Digital Media Ethics
Authors: Ott Torbjörn , Tiozzo Marco
Published: July 2022

Digital media and connected technologies have brought some new ethical challenges to the surface. Digital media ethics is the scientific and systematic study of ethical attitudes and problems in relation to the use of digital media. This paper discusses the role of digital media ethics in modern school education. First, it is argued that digital media ethics is best perceived as a dimension of digital competence more generally. Since the development of students' digital competence is one of the central ambitions in modern school education, there is good reason to teach digital media ethics in school. Then, the authors go on to argue that there are at least three potential benefits from teaching digital media ethics: (i) students will increase their digital competence; (ii) students will develop their ability to use digital and connected technologies such as mobile phones for learning; and (iii) students will be helped in living a good life. Finally, the authors offer some reflections on challenges that might arise when digital media ethics is integrated in school education.

Published: July 2022

Augmented Reality (AR) allows users to interact with the virtual world in the real-world environment. This paper proposes a child avatar simulation framework using multimodal data integration and user interaction in the AR environment. This framework generates the child avatar that can interact with the user and respond to his/her behaviors and consists of three subsystems: (1) the avatar interaction system scrutinizes user behaviors based on the user data, (2) the avatar action control system generates naturalistic avatar activities (actions and voices) according to the avatar internal status, and (3) the avatar display system renders the avatar through the AR interface. In addition, a child tantrum management training application has been built based on the proposed framework. And a light machine learning model has been integrated to enable efficient and effective speech emotion recognition. A sufficiently realistic child tantrum management training based on the evaluation of clinical child psychologists is enabled, which helps users get familiar with child tantrum management.

Authors: Ting Yu-Liang , Tsai Shin-Ping , Tai Yaming , Tseng Teng-Hui
Published: July 2022

The web offers rich learning resources, including technology education. With the advocate of hands-on learning and STEM education, many web videos teach users how to use technological tools to create an STEM artifacts and acquire related science knowledge. These videos were adopted by teachers in their classroom and followed closely as pro-claimed technology education. As web credibility is a challenge and how students approach the topics to develop systematic knowledge are crucial, this study proposed a learning model to address these challenges. The model was embedded into a teacher training to have teachers self-experience these challenges. Participating teachers were expected to construct their pedagogical knowledge inductively, and their responses to the proposed learning were collected. With the participation of 27 in-service teachers, the results demonstrated teachers’ recognition and support of the proposed model. However, their belief and concerns regarding its implementation generated uncertainty. Study results broaden the spectrum of hands-on teacher training.

Authors: Zhang Qing , Lockee Barbara B.
Published: July 2022

This study adopts Wenger's (1998) community of practice (CoP) framework to understand the relationships and professional learning community formed at an information technology call center at a large research university in the United States. Forming CoP in the workplace can facilitate organizational knowledge sharing and improve employee performance. In this study, 14 indicators are used to investigate the phenomena of a community of practice at an IT call center. Data on key features of a community of practice was collected from multiple sources, including on-site observations, surveys, interviews, and documents and artifacts. A social network analysis was performed to reveal the connections among employees at the IT call center. The findings indicate that a community of practice was formed at the IT call center based on the Wenger's CoP indicators. These determining features can be used to evaluate the successful adoption of a community of practice within an organization as a means to enhance informal workplace learning and facilitate professional development.

Authors: Nishio Kumiko , Shimizu Takuya
Published: July 2022

This research shows how different educational forms such as schooling and apprenticeship are related to the development of artistic creativity from the interdisciplinary perspective based on educational anthropology of performing arts and management studies. This topic has been insufficiently explored by previous studies in both fields. More specifically, by applying the concept of schoolnization, the research compares two contrasting case studies of Chinese Qin opera and Japanese Nohgaku, based on first-hand data acquired from years of ethnographic research, to formulate a hypothesis on the ideal relationship between the enhancement of artistic creativity and process of career development. The hypothesis serves as a practical analytical framework for future research in the field.

Authors: Gharsallah Amina , Zarai Faouzi , Neji Mahmoud
Published: July 2022

With the rapid development of communication technology, vehicular communications systems are evolving to Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) by providing its wireless network services with increasing demand for high data rate. However, the highly mobile feature of vehicles and varying network densities in such communication systems pose challenges for the mobility management, including frequent handovers, increased delay and failure of the handover process. In this work, we propose an optimized mobility management approach using Software-Defined Network (SDN) in the future vehicular networks. In addition, we have proposed a new handover management mechanism. This new mechanism allows vehicles to select the most optimal network based on multi-criteria metrics. The simulation results show that the proposed approach performs well and achieves an improvement in terms of handover delay and handover failure rate, compared to existing approach.

