Published: November 2021

The higher education sector faced increasingly tense to transform due to the digitization that reshapes the world in the 21st century to strengthen and improve the teaching and learning environment. The present critical success factors driven by global-profit-making reform institutions are affected by both external and internal issues. This systematic article review expounds on the instrumental transformation variables that influence higher education institutions globally. The exploration of these variables is not a new phenomenon in this research field and has long gained numerous scholars' attention. However, most of these past inquiries overlooked the effects of cultural and contextual components, where the higher education landscape perspectives are often underrepresented. Hence, this study aims to fill this gap by critically reviewing a considerable amount of past studies on the changes in Asian educational institutions. The Systematic Review approach was adopted for data analysis, accessing main journal databases and search engines through Elsevier, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Scopus, Emerald and EBSCO. The search efforts resulted in a corpus of 33 articles were reviewed. As a result of the thematic analyses, eight main themes were formulated namely, Globalization, Income Generation and Financial Implication, Institutional Policies, Knowledge Management, Learning Innovation, Governance in Institutional Restructuring, Synergy, and Leadership as dominant variables for the higher education sector. Several recommendations were also presented for the reference of relevant parties and future scholars.

PREVALENCE OF NON-COMPLETION AMONG POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS IN SELECTED PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN KENYA
Authors: Mugendi Sophia Mwende , Githae Eunice Njango
Published: November 2021

Non-completion among university students is a common phenomenon in many parts of the world. Many causes of this problem have been advanced and among them are institutional and individual reasons like financial ability, gender and motivation to complete studies. Psychological distress though not investigated thoroughly has been cited as one of the problems leading to non-completion. The study sought to establish the prevalence of non-completion among postgraduate students in selected public universities in Kenya. Weiner Attribution theory (1985) informed the study. The study adopted a correlation research design, and it was conducted in two selected public universities in Uasin Gishu and Nairobi counties targeting a population of 945 postgraduate students. A sample of (N=273) was obtained from the two selected public universities through systematic random sampling. The study used questionnaires, focus group discussions and document analysis in collecting data. Reliability of the questionnaire was established using Split half method from a pilot study conducted in Uasin Gishu County. Statistical package for the social sciences SPSS 23 was also used to analyse the data. Descriptive statistics to analyze demographic data while Pearson correlation was employed to test the relationship between psychological distress and non-completion. Regression analysis was used to clarify the nature of relationship with the variable. Findings indicated an average non-completion rate of 2.5 years with most students citing financial constraints as the primary cause of their non-completion. The study recommended that students who wished to further their studies should first establish a financial channel or safe for the education journey before they registered for their studies. This would ensure that they would avoid dropping out of school due to a lack of school fees. The study further recommended that students should choose a study model that would favour their schedules to ensure that they did not go through a lot of stress trying to accomplish several tasks simultaneously.

AGING & MUSCULAR FUNCTION: A SELECTED REVIEW OF LITERATURE WITH EMPHASIS ON CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE AND FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE RESPONSE TO RESISTANCE EXERCISE
Authors: Atalağ Ozan , Kurt Cem , Gotshalk Lincoln A. , Shanklin Richard E. J. , Aina Jenna H. , McQuate Ian
Published: November 2021

This narrative review evaluates strength or resistance training on cardiorespiratory endurance, blood pressure, contractile function, contractile protein synthesis rate, bone turnover, gait and balance, and neuromuscular adaptations in elderly populations. Seventy-eight studies spanning from 1999 through 2020 were reviewed. Database sources including PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar were searched in accordance with the purpose of the study. A majority of the studies reported that resistance training reduces blood pressure and increases contractile functions, contractile protein synthesis rate, bone turnover, gait and balance, cardiorespiratory endurance, and neuromuscular adaptations in the elderly. Furthermore, combined training (CT), also known as concurrent training (strength plus endurance training) may also be as effective as traditional endurance training or traditional strength/resistance training alone for improving cardiorespiratory endurance and functional performance. According to the evaluation of studies included in this review, we concluded that training modalities that involve low-load, high velocity strength training combined with endurance training might be the best training strategy in improving cardiovascular fitness, functional capacity and musculoskeletal health in the elderly populations. Elderly people should be encouraged to participate in a concurrent training or a combination of strength and endurance training to delay, or even reverse the negative effects of aging.

