Bridging SoTL and Open Educational Resources/Practices (OER/P) Through Tagore’s Southern Theory in the Era of a Pandemic
Authors: Bayaga Anass
Published: December 2022

In recent times, while Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and pedagogy enabled by open educational resources/practices (OER/P-enabled pedagogy) have become paramount in higher education, both have hardly been addressed jointly. Given that both aim to adopt, share, and reuse open resources by lecturers and their students in higher education institutions, it would have been expected that both are conjointly used to enhance student learning instead of being used separately. Additionally, while studies are ongoing from different theoretical stances, SoTL and OER/P-enabled pedagogy research are considered separately. Consequently, and through systematic review, the current study aims at bridging SoTL and OER/P-enabled pedagogy through Tagore’s southern theory in the era of a pandemic in the educational setting.
Tagore’s southern theory can demonstrate and explain the tacit linkage between SoTL via OER/P. Accordingly, Tagore’s southern theory should be used in broadening and deepening our understanding and thus serve as a guiding principle to approach SoTL and OER/P-enabled pedagogy conjointly. One key implication is that while it is important to conceptualize the global design of teaching and learning, it is vitally important to take account of local histories. Thus, the culturally entrenched connotations and interpretations for inclusive education can be addressed by employing both SoTL and OER/P-enabled pedagogy simultaneously. The hope is that the research assists in grounding the future of SoTL via OER/P-enabled pedagogy exploration.

Authors: Schambeck sf Mirjam
Published: December 2022

Anfang der 1970er hatte Erich Feifel die Produktivität in der Theoriebildung zum Religionsunterricht und v. a. die äußerst kreative Ausarbeitung unterschiedlicher Konzeptionen des Religionsunterrichts mit einem Karussell verglichen. Ein ähnliches Bild legt sich nahe, um die vielen, in den letzten knapp 15 Jahren hervorgebrachten Modellierungen religionskooperativer Formate des Religionsunterrichts zu beschreiben. Sie alle reagieren auf religionsdemographische, bildungspolitische und religionspädagogisch gebotene Veränderungen. Im Beitrag werden diese Druckverhältnisse analysiert, um von da aus verschiedene Modellierungen religionskooperativer Formate des Religionsunterrichts in systematisierender Absicht zu vergleichen und deren Gemeinsamkeiten und Spezifika in den Blick zu nehmen.
The Changes of Settlement Types in the Kajang Area: from Segmentary Society to Chiefdoms
Authors: Erawati Erni
Published: December 2022

This study aims to reveal the current type of community in Kajang area based on social structure, politics, economy, technology, as well as ideology. Kajang area is a traditional region located on the hill sides of Bone Bay Sea shore in the District of Kajang, Bulukumba, South Sulawesi Province. To pursue the aim of this study, descriptive qualitative method is used. The results show that historically, in order to overcome the limitations of facilities and infra structure, communities in Kajang reached other regions either by land or water. Thus, there are various artifacts from megalithic and Islamic cultures indicating the existence of local cultural syncretism with the culture from other regions. All of the artifacts found in Kajang area are bound in a functional fabric, which is limited by the level of supporting human activities, namely community protection activities, religious and ceremonial activities, as well ashousehold activities. Besides, relics found also indicate that there was a cultural shift in Kajang region, from agrarian culture to maritime one. Thus, the current type of community in Kajang area can be considered to be shifted from segmentary society to chiefdom. Nevertheless, this does not mean that with the emergence of chiefdoms, the segmentary society has simply disappeared.
Reading Spatial Governmentality, Understanding Mentality of Violence in Lampuki, Puya ke Puya, and Dawuk
Authors: Widiawati Harfiyah , Budianta Melani , Budiman Manneke
Published: December 2022

Post-Reform Indonesian novels such as Lampuki by Arafat Nur, Dari Puya ke Puya by Faisal Oddang, and Dawuk by Mahfud Ikhwan critically question the problem of governmentality, inviting us to ponder upon how works of literature formulate a social change in terms of state crisis, economic uncertainty, and other instabilities. The theme of spatial governmentality in the form of conflicts due to land appropriation/acquisition and land use, shows the dynamic of power, spread to various state and non-state actors with diverse interests. This paper analyzes how spatial governmentality embodies itself in the narrative structure of the three novels in order to eventually scrutinize how power implicates structural violence.  The discourse on governmentality frequently uses benign jargon such as progress, development, modernity; while in fact it is a process full of structural violence, often involving the deprivation of marginalized people’s land and livelihood. The change in spatial form, followed by economic and social transformation, enables those in power to dominate the circle of production and deprive the right to live through the limitation/closing of access to modality, i.e. the land as source of livelihood.

