In order for the learning process to be successful and run well, the teacher must have the right initiatives and steps in terms of encouraging students to be active in learning and providing adequate learning experiences to students. One of the efforts that can be made in the field of education is through the use of learning resources, books and Student Worksheets, which are converted into digital learning resources that are more attractive, interactive and cost-effective without reducing their functions, benefits and uses. Numerical literacy is knowledge and skills in using numbers and symbols related to basic mathematics to solve contextual problems and analyze information presented in various forms, then interpret the results of the analysis to predict and make decisions. Research and development data analysis uses qualitative data which requires a different analysis to interpret the data that has been collected. The development of Flipbook media based on tri-nga teachings can increase elementary school numeracy literacy activities with significant results.

Forecasting the cryptocurrency exchange rate based on the ranking of expert opinions
Authors: Gavrilenko Olena , Myagkyi Mykhailo
Published: December 2023

To date, most existing cryptocurrency exchanges do not have in their arsenal tools that would allow them to verify and investigate the information disseminated on social networks regarding a particular cryptocurrency. This makes it possible to conduct a relevant research with the subsequent development of a tool that, if used correctly, will provide users with advisory advice on further actions in relation to the cryptocurrency under study in the system. Based on this advice, interested parties will be able to adjust their decisions regarding further financial steps. The basis of most recommender systems is always the need to identify some influencing factors, which are later given certain weights to facilitate and simplify the formulation of further advice for users. In this paper, we study the influence of celebrity publications on the formation of prices for a particular cryptocurrency at a certain point in time. The importance and existence of this influence was previously proven by statistical methods. The purpose of the study is to develop an algorithm for studying the level of influence of posts of each of the selected group of experts in social networks on the cryptocurrency rate. The object of the study is the forecast of cryptocurrency rates. The input data used were the list of experts whose level of influence will be studied, the time interval of the study, the number of posts made by each of the experts in question over the specified period of time, and the actual cryptocurrency rates for the relevant period. The experts were well-known personalities who are either knowledgeable in the field of finance in general and cryptocurrencies in particular, or whose activities are somehow related to a particular cryptocurrency. Research methods. Experts are ranked based on the full probability and Bayesian formulas. Forecasting of cryptocurrency rates in a selected period of time is carried out using the algorithm for forecasting cryptocurrency rates based on expert posts on social networks (AUDSM). To control the accuracy of forecasts, the relative average error is calculated. Recommendations for financial transactions with cryptocurrencies are formed by entering the critical value of the exchange rate and calculating the arithmetic mean of cryptocurrency exchange rates for a specified period of time. Results. As a result of the research, an algorithm has been developed that allows taking into account the impact of the posts of each of the selected ranked group of experts on changes in the rates of a particular cryptocurrency. On the basis of the obtained forecasts, the paper presents a methodology for forming recommendations for financial transactions with them.

Interorganizational employee mobility
Authors: Zdrilić Iva , Došenović Bonča Petra , Aleksić Darija
Published: December 2023

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the phenomenon of interorganizational employee mobility, 55 defined as a movement of employees between the source and destination organizations that goes beyond simple turnover behaviour. We use a bibliometric analysis approach that applies quantitative and statistical methods to bibliographic data to deepen our objective understanding of how research on interorganizational employee mobility has evolved over time and to examine whether interorganizational employee mobility is multilevel in nature. The results of the performance analysis and various science mapping methods (co-authorship analysis, co-citation analysis, bibliographic coupling, and co-word analysis) reveal clustered networks of key contributors in the field (i.e., authors, journals, affiliations, countries). Authors from the field of management, mainly from the USA and Western European affiliations, dominate the field. However, few of them have more than one publication on the topic of interorganizational employee mobility, which indicates that the literature in the field is still scattered and not yet mature. Our findings contribute to the career development literature by providing a detailed insight into how career has changed over time and highlighting the main constructs and factors associated with individual decisions to change employers.
Teachers’ use of inquiry and language scaffolding questions when preparing an experiment
Authors: Øyehaug Anne Bergliot , Kouns Maria , Savelsbergh Elwin. R.
Published: December 2023

