Authors: Estrela Pereira Adrian , Konopleva Ekaterina , Alghneimin Jehan , Kasbary Nicole , Mészáros György
Published: June 2023

In the last two decades, the Brazilian music scenario has been marked by an increasingly academic-oriented interest in studying and applying musical knowledge stemming from African-heritage. Institutions and researchers from Salvador city hold an important role in the development and dissemination of this type of knowledge. Accordingly, this article’s general aim is to discuss possible implications of the application of African-based musical knowledge in the study of non-African-based instruments, focusing on the Soteropolitan context. This paper has four specific aims to support the general purpose: 1) To present the Salvador city and the main historical and social elements related to musical contexts; 2) To present some publications which employed African-based musical knowledge for the development of musical competences related to non-African-based musical instruments; 3) To analyze these materials from a music education perspective; and 4) To integrate the examinations with broader social discussions. Pursuing these aims, the current study applies a qualitative document analysis as its methodological approach to acquire the data, examine the materials and develop the knowledge which will support the proposed reflections. Despite the municipal orientation, it is expected that the promotion of a deep understanding of a local phenomenon can influence broader sectors of music education.
From Margo Channing to Margaret Elliot: The Aging Actress, Age Performance, and the Dictates of Aging in Joseph Mankiewicz’s All about Eve and Stuart Heisler’s The Star
Authors: Miquel-Baldellou Marta
Published: June 2023

Bette Davis played the role of an aging actress in different films throughout her career. In Joseph Mankiewicz’s All about Eve (1950), Davis performs one of her most highly acclaimed parts as Margo Channing, a mature actress who must face the decline of her acting career upon the arrival of a younger and ambitious counterpart. Only two years later, in Stuart Heisler’s The Star (1952), Davis once more played the role of an aging actress, Margaret Elliot, who refuses to accept that her career as an actress has come to an end, thus taking a bleaker approach in comparison with Mankiewicz’s film. Bearing in mind the intertextuality existing between both films, since All about Eve and The Star address the figure of the aging actress and are both considered self-referential films insofar as they are films about the film industry, this article will analyse how these two films address the performance of aging on and off screen, as actresses switch roles between acting younger or older in relation to characters that function as mirrors of aging, and how they eventually come to terms with the dictates of aging and their own aging process as women.

Background. Pharmaceuticals have become the aquatic pollutants of growing concern. Caffeine is one of the most widely distributed in the surface waters among them. However, the environmentally relevant models of its effect, which include combined exposures with probable confounding factors, are unknown. Microplastics are a suspected vector that influences caffeine bioavailability. The temperature dependence of response, considering the increase of temperature in surface waters, can also be anticipated. The aim of this study was to analyze the input of caffeine, microplastics and elevated temperature into their combined effect on the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771). Materials and Methods. Molluscs were exposed to caffeine (Caf, 20.0 μg·L−1), microplastics (MP, 1 mg·L−1, 2 μm in size), or elevated temperature (T, 25 °C) in the single and combined (Mix- and MixT-) exposures for 14 days. The concentrations of metallothioneins, metallothioneins-bound zinc, total Zn and Cu concentration in the tissue, total glutathione level, antioxidant (superoxide dismutase) and metabolic (citrate synthase) enzymes activities, acid phosphatase activity as the lysosomal functionality marker were determined. Results and Discussion. The decrease in Zn/Cu concentrations ratio in the soft tissues shared the common response in all exposures, reflecting the metal imbalance as the most sensitive marker. The MP-group was distinguished by the decrease in the levels of total Zn and extra lysosomal acid phosphatase activity, proving injury of Zn transportation and Zn-related enzyme activities. All other exposures (T-, Mix-, MixT-) caused citrate synthase and superoxide dismutase activation. Caf-related groups demonstrated the elevation of the levels of phosphatase lysosomal membrane-linked latency, metallothionein total protein and its apo-form. However, glutathione level was stable in all exposures. Conclusion. These data revealed the adverse effect of MP and shared beneficial effects in the exposures that involved caffeine, which can be explained by the antioxidant activity of this substance. Exposure to elevated temperature partially alleviated the effect of caffeine in the mixture. Thus, the results indicate the importance of multi-stress exposures modeling, which allows the evaluation of environmentally realistic responces of an organism to xenobiotics.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare, difficult to treat benign tumor disease of the respira­tory tract with a progressive course caused by human papillomavirus and most often occurs in the larynx in the form of papillomas. They may be present at any age, but most often between the ages of 1 and 4. They can recur after treatment, undergo malignant transformation, and spread to the vocal cords, trachea, or lungs.

