Research Roundup: Upping Your Digital Storytelling Game
Authors: Sensale Yazdian Lisa M. , Diamant-Cohen Betsy
Published: April 2023

In the spring 2021 issue, we discussed the benefits of Vivian Paley’s storytelling practice on language and literacy skills, social emotional development, creativity, and motivation. Traditional storytelling is powerful in its own right, but we would be remiss if we did not also mention the benefits of digital storytelling—the process of using multimedia tools to tell a story. A digital story can be something as simple as narrating a story over a single photo or as complex as a movie with audio and visual effects. Allowing children to use technology to tell stories can generate interest and motivation in content creation, ignite creativity, and support the development of twenty-first century literacy skills. Here’s a look at some storytelling tools that can be used to elevate the voices of children and families across settings.

Published: April 2023

I had never thought about being a leader of any sort. Leadership wasn’t any part of my aspiration growing up. I come from a working-class family. Both my parents spent their childhoods running between shelters, away from the American airplanes dropping bombs on Japanese military bases in Taiwan. World War II interrupted their elementary education and thrusted them into a life of blue-collar workforce long before they were ready for adulthood. While they cared about their children’s education, the necessity to keep our family above the water meant that we the children had no role model for what career we could dream of and how far we could reach for our future.

Creation of the list was proposed in the hopes that the list would raise awareness of government documents in libraries and among library users.
Documents Without Borders: Show Me the (International) Data!
Authors: Shaffer Dory
Published: April 2023

Some research is done in carefully controlled environments—where researchers painstakingly alter variables to determine how their change affects certain outcomes. These experiments, designed to test various theories and hypotheses, are dependent on the ability of researchers to control potential variables. Yet other methodologies focus on situations where the change in variables were dictated by policy, business, or social shifts. When these shifts happen on a large scale, international data is an invaluable tool for determining actual effects. In this column I will explore several international government data sources and their use in academic research.

A Web-based application for recommendation of open source software for higher learning institutions in Tanzania
Authors:   , Okey Ambokile
Published: April 2023

Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) perform a vital role in developing students to professionals, and in contributing to social and industrial development through research outputs and delivering professional support to different organizations. The growth of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has led to the high use of software tools for supporting the roles of HLIs to deliver high-quality research and education. However, most of the Proprietary Software (PS) tools are expensive, hence hindering HLIs in Tanzania from using them for their core activities. Open Source Software (OSS) provide advantages for HLIs because they remove the cost of acquiring licenses and prevent software illegality issues. However, in Tanzania, most of HLIs do not use OSS due to lack of awareness. This study aimed at improving the adoption of OSS in Tanzanian HLIs through enhancement of individual awareness on the existing OSS designed for academic purposes using a recommender application. The application uses three recommendation approaches: content-based, demographic and collaborative filtering. Questionnaires were used for identifying currently used software in different academic areas of specializations and gathering requirements for development of a web-based application. Further, it explored useful OSS designed for academic purposes from online platforms and categorized them according to their academic area of use. The list of categorized OSS were uploaded to the application’s database and used as a foundation for recommendations. The developed application passed a test against users’ requirements as it was able to: recommend OSS, send notification through user’s email, allow view and download, and accept users’ feedbacks.
Development of a web and mobile application for drug abuse information awareness
Authors:   , Mnunguli Joyce
Published: April 2023

The harmful use of illicit drugs, “Drug Abuse”, is the most frequent problem in the world. The awareness creation of drug abuse information to the community reduces the usage of illegal drugs. The collection and management of addicts’ data, statistics about addicts, storage and accessibility of drug abuse information are conducted on paper-based approaches. This results in several problems such as loss of data, time consumption in data collection and delay in reporting. This study aimed to improve accessibility of drug abuse information through development of mobile application for addicts’ data collection and web application for accessibility of drug abuse information awareness and retrieval of treatment center reports. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews and observations. The study shows that there is limited information on drug abuse issues to the community. The developed mobile and web applications were evaluated and tested through field study to assess usability and effective of data entry. The applications improve accessibility of drug abuse information, addicts’ data collection and reporting, statistics on drug usage and number of addicts on treatment, storage of addicts’ information and improving awareness program conducted by the drug control commission. Thus, provides drug abuse information awareness to the community, policy makers and researchers. The viability of both developed mobile and web application is to minimize resources such as human effort, cost, and time consumption during data collection, as well as appropriate storage of addicts’ data.

