Blended Learning in STEM and Non-STEM Courses: How do Student Performance and Perceptions Compare?
Authors: Owston Ron , York Dennis N , Malhotra Taru , Sitthiworachart Jirarat
Published: September 2020

Examined in this study is the question of whether students in STEM courses perform better and have more positive perceptions than students in non-STEM courses, when both are offered in the blended format. As part of a blended learning initiative, 6 STEM and 8 non-STEM university courses were redesigned using the blended format. Students (n = 318) were surveyed on perceptions of their blended experience and courses grades were compared. Results indicated that STEM students performed significantly higher than non-STEM students; however, STEM students did not perceive their courses as positively as non-STEM students. The conclusion was that focusing blended learning course redesign in STEM fields in higher education may be advantageous, although more research is needed to confirm the findings and to investigate why student perceptions were relatively low for STEM students.

Authors: Shreaves Dana L , Ching Yu-Hui , Uribe-Florez Lida , Trespalacios Jesús
Published: September 2020

This mixed-methods study examined faculty perceptions of online teaching at a mid-sized liberal arts university in order to understand faculty acceptance and participation in online teaching at the university. Seventy-nine participants responded to a survey that collected qualitative and quantitative data. Content analysis examined faculty perceptions of online teaching and identified six themes. An examination of 21 quantitative factors identified 17 factors reported by more than 50% of respondents to influence their decision to teach or not teach online. Study participants perceived online learning as attractive to students but they wanted any online courses carefully regulated, in part because online learning was seen as contrary to their teaching values. Participants were influenced by personal preferences but also the desire for robust faculty resources, and more effective technology and infrastructure. Implications and directions for future research were discussed.

Acne is a chronic inflammation of the pilosebaceous tissue caused by the bacterium Propionibacterium acne (P.acnes) which often experiences antibiotic resistance. Research on the benefits of herbal plants in dealing with acne is still needed, one of which is the use of Knobs flowers (Gomphrena globosa) which is easily found and has potential as an antioxidant and antibacterial. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the extract of the flower knob in inhibiting the growth of P.acnes bacteria. The design of this study was purely experimental with the Kirby-Bauer method using MHA (Mueller Hinton Agar) media. A positive control using clindamycin antibiotics and negative control using aquadest. The treatment group consisted of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% knob methanol extract with 3 replications. Data analysis using One Way ANOVA to find out the average difference between treatment groups. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the higher the concentration of the extract, the greater the inhibitory power as long as the extract had not reached saturated concentration (p <0.05). There is a decrease in the inhibition zone diameter at 100% concentration because it is influenced by the diffusion rate of a compound and other factors.

Published: September 2020

Oxymatrine is one of the most important biologically active compounds and is present in Sophora alopecuroides L. The present investigation focuses on the development of an efficient tissue culture method to induce callus and cell suspension culture of S. alopecuroides by studying the effect of jasmonic acid and nitric oxide on cell suspension culture. Callus induction efficiency is high in axenic leaf explants grown in MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L Kinetin (Kin), 1.0 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The cell suspension culture was developed using the same callus induction medium without agar. The maximum cell number and dry weight of suspension culture were obtained by the 9th day of incubation. The synthesis of oxymatrine is higher in jasmonic acid and nitric oxide (200 µMJA and 50 µMNO) combination (11.91 µg/g) when compared to the non-elicited control (8.3 µg/g) of callus.
Non-Standard Lexemes in Russian Language Periodicals in Belarus: Efficiency vs Effectiveness
Authors: Goregliad Elena N.
Published: September 2020

The problem of studying the language of press in mass media is very important and practically significant. The competition that has developed in recent years on the publishing market, the large-scale offensive of the Internet, and the development of information technologies compel journalists working in periodicals, including Belarusian ones, to seek new forms of attracting reader’s attention and to keep their readers. The ability of the author of the publication to create the necessary level of attraction in communication with the interlocutor-reader depends not only on knowledge of the psychological component of this phenomenon, but also on the effective use of various means of communication, elements of different language levels (in particular, phonetics, graphics, syntax). In Belarusian periodicals published in Russian the potential of using emotionally and expressively colored elements as well as occasional words is growing, including non-standard formation.
Specificity of Censor Overview of Private Periodic Press of Tomsk at the End of the 19th Century
Authors: Zhilyakova Natalia V.
Published: September 2020

