Published: July 2022

We examine the extent to which General Practitioners (GPs) have knowledge of the speech language pathology field. This was pilot research where 20 pilots were selected through convenience sampling techniques because it is suitable for both. Another study it was a structured questionnaire-based study for general physicians about awareness regarding Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) domain. This pilot study found mixed results that, All the doctors have an understanding of the speech therapy requirements and no doctor (0%) were in the category of “No to Little Knowledge” Most of these general physicians have enough knowledge about SLPs field, about 60% of the doctors required further updated knowledge and education about the best practice speech therapy requirements/treatment. The general practitioners are merely aware that this specialty indeed exists but still do not know what sort of cases that are dealt with by the professionals of this field. 25% of the doctors classified under the Reasonable knowledge, these doctors have knowledge about all the basic requirement of the speech therapy patient requirements but no referring to Speech-language pathologist. However, the need refresher courses/knowledge to be an expert in the field. 15% of the doctors have expert level knowledge and they have clear concept and requirement of the best practices for the speech therapy treatment. Although they all suggested that a health care provider SLP should perform the main role in health domain collaboration with general physicians. The study results showed that in Pakistan, the medicines curriculum (MBBS) has been updated with any chapter regarding the rehabilitation / habitation of this sort. So, most of the general practitioners are unaware about SLP domain, which is basically the key point that plays a significant role in rehabilitation. So, the researcher suggested Pakistan health council to review the official MBBS curriculum and government sector health ministry to work on this specificity.

Published: July 2022

What motivates girls enrolled in Non-Formal Education (NFE) programs to continue to attend? While scholars have determined the factors resulting in dropouts from formal education programs, few have researched non-formal education programs. Our study hopes to fill the gap in the literature by asking, are there substantial pull factors that dictate continued enrollment for students? If so, what are these factors? To answer these questions, we conducted 30 semi-structured interviews in NFE centers located in five districts of the Balochistan province of Pakistan. Our findings indicate that most girls enrolled in the program have limited educational backgrounds, and students are interested in joining NFE programs because of an innate desire to learn. Some significant pull factors such as their teachers’ abilities and access to free education in a nearby facility guarantee continued attendance. An interesting finding of our research is that the social values of household and community members did not pose a barrier to educational instruction for most girls

Authors: Aisha Majeed, Natasha Memon
Published: July 2022

The present study investigates the effectiveness of task-based language teaching’s (henceforth referred to as TBLT) effectiveness on speaking skills’ development (grammatical competence) and improving the fluency of ESL grade VIII (13-14) students in a private school of Karachi, Pakistan. The study used a quasi-experiment with a single intact group of 32 female students. The data for this study was gathered using pre-and post-tests which were analyzed statistically by comparing mean scores received by the paired sample t-test through SPSS. The results showed significant improvement in the speaking skills i.e., grammatical competence (grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation) and fluency in speaking. The results revealed that TBLT is an innovative and effective strategy for teaching speaking skills and fluency to the ESL students as it motivated students and built their confidence. The findings of the study suggest that the English language teachers may opt for the TBLT approach in the classrooms for teaching speaking skills and fluency as it can bring significant improvement in their speaking skills. The study may have implications for curriculum designers as they can consider including this approach in the textbooks so that students can efficiently improve their language skills, be it grammatical or speaking skills.

Published: July 2022

Technology can provide everlasting advantages in teaching and learning if utilized effectively however, it seems impossible without enhancing teachers’ technological skills. The aim of this study is to analyze the current status of teachers’ use of technology in their pedagogy and to examine teachers’ self-perceptions regarding their technological and pedagogical knowledge using technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) framework. The study was carried out in the context of Shah Abdul Latif University, Khairpur. The quantitative survey method was adopted for current case study to explore self-perceptions of the participants regarding level of understanding for their technological and pedagogical skills. Total 123 Teaching Assistant (TAs) taught in different departments of SALU, Khairpur, holding master degrees in their concerned field were selected purposively. Results revealed that all teaching assistants perceived themselves at high level of understanding in all pedagogical related skills while their self-perceptions displayed that they were at low level of understanding in all technological based domains. In the light of findings, current study recommended that the areas where TAs perceived themselves at low level need to be strengthened through technology trainings, secondly TAs can prepare themselves for technology aligned pedagogical practices to contribute in teaching and learning and administration needs to plan and execute trainings on technological pedagogy specifically using TPACK framework to promote and encourage technological enriched teaching and learning environment.