Authors: Chiang Tzu-An , Che Z. H. , Huang Yi-Ling , Tsai Chang-You
Published: July 2022

Companies can gain critical real-time insights into customer requirements and service evaluation by mining social media. To acquire the service performance and improve the service deficiencies for hotels, this research proposes a benchmark-based performance evaluation model for hotel service to enable hotel managers to assess the service performance. In the case of non-benchmark service hotels, the identification and improvement model for non-benchmark criteria can recognize and analyze the required quantities of performance improvements for non-benchmark criteria. For understanding the causes of service deficiencies, this research mines the online posts and creates a hierarchical ontology of service deficiencies for hotels. A hierarchical ontology-based neural network is proposed to automatically identify the causes of service deficiencies. This study employs an online forum as a case to achieve the identification accuracy of causes of service deficiencies of 92.68%. The analytical result can demonstrate the significant effectiveness and practical value of the proposed methodology.

Published: July 2022

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues to be a highly stressful event with a major impact on psychological mental health worldwide. The use of different coping strategies may change the perception of psychological well-being during the pandemic. The present study aims to explore psychological mental health in relation to sociodemographic variables and to analyze the coping strategies of the Italian population in dealing with COVID-19. Implications for clinical interventions are reported. A total of 537 individuals (>18) participated in the survey completing measures of sociodemographic data, general psychological well-being, and coping strategies. Results found that females, students, and unmarried people reported the lowest levels of well-being. Specifically, the coping strategy called positive attitude was positively correlated with psychological well-being, whereas avoidance and social support strategies negatively influenced well-being. Understanding beneficial coping strategies is central to optimally manage the long-lasting of the current COVID-19 situation and may be useful for mental health professionals in treating patients suffering psychologically from the pandemic.

Authors: Levy Saryn R. , Hilsenroth Mark J. , Conway Francine , Owen Jesse
Published: July 2022

This study examines the relationship between patient personality characteristics and therapeutic integration. Within a sample of patients (N = 93) receiving outpatient psychodynamically- oriented psychotherapy, we assessed patient Borderline and Emotionally Dysregulated personality features through the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure (SWAP-200), and therapeutic technique using the Comparative Psychotherapy Process Scale (CPPS) during an early treatment session. We examined personality dimensionally, psychotherapy interventions across different theoretical orientations, as well as psychotherapy integration. These analyses revealed an overlap between the Borderline Clinical Prototype and the Emotionally Dysregulated-Dysphoric Q-factor, with the former associated with higher use of integration and the latter associated with higher use of either psychodynamic- interpersonal or cognitive-behavioral interventions. Secondary analyses also indicated the greater presence of interventions oriented towards emotional exploration and to the didactic instruction of effective symptom coping techniques across both of these personality subtypes early in treatment. The key differences between these personality types, as well as the theoretical, empirical, and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
LACUNAS DA ACUMULAÇÃO SECULAR DE MATÉRIA ORGÂNICA NOS ECOSSISTEMAS AQUÁTICOS: SUB-REPRESENTAÇÃO DAS ÁREAS MENOS ALTERADAS EM ESCALA GLOBAL