This study analyze data from three national contexts in which teachers worked with the same teaching materials and inquiry classroom activities, investigating teachers’ use of strategies to promote interaction and scaffolding when participating in a professional development program. The data material is collected from three case studies from the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden, respectively. Each case is from a teaching unit about green plants and seed sprouting. In one lesson in this unit, students were involved in planning an experiment with sprouting seeds, and this (similar) lesson was videotaped in three national settings. The main research question is, as follows: How do primary teachers use questions to scaffold conceptual understanding and language use in inquiry science activities? The data analysis shows that teachers ask different kind of questions such as open, closed, influencing and orienting questions. The open, orienting questions induce students to generate their own ideas, while closed orienting and influencing questions often scaffold language and content-specific meaning-making. However, both open, closed, orienting and influencing questions can scaffold student language and conceptual understanding. Often, teacher questions scaffold both language content-specific meaning-making at the same time. The study shows the subtle mechanisms through which teachers can use questions to scaffold student science literacy and thereby including them in classroom interaction.
Trademarks and Denomination of Origin in Portuguese Wine Sector (1918-1924)
Authors: Sequeira Carla
Published: December 2023

In the Portuguese wine sector there was a strong adhesion of companies, producers and traders to the registration of trade marks since the modern commercial brands emerged after the creation of the legal framework for their protection, at the end of the 19th century. We also must consider the existence of different regions of production, from north to south of the country, and the historical process of recognition of the different denomination of origin, which occurred since the beginning of the 20th century, in a context of post-phylloxera reconversion, market instability and the proliferation of imitations and counterfeits. Because wine sector was strategic in the Portuguese economy, in this article we will analyze the marks of different companies, traders and producers representative of various Portuguese wine regions, between 1918 and 1924 from the Trademark Registration in the Boletim de Propriedade Industrial (Industrial Property Bulletin). The aim is to understand the relationship between trademarks and appellations of origin, to understand if there was the growth of the different terroirs and their types of wines, and to identify, on a semiotic basis, representative and identifying elements of the indication of provenance, used in countless brands. Keywords: Portuguese wine regions, brands, trademarks, labels, semiotics
Promoting Cross-Cultural Psychology Research in the Caribbean: Best Practices in Intersectionality
Authors: Gonsalves-Domond Sandra
Published: December 2023

Given the Caribbean region’s post-colonial history with entrenched and daunting challenges of: structural racism, patriarchy, and colorism as epiphenomenal outcomes, it is imperative that cross-cultural investigators using 21st century research paradigms honed and crafted from strengths-based approaches interrogate issues surrounding national, cultural identity, and cultural hybridity. Additionally, push-pull factors in migration, acculturative influences, psychological resilience, and coping strategies within non-pathologizing frameworks of inclusivity and intersectionality are fodder for empirical research. These holistic perspectives borrow from multiple perspectives in Black Psychology paradigm shifting as they reject and deconstruct Eurocentric models in explaining Black psyche and behaviors. The discursive frame around subaltern voices, is that, it deracinates “grand” theories, splinters and challenges hegemonic assumptions. Moving from the mechanistic, binary constructions placing a premium on only quantitative models with a concomitant devaluation of qualitative approaches, this author argues that the kinds of cross-cultural research that offers the most qualitatively-rich analysis is ethnography, as this approach embraces concepts of lived epistemological realities of participants. As a cross-cultural tool, it triangulates participant observations, interviews, and case studies. The ethnographic report generated from this data-gathering methodology and comprised of multiple sections, illuminates the following: the uniqueness of indigenous psychologies; provides important historical contexts; addresses issues of language, cultural rituals, and norms; and grounds the work within multidisciplinary perspectives offering more integrative, cogent analyses of cultural phenomena. Further, even research ensconced in knowledge-production for academic consumption should hue to the penultimate, translational goals of nation building, community flourishings, and human capital development. Keywords: cross-cultural research, Caribbean psychology, intersectional research
Increased and Extended Convergence of a family of three-step methods
Authors: Argyros Ioannis , John Jinny , Jayaraman Jayakumar
Published: December 2023

