Effectiveness of Concept Mapping’s Efficiency in Differential Equations
Authors: Moradi Fatemeh
Published: August 2021

One of the existing approaches in students’ performance evaluation is to use concept mapping. There are lots of studies indicate that concept mappings can be used to evaluate the knowledge of mathematical concepts in a useful way. The best and most comprehensive way of learning is organizing study. Organizing is an expanding meaning strategy. Concept mapping is a simple way to organize and relate information, if vaguely. Lines, words, signs, and symbols are used in concept mappings. In this study, the use of concept mappings in differential equations has been investigated. To do so, a case study of understanding differential equations unit has been conducted in 90 students from Azad University. To begin with, the students went under seven sessions of differential equations of grade one, and another group was taught differential equations in a traditional way. After that, the results obtained were evaluated using SPSS software and Mann-Whitney U test to reach the conclusion. The results indicate the effectiveness of concept mappings. The students show ability to recognize the structure of differential equations that cannot be seen in the results of a traditional teaching method. In addition, the misunderstandings in misconceptions of such structures can be revealed. Therefore, it can be recommended to use the concept maps about differential equations as a complementary assessment tool along with common written tests.
Gobierno y gubernamentalidad en el campo de estudios sobre infancias. Aproximaciones a sus usos y aportes teórico-metodológicos
Authors: Aguilar Rosero Diana Alejandra
Published: August 2021

El campo de estudios sobre las infancias es una noción que permite dar cuenta de la pluralidad que caracteriza la producción de saber alrededor de este tema. Se evidencia su funcionamiento inter y transdisciplinar, y su carácter político y tensional que busca atrave­sar fronteras disciplinares y epistémicas. En este contexto, se plantea una reflexión sobre el uso de las nociones de gobierno y gubernamentalidad como herramientas analíticas con potencia para dinamizar la producción de saber al interior de este campo.
Imágenes de infancia en el cine sobre el conflicto armado interno colombiano
Authors: Palacio Baena Ángela Inés , Jiménez Giraldo Natalia
Published: August 2021

Este artículo presenta los resultados de la investigación Imágenes de infancia en el cine sobre el conflicto armado interno colombiano que concluyó en 2019. Interroga imágenes unívocas de infancia y conmina a escuchar en los materiales seleccionados las voces de los personajes, niños y niñas, y lo que el cine nos enseña acerca de su lugar en el conflicto. A partir del concepto de imagen como representación, se analizan 7 filmes a través de las técnicas de análisis de los recursos expresivos y narrativos propuestas por Marzal y Gómez (2007). Los resultados evidencian, por un lado, que los niños y las niñas se presentan como víctimas: personajes sin nombre, silenciados, sin voz, sin saberes, desechados; y por otro, que son sujetos que toman decisiones, se resisten, tienen conocimiento del conflicto y proyectan su vida de otras maneras. De acuerdo con estas categorías se esbozan dos líneas de trabajo para futuras investigaciones: la exploración de la condición de los niños y las niñas como victimarios y una revisión documental que ponga la mirada tanto sobre el reclutamiento forzoso de los niños y las niñas como sobre su vinculación “voluntaria” al conflicto armado.

Em 09 de junho do ano de 2019 a agência de notícias The Intercept, publicou uma série de reportagens trazendo fatias do que seria um dos maiores escândalos nacionais envolvendo a Magistratura e o Ministério Público Federais. Integrantes da Força Tarefa da Operação “Lava Jato”, como ficaram conhecidos os Procuradores Federais responsáveis por liderar investigações e encabeçamento de diversas denúncias de corrupção do Brasil, e o Juiz da 13ª Vara Criminal de Curitiba tiveram seus diálogos em aplicativo expostos por jornalistas, revelando possível conluio entre eles. O presente trabalho analisou as condutas praticadas pelos Procuradores Federais e do Magistrado com espeque nos ditames do Código de Processo Penal, com enfoque na possível ocorrência da suspeição do dito Magistrado. Desta forma, primeiramente expôs-se o conteúdo dos diálogos e atos praticados pelos envolvidos, bem com a ausência de negativa de veracidade dos diálogos pelos mesmos, com o escopo de dar pleno contexto ao presente trabalho. Adiante se fez a análise das condutas efetuadas frente à legislação e jurisprudência pátria, bem como da legislação e jurisprudência internacionais. Destarte, de acordo com os dados apresentados e analisados, conclui-se que diversos ditames Constitucionais e Infraconstitucionais foram totalmente ignorados no decorrer da Operação “Lava Jato”, especialmente quanto ao aconselhamento e até possível coordenação das atividades da acusação.

