Authors:   the REMIT – Universidade Portucalense, Porto, 4200 Portugal, Sobral Sónia Rolland
Published: December 2020

Pair programming is by definition two-person programming on the same computer. The technique has been used in many higher education institutions and has been reported in some scientific articles, usually for introductory to programming courses. The aim of this article is to make a situation report analyzing the scientific production on pair programming for curricular units of introduction to programming in higher education, measuring the advantages and disadvantages of the strategy. The sample was composed by 153 articles indexed in Elsevier’s Scopus. The results obtained by bibliometric analysis showed the publication rates, authors, in which journals they are published, which are the organizations and countries that publish the most, which are the most cited articles and what their purpose. The benefits reported are generally better code, improved programming and group skills, advantages for women and reducing the work of instructors. The problems are group compatibility: there are studies that randomly distribute pairs, while other use personality tests or knowledge self-assessment.
Criticality Measures to Evaluate the Triggering Decision of Collision Avoidance Functions at Intersections

Published: December 2020

In order to significantly reduce the amount of testing required to validate the behavior of vehicle safety functions with real vehicles, the scenarios in the simulation must reproduce the traffic as realistically as possible. For this reason, a microscopic traffic flow simulation is used. Since the road users show a perfect behavior by default, driving errors have to be induced. The necessary adjustments in the existing driver models are presented schematically in this paper. These changes in the driving behavior ensure that some road users cause situations that are critical for others. Such scenarios are required as input data for testing vehicle safety functions in a vehicle dynamics simulation. A decisive factor for the quality with which a critical situation can be successfully managed by a vehicle safety function is the trigger time. For this purpose, approaches are presented for estimating the period in which a collision can still be avoided by braking or evasive maneuver. Three intersection scenarios illustrate the functioning of these criteria
Is surgical intervention avoidable in congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO)
Authors: Irfan Sameera
Published: December 2020

A prospective, interventional study was conducted to determine whether surgical intervention can be avoided in infants with CNLDO by a proper conservative management.

The study was conducted from March 2013 till December 2019. 338 prospective cases presenting with epiphora, eyelid discharge and regurgitation on lacrimal sac compression were included in the study.

Out of these, 166 were females (49.11%) and 172 males (50.88%). The age at enrolment was 1-47 weeks (median 23 weeks, mode 21 weeks), with 31 premature babies, (9.2%). The cases were divided into Primary (41 cases, 12.13%), who presented early with no prior therapy & Secondary categories (297, 87.86%), who presented late and had been using topical antibiotics and sac massage.

Patients’ care-takers were taught the proper technique of lacrimal sac compression with a cottontip. Topical Tobramycin eyedrops were prescribed 3 times daily for 5 days only to cases with a purulent discharge or eyelid swelling. Regular follow-up was conducted at 1, 3, and at 6 months after the initial visit.

316 cases (93.49%) had a complete resolution of epiphora and discharge on lacrimal sac compression. 22 cases (6.50%) were symptomatic at the end of study and needed surgical probing. A complete resolution of symptoms and signs was significantly higher in unilateral cases than bilateral (p=0.001). There was no significant difference amongst genders (p=0.684), or amongst primary versus secondary cases (p=0.062); they all responded to the correct conservative management.

CNLDO can be resolved conservatively by a proper technique of sac compression and eyelid cleaning, which must be performed regularly, and continued till the infant is one year old, in order to avoid recurrent symptoms.

To demonstrate that the combination of moxifloxacin/dexamethasone eye drops is effective and safe to prevent  postoperative inflammation in cataract surgery patients.

93 patients who underwent clear corneal phacoemulsification with posterior chamber IOL were included in a 15 day open-label, single-arm  study. All the patients recruited in the study were advised to use moxifloxacin 0.5%/dexamethasone 0.1% (Vigadexa) eye drops four times a day one day before and until 15 days after surgery. Intraocular pressure (IOP), Anterior chamber (AC) reaction, visual acuity and ocular pain  were assessed at baseline and on postoperative days 1, 7 and 15.

Out of  ninety three patients  77.3% of patients had AC cells grade 3–2, while 19.3%  had grade 1 AC cells on the first postoperative day. By the end of the study i.e, on 15th postoperative day 89.65% had grade 0 AC cells and 31.03% had grade 1 cells. The mean IOP preoperatively was 14.00±3.8 mm Hg. The mean IOP on first and 7th postoperative was 15.03 ± 3.8 mm Hg and 13.07±2.7 mmHg respectively. By the end of the study the mean IOP was 12.79±2.5 mm Hg.

