The Congruence of Teaching Styles Used by Turkish Physical Education Teachers with National Curriculum’ Goals and Learning Outcomes
Authors: YANIK Mehmet , BALCI Tarık , GOKTAS Zekeriya
Published: August 2023

This study was carried out to determine the congruence of the teaching styles used by Turkish physical education teachers in their lessons with the goals and learning outcomes of the curriculum they are responsible for taking into consideration. The case study design was used and eight physical education teachers serving in middle and high school grades in the central districts of a metropolitan city were involved in this study. In the study, a semi-structured interview form prepared by the authors was used to reveal which teaching styles physical education teachers prefer in their lessons, the reasons for their preference, and the congruence between the teaching styles they use in their lessons and the goals and learning outcomes of the curriculum. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The results of the study indicated that physical education teachers generally preferred reproduction cluster teaching styles to vary extents and mostly used the practice style. Effective skill learning and effective time management were found to be the most mentioned reasons for teachers to prefer the practice and the command styles more in their lessons. The study additionally revealed that when selecting teaching styles for their lessons, physical education teachers did not take into consideration the goals and learning outcomes of the curriculum. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended that professional development programs be designed to enhance the curriculum literacy of physical education teachers and to inform them of the teaching styles that are aligned with certain goals and learning outcomes.

Published: August 2023

The global severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic contributed to the development of a large variety of vaccines, of which postvaccinal hyperacute encephalopathy is a very rare complication. Despite its rarity, if diagnosed properly, appropriate treatment can be rapidly applied. A healthy 53-year-old woman was admitted for a seizure on the day she received the second dose of the BNT 162b2 nCoV-19 vaccine. She subsequently developed irritability, which gradually worsened over several days. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed mild pleocytosis and normal protein levels. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed diffuse sulcal hyperintensity on the entire brain surface on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images with meningeal enhancement. The patient was diagnosed with hyperacute postvaccinal encephalopathy and received immunosuppressive therapy with corticosteroids and therapeutic plasmapheresis. Fortunately, the patient responded to therapy, achieving almost complete recovery from the neurological symptoms, with only mild memory impairment remaining after 3 weeks. Based on the clinical presentation, electroencephalogram findings, and MRI, our patient developed hyperacute encephalopathy within 24 hours of vaccine administration, which we surmised from the temporal course of symptoms and brain imaging findings. Further studies are required to elucidate the pathogenesis of coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination-related encephalopathy.
A new algorithm to find prime numbers with less memory requirements
Authors: Bufalo Daniele , Bufalo Michele , Orlando Giuseppe , Tetta Raffaele
Published: August 2023

In this paper, we suggest a new approach to find any prime numbers up to a given n ∈ ℕ*. The proposed procedure does not work like a sieve and is easy to implement as it only uses assignments and subtractions which lead to improvements in memory requirements and upgradeable runtime performance. This is because, also, the algorithm suits well parallel computing. These results aim to solve several problems affecting those routines based on sieve methods, especially when large numbers are considered.

Authors: Schafhauzer Luciana Muniz Bezerra , Silva Cleomacio Miguel da
Published: August 2023

A inclusão da pessoa com deficiência visual no mercado de trabalho vem ganhando espaço e quebrando barreiras ao longo do tempo. Independente do grau, ter deficiência visual é uma característica da pessoa e não condiciona sua competência. O acesso à educação inclusiva é parte fundamental para que as competências se sobreponham às limitações da parte funcional. Por meio do trabalho, a pessoa com deficiência visual, além de afirmar-se como ser produtivo, realiza-se pessoalmente e profissionalmente. É preciso reconhecer e aproveitar os ganhos da Gestão da Diversidade nas organizações, somando características e tipos de visões. Incluir as pessoas com deficiência visual no início de qualquer projeto é agregar pontos de vistas diferentes e aprender com as diferenças. A presente revisão da literatura buscou unir os temas pessoa com deficiência visual com trabalho, tecnologia e barreiras, analisando elementos para fortalecer uma cultura inclusiva. Como conclusão verificou-se que, pensar em inclusão e acessibilidade nas organizações é um caminho sem volta, agrega benefícios às equipes e colabora para o desenvolvimento de uma sociedade justa e igualitária.

