Webometrics ranking of Universities: fallacy or reality
Authors: Thuranira Simon , Diki Paul Mutethia
Published: April 2024

In recent years, the utilization of webometrics as a tool for ranking universities has gained significant traction, purportedly offering a comprehensive assessment of institutions' digital presence and impact. However, amidst its growing popularity, questions arise regarding the validity and applicability of webometrics rankings, particularly concerning universities situated in the global south. This paper critically examines the webometrics ranking system, aiming to discern its strengths and weaknesses while scrutinizing its efficacy in evaluating universities, particularly those in regions with diverse socio-economic contexts and digital infrastructures. The analysis begins by delineating the fundamental principles underlying webometrics rankings, highlighting its reliance on web-based indicators such as web presence, visibility, and transparency. While these metrics ostensibly offer insights into universities' global reach and influence, they also engender methodological complexities and biases. Notably, the dominance of older well-endowed institutions in comparison with younger resource-constrained institutions impeding equitable evaluation. Furthermore, the paper investigates the specific challenges faced by universities in the global south within the webometrics framework. Issues of digital divide, limited internet penetration, and disparities in web accessibility compound the difficulties faced by these institutions in attaining favorable rankings. Moreover, the emphasis on quantitative metrics overlooks qualitative aspects of academic excellence, neglecting factors such as research impact, teaching quality, and societal relevance, which are integral to universities' roles in diverse contexts.Through a critical lens, this paper underscores the fallacies inherent in the uncritical adoption of webometrics rankings as a singular measure of university performance. It advocates for a nuanced approach that acknowledges the contextual nuances and challenges faced by universities, particularly in the global south. By fostering a dialogue on the limitations of webometrics and exploring alternative evaluation methodologies, this research aims to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable framework for assessing higher education institutions in an increasingly digitized world.

Authors: Chowdhury Ismael A. , Di Martino Emanuela , Lee Hannah , Windecker Claire C. , Craig Sean
Published: April 2024

Seven species of the cheilostome bryozoan genus Microporella were identified across 15 rocky intertidal sites spanning 940 km of the California coast, from Mill Creek in the Montereyan Pacific Transition Region north to Point Saint George in the Mendocinian Region. Colonies of Microporella were found encrusting boulders and mollusc shells. Among these species, three are new to science, namely Microporella dentata Chowdhury & Di Martino sp. nov., M. pauciperforata Chowdhury & Di Martino sp. nov. and M. rota Chowdhury & Di Martino sp. nov. Three other species, M. californica, M. setiformis, and M. umbonata have previously been recorded from other localities in California. Finally, Microporella neocribroides, originally described from off Kodiak Island, Alaska, and subsequently found in Hokkaido, Japan, was recorded in California for the first time. An additional new species, M. similis Chowdhury & Di Martino sp. nov., was identified through the re-examination of museum material previously attributed to M. cribrosa and M. californica. These newly acquired data allowed for a more comprehensive examination of the distribution of species, intraspecific variability, and potential predator-induced teratologies in certain species, thanks to the availability of numerous colonies from various sites and the re-examination of museum records. Altogether, this study increases the known Recent diversity of Microporella in California’s waters to a total of 18 species.

Concept Of Reward And Punishment And Its Implementation In Education In The Modern Era: Perspectives From The Quran And Hadith
Authors: Soleyadi Muhammad Rois
Published: April 2024

Reward, as a positive stimulus, aims to strengthen desired behavior, while punishment, as a negative response, is directed at reducing undesirable behavior. These concepts reflect the ideas of reward and sin in Islam, with the Quran and Hadith providing guidance. The Quran employs terms such as tsawab and ‘iqaab to depict reward and sin. For example, in Surah Ali Imran verse 148, Allah emphasizes the provision of recompense in the world and good rewards in the Hereafter. In the educational context, rewards are not only material but also non-material, such as praise and recognition. Hadith also offers guidance on the concept of punishment in education. For instance, it indicates that educating a child involves specific stages, with physical punishment as an option when a child reaches the age of ten. Despite the allowance for punishment, affection, and gradual learning remain prioritized. In the context of implementing the concepts of reward and punishment in the modern era, the article notes new challenges in education and changes in perspectives on physical punishment. The article also discusses forms of rewards, such as verbal and non-verbal praise, symbols, enjoyable activities, and respect. Punishment is categorized into three types: associative, logical, and normative, with considerations for balance, context, consistency, psychological awareness, and alternative learning. By referencing Islamic teachings and modern psychological concepts, this article illustrates the importance of implementing reward and punishment wisely in the educational context to achieve character formation goals without compromising the psychological well-being of individuals.