Objective — to present our own observation of the malignant transformation of RRP in a young man of 23 years old, who was diagnosed and treated at the SI «National Institute of Phthisiology and Pulmonology named after F.G. Yanovsky of the NAMS of Ukraine».

Materials and methods. Prior to this non-systematic review, information was searched in MEDLINE/PubMed for systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials published in the past 5 years using such terms as human papillomavirus, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, and malignant transfor­mation.

Results and discussion. Patient H. 23 years old. From the anamnesis, it is known that the diagnosis of RRP was made at the age of 4, since then he regularly noticed the appearance of dry wheezing, shortness of breath, hoarseness, and sometimes its disappearance. Since childhood, the patient has been under the supervision of a pediatric otolaryngologist. The papillomas were localized on the vocal cords. It is known that more than 100 procedures were performed to remove papillomas using electrocoagulation under general anesthesia. For morphological verification of the diagnosis, it was decided to perform a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery of the right lung.Pathological examination findings: «Respiratory papillomatosis with a tendency to malignant transforma­tion». The biopsy material was sent for the immunohistochemical examination. Findings: «G2 Non-keratinizing squamous cell lung carcinoma. There are signs of lymphovascular, perineural invasion, there are signs of pleural invasion, the immunohistochemical study shows that tumor cells are positive for p40, which allows to confirm the diagnosis». After that, the patient was consulted by an oncologist and an immunologist. A 2-component chemotherapy with Carboplatin and Paclitaxel was prescribed.

Conclusions. RRP is a rare disease that can become malignant in case of untimely diagnosis and inadequate screening. Great attention should be paid to complementing of the surgical treatment with vaccination and immunotherapy.

Objective — to study in detail the mechanisms and to investigate the imaging manifestations of combat-related penetrating thoracic injuries.

Materials and methods. To perform the work, a literature search was provided according to the criterion «Thoracic penetrating combat-related trauma». 32 literary sources were selected for this request. Frag­ments of the clinical experience described in the literature according to the selected sources were illustrated by our own clinical cases of patients who were treated in Kharkiv medical institutions in 2022 for penetrating combat-related thoracic injuries.

Results and discussion. Among victims who received chest injuries, polytrauma was most often diagnosed, complicated by several mechanisms of injury associated with penetrating, blunt, and explosive injuries. Pneumothorax and pulmonary contusion were the most common chest injuries. Thoracic injuries, thoracic vascular injuries, and lung ruptures were associated with the highest mortality rates, whereas pulmonary contusions, pneumothorax, and chest wall injuries were associated with relatively lower mortality rates. Chest X-ray is the first-line imaging method during the initial assessment of thoracic trauma in combat and non-combat situations. Such an examination is particularly important in polytrauma situations where multiple fatal injuries can be rapidly diagnosed in order to rapidly triage and include such an injury in the initial evaluation. Tension pneumothorax, large hemothorax, chest fragmentation, and some other lesions can be quickly diagnosed with a portable chest X-ray. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest is an important component of the comprehensive trauma evaluation, which allows to diagnose life-threatening injuries in hemodynamically stable patients with suspected multiple injuries not identified on chest X-ray. Chest CT detects 20 % more pathologies compared to chest X-ray.

