Factors Shaping the Uptake of ICT in Science Classrooms. A Study of a Large-Scale Introduction of Interactive Whiteboards and Computers
Authors: Grimalt-Álvaro Carme , Ametller Jaume , Pintó Roser
Published: November 2020

This paper characterizes how science teachers use technology in secondary school lessons, with a special focus on Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs), laptops and Digital Textbooks (DTs). This study also analyses how previous professional development or training may influence the way in which teachers use technology in their subsequent practice, as well as some possible relations with their perceptions. A total of 94 teachers from 69 secondary schools in Catalonia (Spain) were surveyed. Responses were collected and analysed combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Participants’ answers reveal the predominance of the use of IWBs and teachers’ computers, with scarce variety of uses, mostly aimed at supporting teacher-centred practices. Students’ participation in the use of these devices was low, calling into question the possible educational changes in science education. Although most teachers’ training in the use of technology seems to have caused little impact on their subsequent practices, some less frequent training approaches, such as training based on real examples, seems more effective in terms of changing teachers’ utilization of technology.

Published: November 2020

Increased interest in conservation has led to an emerging interest in understanding children’s environmental awareness. Consequently, an increase in environmental education as part of the curriculum in Australian primary schools has resulted. The awareness of students in Australian primary schools has not been extensively studied. Consequently, the aim of this study was to investigate the environmental awareness of primary school aged children, and if gender or age influences awareness. We surveyed 105 primary school students (66 girls, 39 boys; 9 to 12 years of age) from Brisbane, Australia. The survey consisted of 10 closed questions and two open questions about human impacts on the environment and food waste. There was no gender difference in the number of correct responses, and older students had more correct responses. Further, females were more likely than males to correctly answer questions focused on behaviour and its impact on the environment. Open questions identified broad global themes of human impacts on the environment, with students focusing on repurposing food waste rather than reducing the amount of food purchased as a way of managing food waste. Therefore, specific types of environmental awareness are observed in primary school aged children.

Published: November 2020

Within the agriculture sector the use of digital technologies is rapidly expanding. There is a growing shortage of skilled people considering a career within this sector to support the uptake of agricultural technology. The GPS Cows program is designed to improve secondary school student’s knowledge and skills of emerging agricultural technologies. It highlights a range of opportunities and potential career options available to students in agriculture. This collaborative project combines the expertise and passion of researchers, industry professionals and educators in both Australia and the USA. A pilot workshop was run with ten teachers from nine Queensland and New South Wales secondary schools. Teachers participated in lectures and practical workshops, developed data analysis skills and took part in a World Café style focus group. The focus group findings highlighted that for the GPS Cows program to be implemented in secondary school classrooms, excellent resources from the GPS Cows team are needed, combined with ongoing support and guidance. Nevertheless, the participating teachers felt that their students would both engage and enjoy participating in the GPS Cows program and realise the opportunities the agricultural sector offers.
Seeing the Light: Science Communication and Art

Published: November 2020

A collaboration connecting a university’s Physics teaching and its art museum’s exhibition program has demonstrated the value of such partnerships. In the context of an upsurge in transdisciplinary art practice, and the need for scientists to develop skills in communicating science to non-specialists, a curator and a physicist implemented an innovative learning and assessment activity associated with a significant exhibition of contemporary art. Third-year physics students were tasked with selecting an artwork from the exhibition and explaining the physics in it to gallery visitors, via a short piece of writing. A selection of the best student-authored texts was displayed in the exhibition alongside the usual curatorial labels. In preparing for the task, students were given instruction and practice in writing about science for non-scientists, and provided with information about the artworks and the exhibition. The students’ writing enriched the visitor experience by establishing links between art and science. Students saw their science in a new context. The nature of this activity as an authentic task with a genuine reward – the opportunity for public, professional output – had a positive effect on student engagement with science communication. We discuss the impact of the activity and the transferability of the strategies used.

Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) has a large student cohort undertaking anatomy and physiology as part of their core curriculum. Large student cohorts (> 300) impact on the quality and amount of feedback students receive. Teaching and learning materials for students are generally necessary as part of the learning process, and also assist the instructor. This study evaluated whether the introduction of a student laboratory manual enhances student learning and the feedback they receive in the unit of Anatomy and Physiology. It also evaluated the addition of a teaching guide in the teaching experience of tutors in the unit. Anonymous online student and tutor surveys were conducted. Questions regarding the content, presentation and educational value were included in the survey. Students overwhelmingly responded positively to the student laboratory manual. They also believed the amount and quality of feedback received during the unit from their tutor was beneficial to their learning. Students also reported that having a hard copy of their laboratory manual enhanced their learning experience. Therefore, in conclusion the student laboratory manual is a positive introduction into the curriculum of anatomy and physiology. It also identifies potential areas of improvement for the anatomy and physiology curriculum.

Published: November 2020

Undergraduate students enrolled in generalist degrees, such as biomedical science, have diverse potential graduate pathways that they may choose to pursue. The aims of this study were to evaluate the intended graduate destinations of students, the reasons they chose to study science and the perceived value of the skills they are acquiring for their intended profession. The participants were second year biomedical science students at the University of Queensland. Their responses to open-ended questions regarding their intentions, choices and perceptions were subjected to thematic analysis. Three-quarters of students mentioned one intended profession, with the remainder mentioning two or more. Overall, they identified 53 different intended graduate destinations in the fields of medicine (69%), research (34%), the science industry (14%) and allied health (8%). As reasons for studying science, students commonly reported their interest in science, the influence of role models and enjoyment or academic success in prior study. Many students, particularly those intent on pursuing medicine, said they planned to use science as a pathway to a postgraduate degree. Importantly, all students perceived that the skills they were acquiring in their degree were highly applicable to their future intended professions.

This study investigated tenth grade Bhutanese students’ understanding of the law of mechanical energy

conservation. A low-cost hands-on model developed using locally available materials designed as an integral part

of a guided inquiry laboratory was used as intervention. A single-group pretest-posttest research design was

employed. The instruments used to explore the students’ conceptual understanding and views and attitudes were

13 two-tier multiple-choice items and 20 close-ended Likert-based items, respectively. The study also examined

the students’ views and attitudes toward a guided inquiry laboratory and the effectiveness of a hands-on model

through a semi-structured interview protocol. The data was analysed by calculating the mean, standard deviation,

and t-test. The paired-sample t-test indicated a significant enhancement of students’ conceptual understanding

due to the intervention of the guided inquiry laboratory from pretest (M=12.59, SD=3.28) to posttest [M=21.39,

SD=3.07), t(99) = – 52.14, p
Evaluating Pre-Service Teachers’ Design of Mathematical Modelling Tasks
Authors: Dogan Muhammed Fatih
Published: November 2020

This study aims to examine pre-service teachers’ competencies in designing authentic mathematical modelling tasks. The participants of this study were 22 pre-service teachers enrolled in a mathematical modelling course during their second year in a mathematics teacher education program. The participants designed 20 problems, which were evaluated based on four criteria for mathematical modelling: reality, openness, complexity, and model eliciting. The results indicate that even though the participants were successful in developing problems that had real-world scenarios, only five of them were classified as modelling problems. The majority of the problems fulfilled the reality criterion (12 out of 17); only five of them fulfilled the criteria of openness and model eliciting, and only six of them fulfilled the criterion of complexity. These findings contribute to the importance of supporting teachers’ competencies in the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling for integration into K-12 classrooms.

Published: November 2020

Grain storage plays a crucial role in ensuring food security to Thai farmers so sustainable protection methods against deleterious microorganisms, such as fungi, are necessary. Essential oils (EOs) have demonstrated broad-spectrum fumigant antifungal activity against most storage fungi that are problematic in Thailand. Four storage fungi (Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Curvularia lunata and Fusarium proliferatum) were isolated from dried rice and corn grains (stored for at least six months). EOs were extracted by hydrodistillation from clove buds (Syzygium aromaticum), fruit peel and leaves of makrut lime (Citrus hystrix), eucalyptus leaves (Eucalyptus sp.) and lemongrass stems (Cymbopogon citratus). The fungi inoculated on PDA in plastic cups were exposed to each EO vapour originating from paper disc attached in the lids in an inverted position. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for each EO was determined. Selected MICs were combined in a binary manner and similarly tested against the fungi. Fractional inhibitory concentration indices (FICI) were determined for each combination. Lemongrass and makrut lime leaf EOs were the most effective with MICs of 0.09 µL/mL against Curvularia lunata and 0.19-0.28 µL/mL against A. flavus, A. niger and F. proliferatum. Eucalyptus oil produced the least effective vapour (MIC 0.56-0.74 µL/mL) against all tested pathogens. A combination of lemongrass and makrut lime leaf EOs was partially synergistic against A. niger (FICI=0.75) but was fully synergistic against the other three fungi tested (FICI=0.5). The EOs from lemongrass and makrut lime leaf have potential to suppress the growth of the four grain-storage fungi tested.

