KEBIJAKAN PEMBELAJARAN YANG MERDEKA: DUKUNGAN DAN KRITIK
Authors: Sari Erika , Noor Ady Ferdian
Published: June 2022

Dunia pendidikan Indonesia sedang menjadi perbincangan hangat semua kalangan dengan dikeluarkannya program baru kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Nadiem Makarim tentang merdeka belajar. Empat program merdeka belajar meliputi Ujian Nasional, Ujian Sekolah Berbasis Nasional, Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran, sistim zonasi. Pada tahun 2020 UN akan dihapuskan dan digantikan dengan menerapkan kebijakan Asesmen Kompetensi Minimum dan Survei Karakter. Asesmen kompetensi mininum dan surveri karakter terdiri dari kemampuan bernalar menggunakan bahasa (literasi), kemampuan bernalar menggunakan matematika (numerasi), dan penguatan pendidikan karakter.Penyelenggaraan USBN (Ujian Sekolah Berbasis Nasional) tahun 2020 akan dilakukan dengan ujian yang diselenggarakan oleh sekolah. Ujian tersebut dilakukan untuk menilai kompetensi siswa dan dapat dilakukan dalam bentuk tes tertulis atau bentuk penilaian komprehensif seperti portofolio dan penugasan. Portofolio ini nantinya dapat dilakukan melalui tugas kelompok, karya tulis. Dalam pembuatan dan perencanaan RPP guru tidak dibebani lagi dengan banyak komponan seperti pada RPP kurikulum 2013 namun lebih disederhanakan meliputi 3 aspek saja yaitu tujuan pembelajaran, kegiatan pembelajaran dan asesmen. Tunjuannya agar mengurangi beban adminisrasi guru, keempat sistim zonasi perubahaan sistim zonasi yang di canangkan oleh kementrian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan yang baru untuk mengakomodasi ketimpangan akses dan kualitas di berbagai daerah. Maka komposisi PPDB jalur zonasi dapat menerima siswa minimal 50 persen, jalur afirmasi minimal 15 persen, dan jalur perpindahan maksimal 5 persen. Untuk jalur prestasi atau sisa 0-30 persen lainnya disesuaikan dengan kondisi daerah. Dengan demikian dengan diberlakukan sistim zonasi yang baru maka anak anak yang berprestasi bisa memilih sekolah yang mereka inginkan. Dengan digulirkannya kebijakan merdeka belajar maka hal ini juga harus di barengi dengan peningkatan kualitas SDM tenaga pendidik dan peningkatan kesejahteraan Guru dan memperhatikan nasib tenaga guru honorer. Merdeka belajar apakah akan mempu menjawab permasalahan pendidikan di Indonesia, itu masih membutuhkan pembuktian namun setidaknya dengan merdeka belajar guru maupun peserta didik telah medeka dalam mengajar dan menerima pembelajaran.

: Breast cancer is an invasive disease with a high prevalence among females. Despite various treatments, studies are still ongoing to find an effective treatment for this disease. This study aimed to synthesize a new series of diaryl benzo[d]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole compounds containing aminoethoxy side chain and in vitro investigate their cytotoxicity on a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). Twelve derivatives (6a-6l) were synthesized from this scaffold, the structures of which were spectroscopically confirmed. The cytotoxic effects of the derivatives on the MCF-7 cell line were also assessed using the MTT assay. All these compounds showed a good inhibitory effect on the MCF-7 cell line, compared to that of tamoxifen. Compounds (6i) and (6j) showed higher cytotoxicity with relevant inhibitory effects of 81% and 73%, respectively.
Education System in Subcarpathian Rus during Interwar Period in the Estimates of the Rusyn Politicians and Public Figures
Authors: Shevchenko Kirill , Bogatko Anna
Published: June 2022

The article analyzes origins and further development of the education system in Subcarpathian Rus after the incorporation of that region into Czechoslovak republic in 1919 as well as the attitudes of the Rusyn politicians and public figures towards various aspects of school system in Subcarpathian Rus. Since during 1920-ties the school system in Subcarpathian region reflected the policy of “soft ukrainization” of the local Rusyn population pursued by Prague administration in cultural sphere, it aroused growing criticism from Russophile part of Rusyn public and political spectrum while the representatives of Ukrainian movement in Subcarpathian region insisted on more resolute pro-Ukrainian policy in the field of education. Rise of the political and cultural confrontation between the Russophile and Ukrainian intelligentsia of the Carpathian Rusyns became one of the important reasons for the destabilization of the situation in that region in the late 1930s.