Conclusions. Combat-related thoracic trauma continues to be a significant contributor to the mortality rates of those injured in military operations. A clear injury pattern and atypical imaging manifestations of thoracic trauma are important to recognize at an early stage because of the acuteness of this category of patients and the impact of an accurate diagnosis on clinical management. Chest X-ray remains the main diagnostic tool. However, in modern and well-equipped institutions, chest CT, video-assisted thoracoscopy, and ultrasound scanning of the abdominal and chest cavity play an important role in the diagnosis of thoracic trauma. Quick and high-quality diagnosis and treatment are possible only in direct cooperation between surgeons and radiologists.

Published: June 2023

This study evaluated technical efficiency of agroforestry production technology among smallholder farmers in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling technique was adopted. A total sample size of 120 smallholder agroforestry farmers was used. Primary data were collected with the aid of structured and well-designed questionnaire. Analytical tools used were: descriptive statistics, farm budgeting techniques, financial analysis, stochastic production frontier model, and principal component model. About 85% of agroforestry farmers were male, while 15% were female. Also, 87.50% of agroforestry farmers were less than 50 years of age. The mean age was 45 years. Furthermore, 85% of agroforestry farmers had formal education and were literate. The household sizes were large with mean value of 6 members per household. The agroforestry systems practiced include: alley farming, shelterbelts, wind breaks, home gardens, api-silviculture, aqua-forestry, retaining tree on farm land, taungya systems, farmed parkland, and silvo-pasture. The result of the farm budgetary technique show that agroforestry farming was profitable among the smallholder farmers in the study area. The result of the maximum likelihood estimates shows that the significant factors influencing output of agroforestry production technology were: seed input (P<0.05), farm size input (P<0.01), fertilizer input (P<0.10), labour input (P<0.10), and chemical input (P<0.01). The significant factors influencing technical inefficiency of agroforestry production technology were: gender (P<0.10), marital status (P<0.01), education level (P<0.01), experience in agroforestry production (P<0.01) and size of households (P<0.10). The average technical efficiency score obtained by the smallholder agroforestry farmers was 40.18%. The constraints facing agroforestry farmers include: lack of training and capacity building, inadequate extension officers, lack of improved seeds, lack of credit facilities, lack of fertilizers, and lack of agroforestry tree seedlings. The study recommends that agroforestry tree seedlings should be made available to farmers, credit facilities should be provided for easy access to agroforestry production technologies, extension officers should be employed, and improved seeds, fertilizers should be provided for increased productivity.

The Determination of a Verifiable Medical Research Paradigm
Authors: Ola Paul
Published: June 2023

Consistent models are crucial to engaging patients with treatment that terminate disease processes in recovery and we responded by developing a verifiable medical research paradigm which predicts the results that experimental models must yield if medicine will understand the mechanisms underlying disease phenomena. We found that the accelerated deterioration and organ damage in the suffering and dying is due to the recruitment of destructive cells into the blood in cancer and that, by avoiding this cancerous contribution to the blood, the aging die peacefully from the slow deterioration and frailty due to disease processes at very old age while remaining very mentally clear even in the face of malignant tumors, somatic mutations and other factors that are associated with this suffering. And medicine’s path to preventing the deaths that follow such suffering as well as the frailty that denies the aging the opportunity to reach the limit of life in spite of such exceptional mental clarity was elucidated. .

