Multiracial Individuals and Educational Testing
Authors: Alexander Karen
Published: October 2021

A literature review focused on quantitative measures and methods regarding multiracial individuals and educational testing revealed that multiracial individuals are uniquely different than monoracial individuals in terms of their racial identity and these unique identities interact with test scores. Until recently, this uniqueness has been ignored by institutions and within the field of educational testing. The uniqueness of multiracial identity should be taken into consideration when using test measures to make decisions for selection and when comparing group outcomes. The review provides a brief picture regarding the history of categorization of multiracial individuals and current research which connects the multiracial experience to test score performance, followed by information on data collection, data coding, data analysis, implications, and recommendations. Suggested methods to address the methodological and analytical challenges of how to categorize multiracial individuals for purposes of group comparisons are challenging and frankly, unsatisfying. Yet, there are some clear recommendations such as allowing individuals to check as many racial/ethnic categories that apply to their identity versus forcing a choice of one race or using “Other” as an option. The limited research regarding multiracial individuals and educational tests supports the need for further research in this field.
Analysis of Retention Time and Steam Pressure Variations in the Conditioning Process on the Moisture Content of Feed in the Packaging Process
Authors: Rivai Suhendra F  , Iskandar Isdaryanto
Published: October 2021

Pellets are compressed feed, compacted through a mechanical process. Pellets can be molded in the form of lumps and small cylinders with different diameters, lengths, and levels of strength. The right moisture content value will maximize the quality of the pellets and increase the value of the Pellet Durability Index(PDI). Many factors affect the moisture content in the feed such as changing the steam pressure configuration, adding moisture to the mixing process, changing the retention time configuration, and other methods. The method tested was to provide variations on the configuration of retention time and steam pressure on the Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) which aims to determine the increase in moisture content in the feed. Variations of retention time configuration tested were 50 seconds, 55 seconds, 60 seconds, 65 seconds, 70 seconds with variations in the Steam pressure configuration in the test were 1.4 bar and 1.6 bar. The test results prove that the retention time of 65 seconds with a steam pressure of 1.4 bar is the best configuration with an increase in moisture content of 2.67% with a difference in moisture content of bagging to the mixing of -0.46.

Las luchas sociales y políticas que inician con las reformas políticas de los gobiernos liberales en la década del treinta del siglo pasado, fueron caldo de cultivo de los acontecimientos que se van suceder durante los siguientes años del siglo XX en Colombia. Este artículo conmemora los cien años del nacimiento de Apolinar Díaz Callejas, intelectual y político del Caribe colombiano, a partir una reconstrucción histórica de su trasegar en la vida pública como activista sindical y político, y por supuesto, también de su obra. En el aspecto intelectual se resalta su periodo de formación política y de activista sindical y social. Y en la vida política se menciona el rol que desempeñó para implementación de la reforma agraria promulgada en la ley 135 de 1961, en el gobierno de Alberto Lleras Camargo, y que solo pudo concretarse en parte durante el gobierno de Carlos Lleras Restrepo. Todo, gracias al nombramiento de Apolinar en la gobernación de recién creado departamento de Sucre. De igual modo, se resalta las luchas de este intelectual como congresista en defensa de la reforma agraria y de ser vocero de las necesidades de los municipios del sur del departamento de Sucre, ubicados en las regiones del bajo río San Jorge y Mojana, regiones en ese entonces desconocidas para el país.
Social Influences on the Typographic Medium in the Reformation and Counter-Reformation Period in Bratislava, the Capital of Hungary
Authors: Špániová Marta
Published: October 2021

Over the centuries, the typographic medium and book printing responded to the political, economic, cultural, and social conditions very sensitively. The author deals with social influences on the development of book printing in Bratislava from the fifteenth century when the first printer is documented in the town. She ponders the reasons for the long absence of typographic activities in Bratislava from the late fifteenth century to the early seventeenth century. Paradoxically, the Reformation gave an impetus to the further development of book printing in Bratislava, as a Catholic printing house was established there in direct response to Reformation printing in Hungary. Therefore, the author also examines the conditions of Reformation printing to which the beginnings of publishing activities are tied in the territory of Slovakia. In the second part of the study, she focuses on Catholic Revival literature published in Bratislava in the seventeenth century, which played an important role in implementing Catholic reforms in Hungary.
Aristocratic libraries in Slovakia – status, research, history
Authors: Sibylová Michaela
Published: October 2021

