Published: January 2021

This research intends to study the conditions and problems of learning management in Mathematics for undergraduate students. The research problem is that students have low achievement and ability problem-solving in mathematics. The research method used is development through conducting preliminary studies and quantitative survey research, producing initial designs of integrative learning models. The results of this research were used to develop the mathematics learning model. The research was conducted over one year considering two groups. The first sample was collected from the group with 376 students studying mathematics in the academic year 2020. The second sample was collected from the group with 116 professors of public universities in Thailand. Questionnaires were used as a tool of the research. The data analysis was divided into two stages. The first stage was to analyze supporting factors with factor analysis. The second stage was to design the learning management of students and professors with regression analysis. The results have shown that the opinions of students and professors on conditions and problems of learning management can be summarized as follows: (1) The students’ arguments for corrections in the aspects were group learning and teamwork, steps of solving problems, a learning model that is real situations, and the problem-based learning, respectively. (2) The professors’ opinions for corrections in the aspects were student interaction, academic achievement, problem-based learning, and learning management model that is current situations, respectively. (3)The supporting factors for developing the learning management model that professors and students were consistent in solving problems. It was found that there were three main factors as follows; group learning, problem-based learning, and active learning. The learning management model should be developed by integrating group learning, problem-based learning, and mathematical problem-solving to enhance problem-solving and mathematics learning achievement.
Rheokinematics for Product Development -- Formulation Screening in Rotational Rheometers
Authors: Brito Margarida , Matos Joana , Torres Marina , Fonte Claudio , Dias Madalena , Lopes José Carlos , Santos Ricardo
Published: January 2021

Product formulations for industrial processes are typically developed at
lab-scale. However, the mixing conditions are not easily mimicked in the
lab. A rotational device is proposed in this work as a fast lab-scale
formulation development, which enables mimicking the mixing conditions
in the industrial process. The geometrical configurations of the
rotational device are from rheometry devices (plate-plate and
cone-plate). The main advantages of this method are the small amounts of
raw materials, and shorter testing times. This methodology is applied to
an industrial case study, the Reaction Injection Moulding (RIM) process.
The mixing length scales evolution in the rotational rheometer were
matched to those in RIM machines. The main novelty of this work is the
introduction of a protocol that bridges the processing conditions at lab
using small amounts of raw materials to high throughput continuous flow
reactors.

Authors: Ibrahim Sami , Miller Matthew , Blazek Olivia , Strickling Jarred , Patel Paras , Elumogo Comfort , Wharton Robert , Bilchick Kenneth , Mazimba Sula
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Left and right atrial volume indices (LAVI and RAVI) are
markers of cardiac remodeling. LAVI and RAVI are associated with worse
outcomes in other cardiac conditions. This study aimed to determine the
association of LAVI and RAVI with survival time post-cardiac arrest.
Hypothesis: Atrial volumes will be associated with survival time post
cardiac arrest. Methods: This was a single academic center,
retrospective study of patients with a cardiac arrest event during index
hospitalization from 2014-2018. LAVI was calculated using a biplane
Simpson’s method, while RAVI was calculated using a single plane
summation in the 4-chamber view. Patients were further stratified into
either having a Vfib/pulseless VT (pVT) event or a PEA arrest/asystole
event. Survival time was measured in days from event to death date.
Kaplan-Meier plots were used to evaluate differences in survival time
for patients based on mean LAVI and RAVI. Results: Of 305 patients
studied (64 +/- 14 years, 37% female (112 out of 305)), 162 had
reliable LAVI measurements with a mean of 34.1 mL/m2 (SD=15.8) and163
had reliable RAVI measurements with a mean of 25.1 mL/m2 (SD=15.5). In
patients who had sustained VFib/pVT, those with reduced LAVI (p=0.045)
and RAVI (p=0.041) values below the mean had significantly improved
survival time. No association was found in PEA/asystole. KM plots of
patient survival for both LAVI and RAVI compared to mean are presented
in figures 1a and 1b. Conclusion: Among patients presenting with a
Vifb/pVT arrest, increased LAVI and RAVI were associated with decreased
survival time.

