Influence of Anterior Segment Swept-source Optical Coherence Tomographic Profiles in the Temporal Decentration of Orthokeratology Treatment Zone
Authors: Nam Yoonsoo , Kim Kyoung Woo
Published: September 2023

Purpose: This study aims to elucidate the factors contributing to the temporal decentration of the orthokeratology lens (OK lens) treatment zone, employing profiles obtained from anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography (AS SS-OCT).Methods: The measurements prior to treatment were taken using AS SS-OCT (Anterion; Heidelberg, Germany) in subjects who had worn OK lenses for at least 2 weeks. The collected data encompassed anterior corneal refractive profiles, corneal thickness profiles, anterior corneal elevation profiles, and anterior corneal aberrations. A comparison was drawn between two groups: the temporal decentration (TD) group and the control (no decentration [ND]) group, based on the presence of temporal decentration of the treatment zone.Results: The analysis included a total of 63 eyes (48 eyes in the ND group and 15 eyes in the TD group) from 33 patients (10.6 ± 2.2 y). No significant differences were observed in axial length, spherical equivalent, and horizontal corneal diameter between groups. However, the TD group exhibited higher values in terms of anterior SimKmean (D), central K (D), and anterior K at temporal and nasal 3.0, 2.0, and 1.0 mm points. Moreover, the TD group displayed a higher horizontal meridian to vertical meridian ratio (H/V K ratio at 4.0 mm diameter) of anterior corneal K at 4.0 mm diameter ring. The ND group showed a higher vertical distance to the maximum corneal power (Kmax y) compared to the TD group. Although high order root mean square aberrations were relatively higher in the ND group, statistical significance was marginally attained (p = 0.047).Conclusions: The temporal decentration of the OK lens treatment zone was determined to be linked with steeper corneal curvature at the central and horizontal meridians, an augmented relative steepness of the horizontal meridian at the 4.0 mm diameter, and a vertical displacement in Kmax on AS SS-OCT.

Published: September 2023

Background: This study is an attempt to analyze the correlation of the impact of the North Atlantic Oscillation( NAO )and Southern Oscillation Index( SOI ) on the climate of Iraq. Method: This has been conducted based on the highest and lowest recorded values of the mentioned oscillations. The values of temperature and rain for the stations of Mosul, Baghdad, Rutba, Basrah and for a major climatic cycle from 1950-2018 were also relied upon. On the statistical analytical approach to find the correlation relationship between the studied oscillations and depending on the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Results: The results brought to light that there is a strong and statistically significant correlation between the oscillations. The time series of oscillations were also analyzed during the fall season, due to the absence of a single effect of oscillations on the studied elements. Therefore, the analysis of the simultaneous behavior of oscillations on the climatic elements during the autumn was relied upon. In the meantime, four cases of simultaneous behavior for selected years of the study were found, recording the highest oscillations’ values. Such four cases were compared with the values of the elements for those years. Conclusion: It became clear from the four cases that there are two cases that show a regular behavior of the influence, as it became clear when the poles are NAO +, SOI - and vice versa that the climatic elements are affected more clearly with the oscillation's indicators and that the climate of Iraq has become more affected by the oscillations.

Published: September 2023

Background: Orange and lemon peels are a type of biomass waste, as the demand for the production of these citrus species and their use in various food industries leads to their significant accumulation in the form of waste. This study was designed so that this waste is recycled to be added to diesel fuel and to verify its suitability as a composite fuel. Method: This study aimed to investigate the thermal combustion behavior of lemon peel powder, LPP, and orange peel powder, OPP biomass composite fuel diesel. The citrus peel was dried and ground to a powder material of 450-750 µm in size, then mixed in different percentages with diesel fuel. Different parameters were controlled to improve the composite fuel characteristic. The pyrolysis experiments of the diesel/citrus composite fuel were conducted in an internal combustion engine. Results: The results showed that the citrus/diesel composite fuel sustains its combustion properties at 30% of the added citrus peel powder, with a reduction of harmful emissions. The results showed that calorific values of diesel containing 30% LPP or 15% LPP + 15% OPP were very close to that of pure diesel. The maximum calorific values were obtained at α = 0.85, 0.80, and 0.90 for 30% OPP, 30% LPP, and 15% OPP + 15% LPP composite fuels respectively. It was found that the addition of homogenization material and combustion activator to the composite fuel raised the maximum temperature of combustion by 230 °C, 200 °C, and 330 °C for 30% OPP, 30% LPP, and 15% OPP + 15% LPP respectively. The TGA analysis of lemon and orange showed that the weight loss has proceeded in three stages, the first at 150°C – 200 °C due to water evaporation, the second at 400 °C due to hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose, and the third at 600 °C due to combustion of fuel material forming carbon residue. Conclusion: The composite fuel without additives showed the highest combustion temperature at about 600 °C, while the maximum combustion temperature for the composite fuel with additives was achieved at 800 °C at a shorter time.