In various scientific and engineering disciplines, a wide range of applications can be simplified to the task of solving equations or systems of equations within a carefully selected abstract space. Due to the inherent dificulty or even impossibility of finding analytical solutions, iterative methods are commonly employed to obtain the desired solutions. This article focuses on the presentation of efficient family of three-step iterative methods that exhibit high convergence order. The analysis delves into the local and semi-local convergence properties, considering φ-continuity conditions imposed on the operators utilized. The novel methodology introduced in this article is not limited to specific methods but can be applied to a broader range of approaches that involve the use of inverses of linear operators or matrices.
Tecnología de gestión y urbanización popular: redes locales como soporte de políticas públicas
Authors: Cacopardo Fernando
Published: December 2023

El problema de acceso al agua en los barrios populares forma parte de la problemática más amplia de las luchas por la urbanización en contextos de pobreza en Latinoamérica. Esta experiencia de investigación y desarrollo en dos manzanas del Barrio Fray Luis Beltrán (Las Dalias) de Mar del Plata testimonia en forma elocuente un aporte a modos de gestión colaborativos e intersectoriales con activa participación vecinal para la solución del problema. En el marco de las denominadas “tecnologías sociales”, este artículo es un aporte de resultados a preguntas y planteos teóricos al campo de la funcionalidad de la tecnología en procesos colaborativos de “urbanización popular”. Esta experiencia interesa por tres aspectos: como emergente de un activismo de grupos populares por fuera de mecanismos mercantiles y estatales; como despliegue de una serie de estrategias sociales de sobrevivencia que efectivizan todos los intersticios posibles del sistema, institucionales y no institucionales, a fin de obtener recursos para acceder a un soporte material para el habitar y la vida y, finalmente, para promover otro rol del investigador universitario, en contextos de alta criticidad sanitaria y humanitaria, como actor analista y parte del planteo de un problema social y de su solución.

The water footprint is an indicator of the impact of water use from its formation to its final destination. Agricultural eco-efficiency measures the efficient use of resources or materials available for crop production. Water's economic productivity analyses a product's efficient value as per its water supply and commercial value. The present research aimed to determine and relate the water footprint, economic productivity of water and agricultural eco-efficiency of 15 crops in the province of Chupaca - Peru. Georeferencing material was used for the delimitation of agricultural species, CROPWAT 8.0, CLIMWAT8.0, ArcGis 10.5 software, mathematical equations for the water footprint, agricultural eco-efficiency (Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)) and economic productivity of water. The Total water footprint (TWF) of the fifteen crops was 1718237.01 m3/ton, likewise the BlueWF > GreenWF > GreyWF. In their economic outputs, gross value of production (GVP) > agricultural production (Ag-p) > economic rent agricultural (ERA) was verified. In environmental costs, water consumption that meets the needs of crops (Wc-Ag) > consumption of phytosanitary products (C-fly) > fertilizer consumption (C-fe) was determined. The average Agricultural eco-efficiency (Ag-Eec) and Economic water productivity (Ewp) were 89.8% and 0.046 PEN/m3 respectively. Statistical analysis between Ewp and Ag-Eec was rho = 0.18, t-test = 0.66 < 2.16 (α = 0.05; bilateral), and the correlation indicated that both activities are independent. The environmental costs and economic outputs of agricultural eco-efficiency did not influence the economic value of water.