Published: June 2022

Objective Novel coronavirus disease 2019 is known to have poor impacts on health with health systems facing serious challenges. Limited information is available on health issues for patients who have recovered from the disease. Our study aims to investigate the extent of sleep disorders in patients who have recovered from the coronavirus disease.

Material and Methods A casecontrol study with 256 patients who had recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 was carried out, with 491 patients enrolled as the control. All participants were 18 years or older, and sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index. Furthermore, sleep latency and hours needed for sleep were calculated. Chi-square and t-test statistical methods were used to analyze the variables.

Results A total of 215 (84%) recovered patients were associated with poor sleep quality, with 384 patients (78%) in the control group. The PSQI values for recovered and control groups were 8.77±3.7591 and 8.139±3.068, respectively, with a significant p-value of 0.014. Average hours needed for sleep were 6.899±3.7869 and 6.44±1.477 for recovered and control patients, respectively, with a significant p-value of 0.01. The difference in sleep latency was non-significant (p=0.374), with 29.01±39.3702 and 33.520±38.208 minutes for recovered and control patients, respectively.

Conclusion Sleep disorders were more prevalent among patients who had recovered from COVID-19 than the control group.
Adaptive behaviour in children with developmental disorders
Authors: Ćalasan Slađana , Drljan Bojana
Published: June 2022

Adaptive behaviour is defined as a set of conceptual, social and practical skills that are learned and used in everyday life. Assessment of adaptive behaviour is an indispensable part in the identification and classification of intellectual disabilities, but also an important indicator of the development of children with other developmental disorders and children of typical development. The sample was divided into three groups: children with specific language impairment (SLI), children with mild intellectual disability (MID) and children with typical development (TD). The Adaptive Behaviour Diagnostic Scale (ABDS; Pearson, Patton, Mruzek 2016) was used to assess adaptive skills. The objectives of the study were to compare the levels of mastery of adaptive skills in children with SLI, MID and TD children, as well as to examine the impact of each of the individual domains (conceptual, social and practical) on the overall score of adaptive behaviour. The research results showed that children with SLI and MID have significantly poorer achievements compared to TD children. However, although children with SLI have poor performance, the results showed that adaptive skills of these children are significantly better compared to children with MID. Regresion analysis showed that conceptual skills are the best predictor of adaptive behaviour in TD children, while social skills are the best predictor of adaptive behaviour in both children with SLI and children with MID.

Authors: Vidosavljević Milena
Published: June 2022

The current Covid-19 pandemic has completely changed the life of modern society and many of its segments. Undoubtedly, it influenced the entire education and the format of teaching so the online teaching and learning have become the most valuable tools in the emergency situation we are currently in. In this regard, the paper emphasizes, first of all, the explanation of online teaching and learning, the review of distance learning during the pandemic, as well as a brief overview of previous domestic and foreign researches on this topic. In order to research how the teachers coped in this situation, what are their experiences with online teaching, a research was conducted with foreign language teachers on the territory of Serbia. Therefore, in the second part of the paper, research methods are presented, as well as the results of a survey and interviews with foreign language teachers. The results showed that as the benefits of online teaching, teachers singled out the ease of preparation of classes, students' interest in teaching, increased quality of teaching materials, the possibility of faster and easier access to materials. On the other hand, the shortcomings of this type of teaching include insufficiently developed digital literacy of teachers, student workload, lack of time, technical equipment, poor internet connection and inability to control student work.
Estimated parental styles as predictors of psychopathic tendencies of adolescents from Kosovo and Metohija
Authors: Pavićević Miljana , Milutinović Kristina
Published: June 2022

