Corpore et animo praepurgata. La Teología mariana de la Inmaculada Concepción en un sermón inédito del siglo XVIII
Authors: Canedo Castro Miguel Guillermo
Published: June 2022

En el Archivo Histórico de la Provincia de San Luis Bertrán de Colombia (AHPSBC), se encuentran diversos sermones predicados por los frailes dominicos de la Nueva Granada durante el siglo XVIII. Tomando como base los métodos histórico–crítico y teológico, se hace aquí un análisis mariológico del sermón De Concepción: Beatus venter qui te portavit (Lc 11, 27), predicado en 1797; mediante la identificación de categorías teológicas basadas tanto en fuentes bíblicas y patrísticas como de los demás escritores eclesiásticos propuestos por el autor. Debido a que estos textos gozan de un lenguaje icónico y apologético, se brindan los aportes a la Historia de la Teología a través del análisis paleográfico, archivístico, diplomático y codicológico del documento.

Se recorrer rizomas profundamente entrelazados; en tanto la renovación se propende en las áreas como: fe, mente, nuestra santidad, nuestro estilo de vida y la relación con Dios.
TXNIP inhibition in the treatment of diabetes. Verapamil as a novel therapeutic modality in diabetic patients
Authors: Borowiec Agnieszka Magdalena , Właszczuk Adam , Olakowska Edyta , Lewin-Kowalik Joanna
Published: June 2022

Loss of pancreatic β–cell is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and it also occurs in type 2. TXNIP (thioredoxin – interacting protein), also known as vitamin D3-upregulated protein 1, or thioredoxin-binding-protein-2, regulates this process and modulates cellular redox balance. TXNIP is localized primarily in the nucleus, but under oxidative stress it moves to mitochondria, where it interacts with mitochondrial thioredoxin 2. Overexpression of TXNIP induced by hyperglycaemia is typical for diabetes and insulin resistance and leads to apoptosis of pancreatic β– cell, cardiomyopathy, metabolic disorders and multiple harmful effects. It activates NLRP3 inflamasomme and IL–1β, a cytokine involved in type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. TXNIP influences peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha transcriptional activity, expression of glucose transporter–1, nitric oxide production in endothelium and insulin production in β–cells. TXNIP overexpression leads to diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, atherosclerosis, it occurs in cancers and autoimmune diseases, while its deficiency protects β cells. Reduction of TXNIP is an important target in diabetes treatment. In this mechanism insulin, metformin and inhibitors of dipeptydylopeptydase IV are involved. It has been observed that calcium channel blockers (CCB) used in hypertension also inhibit TXNIP expression in cardiomyocytes. L–type channels identification in pancreatic β-cells revealed that CCB inhibit TXNIP expression also in β–cells. For the first time, verapamil was distinguished as an agent that not only inhibits TXNIP expression in pancreatic β-cells, but also enhances β cell survival and function, and possibly prevents diabetes.
The Šenov-Salaš 1 and 4 Upper Palaeolithic sites and settlement and procurement strategies in the Aurignacian of the Moravian Gate
Authors: Moník Martin , Drozd Jiří , Pankowská Anna
Published: June 2022

Techno-typological analysis of two chipped stone assemblages from Šenov-Salaš 1 and 4 in the Moravian Gate (Czech Republic) indicates they belong to the Aurignacian. The two assemblages, preferentially made of Baltic (erratic) flints, comprise few distinctive tool types, though. A statistical analysis was conducted to compare their raw material strategy, tool typology, and topography with other Moravian Aurignacian sites. It transpired that they answer to other Aurignacian sites in their specific topography, raw material strategy, and (a few) Aurignacian endscrapers, but both assemblages comprise few carinated burins. The altitude here is somewhat higher than that for most Moravian Aurignacian sites, but it is still probable that the two assemblages belong to the Aurignacian and that their rather atypical aspect (the small dimensions of artefacts, simple core preparation, few distinctive tools) are due to the small size of the processed flint nodules, which did not allow for thorough core preparation. Predominant plain butts, the virtual absence of archaic, or other distinctive tool types speak for either Evolved Aurignacian or some specific Aurignacian facies of the Moravian Gate. The assemblages cannot be linked with the young AMS 14C date 14 270 ± 40 uncal BP, acquired from a bone from the surface at Salaš 1, just slightly preceding the Moravian Magdalenian, as such a date would be too young not only for any Aurignacian but also for Epiaurignacian sites. Still, the Aurignacian estimation of the assemblages is interesting as the Moravian Gate comprises relatively few sites attributed to this Upper Palaeolithic culture.
Das Hügelgrab von Baláca – Zur Problematik des monumentalen Bestattungsortes
Authors: Palágyi Sylvia
Published: June 2022