Published: July 2022

Los defectos refractivos son considerados la segunda causa de discapacidad visual a nivel mundial. Los trastornos de la visión como la miopía se pueden corregir mediante cirugía refractiva, anteojos o lentes de contacto. Se plantea que los cambios en el microbioma ocular provocados por el uso de lentes de contacto están relacionados con el desarrollo de complicaciones e infecciónes. La microbiota ocular puede variar según las condiciones estacionales, la temperatura, la edad, sexo y la exposición ambiental. Se expone el presente estudio para evaluar si la microbiota de los usuarios de lentes de contacto difería de la de quienes no los usaban, según diversos factores. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, no experimental, transversal, en Ambato, Ecuador. La población de estudio estuvo conformada por participantes con edades entre 18 y 59 años. Se cuantificó la diversidad bacteriana por medio de la amplificación del genoma completo, del cual se secuenció la región V3 del gen 16S rRNA de 40 muestras en la plataforma secuenciadora. Se descubrió que el microbioma conjuntival de los usuarios de lentes de contacto no era significativamente diferente del de los NULC y no detectó un aumento significativo de microorganismos patógenos. Los principales taxones bacterianos fueron similares entre los grupos, aunque la abundancia de cada taxón varió dentro de cada grupo. Este tipo de estudios es fundamental para el éxito de la terapia ocular y el manejo de los microorganismos diana de la terapia antimicrobiana.

Authors: SOLMAZ AVCIKURT Ayla , ALTUN Eren , SUNAY Fatma Bahar
Published: July 2022

Objective: Chemokines are factors secreted from damaged or infected tissues to induce an inflammatory and immunological reaction. Approximately Chemokines have recently been found to be secreted by most cancer cells. The aim of this study is to compare the CCR-3 expression with the clinicopathological variables in patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma(PCa) and benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). Material Method: The study included 25 patients with PCa who underwent prostatectomy, 25 patients with BPH. In the study, CCR-3 expression in PCa and BPH tissues was examined by immunohistochemical method, and CCR-3 expression at PCA and BPH tissues was compared with normal prostate tissue at mRNA level by the Real-Time PCR. Results: CCR-3 expression was found to be significantly higher in PCa patients (p=0,001). There was no relationship between Gleason prognostic grade and periprostatic spread and CCR-3 expression (p=0,887, p=0,279). A statistically significant increase was found in total PSA and CCR-3 expression (p=0,001). Conclusion: In prostate cancer, expression of the CCR3 receptor is associated with the occurrence of aggressive disease with extended local dissemination and a higher risk of biochemical recurrence. According to this study, the CCR-3 expression may be useful in predicting the diagnosis of PCa and there was a significant relationship between total PSA. The Increasing total PSA was also correlation to increased of the CCR3 expression. However, there was no significant relationship between Gleason prognostic grade.
Dejemos atrás el positivismo jurídico
Authors: Atienza Manuel , Ruiz Manero Juan
Published: July 2022

El artículo tiene como fin argumentar que el positivismo jurídico, en sus distintas variantes –excluyente, incluyente y axiológico–, es incapaz de servir como herramienta para dar cuenta y operar dentro de la nueva realidad del Estado constitucional, pese a la importante contribución que hiciera en el pasado para renovar las áreas de la filosofía del derecho y de la dogmática jurídica. Ello, debido a la pretensión del positivismo jurídico de dar a la teoría del derecho un carácter meramente descriptivo, lo que implica la exclusión de la dimensión valorativa de las normas jurídicas, además de su incapacidad para dar cuenta de otros aspectos relevantes del razonamiento jurídico. Por otra parte, el excesivo énfasis en el carácter prescriptivo de la norma jurídica deja de lado su dimensión valorativa y obstaculiza la consideración de un orden jurídico constitucional. Todo ello inhabilita al positivismo para participar en algunos debates centrales hoy en día. En base a la argumentación planteada se concluye que el positivismo jurídico ha agotado ya su ciclo histórico, al no reconocer al derecho como una práctica social compleja.