The aim of the research was to determine the predictive power of parenting styles of parents assessed by adolescents in predicting adolescent psychopathic tendencies. The sample consisted of 270 adolescents aged 16 and 17 from Kosovo and Metohija. The following instruments were used in the research: Questionnaire of parental styles and dimensions - PSDQ and Questionnaire for assessment of psychopathic deviation - PAQ. The results of the research show that adolescents perceive their parents as predominantly authoritative in their upbringing and that they show low psychopathic tendencies. The estimated educational styles of the father by adolescents explain from 8% to 10% of the variance of psychopathic tendencies of adolescents, and as significant predictors are regulation with a negative sign of the b coefficient as an aspect of authoritative educational style, and coercion and verbal hostility as aspects of authoritarian educational style. Estimated adolescent parenting styles by adolescents explain 5% to 8% of the variance in adolescent psychopathic tendencies, but no variable has emerged from the group of predictor variables as a significant predictor.
The practice of drinking from the 'tea' glass in Ibarski Kolašin
Authors: Pavlović Aleksandar
Published: June 2022

In this paper the author pays attention to the practice of drinking from big rakija, the so-called "tea" glass, distributed among the Serbs in Ibarski Kolašin. This act the author observes as an aspect of culture which Serbs from Ibarski Kolašin perceive as an element of their tradition, while the emphasis in the paper is on the subjective side of the researched phenomenon, what means that attention is focused on understanding the way in which its immediate bearers think and speak about it. The idea of the author, in other words, was to try to replace the classic ethnographic description of drinking from the "tea" glass, which would be given from the "outside", from the researcher's point of view, with the approach in which the emphasis would be on personal descriptions of the mentioned practice, given from the point of view of its concrete bearers. The analytical procedure applied in achieving the set goal was based on an anthropologically key perspective, and that is the emic perspective, or view from the "inside", which means that, methodologically speaking, the author had used the qualitative approach, primarily the conversation with interlocutors. In this way, the author obtained the narrative material, which he transcribed, systematized, selected, and then transferred to the paper in an effort to present it in its original form, as it was noted in direct contact with interlocutors. The narrative material presented in the paper was obtained on the basis of field research conducted in Kosovska Mitrovica and Zubin Potok on several occasions during 2021 and 2022.
Correlation between parental permission for physical play and motor development of children aged 3-5
Authors: Blanuša Jelena , Sedlak Jasmina
Published: June 2022

The environment in which a child develops determines, to a greater extent, the direction of his motor development. The main aim of our study was to examine the influence of parental permission regarding free physical play on the development of children's motor ability. Different aspects of motor development were measured in 24 children aged 3 to 5 years. Parental permission for free play was assessed via a questionnaire filled by parents. The results showed significant correlations between parental permission and child's motor development. Permissions were related mostly to manual precision and coordination. Then, to a lesser degree with fine motor skills and endurance, while there was no correlation with balance. Additionally, we found that this strong relationship emerges at 4 and 5 years of age, while at the age of three it is not documented. Our research results emphasize the strong impact of parental permission on determining the process of child's motor development.
TraveLux: An interaction-based brand relationship scale for the luxury travelers
Authors: Baksi Arup
Published: June 2022

