Published: January 2024

Phishing is a widespread cybercrime where scammers trick people into sharing personal or confidential information by pretending to be a legitimate website. Despite various machine learning methods developed for detecting phishing websites using features from web samples, not much attention has been given to picking the right features efficiently. This study aims to figure out the crucial features necessary for effective phishing detection, improving the accuracy and efficiency of machine learning systems. By identifying and prioritizing these features, our research contributes to creating simpler methods that keep users safe from phishing threats. We focus on pinpointing the key characteristics that consistently set phishing websites apart from legitimate ones, enhancing the precision and reliability of phishing detection algorithms through careful analysis and experimentation. This work aligns with broader goals of strengthening cybersecurity measures, protecting individuals and organizations from falling victim to online deception, and giving users more robust tools for secure online navigation.To evaluate the feature selection in developing ageneralizable phishing detection, these classifiers are trained by a separate out-of-sample data set of 14,000 website samples. The maximum F-measure gained feature selection is 95% using Random Forest classification. Also, there are 9 universal features selected over all the three data sets. The F-measure value using this universal feature set is approximately 93% which is a comparable result in contrast to performance. Since the universal feature set contains no features from third-part services, this finding implies that with no inquiry from external sources, we can gain a fast phishing detection which is also robust toward zero-day attacks
The protective effects of betanin against experimental gastric ulcer by reduction of ROS and suppression of inflammatory genes via NF-κB, iNOS, COX-2 and TNF-α pathways
Authors: Alghamdi Othman A.
Published: January 2024

Betanin, a prominent compound found in beetroot, however, the potential protective effects of this compound against gastric damage and ulceration have yet to be explored. This study aims to investigate the impact of purified beetroot betanin (Bet) on the activities of inflammatory enzymes and gene expressions associated with inflammation in gastric tissues. Gastric ulcer rats were induced by ethanol at dose 5ml/kg body weight. Ulcerated rats were treated by purified betanin or omeprazole; from which some inflammation-related genes and gastric-inflammation enzymes were investigated using RT-PCR and biochemical analysis, respectively. Bet effectively suppressed the activities of key enzymes involved in gastric mucosal inflammation, including 5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO), Hyaluronidase (HAase), and myeloperoxidase (MPO), by 58%, 50%, and 45%, respectively. Docking studies showed Bet binding to catalytic sites or key regions for enzymes’ activities, thus explaining the inhibitory capacity. Bet ingestion decreased the expression levels of inflammation-related genes, factor-kappa B (NF-ϰB) by 57%. This down-regulation subsequently led to a reduction in the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Bet ingestion supressed thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) rates by 59%, augmented nitric oxide (NO) level by 107% and protected gastric tissues from damage and ulceration. Bet revealed gastro-protective effects as confirmed by a reduction in the ulceration surface area and the acidity by 75.9% and 40%, respectively, and a significant increase in the weight of mucus and the curative index by 117% and 74.5%, respectively. In conclusion, these outcomes of physiological and molecular-based investigations are indicative of potential use of Bet as a functional food additive for the prevention of gastric ulcer.
Critical issues facing Georgia residents: An application of the Delphi technique and community capitals framework
Authors: Powell Alyssa , Lamm Kevan , Borron Abigail , Lamm Alexa
Published: January 2024

The 21st century has brought with it unforeseen challenges and influential trends that will have significant impact of the livelihood and wellbeing of Georgia residents. Extension personnel within Georgia can extend their mandate by identifying issues that represent present and near-present threats and use these issues to inform programming and direct resource allocation. The conceptual basis for this study relied upon the community capitals framework and the consensus-building theory. Data were collected using a three-round Delphi process, with an expert panel comprised of 19 Extension leadership and administrative personnel. Descriptive statistics, including mean importance scores and absolute frequency counts, were computed. A final list of 21 unique issues resulted from the Delphi process and was analyzed thematically using the constant comparative method. Five heuristic themes resulted from this analysis: 1) Investment in Youth and Adults, 2) Agricultural and Rural Economic Development, 3) Agriculture and Food Safety Information, 4) Resource Access and Availability, 5) Social and Personal Economic Concerns. Comparison with the community capitals framework revealed that multiple capitals interacted within each of the resulting themes. Utilizing the Delphi technique in conjunction with the community capitals framework enables extension professionals to compare community resources and strengths and may allow for greater efficiency in addressing critical issues. The immediate efforts of extension personnel should be directed towards addressing issues within the Investment in Youth and Adults and Resource Access and Availability themes. We recommend using the associated community capitals as strategic entry points for further discussion and program development.
A case study analysis of problem-based learning within a fabrication laboratory in a southwestern secondary charter school
Authors: Rice Amber , Merrick Taylor
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore how teachers at a southwestern secondary private charter school utilize the on-campus fabrication lab to promote the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL). Guided by the theory of constructivism, I qualitatively explored the processes teachers engage in when implementing a PBL lesson using a multi-case study design. Five teachers and two fabrication lab directors from various content areas were interviewed and observed. Five overall themes emerged from the data: 1) the differing emphasis on PBL framework components; 2) conflicts, limitations, and constraints perceived with PBL; 3) teachers use of PBL for cognitive development; 4) the role of the environment in PBL; and 5) the role of reflection in the PBL framework. Research recommendations include further exploration into the factors that contribute to a positive environment conducive to PBL, in-depth investigation into the role of each step in the PBL framework, and additional observation periods to elicit the impacts of PBL over time. Recommendations for practice include purposeful teacher reflection, scaffolded planning, strengthening connections between PBL and real-world applications, and strategies for increased student support and encouragement in the classroom.
Global guides: Defining teachers’ viewpoints about global food insecurity using Q methodology
Authors: Spence Jessica , Letot C. , Foster Daniel , Rewine Tobin , McCubbins O.P.
Published: January 2024