Published: November 2020

The article discusses the importance of using big data in agriculture. Technologies of "big" imply the processing of a huge amount of data of various structured and unstructured data, as well as the use of various tools, methods of their processing, which allowing to analyze information, special solutions for specific goals and objectives. Extracting data from such data sets and improving its intellectual analysis, open up the opportunity for agricultural producers to improve the quality of decisions made and timely, more efficient methods of farming. The developed database templates are presented, they which fully take into account the features of the collected and analyzed information in the interests of agricultural producers and industry experts. The task was set in the work to create a flexible structure that can be quickly supplemented with new relevant information. A test filling of the developed templates with primary information to check the performance of the created database structure was carried out. Often statistics is undertaken not for the purpose for obtaining objective information, but for some kind of "political" or market manipulation. Additionally, there is a problem of "discontinuity" of data collected during the period of another campaigns, which after a while they’re gone. Using standards to ensure interoperability between systems is a key requirement for effective information integration. Taking into account the experience of filling in the creating database as well as the tested possibilities of using, the requirements for the data collection standards of agricultural producers were formulated.

The influence of different systems of soil cultivation is considered - traditional (recommended) technology and direct sowing, which is increasingly used under dry conditions of the region. The rehabilitation of the degraded southern chernozems and dark chestnut soils structure during 13 and 7 years of direct sowing, respectively, has not been established. It takes much longer to rehabilitation the aggregate state of soils, which is currently in a critical condition of the content of aggregates> 10 mm in size and the sum of agronomically valuable aggregates. The soils under 60-year treeline, as a control, showed a satisfactory range of aggregates, which indicates a high degree of soil degradation in the past and a long period of their recovery time. The effectiveness of direct sowing usage in the cultivation of a wider range of grain and row crops (winter wheat, sunflower, peas, chickpeas, rapeseed, buckwheat, corn) is due to the peculiarities of agricultural technologies. Abandoning of naked fallows and soil treatments with the simultaneous use of plant residues and cover crops on the soil surface between the harvest and sowing of winter crops provides an anti-erosion effect and, as a consequence, a decrease in physical evaporation, an increase in moisture and biota reserves, an increase in microbiological processes, which are noted in the form trends in improving the agrochemical and agrophysical properties of soils.

This report provides a factual argumentation and interpretation of the ASF epizootic situation among wild boars in relation to infection control in the Russian Federation in terms of aspects that are sufficiently highlighted in the scientific literature and provided with reliable data. On the whole, the situation in the Russian Federation can be characterized as extremely contradictory. There are no signs of a correlation between the reported incidence of ASF in wild boars and their population density. The incidence of natural infection has a sporadic, outbreak, quantum character. In 2019, clearly defined chronologically and spatially, endemically stable clusters of natural infection with clear signs of natural focus in a number of regions of the Russian Federation emerged. In disadvantaged countries on the eastern border of the European Union all endemicity is consists to the incidence of wild boars in natural conditions with rare sporadic index cases in domestic pigs in a ratio of 9 to 1 and proven signs of evolution towards the chronicity of the disease and moderate virulence of the virus of the II genotype. The incidence of ASF among wild boars is universally characterized by unusually low values of focus: the number of infected per outbreak was very similar in Latvia – 1.16, Hungary – 1.4, RF – 1.5, Poland – 1.7. Measures for a widespread radical reduction of the populations of wild boars in disadvantaged and threatened areas as the only effective tactic of not only against epidemtic but also preventive activities show their effectiveness.
Elites and Color Revolutions: The Logic of Russia’s Response
Authors: Petrov Kirill
Published: November 2020