Authors: Nurhidayah Ikeu
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Health problems caused by thalassemia disease process and treatment affect patients who suffer from this disease, including pediatric patients who are in their preschool age. These problems can interfere with the child's physical, emotional, social, and school functions. This study aimed to describe the quality of life of preschool-age children with thalassemia major in Sumedang and Garut areas.
Methods: In this study, a quantitative descriptive design was applied to a sample of 63 parents of children with 3-6 years old children with thalassemia who were recruited using the total sampling approach. The quality of life as a variable was measured using the PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic Core Scales for parent-proxy reports. Data collected were then analyzed for the mean score and categorized into good or poor quality of life, which were then expressed in frequencies and percentages.
Results: Results showed that the mean score of quality of life was 75.94, with the mean scores for physical function, emotional function, social function, and school function of 75.79, 71.98, 87.46, and 60.95, respectively. The majority of preschool-age children with thalassemia have poor quality of life. The dimension that receives the most negative influence is the school function.
Conculusion: It is suggested that nurses can improve the quality of life of these children by identifying the impaired functions and providing the appropriate care, such as facilitating the needs of these children to receive blood transfusions in hospitals.

Home-Range Size and Space Use of Territorial Bonelli’s Eagles (Aquila fasciata) Tracked by High-Resolution GPS/GSM Telemetry
Authors: Morollón Sara , Urios Vicente , López-López Pascual
Published: December 2022

High-resolution GPS/GSM dataloggers provide spatial information of the highest quality, which outperform previous tracking methods, such as Argos telemetry or conventional VHF ground-tracking. As a result, this has improved our knowledge of home-range behavior and spatial ecology of many species, including large raptors. In this paper, we use high-resolution GPS/GSM dataloggers to assess the home-range size and the role of sex, season (breeding or non-breeding season), and breeding status (reproductive or non-reproductive individuals) on the space use of Bonelli’s eagle (Aquila fasciata). To this end, 51 territorial individuals (25 females and 26 males) were equipped with GPS/GSM transmitters and were tracked over 7 years (2015–2021) in eastern Spain. Overall, we recorded 4,791,080 fixes that were analyzed through kernel density methods (50%, 75%, and 95% fixed kernels). The average individual home-range size according to the 95%, 75%, and 50% kernels was 54.84 ± 20.78 km2, 24.30 ± 10.18 km2, and 11.17 ± 4.90 km2, respectively. Overall, the home-range size of individuals occupying the same territory was similar, mainly due to the cooperative hunting behavior exhibited by the species. We did not find interannual differences in the home-range size (95% fixed kernel) of the majority of individuals, showing a strong territorial fidelity of the breeding pairs. In general, females’ home-range size was slightly smaller than males’ size due to the decrease in activity in the breeding season as a result of laying, incubation, and chick attendance at nests. No seasonal variation in the 95% kernel was found, but it was found in the 75% and 50% kernels. In regard to the breeding status, higher home-range size was recorded in the non-reproductive individuals. Moreover, we found a low neighbor overlap among the territories (4.18% ± 3.06%), which evidences a high level of intraspecific competition in the Bonelli’s eagle. Finally, this study highlights the advantages of the use of accurate telemetry information to improve our understanding of the spatial ecology of the endangered Bonelli’s eagle, which ultimately will serve to better inform management actions for its conservation.