Luxury consumption is on the rise over the last two decades. This brings challenge for the luxury brand marketers to sustain with the aspirational quotient of the luxury consumers. The inherent perception associated with the luxury consumption, namely narrow-band of consumers having ability to pay premium price, has given way to mass luxury consumption, thereby diminishing the price sensitivity of the segment. This luxury paradox calls for a fresh look into the equations that influence and control the relationship between the consumers and luxury brands. This study aims to develop a brand relationship instrument, namely, TraveLux, with specific reference to the travel, tourism and hospitality industry. The cross-sectional study was conducted in three major tourism destinations of India, namely, Rajasthan, Kerala and Goa. The initial scale items for the instrument were obtained by collating past studies and conducting a focus group exercise. The instrument was empirically tested to identify the relationship factors. Findings revealed that the TraveLux Brand Relationship can be mounted on four factors (dimensions), namely, immersive experience, ethno-cultural acculturation, passion & excitement and self congruence. The validated scale was further tested for possible deviations with new group of respondents. The measurement invariance did not reveal significant difference between the baseline model and the tested model. TraveLux will provide a framework for the luxury-travel brand marketers to develop specific brand designs and brand communications based on the identified relationship factors. Future research may be conducted to expand the scope of the instrument to embed behavioural and attitudinal issues of the travelers.

Published: June 2022

The research was focused on analyzing the role of women entrepreneurs in business sector of tourism within the Moravica District, or more precisely the focus was on the experience and challenges of women entrepreneurs within the researched territory. The research results indicated to reliable insight into the current position, as well as possibilities and threats of further tourism development, by considering concrete advantages and difficulties that might occur on the basis of starting their own business, especially in the case of women entrepreneurs. In respect to that, the research results provided a realistic perception of opportunities, as well as barriers for further development of women entrepreneurship in tourism of the Moravica District. The research results pointed to the fact that women from the Moravica District, who are independently engaged in tourism, are faced with various challenges. These challenges mainly occurred by the absence of appropriate trainings and educations in tourism industry, as well as by insufficient access to financial resources for starting or improving their business. All together might provide a basis for organization of educations and trainings that will obtain all the necessary information on different subventions that might facilitate the business operations of female entrepreneurs.
Definition of fundamental breach of contract on international sale of goods
Authors: Zdravković Uroš
Published: June 2022

The fundamental breach of contract is defined in Article 25 of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), which states: "A breach of contract committed by one of the parties is fundamental if it results in such detriment to the other party as substantially to deprive him of what he is entitled to expect under the contract, unless the party in breach did not foresee and a reasonable person of the same kind in the same circumstances would not have foreseen such a result." When a fundamental breach of contract occurs, the deprived party (seller or buyer) has a right to avoid a contract. Avoidance of contract is the last resort remedy applicable in case other remedies are ineffective. Pursuant to Article 25 of the CISG, there are two criteria which must be fulfilled for a fundamental breach of contract to exist. The first criterion is objective; it comprises two conditions: a) there is a breach of obligation defined in the contract or in the CISG; and b) such a breach substantially deprives the other party of what the party is entitled to expect under the contract. The second criterion is subjective: the breaching party has to foresee such a result. Although this criterion is essentially subjective, it contains an objective element, embodied in the use of the reasonable person standard. Hence, even when the breaching party has not foreseen substantial deprivation of the other party as a result of breach, a substantial breach of contract will be deemed to exist if a reasonable person of the same kind in the same circumstances could have foreseen such a result.
Vestuário pedagógico e inclusivo como recurso de aprendizagem infantil
Authors: Bononi Juliana , Domiciano Cássia Leticia Carrara , Bamonte Joedy Luciana Barros Marins
Published: June 2022

O presente trabalho, de revisão de literatura, possui como principal objetivo buscar conexões entre a inclusão escolar, os recursos didáticos de aprendizagem e o vestuário infantil, verificando se este último pode ser usado no desenvolvimento das relações, percepções e deduções que as crianças fazem durante a interação com os objetos, por meio da aprendizagem criativa e significativa. Pode-se afirmar que o vestuário é um objeto pedagógico e lúdico, e seus elementos podem ser usados como recurso de aprendizagem pois auxiliam as crianças no desenvolvimento da percepção e interpretação por meio da exploração sensorial e interação social. Visto que o vestir é como uma construção pessoal, este auxilia na formação da autoimagem e oferece ao usuário infantil outro ponto de vista a respeito de si mesmo, fazendo-o sentir-se mais confiante, belo e até um “super-herói”. Contudo, é preciso capacitar professoras e professores para que estes profissionais estejam aptos a auxiliar as crianças neste processo.
Cancer Screening and Surveillance Testing for Older Adult Cancer Survivors
Authors: Keating Nancy L.
Published: June 2022