Данъчно облагане на информационните и комуникационните технологии и данъчните приходи в слабо развита икономика
Authors: Омодеро Корделия
Published: April 2023

През годините информационните и комуникационните технологии си проправят път в развитите страни, а чрез трансфер на технологии бързо се разширяват и в по-слабо развитите. Тези технологични постижения осигуряват различни икономически ползи за развиващите се страни като Нигерия. Освен че развиват пазарите, нововъведенията в областта на информационните и комуникационните технологии повишава приходите в държавния бюджет посредством въведения специфичен данък върху приходите на търговските предприятия с технологични дейности. Основната цел на изследването е да се проучи влиянието на на-ционалното данъчно облагане на развитието на информационните комуникационни технологии върху общите данъчни приходи в Нигерия. Проучването обхваща периода от 2010 г. до 2019 г., като се използват статистически данни от Организацията за икономическо сътрудничество и развитие (ОИСР) и Федералната данъчна служба (ФДС) на Нигерия. Зависимата променлива е общият данъчен приход, а независимите променливи са националният данък за развитие на информационните технологии (НДРИТ) и отвореността на търговията. Резултатите от регресионния анализ показват, че НДРИТ има значително положително влияние върху общия данъчен приход при ниво на значимост от 1%, докато отвореността на търговията допринася за данъчните приходи при ниво на значимост от 10%. И двата резултата са значими и валидни. Политическите изводи са, че правителството трябва да подкрепя общия ръст на информационните и комуникационните технологии в страната с цел да поощри създаването на международни бизнес отношения и да увеличи данъчните приходи в страната. Въз основа на резултатите от проучването се препоръчва да се осигури стабилно подаване на електроенергия с цел ефективно прилагане на информационни комуникационни технологии като например интернет свързаност, разработване на уебсайтове и ефективни операции.

homogeneous groups based on the relative shares of GDP of eight subgroups of
government expenditures on economic affairs (according to the Classification
of the Functions of Government - COFOG) and thus compare the extent of their
governments’ intervention in economic affairs. The homogeneous groups were
defined by means of a non-hierarchical cluster analysis (K-means) method using
the Euclidean distance as a measure of dissimilarity. The results of the clustering
of the 25 EU member states by government expenditure by economic function
(according to COFOG) reveals the similarities and differences among these
countries in terms of their economic interventionism. They also define which
economic affairs need government intervention to mitigate the negative effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Treméa Elizângela , Schaurich Amanda Caroline Schallenberger , Silva Emanuele Kelli Samaia
Published: April 2023

A fome e a insegurança alimentar são preocupações atuais, pois ainda são realidade de parte da população mundial. Assim, a Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional - SAN surge como ferramenta essencial na busca da garantia de uma alimentação segura para a população. Neste cenário, surge ainda o Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada - DHAA, que prevê o acesso a uma alimentação saudável e digna para todos. A SAN ganha destaque na luta pela consolidação do DHAA e contra a fome, pois é necessária para que possa se falar em alimentação adequada. Outrossim, ao longo dos anos surgiram, no Brasil, diversas políticas públicas no sentido de reafirmar e confirmar o Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada e à segurança alimentar. Todavia, algumas políticas alimentares não estão consolidadas de maneira eficaz até o momento, atendendo uma parcela mínima do público-alvo. Desse modo, esse artigo pretende expor a relação do DHAA com a SAN, bem como fazer uma breve elucidação das políticas públicas brasileiras que tratam do assunto e analisar a eficácia destas. A realização do estudo tem como base o método dialético, que proporciona uma análise de considerações sobre alimentação. Os procedimentos técnicos foram baseados na pesquisa bibliográfica, utilizando artigos, legislação e doutrina.
A insegurança alimentar dos escolares em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Soares Simone Cesario , Roesler Marli Renate von Borstel
Published: April 2023