Post-pandemic Workplace Design and the Plight of Employees with Invisible Disabilities: Is Australian Labour Law and Anti-Discrimination Legislation Equipped to Address New and Emerging Workplace Inequalities?
Authors: Capuano Angelo
Published: July 2022

In 2020 and 2021 the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the way we work. To help contain the virus employees made a mass migration from working in offices to working remotely from home, but this mass shift to working from home is expected to have a lasting impact on workplace design. Post-pandemic workplaces are expected to be increasingly ‘hybrid’ and use shared workspaces to permit worker fluidity between the office and the home. This article argues that shared and fluid working arrangements significantly disadvantage employees with ‘invisible’ disability in various ways, yet the outdated design of Australian labour law and anti-discrimination law is ill-equipped to deal with these new and emerging inequalities in the workplace. This article proposes law reform and policy solutions designed to enhance ‘person-environment fit’ in workplaces, which may help prevent these inequalities from arising in the post-pandemic world of work.
Social Housing, Homelessness and Human Rights
Authors: Walsh Tamara
Published: July 2022

Social housing is reserved for the most vulnerable tenants, yet social housing tenants are subject to the same residential tenancy laws as private tenants and may even be held to a higher standard of behaviour. As a result, social housing tenants are at high risk of eviction. This article reports on the results of a mixed methods study on eviction proceedings involving social housing tenants. The study involved textual analysis of 98 published judgments and focus group research with 43 tenants’ advocates. It was found that the very factors that make someone eligible for social housing in Australia simultaneously put them at risk of eviction. This research suggests that the law provides limited protection against eviction to homelessness. Despite the importance of individuals’ interests in having a home, rights-based arguments are generally ineffective in this context.
The Perpetual Trustee Co Ltd v Smith Priority Paradox: Just How Paramount Are Paramount Interests?
Authors: Spagnolo Lisa , Rodrick Sharon
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this article is to explain and critique how courts have interpreted the paramount interest provisions in Torrens system legislation. The discussion pivots around Perpetual Trustee Co Ltd v Smith (‘Perpetual’), which concerned ‘the interest of a tenant in possession’ in the Transfer of Land Act 1958 (Vic) section 42(2)(e), an exception to indefeasibility recognised in all Australian jurisdictions to varying extents. We analyse the two High Court cases upon which the Court in Perpetual relied and critically compare the ‘two step manner’ in which the Court analysed priority under section 42(2)(e) with the ‘one step manner’ in which priority is dealt with in other exceptions to indefeasibility. Proceeding on the assumption that the interpretation of section 42(2)(e) adopted in Perpetual is correct, we consider whether the judges characterised the parties’ interests correctly and whether Perpetual’s approach to section 42(2)(e) could, and should, be taken to other paramount interests.
The Unusual Place of Industry Codes of Conduct in the Regulatory Framework
Authors: Terry Andrew
Published: July 2022

The comment of Commissioner Hayne in his Final Report of the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry – that ‘industry codes … occupy an unusual place in the prescription of generally applicable norms of behaviour’ – was directed to voluntary industry codes. The term is nevertheless used indiscriminately, and industry codes inhabit each regulatory strategy – self-regulation, quasi-regulation, co-regulation and explicit government regulation. The term ‘industry code of conduct’ is not a term of art with a settled meaning and is widely used as a convenient term to describe a diverse range of industry rules –from aspirational ethical statements of industry associations with no effective coverage, content or enforcement, to legislated prescriptions in various forms which are imposed by, and attract, the full majesty of the law. This article examines the role, operation, and legal effect of industry codes under each of the regulatory strategies and proposes a more rigorous taxonomy.

Vetor força: argumentos para alinhamento entre aulas de Física e Resistência dos Materiais no Ensino Médio Integrado
Authors: Cardoso Costa Rodrigo
Published: July 2022

Na abrangência nacional, o documento Projeto Político Curricular do curso de Técnico em Mecânico Integrado ao Ensino Médio apresenta uniformidade entre os cursos ofertados. Dentre as correlações interdisciplinares, destacamos o caso das disciplinas de Física e Resistência dos Materiais em torno do conteúdo escolar vetor força. A falta de domínio desse conteúdo escolar torna-se crítico na aprendizagem de conteúdos sobre Resistência dos Materiais, pois as atividades dessa disciplina exigem dos alunos, desde o início, entendimento abstrato de situações-problemas, muitas vezes hipotéticas, via estudo da decomposição vetorial do sistema proposto. Neste manuscrito temos intenção de mostrar argumentos que explicitam essa criticidade, como forma de chamar atenção para um possível problema escolar de relevância nacional quanto ao desalinhamento interdisciplinar no âmbito do EMI. Para tanto, nossa pesquisa seguiu metodologia da revisão bibliográfica devido à melhor adequação quanto aos nossos objetivos. Consideramos que os argumentos apresentados demonstram a presença crítica do vetor força para área mecânica, desde o Ensino Médio, na disciplina de Resistência dos Materiais. A compreensão dessa criticidade pode tornar a abordagem interdisciplinar mais eficiente, com vistas para aprendizagem com significado.
Constelação familiar sistêmica: a pseudociência nos tribunais brasileiros
Authors: Ribeiro Marcelo Costa , Nascimento Antônia Micarla Ferreira do
Published: July 2022