The burial site of the owner family of a Roman villa rustica in Baláca, dating back to the 2nd century AD, is a mound grave called Likas Hill. The Earth mound, originally 10–12 m high, with a diameter of about 37 m, covering a double burial chamber and a corridor, was surrounded by a red sandstone wall with a red sandstone cornice. There were tomb altars standing on its stepped footing. The mound had been heavily disturbed over the centuries, and nothing remained of the original burial. The larger fragments of the tombstones were carried away to constructions in the surrounding villages. Until now, it has not been possible to reconstruct the tomb inscriptions remaining in situ in a reassuring way from the fragments, nor to determine the date of construction of the tomb. The two animal burials dug into the Roman age surface, the bustum of a horse and a dog are the only undisturbed set finds of the mound. Excavation observations suggest the existence of additional bustums, which, along with the animal burials, would have been contained in a burial enclosure earlier than the enclosing wall and the tomb structure.
Fibules ansées décorées dans le style animalier italien : une étude des ornementations « hybrides »
Authors: de Vingo Paolo , Grondana Marta
Published: June 2022

The Animalistic Style differs in different phases with its own and different characteristics. There is also a 'hybrid' Animalistic Style, in which different phases of this decorative style are juxtaposed or even merged. This variant of the Animalistic Style has been analyzed here with the aim of clarifying the key moments of the evolution between the different phases. Three artifacts from the Regnum Langobardorum were considered, in particular from Cividale San Mauro, Torino Lingotto and San Lorenzo in Vaccoli in Lucca. Comparing the three artifacts, some conclusions were reached. The presence of artifacts decorated in a 'hybrid' Animalistic Style reaffirms an apparently banal concept: the use of a decorative style does not cease with the appearance of a new one. Furthermore, the coexistence in the Italian context of the different phases of the Animalistic Style on the same artifact indicates that the evolution towards the II Animalistic Style may have occurred in Italy.

Published: June 2022

Dendrobium nobile and Dendrobium officinale as the main varieties of traditional Chinese medicine Dendrobium are widely used in clinic. The study aimed to systematically explore chemical constituents and their antitumor effect of D. nobile and D. officinale by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-IT-TOF), network pharmacology and cancer cell experiments. D. nobile extract and D. officinale extract could significantly inhibit the proliferation of human lung cancer A549 cells, human liver cancer HepG2 cells and human breast cancer MCF-7 cells in the dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05), the antitumor effect of D. officinale extract was stronger than that of D. nobile extract at the same drug concentration. A total of 40 chemical constituents of D. nobile and D. officinale including phenanthrenes, bibenzyls and other types of compounds had been identified by UPLC-IT-TOF, LCMSsolution and MetID software according to retention times, accurate mass, MSn fragmentation, reference compounds and natural product databases. Phenanthrenes with good antitumor activity were mainly present in D. nobile, bibenzyls were the main compounds of D. officinale. Integrated networks of Herb-Compounds-Targets-Cancer revealed that gigantol, moscatilin, tristin, moscatin and densiflorol B were regarded as key antitumor compounds of D. nobile and D. officinale, D. nobile and D. officinale shared 7 targets accounting for 70% of the antitumor core targets, more than half of their antitumor KEGG pathways were similar. The results of molecular docking and western blotting experiments indicated that the antitumor mechanisms of D. nobile and D. officinale may be through inhibiting PI3K-Akt and HIF-1α signaling pathways.
Towards an In-Depth Understanding of English-Swedish Translanguaging Pedagogy in Multilingual EFL Classrooms
Authors: Källkvist Marie , Gyllstad Henrik , Sandlund Erica , Sundqvist Pia
Published: June 2022

