Background and Objectives: Coagulase-negative staphylococci are commensal bacteria inhabiting human. Isolation of these bacteria from healthcare-associated and community infections is increasingly observed with resistance response to many antibiotics. The study aimed to identify the clinical and antimicrobial resistance pattern of coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from various healthcare-associated and community-acquired infections. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Shar Teaching Hospital and San Clinical Laboratory for a period of one year starting from 1st of November 2019.Isolated coagulase-negative staphylococci were collected from various hospitals and clinical laboratories. The isolate species were confirmed by several tests including VITEK® 2. VITEK® 2 systems was also used to determine the susceptibility to different antibiotics including cefoxitin, oxacillin gentamicin, linezolid, and glycopeptide agents’ teicoplanin and vancomycin which were tested also by E-test. Results: Coagulase-negative staphylococci were isolated from urine specimens (23%), followed by blood samples (20%), sterile body fluids (12%), and others. From one hundred isolates, the most common species of coagulase-negative staphylococci were Staphylococcus epidermidis (57%), Staphylococcus haemolyticus (24%), Staphylococcus hominis (8%), and others. The isolates showed high degree of resistance to benzyl penicillin (92%), oxacillin (85%), and cefoxitin (83%). No resistance to linezolid, tigecycline, and glycopeptides was detected. Conclusion: Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus were the main coagulase-negative staphylococci isolates from several healthcare-associated infections such as bloodstream and urinary tract infection. Most of the isolates showed resistance responses to benzyl penicillin, oxacillin, and cefoxitin, while they were susceptible to glycopeptides, linezolid, and tigecycline, but intermediate response to glycopeptide was also observed.

Thanato-topográfia: a halál színterei
Authors: Schreiner Dénes
Published: May 2023

A halál minden tapasztalatunk legvégső határa, ám maga nem válhat tapasztalattá. Az úgynevezett haláltapasztalat nem magának a halálnak a tapasztalata, hanem tulajdonképpen élettapasztalat, hiszen a halálból „visszatérő” mindvégig az életen belül maradt. A szó szoros értelmében véve nincs visszatérés a halálból, melynek birodalma azonban nemcsak az időben helyezhető el, hanem a térben is. A halál és az alvilág így nem egyszerűen időbe vetettségünk felől értelmezhetőek, hanem azon helyek felől, melyek tér- és időbeli életvilágunkban létesülnek. Éppen ezért meg kell vizsgálnunk azon tapasztalatainkat, melyek haláltapasztalatként jelennek meg számunkra az életünkön belül. Fel kell kutatnunk a halál helyeit mindennapi test- és tértapasztalataink között, életidőnk ritmikájában, érzéseink, lelki rezdüléseink statikájában és dinamikájában, magányunkban és társas létünkben. A halál e helyeit thanato-toposzoknak nevezve kísérletet tehetünk egy életünket átszövő thanato-topográfia előzetes felvázolására.

Neuroscience revolutionizes education, provides new methods to understand cognitive development and learning and indirectly evaluates the effectiveness of different pedagogies. Neuroeducation begins by studying how cognitive systems are built on sensory systems by providing a detailed understanding of the causal mechanisms that are linked throughout the student’s holistic development. This type of basic neuroscientific research guides the field of education and pedagogy by exploring the effects in different pedagogical and learning contexts. In the era of the techno-knowledge society, technology is transforming education. Online learning platforms, educational games and mobile apps are just some of the tools used to improve the teaching and learning process. Neuroscience contributes to the development of online education, by identifying the limitations of attention and concentration in learning and the need to adjust the design of digital platforms to address these problems. This research investigates advances in neuroscience and education. That are achieved thanks to the brain imaging techniques available in recent decades, the perspectives about the integration between both disciplines are discussed. Studies show that neuroscience and education offer more than enough accumulated knowledge to contribute substantially to education policies, teacher training and school practice.