De forma geral, os Direitos Humanos podem ser compreendidos como aqueles que o indivíduo possui, simplesmente por ser uma pessoa humana, pela importância de sua existência, como, por exemplo: o direito à vida, à família, à alimentação, à educação, ao trabalho, à liberdade, à orientação sexual e ao meio ambiente. Assim, a busca pelo desenvolvimento perpassa pela dignidade humana, naquilo que é essencial ao humano, à alimentação. A busca pelo progresso diz respeito a uma sociedade e não a grupos ou setores privilegiados, não ocorre individualmente e sem critérios. Desta forma, se faz necessário pensar novas formas e processos produtivos que considerem a natureza como bem essencial ao humano que respeite a dignidade da pessoa humana. Assim, este artigo buscou compreender as várias dimensões do conceito de desenvolvimento, a partir da segurança alimentar, principalmente das crianças em idade escolar da rede estadual de educação do Paraná, através do PNAE. Com o estudo, foi possível compreender que apesar das legislações vigentes, bem como tratados e acordos de dimensões nacional e internacional, o problema da fome ainda se faz mais presente; e, considerando a pandemia, este tem se agravado, assim a sociedade, bem como os Estados ainda precisam considerar a alimentação como um direito inalienável diante da existência humana.

Idealismo transcendental e a filosofia positiva em face das críticas ao fenômeno religioso
Authors: Pinto Edenilson Roberto
Published: April 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar a influência das filosofias kantianas e positivistas na compreensão do fenômeno religioso, deslocando o conhecimento religioso para o campo da moral e da subjetividade, realçando a carência cognitiva objetiva e empírica do fenômeno religioso. Dessa forma, a partir do idealismo transcendental de Kant e, posteriormente, com o conceito de Religião Racionalista de Auguste Comte, o dado religioso é deslocado para a área do conhecimento subjetivo e apreendido apenas no campo da moral e não mais no campo da ciência empírica. Esse deslocamento do fenômeno religioso para o universo subjetivo acarretará uma mudança de época, cuja modernidade será a expressão de uma era marcada pelo positivismo científico radical. E tal compreensão moderna dos fenômenos da vida humana, em particular do fenômeno religioso, reduzirá a apreensão do real, impondo apenas um modo de conhecimento da realidade, o modo empírico, racionalista e positivista válido tanto para o universo material, quanto mental e ou espiritual.

The intellectual property rights (IPR) are intangible in nature and gives exclusive rights to inventor or developer for their relevant invention or creation. This right provides the inventor jurisdiction over the fabrication of his own to explore convenience if used by others. These comforts may appear in the form of regard and identification or monetary or material benefits or more. These rights magnify the contemporary environment by giving recognition and economic benefits to developers or inventors whereas the lack of IPR perception and its unproductive execution may hamper the economic, technical and societal developments of a nation. The present paper summarizes various terms of IPR such as patents, trademarks, industrial designs, geographic indications, copyright, etc. with their corresponding rules, regulations, their require and bit part especially concern to Indian context. Further, the status of India’s participation in IPR related pursuit across the world has been considered in brief.

A STUDY ON JUVENILE DELIQUENCY
Authors: Panjwani Vidhika
Published: April 2023

Children are the hope for the future of our nation. Individuals are responsible for making their homes and communities safe and welcoming. It has been proven with data that the rate of adolescent delinquency has increased dramatically in emerging nations such as India during the previous decade. The fundamental question that arises as a result of this is how did the concept of juvenile delinquency come about? Despite the fact that delinquency may be found in many countries, it is more prevalent in highly industrialized countries with significant urban populations. The phrase was coined in order to protect juvenile lawbreakers from the embarrassment of being labelled as criminals in court records. The primary goal of juvenile legislation is to deal with delinquents. However, since the number of crimes committed by juveniles continues to rise in the current environment, the phrase "juvenile crime" has become a source of embarrassment. Delinquents are more likely to come from households that are tense and have a lot of difficulties in their relationships. As the rate of juvenile criminality continues to rise, it is imperative that the appropriate actions be taken and that an amendment should be included into the current legislation so that it may be implemented and enforced in a rigorous manner.
DISTRIBUTION OF POWER BETWEEN CENTRE AND STATE: THE LEGISLATIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECT
Authors: Jindal Siya
Published: April 2023

