Practical teaching and professional practice in higher education
Authors: Hebib Emina , Saljic Zorica
Published: December 2021

Ideas about work-based learning and learning through practical experience
have been represented in pedagogical theory and practice for a long time.
Their importance is actualised in conditions of wider practical application
of competency-based education. Practical teaching and professional practice
should constitute an integral part of higher education programmes aimed at
developing professional competencies. Practical teaching usually occurs as a
part of different subject programmes, whereas professional practice occurs
as a separate component of study programmes. The extent to which practical
teaching and professional practice will be represented in the overall
programme as well as the organisational form in which they will occur depend
on professional (vocational) profiles implemented in education. Practical
teaching and professional practice are highly important in implementing
vocational (professional) profiles in the field of education, such as the
professional profile of a pedagogue. This paper provides basic explanations
of concepts of work-based learning and learning through practical experience
that can be viewed as having theoretical origins in noticing the importance
of practical teaching and professional practice as integral parts of
educational programmes. In addition, the issue has been examined relating to
the roles of practical teaching and professional practice in achieving the
basic objectives and outcomes of higher education aimed at developing
professional competencies. A separate section of the text provides an
overview of the position and share of professional practice in the pedagogy
study programme implemented at the Department of Pedagogy and Andragogy of
the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Belgrade. As part of this
overview, a summary has been given of experience in delivery of compulsory
professional practice in school for students of Year Four of bachelor
academic studies of pedagogy in the 2019-2020 academic year under the
emergency school work conditions caused by the pandemic.

Published: December 2021

In the present work, thin films of Cr/NiO/Ni are deposited on glass substrates using RF magnetron sputteringtechnique. The uniformity and homogeneity of the prepared films were controlled by varying the power of the source, the target-substrate distance and the pressure of the plasma gas which is argon. In order to test the Preisach Model, we carried outmeasurements according to two directions: parallel and perpendicular to the substrate plane using a Vibrating SampleMagnetometer at room temperature. Good agreement has been obtained by comparing the experimental hysteresis loops to theones determined using Preisach model. We conclude that this model is powerful in predicting the magnetic properties ofmultilayer systems. # Cr/NiO/Ni #MAGNETRON_SPUTTERING #PREISACH MODEL #MAGNETIC_HYSTERESIS

Authors: Hirsch Gerald Stanley , Rivers Wilmer Stuart Jason
Published: December 2021

The present study was carried out during the year 2017, with a primary objective of discovering factors that can be considered demotivators among students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in the Language Centre of the Catholic University of Guayaquil, Ecuador. A clear understanding of these factors led to an action plan to reduce their effects. Unlike the widely researched field of motivation, demotivation is relatively unknown, particularly in relation to its effects on second language acquisition in higher education. The previous studies in demotivation have been conducted in cultures that do not allow a direct transference of results to the Ecuadorian context. This current research included surveys, interviews and round table discussions with students and teaching staff, and the mix of qualitative and quantitative methodology guarantees a more scientific approach, and as a result, more reliable results. In all, eight factors were identified, and through the application of a series of relevant recommendations, it is possible to expect a positive impact on the academic performance of the students, as measured by their final grades.

Published: December 2021

During this pandemic, all countries focused on the issue of transforming the education system, media, teaching strategies, and materials, from face-to-face teaching and learning to teach in a Virtual Environment (TVE)-based, including in Indonesia. However, this sudden change of situation made all education systems change in a hurry. The fact that English teachers are more proficient at applying their content and pedagogical knowledge than technological knowledge makes this study aim to determine how willing teachers are to add and apply their TPACK, particularly in TVE at the moment, and also to reveal the effect of willingness to increase TPACK with a willingness to apply TPACK. The respondents in this survey were 43 EFL teachers. The instrument used in collecting data is a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and independent t-tests were used in the quantitative data analysis. The data shows that most Indonesian EFL teachers are at the median level of readiness to learn and practice TPACK. However, there is no relationship between willingness to understand and willingness to apply TPACK among English teachers. This finding influences the perspective of educators and researchers on how external pressures need to be reduced and teachers in Indonesia to need internal motivation towards technology-based education.

