If You Choose Not to Decide: A Survey of Online Field Experiences for Canadian Teacher Preparation Programs
Authors: Siko Jason , Barbour Michael , Archibald Douglas , Ostashewski Nathaniel
Published: August 2024

Despite the rapid growth in online and distance learning in Canada, there does not appear to be much interest on the part of teacher education programs to evolve to meet the needs of future generations of teacher candidates. While understanding the notion that systemic change in tertiary education takes time, the steady growth of online and blended learning in Canada–and globally–combined with raised awareness of distance learning stoked by the COVID-19 pandemic should make educators and policymakers worry about failing to respond to a rapidly changing educational landscape. This paper highlights the status of distance and online field experiences provided by Canadian teacher education programs. In addition, we review program offerings to support in-service teachers, such as graduate certificate, degree, and diploma programs, as well as MOOCs offering free professional development. This study, a replication of a mixed-method study originally conducted in the United States and published as a technical report by Archibald et al. (2020)[1], found that a minority of teacher education programs offered online or blended field experiences. Further, we found that programs were slow to change these deficiencies due to institutional lack of resources, limited knowledge base, perceived lack of usefulness for their teachers’ future careers, and regulatory bodies discouraging online field experiences. This study highlights the dramatic need for programming in distance and online education.

Published: August 2024

Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by inducing symptoms of illness in a child by a close relative, usually the mother, leading to various consultations and more or less invasive medical interventions. Factitious hypoglycemia, a factitious disorder caused by the administration of insulin or other hypoglycemic agents, results in hypoglycemias with severe sequelae. Diagnosis relies on measuring insulin levels, which will be high, and C-peptide levels, which will be low or even undetectable. We report the case of a female infant presenting with factitious hypoglycemia due to an insulin injection, revealed by severe hypoglycemias.

Published: August 2024

Gender disparities affect employment, education, social interactions, and managerial roles. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a complex analysis of differences based on representation in managerial positions, wage levels, educational opportunities, and soft skills. The analysis combines both qualitative and quantitative data. Quantitative data were collected from 2009 to 2022 from the Bureau of National Statistics of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the National Bank, and the World Bank. Qualitative data were obtained through surveys of 652 respondents filtered based on their correct understanding of the soft skills concept. Further, the Index for Stereotypes in Women’s Employment (ISWE) was developed by identifying key indicators and gathering relevant data, followed by assigning weight coefficients based on their significance and ultimately combining these weighted impacts to compute the total index. The most significant impact on gender disparities was shown by the assessment of soft skills, contributing 13.1115, highlighting the need for their recognition in the labor market. Educational opportunities had a significant impact, contributing 2.1945, emphasizing equal opportunities for women and men. Differences in wages contributed to 1.394, indicating the pay gap. The low representation of women in managerial positions in state financial institutions (including second-tier banks) contributed 0.685, while barriers for women in managerial positions in state holdings across various sectors contributed 1.485. The findings offer actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders committed to promoting gender equity.

Calculation process and spatial heterogeneity characteristic of non-point source pollution caused by rainfall-runoff in Taizhou City
Authors: Xing Zhaopeng , Hua Guofen , Liu Shangqing , Zhao Zhongwei , Yang Xiaoli , Wu Longhua
Published: August 2024

With improved point source pollution management, the impacts of non-point source pollution on the ecosystem are increasingly evident. However, conventional techniques such as output coefficient approaches fail to adequately capture its geographical and temporal variability. This study proposed a grid-based calculation technique to quantify non-point source pollution from rainfall-runoff in the Jinqing Watershed, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, based on the principles of the Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number (SCS-CN) model. The modified SCS-CN model effectively represented both temporal and geographical variations in rainfall-runoff pollution. Precipitation emerged as the primary determinant of non-point source pollutant load over time due to its strong positive association with rainfall. From January to April, there was a constant pollutant load; besides irregular rainfall patterns, land use types also influenced pollutant loads at a geographical scale. Building and cultivated areas exhibited positive correlations with nitrogen (r = 0.44, P = 0.05) and phosphorus (r = 0.54, P = 0.05), while forested and grassland areas showed negative correlations with nitrogen (r = −0.44, P = 0.05) and phosphorus pollutants (r = −044, P = 0.05). Pollution loads were also influenced by landscape patterns; concentrated dominant land use types resulted in higher contamination levels compared with scattered dominant land use types.