As global food security concerns continue to expand, education systems are called to help produce globally competent students nimble in addressing complex issues. Secondary educators are vital in this mission of developing a globally competent workforce, and their perspectives on global issues impact how students learn about these concepts. In this study, we aimed to explain the viewpoints of a group of educators on global learning issues, specifically food security. We conducted a Q method study with 34 educators to characterize their viewpoints of priority issues related to global learning of food security. In relation to food insecurity, we identified five personas from educators’ prioritization of global food security issues: conservative conservationists, enlightened equalists, futurists, trainers and teachers, and mindful producers. The perspectives of these personas were used to further understand the educators’ perspectives of global competency of the group through the Asia Society’s (2018) model of Four Domains for Global Competence and of current international sustainability goals.
Influence of school garden learning approach on academic development of global service-learners
Authors: Ikendi Samuel , Retallick Michael S. , Nonnecke Gail R. , Kugonza Donald R.
Published: January 2024

Students need to develop cross-cultural awareness and understanding, which has led educational institutions to create high-impact global programs to enhance their academic learning. Global service-learning, a U.S.-based pedagogy, interconnects service-learning, study abroad, and international education programs. A service-learning program in [Country] was founded on the school garden approach which was conceptualized based on the emphasis by the Food and Agricultural Organization in 2004. NGO1, [State University], and [Country University] adopted school gardens as a feasible approach to fulfill the service-learning curricular objectives and meet NGO1’s goal of solving undernutrition in schools using garden products in school lunches. This study sought to determine the influence of service-learning program activities on alumni’s academic development. Alumni (n = 274) from 2006-2019 completed a self-administered questionnaire through Qualtrics where 94.2% responded. A principal components analysis (PCA) was employed, aligning activities into three components. The first component loaded school gardening, bi-national team projects, arrival orientations, farmer field visits, and school teaching assistance, depicting alumni’s community engagement in reciprocal learning. Component two loaded journaling/logbooks, critical reflections, and presentations, depicting alumni’s reflexive actions resulting in cognitive development through documenting and confronting their assumptions about their service-learning activities. Component three loaded co-curricular, tours and travels, and social parties, portraying alumni’s social life that provided opportunities to learn about distinct cultures. Pre-departure orientations loaded well on [State University] alumni’s PCA which mitigated culture shocks while in [Country]. Alumni could benefit overall from more instructor-led cognitive development activities whereby they could both learn from and question their activities.
Using respondent-driven sampling to identify key players in Georgia farm to school: An innovative application of a narrative inquiry approach
Authors: Davidson Jade , Peake Jason
Published: January 2024

Farm to School is a program that teaches children about healthy practices around agriculture, food, nutrition, and the environment. Organizations such as the National Farm to School Network (NFSN) serve as information resource centers for those looking to champion Farm to School in their area. In Georgia, Georgia Organics is listed as the lead organization for Farm to School and its related programs, yet no account exists detailing Farm to School’s start in Georgia, which is complicated by different participants applying Farm to School in diverse ways. This article is the first in a series and aims to name the early champions of the program. The study used a qualitative narrative inquiry approach. A semi-structured appreciative inquiry-framed interview protocol guided data collection. Researchers used respondent-driven sampling to recruit participants. Results are presented as a reader’s theater dialogue in podcast form. In total, six participants held a director role, three a CEO role, two a specialist role, and one an educator role. Future research should seek to build upon this study: This study represents a sampling of some key players in Farm to School in [STATE], some of whom indicated they were directly involved in the early days of Farm to School and others who were only aware of the early days tangentially. Future research should explore other ways to identify key players in Farm to School and how they are related to the individuals in this article. Educators can use this information to identify whom they should include in their programs.
Virtual reality in welding training and education: A literature review
Authors: Heibel Brittney , Anderson Ryan , Drewery Merritt
Published: January 2024