In older adult cancer survivors, cancer screening and surveillance testing carry benefits and harms that depend on a variety of factors. Benefits of screening include early diagnosis and a lower risk of death from cancer. Harms include false-positive results, unnecessary biopsies, incidental findings, and overdiagnosis. The primary factor in deciding whether older adult cancer survivors should undergo screening or surveillance testing is life expectancy, but other factors also come into play, such as a patient’s health status, goals, and values. An individualized approach as well as shared decision-making are crucial when working with patients to make these important decisions.

Authors: Gates Richard S , Osborn William A , McLean Mark J , Shaw Gordon A , Filliben James J
Published: June 2022

A batch of 94 silicon chips containing arrays of uniform rectangular cantilevers were microfabricated from a single silicon wafer and their stiffnesses and resonance frequencies calibrated using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). The cantilevers are 50 m wide, (about the width of a human hair), and vary in length from 600 m to 300 m. They have stiffness values nominally ranging from 0.03 N/m to 0.2 N/m and nominal first flexural resonance frequencies in the range of 5 kHz to 21 kHz respectively. The LDV cantilever stiffness calibration measurements proved very reliable and combined expanded uncertainties better than 3% in stiffness were obtained for individual devices. These devices can be used as reference artifacts to validate atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilever stiffness measurement methods as well as directly calibrating AFM test cantilever stiffness using the reference cantilever method. This NIST SP-260 provides details on the source and preparation of the devices as well as the analytical approach of using a laser Doppler vibrometer to accurately measure both stiffness (k), resonance frequency (f0), and Quality factor (Q) of each cantilever. The statistical analysis applied to the data sets is described. An example of the reference cantilever method is also provided for individuals wishing to use these devices to make direct calibrations of AFM test cantilevers.

Investigation of ways to escape from custody as a prevention of an emergency
Authors: Chepik Irina Viktorovna
Published: June 2022

The subject of the study is the public danger posed by escaping from custody. The article indicates which social institutions are harmed and what serious consequences may occur after the implementation of such a socially dangerous act as escape. Attention is drawn to the importance of studying the methods of escape from custody, since here lies the consequence of many violations in the official activities of the security and escort units of the police - the assumption by police officers of favorable conditions for committing illegal actions. The problem of shortage in the investigated police units is particularly noted. Proposals are being made to stimulate the employees of the security and escort units of the police. Most of the methods of escape from custody presented in the article are illustrated by judicial practice, which means the practical applicability of these methods by a special agent and the presence of already completed crimes, as a result of which a number of police officers have been brought to disciplinary or criminal responsibility. The main conclusions are some measures to prevent escape from pre-trial detention. The study draws a parallel between violations by police officers of the established order of protection and escort and the commission (or attempt) to escape from custody. Attention is drawn to the need to study the causes, conditions, factors contributing to the escape, only in conjunction with the study of the ways in which it is possible to escape from custody. The development of the phenomena under consideration is impossible in isolation from each other, as it entails unreliable interpretation, incorrect conclusions, and, accordingly, incorrectly formulated preventive measures, which may not be effective as a result.
Formulaic language identification model based on GCN fusing associated information
Authors: Meng Fanqi , Zheng Yujie , Bao Songbin , Wang Jingdong , Yang Shuaisong
Published: June 2022

Formulaic language is a general term for ready-made structures in a language. It usually has fixed grammatical structure, stable language expression meaning and specific use context. The use of formulaic language can coordinate sentence generation in the process of writing and communication, and can significantly improve the idiomaticity and logic of machine translation, intelligent question answering and so on. New formulaic language is generated almost every day, and how to accurately identify them is a topic worthy of research. To this end, this article proposes a formulaic language identification model based on GCN fusing associated information. The innovation is that each sentence is constructed into a graph in which the nodes are part-of-speech features and semantic features of the words in the sentence and the edges between nodes are constructed according to mutual information and dependency syntactic relation. On this basis, the graph convolutional neural network is adopted to extract the associated information between words to mine deeper grammatical features. Therefore, it can improve the accuracy of formulaic language identification. The experimental results show that the model in this article is superior to the classical formulaic language identification model in terms of accuracy, recall and F1-score. It lays a foundation for the follow-up research of formulaic language identification tasks.