Authors: Zhang Kai , Ren Yi , Lv Jiayang , Mao Peng , Zhou Wenming , Shi Yongqiang , Zhou Kaisheng , Wang Linna , Zhang Chengjun , Zhang Haihong
Published: August 2024

Aims:

This study aims to explore the potential mechanism by which Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/
A) inhibits microglial inflammatory activation through P2X7 receptors (P2X7R).

Background:

BoNT/A is a promising analgesic drug, and previous studies have established that it alleviates
Neuropathic Pain (NP) by inhibiting microglial inflammatory activation. This study examined the biomarkers
and potential mechanisms by which BoNT/A relieves neuropathic pain by mediating microglial P2X7R and analyzing
transcriptome sequencing data from mouse BV-2 microglial cells.

Objective:

The P2X7R agonist Bz-ATP was used to induce microglial inflammatory activation, whilst RNAseq
technology was used to explore the biomarkers and potential mechanisms through which BoNT/A suppresses
microglial inflammation.

Methods:

RNA sequencing was performed on three BV-2 cell samples treated with a P2X7R specific activator
(Bz-ATP) and three BV-2 cell samples pre-treated with BoNT/A. Only data that successfully passed quality
control measures were included in subsequent analysis. Initially, Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) were
identified from BoNT/A and control samples, followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of
Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. Biomarkers were then identified by constructing a Protein-
Protein Interaction (PPI) network and utilizing the CytoHubba plug-in in Cytoscape software. Lastly, enrichment
analysis and regulatory network analysis were performed to elucidate the potential mechanism of
BoNT/A in the treatment of NP.

Results:

93 DEGs related to the “cell component size regulation” GO term and enriched in the “axon guidance”
KEGG pathway were identified. Subsequently, 6 biomarkers were identified, namely PTPRF, CHDH,
CKM, Ky, Sema3b, and Sema3f, which were enriched in pathways related to biosynthesis and metabolism, disease
progression, signal transduction, and organelle function, including the “ribosome” and “Wnt signaling
pathway.” Finally, a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNAs) network was constructed from 6 mRNAs, 66
miRNAs, and 31 lncRNAs, forming a complex relationship network.

Conclusion:

Six genes (PTPRF, Sema3b, Sema3f, CHDH, CKM, and Ky) were identified as biomarkers of microglial
inflammatory activation following BoNT/A treatment. This finding may provide a valuable reference
for the relief and treatment of neuropathic pain.

The Corpus Callosum (CC) is the largest commissural tract in the nervous
system. Few studies have examined the extent of CC in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients,
and these studies have reported conflicting findings.

Materials and Methods:

The study was performed using 176 brain MRI images of 88 Alzheimer's
patients (55 women-32 men) and 88 healthy individuals (44 women-44 men).

Results:

In our study, 7 different parameters of the CC were measured, and their average values
were determined. We measured each parameter separately in AD patients and healthy individuals
and compared them with each other.

Conclusion:

Authors: Carvalho Martins Laís , Pedrosa Arantes Laura , Ferreira Silva Camila , Martins Victor da Mota , Rodrigues da Silva Gisele , César Freitas Santos-Filho Paulo
Published: August 2024

Introduction

Fiberglass posts are used in the rehabilitation of endodontically treated teeth, and adaptation to the canal is a determining factor.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the Push-out Bond Strength (PBS) and failure mode of different types of fiberglass posts, associated or not with a fiberglass sleeve (Exacto and Splendor SAP) in different types of canals (enlarged and non-enlarged canals).