The combined moxifloxacin 0.5%/dexamethasone 0.1% eye drops was effective in preventing infection and controlling inflammation in cataract surgery patients.
How Do Disruptive Innovators Prepare Today's Students to Be Tomorrow's Workforce?: Deep Learning: Transforming Systems to Prepare Tomorrow’s Citizens
Authors: Fullan Michael , Quinn Joanne
Published: December 2020

Disruptive innovators take advantage of unique opportunities. Prior to COVID-19 progress in Latin America and the Caribbean for integrating technology, learning, and system change has been exceedingly slow. In this paper we first offer a general framework for transforming education. The framework focuses on the provision of technology, innovative ideas in learning and well-being, and what we call systemness which are favorable change factors at the local, middle/regional, and policy levels. We then take up the matter of system reform in Latin America and the Caribbean noting problems and potential. Then, we turn to a specific model in system change that we have developed called New Pedagogies for Deep Learning, a model developed in partnerships with groups of schools in ten countries since 2014. The model consists of three main components: 6 Global Competences (character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking), 4 learning elements (pedagogy, learning partnerships, learning environments, leveraging digital), and three system conditions (school culture, district/regional culture, and system policy). We offer a case study of relative success based on Uruguay with whom we have been working since 2014. Finally, we identify steps and recommendations for next steps in Latin America for taking action on system reform in the next perioda time that we consider critical for taking advantage of the current pandemic disruption. The next few years will be crucial for either attaining positive breakthroughs or slipping backwards into a reinforced status quo.

Orientation of religiosity and radicalism: the dynamic of an ex-terrorist’s religiosity
Authors: Aryani Sekar Ayu
Published: December 2020

Recognition of the religious motives and orientations of acts of radicalism and terrorism is often preached by mass media. The religious motive in the context of Islamic radicalism is often referred to the term of jihad, it is the act of seeking Allah's blessings or Lillahi ta'ala. The motive or religious orientation in the view of Religious Psychology is called an intrinsic religious orientation, turning religion a goal of action because of religion itself. This is distinguished from the extrinsic religious orientation that makes religion as a tool for obtaining subjective goals. We aim to understand to what extent the consistency of recognition is viewed from the perspective of religious orientation theory. This is because there is often an inconsistency between claimed motives with attitude. To examine more deeply on this issue, we raised the case of the dynamics of the religious orientation of a former terrorist, Yusuf Adirama, who experienced the dynamics and religious orientation changes of a radical and terrorist into a moderate one. This research reveals that in the case of Yusuf Adirama, the meaning of jihad could change over time following his life experience. Jihad, originally interpreted as taking up arms against the enemies of God, has turned into opposing various acts of violence and helping the needy (Dhuafa) who need help, including those caused by terrorism, both for the perpetrator and victim.

Published: December 2020

This present research studies the ideologization practices of the Islamic philanthropy institution managed by the civil society in Indonesia: a case study of Suryakarta Beramal Foundation. A qualitative method with a case study approach was employed. Data was collected using in-depth interviews, observations and documentation techniques and then inductively analyzed. The results show that Suryakarta Beramal is a philanthropy institution ideologically affiliated withthe Tarbiyah movement. Most of the collected Islamic philanthropy funds: zakat, (alms-giving), infak (infaq), sadaqah (donation) and wakaf (religious endowment) were provided to finance the educational institution possessed by Suryakarta Beramal, except for poverty alleviation; the educational institution also functions as an ideologization medium. Ideologization was conducted through curriculum engineering, holding various events such as smart recharging, liqa, mabit, rihlah and halaqah and students’ habituation, starting from using uniforms for religious activities either at school or in the dormitory. The result of the ideologization is that the alumni of the school of Suryakarta Beramal became the loyalists of the Tarbiyah ideology and are affiliated with Partai Adil Makmur (PAM) (Just and Affluent Party) as the political wing of the Tarbiyah movement in Indonesia.