Published: December 2022

The transcriptional coactivators YAP (Yes-associated protein) and TAZ (transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif) are the main downstream effectors of the evolutionary conserved Hippo signaling pathway. YAP/TAZ is implicated in the transcriptional regulation of target genes that are involved in a wide range of key biological processes affecting tissue homeostasis and play dual roles in the aging process depending on cellular and tissue context. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether pharmacological inhibitors of Yap/Taz may increase the lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster. qRT-PCR was performed to measure the changes in the expression level of Yki (Yorkie, the Drosophila homolog of YAP/TAZ) target genes. We have revealed a lifespan increasing effect of YAP/TAZ inhibitors that was mostly associated with decreased expression level of wg and E2f1 genes. However further analysis is required to understand how YAP/TAZ pathway is linked with aging.

Quorum Planted Motif Discovery and Motif Finding Using S2f and Fff Algorithms
Authors: sivarajan THEEPALAKSHMI , reddy SrinivasuluReddy
Published: December 2022

A comprehensive understanding of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) is a key problem in contemporary biology, which is a critical issue in gene regulation. In the process of identifying a pattern of TFBSs in every DNA sequence, motif discovery reveals the basic regulatory relationship and compassionate the evolutionary system of every species. In this case, however, it is a challenge to recognize the high-quality motif ( ℓ , d) . We intend to address the above problem to the motif discovery and the motif finding using approximate qPMS algorithms such as S2F (Segmentation to Filtration) and FFF (Firefly with FREEZE). To this end, whole DNA sequences are segmented in two sections where the first part is sliced by base and sub k-mers , and the motif is calculated based on the accuracy. The motif that is recognized in the first portion is given as an input to the FFF algorithm to identify the TFBSs locations in the second portion. The algorithm performance is tested on both simulated and real datasets. In particular, real datasets like Escherichia coli cyclic AMP receptor protein(CRP), mouse Embryonic Stem Cell (mESC), and human species ChIP-seq dataset are explored. Results from the experiments show that S2F and FFF algorithms can identify the motifs and appear faster compared to previous state-of-the-art PMS and QPMS algorithms.
Biomechanical Study of the Stiffness of the Femoral Locking Compression Plate of an External Fixator for Lower Tibial Fractures
Authors: Su Huan , Zhong Siyang , Ma Tianyong , Wu Weidong , Lu Yihong , Wang Dewei
Published: December 2022

Background: A locking compression plate (LCP) of the distal femur is used as an external fixator for lower tibial fractures. However, in clinical practice, the technique lacks a standardized approach and a strong biomechanical basis for its stability.
Methods: In this paper, internal tibial LCP fixator (Group IT-44), external tibial LCP fixator (Group ET-44), external distal femoral LCP fixator (Group EF-44, group EF-33, group EF-22), and conventional external fixator frame (Group CEF-22) were used to fix the unstable fracture models of the lower tibial segment, and anatomical studies were performed to standardize the operation as well as to assess the biomechanical stability and adjustability of the distal femoral LCP external fixator by biomechanical experiments.
Results: It was found that the torsional and flexural stiffness of the group EF-44 and group EF-33 were better than those of the group IT-44 and group ET-44 (p<0.05); the flexural stiffness of the group EF-22 was similar to that of the group IT-44 (p>0.05); and the compressive stiffness of all three EF groups was better than that of the group ET-44 (p<0.05). In addition, the flexural and compressive stiffnesses of the three EF groups decreased with the decrease in the number of screws (p<0.05), while the torsional stiffnesses of the three groups did not differ significantly between the two adjacent groups (p>0.05). In the last point, the group ET-44 had the worst stability (P<0.05).
Conclusions: The study shows that the distal femoral LCP has good biomechanical stability and adjustability, and it is superior to the tibial LCP as an external fixator for distal tibial fractures, as long as the technique is used in a standardized manner according to the anatomical studies in this article.