Contamination and Potential Ecology Risk of Heavy Metals in the Sediment of the Cau river, Vietnam
Authors: Van Dieu-Anh , Huynh Trung Hai
Published: June 2022

Five sediment cores collected at the Cau river section flowing through Thai Nguyen were analyzed to evaluate the vertical profile, enrichments, and contamination of six heavy metals including Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, As, and Cd. The impacts of investigated metals on ecology were estimated by the toxic unit and the potential ecological risk index. The obtained mean heavy metal concentration in the five sediment cores for investigated metals was: Cd (0.56 - 1.74 mg kg−1) < As (10.2 - 32.3 mg kg−1) < Cr (12.1 - 36.2 mg kg−1) < Cu (16.0 - 51.2 mg kg−1) < Pb (24.5 - 85.5 mg kg−1) < Zn (48.2 - 151 mg kg−1). The spatial distribution and vertical patterns of heavy metal concentration in the sediment cores differed substantially among the investigated sites. Among the six investigated heavy metals, Cr was of natural origin while the remaining 5 metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Cd) came primarily from human activities. Based on the classification using EF, Igeo, and PLI, sediment at S3, where there was a concentration of discharge from main activities of the area, was strongly contaminated with heavy metals. The other sites (S1, S2, S4, and S5) were in the condition slightly contaminated with heavy metals. As and Cd were mostly associated to the overall pollution load index of heavy metals in the sediment of the Cau river. The highest STU and considerable risk from heavy metals were observed at S3. Sediment at S1, S2, S4, and S5 posed a moderate ecological risk.
The Potential use of Phenolic Compounds Recovered from Olive Mill Wastewater in Food Model Systems
Authors: Maazoun Asma Mami , Aounallah Mohamed Karim , Hammami Sofiene , Damergi Chokri
Published: June 2022

In terms of economic growth, health benefits, and culture, the olive oil industry is a critical sector for many countries. However, olive mill wastewater (OMWW) is one of the most polluting by-products of the manufacture of virgin olive oil. Several studies have reported that OMWW is a valuable resource of usable compounds for recovery and valorization. Because of its high content of phenolic compounds, it may serve a significant function in food because of the phenolics' strong antioxidant value. The current paper provides a survey of OMWW's phenolic recovery methods, focusing on their application as active constituents in food products. In addition, this contribution provides an overview of key research describing the potentialities of OMWW phenolics in food model systems. The Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct databases were chosen as our paper references. Based on the available studies, traditional techniques like solvent extraction, membranes, and, more recently, innovative technologies that promise minimum impact on these phytochemicals’ compounds are used to recover phenolics from OMWW. Various food products, such as vegetable oils, bakery products, milk beverages, and meat products, can be fortified. All of these applications are based on phenolics' antibacterial and antioxidant properties to minimize food matrix alteration and contamination.

Battery Cells and a Super-capacitor Bank Storage System: Design Trend and Strategies for Renewable Power Applications
Authors: Enobakhare Golden , Obakhena Hope I. , Ogunbor Samuel , Okundamiya Michael S.
Published: June 2022