The welding workforce is facing a deficit of skilled welders, highlighting the need to develop more efficient and effective welding training methods. Virtual reality (VR) technologies have been adopted to create VR welding simulations for educational and training purposes. The purpose of this literature review was to collect and analyze peer-reviewed research, published between 2012-2022, regarding VR technology applications in welding training. The concept of Engagement in Blended Learning Environments served as our research framework. In the context of welding, VR welding training is a relatively new approach that functions as a blended learning environment. During data collection, we identified 31 articles; however, following analysis and coding, 13 were excluded, for a final N=18. Through a process of triangulation, we identified themes across existing research to highlight trends, recommendations for real-world welding practice, and recommendations for future research. Four main research themes emerged from the literature: 1. Comparison of Approaches, 2. VR as a Teaching Tool, 3. System Development, and 4. System Testing. Six future research recommendations were identified and grouped, including the recommendation to compare virtual weld performances to live weld performances. Four practitioner-based recommendation themes were identified, including the recommendation for instructors to develop their own knowledge and skills related to VR welding technology. From this review, we identified gaps in the existing literature and made recommendations for future research on VR welding training.

Authors: Byrd Allison , Gibson Kristin , Sanders Catherine , Corry Rachel , Lamm Kevan , Lamm Alexa
Published: January 2024

University agricultural educators are challenged to employ innovative approaches to prepare undergraduates in agriculture and natural resources to address complex global problems while understanding interconnected systems. Undergraduates, current members of Generation Z (Gen Z), prefer environmental sustainability and innovation, but solutions for addressing these preferences in educational settings remain elusive. Exploring Gen Z’s environmental consumption values and how those values relate to their systems thinking tendencies may provide university educators with insights on how to best educate Gen Z students. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between Gen Z students’ green consumer values and systems thinking tendencies. Data were collected using a web-based survey instrument of 68 undergraduate students at the University of [state]. Findings revealed respondents somewhat agreed they had green consumer values and respondents often used systems thinking when seeking to make an improvement. A Spearman’s rank-order correlation coefficient indicated a positive, yet weak, association between systems thinking tendencies and green consumer values. The association necessitates further exploration. University agricultural educators should incorporate systems thinking educational tools into classrooms so Gen Z students can effectively engage in systems thinking when addressing complex agricultural issues, like sustainability. Additional implications for systems thinking teaching are explored.
Benefits, barriers, and implementation strategies experienced by teachers adopting FFA affiliation membership: A case study
Authors: Sheehan C. Zane , Rada Lavyne , Greiman Bradley , Livstrom Illana C.
Published: January 2024

Although FFA affiliation has been piloted and in practice for several years, there is limited formal research on the program and strategies for best practice. We used a descriptive case study design to examine and describe the experiences of nine teachers in three states who had specific expertise related to FFA affiliation. We conducted semi-structured interviews to uncover the benefits and challenges those teachers experienced while adopting the innovation of affiliation. We analyzed those data using open, deductive and inductive coding to determine common themes of impact and benefits, strategies for implementation, and continuing issues and challenges. Participants in our study shared how affiliation made life easier and improved the participation of their students, but changed how their students think about membership (i.e., choosing to join vs. part of the class), how they graded social-emotional learning and FFA, how they interacted with administration and partner groups, and the demographics of their program. Continued adoption of the innovation of FFA affiliation may present financial challenges and problems finding opportunities for all students, which has notable implications for School-Based Agricultural Education and the National FFA Organization, specifically the elimination of dues, as FFA works toward its goal of 100% membership by 2028.
Determining professional development needs of school-based agricultural education teachers for working with English language learners
Authors: Salem Maggie , Doss Will , Estepp Christopher
Published: January 2024

English Language Learners (ELLs) are one of the fastest growing student populations in the United States. However, teachers, including school-based agricultural education (SBAE) teachers, report being underprepared to teach ELLs. Skills needed to teach ELLs were identified and categorized using Coady et al.’s model for preparing effective teachers of ELLs. The purpose of this study was to describe current SBAE teacher perceptions and needs related to strategies for working with ELLs in the agriculture classroom. This was accomplished through a Borich needs assessment using an online survey of [State] SBAE teachers. Less than half of respondents reported receiving training in 37 out of the 41 ELL teaching strategies. The greatest professional development need was communication with ELLs and their parents. The results of this study were consistent with previous research, which reported that SBAE teachers received little training in working with ELL students. When examining teachers’ competence for working with ELL students, there were no teaching and learning strategies where teachers felt more than somewhat competent. Professional development should be provided to help improve teachers’ communication with ELL students and their parents, and teacher preparation programs should provide experiences to allow preservice teachers to work with ELL students.