This paper focuses on language practices in multilingual English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms in lower-secondary education. Based in the Ethnography of Language Policy, it presents a case study of a lead teacher of EFL and a year-8 class in a large urban multilingual school in Sweden. The study aims to map and understand language practices used in this classroom as being part of a larger sociocultural context, focusing on the perspectives of the teacher and four successively trilingual students who had had between four and eight years of schooling in Sweden. Field notes, lesson observations and interviews revealed that practices can be described as English Mainly + Swedish, referred to here as ‘English-Swedish translanguaging pedagogy’. While English was the base language in lessons, Swedish was used judiciously but consistently, serving different specific purposes. Discourse analysis of ethnographic data showed that the teacher’s practices can be traced to his lived experience and to discourses in policy documents. Student participants expressed positive attitudes to the language practices used, which can be explained by them having developed sufficient command of Swedish in the school domain and being loyal to an institutional policy document, their teacher and fellow students.
Back to the Initial Condition: Experiences that Trigger the Need to Develop Language Skills Among University Spanish Students
Authors: Österberg Rakel , Donoso Alejandra , Sologuren Enerique
Published: June 2022

The present study investigates how the L2 learning experience shapes multilinguals' motivation to improve their writing skills in Spanish, a language they study at university level. Within the Second Language Motivational Self System Theory (L2MSS), the L2 learning experience is often neglected when it comes to interpreting and discussing findings on motivation. We propose that the analysis of the L2 learning experience should acknowledge both formal and informal settings, such as the family context, in order to research why and how a person chooses to develop certain linguistic abilities like writing.

Given that the L2 learner experience is spatially and temporally bound, the concept of sensitivity to initial conditions, i.e., the conditions or changes that may trigger the learner to move towards enhanced language learning, will be adopted to research the L2 learning experience.

The aim of the study is twofold. First, to investigate the Spanish learning experience as a function of the initial conditions referred to by the participants. Second, to research how the Spanish ideal and ought-to selves are related to the students’ motivation to use and learn or maintain Spanish skills.

The data consist of a questionnaire answered by multilingual university students of Spanish (n=21) and written autobiographical narratives. The participants belong to two groups: one group of Spanish heritage language learners (n=10) and one group of native-Swedish speaking L3 Spanish learners (n=11). Overall, family reasons, previous school experiences, high proficiency in Spanish, previously acquired languages, contact with the linguistic communities, language use and context are all aspects tightly connected to the students’ motivation to learn, maintain and develop Spanish language proficiency. The L2 learning experience, as a wider construct dependent on the sensitivity to initial conditions, must be considered to understand the complex nature of multilingual literacy development.
The Concept of a Remote Digital Investment Transaction in the Information Space
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Matytsin Denis
Published: June 2022

Introduction: in the legal literature, sufficient attention has always been paid and is currently being paid to the topic of transactions. At the same time, remote digital investment transactions in the information space have not been considered by colleagues in civil studies until recently. In this regard, it would be expedient and timely to substantiate the scientific interpretation of this type of transaction, highlighting its characteristic distinguishing features, to begin with. Purpose: the purpose of the paper is to substantiate the author’s definition of a remote digital investment transaction made in the information space from the standpoint of the civilistic doctrine. Methods: the main methodological step of the author in the interpretation of the original author’s definition is the identification and justification of five characteristic distinctive qualitative features of such a transaction. Results: it has been established that the legal purpose of the contact and expression of the will of the subjects of a remote digital investment transaction – the receipt of the investment object into the investor’s property, funds to the recipient of the investment – is achieved and forms legal consequences: establishment, possible agreed change, within the stipulated period or termination of civil rights and obligations agreed before the deadline. The essence, the internal substance of a remote digital investment transaction is a certain entrepreneurial idea, without which investing in the information space is impossible. Conclusions: it is proved that a remote digital investment transaction in the information space is an intellectual and volitional behavioral act of competent, legally capable subjects (investor, investment intermediary, recipient of investments), forming a legal fact during their mutual contact and expression of will on the Internet through special software and hardware, expressed in an electronic form regulated by law.

