The impact of Blended Learning and Team Teaching in tertiary pre-service music education classes
Authors: Jenkins Louise , Crawford Renee
Published: August 2021

The nature of tertiary teaching is metamorphosing at a pace consistent with the expectations and requirements of an innovative society. This is due to more accessible advanced technology, the targeted use of online learning, student expectations for a flexible learning environment and the pressures of faculty budgets. As a result, more innovative approaches to teaching and learning are required. In response, a project is investigating the implementation of a Blended Learning process within tertiary pre-service music education classes, underpinned by Team Teaching strategies. This paper will report on some of the findings of the project’s first two years of research.
Life101 Enhances Healthy Lifestyle Choices in Pre-Health Undergraduate Students
Authors: Jafari Mahtab
Published: August 2021

Stress levels in college students are increasing at an alarmingly fast pace. To combat this rising tide, universities need effective tools to promote student well-being and help them to recognize and manage their stress. One approach is to teach students basic lifestyle skills to cope with stress and achieve wellness. This is important as it not only increases students’ retention within a chosen field of study, but assists them to achieve personal and academic success. To inspire our undergraduate students to adopt healthy lifestyle choices, a once-weekly course titled “Life101” was developed with topics that focused on students’ wellness such as stress management, emotional intelligence, financial management, nutrition, and exercise. Classes were taught through a combination of lecture, multimedia videos, and discussions. Here, we share our observational findings outlining the potential benefits (short- and long-term) for students participating in Life101. Based on pre- and post-course survey data from students, both in-class and online, Life101 had a significant positive impact on the lifestyle of our students. The main outcomes from this study were: 1) both in-class and online courses resulted in positive lifestyle changes in our students; 2) online students showed greater mastery of course topics compared to their in-class peers; and 3) long-term benefits from the course were reported after a one-year follow-up. Although, this collective positive impact may suggest that offering Life101 to undergraduate students can serve to improve students’ mental and physical health, a prospective study is needed to confirm these findings.
Frameshift Mutation in Polar Rich Domain (PRD) of PQBP1 Gene Associated with Asymmetric Cerebellar Hemispheres: A Case Report of Renpenning Syndrome
Authors: Aleksic Dejan , Borkovic Milan , Krivacic Jelena , Petrusic Igor , Milic Rasic Vedrana
Published: August 2021

Introduction: In 1962, Renpenning et al. published an article with 20 male patients from three generations with mental retardation. Scientists suggested that the syndrome with mutation mapped to the locus Xp11.2-p11.4 should be called Renpenning syndrome. The deletion/duplication of an AG dinucleotide on proximal Xp in the polyglutamine tract-binding protein 1 (PQBP1) gene causing frameshift in the fourth coding exon was identified as the most frequent mutation in this syndrome. Renpenning syndrome with asymmetric cerebellar hemispheres has not been reported previously. Case Presentation: In this case report, we presented an 11-year-old male with mild developmental delay and mild intellectual disability, microcephaly, dysmorphic face, short stature, and seizures. The following morphological abnormalities were detected: a wide nasal bridge, midfacial hypoplasia, short philtrum, low-set ears, low hanging columella, high palate, and narrow face. Neurological examination showed upper and lower extremities hypotonia with joint hypermobility. The patient had his first seizure at the age of seven, and he experienced a total of 10 seizures by the age 11. A systolic murmur of intensity 2/6 was present, and echocardiography showed chordae tendineae abnormalities in the left ventricle. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed asymmetric cerebellar hemispheres (mild right cerebellar hemisphere hypoplasia). A frameshift mutation in the polar reach domain (PRD) of the PQBP1 gene (c.459-462 delAGAG) was detected by exome sequencing. Conclusions: We showed the first case of genetically confirmed Renpenning syndrome in Serbia. Our patient had classical clinical manifestations for Renpenning syndrome as a consequence of frameshift mutation in the PRD of the PQBP1 gene. To the best of our knowledge, according to the literature, this is the first patient with Renpenning syndrome with asymmetric cerebellar hemispheres (mild right cerebellar hemisphere hypoplasia).