A country consisting of 28 states and eight federal territories, India follows a federal system in which legislative, administrative and financial powers are divided between the federal / central and state governments. This research paper examines the legislative powers of the Centre and the detailed constitutional provisions for the three lists, namely the union list, the state list, and the states listed at the same time, under Article 245, Article 254 of the Constitution. In addition, this paper analyses the division of administrative power when the powers of unions and state governments extend to the subject of the list of unions and states, respectively, as defined in Article 256, Article 263 of the Constitution. The end-of-life study also educates readers about the exercise of administrative and legislative power over federal territory by the central government and the president of the country. Like other federal constitutions, the central and state governments work closely together, and in most cases one jurisdiction exclude the other.
RIGHTS OF LABOUR IN INDIA
Authors: Sen Arghya
Published: April 2023

In a labour-intensive country like India, where more than 90 percent of the 450 million-strong labour force work in the informal sector with low wages, no social security, no bonuses, and some are even deprived of fundamental rights guaranteed by the Indian constitution due to illiteracy and poverty even though such workforce is considered as the backbone of the economy. In India, workers' fundamental rights have traditionally been governed by a plethora of labour laws, many of which overlap and are regulated by a broad range of authorities. The approach has generally been that of compliance while placing little emphasis on the employers' duty to improve labour conditions for a significant portion of the workforce. In this paper, the details of the rights that workers in India enjoy under the "Indian Constitution" as well as the 27 laws passed by the central government that have now been optimized and codified into four labour codes that are universally applicable within the Indian borders are discussed. This study seeks to discover every improvement in labour rights brought by the government or by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, High Courts and tribunals through their judgements over the years. In India, both central legislations and the constitution provides to protect labour rights and eliminate exploitation. Most workers are unaware of the rights that have been developed specifically for them to protect their interests. This paper attempts to compile all of the laws and provisions that a worker should be aware of.
CURRENT INTERNATIONAL LAW FOR CYBER CRIMES: A NEED FOR NEXT STEP
Authors: DIXIT EKTA
Published: April 2023

Through a wide variety of restrictions and regulations, the International Law regulates the relationship between nations and other international players (such as international organisations). From weapons control to international commerce, to environment, it has been used as a framework for governing global governance. The importance of international law in cyber environment has developed as governments pay greater attention to the ‘governance of cyberspace’ (the technological infrastructure that enables the global internet to work) and ‘governance in cyberspace” (how states, industry, and individuals may utilise this technology). However, apart from few exceptions such as the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime1 and the African Union Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection (yet to be in effect), the international law does not provide specific guidelines for cyberspace regulation. Moreover, it's a cutting-edge technology that's constantly evolving. As a result, for many years, it was unclear whether or not existing international law extended to the domain of Internet. The nation states and international organisations such as the UN's First Committee on Disarmament and International Security, the G20, European Union, the ASEAN, and the Organization of American States (OAS) have all stated that existing international law applies to states' use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Thus, International Law is no more a question of whether, but rather how it functions. While many other international......