Introduction: the paper examines the impact of digitalization on the institution of the notary. The hypothesis of the impact of digital transformation on both the formal side of the existence of the institution in question and its substantive aspect is taken as the basis for the study. The purpose of the study: to identify the significant consequences of the impact of digital transformation on the institution of the notary. Methods: in the study, the authors use the hermeneutical method, the system and logical methods, analysis, synthesis, comparison. Results: the conducted research allows confirming the hypothesis about the impact of digital transformation on the notary in two directions: substantive and formal. The main driver of the changes is the introduction of a Unified Notary Information System. However, not all identified examples of changing practices within the institution of notaries can be evaluated positively. Conclusions: the authors conclude that from the formal side, the activity of the notary becomes more dynamic and accessible. From the substantive side, the digital transformation of the notary contributes to the unity of spaces: legal, geographically determined, and virtual ones.
Periods and the Menstrualscape: Menstrual Products and Menstrual Manifestations in Scotland, 1870–2020
Authors: Vostral Sharra L
Published: June 2022

The Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Act 2021 is the first national legislation of its kind and makes provision for menstrual products at no cost to menstruators throughout Scotland. While the act is welcome, and ensconced public conversation about menstruation, it also simultaneously nationalized the practice of physical concealment through use of menstrual products. This article explores the historical debut of manufactured menstrual products in Scotland during the 20th century, and the junctures at which they rose to national significance. It does so through the concept of the menstrualscape. This term serves as shorthand to refer to the ephemera, material artefacts, and visual representations of menstrual products in relation to social and cultural beliefs. The menstrualsape sheds light on the historically relevant ideas and factors that undergird Scotland’s Free Provision Act.

Scarring Dreams? Young People’s Vocational Aspirations and Expectations During and After Unemployment
Authors: Mühlböck Monika , Kalleitner Fabian , Steiber Nadia , Kittel Bernhard
Published: June 2022

Young people’s early‐career unemployment experience has been found to have long‐lasting effects, resulting in lower earnings even decades later. However, while this so‐called “scarring effect” is well established, there is still little knowledge about the mechanisms through which it comes about. We take a closer look at the period that produces the wounds that later turn to scars. Drawing on a panel survey in which young adults in Austria were interviewed once at the beginning of an unemployment period and again one year later, we study how job aspirations and expectations changed during this period. We find that respondents on average lowered their aspirations and expectations over time, particularly those who experienced latent deprivation during unemployment. Furthermore, while the aspirations and expectations of those who were unemployed at the time of the second interview remained relatively unchanged, those who were employed lowered their expectations and to some extent also their aspirations. Our results suggest that research should pay more attention to the heterogenous effects of early‐career unemployment: It produces scarred dreams for some while others manage to keep their aspirations and expectations alive.
THE DETERMINANTS OF VALUE ADDED TRADE IN THE EU (EU-15 vs. CEE)
Authors:   University of Rijeka, Faculty of Economics, Zaninović Petra Adelajda
Published: June 2022