The phenomenon of color revolutions has occupied a prominent place in Russian politics for a good reason. The major threat of color revolutions as modern political warfare designed by Western countries deeply affected the political process in Russia since 2005. It may have appeared that the imperative of resisting them was the result of a non-democratic regime reacting to neighboring countries’ uprisings. Some portrayed it as authoritarian learning. This paper suggests that the counteractions stemmed from the interests of disunited Russian elite groups who were seeking opportunities to reinforce their dominance and capitalize on the idea of significant external threats. The phenomenon reshaped the balance within elite groups and led to the consolidation of law enforcement networks on the eve of Putin’s third term. Further, the prevailing perception of color revolutions discouraged any elite splits that could lead to proto-democratic rules.

Protection of personal data as closely related to the protection of personal and private rights. Indonesia does not yet have legislation that specifically regulates the protection of personal data. then the problem that the author raises is: the comparison of the right to personal protection as part of human rights in Indonesia with the constitution in other countries and the concept of comparing the protection of personal data as a manifestation of the human rights of personal protection in Indonesia and other countries. related to the protection of personal rights in Indonesia is a state constitutional obligation regulated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Article 28G Paragraph (1). The constitutions of other countries such as in several Asian, African, and European countries as mentioned above have explicitly regulated and mentioned the protection of guarantees and personal rights or privacy rights of their citizens. while in Indonesia such as Saudi Arabia and Madagascar it does not explicitly mention anything about the right of privacy in their constitution. it can be concluded that the concept of personal data protection can be found in international and regional instruments such as the European Union Data Protection Directive, the European Union Data Protection Convention, and the OECD Guidelines.

Authors: Hadi Krishno , Asworo Listiana , Taqwa Iradhad
Published: November 2020

This article highlights the importance of a dialogic relationship between government and society in the effort to build more participatory service system innovations. The idea of dialogic innovation itself arises as a logical consequence of the open government system, which replaces outdated service practices. This new idea emphasizes accountability, transparency and participation from the community as the spirit of the public service system. Thus, public service innovation is produced by absorbing bottom-up innovation. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study model. Data collected through observation, depth interviews and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the Malang Online Service System (SINGO) implemented in the village of Sawojajar, Malang is evidence of the success of dialogic innovation between the community and the government. The android application-based public service system was conceived and created by the Sawojajar community itself, supported by the local government. SINGO’s innovations have succeeded in becoming champions and pioneers for other villages. This shows that dialogical and participatory public services have succeeded in changing the old pathological bureaucratic paradigm into emancipation. Artikel ini menyoroti pentingnya relasi dialogis antara pemerintah dengan masyarakat dalam upaya membangun inovasi sistem layanan yang lebih partisipatif. Gagasan inovasi dialogis sendiri muncul sebagai konsekuensi logis dari sistem open government, yang menggantikan praktik pelayanan yang telah usang. Ide baru ini menitikberatkan pada akuntabilitas, transparansi serta partisipasi dari masyarakat sebagai ruh dari sistem pelayanan publik. Sehingga, inovasi pelayanan publik dihasilkan dengan cara menyerap aspirasi dari bawah (bottom-up innovation). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan model studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, depth interview dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa Sistem Pelayanan Malang Online (SINGO) yang diterapkan di kelurahan Sawojajar, Malang merupakan bukti dari keberhasilan inovasi dialogis antara masyarakat dengan pemerintah. Sistem pelayanan publik berbasis aplikasi android digagas dan diciptakan oleh masyarakat Sawojajar sendiri, didukung oleh pemerintah setempat. Inovasi SINGO sendiri berhasil menjadi juara sekaligus pionir bagi kelurahan lainnya. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pelayanan publik yang dialogis dan partisipatif berhasil mengubah paradigma birokrasi lama yang patologis menjadi emansipatif.

Many entities strive to be innovative in their pursuits, however, history has shown that some of the most innovative advances have occurred when the particular efforts are focused on something else. Some of the greatest innovations have happened by chance, or by an error in regular procedure or experimentation, or even a byproduct of an alternate use of existing technology. For this post, we’ll look at innovations brought on by Serendipity, Errors, or Exaptation.

