In collecting the data, this study used close-ended questionnaires with Strategy Inventory Language Learner (SILL) consisting of 39 items, which were analyzed by using a scoring system. The results of the study showed that students of both schools generally used the same and different learning strategies. The same learning strategies used by the students of both schools were organizing and evaluating learning, referring to metacognitive or indirect strategies. Meanwhile, the different learning strategies used by the students of both schools occurred on five strategies at a medium level. From the six types of learning strategies, as indicated in this study, the most popular learning strategies which were used by students of both schools were organizing and evaluating learning.
Voice and Frames in the Soviet Nenets’ Auto/Biographies
Authors: Lukin Karina
Published: June 2020

This article explores the narrative and metalinguistic devices used by two Nenets writers, Nikolaj Vylka and Anton Pyrerka, in the auto/ biographical novels they wrote in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. Focusing on narrator roles and voices, the article argues that despite the overarching programme of socialist realism, the writers creatively used available linguistic resources to build Socialist plots and frames in their novels. However, their choices differ considerably, reflecting their divergent ideas about the relationship between pre- and post-Soviet Nenets culture.

Authors: Berman Claire A , Kacanek Deborah , Nichamin Mindy , Wilson Dominique , Davtyan Mariam , Salomon Liz , Patel Kunjal , Reznick Megan , Tassiopoulos Katherine , Lee Sonia , Bauermeister Jose , Paul Mary , Aldape Theresa , Seage III George R
Published: June 2020

Background

As young adults living with perinatal HIV (PHIV) or perinatal HIV exposure but uninfected (PHEU) grow older and manage the challenges and competing demands of young adulthood, new approaches are needed to facilitate their retention in longitudinal research and clinical care beyond in-person clinic visits. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the novel virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19), emerged in the United States in January 2020 and has underscored this need; studies are adapting to remote communication with and data collection from participants. However, there are limited data on communication preferences among young adults who are living with PHIV or PHEU.

Objective

The objectives of this qualitative study were to describe participants’ perceptions and use of social media and technology in their personal lives and in the context of participating in longitudinal pediatric HIV research and to describe the implications of the use of technology and social media for communication and retention purposes within a longitudinal pediatric study about HIV.

Methods

We conducted 6 focus group discussions with 31 young adults living with PHIV and 13 in-depth interviews with 6 young adults living with PHIV and 7 living with PHEU. We asked about their preferences for the use of social media and digital technology in the Adolescent Master Protocol, a US-based longitudinal cohort study of youth affected by HIV.

Results

Participants’ willingness to use social media platforms, telephone calls, SMS text messages, and video calls within the context of HIV research varied due to fears of HIV stigma and inadvertent disclosure. However, trusting relationships with clinical staff positively impacted their willingness to use these platforms.

Conclusions

Our findings offer insight into how pediatric studies and clinics can communicate with participants as they age, even as new technologies and social media platforms emerge and replace old ones. For optimal retention, pediatric clinical staff should consider communication approaches offering flexible and tailored options for young adults participating in HIV research.
Lifestyle Segmentation to Explain the Online Health Information–Seeking Behavior of Older Adults: Representative Telephone Survey (Preprint)
Authors: Weber Winja , Reinhardt Anne , Rossmann Constanze
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

As a result of demographic changes, the number of people aged 60 years and older has been increasing steadily. Therefore, older adults have become more important as a target group for health communication efforts. Various studies show that online health information sources have gained importance among younger adults, but we know little about the health-related internet use of senior citizens in general and in particular about the variables explaining their online health-related information–seeking behavior. Media use studies indicate that in addition to sociodemographic variables, lifestyle factors might play a role in this context.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to examine older people’s health-related internet use. Our study focused on the explanatory potential of lifestyle types over and above sociodemographic variables to predict older adults’ internet use for health information.

METHODS

A telephone survey was conducted with a random sample of German adults aged 60 years and older (n=701) that was quota-allocated by gender, age, educational status, and degree of urbanity of their place of residence.