A prática da constelação familiar adotada pelos tribunais brasileiros possui como justificativa principal elementos de apelo emocional, sem um modelo de comprovação científica baseada em evidências que a ela garanta resultados práticos confiáveis. O delineamento metodológico da pesquisa, segundo os objetivos pretendidos, foi de pesquisa exploratória, cujos procedimentos técnicos utilizados foram a revisão bibliográfica e documental. O objetivo geral foi corroborar com entendimentos bibliográficos e documentais que a prática de “constelação familiar sistêmica”, adotada pelos tribunais brasileiros, para resolução de conflitos de toda ordem, não oferece segurança em relação aos resultados, pelo fato de não haver comprovação científica por meio de evidências. Esse objetivo desdobrou-se nos seguintes objetivos específicos: a) demonstrar que os métodos de conciliação ou de mediação trazem resposta esperada na solução dos conflitos que permitem esse tipo de intervenção; e b) apresentar entendimentos que rejeitam a “constelação familiar sistêmica”. A inquietação foi: existe comprovação científica para a prática de “constelação familiar sistêmica” adotada pelo CNJ e seguida pelos tribunais brasileiros? Não existe.

Authors: Chalil Ameena Reema
Published: July 2022

All types of healthcare professionals can develop burnout syndrome (BOS), while those who serve in critical care and emergency units are more susceptible to it. The emergence of BOS is linked to an imbalance between a team member's personal traits and problems at work or with other organisational elements. BOS is linked to a number of negative effects, including as higher rates of employee turnover, lower patient satisfaction, and lower levels of care quality. BOS also has a direct impact on the mental and physical health of the many physicians and other healthcare workers that work in emergency and critical care settings around the world. Critical care medical professionals and other psychological illnesses went mostly undetected until recently. The current paper examines the burnout prevalence among doctors in critical care (CC) unit and emergency unit physicians, the risk factors (RF) of burnout and their consequences, prevention and treatment measures of BOS and intensive and non-ICU healthcare workers' burnout prevalence comparison were also studied. It finally concludes from the study that the physicians from the Critical Care Unit and emergency department unit are more stressed and prone to high burnout levels than others.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the world's third leading cause of death, accounting for 3.23 million deaths in 20191. It is the second major cause of death in India and affects an estimated 53 million people 1. BODE INDEX is multivariable grading system that estimates severity of respiratory and systemic components of COPD patients and was designed to predict quality of life in COPD patients. The four variables BMI (B), FEV1% predicted (O), Dyspnoea (D) as measured by MMRC, Exercise capacity (E) as measured by the six-minute–walk test. In stable COPD patients desaturation upon exertion is a major factor which can be used as a predictor of QOL (quality of life) , future exacerbations, severity  of the disease etc. The current study is focussed upon estimation of COPD prevalence by clinical severity stages as measured by BODE index and the correlation between exercise induced desaturation and various quartiles of  BODE INDEX in stable COPD patients.
Development of a multi-group neutron noise simulator for fast reactors
Authors: Tran Hoai Nam
Published: July 2022

The paper presents the development of a neutron noise simulator for fast reactors based on diffusion theory with multi-energy groups. The noise sources are modelled via small stationary fluctuations of macroscopic cross sections, and the induced first order noise is solved fully in the frequency domain. The tool is expected to be applicable for monitoring of fast reactor cores and also for other reactor types with hexagonal fuel assemblies. Some numerical calculations of the neutron noise induced by localized perturbations in a sodium-cooled fast reactor are demonstrated.