Spi1 (PU.1) is differentially expressed in the tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (1) utilized for the treatment of adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer (2) in the United States and worldwide. We mined published microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) to discover in an unbiased manner the most significant transcriptional changes associated with trastuzumab treatment. We identified the transcription factor Spi1 (PU.1) as among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab. The primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab expressed higher levels of Spi1 messenger RNA than did patients not treated with trastuzumab, and a single administration of trastuzumab was sufficient to result in differential expression of Spi1 in primary tumors of the breast, demonstrating increased expression of a transcription factor whose transgenic expression in mice results in development of erythroleukemia and that guides fate choice to microglial lineages from that of hematopoietic cells (5, 6) as a direct transcriptional result of treatment with trastuzumab.

The review on Epidemiology, Prevention, Control and Surveillance of Nosocomial Infections
Authors: Mukherjee Dattatreya
Published: November 2020

Nosocomial infection or hospital associated infections occur to the patients who are admitted inside the hospital. This occurs both in developed and developing countries with a measure of 7% in developed and 10% in developing countries. According to WHO, as this infection occurs after 48 hours of hospital admission so it prolongs the duration of the admission and it increases the economic burden. There is most common aetiology of nosocomial infections are catheter induced infection, surgical sight infections and ventilation associated infections. According to WHO upper respiratory tract infection is the most common nosocomial infections. Nosocomial pathogens are bacteria, Virus and funguses. Patient acquired this infection through hospital environments and people who are surrounded the patients, so in prevention, discontinuation of the transmission chain is very important. Hospital waste is a possible source of contaminants and 20-25% of the sources are dangerous. Nosocomial infections can be managed by a policy for disease prevention, the use of antibiotics and surveillance about antibiotic resistance and the implementation of antibiotic management policies. A good protocol and surveillance system can reduce the Nosocomial infections. This is a detail review of 5 years on epidemiology, prevention, control and surveillance of Nosocomial infections or Hospital associated infections

Authors: Kirst Simone , Diehm Robert , Bögl Katharina , Wilde-Etzold Sabine , Bach Christiane , Noterdaeme Michele , Poustka Luise , Ziegler Matthias , Dziobek Isabel
Published: November 2020

Objective: Serious games (SGs) are a promising means of fostering socio-emotional skills in children with autism spectrum conditions (ASC). However, alexithymia and emotional empathy have not yet been addressed adequately, and there is a lack of randomized controlled trials (RCT) to investigate skill maintenance and the transfer to functional behavior. Method: The manualized, parent-assisted SG Zirkus Empathico (ZE) was tested against an active control group, in a six-week multicenter RCT. Eighty-two children aged 5-10 years with ASC were assessed at baseline, post-treatment, and three-month follow-up. Parent-rated empathy and emotion recognition skills were defined as the primary outcomes. The secondary outcomes included measures of emotional awareness, emotion regulation, autism social symptomatology (Social Responsiveness Scale), and subjective therapy goals. Results: Training effects were observed after the intervention for empathy (d = 0.71) and emotion recognition (d = 0.50), but not at follow-up. Moderate effects on emotional awareness, emotion regulation, and autism social symptomatology were indicated by the short and mid-term assessments. Parents reported treatment goal attainment and positive training transfer. Conclusion: While a six-week training with ZE failed to induce lasting changes in empathy and emotion recognition, it may be effective for improving emotion regulation and mitigate alexithymia and general autism symptomatology.
A framework of host immune responses against four types of parasitic infections
Authors: Hu Wan-Chung
Published: November 2020