RESULTS

The results revealed that participants used the internet infrequently (mean 1.82 [SD 1.07]), and medical personnel (mean 2.89 [SD 1.11]), family and friends (mean 2.86 [SD 1.21]), and health brochures (mean 2.85 [SD 1.21]) were their main sources of health information. A hierarchical cluster analysis based on values, interests, and leisure time activities revealed three different lifestyle types for adults aged over 60 years: the Sociable Adventurer, the Average Family Person, and the Uninterested Inactive. After adding these types as second-step predictors in a hierarchical regression model with sociodemographic variables (step 1), the explained variance increased significantly (R2=.02, P=.001), indicating that the Average Family Person and the Sociable Adventurer use the internet more often for health information than the Uninterested Inactive, over and above their sociodemographic attributes.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings indicate that the internet still plays only a minor role in the health information–seeking behavior of older German adults. Nevertheless, there are subgroups including younger, more active, down-to-earth and family-oriented males that may be reached with online health information. Our findings suggest that lifestyle types should be taken into account when predicting health-related internet use behavior.
The Anatomy of SARS-CoV-2 BioMedical Literature: Introducing the CovidX Network Algorithm for Drug Repurposing Recommendation (Preprint)
Authors: Gates Lyndsey Elaine , Hamed Ahmed Abdeen
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

Driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the dire need to discover an antiviral drug to save our fellow humans, we explored the landscape of the SARS-CoV-2 biomedical publications to satisfy our objectives.

OBJECTIVE

The aims of this study are to identify off-label drugs that may have benefits for the coronavirus disease pandemic, present a novel ranking algorithm called CovidX to recommend existing drugs for potential repurposing, and validate the literature-based outcome with drug knowledge available in clinical trials.

METHODS

To achieve such objectives, we applied natural language processing techniques to identify drugs and linked entities (eg, disease, gene, protein, chemical compounds). When such entities are linked, they form a map that can be further explored using network science tools. The CovidX algorithm was based upon a notion that we called “diversity.” A diversity score for a given drug was calculated by measuring how “diverse” a drug is calculated using various biological entities (regardless of the cardinality of actual instances in each category). The algorithm validates the ranking and awards those drugs that are currently being investigated in open clinical trials. The rationale behind the open clinical trial is to provide a validating mechanism of the PubMed results. This ensures providing up to date evidence of the fast development of this disease.

RESULTS

From the analyzed biomedical literature, the algorithm identified 30 possible drug candidates for repurposing, ranked them accordingly, and validated the ranking outcomes against evidence from clinical trials.

CONCLUSIONS

The ranking shows both consistency and promise in identifying drugs that can be repurposed. We believe, however, the full treatment to be a multifaceted, adjuvant approach where multiple drugs may need to be taken at the same time.
Characterization of Electromagnetic Wave Absorbers with Broadside SRR Method on C-Band
Authors: Prawito Dwi Banyu , Mulyadi Rasheed Abdurrahman , Syihabuddin Budi , Nur Levy Olivia
Published: June 2020

Electromagnetic wave absorber is a material that can reduce the energy available in electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic wave absorber can be used to reduce interference in wireless communication devices so as not to quickly suffer damage, as a layer in the room free of reflection and to reduce radar cross section of an object detected in radar tracking applications. In this paper, a discussion about the use of the broadside form using the Split Ring Resonator (SRR) method as an absorber of electromagnetic waves and its characteristics in C-Band. Broadside shape is obtained from the initial form of a square which is developed into a square resonator and then given a gap at the end of the resonator. The results show that the SRR broadside form can be used as an absorbent of electromagnetic waves on the C-Band, precisely the frequency of 6.41 GHz with absorption rates reaching 99.99% and bandwidth of 0.077 GHz with dimensions of 7 mm. From the experimental results, it can also be seen that the change in the gap length variable in the SRR broadside shape is the most influential in changing the resonant frequency value and the amount of bandwidth produced.
LQR Tuning Using AIS for Frequency Oscillation Damping
Authors: Abdillah Muhammad , Nugroho Teguh Aryo , Setiadi Herlambang
Published: June 2020

Commonly, primary control, i.e. governor, in the generation unit had been employed to stabilize the change of frequency due to the change of electrical load during system operation. But, the drawback of the primary control was it could not return the frequency to its nominal value when the disturbance was occurred. Thus, the aim of the primary control was only stabilizing the frequency to reach its new value after there were load changes. Therefore, the LQR control is employed as a supplementary control called Load Frequency Control (LFC) to restore and keep the frequency on its nominal value after load changes occurred on the power system grid. However, since the LQR control parameters were commonly adjusted based on classical or Trial-Error Method (TEM), it was incapable of obtaining good dynamic performance for a wide range of operating conditions and various load change scenarios. To overcome this problem, this paper proposed an Artificial Immune System (AIS) via clonal selection to automatically adjust the weighting matrices, Q and R, of LQR related to various system operating conditions changes. The efficacy of the proposed control scheme was tested on a two-area power system network. The obtained simulation results have shown that the proposed method could reduce the settling time and the overshoot of frequency oscillation, which is better than conventional LQR optimal control and without LQR optimal control.

