation in protecting biodiversity, but must address other factors that hinder the effectiveness of efforts to protect biodiversity. In addition, despite the current prospect of initiatives and policy reforms aimed at reducing deforestation and forest degradation since the implementation of REDD+, each initiative has practical, financial and legal limits. Therefore, it is suggested that the effective coordination of each strategy is needed. Particularly at the local level, the capacity of the community to be engaged in conservation and the ability of the government to implement and effectively enforce biodiversity laws has proven challenging and needs to be addressed.
Physical and psychological health of medical students involved in the COVID-19 response in Switzerland

Published: December 2020

AIMS
Involvement of medical students in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) response remains a matter of debate. The main argument against involvement relates to potential physical and psychological health risks. Hence, we aimed to compare the physical and psychological health of Swiss medical students involved in the COVID-19 response with their non-involved peers. Among those involved, we also compared frontline (working in a dedicated COVID-19 unit) and non-frontline students. In addition, we compared frontline medical students with frontline residents.

METHODS
We conducted a cross-sectional anonymous online study in Switzerland between 9 and 14 May 2020. Recruitment was through hospital, faculty and student societies mailing lists using a snowball technique. Exposure to COVID-19 patients, personal protective equipment (PPE) access, support and information by employer, as well as COVID-19 symptoms and diagnosis were collected with a self-reported questionnaire. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Burnout was assessed using two single items derived from the Maslach Burnout Inventory.

RESULTS
550 medical students (66.7% women, median age 23 years) and 227 residents (70.5% women, median age 30 years) were included in the analyses. Approximately half of the medical students were involved in the COVID-19 response and 30% were frontline workers. Of the residents, 61.7% were frontline workers. Both medical students and residents reported high access to PPE, support and information by employer. Students involved in the COVID-19 response reported a similar proportion of COVID-19 symptoms or confirmed diagnoses (p = 0.81), but lower levels of anxiety (p <0.001), depression (p <0.001) and burnout (p <0.001 for depersonalisation item), compared with their non-involved peers. Health outcomes of frontline students did not differ significantly compared with their non-frontline peers. Frontline students had lower levels of burnout than frontline residents (p <0.01 for emotional exhaustion item); the remaining health outcomes did not significantly differ.

CONCLUSIONS
In a snowball sample of Swiss medical students involved in the response to the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, we observed similar physical and psychological health outcomes compared with their non-involved peers. The context in which medical students are involved is certainly critical. Access to PPE, perceived support by employers and perceived passage of information by employers could explain these findings. Further research is needed to better understand the role of these contextual factors on student physical and psychological health.

Otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB), batılı ve gelişmiş toplumlarda artan bir sorundur. Doğası gereği büyük ölçüde genetik olmasına rağmen, birçok çevresel faktör hassas popülasyonlarda OSB'yi tetiklemede rol oynayabilmektedir. Propiyonik asit (PPA) uygulaması, anormal nöral hücre organizasyonunu ve ardından otizm benzeri nörodavranışları içeren kritik değişiklikleri indükleyebilmektedir. Likopen ve metabolitleri beyinde kontrol edilebildiğinden, likopenin merkezi sinir sisteminde nöroprotektif etkileri olabileceği ve başlıca beyin biyo-belirteçleri üzerinde modülasyona neden olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, 35 adet üç haftalık yaşta Sprague Dawley ırkı erkek sıçan 5 gruba ayrıldı: i) Kontrol. ii) PPA; (500 mg/kg/ip). iii) PPA+LI (PPA’ya ek olarak, 5 mg/kg/gün intragastrik likopen verilen grup), iv) PPA+LII; (PPA’ya ek olarak, 10 mg/kg/gün intragastrik likopen verilen grup), v) PPA+LIII, (PPA’ya ek olarak, 20 mg/kg/gün intragastrik likopen verilen grup). Çalışma sonunda hayvanlar dekapite edildi ve beyin dokuları alınarak homojenize edildi ve SDS-PAGE ve western blot teknikleriyle beyinde enflamatuar sitokinler interlökin 6 ve 10’un (IL6/IL10) ile temel fibroblast büyüme faktörü (FGF-2) ve sinir büyüme faktörü (NGF) düzeylerinin değişimi tespit edildi. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre 35 günlük uygulama sonunda likopenin, PPA ile OSB modeli oluşturulan sıçanlarda, PPA’ya bağlı olarak artan IL–6 ve IL-10 düzeylerini özellikle PPA+LIII ve PPA+LII grubunda düşürdüğü tespit edildi.