DEVIATING FROM LINGUISTIC CORRECTNESS IN THE AUTHENTIC INPUT OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
Authors: Mccray Maja Žarković , Kujundžić Maja , Gavrilović Žana
Published: November 2021

Students often lack the desired authentic input in the classrooms and that is why they so often expose themselves to it by watching films, TV series or listening to popular music. This inspired our research and we decided to analyze the errors that can be found in the authentic input, which is a frequent occurrence in songs. The aim of this paper is to analyze the most popular songs at the moment, precisely those with more than one billion views on YouTube, and to answer the question if the most popular music in the world is in some way a reliable authentic input tool. We were primarily focused in our analysis on basic rules of syntax in lyrics. In the end, we analyzed 164 songs where 91 songs were linguistically correct and 73 songs linguistically incorrect. It means that more than 55 percent is correct and 44 percent incorrect. After analytic, descriptive and statistical analysis of incorrect songs, we came to a total of 230 errors divided into three categories: sentence structure (97 errors), subject-verb agreement (80 errors) and multiple negations (53 errors). We conclude that the most popular music is definitely the valuable and interesting tool, but linguistically not the reliable authentic input tool without incorporating it into classroom teaching and learning which can together with grammars, course books, dictionaries and other more reliable means for studying English influence a positive learning environment, students’ motivation and correct linguistic ‘feel’.

Authors: Ansaf Zainab Mohanad Issa , Akthar Dr. Shaheda
Published: November 2021

Verbal autopsy is one of the finest medical process to identify automatically the cause of a death afore medical ascendant entities will certify it. Identifying the exact cause is intricate and fuzzy in nature. The dataset with an exact cause of death is a paramount implement for every country to make the presage about the life style and medical facilities available to the people. Multinomial logistic regression was utilized in our study to relegate the exact cause of death. We used standard datasets like PHMRC and Matlab which were potentially accepted in medical field. The reason to utilize the Multinomial logistic Regression is that most of the dataset is consisting of 0 and 1 values which betoken the presence and absence of value in the attribute. We used three standard metrics like the sensitivity, Chance Corrected Concordance (CCC) and Cause-specific mortality fraction (CSMF) for a comparison of our model with precedent models like Insilico VA, Tariff and InterVA-4. Computed results show that proposed model is better than the precedent models.

Authors:   Dept. of Surgery, S I Gargadi , Seljul Ramyil ,   Dept. of Microbiology, Allen A Ogunjobi ,   Dept. of Morbid Anatomy
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Albumin is a single polypeptide chain of 585 amino acids synthesized by the liver which accounts for 75-80% Osmotic pressure. Hypo albuminemia in burns occurs due to loss from damage tissues, reduction in hepatic blood and due to inhibitory tissue factor such as Necrotic tissue factor, interleukin 1 and 6 released at burn sites. Method: The information about the 73 patients in our study was from our unit records and the hospital records. We Used the Cobas C III system, colorimetric assay method to carry out the serum albumin and total protein investigations. Result: We had 11 burn mortality out of the 73 patients, and based on the serum albumin at the time of death, those with serum albumin of < 25g/L have burn mortality sensitivity of 90.9% and specificity of 83.3%. Discussion: Amongst all the prognostic factors we evaluated such as type, size of burns, age of patients, inhalational injury, co-morbid factors, we found that serum albumin of < 25g/L to be a more useful prognostic factor in burn mortality. Conclusion: We used serum albumin of < 25g/L in our patients to prognosticate burn mortality and to use this knowledge to optimize their serum albumin to avert death.