Establishing a memory-dependent photothermoelastic model according to the dual phase lag model on a cylindrical body rotating in an initial magnetic field
Authors: Zakaria Kadry , Sirwah Magdy , Abouelregal Ahmed , Rashid Ali Farouk
Published: January 2021

This paper deals with the study of photothermoelastic interactions in an
isotropic homogeneous semiconductor solid, using a new model of
generalized thermoelectricity with a memory-dependent derivative of heat
conduction. The plasma and thermal effects study of semiconductor
structures include the simulation of a complex system using simultaneous
analysis of carrier density, thermal waves, and elastic wave equations.
On this topic, there are few research works that have been achieved. To
investigate the problem, Tzou’s generalized theory is employed. The
governing equations of the system are derived based on the dual-phase
lag model (DPL) and the wave equation of coupled plasma. We examined the
transient response of a rotating solid cylinder subjected to the applied
magnetic field and a time-dependent heat flow under the new proposed
model. The analytical expressions for the investigated fields are
derived by using the Laplace transform process and the numerical results
are graphically previewed. A comparison of the numerical results is
provided for various models of thermoelasticity as well as the impact of
memory- dependent derivatives. The effects of rotation, time-delay and
the kernel function are also investigated

Current climate change is disrupting biotic interactions and eroding
biodiversity worldwide. However, species sensitive to drought, high
temperatures and climate variability might persist in microclimatic
refuges, such as leaf shelters built by arthropods. We conducted a
distributed experiment across an 11,790 km latitudinal gradient to
explore how the importance of leaf shelters for terrestrial arthropods
changes with latitude, elevation and underlying climate. Our analyses
revealed leaf shelters to be key facilitative elements for the diversity
of arthropods. Predator diversity and overall biomass within shelters
increased with local drought and temperature variability, regardless of
latitude and elevation. In contrast, shelter usage by herbivores
increased with abundance of predators on those same plants and in wetter
climates. Projected increase in climatic variability and drought in
certain geographic regions is therefore likely to enhance the importance
of biotic refuges, especially for predators, in mitigating the impact of
climate change on species persistence.

Published: January 2021

Rationale: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) is prevalent and consequential in cystic fibrosis (CF). Whole
genome sequencing (WGS) could reveal genomic differences in MRSA
associated with poorer outcomes or detect MRSA transmission.
Objectives: To identify MRSA genes associated with low lung
function and identify potential MRSA transmission in CF.
Methods: We collected 97 MRSA isolates from 74 individuals with
CF from 2017 and performed short-read WGS. We determined sequence type
(ST) and the phylogenetic relationship between isolates. We aligned
accessory genes from 25 reference genomes to genome assemblies. We
classified the MRSA by accessory gene content and correlated the
accessory genome to clinical outcomes. Results: The most
prevalent ST were ST5 (N=55), ST105 (N=14), and ST8 (N=14). Closely
related MRSA strains were shared by family members with CF, but rarely
between unrelated individuals. Three distinct clusters of MRSA were
identified by accessory genome content. The first included ST5 and ST105
strains and was common among older patients with lower
FEV. The second cluster included ST8, which was
generally identified in younger patients. Sputum density of MRSA and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa was higher in cultures from patients with
ST5/ST105 compared to patients with ST8 at similar ages.
Conclusions: In this CF cohort, we identified MRSA subtypes
that predominate at different ages and differ by accessory gene content.
ST5 and ST105 represented the most prevalent cluster of MRSA. ST8 MRSA
was more common in younger patients and thus has the potential to rise
in prevalence as these patients age.
Optimal input filters for iterative learning control systems with additive noises, random delays and data dropouts in both channels
Authors: Huang Lixun , Sun Lijun , Wang Tao , Liu Weihua , Zhang Zhe , Zhang Qiuwen
Published: January 2021