Robust Control Method Design for Underactuated Double-Pendulum Overhead Cranes
Authors: Zhang Tianshi
Published: May 2023

Overhead travelling cranes are infrastructure for building construction and their main purpose is to ensure accurate and rapid transport of goods to a given location in the shortest possible time without any residual oscillation. The overhead crane is also a typical underdrive method, which has fewer inputs than the amount being controlled. In some practical applications, uneven weight and f-loads on the hook can lead to load and hook oscillations and the bridge crane can develop the so-called double-pendulum properties. This leads to a high degree of coupling and a high degree of non-linearity between the various state variables of the crane system. The study that follows suggests a new energy-coupled control strategy for an underactuated double-pendulum overhead crane with initial control force constraints. Strong robustness and superior control performance to parameter changes and external disturbances are the proposed controller’s noticeable characteristics. To ensure the smooth start of the trolley, a robust control adds the hyperbolic tangent function to the control procedure. In addition, the stability analysis and stability verification of the control system is given by using the LaSalle’s invariance principle and Lyapunov techniques. The simulation results show that the new energy coupling control method has stability and strong robustness under various conditions such as different rope lengths, load quality, target position and external disturbance when the initial control force decreases.

An Evaluation of Grammar Settings in Textbooks—Take Junior High School English Textbooks Published by FLTRP for Example
Authors: Li Chenxiao
Published: May 2023

Under the background of the new curriculum standard, grammar is still an important part of English basic education, which lays a solid foundation for the improvement of students’ core literacy. Many second language acquisition researchers have proposed that there is a relatively fixed natural route for second foreign language learners, but textbook editors and in-service teachers in China often ignore this sequence. Based on the natural order hypothesis and the input and output hypothesis, it is found in this thesis that English textbooks published by Foreign Language Teaching Research Press for junior high school students do not intend to follow the natural order but maintain a good balance in the design of grammar input-output activities.

As a high school that continues to grow in Dharmasraya, SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Rumbai is a high school located on Jalan Tuanku Kingdom Sungai Rumbai, Sungai Rumbai sub-district, Dharmasraya district, West Sumatra province, with a total of 518 students in the 2020/2021 academic year. This school is still carrying out the conventional learning process, in other words that the teaching and learning process between students and teachers can only be carried out on the condition that there is a meeting between students and teachers in the classroom. If the meeting between students and teachers does not occur, then the learning process will automatically be hampered and the limited time for teaching and learning in the classroom sometimes prevents teachers from providing all learning materials to students. This is a problem for students and teachers who want to convey in detail about the learning. To facilitate the teaching and learning process at SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Rumbai, the author wants to build a web-based electronic learning system, namely an e-learning system using a web-based programming language, PHP, and Mysql database so that students and teachers can connect to each other using the computerized learning system. .

Pandemic covid-19 mempengaruhi berbagai bidang kehidupan manusia dari bidang ekonomi, sosial, pendidikan, lingkungan, kesehatan, bahkan sampai religius. Ini semua bisa dilihat bahwa kita dibatasi beraktifitas yang tujuanya adalah untuk menekan laju penularan. Namun hal seperti ini masih bisa disiasati dengan semua aktifitas dilakukan secara online, misalnya dalam dunia pendidikan yang dahulunya dilakukan secara luring atau tatap muka secara langsung dalam satu ruangan kelas kini berubah menjadi dilakukan secara daring. Masyarakat Desa Kradenanrejo, Kecamatan Kedungping, Kabupaten Lamongan mengalami hal yang sama. Yang pada saat pendemi ini banyak anak-anak yang aktifitas belajarnya dilakukan secara online tanpa adanya tatap muka. Akan tetapi tidak sedikit anak yang menjalankan tugasnya sebagai pelajar dan malah mengunakan kesempatan online ini untuk bermaian game maupun sosial media. Maka dari itu perlunya ada pemantauan dan sosialisasi yang dilakukan untuk masyarakat Desa terhadap pentingnya pendidikan di masa pandemic. Dari itu penulis mengajak masyarakat setempat ikut dalam partisipatoris kegiatan dengan cara mengunakan metode pengabdian PRA (Participatory Rural Apprasional). Penulis menjadi fasilitator bagi masyarakat desa untuk menyusun program belajar Online Bersama (ONSAM). Kegiatan ini dimaksudkan sebagai penunjang proses pembelajaran anak atau peserta didik yang harus melakukan pembelajar online. Maka dari itu selain perlu adanya sosialisasi terhadap masyarakat Desa, juga perlu adanya pelatihan kepada pemuda desa setempat untuk membantu mengajar peserta didik. Harapan dari kegiatan ini adalah anak-anak desa dapat memperoleh pendidikandengan semestinya