Published: August 2021

O presente artigo apresenta como tema os desafios jurídicos da execução penal de condenados com deficiência física no Brasil, considerando-se os aspectos arquitetônicos e legais envolvidos na questão. Assim, objetiva-se investigar a forma e a estrutura dos presídios no Brasil, se estes são ou não adaptados para atender as necessidades básicas de condenados com deficiência e, a partir dos resultados, contribuir com sugestões práticas para a melhoria do sistema penitenciário, em especial para a readaptação com finalidade de torná-los acessível e garantir o respeito à dignidade da pessoa humana no contexto prisional. Para tanto, foi empregado o método bibliográfico e documental, com abordagem qualitativa, cujos dados foram coletados de relatórios oficiais, especialmente o INFOPEN dos anos de 2016 e 2019, de notas técnicas emitidas pelo Departamento Penitenciário Nacional (DEPEN), bem como de pesquisas já publicadas e encontradas a partir de revisão bibliográfica. A partir dos achados, conclui-se pela existência de grandes omissões estatais que produzem um ambiente de cárcere completamente desassociado dos ditames impostos pela legislação brasileira e por Tratados Internacionais, sem a correta implementação de políticas públicas que permitam a construção de uma sociedade livre de atitudes discriminatórias de qualquer ordem e grau, com respeitado aos direitos humanos.
Keep the Fire Burning: Exploring the Hierarchies of Music Fandom and the Motivations of Superfans
Authors: Edlom Jessica , Karlsson Jenny
Published: August 2021

The Internet has changed how music fans come together and how the music industry connects to and communicates with fans. To understand the incentives for becoming a fan and why fans take part in an artist brand, this article considers the diversity in a particular fan community, including its hierarchy and roles. Fans have different levels of engagement, knowledge, and status, both inside and outside a fan community. To extend the existing research on fan hierarchies into the digital promotional culture, this study focuses on the case of the Swedish music artist Robyn and her Facebook fan community Konichiwa Bitches. To gain insights into a complex online research arena, we use a qualitative and digital ethnographic approach in both online and offline contexts. The article provides an understanding and conceptualization of fan hierarchies, focusing on the top of the hierarchy, superfans and executive fans, and on their incentives for engagement. These high-level fans function as a key connecting point between the brand management and the fans, thus taking fandom a step further and enhancing the brand.
Painting the Map My Color