Human host immune responses to parasitic infections are complex. They can be categorized into four immunological pathways against four types of parasitic infections. For intracellular protozoa, the eradicable host immunological pathway is TH1 immunity involving macrophages, interferon gamma (IFNg) CD4 T cells, innate lymphoid cells 1 (ILC1), CD8 T cells, invariant natural killer T cells 1 (iNKT1) cells, and immunoglobulin G3 (IgG3) B cells. For free-living extracellular protozoa, the eradicable host immunological pathway is TH22 immunity involving neutrophils, interleukin (IL)-22/IL-17 CD4 T cells, innate lymphoid cells 3 (ILC3), iNKT17 cells, and IgG2 B cells. For endoparasites (helminths), the eradicable host immunological pathway is TH2a immunity with inflammatory eosinophils (iEOS), IL-5/IL-4 CD4 T cells, IL-25 inducing inflammatory innate lymphoid cells 2 (iILC2), mast cells-tryptase (MCt), iNKT2 cells, and IgG4 B cells. For ectoparasites (parasitic insects and arachnids), the eradicable host immunological pathway is TH2b immunity with inflammatory basophils, mast cells-tryptase/chymase (MCtc), IL-3/IL-4 CD4 T cells, IL-33 inducing nature innate lymphoid cells 2 (nILC2), iNKT2 cells, and immunoglobulin E (IgE) B cells. The tolerable host immunity against ectoparasites and endoparasites is TH9 immunity with regulatory eosinophils, regulatory basophils, IL-9 mast cells (MMC9), thymic stromal lymphopoietin inducing innate lymphoid cells 2, IL-9 CD4 T cells, iNKT2 cells, and IgA2 B cells. This categorization provides a complete framework of immunological pathways against four types of parasitic infections.
Sibling Conflict during COVID-19 in Families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
Authors: Toseeb Umar
Published: November 2020

Young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SENDs) and their families have been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this longitudinal study, sibling conflict in these families during and after the first lockdown in the United Kingdom was investigated. Online questionnaires were completed by 504 parents of young people with SENDs at four-time points between 23rd March 2020 and 10th October 2020 (over half completed the questionnaire at multiple time points). As lockdown progressed, young people with SENDs were more likely to be picked on or hurt by their siblings compared to earlier stages of the lockdown but there was no change in how frequently they harmed or picked on their siblings. After lockdown, both perpetration and victimisation decreased but not to the same rates as the first month of lockdown. Young people with SENDs with severe or complex needs were somewhat protected from sibling conflict. Findings are discussed with reference to implications for support and planning for future pandemics.
Direct Estimation of Diagnostic Classification Model Attribute Mastery Profiles via a Collapsed Gibbs Sampling Algorithm
Authors: Yamaguchi Kazuhiro , Templin Jonathan
Published: November 2020

This paper proposes a novel collapsed Gibbs sampling algorithm that marginalizes model parameters and directly samples latent attribute mastery patterns in diagnostic classification models. This estimation method makes it possible to avoid boundary problems in the estimation of model item parameters by eliminating the need to estimate such parameters. A simulation study showed the collapsed Gibbs sampling algorithm can accurately recover the true attribute mastery status in various conditions. A second simulation showed the collapsed Gibbs sampling algorithm was computationally more efficient than another MCMC sampling algorithm, implemented by JAGS. In an analysis of real data, the collapsed Gibbs sampling algorithm indicated good classification agreement with results from a previous study.
Are COVID-19 conspiracies a threat to public health? Psychological characteristics and health protective behaviours of believers

Published: November 2020

The fast-changing COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to many conspiracy theories, and these have the potential to undermine public health measures and safeguarding behaviours. We conducted three studies before and during the COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom (UK) (n = 302, 404 and 399) to (i) identify the prevalence of COVID-19 conspiracy theories in the UK, (ii) map their socio-psychological predictors, and (iii) investigate their association with health safeguarding behaviours. We found COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs were prevalent (25% of participants endorsed at least one) and predicted by beliefs in unrelated conspiracies, a conspiracy mind-set, distrust in governmental authorities, education, and cognitive reflection. Unexpectedly, COVID-19 conspiracy believers adhered to basic health guidelines both before and after the lockdown as strictly as non-believers (e.g., washing hands, social distancing) and adopted more advanced health protective behaviours not (yet) officially recommended in the UK (e.g., wearing a mask, washing groceries with soap). Conspiracy believers were also more reluctant to install the contact-tracing app, get tested for and vaccinated against COVID-19 because of the perceived risks associated with these procedures. We discuss psychological characteristics that explain the relationship between conspiracy beliefs and people’s behaviours and intentions, and suggest practical recommendations for public health initiatives.
Online Learning in the Face of COVID-19 Pandemic: Assessment of Students’ Satisfaction at Chitwan Medical College of Nepal

Published: November 2020

Background Online learning can play a vital role in the process of teaching and learning during Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, learners’ satisfaction is extremely important in effective implementation of the online learning, especially at institutions where it is newly adopted.