Published: August 2023

This research aims to ascertain the effect of oral administration of a aqueous fruit extract of Raphia Hookeri on selected immune parameters in male wistar rats. The fruits were obtained from Emoh community in Abua/Odual L.GA, Rivers State, A total of 28 apparently healthy male rats weighing between 137-190g were divided into four groups, 7 rats in each group. Group 1 served as the control were given feed and water, group 2 given 500mg/kg, group 3 given 1000mg/kg, group 4 given 2000mg/kg of the extract for 28 days and blood samples collected. Laboratory test done and statistical analysisexpressed as mean± SEM using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS version 24).The result for IgA when compared the treated groups and control, there was slight variation in values but the result is not significant at P<0.05, there were marginal variation in IgE, when compared the treated groups with the control, the result showed no significant difference, there was a significant decrease in group 2 for IgM, also a slight variation in group 3 and 4 when compared with the control not statistically significant at P<0.05.Very plausible to state that there is no proportional effect of the aqueous extract on Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Immunoglobulin E (IgE). There was a significant decrease in Immunoglobulin in (IgM) level noticed in group2 and no significant difference in groups 3 and 4.The findings of the study has proven that prolonged consumption of Raphia Hookeri fruit extract boost immunity via immunoglobulins in male wistar rats.

Futurists and ‘Homogenizers’ in Early Soviet Sound Film
Authors: Bulgakowa Oksana
Published: August 2023

This chapter discusses a theoretical concept by Nikolai Anoshchenko, who attempted to reframe cinematic speech by approaching it not as a verbal but as a sonic phenomenon. The semantic power of sound was supposed to become greater than that of dialogue or monologue – an idea that shows a close relation to the sound poetry of Russian Futurists. The idea of mobilizing the phonosemantics of sound was only partly put in practice but the first few projects of the Moscow and Leningrad studios offer especially interesting case studies in this regard. These films suggest a homogenization technique that affects both voice and noise and share similar strategies of manipulating acoustic phenomena.

Interpretación reductiva del anarquismo en la Arquitectónica de la politica de la liberación dusseliana
Authors: Ochoa Gómez J. Alfredo
Published: August 2023

Anarchism warned many years ahead of the crisis of real socialism in 1989 about the misunderstandings of  marxism, so it’s worth asking What is the reason for Dussel  to ignore such enormous historical evidence? By  the way,  not only perceptive marxists like Gramsci, Rosa  Luxemburg  or the postmodern Laclau pointed out the  inconsistencies of standard marxism and real socialism,  others, such as Malatesta and Kropotkin, also proposed  categories to build a new order, the latter, suggests some  theoretical considerations that seem to have inspired  Dussel in the criticisms he raises to politics as an exercise  of domination, to metaphysical economism and  individualism of the same line, and regarding his defense  of a political claim to justice in accordance with  fundamental principles, of co- determination of material  (economic) and formal (political) spheres to overcome  economism and politicism and, above all, of a new  ontologicalpolitical order whose fundamental body must  be Life.