Cilj ovog rada je procijeniti učinke pojedinih determinanti na trgovinu dodanom vrijednošću DV, te analizirati postoje li i u kojoj mjeri razlike između starih (EU-15) i novih (CEE) zemalja članica. Kao varijabla trgovine DV koristi se domaća dodana vrijednost (DVAFX) sadržana u stranom bruto izvozu. Analiza se temelji na strukturnom gravitacijskom modelu, a provedena je za razdoblje od 2000. do 2019. godine na uzorku od 130 zemalja. U analizi su uključene varijable pozicija u globalnom lancu vrijednosti, tehnološki razvoj, razvoj informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije te učinkovitost institucija i granica. Kako bi se riješio problem efekta trećih zemalja, te potencijalni problem endogenosti, u model su uključeni godišnji fiksni učinci, fiksni učinci trgovinskih parova i fiksni učinci zemalja izvoznica i uvoznica. Kao glavni procjenitelj koristi se Poissonov procjenitelj pseudo maksimalne vjerodostojnosti (PPML), dok se kao test robusnosti modela koristi dinamička panela analiza s GMM procjeniteljem. Rezultati analize pokazuju kako su učinkovitost institucija i granica, tehnološki razvoj i pozicija u lancu opskrbe značajne za DVAFX te da su učinci tehnološkog razvoja i pozicije u lancu opskrbe još veći za zemlje CEE u usporedbi s EU-15.
Prediction of the very- and ultra-large container ships’ electricity generation capacity at the initial design stage
Authors:   Maritime University of Szczecin, Doctoral School, Szczecin, Poland, Korlak Piotr Kamil
Published: June 2022

Container ships represent the fastest growing segment of global shipping. Tackling such challenges as the constant pursuit of reduction of unit transportation costs and negative effects on the environment has led to the development of very- and ultra-large container ships, which dominate transport on the world's major shipping routes. Very-large container ships are conventionally assumed to have a cargo capacity above 10,000 TEU and an overall hull length below 369 meters, whilst the unique feature of ultra-large container ships is an overall hull length over 390 meters. The ship operational states and the main electric power receivers such as reefers and bow thrusters are mentioned and formulae to predict their electricity demand are given. Contemporary configurations of ships’ electric power stations are presented and discussed. Cargo capacity expressed in 20-foot equivalent units (TEU) was identified as the main predictor of the electricity generation capacity based on a representative very- and ultra-large container ships database. Using a simple linear regression model based on the least squares method, a formula was developed to predict the electricity generation capacity of very- and ultra-large container ships at the initial design stage. The prediction will find application in the design of very and ultra-large container ships’ electric power stations. The use of the developed formula at the initial design stage enables obtaining results that are sufficiently accurate to the results of the exact verification calculations at the technical design stage.
SAFA awards: Recognizing excellence in financial reporting
Authors: Adhikari Paramananda
Published: June 2022

The major objective of the SAFA Awards is intended to enhance good governance, transparent reporting, and adequate disclosures through the application of financial reporting and auditing standards, thereby meeting stakeholders’ expectations and high levels of professional ethics in South Asian countries. This reflects SAFA’s firm commitment to serving the public interest and contributing to the economic development of the SAARC Region.

SAFA Best Presented Accounts & Corporate Governance (BPA & CG) Awards, in fact, are testimony to the commitment of the entities towards maintaining the highest level of transparency in accounting practices. Corporate entities, of course, have always been a strong proponent of good corporate governance and constantly strive to reflect the same in all their processes, which in turn translate into increased confidence in the company from both existing and potential customers.

On the other hand, the Awards are an honor of recognition given by the SAFA, which is a good testament to the entity's commitment to transparent reporting and good governance. SAFA Awards is an acknowledgment that the corporate entities have excelled in fulfilling their financial reporting obligations.

The presentation of SAFA Awards impacts a significant long-term recognition for the publicly disclosed financial and other stakeholder information and does not in any way represent any attestation by the SAFA for the operational performance, financial position, liquidity, capital adequacy, or equity status of the evaluated entities. The awards, of course, help corporate entities to enhance their quality and disclosures of published Annual Reports in the days to come. The terms presentation, transparency, and disclosure have been used amply, throughout this article to reflect the quality of Annual Reports. This article aims to highlight the SAFA and SAFA Awards, how the awards help to improve the corporate financial reporting and best practices, how to judge the award winners et cetera, et cetera.