Published: April 2023

Sejak pertengahan tahun 2020 Kementerian Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset, dan Teknologi mulai menetapkan adanya Asesmen Nasional yang sejalan dengan program Merdeka Belajar. Sejak dihapusnya kegiatan Ujian Nasional dan Ujian Sekolah Berstandar Nasional oleh Menteri Kemendikbudristek sejak tahun 2020, maka untuk mengevaluasi mutu dari suatu pendidikanpemerintah mengambil suatu kebijakan untuk mengevaluasi mutu pendidikan melalui sistem Asesmen Nasional. Perubahan mendasar dari adanya Asesmen Nasional ini adalah tidak lagi mengevaluasi capaian murid secara individu, namun mengevaluasi dan memetakan sistem pendidikan dalam lingkup kelembagaan dimana siswa tersebut telah menempuh pendidikan dalam lembaga tersebut. Untuk mendukung pelaksanaan kegiatan Sistem Asesmen Nasional ini perlu menyusun perangkat komputeryang terhubung dengan jaringan komputer. Pada tingkatan pendidikan Sekolah Dasar (SD) khususnya di SDN Kelapa Dua 01 untuk menilai kualitas mutu pendidikan dilaksanakannya program Assesmen Nasional dengan Berbasis Komputer (ANBK). Dimana pada sekolah tersebut untuk kegiatan Asesmen Nasional masih menerapkan model pelaksanaan semi online yang pada penerapannya komputer client atau komputer siswa tidak dapat akses internet sedangkan server yang digunakan untuk menampungsoal harus dapat akses internet, maka perlu dilakukan perbaikan instalasi jaringan komputer yang sesuai dengan petunjuk teknis dari Kemendikbudristek agar dapat menjalankan program ANBK dengan baik.

Hal ini dapat dibuktikan dengan banyaknya perusahaan-perusahaan yang bergerak dibidang layanan Internet dan e-commerce menggunakan Linux sebagai Sistem Operasi utama pada Servernya, seperti eToys.com, freshmeat.net, Mweb.co.id, Satunet Group, dan lain-lain. Semua software Linux dapat dimiliki secara bebas berdasarkan lisensi GNU General Public License. Berdasarkan lisensi, siapapun dapat memiliki program baik dalam bentuk source code (dapat dibaca oleh manusia) maupun binary (bahasa mesin), sehingga program tersebut dapat dipelajari, dirubah, didistribusikan, maupun dikembangkan lebih lanjut oleh siapa saja. Lain halnya dengan Microsoft Windows yang tidak dapat dimiliki secara bebas dan diwajibkan membayar Lisensi dengan harga yang sangat mahal bagi yang ingin memilikinya. Selain itu Microsoft Windows bersifat tertutup (Close Source), dimana pengguna atau pemakai tidak dapat merubah, mengkopi serta mendistribusikan program tersebut. Munculnya Perusahaan-perusahaan berskala kecil maupun Home Industry yang memerlukan servis jaringan dan aplikasi Internet, dengan persediaan dana dan hardware yang terbatas, maka dapat memilih Linux sebagai Sistem Operasi yang murah tetapi stabil dan mampu melaksanakan semua servis jaringan dan aplikasi Internet. Dari paparan di atas, maka penulis mengangkat permasalahan ini untuk diketengahkan menjadi sebuah bahasan, sehingga kita dapat bertindak sebagai System Administrator jaringan kita sendiri, tanpa perlu membayar orang lain untuk menginstall serta mengkonfigurasi jaringan komputer.

Activated carbon is a material that contains high carbon elements and has a porous solid. The material used in this research is a nutmeg shell. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of activated charcoal from the shell of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) as activated carbon in treating domestic wastewater. The variables studied to compare the effect of the wastewater absorption process are the concentration of the chemical NaOH 15% with temperature variations of 400ºC, 450ºC, and 500ºC. The best activation results were obtained at a temperature of 450ºC with a water content of 4.22%, an ash content of 10.24%, and iodinecontent of 577,395 mg/g. Activated charcoal parameters refer to SNI 06-3730-1995 regarding the quality standard requirements for activated charcoal. Wastewater management by activated charcoal from the shell of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) with a concentration of 10, 15, 20 grams of activated charcoal. The best results were obtained by the concentration of activated charcoal 20 grams with a pH value of 9.0, TSS 0.663 mg/L, BOD 7.3 mg/L. For pH parameters, the effectiveness of activated charcoal is less than the maximum, and it does not meet quality standards.