From evaluated data sources like ENDF, JENDL and JEFF, neutronics data libraries forMCNP computer code have been produced, including neutron scattering cross section library S (β,α) in thermal energy range, by using NJOY computer code. The evaluation and validation of these neutronics data libraries have been carried out through calculation of some parameters such as effective multiplication factor and reaction cross sections of benchmark problems, VVR-M2 fuel type as well as the critical configurations of the Dalat Nuclear Research Reactor loaded with low enriched Uranium fuel. After implementing about analysis and evaluation of the calculated results with abovementioned libraries, the library provides results that consistent with experimental data can be used in core and fuel management calculation for the Dalat Nuclear Research Reactor (DNRR).

Degradation of chitosan in swollen state with hydrogen peroxide solution (5% w/v) by γ-irradiation was investigated. Molecular weight (Mw) of irradiated chitosan was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and ultraviolet-visible (UVvis) spectrawere analyzed to study the structure changes of degraded chitosan. The results showed that the chitosan of low Mw ~30-45 kDawas efficiently prepared by γ-irradiation of chitosan swollen in hydrogen peroxide solution at low dose less than 20kGy. The main structure as well as the degree of deacetylation of the degraded chitosan was almost no significant change. Furthermore, the radiationdegradation yield (Gs) was remarkably enhanced by the presence of H2O2. The obtained low Mw chitosan revealed high antimicrobial activity for E. colithat can be used for food preservation and other purposes as well.

After reviewing the trace metals (Sn, W, Mo)-bearing granitoid deposits in the world, theauthors recognized that some deposits in Sweden (e.g. Nozzboten, Vasterbotten, Hotagen, Bergslagen, Bohus, Gosthenburg, Gotemar, Blekinge) contain not only trace metals (Sn, W, Mo), but also F, Li, U,Th, etc… which are similar to the Phia Oac granitoids. The correlation chart with the T. Carlsson (1982)’s criteria helps to determine the uranium-bearing granitoids. Initially, we constructed some correlation charts of granitoid fields in Northern Vietnam and concluded that some granitoid fields certainly related to uranium are Phia Oac, Xom Giau, Phu Sa Phin, and some granitoid fields possibly related to uranium are Ye Yen Sun, Muong Lat, Ban Chieng, and Song Chay (based on data from the Geology of Vietnam, Part II, Magma Section). This issue needs to be further studied.

In this study, we have tested the possibility of parallel measurement of radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn or Tn) by alpha track detectors at the extraction and processing of black sands that contains high content of Zircon and Monazite minerals in a coastal area of the Ha Tinh province. A pair of cylindrical cups RADUET, designed to separately measure Rn and Tn with CR-39 detectors (Radosys Company Ltd – Hungary), were used for the test. The results showed that concentrations of indoor Rn and Tn in the black sand extraction area are not high (28 ± 6 Bq/m3 for Rn, 14 ± 5 Bq/m3 for Tn). The Rn and Tn concentrations in the indoor air of the titanium processing plant are 34 ± 6 Bq/m3 for Rn, 58 ± 11 Bq/m3 for Tn, and are higher than those concentrations in the residential houses outside the plant (20 ± 4 Bq/m3 for Rn, 16 ± 8 Bq/m3 for Tn) but still comparable to the average concentrations of indoor Rn and Tn reported by the UNSCEAR 2006. At Zircon processing plant, indoor Rn concentrations are similar to those in the titanium processing plant but Tn concentrations in the houses for separating Rutile and Zircon are very high. Indoor Tn concentration is especially high in the house for separating Zircon where it could reach 2931 Bq/m3, hundred times higher than that in the surrounding residential houses and that of the world average published by UNSCEAR 2006.

Published: July 2022

The purpose of this research is to offer a technique for assessing user experience in mobile applications utilizing AIAM technology. Due to ineffective and time-consuming nature of conventional data gathering techniques (such as user interviews and user inference), AIAM concentrates on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assess and enhance user experience. Logs from a mobile application may be used to gather information about user activity. Only a few parameters of data are utilized in the process of surfing and running mobile applications to ensure the privacy of users. The method's objective is to create the deep neural network prototype as close as feasible to a user's experience when using a mobile app. For particular objectives, we create and employ application interfaces to train computational models. The click data from all users participating in a certain task is shown on these projected pages. User activity may therefore be mapped in connected and hidden layers of the system. Finally, the social communications application is used to test the efficacy of the suggested method by implementing the improved design.