Purpose. The aim is to identify the features of censorship of Tomsk private newspapers at the end of the 19th century – in the 1880s, when the city did not yet have a special censor, and its functions were assigned to the chairman of the Tomsk provincial government. The research material is archival files stored in the Russian State Historical Archive and the State Archive of the Tomsk Region, as well as reviews and letters from Siberian Newspaper journalists about the period of their cooperation with the publication.
Results. As a result of studying a document entitled “Note on the difficulties with censoring private periodicals in Tomsk”, which is part of the case “On publishing a Siberian Newspaper in Tomsk” (storage location is the Russian State Historical Archive), stages of preliminary censorship of Tomsk publications, the organization of activities for censoring newspapers was revealed, the conditions in which Tomsk censors worked were described.
The content of the document indicates the absence of a clear organization of interaction between the censor and the newspaper, as the Tomsk censor was not relieved of his duties as chairman of the provincial board. Censorship was carried out to the detriment of the official’s core business, and therefore articles were often passed to the press that were criticized by the Main Press Directorate, local authorities and private individuals.
Conclusion. The study concludes that the absence of a separate censor was a serious obstacle to the further development of journalism in Tomsk.

Climate Change Scenarios and Effects on Snow-Melt Runoff
Authors: Javadinejad Safieh , Dara Rebwar , Jafary Forough
Published: September 2020

Climate change is an important environmental issue, as progression of melting glaciers and snow cover is sensitive to climate alteration. The aim of this research was to model climate alterations forecasts, and to assess potential changes in snow cover and snow-melt runoff under the different climate change scenarios in the case study of the Zayandeh-rud River Basin. Three cluster models for climate change (NorESM1-M, IPSL-CM5A-LR and CSIRO-MK3.6.0) were applied under RCP 8.5, 4.5 and 2.6 scenarios, to examine climate influences on precipitation and temperature in the basin. Temperature and precipitation were determined for all three scenarios for four periods of 2021-2030, 2031-2040, 2041-2050 and 2051-2060. MODIS (MOD10A1) was also applied to examine snow cover using temperature and precipitation data. The relationship between snow-covered area, temperature and precipitation was used to forecast future snow cover. For modeling future snow melt runoff, a hydrologic model of SRM was used including input data of precipitation, temperature and snow cover. The results indicated that all three RCP scenarios lead to an increase in temperature, and reduction in precipitation and snow cover. Investigation in snowmelt runoff throughout the observation period (November 1970 to May 2006) showed that most of annual runoff is derived from snow melting. Maximum snowmelt runoff is generated in winter. The share of melt water in the autumn and spring runoff is estimated at 35 and 53%, respectively. The results of this study can assist water manager in making better decisions for future water supply.
BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC FIELDS ON THE HUMAN HEART A REVIEW OF CURRENT ADVANCES AND PROPOSED MECHANISMS
Authors: Embi Bs Abraham A.
Published: September 2020

The main purpose of this manuscript is to introduce the reader to the present “state of the art” in experimental Low Level Magnetic Fields nerve stimulation approaches to improve chaotic cardiac arrhythmias and muscle contractions. The area addressed in this paper is the transcutaneous application of Low Level Magnetic Fields to a branch of the vagus nerve. Cardiac Arrhythmias such as Atrial Fibrillation, as well as and muscle contractility were reversed by Low Level Transcutaneous Stimulation (LL-TS) of the Auricular Branch of the Vagus Nerve (ABVN). This treatment has been successfully reported in humans as well as in awaken and anesthetized animals such as rodents and dogs. The functional improvement has been attributed to a reversal of cardiac myocytes remodeling (reversal of fibrosis) resulting from experimentally provoking induced rapid heartbeats. The prolonged duration of a tachycardia state induces intracellular accumulation of glycogen leading into fibrosis, this in turn is hypothesized to impede the intercellular electrical communications of the specialized cardiac cells. It also reduces the functional ability of the main pumping chamber (Left Ventricle).