Teaching Online during Covid-19 crisis:  Lived Experience of Faculty Members of Nepali Business Schools
Authors: Shrestha Arjun Kumar , Tamrakar Bhawana
Published: August 2023

COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the teaching-learning activities of almost all universities across the globe. To continue the teaching-learning activities, most of the universities switched to online mode of teaching. Using hermeneutic phenomenological methodology, this study explored the lived experiences of the faculty members of business schools who began teaching online during this pandemic. The data were collected through conversational interviews with seven faculty members who were teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in various business schools in Nepal. The analysis of data revealed six themes: (1) Faculty members were caught off guard, (2) Sneaking a peek by students, (3) Building a bridge by the faculty members, (4) Faculty members were holding on the past, (5) Students were dragging their feet, and (6) Faculty members were trying to climb a mountain without a rope. The findings suggest that the faculty members felt that they were not prepared to teach online and did not receive enough logistical support from their institutions. They also showed their skepticism regarding the effectiveness of online teaching. The implications of the study have been highlighted and some of the limitations have been indicated.
Virtual/Blended Delivery and the Future of Learning: A Reflection From Practice
Authors: Poudyal Chandra Sharma
Published: August 2023

This paper analyses teaching and learning practices in two diverse national contexts using reflection from experience. As an educator, I have experienced diverse teaching and learning contexts at different stages of my teaching journey. This diverse context experience, which ranges from my learning as a student in the traditional classroom environment in Nepal in the late 70s and early 80s with changing context of education delivery in early 2000 as an educator, and finally to the modern classroom environment with the virtual mode of delivery in the New Zealand tertiary sector, has encouraged me to reflect on my professional practice. I am using Mitra’s conceptual framework of the school in the cloud in my reflexivity. Sugata Mitra, through his school in the cloud concept, encourages disrupting the traditional system of education that acknowledges teachers as the core of knowledge. Instead, Mitra suggested that computer and the internet could act as a medium of knowledge without the active involvement of teachers. In this paper, I analyse and discuss how Mitra’s concept of self-organised learning could be applied to the future of learning in the 21st century.

Criminal subculture through the eyes of an ethologist
Authors: Пономарев С.Б.
Published: August 2023

Статья посвящена рассмотрению криминальной субкультуры с позиции философско-антропологического течения – этологии человека. Показано, что законы этологии проявляются в поведении осужденных, приверженных тюремной субкультуре. Отображена роль генетических исследований при этологическом анализе тюремной субкультуры. Проведен сравнительно-системный анализ роли этологической составляющей в формировании индивидуального криминального поведения и роли этологического фактора в тюремном кастообразовании. Показано сходство моделей кастообразования в коллективах осужденных и в среде представителей животного мира. Сделан вывод о необходимости применения законов этологии при разработке стратегии противодействия тюремной субкультуре.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the criminal subculture from the standpoint of the philosophical and anthropological trend - human ethology. It is shown that the laws of ethology are manifested in the behavior of convicts who are committed to the prison subculture. The role of genetic research in the ethological analysis of the prison subculture is shown. A comparative systemic analysis of the role of the ethological component in the formation of individual criminal behavior and the role of the ethological factor in prison caste formation has been carried out. The similarity of models of caste formation in the collectives of convicts and among representatives of the animal world is shown. It is concluded that it is necessary to apply the laws of ethology when developing a strategy to counter the prison subculture.
Shortages of Care and Medical Devices Affecting the Pediatric Patient Population
Authors: Jones Sarah , Walter Melissa
Published: August 2023

What Is the Issue?

Shortage events, the phenomena when demand exceeds supply, can affect both medical care and medical devices. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a global shortage event, the consequences of which are still being experienced beyond the peak of the pandemic (e.g., the lack of pediatric pain medication available in fall 2022).
Children are vulnerable to shortage events as they represent a small proportion of the overall population, have distinct needs, and the pediatric medical device market has historically offered a lack of options.

What Are the Technologies?

Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled devices, point of care testing, and virtual care options could contribute to alleviating shortages in pediatric care.
Technologies such as 3D printing, alternative interventions such as tracheostomy during shortages of mechanical ventilators, and the reprocessing of single use devices such as ventilator tubes have been suggested in times of pediatric medical device shortages.
Solutions to shortage events can take the form of novel devices, interventions, or policies; however, due to the complexity of this problem, a multipronged approach is likely needed.

What Is the Potential Impact?

