Background and Objectives:

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the commonest inherited neuromuscular disorder and has heterogeneous manifestations. Data regarding genetic basis of CMT from India is limited. This study aims to report the variations by using high throughput sequencing in Indian CMT cohort.

Methods:

Fifty-five probands (M:F 29:26) with suspected inherited neuropathy underwent genetic testing (whole exome: 31, clinical exome: 17 and targeted panel: 7). Their clinical and genetic data were analysed.

Results:

Age at onset ranged from infancy to 54 years. Clinical features included early-onset neuropathy (n=23), skeletal deformities (n=45), impaired vision (n=8), impaired hearing (n=6), facial palsy (n=8), thickened nerves (n=4), impaired cognition (n=5), seizures (n=5), pyramidal signs (n=7), ataxia (n=8) and vocal cord palsy, slow tongue movements and psychosis in one patient each. Twenty-eight patients had demyelinating electrophysiology. Abnormal visual and auditory evoked potentials were noted in 60.60% and 37.5% respectively. Sixty two variants were identified in 37 genes including variants of uncertain significance (n=34) and novel variants (n=45). Eleven patients had additional variations in genes implicated in CMTs/ other neurological disorders. Ten patients did not have variations in neuropathy associated genes, but had variations in genes implicated in other neurological disorders. In seven patients, no variations were detected.

Conclusion:

In this single centre cohort study from India, genetic diagnosis could be established in 87% of patients with inherited neuropathy. The identified spectrum of genetic variations adds to the pool of existing data and provides a platform for validation studies in cell culture or animal model systems.

Published: June 2022

Tuberculosis verrucous cutis (TBVc) is a skin infection caused by M. tuberculosis, characterized by the presence of a solitaire verrucous plaque but may present as a varies of different clinical morphologies on the finger and or feet. The diagnosis is often late because of its mimicking other diseases with different etiology. Bacterial culture examination is negative because there are few pathogens in the lesion. Meanwhile, other diagnostic methods provide lower sensitivity and specificity which add further diagnostic challenges. We presented one case report of TBVc mimicking chromoblastomycosis. A 26-year-old man complain a multiple papule-plaque verrucose on the dorsum of the right foot and extending to all of fingers for 2 years ago. The first lesion appears as a small papule verrucous then progressively to form plaque with curst yellow-red and central healing. Examination of bacterial culture with Ziehl–Neelsen stain and GeneXpert did not find M. tuberculosis but could not rule out the diagnosis of TBVc. The diagnosis was established based on the correlation of clinical manifestations and dermoscopy with histopathological examination. To date, there is no gold standard for TBVc testing. Correlation analysis of clinical manifestations, dermoscopy, and histopathology can be considered to establish the diagnosis of TBVc, especially if the culture is negative and the limitations of polymerase chain reaction tools.

Authors: Marcucci Marcelo , Serrano Rafael Verardi , Campos Luana , Palma Luiz Felipe
Published: June 2022

Many aggressive non-endodontic radiolucent lesions show very similar clinical and radiographical features to periapical lesions of endodontic origin. Since the treatments of endodontic and non-endodontic lesions differ markedly, a precise diagnosis is imperative. Thus, the present study aimed at presenting a clinical case on the diagnosis and management of a Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) lesion mimicking a periapical lesion of endodontic origin. A 51-year-old male patient was referred to a private dental office due to slight pain from the region of tooth 36. Although no sign of prosthetic or endodontic failure was noted, radiographical examination revealed a radiolucent image with poorly defined borders associated with the periapical region of the tooth. Apicoectomy and bone curettage were then performed and, given the clinical and laboratory features, the definitive diagnosis of solitary eosinophilic granuloma was made. The surgical treatment was sufficient for the remission of the symptoms, and recurrence was not observed. Given the current case, dentists should be aware of LCH lesions as they may mimic endodontic periapical pathoses, leading to misdiagnosis and therapeutic complications. Moreover, alveolar bone lesions may be the first or only sign of LCH in many cases.