Authors: Listania Ica , Kuswandari Sri , Mahendra Putri Kusuma Wardani
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Cervical vertebrae are one of the indicators for craniofacial bones maturation. Timing of craniofacial bone maturation determined achievement of orthodontic early treatment. Some previous researchers recommended cervical vertebral maturation to assess craniofacial growth. This study was aimed to analyse the differences of anteroposterior facial dimensions in male and female children on intermediate mixed and early permanent dentition using Cervical Vertebrae Maturation Index (CVMI). Methods: An analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on the students of Islamic Elementary School (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah) in Depok district, Sleman, Yogyakarta, from July 2019 to January 2020. Subjects consisted of 22 males and 22 females aged 8-11 years, obtained by a consecutive sampling technique. The anteroposterior facial analysis was performed on the lateral cephalometry for measuring the distance of Sella turcica to Nasion (S-N) representing the anterior cranial base, Posterior Nasal Spine to Anterior Nasal Spine (PNS-ANS) representing the maxilla and Gonion-Menton (Go-Me) and Condylion-Gnathion (Co-Gn) represents the mandible. Assessment of CVMI was decided by the Hassel and Farman methods. Data were analysed by One Way ANOVA. Results: The mean value of S-N, PNS-ANS, Go-Me, and Co-Gn dimensions, generally were higher in males than females; however, only dimensions of maxillary and mandibular were showed significant difference (p<0.05), while the S-N dimension was not significantly different (p>0.05). At the interval of CVMI 3 and 4, the Go-Me and Co-Gn dimensions showed a significant difference (p<0.05) both in males and females. Conclusion: There was a difference in anteroposterior dimensions of the maxillary and mandibular in cervical vertebral maturation in children with intermediate mixed and early permanent dentition, however, no difference was found in the anterior cranial base.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: Streptococcus sanguinis is a commensal microorganism as well as a pioneer colony in forming dental plaque. Oral biofilm formation can be prevented by a mechanical cleaning procedure followed by the use of mouthwash. The current gold standard for mouthwash is chlorhexidine. Nevertheless, it has side effects that are not recommended for long-term use. Previous studies had proven that herbal-based mouthwashes such as basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum) and strawberry fruit (Fragaria x ananassa) have been shown to have antibacterial properties. The effectivity of antibacterial activity phenomenon in combined extracts has been reported in other studies. This research aims to observe the antibacterial potential of the F. x ananassa and O. basilicum extract combinations against S. sanguinis (ATCC 10556). Methods: The sample of this study was a combination of F. x ananassa and O. basilicum extract, which initially screened for their antibacterial activities. Antibacterial activities of F. x ananassa and O. basilicum extracts against S. sanguinis were observed using Kirby Bauer method, while Minimum Inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) by serial microdilution method. The 2% concentration from each extract was combined in 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 volume ratio variations then tested for inhibitory zones, MIC, and MBC. Results: F. x ananassa extract had 0.125% and 0.25% for MIC and MBC respectively, while O. basilicum extract showed the value of MIC and MBC as 0.031% and 0.063% against S. sanguinis (ATCC 10556). The extract combinations in 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 volume ratio variations showed 0.016% for MIC and 0.031% for MBC. Conclusions: It was concluded that combining extracts of 2 % F. x ananassa and 2% O. basilicum in various ratios were observably to have the antibacterial potential against S. sanguinis (ATCC 10556).

Pentalogy of Fallot (POF) is a rare type of cyanotic congenital heart defect with high risk of having cerebral abscesses as one of its complications. Cerebral abscesses are often found in cyanotic heart disease due to chronic hypoxia and hyperviscosity reduced microcirculatory flow to the brain. We report a 6-year-old boy, 14 kg body weight with multiple brain abscesses accompanied by Pentalogy of Fallot (POF) who undergone a craniotomy to evacuate the abscess. Preoperative physical examination found GCS E4V5M6, other vital signs within normal limits, preductal oxygen saturation 88%, post ductal oxygen saturation in supine position 84%. The I-II heart sounds are regular with grade 3 systolic murmur in the left parasternal third intercostal space and clubbing finger was found. The laboratory shows a hemoglobin value of 14.4gr%, hematocrit of 43%, leukocytosis 13,200/mm³. The goal of anesthesia in cyanotic heart disease is to maintain cardiac output by stabilize heart rate, contractility as well as preload, prevent the increase of PVR:SVR ratio and avoid hypercyanotic due to sudden increase in systemic oxygen demand. The choice of anesthetic agent must be based on the patient's physiology. Adequate rehydration before induction and use of mannitol diuretics can be considered to reduce hyperviscosity that decrease oxygen delivery to the brain. Increased intracranial pressure from ketamine can be reduced by hyperventilation, in conjunction to benzodiazepines and prevention of hypercapnia. Therefore, monitoring end tidal CO2 (ETCO2) needs to be done. This case report delineating the perioperative management of a 6 years old boy with POF underwent evacuation of cerebral abscesses, will highlight the importance of understanding the pathophysiology of POF and neuroanesthesia techniques in order to receive a good outcome.