DA (AUSÊNCIA DE) AUTONOMIA CIENTÍFICA DA CRIMINOLOGIA
Authors: Poiares Nuno Caetano Lopes de Barros , Santos Ana Filipa
Published: August 2021

O presente artigo apresenta uma síntese dos resultados de uma investigação que teve como finalidade questionar a autonomia científica da criminologia enquanto ciência interdisciplinar. Nesse sentido, desenvolveu-se um estudo de natureza qualitativa que se baseou na revisão da literatura e num inquérito por entrevista a informantes privilegiados na área em análise. Os resultados obtidos indicam que não se pode fundamentar a autonomia científica da criminologia com base no seu caráter interdisciplinar, na medida em que a criminologia só produz conhecimento, com um grau de certeza sobre o fenómeno criminal, à luz desse cruzamento de saberes. A presente investigação contribui ainda para mitigar as incertezas que a criminologia enfrenta, apresentando uma proposta de modificação ao estatuto da profissão de criminólogo em Portugal na perspetiva de se fazer justiça à sua medula interdisciplinar.

Published: August 2021

Diferente do jornalismo tradicional, o midiativismo reivindica um novo paradigma de comunicação que se distancia de uma verdade absoluta, assumindo, portanto, suas ideologias a favor de movimentos que lutam por melhores condições de vida e igualdade social. Este artigo tem como objetivo discorrer sobre as ideologias que influenciam os grupos midiativistas do Rio de Janeiro e as disputas entre eles. Os métodos utilizados para desenvolver este trabalho foram as pesquisas de campo e as entrevistas realizadas pelo Laboratório de Comunicação Dialógica da UERJ (LCD/UERJ) junto a esses grupos no decorrer da realização do documentário de longa metragem Mídia em Movimento, do final de 2013 a meados de 2015. Na primeira parte do texto fazemos uma breve abordagem sobre os conceitos de ideologia e a trajetória das disputas ideológicas de esquerda no Brasil e, em seguida, analisamos as ideologias dos movimentos midiativistas do Rio de Janeiro e os conflitos observados entre esses grupos.

Published: August 2021

The article's purpose is to develop a methodical approach to improving financial security, which takes into account the acceleration of reproducing processes on Ukraine's device of engineering enterprises. This approach is based on multi-cellular vector optimization. It allows us to determine the optimal values of current assets' manifestations and net profit dynamics and set the optimal correlation between them. Approbation of a methodical approach to improving financial security and acceleration of reproducing processes on the example of Ukraine's four engineering enterprises was performed. Financial statement data for eight periods were used to build optimization vectors. To improve financial security and accelerate the reproducing processes of Ukraine's engineering enterprises, certain volumes of working assets, periods of their turnover, their marginal value taking into account different financing sources, and maximum net profit at certain manifestations of the dynamics of current assets are established. In implementing the methodical approach to improving financial security and accelerating the reproducing processes in engineering enterprises' practical activities, highly qualified personnel occupy a significant role and place. The powerful toolkit of their provision is material stimulation (an increase of wages, provision of premiums) and establishment of relations in the team (social justice in the department); the opportunity to advance on the career ladder; respect for employees by management; frank and friendly relationships at all levels of management; participation in corporate holidays of all employees. Therefore, the study's further direction is developing a methodical approach to improving the financial security of engineering enterprises, taking into account personnel support.
Orbital floor fracture repair with implants: a retrospective study
Authors: Lee Yong Jig
Published: August 2021

Background: Although prompt surgery after an orbital fracture is preferable, the actual timing of surgery in real-world settings varies. Therefore, this study investigated the outcomes of implant surgery for inferior orbital wall fractures by comparing three groups according to the time interval between the injury and surgery.Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of patients’ medical charts and initial computed tomography images from 2009 to 2020. The time to treatment was chosen by patients or their guardians based on the patients’ comorbidities and the physician’s explanation. The patients were divided into three groups according to the time of surgery (group 1: 3–7 days, group 2: 8–14 days, group 3: 15 or more days). Data were collected on age, the time interval until surgery, the dimensions of the defect, the operation time, the follow-up period, and the postoperative paresthesia score (ranging from 0 to 10). The outcomes were evaluated using a 4-point scale: 4= good (no complications), 3 = fair (no subjective symptoms), 2 = poor (remaining paresthesia), and 1 = very poor (strabismus and/or enophthalmos).Results: The study included 85 patients with unilateral fractures who underwent surgery from 3 to 93 days after injury. The overall score distribution of the surgical outcomes was as follows: good= 63, fair= 7, poor= 6, and very poor= 9. The three groups showed no significant differences in the transverse dimension of the injury (p= 0.110) or the anteroposterior dimension (p= 0.144). In groups 1, 2, and 3, the postoperative outcome scores were 3.84± 0.37, 3.63± 0.87, and 2.93± 1.33 (p= 0.083), and the percentage of patients with good outcomes was 84%, 81.25%, and 57.14%, respectively.Conclusion: Performing surgery using an artificial implant within 2 weeks of the injury showed better outcomes and fewer postoperative complications than when treatment was delayed.