The variability of critical load demands has led to an increasing push for a clean, sufficient and reliable power supply. Employing innovative techniques to address this need, is a feat yet to be met by several developing nations. Inverter systems based on battery storage provide the extra energy supply to these loads, due to the unavailability of the general power supply. Nevertheless, discharging/charging values of energy demands at peak levels notably affect the performance of batteries. Interestingly, an integrated energy system incorporating power and energy densities of high value can be supplied by combining batteries and other storage devices, in this context super-capacitors (SC). In light of the above, this paper presents the hybrid combination of battery cells and a super-capacitor bank storage system, highlighting its design as well as performance assessment aimed at improving the battery’s life span and its performance while on-load. A novel automatic switching system (ASS) is incorporated to establish a parallel connection between the battery and SC. The ASS detects energy signals from either source of power considered and engages the battery/super-capacitor hybrid system, either to charge or serve as a source of energy to the load. The results show that a significant initial value of transient current is supplied by the super-capacitor. The current draw at peak level is drastically reduced on the battery. This also results in economical savings in cost and increased reliability, which has been necessitated in the backup energy market.

Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital of district Nawabshah, Sindh and Suleman Roshan Medical College during the period April 2019- May 2020. The data regarding adverse obstetric outcomes of all teenage (<18 years) compared with the reference group of (19-22 years) and women of (>35 years) were compared with reference (31-34 years of age) delivering at the facility. The frequencies, percentages were derived as part of descriptive statistics, chi-square was used for parametric testing with 0.05 level of significance and odds ratio were applied to compare the risk of extreme age groups with their respective reference groups.

Results: A total of 104 participants were recruited in this study among 16.3% accounted for teenage (<18 years) and 34.6% accounted for advanced maternal age (> 35 years). Multivariate association between maternal age groups and the adverse obstetric variables were taken into account. Elevated rates for all adverse obstetric outcomes were observed between the variables among extreme-age mothers compared to reference group. The differences were statistically significant with p-value of 0.001 respectively. The chi-square test was found to be insignificant for other factors such as socio demographics, obstetric history and mode of delivery. Odds ratio was calculated to measure the risk associated with extreme age. Those women who were <18 years of age attributed 3.2 odds of developing fetal complications and 3.9 odds of developing maternal complication whereas women >35 years of age attributed 3.7 odds of developing fetal and odds 10.7 developing maternal complications.

Conclusion: Women in extreme age group were at a higher risk for developing adverse fetal and maternal obstetric complications as compared to their reference group.

Published: June 2022

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the serious health threats in the world and death due to it is projected to reach up to 10 million every year by 2050. In India, the government implemented a National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (NAP-AMR) intending to develop a laboratory-based AMR surveillance system, guidelines and practices to promote the awareness of the rational use of antibiotics in healthcare communities. In this plane, only five major hospitals are included which is not sufficient to provide the actual status of AMR. The present study focused on the AMR patterns analysis for bacteria isolated from the different health units in SSB heart and multispecialty hospital, Faridabad, Haryana. Clinically relevant samples such as pus & Body fluid, respiratory, urine and blood samples from the suspected patients were screened over a period of 5 months (February to June 2021) and AMR pattern analysis was carried out by using the disc diffusion method (Kirby–Bauer test) and interpretation was made as per the guidelines of recent Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. The study revealed that E. coli was the most dominated resistant bacteria. Moreover, aminoglycosides showed 55% resistance against maximum bacterial isolates from respiratory samples while fosfomycin had higher sensitivity i.e. 85% against pathogens from urine samples. The present study concluded that regular susceptibility testing should be conducted with a defined interval to detect the current trend of resistance which helps clinicians in the effective infectious disease management and leads to reducing the burden of AMR.
The Sustainability of Pervasive Learning in Accounting Education: Strategy in the Transition of “Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka”

Published: June 2022

In accounting, sustainability can improve the accuracy, reliability, and relevancy of teaching and learning in the educational, economic, and social landscapes that are constantly changing and evolving towards Big Data Personalized Learning or Pervasive Learning. Firstly, the purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the educational landscape in the accounting field in the context of pervasive learning during the transitional period of MBKM. Second, providing evidence of the new teaching and learning readiness of the 2020 MBKM grant recipients in the accounting education program at Muhammadiyah Higher Education. A literature study is conducted to support the empirical evidence obtained from questionnaires filled out by groups of Accounting Department students. This study finds that, although the beginning of pervasive learning is new for them, with the help of the technological convenience provided by the Ministry of Education and Culture's big data, it can be well-adopted. This convenience is due to the literacy approach that is used in disseminating information to students and the grant outcomes that must be implemented to create a conducive environment for teaching and learning. This research also finds that students' understanding of the use of learning technology has increased. The implications of these findings can provide the roadmaps and strategies that can be carried out in the accounting learning process in the MBKM era through pervasive learning and sustainable technology developments.