Yoga, one of the non-pharmacological therapies for epilepsy, has been believed to be an adjunctive therapy to reduce seizure frequency and duration in adults with epilepsy. The latest review of some studies on that subject was published earlier in 2017, but this reviewed the old studies that were published more than ten years ago. So, it is necessary to update the review to find out how effective yoga is in controlling seizures for epilepsy. This review is made to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga in controlling seizures in adult and children with epilepsy We performed two randomized controlled trial studies selected from PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus, according to eligibility criteria through PRISMA Flowchart steps. In the intervention group, yoga shows effects that could reduce the frequency and duration of seizures compared to the control group with sham yoga treatment or without any additional treatment. Unfortunately, the detailed characteristics of the participants and the intervention (frequency and duration of yoga) in each study are heterogeneous. A multicentre and well-randomized study that recruits a sufficient number of patients, uses appropriate research methods, and defines explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria is proposed to be conducted. It also will be essential to help reinforce the evidence of yoga's effectiveness as adjunctive therapy in controlling or reducing the frequency and duration of seizures in epilepsy.

Hannam-Gwonbeon and Gwonbeon’s Sijo during the Imperial Japan’s Forced Occupation Period
Authors:   Korean Society of Gyobang and Culture, Kang Ji Hye
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the establishment process of Hannam-Gwonbeon during the imperial Japan’s forced occupation period and Sijo (formal poetry) works that introduced Hannam-Gwonbeon, and to analyze their content and meaning. The main characteristic of Gisaeng (female entertainers) during the imperial Japan’s forced occupation period is that they escaped from the status of government-gisaeng. As these changes had a significant impact on the Gisaeng system and Gisaeng activities, before analyzing their works, this study attempted to explore the change process of the Gisaeng system. Based on this, this study attempted to grasp the meaning of Hannam-Gwonbeon by examining Hannam-Gwonbeon’s establishment process and the Sijo’s works that introduced Hannam-Gwonbeon.
During the imperial Japan’s forced occupation period, after the abolition of the government-gisaeng system, as the Gisaeng crackdown decree was implemented, the Gisaeng guild was established to manage these people of Gisaeng. Gisaeng was recognized as one of the occupations that make a living from dancing and singing. In a capitalist society, Gisaeng’s various activities became a means of making money.
Hannam-Gwonbeon were a Gwonbeon, the majority of whom were from Namdo (southern Jeolla province). Although its size was smaller than other Gwonbeon guilds, their Namdo Sori gained popularity as a special talent, and they used that advantage as a competitive advantage. These characteristics of Hannam-Gwonbeon also appear in their Sijo works. ‘Wolgyehwa (laurel flowers; 月桂花)’ and ‘Nambangjigang (南方之强)’ would mean their effort and sincerity, and at the same time, they mean those Gisaeng (Gwonbeon) with outstanding skills from Namdo. Through this, it can be seen that Hannam-Gwonbeon’s unwavering momentum and hope for eternity.
These Gisaeng of Hannam-Gwonbeon learned their skills with constant effort and sincerity amidst the changes of the times and sought to be recognized for their technical-artistic abilities through performances. For these Gisaeng, technical-artistic crafts were not simply a means to make money, but a means to prove their worth as artists with tradition and expertise. Therefore, Gisaeng during the imperial Japan’s forced occupation period should not be recognized only as a sexual object, but there is a need to re-identify as artists who continued the tradition and passed it on to future generations.