Authors: Chang Tze-Wei , Lin Kuan-Ting Robin , Tsai Sheng-Tzung , Lee Chien-Hui
Published: June 2022

Objectives:

The influence of chronic liver disease (CLD) on emergent neurosurgical outcomes in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear. CLD is usually associated with coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia, which contribute to a high rebleeding rate and poor prognosis after surgery. This study aimed to confirm the outcomes of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage in patients with CLD after emergent neurosurgery.

Materials and Methods:

We reviewed the medical records of all patients with spontaneous ICH from February 2017 to February 2018 at the Buddhist Tzu Chi Hospital, Hualien, Taiwan. This study was approved by the Review Ethical Committee/Institutional Board Review of Hualien Buddhist Tzu Chi Hospital (IRB111-051-B). Patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, tumors, arteriovenous malformations, and those younger than 18 years were excluded. Duplicate electrode medical records were also removed.

Results:

Among the 117 enrolled patients, 29 had CLD and 88 did not. There were no significant differences in essential characteristics, comorbidities, biochemical profile, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score at admission, or ICH sites. The length of hospital stay (LOS) and length of intensive care unit stay (LOICUS) are significantly longer in the CLD group (LOS: 20.8 vs. 13.5 days, P = 0.012; LOICUS: 11 vs. 5 days, P = 0.007). There was no significant difference in the mortality rate between the groups (31.8% vs. 28.4%, P = 0.655). The Wilcoxon rank-sum test for liver and coagulation profiles between survivors and the deceased revealed significant differences in the international normalized ratio (P = 0.02), including low platelet counts (P = 0.03) between survivors and the deceased. A multivariate analysis of mortality found that every 1 mL increase in ICH at admission increased the mortality rate by 3.9%, and every reduction in GCS at admission increased the mortality rate by 30.7%. In our subgroup analysis, we found that the length of ICU stay and LOS are significantly longer in patients with CLD who underwent emergent neurosurgery: 17.7 ± 9.9 days versus 7.59 ± 6.68 days, P = 0.002, and 27.1 ± 7.3 days versus 16.36 ± 9.08 days, P = 0.003, respectively.

Conclusions:

From our study’s perspective, emergent neurosurgery is encouraged. However, there were more prolonged ICU and hospital stays. The mortality rate of patients with CLD who underwent emergent neurosurgery was not higher than that of patients without CLD.

Published: June 2022

Fault detection plays an important role in the daily maintenance of power electric system. Big data and knowledge graph (KG) have been proposed by researchers to solve many problems in industrial Internet of Things, which also give lots of potentials in improving the performance of fault detection for electric power systems. In particular, this paper analyzes a distributed knowledge graph framework for fault detection in the electric power systems, where multiple devices train their local detection models used for fault detection assisted with a central server. Each device owns its local data set composed of historical fault information and current device state, which can be used to train a local model for fault detection. To enhance the detection performance, the distributed devices interact with each other in the KG framework, where the devices ought to achieve the regional computation in addition to the model aggregation within a specified latency threshold. Through searching for the vibrant qualities together with determined ability at the devices, we enhance the knowledge graph framework by the optimum variety of energetic devices together with the restriction of latency as well as data transmission. Particularly, two data transmission bandwidth allocation (BA) schemes are developed for the distributed knowledge graph framework, through which scheme I is actually bared after the instantaneous device state information (DSI), and scheme II utilizes particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique along with the statistical DSI. The results of simulation on the examination as well as convergence are lastly demonstrated to show the advantages of the proposed distributed KG framework in the fault detection for the electric power systems.