Published: December 2020

In many parts of the world, the concerns with the supply of electricity and the consequences regarding environmental issues related with greenhouse gas emissions have arouse the adoption of governmental policies which encourage a foreseen increase of renewable energy sources. As a result, renewable energy sources have shown a fast growth in production of electricity, by 2,8% a year between 2010 and 2040. After the renewable generation, Natural Gas and Nuclear Energy will be sources of fast growth. Once electric systems are always subject to possible contingents, it is of pivotal importance that they are capable of operating in a way of providing the highest reliability level desired by consumers of electricity. Within this context, the aim of this work is to present the regulatory structure and accession technical to the white fare. Bibliographic research and case study techniques were used to simulate consumer load curves classified in group B, subgroup B1, B2 and B3 with the exception of the low income and SMC category. The research establishes the comparison of white fare and conventional tariffs, seeking to situate the feasibility of choosing the current tariffs. Finally, the work presents the energy consumption behavior of each subgroup of group B, the consumer modulation capacity and the application of the tariff to residential and commercial consumers, in order to get the economic comparative analyzes already exposed. In a more in-depth analysis of the results, it appears that if consumers practiced really effective load modulation, only the discounts offered are not enough to choose their daily routine.

The sugarcane crop isconsidered moderately sensitive to environmental stresses, which results in reduced growth and lower productivity. In addition, there is a need for the application of high doses of nitrogen fertilizer. A potential and agroecologically correct alternative is the use of nitrogen-fixing endophytic bacteria, such as Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus. However, under conditions of abiotic stress the benefits from this plant-endophyte association can be altered due to the physiology of stress response. The objective of this work was to study the effect of inoculation of G. diazotrophicus by means of the evaluation of the parameters of gas exchange, in sugarcane plants submitted to salt and water stresses. The rates of stomatal conductance, transpiration and liquid photosynthesis were evaluated by means of a portable infrared gas analyzer (IRGA). The results showed that the presence of the bacteria may alter the rates of stomatal conductance and transpiration, interfering in the physiology of response to salinity and drought. Keywords: Endophytic bactéria. Stomatal conductance. Transpiration. Salinity. Drought.

Authors: RIVERO ORTEGA RICARDO
Published: December 2020

La crisis COVID-19 ha puesto en evidencia la falta de capacidad de anticipación de nuestra gobernanza multinivel, por una tardía respuesta desde el nivel central. Una metodología más descentralizada y sin soluciones de ¿talla única¿ hubiera sido más apropiada en la toma de decisiones, en la línea sugerida por la ciencia de definición estratégica de escenarios.

COVID-19 krisiak agerian utzi du maila anitzeko gure Gobernantzak ez duela aurrea hartzeko gaitasunik, maila zentraletik berandu erantzun delako. Denontzat neurri berak ezarri ordez metodologia deszentralizatuago batean oinarrituz gero, agertokien definizio estrategikoko zientziak iradokitzen duen ildoari jarraikiz, erabaki egokiagoak hartuko ziren.

The COVID-19 crisis has revealed the lack of capacity to anticipate of our multilevel governance, due to a slow reaction of central power. A more decentralized and not ¿one size fits all¿ decision-making methodology could have been smarter, as suggested by the state of science of strategic scenario definition.

Published: December 2020

Este trabajo analiza la jurisprudencia menor más reciente en el ámbito de las comunicaciones y declaraciones responsables, como medio ordinario de intervención administrativa en la actividad ciudadana y especialmente en lo que respecta al ámbito urbanístico. Se busca despejar algunas dudas surgidas en relación con la tramitación a seguir ante la presentación de este tipo de técnicas o, en su caso, ante su falta de presentación, así como analizar la jurisprudencia pacífica en relación con la medida cautelar de paralización de la actuación irregular.

Lan honek sortu berri den jurisprudentzia txikia aztertzen du, jakinarazpenak eta aitorpen arduratsuak, herritarren jardueran Administrazioaren esku-hartzeko bitarteko arrunt gisa, ondo ezagutzeko; bereziki, hirigintzako arlora begiratuko dugu. Zalantza guztiak konpondu nahi dira, adibidez, mota honetako teknikak aurkeztutakoan edo, hala badagokio, aurkezpenik egin ezean. Halaber, aztertzen da jurisprudentzia baketsua ekintza irregularrak gelditzeko behin behineko neurriarekin lotuta.

This work analyzes the most recent minor jurisprudence in the field of responsible communications and declarations, as an ordinary means of administrative intervention in civic activity and especially with regard to urban planning. The aim is to clarify some doubts raised regarding the procedure to follow in the case of the submission of this type of techniques or, as the case may be, in the case of no submission; we also analyze the peaceful jurisprudence in relation to the precautionary measure to stay of the irregular action.