Published: August 2021

This dissertation narrates the data corpus of a 3-year autoethnography of a gaming community that created a history-themed esports event, the EU4 LAN. Descriptive writing and thematic analysis was utilized to illustrate the enacted roles of EU4 LAN community's (I)dentities across its affinity network. The aim of this research has been to elucidate the multimodal design features that facilitated identity exploration throughout the EU4 LAN's learning ecosystem. This dissertation documents how members of this gaming community interact, share knowledge, and learn across physical and virtual spaces. Using an ecological approach, my research context describes the EU4 LAN as an esports learning ecosystem that embedded live-action role-playing (larp) features to scaffold identity exploration in a game- based environment. I explore how esports learning ecosystems can be designed with features such as agency, immersion, community, and legacy. These design features allowed the EU4 LAN community to engage through in-person interactions, as well as, across the streaming platform, Twitch.tv and it's virtual affinity network. The EU4 LAN community was examined from three perspectives, the EU4 LAN players, the organizers, and the Twitch stream participants. My analysis revealed three enacted roles that emerged as themes across the aforementioned perspectives. These were Map Painter, Keepers of the Kingdom, and Bards of the EU4 LAN. The first theme, Map Painter, described the community's mastery of history and EU4 knowledge and game mechanics. It also showed the community's interest and motivation around in-game challenges and the encouragement of the Twitch stream participants. The second theme, Keepers of the Kingdom, describes the rules and regulations required to cultivate the EU4 LAN. This included the specialized knowledge of the non-player characters, as well as, the ability to design immersive interactions within in-person events and the streaming chat. The final theme of Bards of the EU4 LAN characterizes the storytelling that happen before, during, and after the event. It outlines the ways players create artifacts of the EU4 LAN and share their stories to the EU4 community. These artifacts create a legacy to motivate and inform the next generation of EU4 LAN participants. I conclude with a reflection on esports-based and larp-based design features that can facilitate identity exploration in esports learning ecosystems, and provide directions for its application in a variety of learning environments. This research contributes to our current understanding of identity exploration in game- and esports-based learning ecosystems, and offers a framework for designing and researching esports learning ecosystems.

Published: August 2021

Measurement, modeling, and optimization are three important components that must be done to get a better system on the BLDC motor speed control system. The problem that arises in the BLDC motor speed control system is the instability indicated by a high overshoot value, a slow rise time value, and a high error steady-state. The purpose of this study is to increase the stability indicator by eliminating the high value of overshoot and error steady-state and increasing the value of the rise time. The method used in this research is to measure the input and output physical parameters, to model the BLDC motor plant mathematically and the last is to perform optimization using several control methods such as Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control, fuzzy logic intelligent control, and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm. (PSO). Experimental and simulation results show that the PSO algorithm has a better value in increasing stability indicators when compared to the other two control methods with a rise time of 0.00121 seconds, settling time of 0.00241 seconds, and overshoot of 0%.

Published: August 2021

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common burden on health care resources in the Western world and deteriorates the health-related quality of life of those affected, but its manifestations in the general population are as yet unclear.Methods: The present prospective study was conducted on 50 patients of acid peptic disease (APD) of both gender of age 15-75 were randomly selected. APD was diagnosed clinically in patients presenting the symptoms and were subjected to upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy using Pentax FG29 gastroscope. The patients who had the classical symptoms of heart burn and reflux were diagnosed as GERD clinically and were examined for erosive changes by endoscopy.Results: Out of the 16 patients diagnosed as GERD, majority of them 10 (62.5%) were vegetarian and 62.50% had symptoms from 3 to 12 months. 12 (75%) had visible erosions on endoscopy. The remaining 4 (25%) had normal endoscopic picture, the biopsy taken from whom showed inflammatory changes on histopathology.Conclusions: The most common presenting complaint in patients of GERD was heartburn followed by regurgitation of gastric contents. Prevalence of GERD was found 32% in APD. In 12 (24%) of patients oesophagitis was seen on endoscopic examination. After medical treatment for 6-8 weeks, 37.5% of subjects become asymptomatic and 50% had partial symptomatic relief.

