SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING CURRICULUM: STUDENTSâ€™ PERSPECTIVES OF UNIVERSITY LEARNING EXPERIENCES
Authors: Mohamad Nasri Nurfaradilla , Halim Lilia , Abd Talib Mohamad Asyraf
Published: February 2021

Purpose - Self-directed learning (SDL) requires students to be active throughout their learning process by deciding and finding their own learning objectives, learning strategies and various learning opportunities as well as learning resources. This study, which investigates the university studentsâ€™ perspectives of university learning experiences, aims to shed light on the extent university ecosystemâ€™s support and ensure the effectiveness of SDL implementation.   Methodology - Twenty Malaysian public university students were interviewed to obtain their views on SDL, and to explore their SDL experiences. A constructivist grounded theory approach was used to inform the methodological and analytical framework of this study. A â€˜backward-and-forwardâ€™ approach was used to analyse the interview data.   Findings - The findings suggest that abundant university curriculum could potentially inhibit SDL, yet majority of university students acknowledge that SDL can support their lifelong learning journey, and prepare them to be skilful workers. Most research participants suggest that SDL moves beyond educator-designed learning strategies to a type of learning where freedom in learning becomes priority.    Significance - As the mastery of SDL skills is very important to ensure that the students are competent in facing real world challenges, this study suggests that for effective implementation of SDL, both students and educators should acknowledge their roles as equal learning partners.

Authors: Sun Poi Hun , Lee Sek Yan
Published: February 2021

Purpose â€“ Given the importance of quality assurance and enhancement of curriculum in a higher education institution, it is vital to have a systematic process to measure studentsâ€™ performance objectively and effectively for continuous improvement in the programme/curriculum. The purpose of this study is to analyse the process of setting up an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) system in a business school of a private higher education institution in Malaysia. The importance and challenges of the OBE system are discussed, while some recommendations for common issues are suggested.   Methodology â€“ Document analyses and observations were conducted on ten undergraduate programmes in the business school of a private higher education institution, from 2015 to 2019. These mechanisms are to assess and discuss the processes needed in implementing OBE; while the importance and challenges of having an OBE system in the business school are included.   Findings â€“ To have a smooth-running process of implementing an OBE system, proper planning needs to be in place. Data from the OBE system and its utilisation are essential to ensure continuous quality improvement to the curriculum and to give assurance to relevant stakeholders about the quality of graduates. There are several steps that are discussed in this paper to give pointers and guidance to other education institutions in setting up of the OBE process. However, it is undeniable that investment of time and effort is needed to ensure the smooth-running of the OBE establishment and maintenance.   Significance â€“ This study is essential to provide a guideline to relevant parties in setting up an OBE system in education institutions. An OBE system is needed to measure studentsâ€™ performance objectively and effectively while enriching studentsâ€™ learning experiences. This study will give pointers to the management of the education institution, policy makers, accrediting bodies and academics on implementing an OBE system in the education institutions.

Published: February 2021

The research aims to review literatures and discuss regarding the myths and simulacra of homecoming. The research conducted is normative research or study literature, using a variety of literature (a semiotic approach) that discusses regarding myths, simulacras and simulations. This semiotic approach is used with based on the idea that the notion of myth in this study using the understanding of myth according to Barthes's view of the myth as semiological system of the second order (simulacra) of Baudrillard. Homecoming can be understood as a need for social existence and human legitimacy. Re-growth of existence in a society carrying out homecoming can be done by understanding the characteristics of the homecoming perceived by society. This respect or social legitimacy is usually explained because of positive word of mouth for being an urbanity. By understanding the homecoming’s character perceived by society, the need for existence through “mudik” can put into other activities so that people carry out to a more rational homecoming regularly. Because the research is in the from of literature and qualitative study, it is necessary to carry out further research on public perceptions regarding homecoming by considering cultural or ethnic factors, and also favorable behavioral intentions consisting of positive word of mouth.