A case report of critical ischemic stroke in moyamoya-like vasculopathy accompanied by systemic lupus erythematosus
Authors: Jeong Wooseong , Seong Gil Myeong , Oh Jung-Hwan , Choi Jay Chol , Kim Joong-Goo
Published: November 2021

Moyamoya-like vasculopathy (MMV) is a rare, chronic, progressive cerebrovascular disorder characterized by stenosis or occlusion of the terminal portion of the bilateral internal carotid arteries and development of abnormal collateral vessels at the base of the brain. This disorder develops in association with various systemic diseases and conditions, including neurofibromatosis type 1, Down syndrome, thyroid disease, radiation therapy, and autoimmune disease. We report a case of a 51-year-old female patient with low-activity systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who had a sudden onset of global aphasia and right hemiplegia. Three months previous, she had been on antiplatelet medication due to a single transient ischemic attack. Brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a massive infarct of the left middle cerebral artery territory. Conventional angiography showed complete occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery with poor development of basal collateral vessels. This case demonstrates that a patient with underlying autoimmune disease such as SLE accompanied by MMV should be considered vulnerable to ischemic stroke.
Agnotologia e o Princípio da Precaução

Published: November 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as relações entre agnotologia (construção social da ignorância) e o princípio da precaução (PP) sob dois aspectos. O primeiro diz respeito à crítica de que parcela dos defensores do PP teria utilizado estratégias de construção de ignorância. A partir do trabalho do filósofo Daniel Steel, mostro como elas enfraquecem um critério interno ao próprio princípio: a proporcionalidade. Sob o segundo aspecto, comento documentos tornados públicos que evidenciam estratégias de agnotologia por setores da indústria tanto sobre o PP como sobre resultados científicos para que ele não fosse aplicado. Semelhante exposição ainda não foi realizada na literatura especializada no PP. A partir dessa análise, busco contribuir para identificar estratégias de agnotologia em debates sobre o PP.
ANÁLISE EVOLUTIVA DOS PROCESSOS EROSIVOS DA BACIA DO RIBEIRÃO ALAM GREI - SP ATRAVÉS DO MODELO DA EQUAÇÃO UNIVERSAL DE PERDAS DE SOLO

Published: November 2021

A problemática ambiental da erosão dos solos tem se intensificado nos dias atuais, sendo alvo de vários estudos e pesquisas que visam buscar soluções frente à problemática do esgotamento dos solos, principalmente àqueles submetidos às práticas agrícolas. A bacia hidrográfica do Alam Grei é uma destas áreas que vêm sofrendo com o desencadeamento dos processos erosivos em toda a sua extesão, na qual se constata que a alteração antrópica, principalmente com a retirada da mata original para o uso de pastagens, plantação de cana-de-açúcar e áreas construídas, vem acarretando a formação de feições geomorfológicas que indicam tais processos em seus vários estágios de evolução. Tal área constitui-se ainda em setor de expansão urbana do sítio de Rio Claro. Desta forma, esse artigo tem por objetivo apresentar dados que possibilitam avaliar historicamente o comportamento dos processos erosivos na bacia do Ribeirão Alam Grei, por meio da Equação Universal de Perdas de Solo, considerando o uso da terra nos anos de 1972, 1995 e 2008. Assim, considera-se que será possível oferecer informações que contribuam para o planejamento ambiental da bacia a fim de que as ações nessa desenvolvidas venham a ser compatíveis com a capacidade de suporte do meio físico da área
A NOMENCLATURA DOS USOS DA ÁGUA NO BRASIL E A INTERAÇÃO COM A PERCEPÇÃO DA POPULAÇÃO CONSUMIDORA FRENTE AOS CONCEITOS DE ÁGUA VIRTUAL E PEGADA HÍDRICA
Authors: STIPP Nilza Aparecida Freres , ARANTES Marcia Regina Lopez
Published: November 2021