Published: July 2022

Ecossistemas aquáticos como lagos, baías e lagoas costeiras são bem distribuídos entre as zonas climáticas do planeta, constituindo destinos preferenciais aos aportes de biomassa e nutrientes provenientes da bacia de drenagem. Grandes quantidades de matéria orgânica (MO) terrestre e aquática, as quais podem ser remineralizadas a gases de efeito estufa ou preservadas, lhe conferem um importante papel à ciclagem global de carbono (C) e subsequentemente ao clima da biosfera. Além disso, estes ambientes deposicionais têm sido considerados “ecossistemas sentinelas”, pois mudanças globais frequentes na rede de drenagem (e.g., desmatamento, eutrofização e intervenções físicas) têm alterado substancialmente as taxas de acumulação de sedimentos e MO. No entanto, a distribuição latitudinal dos dados publicados das taxas de ciclagem de C nos ecossistemas aquáticos, considerando os diferentes usos e coberturas da terra, ainda carece de melhor entendimento. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar a distribuição global do esforço amostral sobre as taxas de acumulação de MO em lagos, lagoas costeiras e baías, relacionando-os com a distribuição entre as latitudes e ecorregiões com diferentes graus de uso e cobertura da terra. As ecorregiões tropicais e subtropicais, boreais, outras latitudes médias e polar/subpolar representaram 76% da área relativa global de lagos em regiões menos alteradas, e, no entanto, concebem apenas ~18% dos dados publicados. Por outro lado, a classe de florestas temperadas em áreas menos alteradas de latitudes médias foi a única a apresentar uma representação de dados adequada em relação à sua distribuição em escala global. Esses resultados indicam que ecossistemas aquáticos tanto tropicais ou subtropicais, os quais apresentam taxas de ciclagem de C mais intensas e com maior variabilidade devido às condições mais quentes, quanto os de altas latitudes frias (i.e., boreais, subpolares e polares), ainda são altamente negligenciados nas compilações globais das taxas de acumulação de MO. Como conclusão, o presente estudo revelou a necessidade de maior esforço amostral para avaliar o papel dos sedimentos de fundo dos ecossistemas aquáticos como sumidouros de C (sob a forma de biomassa) nas áreas menos alteradas pela ação humana, o qual subsidie a identificação de áreas prioritárias à conservação nas áreas mais florestadas de baixas e altas latitudes.
Exuberant Praise: A Pentecostal Reading of Psalm 150
Authors: Martin Lee Roy
Published: July 2022

Enthusiastic praise of God has been a vital characteristic of the Pentecostal movement, and Pentecostals have appealed to Psalm 150 as justification for their extravagant worship. Therefore, the methodology of this article views Psalm 150 through the lens of Pentecostal spirituality and offers a contemporary appropriation of this biblical text for contemporary worship. The methodology includes historical–grammatical exegesis that focuses on the rhetorical effect of the poetic structure and content. The psalm is examined in light of its theology of worship, its role as the final song in the Psalter, and its implications for Pentecostal worship. The wide variety of musical instruments named in Psalm 150 suggests that any and all kinds of instruments can be used in worship. Colonialistic restrictions on instruments should be avoided. Many contemporary Pentecostal congregations have adopted a concert-like approach, in which everyone’s attention is directed toward the stage, where professional musicians enact a performance of praise. The instruments found in Psalm 150, however, include those that are played by the non-professionals, whom we would call the laity. Furthermore, participative community is implied in the invitation for “every breath” to praise the Lord.

Published: July 2022

In petroleum industry, the prediction of oil production flow rate plays an important role in tracking the good performance as well as maintaining production flow rate. In addition, a flow rate modelling with high accuracy will be useful in optimizing production properties to achieve the expected flow rate, enhance oil recovery factor and ensure economic efficiency. However, the oil production flow rate is traditionally predicted by theoretical or empirical models. The theoretical model usually gives predicted results with a wide variation of error, this model also requires a lot of input data that might be time-consuming and costly. The empirical models are often limited by the volume of data set used to construct the model, therefore predicted values from the applications of these models in practical condition are not highly accurate. In this research, the authors propose the use of an artificial neural network (ANN) to establish a better relationship between production properties and oil production flow rate and predict oil production flow rate. Using production data of 5 wells which use continuous gas lift method in X oil field, Vietnam, an ANN system was developed by using back-propagation algorithm and tansig function to predict production flow rate from the above data set. This ANN system is called a back-propagation neural network (BPNN). In comparison with the oil production flow rate data collected from these studied continuous gas lift oil wells, the predicted results from the constructed ANN achieved a very high correlation coefficient (98%) and low root mean square error (33.41 bbl/d). Therefore, the developed ANN models can serve as a practical and robust tool for oilfield prediction of production flow rate.