Shortages can cause delayed intervention, which has health and financial costs. When cancer diagnoses and treatments are delayed, overall survival rates decrease. High-quality early intervention can change a child’s developmental trajectory and improve outcomes for children, families, and communities.
Finding solutions to shortages, particularly for children as they are already at risk for health inequities, is crucial to ensure good health care outcomes in the long-term.

What Else Should We Know?

During a shortage event, alternative interventions may have different safety profiles or require different training than default practices.
Equity should be a consideration when implementing technologies, interventions, and policies to address shortage events so that these solutions do not end up replicating or exacerbating existing inequities.
Increased accuracy and precision in igneous and detrital zircon geochronology using CA-LA-ICPMS
Authors: Donaghy Erin Elizabeth , Eddy Michael P. , Moreno Federico , Ibañez-Mejia Mauricio
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Detrital zircon geochronology by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a widely-used tool for determining maximum depositional ages, sediment provenance, and reconstructing sediment routing pathways. Although the accuracy and precision of U-Pb geochronology measurements has improved over the past two decades, Pb-loss continues to impact the ability to resolve zircon age populations by biasing affected zircon toward younger apparent ages. Chemical abrasion (CA) has been shown to reduce or eliminate the effects of Pb-loss in zircon U-Pb geochronology, but has yet to be widely applied to large-n detrital zircon analyses. Here, we assess the efficacy of the chemical abrasion treatment on zircon prior to analysis by LA-ICP-MS and discuss the advantages and limitations of this technique in relation to detrital zircon geochronology. We show that i) CA does not systematically bias LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dates for thirteen reference materials that span a wide variety of crystallization dates and U concentrations; ii) CA-LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon geochronology can reduce, or eliminate, Pb-loss in samples that have experienced significant radiation damage; and iii) bulk CA prior to detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology by LA-ICP-MS improves the resolution of Neoproterozoic to present zircon age populations and the percentage of concordant analyses in Mesoproterozoic and older age populations. The selective dissolution of zircon that has experienced high degrees of radiation damage suggests that some detrital zircon age populations could be destroyed or have their abundance significantly modified during this process. However, we did not identify this potential effect in either of the detrital zircon samples that were analyzed as part of this study. We conclude that pre-treatment of detrital zircon by bulk CA may be useful for applications that require increased resolution of detrital zircon populations.
Enabling control co-design of the next generation of wind power plants
Authors: Stanley Andrew P. J. , Bay Christopher J. , Fleming Paul
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Layout design and wake steering through wind plant control are important and complex components in the design and operation of modern wind power plants. They are currently optimized separately, but with more and more computational and experimental studies demonstrating the gains possible through wake steering, there is a growing need from industry and regulating bodies to combine the layout and control optimization in a co-design process.
However, combining these two optimization problems is currently infeasible due to the excessive number of design variables and large solution space.
In this article, we present a method that enables the coupled optimization of wind power plant layout and wake steering with no additional computational expense than a traditional layout optimization.
We developed a geometric relationship between wind turbines to find an approximate optimal yaw angle, bypassing the need for either a nested or coupled wind plant control optimization.
It also provides a significant and immediate improvement to wind power plant design by enabling the co-design of turbine layout and yaw control for wake steering. A small co-designed plant shown in this article produces 0.8 % more energy than its sequentially designed counterpart.
This additional energy production comes with no additional infrastructure, turbine hardware, or control software; it is simply the outcome of optimizing the turbine layout and yaw control together, resulting in millions of dollars of additional revenue for the wind power plants of the future.