The author has divided her article into two parts. The first part describes the status and research of aristocratic libraries in Slovakia. For a certain period of time, these libraries occupied an underappreciated place in the history of book culture in Slovakia. The socialist ideology of the ruling regime allowed their collections (with a few exceptions) to be merged with those of public libraries and archives. The author describes the events that affected these libraries during and particularly after the end of World War II and which had an adverse impact on the current disarrayed state and level of research. Over the past decades, there has been increased interest in the history of aristocratic libraries, as evidenced by multiple scientific conferences, exhibitions and publications. The second part of the article is devoted to a brief history of the best-known aristocratic libraries that were founded and operated in the territory of today’s Slovakia. From the times of humanism, there are the book collections of the Thurzó family and the Zay family, leading Austro-Hungarian noble families and the library of the bishop of Nitra, Zakariás Mossóczy. An example of a Baroque library is the Pálffy Library at Červený Kameň Castle. The Enlightenment period is represented by the Andrássy family libraries in the Betliar manor and the Apponyi family in Oponice.

Pricing Exotic Options Using Some Lattice Procedures
Authors: Jumana Sadia Anjum , Hossain ABM Shahadat
Published: October 2021

In this work, we discuss some very simple and extremely efficient lattice models, namely, Binomial tree model (BTM) and Trinomial tree model (TTM) for valuing some types of exotic barrier options in details. For both these models, we consider the concept of random walks in the simulation of the path which is followed by the underlying stock price. Our main objective is to estimate the value of barrier options by using BTM and TTM for different time steps and compare these with the exact values obtained by the benchmark Black-Scholes model (BSM). Moreover, we analyze the convergence of these lattice models for these exotic options. All the results have been shown numerically as well as graphically.

Published: October 2021

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan, miten aikuisten maahanmuuttajaopiskelijoiden opettajat ymmärtävät perustaidot ja opiskelutaidot sekä miten he pedagogisoivat perustaitojen opetusta arvioinnin avulla. Perustaitoja ovat luku- ja kirjoitustaidot, numeeriset taidot ja ongelmanratkaisutaidot teknologisesti kehittyneissä ympäristöissä. Aineisto kerättiin opettajien täydennyskoulutuksessa ja se koostuu opettajien laatimista arviointi- ja oppimistehtävistä sekä reflektoinneista. Aineisto analysoitiin teoriaohjaavalla sisällönanalyysilla. Tulosten mukaan täydennyskoulutukseen osallistuneet opettajat näkivät perustaidot usein toisistaan erillisinä eivätkä välttämättä huomioineet aikuisten maahanmuuttajaopiskelijoiden informaaleissa ympäristöissä hankkimia taitoja. Opettajien ymmärrys opiskelijoiden resursseista ja taitojen limittäisyydestä syveni koulutuksessa, ja he rakensivat sen myötä oppimistavoitteita ja -tehtäviä aiempaa funktionaalisemmiksi. Monipuolista oppimista ohjaavaa arviointia oli kuitenkin yhä haastava toteuttaa.

Catastrophic Beasts and How to Study Them: Researching Illicit Financial Activities in International Political Economy
Authors: ATEŞ Ahmet
Published: October 2021

There is relatively less attention to illicit financial activities in the International Political Economy (IPE) studies, and it is quite ambiguous how to study these illicit activities. American IPE’s materialistic nature and state-centric approach miss essential features/relations of these illicit activities because they are neither materialistic nor state-centric. On the other hand, the British school is more suitable than American IPE because of its inclusive and multidisciplinary research and its engagement with real-world situations. However, its normative agenda and its motivation to judge rather than explain can be tricky in researching illicit activities. I argue that Constructivist IPE is the most suitable school because of its dynamism and concepts, namely meaning, cognition, uncertainty, and subjectivity. Utilizing these four concepts, researchers can conduct more detailed and more fruitful analyses regarding illicit financial activities. Showing why the Constructivist IPE is the most suitable school of IPE to research with a case study on tax havens’ status after 9/11, I assert that there should be more research in illicit financial activities in the IPE studies.