Published: December 2022

Background: Drastic increases in the rates of maternal depression and anxiety have been reported since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Most programs aim to improve maternal mental health or parenting skills separately, despite it being more effective to target both concurrently. The Building Emotional Awareness and Mental health (BEAM) program was developed to address this gap. BEAM is a mobile health program aiming to mitigate the impacts of pandemic stress on family well-being. Since many family agencies lack infrastructure and personnel to adequately treat maternal mental health concerns, a partnership will occur with Family Dynamics (a local family agency) to address this unmet need. The study’s objective is to examine the feasibility of the BEAM program when delivered with a community partner to inform a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT).
Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial will be conducted with mothers who have depression and/or anxiety with a child 6-18 months old living in Manitoba, Canada. Mothers will be randomized to the 10 weeks of the BEAM program or a standard of care. Back-end App data (collected via Google Analytics and Firebase) will be used to examine feasibility, engagement, and accessibility of the BEAM program; cost-effectiveness will also be examined. Implementation elements (e.g., maternal depression [Patient Health Questionnaire-9] and anxiety [Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7]) will be piloted to estimate the effect size and variance for future sample size calculations.
Discussion: In partnership with a local family agency, BEAM holds the potential to promote maternal-child health via a cost-effective and easily accessible program designed to scale. Results will provide insight into the feasibility of the BEAM program and will inform future RCTs of the BEAM program.
Trial Registration: This trial was retrospectively registered with ClinicalTrial.gov (NCT05398107) on May 31st, 2022. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05398107

Background
Co-production is an umbrella term used to describe the process of generating knowledge by bringing together researchers and those who will use research to work in partnership. Multiple benefits of research co-production have been hypothesized, and in some cases documented, in the academic and practice record. However, there are significant gaps in understanding how to evaluate the quality of co-production designs, processes, and results. This gap in knowledge undermines the value of co-production and co-producers.
Methods
Our research tests the relevance and utility of a novel research co-production evaluation framework: Research Quality Plus for Co-Production (RQ + 4 Co-Pro). Following a co-production approach ourselves, members of our team collaborated to develop study objectives, questions, analysis and results sharing strategies. We used a dyadic field-test design to simulate RQ + 4 Co-Pro evaluations amongst 18 independently recruited subject matter experts. We used standardized reporting templates and qualitative interviews to collect data from field-test participants, and thematic analysis and deliberative dialogue to analysis and interpret results.
Results
The field test surfaced unanimous support for the relevance and utility of RQ + 4 Co-Pro. Research participants shared opportunities for fine-tuning language and criteria within the prototype version, but also, for alternative uses and users of RQ + 4 Co-Pro. This data facilitated our deliberative revision and publication herein of a field-tested RQ + 4 Co-Pro Framework and Assessment Instrument.
Conclusion
Evaluation is necessary for understanding and improving co-production, and, for ensuring co-production delivers on its promise of better health, health equity, and general public good. RQ + 4 Co-Pro provides an immediately practical evaluation tool, and we invite co-producers and stewards of co-production – including the funders, publishers, and universities who increasingly claim to encourage socially relevant research – to adapt and experiment with RQ + 4 Co-Pro in their contexts.

COVID-19 has seriously threatened public health and transdermal vaccination is an effective way to prevent pathogen infection. Microneedles (MN) can damage the stratum corneum for passive diffusion of vaccine macromolecules but the delivery efficiency is low, while iontophoresis can actively promote transdermal delivery but fails to transport vaccine macromolecules due to the barrier of stratum corneum. Herein, we developed a wearable iontophoresis-driven MN patch and its iontophoresis-driven device for active and efficient transdermal vaccine macromolecules delivery. Polyacrylamide/chitosan hydrogels with good biocompatibility, excellent conductivity, high elasticity and large loading capacity were prepared as the key component for vaccine storage and active iontophoresis. The transdermal vaccine delivery strategy of the iontophoresis-driven MN patch is: “press and poke, iontophoresis-driven delivery, and immune response”. We demonstrated that the synergistic effect of MN puncture and iontophoresis could significantly promote the transdermal vaccine delivery efficiency. In vitro experiments showed that the transdermal delivery amount of ovalbumin using iontophoresis-driven MN patch could be controlled by the iontophoresis current. In vivo immunization studies of Balb/c mice demonstrated that transdermal inoculation of ovalbumin using iontophoresis-driven MN patch induced an effective immune response, which was even stronger than that traditional intramuscular injection. Moreover, the iontophoresis-driven MN patch had little biosafety concern. This delivery system is low-cost, user-friendly, and active delivery that shows a great potential in vaccine self-administration at home.
Global Trends in Research on extracorporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT) from 2000 to 2021
Authors: Zhang Xinyu , Ma Yuewen
Published: December 2022