Published: December 2021

En el presente artículo se analizarán los usos y beneficios que reportaría trabajar con hologramas como material didáctico, como así demuestran los estudios de Ghuloum, Escrivà y Orcos. A través de estas propuestas didácticas se refuerza la idea de que el uso de la técnica de representación en tres dimensiones puede beneficiar al alumnado en la adquisición de los contenidos geométricos presentes en el currículum oficial. El ámbito de la geometría ofrece una amplia gama de contenidos que posibilitan trabajar mediante técnicas de representación gráfica. Cabe destacar, por otra parte, que ahora los estudiantes de educación primaria están socializados en el acceso y uso de imágenes de todo tipo, sin duda alguna su pensamiento visual está más evolucionado que el de generaciones anteriores, como ponen de manifiesto autores como Brea, Steiner, Gruzinsky o Mitchell. Con el manejo, tanto por parte del profesorado como del alumnado, de programas de diseño 3D y la utilización de la técnica holográfica del Fantasma de Pepper se consiguen imágenes realistas de figuras con volumen y que a los estudiantes de primaria les interesa de modo especial. A partir de estrategias de observación, se ha podido constatar con algunos estudiantes que, cuando trabajan con estos recursos, mejoran considerablemente su dominio de las formas geométricas y los conceptos que las acompañan.

Published: December 2021

Background: COVID-19 causes reactive psychiatric symptoms like anxiety, depression, insomnia etc besides significant inflammatory response. A number of COVID-19 patients are found to present with complex neuropsychiatric syndromes, including the first onset of psychosis, that seem to be directly related to brain damage in the context of COVID-19. Most cases of psychotic disorder in COVID-19 patients are being found in individuals with no personal or family history of mental illness. Case Description: A 33-year-old man presented with acute restlessness, agitation, wandering, vandalizing things, suspiciousness, hallucinatory behaviour, decreased sleep for 3 days duration. There was no past history or family history of any psychiatric illness. There was a history of mild grade fever 7 days before the onset of the psychotic symptoms. The patient was uncooperative, irritable, and had hallucinatory behaviour. Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) was positive. The patient responded to injectable antipsychotic haloperidol which was later changed to Tab Olanzepine 5 mg. The patient developed no COVID symptoms and no psychotic symptoms were seen further. Conclusion: There is a possibility of a psychosis break as a COVID-19 clinical presentation, suggesting potential participation of inflammatory and autoimmunologic phenomena triggered as a response to the coronavirus infection.

One of the many influences of social media is change in family relationships resulting from a decline in quality time spent with the family especially among youths including students. So the objective of the present study was to assess the effect of social media usage on family relationship. Method: A descriptive survey was conducted on 124 student nurses studying at Rufaida College of Nursing, selected by purposive sampling technique. Structured rating scale and Brief Family Relationship Scale were used to assess social media usage and family relationships of student nurses on three parameters, expressiveness, cohesion, and conflicts. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Linear correlation was used to find the correlation between social media usage and family relationship. Result: The assessment of family relationships indicated maximum expressiveness among families of 76 students, maximum cohesion among families of 115 students, and moderate conflicts among families of 58 students. In the linear correlation, there is a direct relationship of cohesion and expressiveness in the family and social media usage and inverse relationship of conflict within the family and social media usage. Conclusion: There seems to be a direct correlation between social media usage and expressiveness and cohesion within the family and an inverse relationship between conflict and social media usage in the family.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the chondroprotective effects of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP), ampicillin-sulbactam (AmpS), or PRP combined with AmpS (PRP+AmpS) in an in vitro chondrocyte explant model of bovine Staphylococcus aureus–induced septic arthritis.

SAMPLE

Autologous PRP and cartilage explants obtained from 6 healthy, adult, nonlactating Jersey-crossbred cows.

ProcedureS

Autologous PRP was prepared prior to euthanasia using an optimized double centrifugation protocol. Cartilage explants collected from grossly normal stifle joints were incubated in synovial fluid (SF) alone, S aureus–inoculated SF (SA), or SA supplemented with PRP (25% culture medium volume), AmpS (2 mg/mL), or both PRP (25% culture medium volume) and AmpS (2 mg/mL; PRP+AmpS) for 24 hours. The metabolic activity, percentage of dead cells, and glycosaminoglycan content of cartilage explants were measured with a resazurin-based assay, live-dead cell staining, and dimethylmethylene blue assay, respectively. Treatment effects were assessed relative to the findings for cartilage explants incubated in SF alone.