The management of post-transplantation recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma
Authors: Rajendran Luckshi , Ivanics Tommy , Claasen Marco PAW , Muaddi Hala , Sapisochin Gonzalo
Published: October 2021

The annual incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continues to rise. Over the last two decades, liver transplantation (LT) has become the preferable treatment of HCC, when feasible and strict selection criteria are met. With the rise in HCC-related LT, compounded by downstaging techniques and expansion of transplant selection criteria, a parallel increase in number of post-transplantation HCC recurrence is expected. Additionally, in the context of an immunosuppressed transplant host, recurrences may behave aggressively and more challenging to manage, resulting in poor prognosis. Despite this, no consensus or best practice guidelines for post-transplantation cancer surveillance and recurrence management for HCC currently exist. Studies with adequate population sizes and high-level evidence are lacking, and the role of systemic and locoregional therapies for graft and extrahepatic recurrences remains under debate. This review seeks to summarize the existing literature on post-transplant HCC surveillance and recurrence management. It highlights the value of early tumour detection, re-evaluating the immunosuppression regimen, and staging to differentiate disseminated recurrence from intrahepatic or extrahepatic oligo-recurrence. This ultimately guides decision-making and maximizes treatment effect. Treatment recommendations specific to recurrence type are provided based on currently available locoregional and systemic therapies.

Authors: Kajander Ann , Valley Matt , Sedor Kelly , Murie Taylor
Published: October 2021

This study describes the work of one high school team in designing, developing, supporting, and field-testing a new course to support numeracy and general learning skills for a particularly diverse population of students. The rationale, curriculum design, and pilot implementation of the course are situated in existing curriculum structures and recent research around best practices in mathematics teaching and learning, particularly with respect to vulnerable students. The study sought to explore the role and responsibilities of the course designer and teacher, as well as her perception of the challenges and benefits of a custom-designed course for this group of students. The results suggested that the crucial role of the classroom teacher in supporting students emotionally when implementing the intended curriculum for vulnerable students cannot be underscored enough. For such students, teacher-student relationships appeared to be the most important factor in student success, far eclipsing other factors.
Projections of wind power density in Pakistan and adjacent regions
Authors: Reboita MS , Kiani RS , Ali S , Khan T
Published: October 2021

This work focuses on the wind energy in Pakistan projected by 3 regional climate models (RCMs), namely COSMO-CLM, REMO and RegCM4, nested in different global climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5. Five time-slices (1995-2014, 2020-�2039, 2040-2059, 2060-2079 and 2080-2099) and 2 scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5) were analyzed. Wind energy studies are based on 2 variables: wind intensity and wind power density (WPD). WPD is a measure of the wind energy produced by turbines installed above the surface, currently at 100 m height. Before computing WPD, a simple bias correction was applied to the model data. Considering all of Pakistan, wind intensity was higher in June, July and August due to the influence of the active phase of the monsoon. In terms of subdomains, higher intense winds were reported in the provinces of Balochistan and Sindh. For the same regions and season, the wind intensity is projected to increase (by ~1-1.5 m s-1), which leads to an increase in WPD of >20% in Bolachistan and 40% in Sindh under RCP8.5. We also project an increase in WPD in the eastern part of the country, but it will not be enough for wind energy generation. Our research findings can be useful for entrepreneur investors in wind energy.
Dynamics of tissue ubiquitin pools and ubiquitin-proteasome pathway component activities during the systemic response to traumatic shock
Authors: Patel MB , Earle SA , Majetschak M
Published: October 2021

Based on the biological significance of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) and its potential role during sepsis, burns and ischemia-reperfusion injury, we hypothesized that the systemic response to traumatic shock (TS) is accompanied by tissue-specific UPP alterations. Therefore, we studied tissue ubiquitin pools, chymotryptic- and tryptic-like proteasome peptidase activities and ubiquitin-protein ligation (UbPL) rates in skeletal muscle, heart, lung, liver, spleen and kidney using a clinically relevant porcine model (bilateral femur fracture/hemorrhage followed by fluid resuscitation). TS induced a systemic reduction of tissue-specific high molecular mass ubiquitin-protein conjugates (>50 kDa). Free ubiquitin was unaffected. The dynamic organ patterns of ubiquitin pools paralleled the typical physiological response to TS and resuscitation. Reduction of ubiquitin-protein conjugates was most pronounced in heart and lung (p<0.05 vs. control) and accompanied by significant increases in proteasome peptidase and UbPL activities in these organs. Unlike all other tissues, spleen proteasome peptidase and UbPL activities were significantly reduced 10 h after TS. These findings support the concept that the UPP could play an important role in regulation of cell functions during the early whole-body response to TS. The UPP might be a therapeutic target to improve the metabolic care after TS, particularly in the heart, lung, and spleen.
Effect of certain immunosuppressants on non-specific immunity cells in murine corneal grafts: study on early phases after transplantation
Authors: Bysterská P , Svozílková P , Farghali H
Published: October 2021