Less than half of people return to work following a stroke. For those who do, their return is often complicated by residual 'invisible' symptoms. It is important to ask about work and to provide intervention early in the rehabilitation process. Specialist vocational rehabilitation services can support more complex and long-term interventions, but there is a paucity of service provision which needs to be addressed.

La  presente investigación  tiene un  enfoque mixto.  Se realizó  un  proyecto  de inversión  para una microprocesadora de lácteos en la localidad de Naica, municipio de Saucillo, Chihuahua. Se aplicó un cuestionario a 91 habitantes de la localidad para conocer la tendencia de consumo de productos lácteos en dicha región. Se realizó un panel de expertos en procesamiento de quesos y se identificó la materia prima, costos y cantidad de producto que se requiere para su elaboración. Se realizó un análisis estadístico referente a las tendencias de consumo y precios que estarían dispuestos a pagar por los productos lácteos que la empresa ofertara. El estudio de mercado arrojo información de la factibilidad de ventas de queso asadero, cheddar, chopitos y jamoncillo. El proyecto de inversión siguió el formato de SAGARPA- FAPPA, con un horizonte de proyecto de cinco años (2017- 2022). Se calculó la Tasa Interna de Retorno (TIR), siendo esta del 28% y considerando la tasa de actualización del 15%,  el proyecto recupera los $537,561.24   de inversión inicial y es factible financieramente. Además se obtuvo el Valor Actual Neto (VAN 15%) de $155,390.20, que evaluándolo con el criterio de aceptar el proyecto con una VAN mayor o igual a cero, el proyecto es económicamente viable.

Hoy en día las cicadas en general, tienen un alto potencial con fines ornamentales, y específicamente la Dioon edule L., es objeto de extracción en su estado natural para su comercialización de forma clandestina, dañando con ello la destrucción de su hábitat y perdida de la especie, por lo tanto catalogada por la NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010 como una especie en peligro de extinción. Su propagación en viveros con fines comerciales y de reforestación es recomendable, y coincide con la necesidad de realizar estudios de mercado que brinden información para vincular la producción-comercialización bajo una dinámica sustentable. El estudio se llevó a cabo en la parte centro y sur del estado de Veracruz, se visitaron 30 viveros de especies ornamentales y entre las que se encontraban la cicada Dioon Edule L., se aplicó la técnica de la observación que consistió en identificar personas, fenómenos, hechos, casos, objetos, acciones, situaciones, etc., con el fin de obtener información de las características y aspectos de las plantas, además del tipo y costo de comercialización y sus permisos de SEMARNAT; información que nos permitió identificar el mercado actual y potencial del Dioon edule L.
Disorders of Sex Development: A 5-year Review of Patients at a Tertiary Care Hospital
Authors: Guerrero-Gonzalez Kristin Grace H. , Estrada Sylvia C.
Published: December 2020

Background. Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) are conditions that arise from an abnormality of the typical structural, chromosomal and/or gonadal characteristics of sex development. The incidence of DSD is not well established in the Philippines and there is no published local data. The complex nature of DSD requires streamlined multidisciplinary team management and guidelines from the 2006 Consensus meeting have become the standard of care for patients.Objective. The study describes the phenotype, biochemical, diagnostic and management profiles of patients with Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) excluding congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) at the Philippine General Hospital, a tertiary care medical facility.Methods. Medical records of patients with DSD seen at the Division of Clinical Genetics from 2012-2016 were reviewed. Histories, demographic profiles, clinical features, co-existing health conditions, laboratory, imaging results, and interventions (medical or surgical) were recorded into a clinical report form.Results. Fifty-five (55) patient charts were included of all the patients with DSD listed in the registry. The neonatal period was the most common time DSD was first noted (69.09%). Most (58.18%) were assigned the male sex. The most common genital anomalies were hypospadias (45.45%), cryptorchidism (21.82%), and micropenis (12.73%). Associated health conditions included multiple congenital anomalies (32.73%), genitourinary with or without gastrointestinal anomalies (16.36%) and dysmorphic features (12.73%). Among 28patients with karyotypes, there were 12 patients with sex chromosome DSD; two 46, XX DSD and fourteen 46, XY DSD. Four patients were prescribed hydrocortisone, three of whom had higher levels of 17-OH progesterone beyond cut-off level (2 preterm, 1 full term) while 1 full term presented with genital ambiguity; one case of Klinefelter syndrome was given testosterone replacement. Ten patients underwent corrective surgery for urogenital anomalies. Repair of hypospadias was the most common procedure. Repairs of associated anomalies (neurologic, cardiac, gastrointestinal, genitourinary) were done in 6 patients.Conclusion. Complete history, meticulous physical examination and comprehensive investigations are important for the confirmation of DSDs. Uniform classification, use of standardized terminology, and proper documentation of findings are crucial for the integrated and appropriate management of these patients.