RESULTS

Application of PRP, AmpS, and PRP+AmpS treatments significantly reduced S aureus–induced chondrocyte death (ie, increased metabolic activity and cell viability staining) in cartilage explants, compared with untreated controls. There were no significant differences in chondrocyte death among explants treated with PRP, AmpS, or PRP+AmpS.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

In this in vitro explant model of S aureus–induced septic arthritis, PRP, AmpS, and PRP+AmpS treatments mitigated chondrocyte death. Additional work to confirm the efficacy of PRP with bacteria commonly associated with clinical septic arthritis in cattle as well as in vivo evaluation is warranted.

Introduction: In the day 16th June 2020, the number of deaths is up to 430000 and the confirmed cases are more than 8 million in the world. The dermatology clinical findings on COVID-19 patients were cutaneous manifestations as pressure injury, contact dermatitis itch, pressure urticarial and exacerbation of pre-existing skin diseases, including seborrheic dermatitis and acne Objective: This work means to show the researches doing in dermatology about COVID-19 and the findings related to them Methodology: In this research article were founded in PubMed with free texts, clinical tests and published in the last 5 years Results: Were founded 13 articles published using the terms proposed: dermatology and coronavirus and COVID-19. Five of them were written about cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 Conclusion: Although several cutaneous manifestations had been associated with COVID-19, none so far is specific to this disease. The dermatological approach has been valued and, in the future, It is expected that dermatologists can help both in the early diagnosis of the disease and in its prognosis
Mechanism of MRET Treated Water Inhibition Effect on Morphology of Pathogenic Microorganisms: A Review
Authors:   Global Quantech Sia, Smirnov Igor
Published: December 2021

We found the significant protective properties of MRET water confirmed by substantial decrease of Staphylococcus aureus CFU (colony forming units) in homogenate of kidneys of mice on MRET water compared to control group of mice on regular water following the intra-peritoneal staphylococcal infection. Another study relates to a detailed observation of the effect of MRET activated water with the modified molecular structure, physical and electrodynamic characteristics on metabolic activity and growth of conditionally pathogenic microbiological culture Escherichia coli K-12 (E.coli) and on metabolic activity of microbial associations (similar to microbial associations in the intestine). Activated (MRET) water produced significant changes of E.coli morphology: different shape, color and size of cells, disturbance of process of cellular division. We also observed positive results of MRET water complimentary treatment for HIV patients during the clinical trial. There are recent research data which allows pointing to a similar mode of action for the two viral proteins, suggesting that anti-viral strategy that targets the viral-induced membrane fusion step can be adapted from HIV-1 to SARS-CoV. The stability of virus spike protein structure is based on the overall interactions of van der Walls weak electrodynamic forces and hydrogen bonding. It is obvious, that all biochemical formations of proteins require presence of water molecules in biological systems. The overall observed research data suggest that modification of water - based medium electrodynamic parameters of the human tissues (that are favourable for the homeostasis of the body in the range of physiological “window”) can lead to significant change of van der Walls interactions and hydrogen bonding that result in the inhibition and interruption of virus spike proteins formation. Such scenario obviously disables virus life sequence of attachment and fusion with human cell membranes. The same type of mechanism can be adopted for the inhibition of other lines of pathogenic microorganisms. The studies conducted at AltheaDx Technology, USA confirm that MRET activated water based medium did not affect the morphology of normal PBMC cells on genetic level; it affected the morphology of normal PBMC cells in a positive way increasing their viability. MRET Activated Water is produced with the help of patented in the USA Molecular Resonance Effect Technology (MRET, US Patent # 6022479). We suggest that MRET water consumption by human subjects can lead to physiologically favorable modification of dielectric permittivity and hydrogen bonding of water –based medium in the human body tissues. It can provide the initial human body natural defence against intervention and spread of pathogenic microorganisms

Authors:   University Of Idaho, Idaho Falls, Mirkouei Amin
Published: December 2021

This study discusses the deficiencies in transforming current farming to the next generation and precision agriculture, which applies the concept of Industry 4.0 to promote agriculture production sustainability through the use of advanced cyber systems and intelligent mechanical inventions. Precision agriculture’s goal is to increase the intelligence in the production of the crop, using real-time sensing, control and optimization for enhancing soil-crop health, as well as advanced cyber-enabled tools for automation and efficiency. Integrated analysis of agricultural and soil ecosystems is in nascent stages, but growing steadily with improvements in sensing technologies, interoperability standards and data-influenced decision making. This study aims to develop an adaptive Sensor-Drone-Satellite (SeDS) system for promoting farming operations and sustainability via balancing often-conflicting objectives (e.g. cost environmental and social). This integrated analyzer system is a conceptual test bed built on a cyber-physical interface