Authors: Pasaribu Erika , Fitri Rahma Fridayana
Published: February 2021

Prinsip-prinsip sirkumsisi adalah asepsis, eksisi yang memadai dari lapisan kulit preputial luar dan dalam, hemostasis, perlindungan glans dan uretra, dan kosmesis. Tujuannya untuk mengekspos glans yang cukup untuk mencegah phimosis atau paraphimosis. Teknik sirkumsisi yang lazim digunakan seperti teknik konvensional (dengan menggunakan pisau dan gunting), maupun teknik sirkumsisi dengan menggunakan electro cauter (kauterisasi). Tingginya minat masyarakat dalam melakukan sirkumsisi dengan menggunakan teknik electrocauter semakin besar karena dipercaya cepat sembuh daripada dengan sirkumsisi dengan teknik konvensional. Oleh karena itu penelitian dilakukan untuk menilai perbandingan kecepatan penyembuhan luka sirkumsisi dengan teknik konvensional dan electrocauter. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah uji independen sample T-Test tidak berpasangan pada acara pengabdian masyarakat khitanan massal di Radio Indah Suara kecamatan Perbaungan. Besar sampel 144 orang (72 orang dilakukan sirkumsisi dengan teknik konvensional dan 72 orang dengan teknik electrocauter) yang memenuhi kriteria. Adapun tingkat penyembuhan luka dinilai dari fase inflamasi, proliferasi dan maturasi, secara makroskopis pada hari ke-6. Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa rata-rata penyembuhan luka lebih cepat pada teknik sirkumsisi electro cauter (kauterisasi) yaitu 6.71 hari dibandingkan dengan rata-rata penyembuhan luka pada teknik sirkumsisi konvensional yaitu 7.25 hari dengan nilai Sig.(2-tailed) 0,05 yaitu 0.021. Kecepatan penyembuhan luka sirkumsisi dengan teknik kauter lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan teknik konvensional karena dapat mencapai hemostasis yang lebih baik, dan lebih disukai karena memperpendek prosedur dan mengurangi masalah perdarahan dengan pemakaiannya. Namun, dalam penelitian klinis sulit menemukan data tentang kecepatan penyembuhan luka sirkumsisi dengan analisis histopatologis

Laughter Filled the Space
Authors: McCracken Krista , Hogan Skylee-Storm
Published: February 2021

This article offers a view of decolonialized approaches to archival spaces and insight into community centered constructions of space. By addressing perceptions of space and the physicality of where archives are accessed, this piece focuses on the emotional, physical, and intellectual barriers that are associated with archival information. The authors address the numerous facets of physical archival spaces, including but not limited to physical seating, wall colours, and sounds within a space. The authors highlight the differences between Euro-centric settler archives and Indigenous community archival spaces as a way to provide models for decolonialized approaches to creating archival space.
A Weapon and a Tool
Authors: Sutherland Tonia , Purcell Alyssa
Published: February 2021

This article uses Indigenous decolonizing methodologies and Critical Race Theory (CRT) as methodological and theoretical frameworks to address colonial and racialized concerns about archival description; to argue against notions of diversity and inclusion in archival descriptive practices; and to make recommendations for decolonizing description and embracing redescription as liberatory archival praxis. First, we argue that extant descriptive practices do not diversify archives. Rather, we find that descriptive work that isolates and scatters aims to erase the identifiable existence of unique Indigenous voices. Next, we argue that while on one hand, the mass digitization of slavery-era records holds both the promise of new historical knowledge and of genealogical reconstruction for descendants of enslaved peoples, on the other hand, this trend belies a growing tendency to reinscribe racist ideologies and codify damaging ideas about how we organize and create new knowledge through harmful descriptive practices. Finally, working specifically against the rhetoric of diversity and inclusion, we challenge the ways archives claim diverse representation by uncritically describing records rooted in generational trauma, hatred, and genocide, and advocate for developing and employing decolonizing and redescriptive practices to support an archival praxis rooted in justice and liberation, rather than more palatable (and less effective) notions of “diversity and inclusion”.