Published: September 2020

Parkinson hastalığı (PH), dopamin üreten beyin hücrelerinin ölmesiyle yada zarar görmesiyle ortaya çıkan bir beyin hastalığıdır. Böyle bir durumda, beyin normal fonksiyonlarını yerine getiremez. PH, konuşma, yürüme ve yazma gibi insan hareketlerini olumsuz olarak etkiler. Bu hastalığın teşhisinde detaylı tıbbi öykü, geçmiş tedavi öyküsü, fiziksel testler ve bazı kan testleri ile beyin filmleri istenilmektedir. Bu işlemler maliyetli ve meşakkatli olabildiği için daha az maliyetli ve daha kolay yapılabilen teşhis bu noktada önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada doktorun kararına destek olabilmesi için 252 bireyden alınan ses verileri ile PH’ın teşhis edilebilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Verilerden daha iyi sonuç alabilmek için bazı ön işlemler uygulanmıştır. Verilerde dengeleme işlemi yapılmış ve sistematik örnekleme metodu ile işleme alınacak veriler belirlenmiştir. Özellik seçme algoritması ile niteliklerin etiket üzerindeki etki gücü hesaplanıp bazı veri grupları oluşturulmuştur. Sınıflandırma algoritmalarından Karar ağacı, Destek Vektör Makineleri ve K En Yakın Komşu Algoritması kullanılıp, performans değerlendirme kriterleri - bunlar; Doğruluk Oranı, Duyarlılık, Özgünlük, F-Ölçümü, Kappa, Auc - değerlendirilmiştir. En yüksek performans değerine sahip veri grubu ve kullanılan sınıflandırma algoritması belirlenip model oluşturulmuştur. Model en ilgiliden en ilgisize doğru sıralanmış veri setinin %45’inden ve Destek vektör makineleri algoritması kullanılarak oluşturulmuştur. Performans kriterlerinde %85 doğruluk oranı ve diğer kriterlerde de olumlu sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Böylece PH olma ihtimali olan bireyin ses kayıtlarından oluşturulan veri seti ve uygulanan model yardımı ile doktora tıbbi karar destek sağlanacağı anlaşılmıştır.

Published: September 2020

This research gave attention to three factors that influence individuals in making investment decisions, motivation, locus of control, and financial literacy. This study generally aims to compare and analyze the effect of motivation, locus of control, and financial literacy on investment decisions on the families of the baby boomers generation, generation X, and generation Y.  This study applied a direct interview method and uses a questionnaire as a data collection tool. Thirty housewives from each generation were interviewed. The results showed a significant difference in motivation and financia literacy between the three generations. The results also showed that all variables had a significant effect on investment decisions in each generation. Otherwise, overall, only the locus of control variable that has no significant effect on investment decisions. Based on this, the government together with investment service providers need to formulate an appropriate program. Apart from the education provided through educators, the program can also be provided with socialization and consultation services, either directly or indirectly. Development of supporting infrastructure and public access to financial institutions, products or services according to their needs and capacities also need attention.
Implementing remote supervision to improve HIV service delivery in rural Malawi
Authors: Masiano Steven , Dunga Shalom , Tembo Tapiwa , Pfaff Colin , Cox Carrie , Robert Beston , Ahmed Saeed , Kim Maria
Published: September 2020

Background

Viral load (VL) testing is critical to monitor response to ART and optimize HIV treatment and care outcomes. Unfortunately, VL testing coverage remains suboptimal in much of sub-Saharan Africa. With the COVID-19 pandemic significantly curtailing in-person supervision of HIV services delivery, low-cost and scalable ways of conducting remote supervision are needed. We evaluated the effects of remote supervision utilizing the WhatsApp platform, a form of supervision highly applicable in the times of COVID-19, on VL testing coverage in rural Malawi.

Methods

Remote supervision via WhatsApp was introduced at all 36 health facilities in Mangochi district in three phases from December 2018, starting with sites with the lowest VL coverage and high client volumes. Data were collected from VL testing registers over 35 weeks (pre-intervention=17 weeks; post-intervention=18 weeks). VL coverage was defined as the proportion of VL samples collected compared to the Ministry of Health’s target estimate of the number of VL samples that should be collected in that period. We used single-group interrupted time series design to analyze the effects of WhatsApp supervision and determined whether the effects varied by facility type and ownership. All regressions incorporated Newey-West standard errors to handle problems of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation.

Results

A total of 23,754 VL samples were collected during the study period with nearly two-thirds (15,788) collected post-intervention. Post-intervention, average weekly VL coverage was 123% compared with 74% pre-intervention, an increase of 49 percentage points (t=13.5, p<0.001). There was an immediate step increase of 58 percentage points (95% CI: 48-68, p<0.001) from 58% to 116% following the intervention, which was followed by an increasing and sustained post-intervention trend in VL coverage of 2.5 percentage points per week (95% CI: 1.36, 3.67, p<0.001). Of the 15,788 VL samples collected post-intervention, 6,179 (or 40%) samples were deemed attributable to the intervention.

Conclusions

Remote supervision via WhatsApp may offer a simple, scalable, low-cost means of optimizing HIV service delivery in rural resource-limited settings to help to achieve national and regional goals in HIV treatment and care, particularly in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic where in-person supervision has been significantly curtailed.