Published: June 2022

Background: Despite the advances in glioblastoma (GBM) treatment, the average life span of patients is 14 months. Therefore, it is urgent to identity biomarkers of prognosis, treatment response, or development of novel treatment strategies. We previously described the association of high epidermal growth factor-like domain multiple 7 (EGFL7) expression and unfavorable outcome of pilocytic astrocytoma patients. The present study aims to analyze the prognostic potential of EGFL7 in GBM isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype, using immunohistochemistry and in silico approaches.Methods: Spearman’s correlation analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas RNA sequencing data was performed. The genes strongly correlated to EGFL7 expression were submitted to enrichment gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. Additionally, EGFL7 expression was associated with patient overall survival. The expression of EGFL7 was analyzed through immunohistochemistry in 74 GBM IDH-wildtype patients’ samples, and was associated with clinicopathological data and overall survival.Results: In silico analysis found 78 genes strongly correlated to EGFL7 expression. These genes were enriched in 40 biological processes and eight KEGG pathways, including angiogenesis/vasculogenesis, cell adhesion, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase–Akt, Notch, and Rap1 signaling pathways. The immunostaining showed high EGFL7 expression in 39 cases (52.7%). High immunolabelling was significantly associated with low Karnofsky Performance Status and poor overall survival. Cox analysis showed that GBMs IDH-wildtype with high EGFL7 expression presented a higher risk of death compared to low expression (hazard ratio, 1.645; 95% confidence interval, 1.021 to 2.650; p = .041).Conclusions: This study gives insights regarding the genes that are correlated with EGFL7, as well as biological processes and signaling pathways, which should be further investigated in order to elucidate their role in glioblastoma biology.
Vertices of the Harder and Narasimhan polygons and the laws of large numbers
Authors: Grieve Nathan
Published: June 2022

We build on the recent techniques of Codogni and Patakfalvi (2021,Inventiones Mathematicae223, 811–894), which were used to establish theorems about semi-positivity of the Chow Mumford line bundles for families of$\mathrm {K}$-semistable Fano varieties. Here, we apply the Central Limit Theorem to ascertain the asymptotic probabilistic nature of the vertices of theHarder and Narasimhan polygons. As an application of our main result, we use it to establish a filtered vector space analogue of the main technical result of Codogni and Patakfalvi (2021,Inventiones Mathematicae223, 811–894). In doing so, we expand upon the slope stability theory, for filtered vector spaces, that was initiated by Faltings and Wüstholz (1994,Inventiones Mathematicae116, 109–138). One source of inspiration for our abstract study ofHarder and Narasimhan data, which is a concept that we define here, is the lattice reduction methods of Grayson (1984,Commentarii Mathematici Helvetic59, 600–634). Another is the work of Faltings and Wüstholz (1994,Inventiones Mathematicae116, 109–138), and Evertse and Ferretti (2013,Annals of Mathematics177, 513–590), which is within the context of Diophantine approximation for projective varieties.

An application of the well-posedness is a new proof and a generalisation of the long-time behaviour result derived by Mantegazza et al. in 2004. Our study is motivated by an open question proposed in the 2016 survey from Mantegazza et al.: does there exist a unique solution of the motion by curvature of networks with initial datum being a regular network of class

Modeling and simulation of thin sheet folding
Authors: Bartels Sören , Bonito Andrea , Hornung Peter
Published: June 2022

The article addresses the mathematical modeling of the folding of a thin elastic sheet along a prescribed curved arc. A rigorous model reduction from a general hyperelastic material description is carried out under appropriate scaling conditions on the energy and the geometric properties of the folding arc in dependence on the small sheet thickness. The resulting two-dimensional model is a piecewise nonlinear Kirchhoff plate bending model with a continuity condition at the folding arc. A discontinuous Galerkin method and an iterative scheme are devised for the accurate numerical approximation of large deformations.

Published: June 2022

Four experiments were conducted to examine the effect of heat, temperature, pH, and salt concentration on the growth and viability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus using nutrient agar plate cultures. The heating effect was checked at 50 and 80 oC for 0, 10, 20, 30, and 60 min, while temperature effects were examined at 4, 25, 30, 37, and 45 oC. Results showed that P. aeruginosa could grow well at 50 oC for 1 h while only surviving at 80 oC for 10 min. Growths were recorded from 25 oC for all the bacteria tested. No growth was recorded at pH 11 for P. aeruginosa. In contrast, others exhibited growth at all the pH tested except for S. aureus that could not survive pH 3. All organisms could not survive any of the salt concentrations tested. However, some growth was recorded between 5 – 10 % salt for others, with S. aureus showing the highest tolerance to salt. A study of the effect of environmental conditions on the growth and viability of microorganisms is necessary in thr future. These findings provide a more realistic estimation of food safety risks and valuable quantitative data to develop processes for safer food products.