This study aims to analyze the nature of chemical content, analyze abrasion value and optimum asphalt content using local Kinang Jingkion as road pavement material. In this study, XRF and XRD testing methods were used to determine the chemical content of Kinang Jingkion local material, then testing the characteristics of rough aggregate to determine the abrasion value, testing fine aggregate characteristics, and testing asphalt pen 60/70 and marshall test to determine the optimum asphalt content (KAO). The tests obtained the results of comparative data analysis between laboratory tests and literature standards that meet the eligibility requirements. The results showed that: First, the results of XRF and XRD analysis on Wilihingke samples, 0.15 mm granules, 2.36 mm granules, and Kinang Holuwon found that all chemical elements contained in the four samples were solid metal inorganic chemical elements. The results of this analysis prove that the four samples, which are fine aggregates and coarse aggregates, do not contain organic substances. Where the results of this analysis are by the requirements of aggregates which are one of the components in the concrete mixture, where the aggregates used must meet certain conditions, one of which must not contain excess organic matter because it can undergo decay by bacteria using dissolved oxygen; Second, from the test results obtained, the aggregate wear value (abrasion) was 32.69%; Third, based on the test results, the value of the Marshall parameter with Optimum Asphalt Content (KAO) obtained a value of 6.125%.

Galaxies are big. Our own Milky Way contains about fifty billion solar masses of stars, and another ten billion of interstellar gas, roughly speaking. The average star is maybe half a solar mass, so crudely speaking, that’s one hundred billion stars. Give or take. For comparison, the population of the Earth has not quite reached eight billion humans.
Hypothesis testing with gas rich galaxies

This Thanksgiving, I’d highlight something positive. Recently, Bob Sanders wrote a paper pointing out that gas rich galaxies are strong tests of MOND. The usual fit parameter, the stellar mass-to-light ratio, is effectively negligible when gas dominates. The MOND prediction follows straight from the gas distribution, for which there is no equivalent freedom.
Galaxy Formation – a few basics

Galaxies are gravitationally bound condensations of stars and gas in a mostly empty, expanding universe. The tens of billions of solar masses of baryonic material that comprise the stars and gas of the Milky Way now reside mostly within a radius of 20 kpc. At the average density of the universe, the equivalent mass fills a spherical volume with a comoving radius a bit in excess of 1 Mpc.

The fine-tuning problem encountered by dark matter models that I talked about last time is generic. The knee-jerk reaction of most workers seems to be “let’s build a more sophisticated model.” That’s reasonable – if there is any hope of recovery. The attitude is that dark matter has to be right so something has to work out. This fails to even contemplate the existential challenge that the fine-tuning problem imposes.

There is a rule of thumb in scientific publication that if a title is posed a question, the answer is no. It sucks being so far ahead of the field that I get to watch people repeat the mistakes I made (or almost made) and warned against long ago. There have been persistent claims of deviations of one sort or another from the Baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR). So far, these have all been obviously wrong, for reasons we’ve discussed before.

Cosmology is challenged at present by two apparently unrelated problems: the apparent formation of large galaxies at unexpectedly high redshift observed by JWST, and the tension between the value of the Hubble constant obtained by traditional methods and that found in multi-parameter fits to the acoustic power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Maybe they’re not unrelated?

I’ve spent more time trying to do this in terms of dark matter than pretty much anything else, but I have not published most of those efforts. As I related briefly in this review, that’s because most of the models I’ve considered are obviously wrong.

A common refrain I hear is that MOND works well in galaxies, but not in clusters of galaxies.

Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is a hyperglycaemic syndrome that results from the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells. To achieve good metabolic control, for which we have an excellent technological tool, continuous interstitial glucose monitoring (CGM), which should be used in all pediatric patients from diagnosis. Positive results of delay in the diagnosis of DM1 and lengthening of the remission phase have been obtained with the use of monoclonal antibodies. Without a doubt, the greatest current advances in the treatment of DM1 come from the use of technology, together with regulated/structured and continued diabetes education, this being a fundamental piece to improve control, adherence to treatment and quality. of patient’s lives [1,2] . Despite all the advances in general, the objectives advocated by international societies for this age (American Diabetes Association [ADA], International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes [ISPAD]) have not been achieved, leading to the search for other systems that lead to greater adherence to treatment.

Indicadores de salud mental de los niños con trastorno del espectro autista durante la pandemia por COVID-19: una revisión de alcance
Authors: Carhuancho-Amaya Rhut J. , Lopez-Chavez Lily , Gálvez-Arévalo Ricardo A.
Published: April 2024

Introducción: La pandemia de COVID-19 ha planteado desafíos de adaptación para los niños con el trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) debido a la interrupción de rutinas y servicios de salud y educativos.