The Lewis Coastal Chapel-sites Survey undertook research and fieldwork, the latter between 2004 and 2008, to explore and record the known chapel-sites on the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles of Scotland. There is a scarcity of surviving contemporary historical documentation relating to Lewis in the medieval period, but archaeology has great potential to further investigate these fascinating and diverse sites. Research linked together previous antiquarian and local historical research, with walkover survey and description of each site on the ground. This was followed by targeted topographic and geophysical surveys of particular sites. At the end of the project it was possible to assess the cultural and research potential of this remarkable group of sites, and to identify gaps where further work was needed. More than 40 sites were identified and the remains recorded at each site were varied, some associated with old settlements, or traditionally linked with other chapel-sites nearby, others alone and isolated. The chapels themselves ranged from upstanding buildings still used for worship, to low grassy banks only just discernible beneath the turf or unlocated and kept alive only in oral tradition. This publication reports on the results of the survey work with a brief conclusion of the main findings.
The habitat use and trophic niche comparisons among closely related land snails in Northeast Asia

The diversification of phenotypes and species has been a major concern in evolutionary biology. Both resource competition and predator–prey interactions have been suggested as mechanisms that drive phenotypic divergence and speciation, but the latter has attracted much less attention than the former. TheKaraftohelixland snails in Northeast Asia provide an excellent model to investigate the effects of competition and predation on the divergence process. This is because (1) all species—especiallyKaraftohelix edithaandKaraftohelix gainesiin northern Japan—are closely related and sometimes indistinguishable by genital morphologies and neutral nuclear and mitochondrial DNA markers, despite the distinct phenotypes among species; (2) two different anti‐predatory strategies (i.e., passive and active defenses) are observed for each species in this group; and (3) multiple species have generally overlapping distributions and were often observed at exactly the same time and place. In this study, we conducted quantitative quadrat surveys and carbon/nitrogen stable isotope analyses to compare the microhabitat and trophic niches amongKaraftohelixland snails and estimated the cause of adaptive radiation in this taxon. All the results indicated that the differences in microhabitats and trophic niches amongKaraftohelixland snails—especially between the most closely related sister species,K. edithaandK. gainesiin northern Japan—were too small to promote the adaptive radiation in this group. Therefore, it is difficult to explain the extreme divergence of phenotypes and species amongKaraftohelixland snails in Northeast Asia based on environmental adaptation through resource competition and/or reproductive interference.
Densification and Fracture Responses of (Ta1−xWx)C–WC Composites

The mechanical behavior of 90 vol% (Ta1−xWx)C–10 vol% WC (x ≈ 0.2) [90(Ta0.8W0.2)C–10WC] composites is described, achieving a significant enhancement in mean fracture strength compared with nominally pure TaC prepared under identical processing conditions (from 114 to 362 MPa), and a higher characteristic strength (from 188 to 377 MPa), while maintaining the same Weibull modulus of 13. The fracture strengths correspond to calculated critical flaw sizes in the range of 5–10 μm and are consistent with the microstructure observations presented. The 90(Ta0.8W0.2)C–10WC composite begins densification at an onset sintering temperature of 1503 K, which is 500 K lower than TaC. It also exhibits enhanced densification by inhibiting grain growth at sintering temperatures up to 2173 K, therefore resulting in a relative density of 98% compared with 80% for TaC. These results show a promising guideline from which ceramic additions can be chosen to enhance the densification and functionality of ultrahigh‐temperature ceramics.