Published: December 2023

Drought is one of the key abiotic stresses that critically influences the crops by restraining their growth and yield potential. Being sessile, plant tackle the detrimental effects of drought stress by modulating the cellular state by changing the gene expression. The transcriptional syndicate essentially drives such alteration of gene expression. Transcription factors (TF) are the key regulatory protein that controls the expression of their target gene by binding to the cis-regulatory elements present in the promoter region. Myb-TF, ubiquitously present in all eukaryotes belong to one of the largest TF family, and play a wide array of biological functions in plants, including anthocyanin biosynthesis, vasculature system, cell signalling, seed maturation and abiotc stress responses. The present performed isolation and molecular cloning of full length Myb TF from Eleusine corocana. The isolated full-length coding sequence has 1053 bp and 350 aa was submitted to NCBI (Accession number MT312253). The transcript level of EcMYB increases under different abiotic stress treatments including dehydration, salinity, and high-temperature stress. The promoter region of EcMyb1 was found to be enriched in stress-responsive cis-regulatory elements such as DRE, HSE, ABRE etc. In phylogenetic analysis, EcMyb1 appeared to have high homology with its monocot orthologs particularly Sateria italica, Hordeum vulgare, Saccharum barberi and Oryza sativa. The three-dimension protein structure was generated based on homology modeling and structural aspects were discussed. Further, Insilco analysis was conducted to explore the physiological properties, subcellular localization, potential posttranslational modification sites (phosphorylation and glycosylation sites), and molecular and biological function of the full-length protein. Overall, the expression profiling and Insilco analysis of EcMyb1 strongly indicated its potential role in abiotic stress response in Eleusine corocana.

Blackgram is the most important legume crop grown throughout India. It is mostly cultivated during the rainy and winter seasons in central and southern India. An investigation was carried out during winter 2021 to evaluate the effect of High Day Temperature (ambient+3oC) and Elevated CO2 (600ppm) (HDT and eCO2) and High Day and Night Temperature (ambient+3oC) and Elevated CO2 (600ppm) (HDNT and eCO2) on growth and yield of blackgram (Vigna mungo) under soil plant atmospheric research (SPAR) and ambient conditions with eleven treatments (T1 to T11). The results revealed that significant (P=0.05) increase in photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, number of pods per plant and grain yield by 22.3%, 80.6%, 29.2%, 28% and 41.3%, respectively, under HDT and eCO2 conditions from 46 to 60 DAS (days after sowing) in comparison with HDNT and eCO2 and ambient conditions. The increase in chlorophyll index under HDT and eCO2 during 16 to 30 DAS by 12.9%. The significant increase in the number of flowers per plant and biomass of the blackgram was increased under HDT and eCO2 during 31 to 45 DAS by 7% and 38.1%, respectively. However, the plant height and leaf area index of the blackgram were found to have significantly increased under HDT and eCO2 during the early stage (1 to 15 DAS) by 29.3% and 44.5%, respectively. This experiment indicated a significant increase in crop growth, leaf photosynthesis and yield of blackgram under HDT and eCO2 at flowering stage to pod development stage (31 to 60 DAS) followed by HDNT and eCO2 and ambient condition. The overall findings of the study showed that increased temperature and CO2 levels would result in greater biomass production and increased yield for the black gram.

Bacterial cellulose is an exopolymer prepared of α-1, 4 D glucopyranose units, created by several bacteria belonging to several genera, available in a multitude of implementations because of its greater chemical, mechanical and thermal characteristics combined with good biocompatibility and biodegradability. This present study aimed to produce low-cost, environmentally friendly Bacterial cellulose utilizing Iraqi vinegar’s mother pellicle (BCIVMP) and to study its properties. Bacterial cellulose was purified by using 0.1M NaOH and distilled water to study the properties. The chemical composition, crystallinity, particle size and surface shapes were studied using various devices. Ultraviolet -Visible Spectroscopy (UV Vis spectra) showed the optical transmission of bacterial cellulose. The mean values observed for bacterial cellulose were 273 and 542 nm. The FTIR spectrum confirmed the presence of the following functional groups –C–O and/or –C–C–, –C–O–C and/or –C–C–O and–O–H in the bacterial cellulose. The BCIVMP surface was examined by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). At low amplification, the BCIVMP showed an extremely spongy construction with different levels of pore size. At higher amplification, both small and large clustered nanocrystals were seen. The average diameter was 17-29 nm. Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) analysis was performed to confirm the presence of the elements belonging to the functional groups present in the structure of bacterial cellulose. X-ray diffraction (XRD) diffractogram of (BCIVMP) showed the sample's high crystallinity due to the narrow double peak. The crystallinity index of(BCIVMP was found to be 91.5%. The study concluded that bacterial cellulose production from the Iraqi vinegar’s mother pellicles is eco-friendly, recyclable, and inoffensive to humans.