Online talk in a New Zealand primary-school context
Authors: Whyte Belinda , Davies Maree , Wilson Aaron
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature and understanding of online talk in a New Zealand primary-school context. This research consisted of a small-scale case study of the #NZReadaloud, a pre-existing literacy programme, over 6 weeks in mid-2020. A private online group on the education platform Edmodo was established where 14 students and four teachers participating in the study could discuss a text being read aloud in their classrooms. These discussions, along with eight follow-up interviews, were analysed to seek patterns and draw conclusions about the nature of online talk in this context. A key finding from this study showed that online talk was well liked by teachers and students, but that this did not translate into greater amounts or a more interactive style of participation. Allocated time for explicit teaching and modelling of how to talk online is important. Data from this study could be used in future research or as background when planning online literacy discussions.

Use of temperature changes and pro-inflammatory biomarkers to diagnose bacterial infections in patients with severe cerebral trauma
Authors: Toros Andrew , Grodzinsky Ewa , Karlsson Nadine , Nilsson Martin , Levander Märta Sund
Published: June 2022

Background: In patients undergoing neurosurgeries, inflammation and infection are strongly related; however, inflammation can be present without infection. Midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is a relatively new sepsis biomarker that is rarely used clinically. Recently, the concept of DiffTemp was introduced, that is, a >1°C rise from individual normal temperature accompanied by malaise, as a more accurate definition of temperature assessed as fever. The aim of the present study was to examine the importance of C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cells, procalcitonin, and MR-proADM levels and DiffTemp.Methods: This prospective, comparative study had a quantitative approach. Forty-two patients, aged >18 years and presenting with severe cerebral trauma were included from a neurosurgery intensive care unit. The outcome variable was infection; group 0, no infection (n=11); group 1, suspected infection (n=15); and, group 2, confirmed infection (n=16). Group assignments were performed using biomarkers, medical records, bacterial cultures, and International Classification of Diseases-10, and by the clinical assessment of criteria for nosocomial infections by a neurosurgeon.Results: On comparing groups 1 and 2, MR-proADM and DiffTemp were associated with a higher risk of confirmed infection (odds ratio, 5.41 and 17.14, respectively). Additionally, DiffTemp had a 90.9% specificity in patients with no infection and a 93.8% sensitivity in patients with confirmed infections. CRP and procalcitonin levels were not associated with an increased risk of confirmed infection.Conclusion: Increased levels of MR-proADM were associated with a higher risk of confirmed infection. DiffTemp was associated with a higher risk of having a confirmed infection.

Background: To prevent the losses caused by brucellosis, development of diagnostic tools for differentiating vaccinated cattle from infected one is priority in the eradication of the disease. The present study was undertaken for differential identification of Brucella abortus from vaccine strain S19 by EryC PCR. Methods: In this study, 1145 clinical samples of unvaccinated cattle and buffaloes (200 blood samples, 710 sera, 190 vaginal swabs, 20 abomasal contents of foetus, 25 foetal tissues) and 146 blood samples of vaccinated animals were collected from dairy farms in and around Mumbai and Pune region. These samples were processed for isolation of Brucella organisms and further characterized by EryC PCR. Result: The EryC PCR yielded the amplicon of 1257 bp in B. abortus 544, B. melitensis Rev1, all field isolates, 67 vaginal swabs, 23 foetal tissue samples, 80 (40%) blood samples of unvaccinated animals and 21 blood samples of vaccinated animals. Only two out of the 146 blood samples from S19 vaccinated animals showed amplicon of 555 bp. The EryC PCR developed during the present study was found useful in differentiating wild type of Brucella strains from B. abortus S19 and also found effective when tried on reference strains and field samples.