Published: July 2022

Pensando en América en la época de la colonización, debido al desconocimiento de la historia de las áreas, los asentamientos humanos no siempre fueron posicionados adecuadamente. La omisión de la variable ambiental tiene efectos negativos hasta el día de hoy. Este es el caso del distrito de Trujillo en Perú, donde el desarrollo urbano se realizó sobre el cauce de un río intermitente, que provoca la inundación de la zona urbana cuando este se activa. Con el apoyo de las geotecnologías se puede comprender la dinámica de la región y modelar las soluciones para minimizar el problema. El mapeo de los datos históricos de precipitaciones, la geología, el relieve del terreno, la evolución del uso y la cobertura de la tierra son datos que representan las principales características ambientales concernientes a la problemática de la cuenca de San Idelfonso. La caracterización de la cuenca indica una gran variación de altitud en el área de formación del flujo y los grandes declives en la misma área, lo que contribuye a la generación de flujo acelerado. En el área de formación del flujo hay granodiorita, un material de elevada fragmentación que contribuye al arrastre del material de la cuenca para el área de inundación urbana. El nivel freático tiene una gran variación, saturando rápidamente la cuenca y la contribución del uso y cobertura de la tierra es representada por la zona urbanizada. Las características ambientales analizadas en la cuenca de San Idelfonso traducen de forma clara el comportamiento de inundaciones en la cuenca, contribuyendo de forma directa a estas.

Published: July 2022

3D Reconstruction of surfaces in simulation software like MATLAB, Unity 3D and WebGL with
analog sensors is a major area of growing interest. Existing and improving technology like AR core
and other Artificial Reality/Virtual Reality technologies work with computer visionprocessors and
motion tracking cameras with other depth sensors are the go-to technologies now to map surfaces or
terrains. The problem is that this kind of technology is still in its initial stages and is not
economically viable. Google’s Project Tango is a project to develop a consumer device via which
they could map the environment is an example of such technologies. This paper deals specifically in
applications which can use analog sensor arrays to map the surroundings around them to create a 3D
map of their surroundings and execute their application pertaining to a certain logic defined by the
designer. This paper proposes a novel cost-effective method of immediate surface mapping which
can be integrated into diverse technological applications. Proposed methodology is validated by a
design validation prototype experimental setup. Paper also proposes how the proposed methodology
can be used in an autonomous quadcopter landing application. This method will serve as a very costeffective alternative to traditional mapping techniques.

Performance Analysis and Optimal
Cooperative Cluster Size for Randomly
Distributed Small Cells Under CAN Protocol
Authors: M.Mohana  , K.Vidyavathi  , S.Suresh
Published: July 2022

The ease of imposing multicell coordination mechanisms to enhancing system spectrum efficiency
(SE) and performance estimate is one of the key advantages of cloud/centralized control area
networks (CAN). Enormous number of cooperative cells should theoretically result in a higher SE,
but they may also cause considerable delays due to extra channel state information (CSI) feedback
and joint processing computing needs at the cloud data centre, resulting in performance deficit. I
partition the network into numerous clusters of cooperating tiny cells and create a throughput
optimization problem to study the impact of delays on throughput gains. As a function of cluster size,
I figure various delay factors and the network's sum-rate, treating cluster size as the fundamental
optimization variable. For both linear and planar network installations, I treat both base station and
user geometric locations as random variables in my study. On the basis of the homogeneous Poisson
point processing (PPP)model, the output SINR (signal-to-interference- plus-noise ratio) and ergodic
sum-rate are calculated. The sum-rate optimization problem is formulated and solved in terms of
cluster size. The suggested analytical framework may be used to precisely evaluate the performance
of practical cloud-based small cell networks via clustered cooperation, according to simulated study.

complexities associated with such hardening, FPGA architectural choices, power consumption.
Moreover, those choices have not been studied much and hence i explore a number of
possibilities.For avoiding inaccuracy, introduced when converting fragment of numeric to double,
these data are processed with decimal computation operation. Most processors only have hardwired
double computation units. So, decimal operations are executed with slow software decimal
computation functions. For the fast output of decimal operations, devoted tackle units have been

perpetration results show that the proposed computation operations achieve 15 percent better area
and 12% better performance.
A Review on Audio Encryption Using Chaotic
Sequences and Finite Field
Authors: Rehda Febin T  , Rafeeda K
Published: July 2022