Yogurt is a widespread fermented dairy product widely consumed worldwide. The present study aimed to examine the impact on the yogurt's made from goat milk's physicochemical, rheological, and sensory aspects by incorporating varying percentages of Sodium Caseinate (SC), whey protein concentrate (WPC), and cow milk protein concentrate (MPC) during production to produce good quality yogurt. Four different treatments weremade and assigned as control treatment C, treatment C1 (SC was added at a percentage of 1% and 2%), treatment C2 (WPC added at a percentage of 1% and 2%), and treatment C3 (MPC added at a percentage of 1% and 2%). Estimates of pH and total acidity were among the physiochemical tests performed. Rheological evaluations includedviscosity, the ability to separate whey spontaneously, and moisture retention. Texture tests included hardness, springiness, and cohesiveness. A sensory evaluation of the produced yogurt was also done. The results showed an approximation in the additional treatments' total acidity and pH ​​values immediately after manufacturing. Compared to the control treatment, the additional treatments decreased the values of spontaneous whey separation and increased the water holding capacity and viscosity. However, the product's texture was enhanced due to the addition of the three protein components, which contributed to its hardness, springiness, and cohesion. There was an improvement in the sensory properties of the addition treatments compared to the control treatment and directly related to the increment in the addition percentage.The yogurt resulting from the addition of (SC, WPC, and MPC) led to the production of good-quality yogurt.

Published: December 2023

The most frequent cause of hospitalization in adults over 65 in Western nations is acute decompensation of heart failure (ADHF). Due to the high death rate, it places a heavy load on healthcare systems as well as people. The present study’s objective was to ascertain the connection between polymorphisms in the Glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 (GSTM1) gene and heart-failure-reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients. Sixty patients with a mean age of 25–94 were taken from both genders after the clinical diagnosis by a specialist to cases who were referred to the Ibn Al-Baitar Specialized Center for Cardiac Surgery and Ramadi Teaching Hospital, and thirty apparently healthy people were taken as a control. Blood and serum containing EDTA were drawn from sick and healthy people to extract DNA for multiplex PCR detection of the GSTM1 polymorphism. The GSTM1 genotype was found in 23 (38.33%) and the null gene in 37 (61.66%) of the 60 ADHF patients. Of 30 healthy people, 8 (26.66%) had the GSTM1 gene and 22 (73.33%) had the null gene. According to the present study, the etiology of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and the antioxidant null gene (GSTM1) are related. The present study has been achieved to determine the relationship between the presence of the antioxidant gene (GSTM1) and the incidence of ADHF with reduced ejection fraction for research and therapeutic purposes, which opens new spaces in the treatment of the mentioned condition.