This research is motivated by cases that have occurred in this modern era, namely the payment of zakat via transfers by charity organization. This research is a quantitative research, this research method uses maudhu'i (thematic) interpretation by examining several commentary books including the interpretation of Ibn Katsir, and the interpretation of Al-Muyassar. The results of this study indicate that paying zakat via transfer according to Islamic law is valid, because basically every Muslim must withdraw part of his wealth to pay zakat and via transfer is an alternative to pay zakat. Allah said “Take zakat from some of their assets, with that zakat you clean and purify them and pray for them. Truly your prayers (become) peace of mind for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.” (QS. Attaubah : 103)

Bank interest is a contemporary study whose status is always a problem in the Islamic study of the Islam. On a single bank the number of sub-districts are miscarriage with the Riba criteria, but on the other hand of the Bank's presence is very necessary to improve the economy of Muslims where generally still under the line of wealth if in the same time in the rate of economic growth in general. In this study found that the bank's interest issue became a thing that was still in question. Flower banks are an achievement to be given by creditors on debtors, and the amount is associated to the occasion and the lending time. Bankeepers are also binding and forcing. And basically the law of the bank's interest is called Riba. But in the pragmatic view of usury is different from the bank's interest. Because in the bank interest there is no element of additional profit or sponsoring limits. During the advantage of the loan results by using banking transactions there is no element, it can not be said to be usury. The paragmatic view is very different from the conservative view, in this sight of the same as the bank's interest. Because in it there is an element of additions. Any banking transaction activity in which there is the element, it can be said to be usury, both the addition is a bit or many. This research is a qualitative research that focuses on literature studies.

CBX2 is a differentially expressed gene in brain metastatic human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: June 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that chromobox 2, encoded by CBX2, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. CBX2 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of CBX2 in primary tumors was correlated with patient distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of CBX2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
A theory of stochastic fluvial landscape evolution
Authors: Roberts Gareth , Wani Omar
Published: June 2023

Geometries of eroding landscapes contain important information about geologic, climatic, biotic and geomorphic processes. They are also characterised by variability, which makes disentangling their origins challenging. Observations and physical models of fluvial processes, which set the pace of erosion on most continents, emphasise complexity and variability. In contrast, the spectral content of longitudinal river profiles and similarity of geometries at scales $\gtrsim100$ km highlight relatively simple emergent properties. A general challenge then, addressed in this manuscript, is development of a theory of landscape evolution that embraces such scale-dependent insights. We do so by incorporating randomness and probability into a theory of fluvial erosion. First, we explore the use of stochastic differential equations of the Langevin type, and the Fokker-Planck equation, for predicting migration of erosional fronts. Second, analytical approaches incorporating distributions of driving forces, critical thresholds and associated proxies are developed. Finally, a linear programming approach is introduced, that, at its core, treats evolution of longitudinal profiles as a Markovian stochastic problem. The theory is developed essentially from first principles and incorporates physics governing fluvial erosion. We explore predictions of this theory, including the natural growth of discontinuities and scale-dependent evolution, including local complexity and emergent simplicity.

Published: June 2023

This paper explores the application and impact of Virtual Reality (VR) in facilitating the development of fundamental skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Over a period involving 36 intensive sessions, a VR application was used in a controlled and distraction-free environment. Our observations revealed a significant increase in children's interest in lessons, parental involvement, as well as improvements in essential skills, such as visual tracking, pointing accuracy, reading line retention, and overall concentration. Notably, there was a marked enhancement in children's attention span and perseverance during tasks, crucial abilities often challenging for these children. These findings suggest the substantial potential of VR in supportive and educational settings for children with ASD and other neurodevelopmental disorders. However, the need for ongoing research and development to optimize the use of VR in these contexts was also highlighted.
When anxiety grows with knowledge: the role of the natural number bias
Authors: Van Hoof Jo , Halme Hilma , Hannula-Sormunen Minna , McMullen Jake
Published: June 2023