Authors: Tirkey Suman Sudha , Verma Rakesh Kumar
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is among the common complications in infants born before 37 weeks. In India the incidence of RDS ranges from 0.69 - 8.3 %. CPAP is a less invasive method frequently used in premature infants having RDS). We wanted to assess the outcome of preterm neonates treated with CPAP. METHODS Prospective observational study was done in NICU of a tertiary care hospital, Raipur, Chhattisgarh in central India, during April-2014 to April-2015. Eligible Children were included in the study and evaluated using SAS (Silverman Anderson Scoring), blood gas analysis and pulse oximetry. Quantitative variables were presented as mean and standard deviation; categorical variables were presented as frequency and percentages. RESULTS Out of total 50 babies on CPAP, 38 improved with success rate of 76 % whereas 12 babies (24 %) failed requiring higher mode of ventilation. CPAP was more successful among females (n = 22) with a success rate of 88.0 %. CPAP proved more effective in moderate grade RDS with success rate of 83.3 % (statistically significant p < 0.05). Based on SAS score, shows the improvement in respiratory distress following CPAP. CONCLUSIONS Nasal CPAP is safe effective, non-invasive means of respiratory support in RDS. It can considerably decrease the requirement for mechanical ventilation (MV) and surfactant therapy. KEYWORDS Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Positive Airway Pressure, Silverman Anderson Score

Authors: Sannaboraiah Vinay Kyasakkala , Siddappa Sujatha
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND Renal tumours encompass a wide spectrum as distinct entities both in adults and in children. Renal cell carcinomas constitute majority of all renal neoplasms. Proper typing of renal tumours is not possible before surgery and histopathological examination. Accurate histopathological diagnosis and proper tumour typing is very important for early and proper surgical treatment. We wanted to study the various histomorphological patterns of renal tumours. METHODS We studied nephrectomy specimens with renal tumours received in the department of pathology from January 2018 to June 2020 (2 years 6 months, retrospective study). A total of 29 cases with renal tumours were included. Relevant Clinical details along with gross findings were recorded from the histopathology forms. Nephrectomy specimens were fixed overnight in 10 % formalin. Gross examination was done, representative tissue bits taken, routinely tissue processed, embedded and the sections were cut (4 – 5 microns). Haematoxylin and Eosin staining was done. Pathological diagnosis was done by two pathologists and arrived at a common consensus. RESULTS A total of 29 cases were included in our study. Of these 16 patients were male and 13 were female, with a male to female ratio of 1.2: 1. Most common age group affected was 5th decade. Mean age was 48 years. Out of 29 cases, 24 cases were malignant (82.75 %) and 5 cases were benign (17.24 %). Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounted for 18 cases out of 24 malignant tumours. Clear cell RCC was common subtype with 13 cases followed by 3 cases of chromophobe RCC and 2 cases of papillary RCC. In benign tumours, we had 4 cases of angiomyolipoma and 1 case of oncocytoma. Right sided kidney was affected with 17 cases (58.62 %) and left sided kidney 12 cases (41.7 %). Common tumour location was in upper pole. Pathological stage pT1 was seen in 9 cases followed pT2-5 cases, pT3-4 and pT4-2 cases. WHO / ISUP nuclear grading was noted. Grade II was seen in 11 cases followed by grade III seen in 4 cases. CONCLUSIONS Malignant renal tumours were most common than the benign tumours. Renal cell carcinoma was most common of the malignant tumours. Clear cell RCC was the most common subtype. Pathological stage pT1 was most common. Grade II was the most common grade. Proper histological typing, staging and grading are important for appropriate surgical treatment of renal tumours.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND We wanted to evaluate the efficacy of IV nitroglycerine and IV dexmedetomidine in achieving and maintaining induced hypotension in patients undergoing FESS under general anaesthesia, compare haemodynamic response in terms of heart rate, blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, compare clarity of the surgical field, compare the effect on duration of surgery and study the intraoperative and postoperative complications, if any. METHODS This is a randomised control trial conducted from 01/01/2018 to 31/12/2018 among 50 patients, ASA 1 & 2 undergoing FESS. They were randomly divided into 2 groups - group D (an infusion of dexmedetomidine was started with a loading dose of 1 μg / Kg over 10 min and thereafter was maintained between 0.5 - 1.0 μg / Kg / h) and group N (an infusion of nitroglycerine was started at the rate of 0.5 μg / Kg / min and was maintained between 0.5 - 2.0 μg / Kg / min). Haemodynamic data was recorded. Both the infusions were titrated to maintain a MAP between 65 and 75 mmHg. The visibility of the surgical site was checked by the surgeon at every 30 minutes using the Fromme and Boezaart scale. RESULTS Both groups consisted of 25 patients each and were demographically similar. In both groups heart rates remained within normal physiological limits, not requiring any pharmacological treatment. Both groups had comparable average MAP during surgery. The group D showed desirable attenuation of haemodynamic response at the time of intubation as well as at extubation. Both groups had comparable duration of surgery. Both the drugs were equally effective in creating clear surgical fields to the surgeons’ satisfaction. Dexmedetomidine provided better intraoperative analgesia and reduced requirement of incremental fentanyl as compared to nitroglycerine. Emergence time was significantly higher in dexmedetomidine group. CONCLUSIONS Both the groups provided comparable clarity of surgical field with comparable haemodynamic parameters during surgery. dexmedetomidine provided better haemodynamic stability and an additional benefit of reduced requirement of intraoperative supplemental analgesia.