Published: August 2021

Primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder is a rare disease characterized by a single mass on the face or upper part of the trunk. It usually presents an asymptomatic and favorable progression, and its histopathologic findings include small and medium-sized lymphoid cells. The authors report a case of primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder on the forehead. A 51-year-old man presented with a protruding mass on his forehead that the patient had noted 1 month previously. Surgical excision and a permanent biopsy were performed under local anesthesia. Based on the biopsy results, the mass was diagnosed as a primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. There was no evidence of recurrence at a 15-month follow-up visit.
Upper eyelid reconstruction using a combination of a nasal septal chondromucosal graft and a Fricke flap: a case report
Authors: Lee Ju Ho , Woo Sang Seok , Shin Se Ho , Kim Hyeon Jo , Kim Jae Hyun , Kim Seong Hwan , Suh In Suck
Published: August 2021

Sebaceous carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm that usually arises in the sebaceous glands of the eyelids. Its pathogenesis is unknown; however, irradiation history, immunosuppression, and use of diuretics are known risk factors. The mainstay of treatment for sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid is wide surgical resection with a safety margin of 5 to 6 mm, which often results in full-thickness defects. The reconstruction of a full-thickness defect of the eyelid should be approached using a three-lamella method: a mucosal component replacing the conjunctiva, a cartilage component for the tarsal plate, and a flap or skin graft for the skin of the eyelid. In this case, a fullthickness defect of the upper eyelid was reconstructed after tumor removal using a combination of a nasal septum chondromucosal composite graft and a forehead transposition flap, also known as a “Fricke flap.” The flap was designed to include a line of the eyebrow on the lower margin of the flap to replace the eyelash removed during tumor excision. The wound healed completely, without any early or late complications, and the outcome was satisfactory.
Surgical refinement of the purse-string suture for skin and soft tissue defects of the head and neck
Authors: Park Hyochun , Lee Yunjae , Yeo Hyeonjung , Park Hannara
Published: August 2021

Background: The purse-string suture (PSS) is a simple and rapid wound closure method that results in minimal scarring. It has been used to treat circular or oval skin defects caused by tumor excision or trauma. However, due to obscurity, it is not widely used, especially for the head and neck. This study aimed to modify the PSS to obtain predictable and acceptable results.Methods: A total of 45 sites in 39 patients with various types of skin and soft tissue defects in the head and neck were treated with PSS. We used PDS II (2-0 to 5-0), which is an absorbable suture. Minimal dissection of the subcutaneous layer was performed. The suture knot was hidden by placing it in the dissection layer. Depending on the characteristics of the skin and soft tissue defects, additional surgical interventions such as side-to-side advancement sutures, double PSS, or split-thickness skin graft were applied.Results: All wounds healed completely without any serious complications. Large defects up to 45 mm in diameter were successfully reconstructed using only PSS. Postoperative radiating folds were almost flattened after approximately 1–2 months.Conclusion: PSS is simple, rapid, and relatively free from surgical design. Owing to the circumferential advancement of the surrounding tissue, PSS always results in a smaller scar than theinitial lesion and less distortion of the body structures around the wound in the completely healeddefect. If the operator can predict the process of healing and immediate radiating folds, PSS couldbe a favorable option for round skin defects in the head and neck.
Giallo Nostalgia: Appropriations of Giallo Aesthetics in Contemporary Cinema
Authors: Baschiera Stefano , Caoduro Elena
Published: August 2021

This article aims to engage with the ways in which contemporary global cinema looks back at the Italian giallo production of the 1970s through a series of remakes, homages and pastiches. What we define as retrogiallo differs from other examples of “retroexploitation,” where films such as Grindhouse (Rodriguez and Tarantino, 2007) and Hobo with a Shotgun (Eisener, 2011) address nostalgia for a specific kind of spectatorship, the grindhouse circuit, through conscious visual archaisms. Retrogialli present a more complex approach: instead of mimicking the imperfections of analogue indexicality, they fetishize the artisanal quality of filmmaking, displacing the stylistic features of the giallo in a highbrow context. Films such as Amer (Cattet and Forzani, 2009), The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears (Cattet and Forzani, 2013) and Berberian Sound Studio (Strickland, 2012) ultimately present a new opportunity to address the critical understanding of the giallo.
Projecting a Nostalgic Future: Nostalgia as Time Machine
Authors: Laks Zoë Anne
Published: August 2021