Objetivo: La revisión de alcance tiene como objetivo examinar e integrar la literatura sobre los indicadores de salud mental de los niños con TEA durante la pandemia de COVID-19, centrándose en aspectos emocionales, sociales, conductuales y cognitivos.

Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de estudios en PubMed, Google Scholar, PsycINFO, ScienceDirect y Cochrane Central entre enero y febrero de 2024.

Resultados: Se identificaron 25 estudios que exploraban diversos aspectos de los indicadores de salud mental en niños con TEA durante la pandemia. Solo tres de estos estudios desarrollaron una metodología que permitía evaluar los cambios pre y post pandemia mediante la creación de cohortes preestablecidas de seguimiento antes del brote. Aunque algunos de los estudios indicaron estabilidad o mejoras en los indicadores de salud mental, se identificaron varios factores que podrían empeorar los síntomas en estos niños como el estrés en los cuidadores, el bajo ingreso económico y la interrupción de terapias presenciales.

Conclusión: Los resultados de los estudios revisados no son concluyentes debido a limitaciones metodológicas en los diseños de investigación. Los hallazgos sugieren la necesidad de desarrollar enfoques metodológicos más sólidos y consistentes para evaluar el impacto de eventos estresantes como la pandemia de COVID-19 en la salud mental de los niños con TEA, con énfasis en la creación de cohortes de seguimiento a largo plazo que permitan una comprensión más completa de los efectos a lo largo del tiempo.

Published: April 2024

Los tumores en cavidad oral en edad pediátrica suelen corresponder a la persistencia o alteración en la formación embrionaria. Frecuentemente son neoplasias benignas y asintomáticas, que se presentan clínicamente como aumento de volumen de las partes blandas a nivel del piso de la boca que pueden incluso protruir a través de la región submentoniana.  Cuando tienen volúmenes considerables puede llegar a ocasionar una limitación en la deglución, habla o respiración. Presentamos el caso de seis pacientes en edad pediátrica con tiempo de enfermedad de hasta 8 años, caracterizados por una tumoración a nivel submentoniana, no visible ni palpable por la cavidad oral, completamente asintomática.  Todos fueron sometidos a una intervención quirúrgica. Con una recuperación rápida, sin complicaciones, y presentando un  resultado estético y funcional adecuado, los pacientes han reingresado a sus actividades sociales sin mostrar inconvenientes. Posterior a un año de seguimiento, no se evidenció la presencia de recidivas.
Calidad de atención de enfermería en emergencias pediátricas de un hospital público: perspectiva de los padres

En los últimos años, se ha incrementado el uso de los servicios de emergencia. Esto demanda tener mejores estándares de calidad en la atención. Para lograrlo, resulta necesario contar con personal de salud altamente calificado, equipamiento biomédico esencial, materiales médicos desechables y los fármacos necesarios para responder a la demanda asistencial (1,2). La calidad asistencial engloba todas las estrategias enfocadas a la excelencia y la satisfacción del usuario, siendo el cuidado de enfermería fundamental para alcanzar tales estándares. Sin embargo, la sobrecarga de tareas del personal sanitario pone en evidencia las limitaciones para satisfacer las necesidades de los pacientes. Estas limitaciones se traducen en la dilación de los tiempos de espera, la merma de la calidad del trato recibido y la percepción de los padres de una atención deficitaria. Para poder evaluar la calidad asistencial, es necesario considerar la estructural, el proceso y los resultados resultados (3–7). La enfermería pediátrica tiene como función atender las necesidades físicas y emocionales de los niños y adolescentes, facilitando el cumplimiento de las necesidades no solo en el contexto individual, sino también comunitario y familiar (8). Por ello, la presente carta tiene por finalidad resaltar la necesidad de optimizar la calidad de atención de los servicios de enfermería brindados a los pacientes pediátricos, permitiendo así a estos profesionales de la salud una comprensión amplia de la problemática actual. Esto posibilitará la generación de iniciativas orientadas hacia la mejora continua, propiciando la plena satisfacción de los usuarios y sus familiares.