The relevance of the study is associated with the study of viability resources of young city dwellers in the context of growing urbanization processes. The article presents theoretical and empirical research data regarding the problem of operationalization of the phenomenon of social and psychological satiety, which is a psychological state generated by peculiarities of the urban environment. The article presents concept description, gives data on its operationalization, formulates the hypothesis and shows some results of its empirical verification. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyse the interconnection between emotional experiences and preferred coping strategies with the state of satiety with living conditions in a metropolis in a group of young people. The major hypothesis of the study involves an assumption that there is a connection between feelings of satiety caused by the intense influence of the phenomena of the urban environment on the psyche and behavior of respondents, and their preferred methods of coping with the satiety situation. The study involved 159 people aged 19 to 30 years. Research methods: questionnaires developed by the authors and aimed at studying manifestations of social and psychological satiety (T. V. Drobysheva, I. V. Larionov). The questionnaire was used to identify socio-demographic characteristics. It is shown that in the group of respondents the state of socio-psychological satiety with living conditions in a metropolis is experienced as a feeling of apathy, boredom, irritation caused by imposed contacts with strangers, advertising activities of trading companies and overpopulation of the city. These phenomena of urban life are perceived by young people as violating their psychological privacy and making them want, first of all, to leave, to change the environment or activity, to find new forms of leisure or other places to spend their free time. The results found in the work indirectly indicate the protective function of socio-psychological satiety, expressed through the desire of respondents (young city dwellers) to reduce the intensity of negative emotional experiences related to living conditions in a metropolis. The questionnaires developed by the authors in the course of the study are of practical importance for researchers of the urban environment.

Loneliness is one of the fundamental problems of modern people. However, loneliness is traditionally associated with negative expressions and characteristics, at the same time it may also have a resource function. The relevance of the study is associated with its focus on the multifaceted understanding of loneliness and identification of its resource mechanisms. The purpose of the study presented in the article is to compare the idea of loneliness among Russian and Bulgarian students. An assumption was made: firstly, there is much in common between two countries, which makes it possible to expect a common value-semantic field, and secondly, despite the semantic similarity of ideas about loneliness, expressiveness of its individual parameters will vary. The study was carried out on a sample (N = 442) of Russian (n = 229) and Bulgarian (n = 213) students aged 17 to 27 years old (M = 20.8 years, SD = 1.64; 359 women and 83 men), living in St. Petersburg (the Russian Federation), Sofia and Plovdiv (Bulgaria). All respondents were asked the question: “What does loneliness mean to you?”. The written answers were analyzed using the method of content analysis, followed by calculating the frequency of occurrence of the semantic group and subgroups, and performing a comparative analysis (Fisher angular transformation). It was noted that the answers of both Bulgarian and Russian students lie in approximately the same semantic field. It was demonstrated that in both groups both positive and negative characteristics of loneliness were present. We established that Russian students more often mention the positive properties of loneliness. They interpret loneliness more often through the opportunities that it gives them. Bulgarian students often mention negative aspects; they express more fear related to loneliness. Similar results confirm our hypothesis about the general semantic field, and, at the same time, demonstrate particular nature of ideas about loneliness in these two groups. The results can be used to develop programs aimed both at reducing negative impact of loneliness, and on development of its resource functions.