Published: August 2021

Background: The aim was to study the genetic association of cardiac conduction defects (CCDs) by evaluating single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in genes of SCN1B and KCNJ2 and to evaluate baseline characteristics between cases and controls.Methods: Case group consisted of 81 individuals with diagnosis of conduction disturbances who underwent permanent pacemaker implantation. The control group consisted of 79 unrelated individuals above 18 years of age of the local population not having a present or past personal or family history (first degree relatives) of any cardiac ailment especially CCDs. Isolation of genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from all samples was done, genomic DNA was checked to ensure the presence of intact DNA.Results: SCN1B: SNP rs55742440 had no bearing on the protein except in producing a splice variant. SNP rs67701503 does not lie in the splice-site region, thus not having any significance in the regulation of the gene as well. NetGene2 analysis of SNP rs67486287 negates its presence in the splice site. KCNJ2:SNP rs199473653 leads to a missense amino acid change, resulting in homozygous GG variant found in almost equal frequency in both groups. SNP rs199473653 gene has not been reported as a disease causing mutation.Conclusions: The alteration of nucleotide in SCN1B intron (SNP rs55742440, rs67701503, rs67486287) between cases and controls was found to have no odds of affecting the outcome of CCD. There was no variation or alteration in nucleotide bases of KCNJ2 (SNP rs786205813, rs199473653) between the groups.

Ketogenic diets have been proposed as effective management approaches that have been validated by many studies in the literature. The efficacy of administering these treatment modalities has been validated by many studies within epilepsy-related syndromes as Rett syndrome, infantile spasms, GLUT-1 deficiency and Dravet syndrome. As a result, it has been noticed that observable favorable outcomes within the first three months from starting the administration of these treatment regimens. In this literature review, we have discussed the dietary therapeutic approaches for managing epilepsy in children. The findings have been combined from different studies in the literature. Many of them are comparative investigations that have indicated the efficacy of these treatment plans in reducing both the frequency of seizures and adequately inhibiting the development of further epilepsy events. Many mechanisms have been proposed for these treatment modalities to inhibit seizures that are adequately discussed in this article. Based on the current evidence, further awareness approaches should be conducted to increase the administration of these products, especially in pharmaco-resistant cases.

Kryzys informacji w zmediatyzowanej sferze publicznej – od mediów tradycyjnych do hybrydowych platform komunikacyjnych
Authors: Szwed Robert
Published: August 2021

The free circulation of information in an open and unfettered public sphere is one of the foundations of well-functioning democracies. For theirs proper functioning, access to reliable information is necessary, which — reaching citizens — allows them to make the right decisions and control power. Many factors should be taken into account when analysing the information production process in new and traditional media: publishers-media owners, advertisers-business, communication technologies, public relations institutions, and now algorithms. An important element are also consumers and prosumers of media content, who try to participate in the media flow of information in a more competent or less competent way. The emergence of communication platforms that redistribute information has revolutionized the relationship between the elite, the media, and the public. More importantly, it contributed to the crisis of the public sphere, trust, and defragmentation of societies. Confused citizens are bombarded with information whose sources they cannot assess and disinformation, fake news, and post-truth have permanently entered the popular dictionary, replacing „unfashionable” propaganda and censorship. The aim of the article will be to analyse the current state of the media sphere through the prism of the weaknesses of traditional journalism, insufficient competences of recipients and uncontrolled flow of information controlled by the attention management industry.
Kultura udomowiona a nowe technologie
Authors: Jędrzejewski Stanisław
Published: August 2021

Although the restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced or completely eliminated the manifestations of artistic life, human ingenuity and simply necessity made it possible to transfer many offline cultural events and events to the online environment. Free online broadcasts from concerts such as the Berlin Philharmonic, opera performances from the New York Metropolitan, as well as theater and music concerts have gained in popularity worldwide. Film production companies have begun to make films available online. The offer of video or VOD (Netflix, YouTube, Twitch, Showmax, Paramount Play) has increased (Upper, 2020). Because, at least in the first phase of the pandemic, the revenue from the cinemas fell, VOD services could watch hits, e.g. in the United States — Emma, and in Poland — Hejter. Virtual tours were offered by well-known museums, such as the Louvre in Paris and international cultural heritage sites, including the Roman Colosseum. Since the outbreak of the epidemic there has also been a rapid increase in online gaming traffic. Finally, after the total suspension, sports competitions, e.g. football matches, came back, but without the participation of the fans, albeit like stand-ups with played recordings of the stadium’s fans’ reactions. In this way, what we call entertainment or popular culture has been domesticated and is done through the media. In this article I review the possibilities that new technologies now offer for domesticated culture in new circumstances forced by a pandemic COVID-19.