Method and Materials

Forty bovine roots were used, and the samples were divided into four groups (n=10). The canals were instrumented in a standardized manner. The samples were cemented with dual self-adhesive resin cement. The roots were sectioned in the coronal, middle, and apical thirds with a thickness of 1 mm. The Push-out Bond Strength (PBS) test was performed in a universal testing machine (EMIC). Statistical analysis: PBS values were recorded, and data were analyzed using repeated measures, such as ANOVA and Tukey's test. To determine the failure mode, a stereomicroscope with 40× magnification and 2.5D analysis was used.

Results

SPrFl showed significantly higher bond strength in the coronal third than SPr and Exc. However, SPr, Exc, and ExcFl did not show any differences between them. Furthermore, similar bond strength was observed between SPrFl and ExcFl. The failure mode was not influenced by the post system (p=0.144) or root third (p=0.146). All experimental groups showed a prevalence of adhesive failures (Types I, II, and III).

Conclusion

The groups that used the Splendor system showed similar results to conventional posts anatomized with resin, but in the middle and apical thirds, there was no statistical difference in PBS.

Clinical Significance

The results of this laboratory test can help the dentist to answer which types of fiberglass can be used to rehabilitate endodontically treated teeth, ensuring good adhesive resistance and, consequently clinical success.

Published: August 2024

Background

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a global health problem that is statistically more prevalent in the working age group. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been considered downstream molecules involved in several diseases. Recent research has reported that miRs can modulate multiple steps of the pathogenesis of DR.

Aim

This study aimed at identifying significant pathways and genes that cause the dysregulation of the identified miRs to enhance and/or cause development in an individual.

Methodology

Extensive data mining led to the discovery of these novel miRNAs. Functional Enrichment Analysis of these targets was carried out using the MIENTURNET tool through KEGG and WikiPathways databases. The miRNet online tool was used to construct a network analysis.

Results

Nine miRs were found to be associated with DR. We identified four significant pathways, including their involvement in DR: the TGF-beta signaling pathway, insulin signaling pathway, VEGF signaling pathway, and type II diabetes mellitus pathway.

Conclusion

Identifying the targets for DR has the potential for developing new therapies for this chronic disease. The findings of this current work reveal different aspects of the results. Thus, identified miRNAs are found as potential novel biomarkers in identifying the mechanistic approach against DR.

The Relationship between Literacy Skills and Students' Academic Achievement: A Meta-Analysis Study
Authors: Kurniawati Kurniawati
Published: August 2024

Literacy skills and academic achievement were examined in this study. An individual's capacity to learn and apply new skills relies heavily on their ability to read and write well. In this study, a meta-analysis approach is used to calculate the correlation with the fixed-effect model, which is quantitative. The first step in formulating research questions is to identify relevant research and then look for research that doesn't publish the r-value. There are 29 articles in the sample. This study's findings on the relationship between literacy skills and student academic achievement are free from publication bias because the fixed-effect funnel plot model shows a variety of sample sizes with the asymmetric distribution. After seeing the forest plot before and after trimming and filling it, it was clear that the results of the summary effect were evident. So, the fixed-effect model of the relationship between students' reading skills and how well they do in school is very likely to be true.

The research method used is literature review by following the literature review procedure. Using keywords on google scholar "character" and "physical education". Character can determine a person in the way of thinking, behaving, and acting that becomes a habit displayed in social life. Individuals with good character are individuals who can make decisions and are ready to account for any consequences of the decisions made. In the current era of globalization, rapid development continues to occur in all aspects of human life, all these advances not only have a positive impact, but also have a negative impact. The emergence of various behavioral shifts, especially students, that are contrary to the culture, norms, rules, and ethics that exist in society, the increasing number of brawls between students, and other forms of juvenile delinquency in big cities. The findings of character education can be formed, one of which is through physical education and sports (gymnastics), through motor activities that are carried out continuously, so that it becomes a habit. Physical education is essentially an educational process that utilizes physical activity to produce holistic changes in individual qualities, both in physical, mental, and emotional terms.