Os conceitos água virtual e pegada hídrica surgem como grandes contribuições para a ampliação da discussão referente à gestão dos recursos hídricos no planeta. Com o objetivo de garantir a sustentabilidade a longo prazo, torna-se necessária uma mudança profunda nos padrões de consumo que passa obrigatoriamente pela percepção dos usuários, uma vez que a contabilização do volume de água utilizado na produção de bens e serviços ainda é pouco utilizada. Analisando a divisão dos usos da água no Brasil, É possível constatar que o consumo humano É apontado como responsável por 10% da demanda direta dos recursos hídricos, sendo que efetivamente, considerando o consumo direto e indireto, seria responsável por praticamente 100% da vazão consumida total. Assim, este estudo avalia a nomenclatura dos usos da água através das vazões de água retirada, consumida e de retorno e apresenta uma nova proposta de nomenclatura de usos da água, considerando o consumo direto através do abastecimento humano e animal, tanto no meio urbano quanto rural e o consumo indireto representado pela irrigação para produção de alimentos e a industrialização de produtos, ao mesmo tempo em que discute a importância desta mudança no processo de sensibilização ambiental do usuário
Phylogeny of the Neotropical element of the Randia clade (Gardenieae, Rubiaceae, Gentianales)
Authors: Borges Rodrigo Lopes , Razafimandimbison Sylvain G. , Roque Nádia , Rydin Catarina
Published: November 2021

Background and aims – Generic limits of the tropical tribe Gardenieae (Ixoroideae, Rubiaceae) have partly remained unsettled. We produced a new phylogeny of the Randia clade, with emphasis on its Neotropical clade comprising five genera (Casasia, Randia, Rosenbergiodendron, Sphinctanthus, and Tocoyena). The result was subsequently used to evaluate and discuss: a) the respective monophyly of the above-mentioned genera and their interrelationships; b) relationships within Tocoyena and the evolutionary relevance of its subgeneric classification; and c) the monophyly of the morphologically variable T. formosa.Material and methods – We examined the phylogeny of the Randia clade based on maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of sequence data from two nuclear (ETS and Xdh) and two plastid (petB-petD and trnT-F) DNA regions from 59 individuals (including seven representatives from the remaining Ixoroideae).Key results – The Neotropical clade of the Randia clade comprises three major lineages, the Randia armata subclade, the Randia-Casasia subclade and the Rosenbergiodendron subclade. Neither Casasia nor Randia is monophyletic. Tocoyena is sister to Rosenbergiodendron + Sphinctanthus and is subdivided into three lineages: the Tocoyena pittieri group, the Tocoyena guianensis group, and the core Tocoyena. Tocoyena williamsii is paraphyletic with respect to T. pittieri. Tocoyena formosa is polyphyletic and should be re-circumscribed.Conclusions – Our results demonstrate the monophyly of each of the relatively species-poor genera Rosenbergiodendron, Sphinctanthus, and Tocoyena, and confirm their close affinity. The serial classification of Tocoyena does not reflect the evolutionary history of the genus. The paraphyly of T. williamsii with respect to T. pittieri, together with their morphological similarities and geographic distributions, support the inclusion of the former in the latter. Our study calls for additional phylogenetic work on Casasia and the more species-rich genus Randia. While the respective monophyly of both genera is rejected here, future work with a broader representation of Randia is needed.
Green formulation and characterization of Fe nanoparticles containing Calendula ‎extract and investigation of the antioxidant, cytotoxicity and anti-human ‎cholangiocarcinoma properties
Authors: Zhao Jisen , Yu Yang , Yan Wang , Cheng Shujie
Published: November 2021

Introduction

One of the simplest nanostructures that is widely used in industry today is metallic nanoparticles. Metallic ‎nanoparticles can bind non-destructively to single-stranded DNA, which are important in medical diagnostics. ‎Cancer nanotechnology developed a new area of integrative research in biology, chemistry, engineering, and ‎medicine, and is concerned with major advances in cancer diagnosis, prevention and treatment ‎

Material and methods

‎ In the recent study, the structural and morphological characterization of bio‐synthesized FeNPs@Calendula ‎arvensis was performed by FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that SEM ‎images have exhibited an equal and uniform spherical morphology in size of 30.13 nm. ‎