Authors: Koo Beom Mo , Baeg Moon Seung , Moon Seong Kyu , Cho Hyun Sang
Published: February 2021

Herniation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) into the external auditory canal is rare as TMJ and external auditory canal are separated by an anterior bony wall of external auditory canal. The bony defect of the anterior external auditory canal can be caused by trauma, otologic procedure, neoplasm, inflammation and a rare congenital bony defect. Conservative treatment is available if the severity of the symptom is mild or asymptomatic. However, surgical procedure is considered if the patient experiences severe distress. There have been no reported cases of surgical-related complications and recurrence during postoperative follow-up period. Herein we report the very first case of foreign body prolapse involving herniation from TMJ extending into the external auditory canal.

The aim of this study was to characterize the breast meat from broilers affected by the white striping myopathy and examine its influence on meat quality. 180 breast samples from male broilers, slaughtered at 42-d-old, were used. Samples were classified according to the severity degree of apparent white stripes on the Pectoralis major muscle surface (“normal” [n=60], “moderate” [n=60], or “severe” [n=60]). Birds affected by the myopathy produced breast meat with higher L*, a* and b* values on the outer surface. Cooking loss decreased as the severity degree increased (30.94% [normal] to 21.65% [severe]). Toughness increased in the samples classified as moderately and severely affected. There was also an increase in the concentrations of lipids (1.60% [normal] to 2.57% [affected samples], on average), cholesterol (84.60 mg/100 g [normal] to 91.73 mg/100 g [severe degree]) and collagen as the severity degree increased. Although there are statistical differences for some evaluated parameters and, even so, these results are considered numerically normal based on previously published literature, we emphasize that the white striping abnormality alters chicken breast meat quality, especially regarding to the protein and fat concentrations, which can offer consumers products with nutritional quality different from the average specified on the packaging.

Published: February 2021

As malaria remains a major health problem worldwide, various diagnostic tests have been developed, including microscopy-based and rapid diagnostic tests. LabChip real-time PCR (LRP) is a small and portable device used to diagnose malaria using lab-on-a-chip technology. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of LRP for detecting malaria parasites. Two hundred thirteen patients and 150 healthy individuals were enrolled from May 2009 to October 2015. A diagnostic detectability of LRP for malaria parasites was compared to that of conventional RT-PCR. Sensitivity of LRP for Plasmodium vivax, P. falciparum, P. malariae, and P. ovale was 95.5%, 96.0%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. Specificity of LRP for P. vivax, P. falciparum, P. malariae, and P. ovale was 100%, 99.3%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. Cohen’s Kappa coefficients between LRP and CFX96 for detecting P. vivax, P. falciparum, P. malariae, and P. ovale were 0.96, 0.98, 1.00, and 1.00, respectively. Significant difference was not observed between the results of LRP and conventional RT-PCR and microscopic examination. A time required to amplify DNAs using LRP and conventional RT-PCR was 27 min and 86 min, respectively. LRP amplified DNAs 2 times more fast than conventional RT-PCR due to the faster heat transfer. Therefore, LRP could be employed as a useful tool for detecting malaria parasites in clinical laboratories.

Life cycle stages, including daughter sporocysts, cercariae, and metacercariae, of Parvatrema duboisi (Dollfus, 1923) Bartoli, 1974 (Digenea: Gymnophallidae) have been found in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum from Aphaedo (Island), Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea. The daughter sporocysts were elongated sac-like and 307-570 (av. 395) μm long and 101-213 (av. 157) μm wide. Most of the daughter sporocysts contained 15-20 furcocercous cercariae each. The cercariae measured 112-146 (av. 134) μm in total length and 35-46 (av. 40) μm in width, with 69-92 (av. 85) μm long body and 39-54 (av. 49) μm long tail. The metacercariae were 210-250 (av. 231) μm in length and 170-195 (av. 185) μm in width, and characterized by having a large oral sucker, genital pore some distance anterior to the ventral sucker, no ventral pit, and 1 compact or slightly lobed vitellarium, strongly suggesting P. duboisi. The metacercariae were experimentally infected to ICR mice, and adults were recovered at day 7 post-infection. The adult flukes were morphologically similar to the metacercariae except in the presence of up to 20 eggs in the uterus. The daughter sporocysts and metacercariae were molecularly (ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2) analyzed to confirm the species, and the results showed 99.8-99.9% identity with P. duboisi reported from Kyushu, Japan and Gochang, Korea. These results confirmed the presence of various life cycle stages of P. duboisi in the Manila clam, R. philippinarum, playing the role of the first as well as the second intermediate host, on Aphae-do (Island), Shinan-gun, Korea.

Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence have been rapidly increasing in some parts of Korea. We analyzed prevalence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies, using a rapid diagnostic test (RDT), in the sera of 552 residents in Ganghwa-gun, 661 ones in Cheorwon-gun, and 305 ones in Goseong-gun, Korea in 2019. IgG/IgM RDT mounted with recombinant fragment of major surface antigen (SAG1), glutathione-S-transferase-linker-SAG1A, were applied to the sera. IgG seroprevalence was 28.1% in Ganghwa-gun, 19.5% in Cheorwon-gun and 35.7% in Goseong-gun. Odds ratios comparing Cheorwon vs Ganghwa was 0.63 (P=0.001) and Goesong versus Ganghwa was 1.47 (P=0.01) adjusting age and sex. Goseong had highest seroprevalence among the 3 counties both in crude rates and logistic regression. Although Cheorwon and Goseong are adjacent to the demilitarized zone (DMZ) in Korea, seroprevalence rate was much higher in Goseong. Further investigation on other DMZ-closed areas is necessary whether they have high prevalence rates compared to the other areas. T. gondii prevalence in Korea is still persists; proper health policy should be established.

The infection status with Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) was examined in freshwater fishes from Yongjeon-cheon (a branch of Nakdong-gang) located in Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, the Republic of Korea (Korea). A total of 750 fishes in 19 species were examined by the artificial digestion method for 2 years (2019 and 2020). CsMc were detected in 378 (51.4%) out of 735 fishes in 14 species (73.7%), and the infection intensity was 666 per fish infected. In 2019, CsMc were found in 172 (68.0%) out of 253 fishes in 10 species, and the infection intensity was 565 per fish infected. In 2020, CsMc were detected in 206 (62.2%) out of 331 fishes in 10 species, and the infection intensity was 751 per fish infected. The other zoonotic trematode, ie. Metagonimus spp., Centrocestus armatus, Echinostoma spp. and Clinostomum complanatum, metacercariae were also detected in fishes from the survey streams, but their endemicities were relatively low. Conclusively, it was first confirmed that CsMc are highly endemic in fishes from Yongjeon-cheon in Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea.

Published: February 2021

This study aimed to investigate the vasoactivity of sulfur dioxide
(SO2), a novel gas identified from vascular tissue, in rat thoracic
aorta. The thoracic aorta was isolated, cut into rings, and
mounted in organ-bath chambers. After equilibrium, the rings
were gradually stretched to a resting tension. Isometric tension
was recorded under the treatments with vasoconstrictors, SO2
derivatives, and various drugs as pharmacological interventions.
In endothelium-intact aortic rings constricted by 1 μM
phenylephrine (PE), SO2 derivatives (0.5 – 8 mM) caused a dosedependent relaxation. Endothelium removal and a NOS inhibitor
L-NAME reduced the relaxation to low doses of SO2 derivatives,
but not that to relatively high doses (≥ 2 mM). In endotheliumdenuded rings, SO2 derivatives attenuated vasoconstriction
induced by high K+ (60 mM) or CaCl2 (0.01-10 mM). The
relaxation to SO2 derivatives in PE-constricted rings without
endothelium was significantly inhibited by blockers of ATPsensitive K+ (KATP) and Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa) channels, but not
by those of voltage-dependent K+ channels, Na+-K+-ATPase or
Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. SO2 relaxed vessel tone via endotheliumdependent mechanisms associated with NOS activation, and via
endothelium-independent mechanisms dependent on the
inhibition of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, and the opening of KATP
and KCa channels.
Parameters describing the pulse wave
Authors: Korpas D , Hálek J , Doležal L
Published: February 2021