Vegetable safety is a public concern in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam—developing countries in Southeast Asia. Eliminating this concern requires insight into factors shaping it. Food risk perception might differ among countries due to the dissimilarities in culture, social, and economic conditions. However, an understanding on this difference is lacking in Southeast Asia. This paper is the first attempt to compare factors influencing risk perception of vegetables in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Principle component analysis and ordered logit regression were employed on a sample of 1,199 consumers from the three countries. We found trust and perception of hazards influenced risk perception across countries. Gender shaped risk perception in Laos and Vietnam. The importance of vegetables and risk information determined risk perception in Vietnam only, while hazard knowledge and homegrown vegetables were predictors of risk perception solely in Cambodia. Since Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam are inhomogeneous in risk perception, policy measures to address food risk perception should be tailored to each country.

Authors: IŞIK Meryem Türkan , ÇAM YANIK Tuğba
Published: September 2020

Amaç: Bu derleme, literatürde etnisite farklılığının ağrı duyarlılığına etkisine yönelik yapılan çalışmaları incelemek ve hemşirelik bakımındaki önemini tartışmak amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmanın evrenini "Cochrane", "Pubmed", "Wiley Online Library" veri tabanları ile "Google Scholar" taranarak ulaşılan 35 makale oluşturdu. İncelemede "etnisite", "kültür", "kültürel farklılık", "ağrı duyarlılığı" anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak ağrı duyarlılığının ölçüldüğü, yayın dilinin Türkçe veya İngilizce olduğu, 2009-2019 yılları arasında yayınlanan ve tam metnine ulaşılabilen makaleler derleme için seçildi. Bulgular: Tanımlayıcı ve deneysel olarak yapılan çalışmalarda, ağrı duyarlılığının değerlendirilmesinde ağrı duyarlılık ölçeği, mekanik-termal-duyusal testlerin kullanıldığı belirlendi. Yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda ağrı duyarlılığının, etnik köken ve kültüre göre değişebileceği ifade edilebilir. Bireylerin ağrı duyarlılığı ve ifade etmesi kültür yapısına göre değişiklik gösterebildiği için buna yönelik geleneksel yöntem uygulamaları da gerçekleştirilebilmektedir. Sonuç: Günümüzde sağlık bakım profesyoneli olan hemşireler, birçok farklı etnik kökene ve kültürel farklılığa sahip hastalara bakım vermektedir. Bundan dolayı hemşire, etnisite ve kültüre göre ağrının algılanışının farklılık gösterebildiğinin farkında olmalıdır. Sağlık kuruluşlarının bu konu üzerinde gerekli önemi göstermeleri ve eğitimlerini buna göre düzenlemeleri gerekmektedir. Özellikle primer tedavi ve bakım verme rolünü üstlenen hemşireler için kültürel bakım ve ağrı duyarlılığı arasında ilişkinin kavranması ve bakıma yansıtılması yaklaşımının oldukça önemli olduğu ortadadır. Hemşireler bakım verirken etnik köken ve kültürel özelliklere göre hastaların ağrı duyarlılığını belirleyerek girişimleri uygulamalıdır.

The analysis of the root cause techniques is a reasonable option to be made to assess the root causes of the funding of construction projects. There are a variety of issues related to financing in construction industries in Iraq. The root,cause analysis is the impact of security and social conditions on financial funding. Variety tools of root cause analysis have originated from literature, as common methods for the detection of root causes. The purpose of this study was to identify and diagnose causes that lead to obstruction of financial funding in the construction projects in the republic of Iraq from the contractors' point of view and their interaction with a number of variables. The study diagnosed nine causes of financial funding in construction projects in Iraq. They are  Pareto,Diagram (PD), and the Five  Why, Analysis. It is found that the reasons (the organization's or the contracting company's reputation, the effect of expertise and skill of the organization or contracting company in obtaining finance & the impact of security and social conditions on the financial funding), came of degree important. In comparison, other reasons came of degree, average important.