Background: This study intended to analyze the application of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in medicine and to evaluate the quality of related literature.
Methods: All publications were extracted from 2000 to 2021 from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). The literature characteristics were depicted by VOSviewer (version 1.6.15) and the online bibliometric website (http://bibliometric.com/). The future trends and hotspots were conducted by Bibliographic Item Co-occurrence Matrix Builder (version 2.0) and gCLUTO software.
Results: We analyzed 1774 articles corresponding to the criteria for ESWT publications from 2000 to 2021. Most studies were conducted within the United States and China which besides have the most cooperation. The most published research institutions are Chang Gung University, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, and Kaohsiung Medical University. JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC RESEARCH, AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SPORTS MEDICINE, and JOURNAL OF SURGICAL RESEARCH are the top three most-cited journals. The keyword cluster analysis divides the 30 keywords with the highest frequency into 6 clusters.
Conclusions: With the gradual increase of research on ESWT, we find that ESWT is used more and more extensively, such in musculoskeletal disease, bone delay union, neurological injury, andrology disorders, lymphedema, and so on. In addition, the mechanism is not destructive damage, as initially thought, but a restorative treatment. Furthermore, delayed union, cellulite, burn, and diabetic foot ulcers may be the future direction of scientific study.

Published: December 2022

Background
Healthy diet and physical activity self-management is important in maintaining weight loss and preventing weight regain after bariatric surgery. We aimed at evaluating covariates of healthy diet and physical activity self-management among patients undergone bariatric surgery using Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model.
Method
In this cross-sectional study, 272 patients with history of bariatric surgery were selected from data registry of Tehran Obesity Treatment Study (TOTS). Data were collected using bariatric surgery self-management standard questionnaire (BSSQ), and items based on HAPA model for healthy diet and physical activity self-management. Data were analyzed using Path analysis and AMOS version 24.
Results
The mean score of self-management was (32 ± 10SD). Coping planning construct (β = 0.22; p < 0.001) and risk perception (β = 0.02; p < 0.01) in dietary self-management and action planning (β = 0.16; p = 0.001) and risk perception (β = 0.001; p = 0.17) in physical activity self-management had the highest and lowest effect powers, respectively. Coping planning (β = 0.22; p < 0.001) and action planning (β = 0.17; p < 0.03) in diet, and action planning (β = 0.16; p = 0.010) in physical activity were significantly related to self-management. Also, task-coping self-efficacy (β = 0.28; and p < 0.001), outcome expectancies (β = 0.37; p < 0.001), risk perception (β = 0.13; p = 0.015) in diet and coping self-efficacy (β = 0.50; p < 0.001), outcome expectancies (β = 0.12; p = 0.021) in physical activity were significantly related to behavioral intention. The values of CFI = 0.939 and RMSEA = 0.052 for diet and CFI = 0.948 and RMSEA = 0.048 for physical activity indicated adequate fit.
Conclusion
HAPA was applicable as a framework for interventions promoting healthy diet and physical activity self-management in patients who undergone bariatric surgery.

Mimicking the interconvertible carbon allotropes of 2-dimensional (2D) graphene and 1-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes, herein we report the in-situ transformation of 2D conjugated covalent organic frameworks (COFs) sheet into 1D nanotubular structures via self-assembly the sheets at solvent interfaces. The facile “roll-the sheets” self-assembly resulted in coaxial nanotubes with uniform cross-sectional diameter, which was realized for aza-pyrene based COF instead of pyrene COF, although both possess very similar chemical structure. Upon replacing the carbon atoms at 2,7-positions of pyrene with nitrogen, contrasting optical and electronic properties was realized reflecting the rolled structure of the conjugated 2D sheets. The nanotubes exhibited semiconducting nature with stable conducting pathways at ambient conditions. The aza centers act as the point for charge carrier doping as evident from the photoconductivity and electrical conductivity results.