Is the commonly used UV filter benzophenone-3 a risk factor for the nervous system?
Authors: Wnuk Agnieszka , Kajta Małgorzata
Published: August 2021

Benzophenone-3 (2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, oxybenzone, or BP-3) is one of the most frequently used UV radiation absorbents, which are commonly referred to as sunscreen filters. Its widespread use in industrial applications provides protection against the photodegradation of a wide range of products but at the same time creates the risk of human exposure to benzophenone-3 unbeknownst to the individuals exposed. Topically applied benzophenone-3 penetrates individual skin layers, enters the bloodstream, and is excreted in the urine. In addition, benzophenone-3 easily crosses the placental barrier, which creates the risk of exposure to this substance in the prenatal period. Despite the widespread use and occurrence of benzophenone-3 in the human environment, little knowledge of the mechanisms underlying the effect of benzophenone-3 on the nervous system was available until recently. Only the most recent research, including studies by our group, has enabled the identification of new molecular mechanisms through which benzophenone-3 affects embryonic neuronal cells and the developing mammalian brain. Benzophenone-3 has been shown to induce neurotoxicity and apoptotic processes and inhibit autophagy in embryonic neuronal cells. Benzophenone-3 also alters expression and impairs function of receptors necessary for the proper development and function of the nervous system. The most worrying finding seems to be that benzophenone-3 contributes to an increased risk of developmental abnormalities and/or epigenetically based degeneration of neuronal cells by changing the epigenetic status of neuronal cells.

Published: August 2021

In the last decade, industrial robots have been used in a variety of ways in manufacturing. Owing to the increasing demand for industrial robots, many institutions offer industrial robotic courses. However, industrial robots have been accepted as an emerging tool when it comes to teaching in the area of vocational education and training (TVET). However, it has proved difficult for teachers to adapt to teaching in this way. This paper presents the investigation of TVET teachers’ perceptions of an industrial robotic training course in Thailand. This course provides inservice training for 67 teachers who teach electrical, mechanical, or mechatronic engineering in vocational colleges. The training course uses a four-phase learning cycle: preparation with regard to the concepts of industrial robotics, pedagogies for teaching and learning, presentation, and the professional learning community. The results show that teachers face barriers and have expectations prior to training. Teachers’ satisfaction with the training course after training was also investigated.

Authors: Gogoi Citumoni
Published: August 2021

Background: Livestock and poultry are considered as one of the source of income for the rural household which need proper care for their livelihood. To safeguard the livestock and poultry from various health related problems, ethno-veterinary practices, the indigenous healing system is the cheapest and easily available natural resources around them. Traditional animal health care practices are mostly from their experiences or passed on from one to another verbally. Methods: The present study was carried in randomly selected villages of Dhemaji district. Field study was conducted from September 2020 - April 2021, among the small household local inhabitant of the selected areas who mostly depend on the livestock and poultry farming for socio-economic development, by performing personal interview, semi-structured questionnaire, group discussion and free consultation was conducted with the local peoples. Result: The study recorded about 36 plant species having medicinal value belonging to 34 genus and 31 families, which are used for treating 22 ailments in livestock. Leaves, stems, fruits, bulb, roots, seeds, rhizomes, bark and peel of plant species are used in treating different ailments of livestock. Leaves (48%) are mostly used in preparing medicine among the other plant parts. Proper documentation of the old practice of ethno-veterinary provides information of the various medicinal plants available around us which are on the verge of extinction due to the negligence by the younger generation and emphasises sustainable use of these resources in our ecosystem. Ethno-Veterinary gives a scope for the pharmaceutical field to discover the bioactive compound present in the plant species for future scientific medical treatment.