Background: An important source for the difficulties that students face with comprehending fractions is the natural number bias (NNB). The NNB refers to the phenomenon of applying natural number properties in fraction tasks, even when this is inappropriate (e.g., 1/4 +1/3 = 2/7). Recently, it was shown cross-sectionally that the NNB may affect students’ state anxiety responses on a fraction arithmetic task (i.e., anxiety experienced during a fraction arithmetic task). Aim: The current longitudinal study examines, for the first time, the role of the natural number bias in the longitudinal development of fraction state anxiety. Sample: In total, 334 fifth and sixth graders were included in the study. Specific attention was given to two subgroups of learners, low performers with and without an NNB.Methods: Students’ fraction arithmetic performance and fraction state anxiety were measured in the beginning and end of the same school year.Results: The findings reveal that, in students with a clear NNB, a decrease in NNB answers (sign of overcoming the NNB misconception) co-occurred with an increase in fraction state anxiety.Conclusions: The present study concludes that a better understanding of a mathematical topic does not necessarily lead to a decrease in mathematics anxiety experienced while solving a task within the same topic. The present study has the implication that in mathematics anxiety research, especially in intervention studies, the qualitative different profiles of students should be taken into account. Special attention should be given to misconceptions, as increases in anxiety may occur while overcoming a misconception.
Unreliable Heterogeneity: How Measurement Error Obscures Heterogeneity in Meta-analyses in Psychology
Authors: Olsson-Collentine Anton , Bakker Marjan , Wicherts Jelte M.
Published: June 2023

Measurement error (imperfect reliability) is present in any empirical effect size estimate and systematically attenuates observed effect sizes compared to true underlying effect sizes. Yet there exist broad concerns that proper measurement tends to be neglected in much of psychological research. We examined how measurement error in primary studies affects meta-analytic heterogeneity estimates using Monte-Carlo simulations. Our results indicate that although measurement error in primary studies can both inflate and suppress heterogeneity, under most circumstances measurement error in primary studies leads to a severe underestimate of heterogeneity in meta-analysis. Our simulations showed expected heterogeneity to be underestimated by about 15% - 60% when considering a typical effect size around r = 0.2 and true heterogeneity levels that are common in the meta-analytic literature (τ>0.1, in Pearson’s r). The underestimate primarily depends on average reliability in primary studies (higher reliability leads to a smaller underestimate), but also worsens with smaller primary study sample sizes. We observed a positive bias in heterogeneity estimates due to measurement error only under specific and arguably uncommon circumstances of (1) actual zero heterogeneity, particularly when mean effect sizes are large, or (2) combinations of very small true heterogeneity, large variance in primary study reliabilities, large mean effect sizes, and a limited number of primary studies. Severe underestimates of heterogeneity due to measurement error may affect many meta-analyses in psychology and obscure true differences between studies that could be relevant for theory, practice, and future research efforts. Research on concrete guidance to applied meta-analysts is needed, as sophisticated methods for correcting measurement unreliability such as meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) are only applicable in exceptional cases and corrections based on classical test theory come with caveats and strong assumptions.
“I’m Moderna; What Are You?” Evidence that People Favor Those Who Received Their Same Brand COVID-19 Vaccine
Authors: Meese William , Howell Jennifer Lee
Published: June 2023

In two studies, we investigated the extent to which people are biased toward people with the same COVID-19 vaccine brand using a monetary allocation task. Informed by theoretical approaches to intergroup bias and the minimal-groups paradigm, we expected that, when deciding how to allocate financial resources among three different people—each with an equal need for assistance but a different COVID-19 vaccine brand—people would allocate more money, on average, to those who received the same versus different vaccine brand than participants personally received. We found in Study 1 (N = 94) that people given a hypothetical $10.00 experimental endowment allocated an average of $2.00 more when a person was a member of their vaccine ingroup than to those from their vaccine brand outgroup. We replicated this effect in Study 2 (N = 219), finding that people continued to allocate more money ($1.42) to a person from their vaccine brand ingroup versus those from their vaccine brand outgroup. Taken together, this work suggests that, among vaccinated people, the brand of another person’s vaccine meaningfully influences the allocation of monetary resources and that people are biased toward people with the same COVID-19 vaccine brand. Implications for social identity theories are discussed.
Developing Dataset Management of Speech Recognition Based Automatic English-Speaking Skill Testing System
Authors: Muhammad Aliv Faizal
Published: June 2023