However, with the development of NLP tools, businesses are considering automated chatbot solutions to keep up with the increasing demand for their products and services. In view of this, the chatbot was developed using AIML java interpreter library Program AB which helps match input and output predefined in the AIML file. AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language) was used to preprocess and train the bot using ready-made AIML file for FAQ questions. Also, vaadin was used to build a web UI to interact with the trained AIML bot. Finally, a google script was written to translate from any language to English for the bot to understand and send the response in the preferred language of the user. Findings showed that the response time of the bot is dependent of the network, as the design gave a score of 70%, 80%, 90% and 90% for load testing, stability, reliability testing and usability testing, respectively. Also, the bot is compatible with different operating systems, both for forward compatibility and backward compatibility having a score of 95%. The bot was able to answer customer questions, enquiries and complaints and the response time of the bot depends on the strength of the network since it is web based. Hence, the system provided a simple, cheaper, and durable customer financial and payment application service. Since chatbots cannot answer all questions, businesses that decide to implement them should ensure that they have enough protections in place against attacks and that routine requests are standardised to ensure optimal performance.

Development of green tires by using silica and silane in tread compounds has emerged as a key technology in the tire industry. One of the most important features of a green tire is its low rolling resistance; however, agreement between other performances of a tire, such as wet grip and wear, along with rolling resistance of tread compounds, is a serious challenge. Properties of tire tread compounds are very sensitive to the silanization of silica and the loading of primary and secondary fillers. This work investigates simultaneous effects of silanization of silica as the primary filler and loading of carbon black as the secondary filler. By performing dynamic-mechanical testing in strain sweep and mechanical testing of tire tread compounds, the degree of silanization of silica and loading of carbon black were tuned to make agreement between friction, abrasion, and rolling resistance of green tire tread compounds. Morphology of the filler, kinetics of vulcanization, and bound rubber content in the tread compounds were used to explain the findings. Other than dynamic-mechanical analyses to predict final performance of tread compounds, direct measurements of friction, abrasion, and rolling resistance of tread compounds showed a 43% increase in the coefficient of friction on wet concrete, a 47% increase in abrasion resistance, and a rolling resistance coefficient of approximately 6.5 by using 10 parts per hundred of rubber (phr) of bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide and 10 phr of carbon black N330 as the secondary filler.

This research paper presents the combined effect of recycled coarse aggregates and marble dust on the flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete. Use of the waste materials in concrete leads to sustainable development; and is the need of the day. Recycled aggregates were processed from demolishing waste and ensured by sieve analysis for well-graded concrete. Marble dust was used as cement replacement from 2.5% to 10% in increments of 2.5%. Recycled aggregates were used in equal dosage with conventional aggregates. A total of five batches of beams and cubes were cast using normal mix concrete. The curing of the specimens was done for 28 days. Ultrasonic pulse velocity testing was done to evaluate the modulus of elasticity. The same was also evaluated using an empirical equation of ACI and from the literature. A comparison of the results shows that both UPV testing and numerical equation by ACI can comfortably be used for evaluation of the modulus of elasticity of recycled aggregate concrete. Beams were tested under central point load for flexure. Comparison of flexural strength and deflection with control concrete shows that a 5% dosage of marble dust as cement replacement along with 50% replacement of conventional coarse aggregates with coarse aggregates from demolishing waste is optimum as with this replacement level residual flexural strength is 88% and the deflection is only 5% more than control concrete and less compared to the maximum approximate deflection allowed by ACI-31.

Published: August 2023

Use of demolishing waste in new concrete to develop green concrete has proved the need of the day with respect to the preservation of the environment from negative effects and natural sources of the aggregates. This research work presents laboratory investigations on the effect of different water-cement ratios on the workability and compressive strength of concrete made with 50% replacement of natural coarse aggregates with coarse aggregates from demolishing waste. Basic properties: water absorption, specific gravity, and abrasion resistance of both types of aggregates were assessed. A total of eight mixes were designed with water-cement ratios from 0.45 to 0.75 with an increment of 0.05. One mix with 100% conventional aggregates was designed and considered as a control mix to equate the results. A slump test was done to check the workability of all blends. Followed by casting, curing for 28 days, and testing of specimens for compressive strength were done. Test results show that a higher water-cement ratio increases the workability of the concrete but the compressive strength reduces. Assessment of the obtained results with those of the control mix shows a 70% improvement in slump values and 6.7% reduction in compressive strength with water cement ratio equal to 0.55 in comparison to the control mix made with water cement ratio equal to 0.45.