Published: June 2022

The anti-diabetic effects of the plants Spondias mombin, Vernonia amgdalina, Annona murica and Nigella sativum have been reported in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.  This study assessed the liver function status of diabetic rats treated with these plant extracts. 42 rats were randomly divided into seven groups. Groups 1-3 served as the normal control, diabetic control and positive control groups respectively. Groups 4-7 were the Spondias mombin, Vernonia amgdalina, Annona murica and Nigella sativum extracts treated diabetic rats respectively. The liver markers assessed includes serum AST, ALT, ALP, total protein, albumin, bilirubin concentrations. The result showed that treatment with all plant extract resulted in a significant decrease in AST, ALT and ALP concentrations. However, a higher percentage decrease in ALP and ALT levels were observed in the Vernonia amgdalina treated diabetic rats when compared to other extract treated rats while Annona muricata treated rats gave the highest percentage reduction in AST concentration. Also treatment with V.amgdalina and Annona muricata gave the highest percentage reduction in total and conjugated bilirubin. Non-significant change was observed in protein and albumin levels. Histological evaluation revealed that treatment with extracts of Spondias mombin leaves, V. amgdalina leaves, Annona muricata leaves reverted the damage to the liver caused by STZ induction. V.amgdalina and Annona muricata are two plants to consider as powerful hepatoprotective agents.

The Textual-Visual Thematic Analysis: A Framework to Analyze the Conjunction and Interaction of Visual and Textual Data
Authors: Trombeta Gabriela , Cox Susan
Published: June 2022

Visual methods offer an innovative approach to qualitative research through their potential to prompt dialogue, enrich verbal and textual data, and enable participants to communicate about difficult topics. However, the use of visual methods requires that researchers rethink methodological aspects of data generation and analysis, especially when working with participant-generated images. Although there are now many analytical frameworks and guidebooks providing instructions on the analysis of textual and visual materials, detailed descriptions of how these elements are brought together are often missing from research reports, precluding novice and other researchers from understanding how findings were attained. Our aim in this article is to describe and illustrate the Textual-Visual Thematic Analysis (TVTA), a framework we developed to collaboratively analyze the conjunction and interaction of textual and visual data in a photo-elicitation study. Given that the ethical and methodological aspects are deeply entwined, we begin the article by contextualizing the data obtained from the photo-elicitation study and then consider confidentiality and approaches to valuing participants' voices. Next, we share the TVTA framework, its procedural implementation, and insights derived from evolving our data analysis approach. We conclude by offering reflections on the limitations and possibilities for future research.

Published: June 2022

Refractory high-entropy alloys of the Ta-Ti-V-Zr-Al system, in which the V and Ta contents were varied, were investigated. Criteria, based on the thermodynamic parameters of the binary alloys, melting temperatures of the components, geometric and electronic characteristics of atoms, were used to calculate the possible phase-structural state of the alloys; results were compared with experimental data. Microstructural studies showed the presence of a typical dendritic structure in as-cast alloys with an average grain size of 40 μm, which depends on the concentration of the constituent elements. The microhardness of the alloys was theoretically calculated and experimentally investigated. It was found that the microhardness calculation, based on the data of the valence electrons concentration, bulk modulus and shear modulus, allows to estimate satisfactorily the value of microhardness.

Published: June 2022

Various approaches to describe phase transitions in crystalline media are considered: Landau phenomenological approach of second-order phase transitions as well as Kolmogorov’s, Avrami’s and Christian’s theories of crystallization. An analysis of the existing approaches indicates that they do not always adequately describe the experimental results. A qualitative model for describing the dependence of a crystalline substance heat capacity on temperature at a constant volume is proposed in this paper. The model describes the change in the number of particles of a new phase of a crystalline substance at a constant volume and is based on Einstein principle of detailed balance. An expression for metal heat capacity adequately corresponded to Dulong-Petit heat capacity is obtained. A model for describing the dependence of heat capacity on temperature in case of phase transitions is proposed.