Boerhavia diffusa L. (family Nyctaginaceae) is also known as Punarnava in Indian medicine and has been used as rasayana herb in Ayurvedic medicine since ancient times. Plant has anti-aging, rejuvenating, cell-strengthening, mind-enhancing and preventative properties. The present study aims to investigate the different plant parts of the species B. diffusa for phytochemicals and antioxidants characterization for the first time from Bilaspur (31.33 oN 76.75 oE), Himachal Pradesh of North-Western India. The methanol: water extracts (leaf, stem and root) of B. diffusa were tested for in vitro antioxidant activity by various assays such as DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS [2, 2’-azino-bis (3-ethyl benzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)], FRAP (Ferric reducing antioxidant power assay) and RP-HPLC-PDA (Reverse Phase-High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Photo Diode Array Detector), which showed that B. diffusa root had the highest antioxidant activity i.e. DPPH (93.11±0.152g %), ABTS (89.70±0.207g %) and FRAP (88.67±0.251g %). This suggests that plant-derived polyphenols are good sources of natural antioxidants. Further, in the present study, three polyphenols, such as rutin, syringic acid, and epicatechin, were also determined through RP-HPLC-PDA method and found to be maximum in root extract. The results indicated that the methanolic extract of B. diffusa could be a potential herbal medicine against free radicals.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum), the 2nd most important legume after dry beans, known for its protein content, is an important crop agronomically as well as economically. The present study aimed to determine the effect of foliar application of spermidine (spd) on various aspects of chickpea genotypes under salt stress. The chickpea genotypes were cultivated under 4 and 8 dSm-1 Cl- dominated salinity followed by the spermidine application of 0.5 and 1.0 mM. Salinity stress inhibited the plant height and root length, reducing plant biomass (fresh and dry weight). Furthermore, it also decreased the chlorophyll and nitrogen content of the plant. Results obtained from spermidine (spd) application indicated that both concentrations of spermidine are good in enhancing the tolerance in chickpea genotypes against salt stress. Spermidine application increased the plant's height as well as biomass. It also enhanced the chlorophyll content (32.93%), increasing the Nitrogen Balance Index (77.37%) at 1.0 mM.It further increased the flavonoid and anthocyanin content in plant leaf. In addition, the application of spermidine retained more moisture (25.81%) and increased seed fiber (13.30%) in all chickpea genotypes at 1.0 mM. It reduces the Cl- ion accumulation and maintains the ionic balance in chickpea seeds. The effect of spermidine application (0.5 and 1.0mM) was more pronounced, but 1.0 mM had a more positive effect in salt-sensitive chickpea genotypes.
Grandmother Cedar as Educator: Teacher Learning Through Native Knowledges and Sovereignty Curriculum
Authors: Conrad Jenni , Hardison-Stevens Dawn
Published: December 2023

As Indigenous-led education mandates proliferate globally, understanding how educators teach Indigenous perspectives and sovereignty remains urgent. Learning and integrating such knowledge proves difficult for non-Native teachers, given their lengthy participation in settler colonial schooling and society. What does learning to implement Native sovereignty curriculum entail? Codesigned with eight Native education leaders, this qualitative study examines five non-Native K–12 teachers’ learning processes with Washington’s Since Time Immemorial curriculum across three schools, using interviews, observations, and other data. Findings indicate six themes of learning supporting meaningful implementation, one potential catalyst for overall growth, and two distinct learning trajectories that suggest outward, rather than inbound, directionality. Implications for teacher education and educational leadership clarify needed steps for teacher learning and curriculum implementation.

Authors: Asio John Mark , Garcia Carole
Published: December 2023

This study aims to assess the stress level of nursing students in different settings and their use of coping strategies during the pandemic. The researchers used a descriptive-correlation research design for 288 nursing students purposively selected for the study. The study took place during the academic year of 2022-2023. The study also employed three (3) research tools for the data gathering. It subjected the data to descriptive and inferential analysis using SPSS 23. In general, the study found that in terms of stress level, the nursing students remarked “moderately high,” as for the coping strategies, they “sometimes” used them. The inferential computation also observed significant variations in the stress level in the study in terms of gender, age, school, and year level. Moreover, there was a low positive relationship between the level of stress and the use of coping strategies among the nursing students. To confirm the connection, perceived stress and external stressors were significant predictors of the use of coping strategies among nursing students. The researchers then gave several implications at the end of the study.