Published: August 2021

Background: During a study on the outbreak of orf in goats, it was intended to study the disease transmissibility in different hosts from field samples and ascertain the infective potential of the agent in laboratory animals compared to goats. Methods: Cutaneous clinical materials from orf virus (ORFV) infected goats was used to experimentally infect naive goats, rabbits and mice and ascertain its infective potential and transmissibility in different hosts. The processed inoculum was applied topically to mimic a natural transmission through injured skin. Regular skin biopsies were taken that revealed characteristic macroscopic and microscopic lesions typical of orf. Result: Virus inoculum applied on abraded skin in goats successfully established the lesions of orf. A parallel inoculation in rabbit and mice could not successfully reproduce the disease in these unnatural hosts beyond a subtle vesicular stage on 3 dpi with subsequent healing by 7 dpi. The lesions in goats regressed spontaneously by 28 days post-infection (dpi). Intracytoplasmic inclusions were associated only in the vesicular stage. Immunopathological progression was observed by immunoperoxidase staining of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells which were found to appear by day 5 in the dermis and became more abundant and distributed by day 8, but subsequently reduced in number by 15 dpi. CD4+ cells were found to be more numerous and widespread. Viral antigen in tissues could be demonstrated by 4 dpi by immunohistological methods that increased in signal intensity progressively and disappear by 28 dpi. Similarly, viral nucleic acid in the skin could be detected on day 8 dpi but not on 28 dpi by PCR. The present experiment depicts the ease of disease transmissibility through traumatized skin in the primary hosts, but establishment in unnatural hosts may not be readily achieved. The infection was self-limiting with possibly no virus latency as indicated by immunofluorescence and PCR studies.

Published: August 2021

Background: Blackgram is generally considered as a shade sensitive crop. Nevertheless, it fits well in intercropping, crop rotation and crop mixture in coconut gardens thus forming an integral part of cropping systems of the tropics. To encourage and extend blackgram cultivation in coconut gardens, suitable varieties tolerant to shade, need to be identified. The current study aims to screen shade tolerant blackgram varieties with respect to morpho-physiological characters and yield. Methods: Field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2019 at College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Kerala, India. Uniformly spaced coconut palms of age above 40 years were selected having a light intensity of 40-46.5 Klux. Twelve promising blackgram varieties along with three cultures were evaluated under low light intensity in coconut garden. Morpho-physiological attributes and yields were recorded and analysed statistically. Result: Superior growth attributes and physiological parameters like stomatal frequency, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate were recorded in varieties namely, DBGV 5, Sumanjana and VBN 5. These varieties were found tolerant to low light intensity with DBGV 5 recording significantly higher yield (1183.33 kg ha-1) followed by VBN 5 (916.67 kg ha-1) and Sumanjana (906.67 kg ha-1) and could be recommended as suitable for intercropping in coconut garden.

Published: August 2021

Background: Powdery mildew (PM) possesses a wide range of host plants, including mungbean that causes severe yield reductions. Using resistant varieties is an economically and environmentally effective approach in controlling the disease. Methods: In this study, the genetic basis of inheritance and marker loci for PM resistance were investigated using 126 F2:9 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) raised from resistant and susceptible parents, V4785 and CN72, respectively. PM reaction in these RILs was visually scored from natural infection in the field and the segregation pattern was determined by the chi-square test (χ2). Result: The results revealed the segregation ration of 1:1, indicative of a dominantly inherited resistance gene controlling resistance against PM in V4785. Observation of potential polymorphism in two parents and two different bulks, each containing 10 RIL individuals showing either the highest resistance or susceptibility, identified 2 and 37 putatively linked inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and ISSR-anchored resistance gene analog (ISSR-RGA) markers, respectively. Of these, 1 ISSR and 3 ISSR-RGA markers were stably inherited and linked to PM resistance (P less than 0.01). These linked marker systems may prove useful for facilitating the improvement of a durable resistant variety through marker-assisted selection in mungbean breeding programs.