Audio data are used in various fields such as education, engineering, mathematics, art,
advertisement, military, medicine, scientific research, and many more. This excessive growth of
audio data boosts the importance of multimedia data processing tools and digital documentation.
This access to multimedia data through the internet has created inappropriate prospects which are
hazardous for the confidentiality and integrity of the data. To encounter these threats, the domain of
audio data security gains broad attention. A considerable number of algorithms have been
established to protect personal information over open networks. Finite fields are well-studied
algebraic structures with enormous efficient properties which have applications in the fields of
cryptology and coding theory. Here, an existing system uses lossless binary Galois field extension
based efficient algorithm for audio data encryption. The architecture hired a special type of curve
in the diffusion module which depends on efficient elliptic curve arithmetic operations. So, it
generates pseudo-random numbers (PRN) and with slight computational efforts, it produces
optimum diffusion in the encrypted multimedia files. The method is compared with the proposed
system using a scheme uses Henon chaotic map and 128-bit AES secret key in order to generate the
cipher audio data. Henon chaotic map is a two dimensional iterated discrete dynamic system that
shows chaotic character on specific values of the constants used. Chaotic maps are very sensitive to
the initial parameters, i.e., a slight change in the initial conditions drastically changes the overall
output generated by the chaotic system. The investigational outcomes through different analyses
and time complexity demonstrated the ability of the techniques to counter various attacks.
Furthermore, two schemes are compared and more appropriate to be applied for data security.

Published: July 2022

El presente artículo recoge parte de los resultados obtenidos del Estudio sobre necesidades de planificación estratégica del deporte en Andalucía, realizado para la Consejería de Educación y Deporte de la Junta de Andalucía (Exp. 07/2020). Los objetivos del estudio consistieron en determinar las necesidades formativas, las prioridades de conocimiento científico y las políticas públicas que requiere el sistema deportivo andaluz en el contexto de la crisis epidemiológica de la COVID-19. Se basó en una metodología mixta (cuantitativa y cualitativa), usando como técnicas de recogida de información la encuesta Delphi y la entrevista individual. La muestra estaba representada por agentes del sistema deportivo andaluz (representantes de administraciones públicas, universidades, centros de investigación, federaciones, clubes, colegios profesionales, etc.), entre los que participaron una muestra de 171 informantes cualificados en la encuesta y 10 en las entrevistas. En el artículo se analizan los impactos derivados de la crisis epidemiológica de la COVID-19 identificados por los participantes, así como las medidas propuestas por éstos para paliarlos. Los expertos destacan, entre las consecuencias negativas, el impacto económico para el deporte a todos los niveles, la suspensión o limitación de la actividad física, la crisis de supervivencia en federaciones y clubes, y el aumento de la brecha de género durante la pandemia. Con respecto a las incidencias positivas, resaltan la modernización digital del sistema deportivo, el incremento de la conciencia social de la necesidad de hacer deporte y, por último, la mayor visibilidad de los profesionales del deporte.
Comparison of Education Policy USA & Indonesia

Published: July 2022

In public policy, both from Feldman's and Heidenheimer's definitions of CPP (Comparative Public Policy), we can conclude that there are 3 elements (elements) that are keywords that are the center of attention of CPP. In Feldman's terms, the 3 keywords are "process," "output," and "outcomes," while the keywords used by Heidenheimer are "haw," "why," and "to what effect." There are at least 3 reasons and objectives for comparing existing public policies between certain countries and other countries, or between existing policies in our country and policies in other countries. Namely: To get an overview and lessons on how to design a good policy. To gain a more profound and better understanding of how the role of government institutions and political processes (as they should be) is primarily related to the formulation and resolution of concrete problems that develop in society. To review various existing policies across the national level. Qualitative analysis method using SWOT. This is based on a qualitative study, not a quantitative one. This analysis refers to the results of studies and references on the existing Decentralization of education, including relevant books and publications. The comparison of public policies results includes Choices of Scope, Choices of Policy Instruments, Choices of Distribution, Choices of Restraints, and Innovation. In the United States, the education decentralization policy has proven to be an option to make it easier for the Government to deal with problems in detail and create alternative options for further improvement of education policy with innovations that vary from district to district. In Indonesia, the education decentralization policy has been able to help the central Government more quickly and in detail solve problems that arise in the education sector
A TRIBUTAÇÃO DOS LUCROS ORIUNDOS DO EXTERIOR CONTIDA NA LEI N. 12.973/2014 E A AÇÃO N. 3 DO PROJETO BEPS G20/OCDE
Authors: Seixas Salgado Thiago
Published: July 2022