Public Mass Shootings: Counterfactual Trend Analysis of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban
Authors: Lundberg Alex Lars , Fox James Alan , Mohammad Hassan , Mason Maryann , Salina Doreen , Victorson David , Parra-Cardona Ruben , Post Lori Ann
Published: August 2024

Background

Assault weapon and large-capacity magazine bans are potential tools for policy makers to prevent public mass shootings. However, the efficacy of these bans is a continual source of debate. In an earlier study, we estimated the impact of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban (FAWB) on the number of public mass shooting events in the United States. This study provides an updated assessment with 3 additional years of firearm surveillance data to characterize the longer-term effects.

Objective

This study aims to estimate the impact of the FAWB on trends in public mass shootings from 1966 to 2022.

Methods

We used linear regression to estimate the impact of the FAWB on the 4-year simple moving average of annual public mass shootings, defined by events with 4 or more deaths in 24 hours, not including the perpetrator. The study period spans 1966 to 2022. The model includes indicator variables for both the FAWB period (1995‐2004) and the period after its removal (2005‐2022). These indicators were interacted with a linear time trend. Estimates were controlled for the national homicide rate. After estimation, the model provided counterfactual estimates of public mass shootings if the FAWB was never imposed and if the FAWB remained in place.

Results

The overall upward trajectory in the number of public mass shootings substantially fell while the FAWB was in place. These trends are specific to events in which the perpetrator used an assault weapon or large-capacity magazine. Point estimates suggest the FAWB prevented up to 5 public mass shootings while the ban was active. A continuation of the FAWB and large-capacity magazine ban would have prevented up to 38 public mass shootings, but the CIs become wider as time moves further away from the period of the FAWB.

Conclusions

The FAWB, which included a ban on large-capacity magazines, was associated with fewer public mass shooting events, fatalities, and nonfatal gun injuries. Gun control legislation is an important public health tool in the prevention of public mass shootings.

Published: August 2024

This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of subclinical mastitis (SCM) and the correlation between CMT positive score, udder morphology and management practice in dairy goats in several regencies in East Java. The SCM identification was tested using the California Mastitis Test (CMT) method. The obtained data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively, and the correlation was determined using Kendall’s tau_b coefficient correlation method. The results showed the prevalence of SCM in Blitar, Lumajang, and Jember amounted to 19,35%, 0,86%, and 25%, respectively. The control management of observed dairy farms was relatively similar such as the milking frequency, feeding management, health control, and cage type. Milk production was moderately correlated with CMT (tb =-0.417) and low correlation with the udder shape (tb =1.51), side udder cross-section (tb =-0,293), teat angle of separation between teat (tb =0,204), and degree of udder separation (tb =0,128). The CMT also has low correlation with the BCS (tb =0,146), udder symmetry (tb =0,126), sided udder cross-section (tb =0,153). Then CMT also has a moderate correlation with housing type (tb =-0,380) and milking frequency (tb =0.365). In conclusion, the prevalence of SCM was relatively low to moderate and its correlation with udder morphology were low to moderate.

Sebelum dilakukan penelitian dilakukan aklimatisasi selama 7 hari dan tepung tulang bandeng yang sudah dicampurkan dengan pakan diberikan setiap hari secara oral selama 35 hari. Pengukuran lingkar dada ayam bangkok dilakukan pada hari ke 7, 14, 21, 28, dan 35. Pada akhir penelitian ayam dinekropsi, kemudian dilakukan penimbangan otot pectoralis dan sampel homogenat otot pectoralis disentrifugasi dingin. Selanjutnya supernatan dikoleksi dan dianalisis menggunakan metode Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) untuk mengetahui kadar testosteron pada otot pectoralis. Data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis menggunakan independent sample T-Test dengan bantuan SPPS versi 26. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan (Sig. (2-tailed) < 0,05) pada kadar hormon testosteron otot pectoralis, bobot otot pectoralis dan lingkar dada ayam bangkok. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian tepung tulang ikan bandeng dengan metode freeze-dry dengan dosis 3,3 g/ekor/hari secara oral selama 35 hari dapat meningkatkan kadar testosteron pada otot pectoralis, bobot otot pectoralis dan lingkar dada pada ayam bangkok.