La educación e inteligencia emocionales, así como las emociones, están cada vez más integradas en nuestra sociedad y sistemas educativos. Del mismo modo sucede con el aprendizaje significativo a través de actividades cooperativas y el desarrollo de las habilidades socio-afectivas. Esta investigación se preocupa por conocer las emociones, sensaciones y aprendizajes que puede generar una actividad cooperativa de expresión corporal en extensión universitaria (ECEU). Para ello, se administró el cuestionario POMS y diez preguntas abiertas, a los/las participantes del IX Encuentro Interuniversitario de Expresión Corporal que se celebró en Huesca, consiguiendo una muestra de 64 respuestas representada por 31 hombres (48.4%) y 33 mujeres (51.6%). El análisis semántico del discurso generó categorías de palabras que resuenan a emociones con uno/a mismo/a, con el otro, sociales, experienciales y de crecimiento personal; espacio y lugares de interacción (ambiente), vínculo social, y aprendizaje. Todo ello apunta que esta experiencia extra-académica de extensión universitaria, fue enriquecedora a nivel afectivo-conductual, social y cognitivo. Se sugiere fomentar su continuidad por los beneficios observados con las respuestas obtenidas. Se concluye que las actividades ECEU crean un impacto emocional positivo entre los y las participantes y que la riqueza que aporta, además de ser satisfactoria, genera bienestar personal y social. 
Abstract. Education and emotional intelligence, as well as emotions, are increasingly integrated into our society and educational systems. The same happens with meaningful learning through cooperative activities and the development of socio-affective skills. This research is concerned with knowing the emotions, sensations and learning that a cooperative activity of corporal expression in university extension (ECEU) can generate. For this purpose, the POMS questionnaire and ten open questions were administered to the participants of the IX Inter-University Meeting of Corporal Expression held in Huesca, obtaining a sample of 64 responses represented by 31 men (48.4%) and 33, women (51.6%). The semantic analysis of the discourse generated categories of words that resonate with emotions with oneself, with another, social, experiential and personal growth; space and places of interaction (environment), social bond, and learning. All this indicates that this extra-academic experience of university extension was enriching at the affective-behavioral, social and cognitive level. It is suggested to promote its continuity due to the benefits observed with the responses obtained. It is concluded that ECEU activities create a positive emotional impact among participants and that the wealth it brings, in addition to being satisfactory, generates personal and social well-being.
Fuerza vs. pliometría. Efectos en la velocidad lineal y con cambios de dirección en jugadores jóvenes de baloncesto (Resistance vs. Plyometric training. Effects on linear and changes of direction speed in youth basketball players)
Authors: Izquierdo Velasco José María
Published: June 2022

La velocidad es uno de los indicadores clave para el desarrollo atlético del jugador de baloncesto. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar los efectos que tiene en la velocidad un entrenamiento de fuerza (EF) y otro pliométrico (EP) desarrollados durante ocho semanas en jugadores jóvenes de baloncesto. Para ello, 48 jugadores (16,42 ± 1,13 años) se distribuyeron en tres grupos: EF (n = 16), EP (n = 16) y grupo control (GC) (n = 16). Se evaluó la velocidad lineal en 10 y 20 m, así como la velocidad con cambios de dirección con el test Pro-agility shuttle. Tanto el grupo EF como el EP mejoraron significativamente todas las variables de rendimiento (p < 0,05). EF fue el que obtuvo la mejora más relevante en el tiempo parcial de 10 m (8,92 %; ES = 0,65), mientras que el grupo de EP mejoró en mayor medida en el test Pro-agility shuttle (7,58 %; ES = 0,57). Los hallazgos de este estudio sugieren que en ocho semanas a) tanto el entrenamiento de fuerza como el pliométrico pueden mejorar el rendimiento de la velocidad en jugadores jóvenes de baloncesto, y b) un entrenamiento de fuerza puede incidir más en la velocidad lineal y un entrenamiento pliométrico en la velocidad con cambios de dirección.
Abstract. Speed is a key indicator for overall athletic development. The aim of this research was to compare the effects of strength (ST) and plyometric training (PT) for 8 weeks on sprinting speed in youth basketball players. 48 players (16.42 ± 1.13 years) were divided into three groups: ST (n = 16), PT (n = 16) and control group (CG) (n = 16). 10 and 20 m linear sprint, as well as the sprint with change of direction were measured by the Pro-agility shuttle test. Both the strength and plyometric groups significantly improved all performance variables (p < 0.05). The most relevant result in ST was in 10 m split time (8.92 %; ES = 0.65), whereas the PT was in Pro-agility shuttle test (7.58 %; ES = 0.57). The findings of this study suggest that, in eight weeks a) both strength and plyometric training can improve sprinting performance, and b) strength training might well influence on linear speed and plyometric training on speed with change of direction.