Background: The profitability in swine production is mostly associated to the superior growth performance. The information pertaining to the genetic and non-genetic factors influencing growth traits is significant to enable animal breeders to adopt better selection and managemental methods.
Methods: Data from 50% LWY-Desi genetic group and 75% LWY-Desi genetic group that were maintained at the All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Pigs, Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University, Tirupati were used to understand the effect of genetic and non-genetic parameters on production traits.
Result: The genetic group, period of birth, season, parity and sex have significant influence on post weaning body weights in most of the ages. Certain age groups showed significant effect on post-weaning average daily gain; but no specific trend was observed for age groups between the two genetic groups. The heritability estimates for post weaning body weights and ADG were medium to high in both the genetic groups. The genetic and phenotypic correlations among post-weaning body weight were inconsistent in direction. Overall, the 75% LWY-Desi genetic group performed better than 50% LWY-Desi genetic group, presumably due to the higher exotic inheritance and genetic superiority.

Background: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) refers to a group of gram-positive bacteria that are genetically distinct from other strains of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed, through horizontal gene transfer, natural selection and multiple drug resistance to beta lactam antibiotics and thus causing many severe diseases which are very problematic to treat as they are resistant to different antibiotics. The above situation is further aggravated by the formation of biofilms which are structured aggregation of surface attached microbes encased in an extracellular matrix. Thus, the time required to develop biofilms becomes an important point to study. Methods: In the present study, detection of the extent of biofilm formation by MRSA isolates, was performed using the Microtitre Plate Assay. The test was performed in triplicates and was continued for a time period of 7 days to detect the extent of biofilm formation with increase in incubation interval. Result: On comparing the biofilm forming ability of different isolates from Day 1 to Day 7, it could be clearly observed that the biofilm forming capacity of isolates gradually increased with increase in incubation time and most of the isolates became strong biofilm producers from Day 4.

Published: June 2022

This study aims to develop an online-based collaborative project learning model design that can improve students’ abilities in developing teaching materials. The method used is research and development. Data collection instruments are questionnaires and rubrics. Data analysis used descriptive statistics. The validation test used the individual content validity index and the overall content validity index. The Collaborative Project Online Learning (CPOL) model developed consists of six stages in learning: (1) orientation, (2) understanding project concepts and tasks, (3) designing and determining project themes, (4) working on project assignments, (5) presenting project assignments, and (6) evaluating project assignments. The results show that the content validity index shows a good category. Students are also good at developing teaching materials. Thus, the design of the CPOL model can be used in the course of developing teaching materials in higher education.

Using songs to teach students with intellectual disabilities to tell time
Authors: Güneş Özler Naime
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using songs to teach students with intellectual disabilities to tell time. It followed a multiple-probe, across-subject design with a probe phase, which is a single-subject research design. The participants were three 17–19-year-old female students with mild intellectual disabilities who could not read clocks. They were taught to read analog clocks at full, half, and quarter past hours. Graphical analysis was used to analyze the data on the effectiveness of teaching through songs. At the end of the study, it was evaluated whether the students could read clocks without singing. Social validity data were collected from the students and their teachers. The findings show that all three students could learn to read clocks through songs and could tell the time correctly without songs. In the social validity data, the students stated that they were able to learn to tell time easily without getting bored and they wanted other lessons to also be taught through songs. The teachers stated that the students participated in the lesson more willingly than usual and that they enjoyed learning to tell time.

School connectedness, school climate and emotional and behaviour disorders in students: Examining relationships
Authors: Mahabbati Aini , Prabawati Wening
Published: June 2022

Students with emotional and behaviour disorders (EBDs) have challenging school connectedness experiences related to their social, behaviour and academic problems. They need accommodative school climate. Therefore, it is necessary to know the relationship between variations in EBDs, school connectedness and school climate. This was a survey research on students with EBDs (N = 60) from 14 inclusive elementary schools. Questionnaires about EBD types, school connectedness and school climate were filled out by teachers as data. The data analysis technique used was descriptive statistics with product–moment correlation test. The results indicate that EBDs have a medium significant negative correlation with school connectedness (−0.591) and school climate (−0.521). School climate has a positive correlation with school connectedness (0.438). This study suggests positive school climate improvement to increase school connectedness of students with EBDs, because it can affect the reduction of problem behaviour.