Adaptation of timor deer at the Conservation Institution of PT Taman Satwa Semarang is formed through a learning and memory process. The presence of visitors stimulates the deer to walk towards the side of the pen even though it is resting. Drop in feeding by keepers in the morning, afternoon, and evening causes the deer to become more active during the day. This study aims to analyze frequency and duration of the daily behavior of timor deer on weekdays with few visitors and on weekends with lots of visitors. Behaviors observed include moving, feeding, resting, grooming, aggressive, eliminative, and reproductive behavior. This research was conducted for 30 days. The object used in this study was a population of 18 adult timor deer. The method used is scan sampling, data recording of daily behavior which includes duration and frequency are carried out periodically at 10-minute intervals. The collected data includes daily behavioral, type of feed, as well as temperature and humidity. Data analysis was performed using t-test at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that visitor activity between weekdays and weekends had a significant effect (p˂0.05) on moving, feeding, resting, grooming, aggressive, and reproductive behavior. The conclusion of this study was the most timor deer perform resting and reproductive behaviors on weekdays, while moving, eating, and social behavior are mostly carried out on weekend.

To explore the impact of landscape pattern index on air pollutant, this study takes the annual average concentrations of PM2.5, O3, PM10, and NO2 at 14 national air quality monitoring stations in Hangzhou from 2014 to 2021 as the dependent variables, and selects five landscape pattern indices of green patches within 500m of the monitoring stations as independent variables. An enhanced regression tree model was used to study the influence of landscape patterns on the concentrations of the four air pollutants. The results show that the most significant influencing factors for the concentrations of PM2.5, O3, PM10, and NO2 are the aggregation index, Shannon's diversity index, aggregation index, and largest patch index respectively, with relative influence rates of 29.27%, 25.06%, 31.28%, and 28.58%, respectively. The aggregation index has a significant impact on all types of air pollutants and plays a good role in reducing air pollution. With higher regional patch aggregation index, the concentration of air particulate matter and nitrogen oxides is greatly alleviated. The largest patch index is significantly negatively correlated with air particulate matter and ozone concentration, and an increase in green areas has a good mitigating effect on these two types of air pollutants. As the Shannon diversity index increases, there is a general trend of decreasing particulate matter concentration, while the concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and ozone show a decrease as well. This suggests that the complexity of landscape shape and boundaries is conducive to the reduction of nitrogen dioxide and ozone concentrations to a certain extent.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar os entendimentose utilizações da temática diversidade cultural emestudos curriculares da Educação Física Escolar (EFE).Metodologicamente utilizamos a revisão sistemática deabordagem qualitativa. Tivemos como fonte periódicos daeducação (A1 e A2) e da educação física (A2 à B2) inclusosno sistema WebQualis da CAPES, com marco cronológicoinicial de 1990 até 2014. Os dados foram tratados a partirda análise de conteúdo categorial por temática. As análisesdos artigos apontam que a temática diversidade culturalaparece com mais expressividade em artigos com inspiraçõespós-críticas de currículo na área de EFE. Entretanto em umartigo de inspiração tradicional apareceu o termo de formaingênua e aparente. Já nos estudos críticos a diversidadecultural não foi objeto específico de reflexão do artigo.Percebemos ainda a existência de um entrelaçamentoteórico, demonstrando certo dinamismo e provisoriedade,nos argumentos dos estudos curriculares e especificamenteentre as teorias críticas e pós-críticas percebemos umaambivalência recíproca de críticas.
A FORMAÇÃO DE FORMADORES NA CIBERCULTURA E A ATUAÇÃO DOCENTE UNIVERSITÁRIA
Authors: Santos Rosemary
Published: August 2024