Nostalgia conjures the past, but what does it mean to be nostalgic for a future time? This article develops a theoretical model for a critical nostalgia for the future, one that sets both past and future at a temporal remove from the present, exposing both the longing and the impossible distance—the pain (algia)—that lies at the heart of all nostalgias. Using a case study onThe Time Machine(George Pal, 1960), this article examines how to address three temporal problems that arise from nostalgias for the future, which seemingly lead to a regressive and deterministic model of futurity. Through a present-bound perspective and anachronistic logic, this film demonstrates how nostalgia for the future can reflexively reveal nostalgia’s inbuilt sense of distance, in order to unsettle linear and teleological conceptions of time and to open the possibility of an unwritten future.
Kodachrome : la couleur de la nostalgie
Authors: Habib André
Published: August 2021

En 1973, Paul Simon chantait : « Kodachrome/They give us those nice bright colors/They give us the greens of summers/Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day. » Le premier titre de cette chanson, Kodachrome, était Going Home. Qu’est-ce qui explique cette affinité entre le motif du « retour à la maison » et le nom de la célèbre pellicule commercialisée par Kodak en 1935 ? Quel est le sentiment de nostalgie, de familiaritépoignante, que ce mot évoque et qui semble indissociable des qualités chromatiques particulières du film, ses couleurs vives et saturées ? Cet article, construit comme une mosaïque ou un montage de fragments juxtaposés, puise tant dans l’histoire de la pellicule que dans des souvenirs personnels pour faire un portrait de ses usages et de ses imaginaires, passés et contemporains. Il cherche à faire apparaître les différentes déclinaisons de ce mot, Kodachrome, et les multiples facettes de la nostalgie qu’il mobilise.
Quand les sens prennent vie… Des liens possibles entre cinéma et histoire du décorum
Authors: Perrin Khelissa Anne
Published: August 2021

La question du décor historique au cinéma est souvent abordée sous l’angle de la vraisemblance et de l’authenticité : il s’agit de savoir si la décoration intérieure et l’ameublement sont conformes aux styles et aux usages du temps narré, si les objets que manipulent les personnages, comme leurs costumes et leurs attitudes, respectent une « réalité historique », s’ils témoignent autant de faits que d’ambiances. C’est un autre angle que l’autrice propose dans cet article, celui du rôle du cinéma dans la compréhension de la culture matérielle d’antan. En effet, en creusant les logiques qui sourdent aux processus du décor d’Ancien Régime, il apparaît que l’art cinématographique, par ses multiples potentialités visuelles, narratives et émotives, approche au plus près de la relation que les hommes et femmes entretenaient jadis avec leurs objets décoratifs. À partir d’une sélection de films qui puisent dans des classiques du cinéma français, italien et américain, l’autrice suggère des pistes de réflexion et un éclairage pour accompagner la rencontre entre chercheurs en études cinématographiques et en histoire de l’art.

Photonic chip is a kind of integrated device that uses light as a carrier for information transportation and processing. Owing to its advantages of small size, lightweight, and low power consumption, photonic chip has become the most popular research topic nowadays. The beam splitter is a vital part of on-chip integration. For conventional beam splitting elements, Y-type and tree-branch output are the main elements, which are usually realized by interference principles. However, it is appropriate only for simple conventional beam splitter because the propagation direction of light cannot achieve large angle deflection. In the case of relay loading, optical amplification, pumping, and frequency upconversion, the vertical loading is often required without affecting the main optical path. To complete the large-angle deflection beam splitting, one needs to add a mirror to realize it or use a right-angle mirror structure for geometric double-sided reflection and splitting in traditional ways, but these structures are relatively complicated and difficult to complete on-chip integration. Based on previous work on inversely designed multi-channel wavelength routers and wide spectrum efficient focusing devices by using the intelligent algorithm, and combining the years of research on the coherent superposition theory of multi-scattering of the disordered medium, a large angle beam splitter that can realize from the near-infrared band is designed through using the intelligent algorithm. The beam splitter structure is based on AMTIR-1 glass, the part to be etched is air. The composition of AMTIR-1 is Ge33As12Se55. And the size of the structure is only 1 μm × 2 μm. The beam splitter can achieve 180° linear separation of beams in a range from 800 nm to 1100 nm, the beam splitting ratio of the entire waveband is approximately 1∶1, and the gross beam splitting efficiency is stable between 85% and 92%. Compared with several conventional structures with the same size, the efficiency of the beam splitter designed by this algorithm is higher. At the same time, the algorithm has the advantages of fast computation speed and small computation amount, and it can be completed only by ordinary personal computers without the support of hardware such as workstations. This intelligent algorithm can also be applied to the design of various passive photonic devices such as optical polarization splitters, routers, optical isolators, etc., providing an idea and reference for the design of integrated micro-nano photonic devices on high-density sheets.