Published: June 2020

Air pollution is one of problems causing global warming that is currently taking a place. Several air quality monitoring devices usually located at the city center are only limited to display data at one point. Therefore, a mobile device to monitor air quality is needed so as to enable the monitoring in several points. This paper aims to design an air quality monitoring system based on quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology. The sensor system is designed to detect CO, CO2, air quality, and temperature variables. This sensor systems was then integrated with quadrotor in order to make the monitoring process can be carried out at various points. Quadrotor was designed using Ardupilot Mega (APM) 2.6 as the flight controler. Measurement data from system sensor was transmitted wirelessly using internet network via Wi-Fi module. Based on the test results, the sensor system was able to detect concentration of several test gas and was linear to the output voltage. Quadrotor orientation parameters at takeoff produced transient responses in less than 1 second. The air pollution sensor parameter data could also be displayed every 10 seconds on the ThingSpeak and ThingView interfaces, and could be mapped based on the data retrieval coordinates.

La metodología propuesta se verifica experimentalmente utilizando como canal de transmisión un cable de RF defectuoso, logrando la transmisión de datos a tasas de 20 Kbaud en una distancia de 120 cm en una banda de frecuencias comprendida entre los 150 kHz y 276 kHz.
Revisión de metodologías de arranque óptimo de generación para el restablecimiento de sistemas de potencia considerando fuentes de energía convencionales y renovables no convencionales
Authors: Pardo Ricardo Andrés , López-Lezama Jesús María
Published: June 2020

Después de un apagón a gran escala, el restablecimiento del sistema eléctrico de potencia (SEP) debe realizarse rápidamente. Para ello, se debe restablecer el parque de generación, el sistema de transmisión y finalmente, la demanda desatendida. Para obtener un proceso acelerado de restablecimiento es necesario establecer metodologías de arranque de unidades de generación, que pongan en marcha, primero, las unidades con arranque en negro y, después, se les lleve potencia de arranque a otras unidades de generación sin esta característica, mediante una ruta de transmisión factible. En este artículo se presenta una revisión de diferentes metodologías de arranque óptimo de generadores para el restablecimiento del SEP, reportadas en la literatura científica teniendo en cuenta la integración de fuentes de energía renovables no convencionales. Dentro de esta revisión se destaca que los métodos heurísticos, aunque son efectivos, no se utilizan en la operación de tiempo real por su alto costo computacional.

A investigação nos modelos instrucionais tem enaltecido o impacto positivo do Modelo de Educação Desportiva e do Modelo de Abordagem Progressiva ao Jogo no desenvolvimento técnico e tático dos alunos, assim como no desempenho geral no jogo. Todavia, a análise do conhecimento tático dos alunos neste âmbito tem sido escassa. O presente estudo tem como propósito analisar o conhecimento tático declarativo dos alunos durante uma unidade híbrida desses dois modelos na modalidade de voleibol. Noventa e seis alunos sem experiência prévia nos dois modelos participaram numa época desportiva com 24 aulas. Foi desenvolvido um teste de vídeo para analisar o desenvolvimento do conhecimento tático declarativo dos alunos, o qual foi aplicado antes e depois da unidade. Todos os alunos melhoraram nos conteúdos táticos ensinados, o que pode encontrar explicação no trabalho colaborativo em equipas, na possibilidade dos alunos participarem noutros papéis para além de jogadores e nos processos instrucionais, características dos dois modelos.
Factors that Influence the Internal Audit Function's Maturity
Authors: D'Onza Giuseppe , Sarens Gerrit , DeSimone Steven
Published: June 2020

SYNOPSIS

We identify several dimensions of the internal audit function (IAF) as a composite measure of IAF maturity by using a Principal Components Analysis (PCA). Our data are from the Common Body of Knowledge in Internal Auditing (CBOK) 2015 dataset. We find confirmation for our four hypotheses, where the support the IAF receives from the board, diversified training programs, the use of the IAF as a management training ground (MTG), and the maturity of the risk management (RM) system are significantly related to IAF maturity. Our hypotheses are verified both at a global and a regional level. Regarding control variables, IAF age, chief audit executive (CAE) tenure, CAE certifications, and unlisted companies are also significant at a global level. We discuss implications of these findings for future practice and research.