Este artigo é parte da Pesquisa Institucional “Formação de Formadores e Educação Superior na Cibercultura: itinerâncias de Grupos de Pesquisa no Facebook”, realizada em 2013 e teve como objetivo compreender a formação do formador no contexto da Cibercultura e como este vem estruturando a atuação docente universitária. O tema da formação está geralmente calcado no modelo da racionalidade técnica, instaurando a separação entre teoria e pratica, reflexão e ação. Num movimento contrário, vêm tomando corpo, cada vez com mais intensidade, pesquisas e estudos que defendem outras perspectivas sobre o tema. Como teóricos mais expressivos nesse campo, dialogamos com as abordagens de Josso, Nóvoa, Macedo e Alves. A metodologia inscreveu-se no movimento da perspectiva epistemológica da multirreferencialidade com os cotidianos e pelo método da ciberpesquisa-formação, tendo como campos de pesquisa a universidade e a rede social Facebook. Como dispositivos, bricolamos oficinas, interações nas redes sociais e entrevistas. A pesquisa revelou que a formação do formador com o advento da cibercultura forja outros espaços e tempos de pesquisa acadêmica e de criação de dispositivos online. Revelou também que os usos do digital em rede pelos praticantes da pesquisa fizeram emergir outros processos de articulação da cidade–universidade, estabelecendo outros sentidos para a prática pedagógica e para a pesquisa acadêmica.

Objetivo: analizar la repatriarcalización del territorio tras diez años del derrame de lixiviados de cobre en las aguas del río Sonora. Metodología: de tipo cuantitativa y cualitativa con entrevistas, una encuesta y tres talleres. Resultados: 1) el empleo se concentra en migrantes jóvenes de sexo masculino; 2) la escasez y la contaminación del agua sigue alterando la vida cotidiana de las mujeres; 3) las mujeres tienen escasa presencia en los espacios convencionales de lucha y prefieren resolver los problemas a escala comunitaria. Limitaciones: no se analizó la dimensión cultural. Valor: la investigación contribuye a entender las consecuencias del derrame desde la perspectiva de género. Conclusiones: la repatriarcalización del territorio es un concepto útil para profundizar en la dinámica de género del extractivismo minero.
El deber de consultar las concesiones y servidumbres mineras:

The sentence issued is analyzed by the Court of Appeals of Copiapó on December 12 is analyzed, 2017, which rejects an allegation of an indigenous community, regarding the applicability of the duty to consult prior to the constitution of a mining easement, ruling that the consultation was not applicable, since both the mining concessions and easements are granted by judicial resolution, which is not a “legislative or administrative measure” as required by art. 6 of ILO Convention 169. This decision, it will be argued, is incorrect because it was based in the general rule of consultation of art. 6 and not in the special rule of art. 15 Nº2 of the same treaty, which is the applicable rule for authorizations of exploration and exploitation activities. The use of this last norm, it would have been decisive for the outcome of the trial, and it would have contributed to the solution of the current phenomenon of “displacement” of substantive controversies by procedural discussions, that occur in the context of the right to consultation.
Las agravantes de género del delito de homicidio en el Código penal argentino y la dignidad humana:
Authors: Cordini Nicolás Santiago
Published: August 2024

The value of human dignity is a core concept to limit the punitive power in the context of a State of law. In it, the respect of human dignity an unwavering starting point. When we inquire about it content, the human dignity gets identified with the equality or the autonomy. The human dignity is not a legal concept which can be expressed in specific rules. Foremost, it is a moral concept which has different levels of significance depending on its context and linguistic function. Thus, we will inquire about its meaning according to the Kantian ethic. The content of it will constitute the theoretical framework we will analyse from the gender-based aggravations of the criminal offence of homicide of the Argentinian Penal Code, being our main question: these aggravations contradict the concept of human dignity?.