The back electrode is an important factor affecting the performance of perovskite solar cells. In this paper, the effects of back electrode material, structure and thickness on the performance of perovskite solar cells are studied by using COMSOL software. It is found that compared with the work function of the back electrode metal, its resistance has small effect on solar cell performance. Besides the back electrode structures affecting cell performance, there are other factors affecting cell performance. In terms of the back electrodes with honeycomb structure, considering the difficulty in fabricating, the best cost performance occurs when the radius of the circle is approximately equal to the edge spacing. It is predicted that the cell performance will be improved by about 5% in porosity with increasing 10% in the back electrode. The resistance of the back electrode decreases with its thickness increasing. Considering the process and cost, the optimal thickness should be between 100 nm and 150 nm.

Many seabird populations are declining globally, but successful conservation efforts have led to population expansion of some species into human-dominated landscapes. Thus, there is an increased potential for direct human and seabird interactions for certain species in human-occupied areas, with nest-site characteristics potentially affecting the susceptibility of nests to human disturbance. We assessed the effect of human activity and nest-site characteristics on Wedge-tailed Shearwater (Ardenna pacifica, ʻuaʻu kani) nesting success at two breeding colonies, one with human exposure and one without, located in Kailua, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. Human activity was measured by recording the frequency of people who entered a 5 m buffer around each nest. Nests were checked every two to three days to monitor nest success. The effect of human activity and nest-site characteristics on nesting success was determined using a variety of combinations of variables within binomial logistic regression models and AICc model selection. Nest-site characteristics among nests at both sites and human activity at the human-exposed site did not show a significant effect on nesting success. Our results suggest Wedge-tailed Shearwaters may experience some tolerance of human activity immediately around their nests—as long as burrow collapse does not occur. Given the small sample sizes and a single season of data collection, additional studies are needed to better understand the effect of human disturbance on Wedge-tailed Shearwaters. Infrastructure, such as fencing and signage, may be effective at reducing human-caused nest failure and may allow humans and disturbance-tolerant seabird species to coexist in shared coastal environments.

We describe a 226 km range extension for the known distribution of the Western Soil-Crevice Skink Proablepharus reginae in Western Australia. This record from Cape Range National Park is the first for this species on the North West Cape and within the Cape Range IBRA sub-region and marks the most westerly record of P. reginae for mainland Australia. This finding raises the terrestrial reptile species richness for the Cape Range peninsula to 90. Previous surveys in this area failed to detect P. reginae, which demonstrates the value of repeated surveys in documenting species richness in remote locations. Furthermore, we provide morphological and ecological data and discuss this record in the contexts of geographic variation and the high number of isolated reptile populations and endemism seen on the Cape Range peninsula.

Image Fusion is a process of adding information obtained from various sensors and intelligent systems. This provides an image which containing complete information. In this process we fuse images of the same scene one is Infrared Image and other is visible image to produce an image that contains more information. In this the Infrared which are low resolution and noisy nature of image and visual image fused using Stationary wavelet transfer algorithm. In this we have used Gabor filter and GLCM to extract feature and compared the two feature extraction method using quality matrix parameters and found which method is the best method of fusion. The fusion is used in satellite image fusion which mostly used in maps also for decision-making process involved in interpreting images from multi sensor data. Images of several different targets (a military vehicle, a wood chipper, a pickup truck, and people) were used to assess how human subjects view and interpret different types of images. The premise is that combining complementing data from several sensors will result in more accurate findings for data processing difficulties. Although significant progress has been achieved in this sector, complete modeling of the human brain remains a distant objective.