Mala ciencia en agencias gubernamentales
Authors: Aguillo Isidro F.
Published: June 2022

Dos de las principales agencias gubernamentales (FECYT y ANECA), claves del sistema español de ciencia y tecnología, desarrollan actividades y generan productos que están soportados por mala ciencia. Se analizan el caso del ranking de revistas FECYT, cuyo indicador compuesto es matemáticamente aberrante, y el informe de editoriales de acceso abierto encargado por ANECA que utiliza criterios incorrectos y describe comportamientos no estándar, que en realidad son comunes en cualquier revista especializada. Aunque apoyados en decisiones políticas legítimas, dichas herramientas son incorrectas técnicamente y pueden causar graves perjuicios a investigadores, revistas e instituciones tanto a corto como a largo plazo.

The study will conclude with a way to develop institutional structures implementing Solow’s conceptualization of inter-generalization that can collaborate peace and increase funds for quality water throughout the Middle East. The study integrates quantitative statistical data and defends the argument that every individual has the right to fresh quality drinking water. The study formulates a hypothesis to gain control, offers visibility into the water industry in the Middle East and delivers reliable information. Identify what the commonalities between different sectors were and where synergies lay in terms of governance paths [1]. Machine learning is exploding as an application of narrow AI, used to comb through vast amounts of data to better develop and market product (Capitol Technology). Cultural transparency will be investigated along with how the government manages reluctance and how they build strong relationships. A focus is on building a network of founder’s challenges facing our world today demonstrate how interconnected we are and how the fates of all people are bound up together the outbreak of a virus overseas can cause profound grief and suffering at home. Energy data will be reported to show key metrics and will be compared to countries in the Middle East and measured in amounts of water consumption and renewable energy. “Questions such as these will be answered by world data”, how water is produced by renewable energy”? Conflict a continent away can create endangers our own security. Economic downturns abroad can mean lost jobs and shuttered businesses in towns across the globe [2]. Global climate change worsening hurricanes in the Gulf, floods in the heartland, and wildfires in the West. Because of global warming areas in the world are becoming scarce of potable water for a variety of reasons. Yet what is sure in the oceans is an infinite source of water that is not dependent on rainfall be used to provide potable water for all these drought-stricken regions.

Pentaksiran bilik darjah merupakan satu proses yang mengukur perkembangan murid secara berterusan. Pentaksiran bilik darjah juga dikatakan sebagai satu pentaksiran yang bersifat holistik, iaitu menilai aspek kognitif, afektif dan psikomotor selaras dengan Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah (KSSR) dan Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan (FPK). Bagi mencapai matlamat KSSR guru memainkan peranan yang penting. Jadi dalam pelaksanaan pentaksiran bilik darjah yang berkesan sikap guru dianggap penting kerana ia membantu meningkatkan pembelajaran murid secara holistik. Oleh itu kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka sikap guru Bahasa Melayu dalam pelaksanaan pentaksiran bilik darjah. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik persampelan bertujuan digunakan dengan menggunakan kaedah temu bual semi struktur. Seramai sembilan (9) orang guru yang mengajar Bahasa Melayu di sekolah rendah di Daerah Manjung, Perak dipilih sebagai responden kajian. Protokol temu bual yang digunakan dalam kajian ini berasaskan Teori taksonomi Bloom (Bloom, 1956) (3 dimensi – kognitif, afektif, tingkah laku) dan Model Kurt Lewin untuk meneroka sikap guru Bahasa Melayu dalam pelaksanaan pentaksiran bilik darjah. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara manual menggunakan analisis tematik. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa guru-guru Bahasa Melayu mempunyai sikap yang positif dalam pelaksanaan pentaksiran bilik darjah. Keseluruhan kajian menekankan bahawa sikap guru yang positif dapat melahirkan murid yang berkebolehan.