Published: December 2020

In recent years, online credit platforms have emerged one after another. With the continuous development of China’s "Internet +", the Internet finance industry has shown explosive growth, and P2P peer-to-peer loans have emerged. Some peer-to-peer credit platforms have expanded their business to universities, targeting college students with high consumer demand and little social experience, which has seriously affected the study and life of college students and brought serious negative impacts to society. Universities must strengthen the risk management of "campus loans" and take effective preventive measures. The risks of campus loans include loan risks, guarantee risks, default risks, etc. The causes of these risks are the lack of legal and financial knowledge of college students, the deviation of consumption concepts, and the publicity and risk assessment errors of campus loans. Through an in-depth analysis of the risks of college students’ campus loans, this article puts forward feasible preventive measures that are conducive to ensuring the personal and property safety of college students.

This study aimed to compare the Social Representations (SR) of aging and quality of life (QoL) in old age for riparian elderly. This is a qualitative-exploratory study with a non-probabilistic sample. Sociodemographic questionnaires and the free word association technique were used. Participants were 100 elderly, matched for sex, aged 60-89 years (M = 70.08 years; SD = 7.19). The IRaMuTeQ software was used through the prototypical analysis, which provided the representational structure. Negative central elements were observed in the SR of aging and more positive elements in the SR of QoL in old age, which denotes the welfare paradox; that is, positive self-reports of life satisfaction, even in the presence of aging losses.

Authors: Thorat R.A. , Ingle A.D.
Published: December 2020

The Novel Coronavirus outbreak gave learning lesson to the entire world especially about how to fight with the invisible enemy. The scientific community is engaged in exploring the pathogenesis of this Novel disease and inventing the antivirals. At the same time, laboratory animal facility key personnel are busy in carrying out facility operations without compromising the laboratory animal welfare and on-going animal research. In general, every laboratory animal facility establishes the disaster management plan considering the possibility of fire, earthquake, cyclones or flood. Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC) Animal Facility also has well documented disaster plan in place. However, incorporation of preparedness plan against disaster due to pandemic was never thought of. However, with our extensive experience, great team efforts and timely decisions, we could continue facility operations without compromising animal welfare, on-going animal research and health of animal care personnel. It is the need of hour to make a preparedness plan in advance to respond to any kind of such pandemics in the future. We wish to share our experience gained during SARS-CoV-2 pandemics. This data is concerned about us but may be helpful to other animal facilities in India and/ or across the globe.
Photography as a means of architectural (re)presentation and (re)production
Authors: Acar Sibel
Published: December 2020

Architecture and photography have closely interacted with each other since the invention of the photography. Through the 20th century, architectural photographs were utilised for documentation, preservation, historiography, presentation and as a tool of design. Until the turn of the 21st century, the dissemination of architectural photographs was limited by the accessibility of printed media. Today, owing to the digital communication technologies, architectural photographs are being disseminated and circulating rapidly in an unprecedented way. Therefore, not only architectural photographs produced by professionals but also a high number of photographs which were taken by users or visitors of a building started to disseminate. Accordingly, not only the audience but also consumption and production processes of architecture have changed. This study focuses on photographyâ€™s affiliation as a tool of architectural (re)presentation and (re)production.Keywords: Architecture, photography, architectural photography, design.
The Shintoization of Mazu in Tokugawa Japan
Authors: Ng Wai-ming
Published: December 2020

Mazu was a Chinese sea goddess worshiped by fishermen, villagers, maritime merchants, and local officials in the Sinic world including Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and the Ryūkyū Kingdom. In a sense, the Chinese cultural sphere was also the “sphere of Mazu belief.” Compared with China’s other neighboring nations, Japan settled at a deeper level of localization, turning Mazu into a Shinto deity, worshiping the Chinese goddess in the Shinto way, and enshrining her along with other Shinto deities. In the Tokugawa period, Mazu was worshiped by the Japanese as the manifestation of different Shinto deities. Based on Japanese primary sources, this study investigates the Shintoization of Mazu in Tokugawa Japan using Funadama belief among seafarers and shipbuilders, Noma Gongen belief in the Satsuma domain, and Ototachibanahime belief in the Mito domain as the main points of reference. Mazu was associated with Funadama, the Japanese protector god of seafarers, in different parts of Japan. In the Satsuma and Mito domains, Mazu belief differed tremendously from that in China in terms of religious titles, festival dates, forms of worship, and functions. This research aims to deepen our understanding of how Chinese folk religions were incorporated into the Shinto framework of Tokugawa Japan and the nature of the popularization of Chinese culture in Japan through the lens of localization.