The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of FK506, mycophenolate mofetil (MM) and aminoguanidine (AMG) on infiltration of macrophages (MPHs), neutrophils (NPHs) and dendritic cells (DC) into corneal grafts during the early phases after transplantation (Tx). Tx was performed in mice (C57BL/10 to BALB/c). Therapy included FK506 (0.2 mg/kg), MM (30 mg/kg) or AMG (0.1 g/kg), started at the day of Tx and was injected i.p. daily. Corneas were excised on the third and seventh day after Tx. Immunohistological evaluation using antibodies against MPHs, NPHs and DC was performed and corneal grafts were assessed in the periphery and in central part of the cornea separately. On the third day after Tx, a massive infiltration of MPHs and NPHs into corneal grafts was revealed; the DC infiltration was lower in all treated groups. Treatment with FK506 and MM led to a significant reduction of NPHs in the centers of the grafts, but not of MPHs. In contrast, AMG significantly reduced MPHs migration into allografts on the third day after Tx, whereas NPHs infiltration has not been attenuated. However, immunosuppressants had no influence on the infiltration of DC during early phases after Tx.

Published: October 2021

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of chronic crowding on the cardiovascular system of Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Rats were randomly divided into the control (480 cm(2) per rat) or crowded (200 cm(2) per rat) group for eight weeks. Body weight, blood pressure (BP), heart rate and plasma nitrate/nitrite levels of the crowded rats were not different from controls at the end of the experiment. Plasma corticosterone exhibited an increasing trend (5.7+/-1.8 vs. 12.6+/-3.7 ng/ml, p=0.08) while blood glucose was significantly reduced in the crowded rats in comparison with the controls. Nitric oxide (NO) synthase activity and nitrate/nitrite levels of the crowded rats were significantly elevated in the aorta by 80 % and 20 %, respectively, but unchanged in the left ventricle. Moreover, acetylcholine-induced relaxation was significantly increased in the crowded rats in both the femoral artery (61+/-5 % vs. 76+/-5 %, p<0.001) and mesenteric artery (51+/-6 % vs. 72+/-7 %, p<0.001). In conclusion, results suggest that chronic crowding may increase vasorelaxation and vascular NO production in normotensive rats. This may be considered as an adapting mechanism preventing the development of the stress-related elevation of BP. Additionally, results also suggest caution in the housing of rats because an inappropriate crowding may affect results of the experiment significantly.

Risk-oriented economic control and supervisory activity (CSA) consists in the fact that the objects of the economy under the supervision and control of the state are differentiated by the degree of probability of causing harm to human life and health, as well as material damage to the environment. The reform of the legislation affected the existing system of the CSA, including the procedure for implementing the CSA. Thus, the priority in conducting the CSA is directed towards measures to prevent violations and provide guarantees to economic entities in interaction with employees of executive authorities. The existing methodology for assessing the efficiency of the activities of executive authorities, to assess efficiency activities of executive authorities in terms of the efficiency of budget spending, trends in indicators of living standards, social and economic development of the region, as well as the degree of implementation of methods and principles of management at on level. At the moment, there is a need to develop indicators that characterize the efficiency of a particular executive authority, including the field of ensuring technosphere security. To select the indicators that characterize the efficiency of the activity, first of all, it is necessary to select the goals that the activities of the executive authority are aimed at.