O ecstasy é uma droga de abuso popular, ilegal, cuja comercialização ocorre principalmente na forma de comprimidos e cristais. Dados da literatura indicam uma elevação nos teores de 3,4-metilenodioximetanfetamina (MDMA) nos comprimidos nos últimos anos, o que aumenta o risco de intoxicação e morte para os usuários. Nesse contexto, este estudo tratou do desenvolvimento de um método para identificação e quantificação de MDMA em comprimidos tipo ecstasy (n=49) e cristais (n=8) apreendidos pelas forças de segurança pública do Estado de Minas Gerais entre os anos de 2020 e 2021. A quantificação do MDMA foi realizada por LC-MS/MS, com fonte de ionização por electro spray (modo positivo), utilizando analisador triplo quadrupolo. O preparo das amostras foi realizado por extração do material (10 mg) em metanol (10 mL) em banho de ultrassom por 10 minutos, seguido de diluição e injeção no LC-MS/MS. As maiores variações nas concentrações de MDMA foram observadas nos comprimidos, enquanto os cristais apresentaram maiores teores de pureza. Constatou-se um teor médio de 122,5 mg de MDMA por comprimido, bem como elevada variação nos teores da droga (4,0 a 236,8 mg). Já os cristais apresentaram pureza média de 93,4% m/m. Este é o primeiro estudo publicado no Estado de Minas Gerais que reporta os teores de MDMA em amostras ilícitas apreendidas. Estudos como este devem ser realizados, sistematicamente, a fim de acompanhar as tendências do comércio ilícito de drogas sintéticas e estimar os riscos à saúde dos usuários de ecstasy.
COLETA DE DNA EM LOCAIS DE CRIME:PROCEDIMENTOS E APLICAÇÕES
Authors: Giovanelli Alexandre ,   Instituto de Criminalística Carlos Éboli, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil
Published: January 2024

O objetivo deste livro, portanto, foi propiciar esse diálogo,entre peritos de laboratório e peritos de locais. Nesta obra foram apresentadas as melhores práticas visando a coleta de DNA em cenas de crime. Não se trata de uma mera lista de recomendações, ou um simples passo a passo. A ideia é que o texto seja um constante convite à reflexão crítica sobre o que seria mais adequado, a depender do contexto encontrado. Em alguns momentos, pretendeu-se, apenas, munir o perito de local com alguns conhecimentos básicos, para que ele mesmo possa avaliar a melhor estratégia, sem engessar sua capacidade analítica ou impor um modelo vertical, com nenhuma possibilidade de ajuste.

No Rio de Janeiro, as apreensões de materiais envolvidos em apologia ao nazismo, realizadas pela Polícia Civil, vêm apresentando uma tendência de aumento nos últimos anos. Esses materiais são enviados ao Serviço de Perícias de Merceologia e Jogos (SPMJ) do Instituto de Criminalística Carlos Éboli (ICCE) com solicitações de exames periciais de autenticidade e avaliação pecuniária. Estes exames são importantíssimos para nortear a estratégia investigativa, pois, a constatação de que os objetos apreendidos são autênticos ou réplicas influenciará diretamente na busca por informações de fornecedores e receptadores. Neste estudo, foi utilizada uma metodologia de abordagem interdisciplinar, baseada em pesquisa histórico-documental aliada a técnicas laboratoriais físico-químicas não destrutivas (fluorescência de raios-X e microscopia óptica), para examinar 47 exemplares da condecoração de guerra alemã “Cruz de Ferro”. Foram identificados 15 exemplares referentes à 1ª Guerra Mundial e 32 exemplares referentes à 2ª Guerra Mundial ostentando a temática nazista. Dos exemplares relacionados à 1ª Guerra, concluiu-se que treze são autênticos, sendo dois de 1ª classe e onze de 2ª classe. Os dois exemplares falsos são réplicas da 2ª classe. Dos exemplares relacionados à 2ª Guerra, concluiu-se que 26 são autênticos, sendo cinco de 1ª classe e 21 de 2ª classe. Os seis exemplares falsos são réplicas de peças raras, sendo um da classe da “Estrela da Grande Cruz da Cruz de Ferro” e cinco da classe da “Cruz de Cavaleiro da Cruz de Ferro”. Por fim, avaliou-se o acervo total em R$15.000,00, conforme o mercado informal de colecionadores.