OBJECTIVE

To develop a patient-level simulation model for predicting lifetime health outcomes of patients with type 1 diabetes and as a tool for economic evaluation of type 1 diabetes treatment based on data from a large, longitudinal cohort.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Data for model development were obtained from the Swedish National Diabetes Register. We derived parametric proportional hazards models predicting the absolute risk of diabetes complications and death based on a wide range of clinical variables and history of complications. We used linear regression models to predict risk factor progression. Internal validation was performed, estimates of life expectancies for different age-sex strata were computed, and the impact of key risk factors on life expectancy was assessed.

RESULTS

The study population consisted of 27,841 patients with type 1 diabetes with a mean duration of follow-up of 7 years. Internal validation showed good agreement between the predicted and observed cumulative incidence of death and 10 complications. Simulated life expectancy was ∼13 years lower than that of the sex- and age-matched general population, and patients with type 1 diabetes could expect to live with one or more complications for ∼40% of their remaining life. Sensitivity analysis showed the importance of preventing renal dysfunction, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia as well as lowering HbA1c in reducing the risk of complications and death.

CONCLUSIONS

Our model was able to simulate risk factor progression and event histories that closely match the observed outcomes and to project events occurring over patients’ lifetimes. The model can serve as a tool to estimate the impact of changing clinical risk factors on health outcomes to inform economic evaluations of interventions in type 1 diabetes.
Saving the Diabetic Foot During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Tale of Two Cities

Published: June 2020

Of all the late complications of diabetes, those involving the foot have traditionally required more face-to-face patient visits to clinics to treat wounds by debridement, offloading, and many other treatment modalities. The advent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted not only in the closing of most outpatient clinics for face-to-face consultations but also in the inability to perform most laboratory and imaging investigations. This has resulted in a paradigm shift in the delivery of care for those with diabetic foot ulcers. The approaches to this challenge in two centers with an interest in diabetic foot disease, including virtual consultations using physician-to-patient and physician–to–home nurse telemedicine as well as home podiatry visits, are described in this review and are illustrated by several case vignettes. The outcomes from these two centers suggest that we may be witnessing new possibilities in models of care for the diabetic foot.
Character Education in Early Childhood Based on Family

Family is a place of learning that is full of true love and affection. Good characters embodied in the family are very fundamental human characteristics. Children’s capability to function as responsible citizens must be nurtured early on. Family is the smallest social unit that has an important role in the development of children's character, which lies in character education model given by the parents to their children. Character education within a family has not been conceptualized in a way that leads to a variety of educational praxis according to the understanding of each parent. The purpose of the study is to describe what values can be internalized to a family since early childhood. The research method used is literature study (library research), which is a research conducted by the researchers by collecting a number of books, magazines, leaflets pertaining to problems and research objectives. The findings show that children's character education should start from within the family, because family is the smallest unit of society and it will depend on parents to teach children from early age. Children’s character building within the family is not an easy practice because it requires systemic handling. There are interrelationships of other components, such as schools and community environments, which is necessary in its implementation. Character education in early childhood should start from the family through the eight family functions including (1) Education Function, (2) Protection Function, (3) Affection function, (4) Socialization function, (5) Reproduction Function, (6) Religious Functions, (7) Economic Functions, and (8) Recreation Functions.

Perspective taking is used by a child to understand the feelings or conditions of others and show affective response that is similar to what is felt by others. Children aged 5-8 are in the peak of developing their ability to recognize and understand others. As an attempt to develop such ability, teachers can perform the activities of picture story book reading that contain moral values to students. The present study aims to find out the differences in children’s perspective-taking skills before and after the activity of story book reading.The research used experimental design. The subjects were the students of TK Al Islam 1 Surakarta. The instrument used in this study was developed by the researchers. Prior to its implementation, construct validation was done resulted to the value of Content Validity Index (CVI) = 1.00. It showed that the instrument had good value and fulfilled the expected elements.The findings show the difference in the perspective-taking skills of children aged 5-8 years as indicated by the results of the pre- and post-experiment, with the mean X.1 = 21.75 > X.0 = 19.28. It implies that the activity of story book reading is effective in enhancing the perspective-taking skills of a child.