In Nigeria, several governments have embarked on a number of social investment programs aimed at poverty reduction, job and wealth creation, economic growth, and positive social development. However, the extent of the impacts of these programs on the beneficiaries’ economic empowerment and entrepreneurship development is not yet ascertained in many parts of the country. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the extent of the impact present administration’s social investment program (N-SIP) towards beneficiaries’ economic empowerment and entrepreneurship development in Nigeria. This study's population comprised a total of 10,267 beneficiaries of the program from nine selected local government areas in Bauchi state. However, a total of 630 beneficiaries were chosen using a proportionate random sampling technique to serve as the sample of the study. Structured questionnaire forms on the impact of social investment programs on entrepreneurship development were used as the instrument for data collection in the study. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, and a t-test was used to test the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The results of the study revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between N-SIP and beneficiaries’ economic empowerment. Furthermore, the results showed a significant relationship between N-SIP and entrepreneurship development in the country. These imply that social investment programs have significantly impacted the beneficiaries economically and also helped in the development of entrepreneurship in the country. This study provides valuable insights to numerous stakeholders in the area of social investment and entrepreneurship development. Finally, future directions of the study are also provided.

Published: August 2023

Türkiye’nin ilk kadın diplomatı unvanına sahip olan Adile Ayda, akademik dünya içinde genel olarak edebiyatçı yönü ve yazdığı eserlerle tanınmaktadır. Babası Sadri Maksudi Arsal’ın Türkiye’ye gelmeden önce Avrupa’nın farklı ülkelerinde yaşamış olması Adile Ayda’nın akademik birikimi ve siyaset vizyonu üzerinde oldukça etkili olmuş, Türkiye’de lise eğitimini tamamladıktan sonra kendisi 1932 yılında Dışişleri Bakanlığı’nın sınavını kazanmıştır. Ancak kendi ifadesiyle “kadın olması nedeniyle karşılaştığı bazı engeller nedeniyle” diplomasi dünyasından uzak kalan Adile Ayda uzunca bir süre Türkiye üniversitelerinde akademisyenlik yaptıktan sonra 1958’de tekrar diplomatlık mesleğine dönmüştür. 1958 yılı, Türk diplomasi tarihi açısından önemli bir dönüşüm yılı olmuş ve kadın diplomatlar yurt dışı görevlere atanmaya başlamışlardır. Bunun üzerine Adile Ayda önce 1958 yılında Birleşmiş Milletler Genel Kurulu’na delege olarak, ardından Lahey ve Belgrat Büyükelçiliklerine müsteşar olarak görevlendirilmiştir. 1976-1978 yılları arasında Cumhuriyet Senatörü olarak da kamu göreviyle görevlendirilen Adile Ayda, sadece yaptığı önemli tarih çalışmalarıyla değil aynı zamanda Türkiye’yi yurt dışında temsil etmesiyle de Türk diplomasi tarihi açısından özel bir yere sahip olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk diplomasisindeki bu önemli değişimin Adile Ayda’nın şahsında nasıl somutlaştığını tarihi belgeler, kendisiyle teması bulunan akademisyen ve diplomatların eserleri, hayatta olan yakınlarının verdikleri röportajlar ve yaptıkları konuşmalar ile kendine ait eserlerin ışığında incelemektir. Adile Ayda’nın diplomat yönü ve Türk diplomasinin bu önemli dönüşümü üzerine günümüze kadar çok az sayıda akademik çalışma yapıldığı dikkate alındığında, bu çalışmanın küçük de olsa yapabileceği bilimsel katkı önemli olacaktır.