Wilms tumor gene (WT1) is used as a marker for the diagnosis and prognosis of ovarian cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms involving WT1 in ovarian cancer require further study. Herein, we used bioinformatics and other methods to identify important pathways and hub genes in ovarian cancer affected by WT1. The results showed that WT1 is highly expressed in ovarian cancer and is closely related to the overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) of ovarian cancer. In ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3, WT1 downregulation increased the mRNA expression of 638 genes and decreased the mRNA expression of 512 genes, which were enriched in the FoxO, AMPK, and the Hippo signaling pathways. The STRING online tool and Cytoscape software were used to construct a Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and for Module analysis, and 18 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were selected. Kaplan-Meier plotter analysis revealed that 16 of 18 genes were related to prognosis. Analysis of GEPIA datasets indicated that 7 of 16 genes were differentially expressed in ovarian cancer tissues and in normal tissues. The expression of IGFBP1 and FBN1 genes increased significantly after WT1 interference, while the expression of the SERPINA1 gene decreased significantly. The correlation between WT1 expression and that of these three genes was consistent with that of ovarian cancer tissues and normal tissues. According to the GeneMANIA online website analysis, there were complex interactions between WT1, IGFBP1, FBN1, SERPINA1, and 20 other genes. In conclusion, we have identified important signaling pathways involving WT1 that affect ovarian cancer, and distinguished three differentially expressed genes regulated by WT1 associated with the prognosis of ovarian cancer. Our findings provide evidence outlining mechanisms involving WT1 gene expression in ovarian cancer and provides a rational for novel treatment of ovarian cancer.
Glucocorticoid-Responsive Transcription Factor Krüppel-Like Factor 9 Regulates fkbp5 and Metabolism

Published: October 2021

Krüppel-like factor 9 (Klf9) is a feedforward regulator of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling. Here we show that in zebrafish klf9 is expressed with GR-dependent oscillatory dynamics in synchrony with fkbp5, a GR target that encodes a negative feedback regulator of GR signaling. We found that fkbp5 transcript levels are elevated in klf9–/– mutants and that Klf9 associates with chromatin at the fkbp5 promoter, which becomes hyperacetylated in klf9–/– mutants, suggesting that the GR regulates fkbp5 via an incoherent feedforward loop with klf9. As both the GR and Fkbp5 are known to regulate metabolism, we asked how loss of Klf9 affects metabolic rate and gene expression. We found that klf9–/– mutants have a decreased oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and upregulate glycolytic genes, the promoter regions of which are enriched for potential Klf9 binding motifs. Our results suggest that Klf9 functions downstream of the GR to regulate cellular glucocorticoid responsivity and metabolic homeostasis.
A Test of Three Models of Character Reversal in Typically Developing Children’s Writing
Authors: Fischer Jean-Paul , Luxembourger Christophe
Published: October 2021

Multisensory learning to read involves, to a large extent, learning to write. A major problem in the initial teaching of handwriting is preventing children from producing reversed letters, especially when the reversed letters are identical to other letters. Torres et al. (2021) offer an efficient method for remediating this problem. Here, we analyze the reversals in their writing data, obtained on Brazilian first-graders (Mage= 6.0 years). Surprisingly, this analysis led to the observation that the first graders almost systematically reverse both the letters b and d in the particular copying conditions (the students look at one letter at a time for 3 s, then immediately after they had to write it while blindfolded). We first describe succinctly and discuss three models susceptible to account for reversal writing, with the aim to question their capacity of account for the curious observation just mentioned. The three models respectively attribute a major role to 1) initial (perceptive) mirror equivalence, 2) intra-hemispheric transfer, 3) orientation of the letters. Because none of the three models examined accounts convincingly for the observation, we accommodated and specified Model 2, adding also a major idea of Model 3. The resulting model assumes that the mirror-letter reversed image representation (b for d and vice-versa) is strongly activated in the right cerebral hemisphere, and that the top-down processes originating from this hemisphere were exacerbated by the eyes closed condition. Of course, this post-hoc and speculative model should be tested in other conditions and with other children.

The implementation climate is the shared reception of the individuals involved in the intervention; it is a fundamental determinant of the success of program implementation. One of the factors that affects the implementation climate is gender, since it can influence the commitment of the participants toward sexuality education. This study aims to identify the implementation climate for students who receive a school sexuality education program and explore whether their gender is related to the acceptance of the intervention. A selective quantitative method was used, and a survey was designed to measure implementation climate. A confirmation factorial analysis (CFA) using Mplus 7.0 was conducted to establish the structure of the instrument. A cluster analysis was performed to determine levels of implementation climate. To measure the association between participants’ gender and the implementation climate, a Chi-square analysis was performed between each cluster, the gender of the students and each cluster and the type of school (single-sex girls’ schools, single-sex boys’ schools and co-educational schools). The results demonstrated four levels of implementation climate: acceptance, receptivity, conflict and rejection. Significant differences were observed in the relationship between these levels and the gender of the participants. Acceptance was associated with single-sex girls’ schools and female students, conflict and rejection were associated with a single-sex boys’ schools and male students, and co-educational schools were associated with conflict. This shows that there is a relationship between the different levels of the implementation climate and the gender.