Delineating extravagance: Assessing speakers’ perceptions of imaginative constructional patterns
Authors: Ungerer Tobias , Hartmann Stefan
Published: September 2020

The concept of extravagance, commonly used to describe speakers’ use of imaginative language in order to be noticed, has seen a surge in popularity in recent constructionist work. However, researchers have not yet converged on a set of common criteria for identifying extravagant expressions. In this paper, we discuss a variety of existing definitions and combine them into five main characteristics of extravagant language. We then present the results of a pilot rating study in which speakers judged extravagant sentences and their non-extravagant paraphrases regarding some of the previously suggested parameters. Despite the preliminary nature of our investigation, our findings suggest that different constructions vary in their degree of perceived extravagance, and that certain features (e.g. stylistic salience) apply to most extravagant examples while the role of other factors (e.g. the speaker’s emotional involvement) may be restricted to a subset of extravagant patterns. We conclude with some open questions concerning the further demarcation and operationalisation of the concept of extravagance.

In an effort to inform interventions targeting littering behaviour, we estimate how much a change in trash-bag colour increases trash can visibility in Paris. To that end, we apply standard Signal Detection techniques to test how much changing trash-bag colour from grey to red affects subjects' detection rates. In three pre-registered studies (total N = 922), we find that changing trash bag colour from grey to red translates into a 28% increase in the perceived number of bins. This means that a zero-cost change of trash-bag colour from grey to red is equivalent to installing 8,400 additional bins in the city ofParis, in terms of perceived density. Replication studies investigating additional colour changes show that changing the colour from grey to either green or blue further increases visibility, with blue exhibiting the highest increase in visibility.
Exploring Moderation Effects of Education and the Role of Personality Attribution in a Convergent Model of Successful Psychopathy
Authors: McElroy Gary , Wallace Louise , Fido Dean
Published: September 2020

In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the successful psychopath: An individual who manages to achieve occupational success despite exhibiting core psychopathic traits such as callousness. Several studies suggest this phenomenon is underpinned by a specific configuration of adaptive psychopathic traits that may facilitate positive behaviour in combination with protective variables such as education. In addition, research indicates that psychopathic personalities may be further enabled in occupational domains by specific facial cues pertaining to their underlying personality traits. The present study examined these assertions in a two-part cross-sectional design. Part 1 assessed the extent to which self-report psychopathy (as a function of education) predicted professional success in an occupational sample of 161 participants. In part 2, a convenience sample of 131 participants selected their preferred leaders from male- and female-face pairs communicating high and low psychopathy. Regression analyses revealed that psychopathy was negatively (but not significantly) related to professional success when expressed as a function of education. Conversely, a repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that low psychopathy was preferred in female, relative to male, target faces. Overall, the results provided little support for psychopathy having positive impacts on professional success.

Purpose This study aimed to explore the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic including Government-enforced restrictions, on women diagnosed with oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer in the UK using a mixed-methods approach. MethodsDepression (PHQ-2), anxiety (GAD-7), optimism (LOT-R) and perceived risk of recurrence (IPQ-BCS) were measured pre-COVID-19 outbreak and perceived vulnerability, severity and impact of COVID-19 were measured during the UK lockdown period of 23rd March-13th May 2020. Free text responses provided qualitative data. Descriptive statistics regarding COVID-19-specific behaviours and correlations between pre-COVID-19 psychosocial factors and COVID-19 outcomes were conducted. Thematic analysis was conducted on qualitative responses. Quantitative and qualitative data are presented together.Results253 responses were received during the UK lockdown period. Twenty-six percent of the sample were shielding and 15% felt at higher risk of contracting COVID-19. Higher pre-COVID-19 depression and anxiety and lower optimism were associated with higher perceived vulnerability to and severity of COVID-19 and lower confidence in protecting oneself. There were positive and negative effects of lockdown on exercise and relationships and 42% reported negative impacts on anxiety. Participants reported fear of COVID-19, difficulties with adapting to isolation and using technology, and anxiety about the impact of delayed cancer treatment on their cancer recovery and recurrence. ConclusionsNegative effects of lockdown, particularly for delayed cancer treatment should be considered to manage ongoing anxiety. Screening of state depression and anxiety is suggested for intervention prioritisation, but more longitudinal research is needed to understand the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on breast cancer survivors.
Affluence Threat: Property Norms and Police Brutality in the United States
Authors: Szendro Brendan
Published: September 2020

Americans have become increasingly accustomed to controversies surrounding police violence. Such controversies typically center around Fatal Interactions with Police, or FIPs. Previous studies of FIPs have often centered around individual cases and struggled to produce consistent results. I argue that a structuralist perspective can explain these events. Building on previous findings regarding race and inequality, I argue that higher property values should produce a greater number of FIPs. I use a series of count and probability models to illustrate both that this effect occurs, and also that this effect intersects with issues of race and class in a number of revealing ways. Finally, I conclude by offering suggestions for lessening environmental factors that produce these events.