Objective To assess satisfaction towards online learning and its predictors among students at Chitwan Medical College, Bharatpur.

Method A web-based cross-sectional survey was undertaken among 434 undergraduate and postgraduate students from various academic programs who had participated in the online classes started during this COVID-19 pandemic. A structured questionnaire consisting of 31 items (5-point Likert scale) covering four major student satisfaction domains (learners’ dimensions, technological characteristics, instructors’ characteristics and course management and coordination) was distributed to the students using Google Form.

Result More than half (53.5%) of the students were satisfied with the online learning, while 29.7% gave neutral views. Bivariate analyses found that all four domains scores were positively correlated with each other as well as with the students’ overall satisfaction towards learning. In multivariate analysis, female gender [aOR: 2.72, p = 0.013], WiFi as internet modality for learning [aOR: 3.36, p = 0.001) and learners’ dimension score [aOR: 1.27, p<0.001] were the significant predictors of students’ satisfaction.

Conclusion Although recently adopted, the satisfaction of the students towards online classes appears good, and prioritizing the identified predictors and working on the weak links could assist in enhancing students’ satisfaction and better outcomes.

Corporate Social Responsibility in Times of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ter Haar Beryl Philine
Published: November 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused various disruptions in the production chains of Multinational Enterprises (MNEs). Among other disruptions there is a drop of product sales, often due to lock-down measures, which resulted in last-minute order cancellations, non-payment of the already purchased resources and already made products, and hence terminations of employment contracts. International organisations and nongovernmental organisations have called upon MNEs to take their corporate social responsibility (CSR) and honour the contracts. The aim of this article is to analyse to what extend this moral appeal is also a (quasi-)legal appeal following from international norms on CSR. After an assessment of the main labour law problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, an analysis follows on each of the identified problems. The conclusion of the analysis is that MNEs indeed are not only morally obliged to take their responsibility, but also based on the (quasi-)legal international CSR norms.

Published: November 2020

When introducing hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria into oil-polluted soil, along with accelerated destruction of oil, an increase in the species diversity of micromycete complexes was observed . When treating oil-contaminated saline soil with microbial compositions, a more specific complex of micromycetes was formed, which was based on halotolerant species that were resistant to moderate concentrations of oil in the medium at the same time.
A Back-Casting Knowledge Management Vision for a Digital Platform Ecosystem in Support of Thrivable Communities of Knowledge Workers
Authors: Schmitt Ulrich
Published: November 2020

Aim/Purpose
This year marks the 75th anniversary of an article titled ‘As we may think’. It envisioned the ‘Memex’ as a personal device affording the productive use of the accumulated human knowledge. It also allowed for the integration of own augmentations able to be effectively shared with the ‘Memexes’ of others. This article follows up on Vannevar Bush’s still unfulfilled aspiration as well as on current unsustainable Knowledge Management (KM) states. What would be today’s impact and gestalt of such a digital innovation, and how can it be implemented to serve the well-being of humanity?

Background
To answer these questions, we are drafting a Vision for a ‘Memex’-inspired novel decentralized Knowledge Management System. Its aim is to strengthen the capabilities and autonomy of individual knowledge workers to become collaborative contributors to and beneficiaries of institutional and societal performances.

Methodology
The vision elements are rooted in an advanced-stage design science research project and its conceptualization and prototyping of a novel decentralized KM system.

Findings
The new perspective taken accounts for notions of entropy, generativity, trans-disciplinarity, and sustainability and aims for a digital platform ecosystem which affords clients with highly diverse skills and ambitions to gainfully utilize its resources and generative potential in their personal and local contexts.

Impact on Society
With its focus on a sustainable development path to benefit knowledge workers, the back-casting vision methodology applied demonstrates its potential to share the envisaged KM prospects with a wider critical mass of stakeholders as a prerequisite for creating the respective decentralized, more generative KM reality.