A erosão das bases tributárias em razão das transferências dos lucros para o exterior, potencializada pela crise de 2008, levou a OCDE e os países que compõe o G20 a promover o Projeto BEPS G20/OCDE. Uma ação específica desse projeto teve o objetivo de tratar da tributação dos lucros auferidos no exterior (Ação n. 3). Concomitantemente à apresentação do Relatório Final da Ação n. 3, o Brasil, após declaração de constitucionalidade apenas parcial do art. 74 da MP n. 2.158-35, editou uma nova Lei para tratar da tributação dos lucros auferidos no exterior (Lei n. 12.973/2014). Apesar de a doutrina nacional ter levantado diversas críticas ao regime recentemente instituído, não houve, ao menos no aspecto quantitativo, uma afronta significativa às propostas constantes na Ação n. 3 do Projeto BEPS G20/OCDE. No presente artigo buscaremos apresentar as semelhanças e diferenças entre a Lei n. 12.973/2014 e a Ação n. 3 do Projeto BEPS G20/OCDE, e qual seria o efeito prático dessa relação.
Guía de entornos caminables seguros: Lineamientos de diseño para el acceso a equipamientos urbanos y al transporte público en ciudades mexicanas
Authors: Pérez Tania , López Sandra , Martínez Ana María , Janka Laura , Aguirre Paola , Tafoya Yetzi
Published: July 2022

En México, la construcción del entorno urbano ha estado dominado por criterios carreteros que priorizan la eficiencia vehicular y de velocidades. Es crucial cambiar el paradigma de la calle como un medio de flujos, hacia la calle como el espacio público que es eje central de la vida urbana, y espacio de la construcción y del ejercicio de la ciudadanía. Entender la calle como espacio donde también hay vías ciclistas, banquetas, plazas públicas y arbolado lleva a considerarla como un elemento integrador para el acceso a bienes y servicios, y que permite la movilidad a nivel local y regional. De esta manera, contar con entornos urbanos caminables favorece la accesibilidad a los equipamientos y a la ciudad.
THE NEED FOR STANDARDIZATION IN JOINT EXAMINATION TECHNIQUES FOR FOLLOWING-UP OF PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Authors: Medina Yimy F.
Published: July 2022

Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by joint inflammation and pain on physical examination, which leads to joint destruction, limitation of movement, functionality, quality of life and increased risk of death. To determine activity or monitor rheumatoid arthritis, a physical examination of the joints is required, which is evaluated by examining each joint. However, joint exploration is not standardized and its technique is variable and not very reproducible. Furthermore, there is disagreement among the joint examiners.

Engaging with the intersection of the self and the environment in the wide array of well-chosen performances it analyses, Petra Kuppers’ Eco Soma: Pain and Joy in Speculative Performance Encounters substantiallyinvites a rethinking of material enmeshmentsembodied in the self that is marked by various agencies—be they geographical, historical, or cultural. Her argument insists on paying attention to performances not as generically embodied and somatic experiences but as tied to specific concerns and struggles. This is where we recognize our true selves embodied in eco somatic relationality. Eco somais a threshold between inclusion andexclusion. This is how new sensations and new formations emerge with shifting time while witnessing and participating at the same time. The founding recognition of minoritized communities in somatic and eco somatic performancesopens a spacefor various works relating minorities to environmental justice.
Histopathology of Spiroplasma penaei Systemic Infection in Experimentally Infected Pacific White Shrimp, Penaeus vannamei
Authors: Heres Allan , Redman Rita , Lightner Donald V.
Published: July 2022

Penaeus vannamei shrimp were challenged with a suspension of a pathogenic isolate of Spiroplasma penaei prepared from a 72-h culture. The route of challenge was by intramuscular injection of the bacterial suspension into the third abdominal segment. Lesion development was evaluated in moribund shrimp collected and fixed in Davidson’s fixative 96 h post challenge. The predominant host responses to infection by S. penaei observed by histological examination were the general systemic development of hemocytic nodules (often melanized) and poorly organized hemocytic infiltration. Such lesions were most prevalent in the lymphoid organ, gill filaments, heart, connective tissue, antennal gland, and skeletal muscle. The presence of S. penaei in the lesions was verified by in situ hybridization using a digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled probe specific to the spiralin gene of Spiroplasma spp. Transmission electron micrographs (TEM) showed S. penaei cells free in the cytoplasm of lymphoid organ cells. The cultures of S. penaei used for this study and infected abdominal tissue were verified by PCR using spiroplasma-specific primers that amplify a fragment from a variable region of the 16S rDNA gene sequence.