In wireless networked iterative learning control systems, the controller
is separated from the plant, and additive noises, random delays and data
dropouts arise in both sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator
channels. In order to guarantee the convergence performance of such
systems with the effect of these uncertainties, an input filter is
designed based on a proportional iterative learning controller, so that
updated inputs can be filtered at the actuator side. Specifically, two
data transmission processes are first developed to describe the mix of
those uncertainties in both channels by Bernoulli and Gaussian
distributed variables with known distributions. Based on state
augmentation, the two data transmission processes are further combined
with the iterative learning process of controllers to build a unified
filtering model. According to this unified model, an optimal filter is
designed via the projection theory and implemented at the actuator side
to filter the updated inputs in iteration domain. Moreover, the
convergence performance of the filtering error covariance matrix is
proved theoretically. Finally, some numerical results are given to
illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In the research for the development of new drugs for the therapy of American tegumentary leishmaniasis, copper has been studied for its antileishmania activity. This study aims to report the activity of three copper(I) complexes on parasites of the species L. amazonensis and L. guyanensis. The metal complexes were tested according to in vitro antileishmanial assays, against promastigote and amastigote forms of the most prevalent species in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. Cytotoxicity of the complexes was evaluated in murine macrophage-like cell line (MJ774). The results of the in vitro assays indicated that, among the copper complexes tested, the homoleptic phosphine complex [Cu(thp)4][PF6](thp=tris-hydroxymethylphosphine) presented promising activity against the evolutionary forms of L. amazonensis, and obtained a IC50 of  26.45 and 24.61 µM in a period of 48 and 72 h, respectively. The results for copper complex at concentration 160 µM in amastigote forms showed a decrease in the infection index (32% of infected cells) and, in the cytotoxicity assay with MJ774, 52.43% of cell viability was observed. The results showed that the complex [Cu(thp)4][PF6] presented significant biological activity, indicating a need for future in vivo studies.

Published: January 2021

Human rights abuses are the center of every country in the world, as they are the result of their dominance over the weak, or other things like ignorance, lack of law enforcement, etc. And so it is in the world of education, which ought to be a center of understanding and awareness of human rights, through history study. But rather often, human rights abuses come from academic environments such as schools and colleges. The study aims to analyze the implementation of human rights values in history study. The study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach, whereas the data-collecting technique is a document or documentary study instrument. These findings suggest that the study of history has affected the behavior of students that reflect the virtues of human consciousness. Human rights values such as equality and the ban of discrimination (nondiscrimination) are reflected in students after the historical learning process is done, it can be seen both inside and outside the equation. Thus history study alone has significant effects on students, such as mutual respect of opinion, upholding the values of tolerance, cooperation and so forth. The conclusion of the article is that the effectiveness of learning needs to be optimized so that the human rights reflected in every historical event are capable of being thoroughly analyzed and understood by learners, which are then a provision for students to live national and national.

Published: January 2021

This study aims to evaluate “Photo Math” in teaching Elementary Algebra.  Specifically, it aimed to identify the effect of teaching Elementary Algebra with the use of “Photo Math”. To achieved these objectives, the researchers used qualitative, quantitative and experimental design. This was conducted through a separate teaching demo in Elementary Algebra of the two Grade 7 sections. Pre-test was administered before the conduct of the demo and post-test after the teaching demo. The study showed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results of the section with “Photo Math” as intervention. Moreover, there was also a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results of the section without the said application as intervention. However, it showed that there was no significant difference between the two section. The first section showed that there was an effect to the performance of the students when “Photo Math” was applied as teaching tool but it was not fully claimed when compared with the traditional method of teaching. This was because the sample size of the study is small so it was recommended to have a larger number of sample size to see the effect of “Photo Math” in teaching Elementary Algebra. The study implied that Photo math as a teaching tool had an effect on teaching elementary algebra.