Results

In the antioxidant test, the IC50 of FeNPs@Calendula arvensis and BHT against DPPH free radicals were 117 ‎and 88 µg/mL, respectively. In the anticancer test, the treated cells with FeNPs@Calendula arvensis were ‎assessed by MTT assay for 48h about the anti-human cholangiocarcinoma and ‎ cytotoxicity properties on normal ‎‎(HUVEC) and cholangiocarcinoma ‎ carcinoma cell lines i.e., HCM-CSHL-0174-C22, CCLP-1, and QBC939. ‎The IC50 of FeNPs@Calendula arvensis were 196, 237, and 278 µg/mL against HCM-CSHL-0174-C22, ‎CCLP-1, and QBC939‎ cell lines, respectively. The viability of cholangiocarcinoma cell line reduced dose-‎dependently in the presence of FeNPs@Calendula arvensis.‎

Conclusions

It appears that the anti-human cholangiocarcinoma effect of FeNPs@Calendula arvensis is due to their ‎antioxidant effects.‎
Video als stimulus
Authors: Schopman Esther
Published: November 2021

Het registreren of documenteren van een performance zal voor uitvoerend kunstenaars niet vreemd zijn. Minder bekend is waarschijnlijk het inzetten van een video-opname om zoveel mogelijk gedachten te activeren die door het hoofd speelden tijdens de performance. Deze onderzoekmethode wordt Stimulated Recall Methode (SRM) genoemd, een overkoepelende term voor introspectief en reflectief onderzoek waarbij de gedachten op het moment van een gebeurtenis opnieuw worden opgeroepen door naderhand naar een video-opname van die gebeurtenis te kijken. In dit artikel bespreekt Esther Schopmanaan de hand van diverse voorbeelden de bruikbaarheid van deze methode voor onderzoek in en door de artistieke praktijk.
Teamwork in songwriting
Authors: Maltzahn Ronja
Published: November 2021

In this article songwriter Ronja Maltzahn focuses on examples and experiences of co-creation as a method for multilingual songwriting and musical translation. She distinguishes between a hierarchical and non-hierarchical perspective – here referred to as an eye-to-eye-level. Maltzahn demonstrates how within the hierarchical framework, two roles can be adopted: a visionary or a reflectionist role. Each position and setting is analysed in terms of possibilities, advantages, challenges, and difficulties.
Vijf reflecties
Authors: Van Hove Hannah
Published: November 2021

In vijf reflecties verkent Hannah Van Hove, vanuit haar eigen schrijf- en onderzoekservaringen, wat het betekent om in het onderzoeksproces de ‘ik’, meestal ogenschijnlijk weggecijferd in academische teksten, te benadrukken. Een centrale vraag bij deze bedenkingen betreft de invloed van de onderzoekservaring zelf op ideeën over taal als methodologisch instrument, wetenschappelijke argumentatie en de waarde van onderzoek.
Are there things only artists can do?
Authors: Bonfim Carolina
Published: November 2021

This article seeks to share the methods and strategies of the practice-based research project Ninety movements on TECHNOGYM G6508D. The research dissects the act of running in all its dimensions by fragmenting, archiving, incorporating, and highlighting what is unique and personal in each gesture and each way of moving. Ninety Movements is a continuation of Carolina Bonfim’s recent artistic practice, which explores the relationship between the body and the archive through a visual-arts approach.
Kannibalistisch kabaal
Authors: Verbesselt Joeri
Published: November 2021

In deze bijdrage experimenteert Joeri Verbesselt met de troop van de kannibaal om over de positie van de kunstenaar binnen de hedendaagse (populaire) cultuur te reflecteren. Hij haalt zijn ingrediënten enerzijds uit de westerse geschiedenis van kannibalisme. Maar anderzijds baseert hij zich ook op het concept van cultureel kannibalisme dat ontstond binnen Braziliaanse modernistische avant-gardebewegingen - in plaats van de invasieve populaire cultuur te imiteren of te verwerpen, stelden die voor om deze te kannibaliseren: inkomende prikkels eten, verteren en uitscheiden in een nieuwe, vruchtbare vorm. Verbesselts resultaat is een wansmakelijke recept voor een artistieke benadering van cultuur dat fictie, theorie en autobiografie vermengt tot kladderij.