Pulse wave analysis permits non-invasive assessment of arterial
elasticity indices. The contour varies in different parts of the
circulation. It depends on physiological or pathophysiological
conditions of the organism. The pathological events like
arteriosclerosis or diabetes have a primary effect to the artery
elasticity. Hypertension or some heart diseases also influence the
pulse wave velocity and resulted in earlier wave reflections.
There are several methods of pulse wave measurements based
on different principles and depending on the type of measured
pulse wave. The evaluation parameters can be assessed from the
time domain, derivations, velocity or frequency domain. The main
aim of this review article is to offer a recent overview of pulse
wave measurement parameters and main results obtained. The
principles of pulse wave measurement and current experience in
clinical practice are shortly discussed too.
Serum concentrations of adipocyte fatty acid binding protein in patients with anorexia nervosa

Published: February 2021

Serum adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) concentrations
are linked to human obesity and other features of metabolic
syndrome. Whether FABP associates with metabolic alterations in
chronic malnutrition is unknown. In the present study, we
measured fasting serum levels of FABP, leptin, soluble leptin
receptor, adiponectin, resistin, C-reactive protein (CRP), insulin,
glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides in 19 patients with a
restrictive type of anorexia nervosa (AN) and in 16 healthy agematched control women (C). Body mass index, serum leptin, and
CRP concentrations were significantly lower, while serum
adiponectin and soluble leptin receptor levels were significantly
higher in AN relative to C group. Serum insulin, glucose,
cholesterol and triglyceride levels did not differ between the
groups studied. Serum FABP levels were unchanged in patients
with AN and were not related to any of parameters studied. We
conclude that, in contrast to patients with obesity where FAPB is
a prominent marker of metabolic alterations, chronic malnutrition
in AN does not significantly affect its serum levels.
‘restore to us the necessary BLIZZARDS’: Early Twentieth-Century Visions of Climatic Change
Authors: Alt Christina
Published: February 2021

Prompted by Wyndham Lewis's call in BLAST for a ‘USEFUL LITTLE CHEMIST’ to ‘restore to us the necessary BLIZZARDS’, this paper considers the conceptions of climate and climatic change – natural and anthropogenic – that were in circulation in the early twentieth century. Engaging with the writing of scientists, journalists, novelists, and avant-garde polemicists, it examines early twentieth-century iterations of the notion that climate determines culture, the period's awareness of past climatic changes, the theories advanced to explain these changes, and the attitudes taken towards the possibility of human-induced climatic change.
Yeats's Birds: Recognising the Animal
Authors: Sullivan Kelly
Published: February 2021

Yeats's use of avian imagery forms part of his turn toward a modernist poetics, particularly in volumes written in response to social and political upheavals, world war, and revolution in Ireland. Yeats's birds vacillate between symbolic presences and literal creatures, but in his most experimental work, he uses the avian to explore the limits of human consciousness and of empathy, epistemological queries central to modernism. Considering Yeats's post-1914 poetry through a less anthropocentric view, this article interprets his engagement with politics and revolutionary action from an ecologically-complex and inclusive standpoint, revealing his more nuanced ethical position at a moment of profound cultural, political, and class-based change. His recognition of an avian other-ness offers both an objective correlative for the opacity of other people, and simultaneously presents a world view that grants birds and animals their own consciousness.
‘You have to run it like a company’
Authors: Košmerl Tadej , Mikulec Borut
Published: February 2021

This paper identifies some of the key characteristics of the marketisation of adult learning and education (ALE) and analyses the effects in the contexts of Germany (focusing on Bavaria) and Slovenia. ALE policies and institutional practices are analysed through the method of document analysis and interviews. Policy models of ALE proposed by Lima and Guimarães—the democratic–emancipatory model, the modernisation and state control model, and the human resources management model—are used as an analytical framework. Our findings indicate that the latter model prevails in the analysed policies, while the market forces are introduced on the organisational level of ALE from ‘below’ through the increased influence of the market demand coming from the learners/customers, and from ‘above’ through calls for tenders that shape the ‘quasi-market’ in which the ALE organisations compete for funding. However, signs of resistance to the marketisation of ALE practices are also identified.