Objetividade ética e a morte da ontologia em Putnam
Authors: Igansi Luca Nogueira
Published: January 2021

Rastrearemos a refutação da necessidade de fundamentos ontológicos para teorias éticas de Putnam analisando sua trajetória por autores como Quine, Moore e Wittgenstein. Partiremos do naturalismo epistemológico de Quine para estabelecer sua base coerentista pragmática. Então, investigaremos seu distanciamento da ontologia conforme sua perspectiva wittgensteiniana do conceitualismo mooreano e platônico. Caracterizando Heidegger como alvo primário de sua crítica a uma necessidade de ontologia, afasta-se mesmo de Quine ao abraçar uma relatividade conceitual inspirada na mereologia e em jogos de linguagem para estabelecer a objetividade da ética sem a necessidade de objetos. Por fim, a partir dessa definição, investigaremos a concepção de ética segundo Putnam, fortemente inspirada em Dewey e Aristóteles em diálogo com Levinas e Kant em prol de um “florescimento cognitivo humano”. Sua definição é breve e superficial, todavia clama que tais características sejam necessárias a fim de dar maleabilidade à ética, em contraponto a uma definição rígida e facilmente quebradiça tendo em vista o amplo descordo presente na filosofia moral. Esta flexibilidade não cairia em relativismo absoluto uma vez que preza a razoabilidade e progresso, assim como evitaria doutrinas danosas “anti-florescimento”.

O semiárido pernambucano vem sofrendo com diversos processos de degradação ambiental, devido ao avanço das atividades agrícolas, além da atenuante seca que assola o semiárido brasileiro e o bioma Caatinga. O uso do geoprocessamento diante das técnicas de sensoriamento remoto se destaca pela alta aplicabilidade no monitoramento ambiental, na estimativa de parâmetros biofísicos do balanço de radiação da superfície terrestre. Assim, objetivou-se monitorar e investigar as mudanças ambientais através da modelagem espaço-temporal via sensoriamento remoto com o uso de imagens de satélite, referentes à área de estudo, o município de Arcoverde, localizado no sertão de Pernambuco, semiárido brasileiro. O estudo foi desenvolvido por meio de seis imagens do satélite Landsat, entre o período de 2008 e 2017. Através das imagens foram processados mapas temáticos da superfície, mediante o algoritmo SEBAL (Surface Energy Balance Algorithms for Land), que determinou parâmetros biofísicos como albedo e temperatura da superfície, e saldo de radiação. Os resultados destacaram que os maiores valores do albedo foram verificados em anos climaticamente secos (14/11/2015 e 29/09/2016), com valores médios de 0,22 e 0,20, respectivamente. O dia 14/11/2015 também apresentou o maior valor médio da temperatura, de 47°C, épocas que o saldo de radiação foi menor. O dia 13/11/2009 (ano chuvoso) apresentou o maior valor médio do saldo, de 800 W m-2, tendo maior energia disponível a ser repartida pelos processos do balanço de energia. O aumento do albedo e temperatura da superfície e diminuição do saldo de radiação destacaram mudanças nos usos do solo da região semiárida.

Unfortunately, the nursing home as long term care failed to bring integrative care. This aim of community services is to build integrative care for older people groups in nursing home. The first step to establish integrative care is older people’s mapping regarding their health condition and food management through medical check-up. The activities consist of two steps, which are medical check-up and nutrition education. The result shows older peoples have hypertension, normal blood sugar, mild cognitive condition, and average physical activity. The condition motivate nursing home to organize integrative care with other institutions. In addition, the community services also bring opportunity to regular services, especially to nutrition management and medical check-up.

Network Risk in the European Sovereign CDS Market
Authors:   , Barclays Investment Ban, Todorova Zornitsa
Published: January 2021

This paper applies novel tools from spatial econometrics to measure, quantifyand predict sovereign CDS spreads. Network risk is modelled by making each sovereignísCDS spread a function of the CDS spreads of its ìneighborsî in the Önancial network. Themain Öndings of the paper are: (1) the network model improves forecasting accuracy by 15% to 20%; (2) exogenous Önancial shocks propagate in the network of sovereigns and 40 %to 50% of the total e§ect is due to indirect (network) e§ects.