Speech recognition technology has been widely used to aid English language testing, such as for pronunciation and speaking practice for various use cases including job interview simulation. We developed an app, powered by speech recognition technology and regex text processing, that automatically score participants’ speaking performance. However, this application lacks dataset management for the speaking test maker to manage the indicators of accepted answers. A feature to effectively manage the dataset and efficiently ease the speaking test creation is needed. This paper presents the development of dataset management feature to support the speech recognition based automatic English-speaking skill testing system. All elements that support the feature in development were tested through Blackbox testing with various scenarios. The elements were proven to work as intended to support the existing system. The new feature has brought efficiency for the English-speaking test maker.

Increased public awareness of the importance of the availability of healthy agricultural products, including vegetables, must be supported by cultivation techniques and innovations. Cultivation of mustard greens so far still relies on the use of inorganic fertilizers as an effort to increase crop productivity. The continuous and excessive use of inorganic fertilizers not only has a negative impact on the environment but also health due to the presence of residues of hazardous materials that can be stored in plant tissues. The use of compost as a substitute for fertilizer sources in the cultivation of mustard greens is expected to reduce the negative impacts both on the environment and health. This study aimed to determine the possibility of using compost as a substitute for fertilizer in mustard green cultivation. The research is based on a Completely Randomized Design consisting of five treatments with four replications. The fertilization treatment consisted of: P1:1.4 g Urea+0.9 g SP-36+0.7 g KCl, P2:1.1 g Urea+0.7 g SP-36+0.6 g KCl+ 9 g compost, P3:0.8 g Urea+0.5 g SP-36+0.5 g KCl+18 g compost, P4:0.5 g Urea+0.3 g SP 36+0.4 g KCl +27 g compost, P5:0.2 g Urea+0.1 g SP 36+0.3 g KCl+36 g compost. The data obtained were analyzed using variance and if there were significant differences between the treatments, it was continued with the HSD test at the 5% level. The results showed that compost as a substitute for fertilizer could be applied in the cultivation of mustard greens. The addition of compost as much as 27 g/plant (3 tons/Ha) besides increasing growth is also able to increase the fresh weight of green mustard by 45,6%.

INNOVATIONS IN THE STANDARDS OF THE NEW UKRAINIAN SCHOOL

Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the new standards of education in Ukraine and their influence on the modern Ukrainian school. The article examines the conceptual differences between the State Standards of the New Ukrainian School and the former standards. It is shown that the most significant differences can be grouped into four groups: a holistic vision of a childʼs progress in education from 1st to 12th grade; taking into account the age characteristics of the childʼs development; implementation of the competence approach in the educational process; providing academic freedom to teachers and educational institutions. State standards of comprehensive general secondary education correspond to the basic principles of the concept of the New Ukrainian School and reflect global trends and innovations in the development of educational systems. Further research may be related to the study of the effectiveness of the implementation of new education standards in Ukraine.The real academic freedom of an educational institution is manifested in the fact that the educational program and curriculum, as an integral part of it, is an own product agreed upon by teachers, aimed at meeting the educational needs of students. This is achieved by the fact that the basic curriculum, which is a component of the State Standard, contains three gradations of the number of hours in each educational field: minimum, recommended and maximum. Within these hours, the teacher is able to vary during the creation of the educational institutionʼs own educational program. Of course, most teachers will be guided by model programs, because school textbooks are «tied» to them, but creating your own educational and training programs gives educational institutions and teachers real academic freedom.Summing up, it can be concluded that the new state standards of comprehensive general secondary education, created in accordance with the concept of the New Ukrainian School, reflect the main global trends in the development of educational systems, are based on democratic principles of the organization of the educational process, are aimed at meeting the educational needs of those seeking education, and are able to improve the quality of Ukrainian general secondary education.

Keywords: New Ukrainian school; reform of Ukrainian education; State standard of comprehensive general secondary education; competence approach; key competences; integrated content of education; cross-cutting skills; educational fields.