This study resolves the phylogenetic position of an anamorphic synnematous genus, Gangliostilbe, (typified by G. indica) collected from the Northern Western Ghats of India. Gangliostilbe can be distinguished based on its erect synnemata, simple, dark-coloured, well-defined stalk, a subglobose to clavate head, and solitary, acrogenous, brown, phragmoconidia having three or more septa that secede through gangliar conidiogenesis. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS and LSU sequence data supported the placement of Gangliostilbe in Xenospadicoidaceae (Xenospadicoidales). Gangliostilbe is the only genus in Xenospadicoidaceae having synnematous conidiomata and gangliar conidiogenesis.

The study was to identify the effects of e-resource use by staff and students for teaching and learning. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. The target population included Academic Staff and Students from three selected faculties, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Business and Management and Faculty of Biomedical sciences, and library administrators of KIU western campus, totaling 5223. The data obtained from the field were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean) and presented in frequency tables and inferential statistics. It was found out that e-resources were not being used for teaching and learning. To this effect, teaching and learning will be carried on effectively and efficiently. All teaching rooms should have functioning internet access to enable demonstration of e-resources for teaching and learning. Keywords: e-resource, staff, students, teaching and learning

Background: We sought to investigate the impact of an NCCN-compliant multidisciplinary conference on treatment decisions of patients with localized prostate cancer. Methods: A retrospective review of our quality assurance localized prostate cancer database was performed. All patients with localized prostate cancer who sought a second opinion at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center between 2009 and 2019 were presented to the multidisciplinary Localized Prostate Cancer Conference (LPCC) that includes urologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and patient advocates. Multivariable regression models were fit to evaluate variables associated with concordance between community recommendations, LPCC recommendations, and treatment received by patients. Results: A total of 1,164 patients were identified, of whom 26% had NCCN very low-/low-risk, 27% had favorable intermediate-risk, 25% had unfavorable intermediate-risk, and 22% had high-/very high-risk prostate cancer. Pathology changed in 11% of patients after genitourinary pathologist review, which caused disease reclassification in 9%. Concordance between community and LPCC recommendations occurred in 78%, with lowest concordance for androgen deprivation therapy (21%) and radiotherapy (53%). Concordance between community recommendations and treatment received occurred in 65%, with lowest concordance for androgen deprivation therapy and radiotherapy; among those who were recommended radiotherapy as the only option by their community urologist, only 26% received it. Concordance between LPCC recommendations and treatment received occurred in 92%. Conclusions: Community recommendations differed from the multidisciplinary NCCN-compliant recommendations in 22% of patients, primarily for radiotherapy. Multidisciplinary recommendations matched the treatment received in 92% of patients compared with 65% for community recommendations.

Background: Chemotherapy predisposes people who menstruate to abnormal uterine bleeding that can be life-threatening and may also damage ovaries, resulting in premature menopause. The purpose of this study was to explore the incidence of menstrual history documentation and counseling before, during, and after cancer treatment. Patients and Methods: The medical charts of 137 consecutive females (self-reported) aged 18 to 49 years receiving anticancer treatment at a major tertiary metropolitan hospital in Australia between 2017 and 2020 were reviewed. Data collected included primary diagnosis, stage of cancer, treatment(s) received, rates of remission or progression, documentation of involvement of a specialist gynecologist, reproductive history, menstrual disturbances, menstruation counseling or intervention offered, and diagnosis of early ovarian failure. Results: Only 16.1% of patients had their menstrual history documented at the initial consult, and 49.6% had their menstrual history documented at a subsequent consult with their treating oncologist or hematologist. Most (82.4%) patients with a menstrual history documented experienced menstrual disturbance posttreatment, most commonly amenorrhea (48.0%), followed by menopause or menopause symptoms (20.6%), irregular menstrual bleeding (16.7%), menorrhagia (13.7%), dysmenorrhea (3.9%), and iron deficiency from bleeding (2.9%). Menopause/Menopausal symptoms and iron deficiency were more likely to be treated than other disturbances. Conclusions: Menstruation disturbance is a common side effect of cancer treatment. Menstrual care should be integral to cancer care for people who menstruate, and higher engagement could be achieved through education of medical and allied health staff, information technology systems automating prompts and referral pathways, regular audits to ensure compliance, better alliances between cancer and fertility specialists, and the creation of accessible patient information to promote awareness and facilitate discussion.