Published: September 2023

Background: The high density of buildings in urban areas faces higher temperature pressures with the reduced greenspace area that can absorb greenhouse gases and be a shade. Efforts to minimize temperature pressure are approached using productive green facades using food plants. This study aims to gain thermal comfort by placing productive facades and as an occupants' food security effort. Methods: Several artificial buildings equipped with productive facades were provided in field trials. Productive facades are pumpkin (Cucubita pepo) and sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L). The research method analyzes the diurnal behavior of temperature and humidity on both productive facade surfaces. Thermal comfort performance was assessed for east and west-facing sunlight. Results: The microclimatic conditions in the field experiment fluctuated; however, the variation supported the growth of the two crops. The pumpkin facade facing east and west produces a cooling effect of as much as 2.30oC, while the sweet potato facade can cause warming and cooling effects of as much as 0.40oC. Morphologically, the pumpkin facade gives a cooling effect more than the sweet potato facade. The two characteristics of pumpkin facades reveal that they can be superior in implementation on both sides of the building and their use in providing additional food for occupants. Conclusions: The placement of the façade facing east and west for certain types of food crops determines the cooling effect of the building.
Climate Change and Its Impact on The Expansion of The Phenomenon of Sand Dunes and Desertification of Agricultural Lands in Iraq for The Period 1984- 2022 (Governorates of Al-Qadisiyah, Al-Muthanna, and Dhi Qar)
Authors:   University of Al-QadisiyahCollege of Arts, Geography department –Iraq, Al-Gurairy Ahmad , Al-Zubaidi Alaa
Published: September 2023

Background: The present research aims to investigate the relationship between the phenomenon of desertification of agricultural lands and the expansion of the phenomenon of dunes in Iraqi Mesopotamia (central and southern Iraq), the phenomenon of global climate change, and the regional policies of the upstream countries neighboring Iraq. Method: The study uses, a monitoring process carried out using the data of satellite images of the Landsat series, for the period from 1984 to 2022, by ArcGIS program, with the tool of supervised classification. Results: Obviously, the danger of climate change and its effects on Iraq is shown in the results of this study, which showed that the fertile agricultural lands that were deserted constituted about 45% of the total lands until July 2022, including (16.67% of the total region) dunes or heavily decertified lands. The percentage of cultivated agricultural lands has deteriorated to 42%, a very serious decline compared to 1998 when the rate was more than 80%. Moreover, the most dangerous environmental situation right now is represented by the loss of more than half of its water bodies, as it currently (2022) constitutes only 12.47% of the study area, while it represented 26.9% of the study area in 1984. Conclusion: Based on the study results, we find out the annual precipitation rates are the climatic factor strongly affecting, the decline or expansion of the phenomenon of dunes, besides the neighboring country policies (Türkiye and Iran)
Ying Chen, une certaine manière d’être aux langues

Ying Chen, a Certain Way of Being in Languages

ABSTRACT: The language history of Ying Chen, a multilingual and itinerant French-speaking writer presents a certain way of being to languages. It reveals an inclusive approach to the appropriation of languages, a vision that brings together linguistic mobility and spatial mobility, new passages between languages and everyday life, between languages and writing. Through a selected corpus of the author’s texts, I want to show how the analysis of her language path can help to shed light on the processes of access to foreign languages with their discontinuity and detours. How stories of experience, through their reflexivity and subjectivity, promote awareness of plurality and otherness and are part of a process of decentralisation, of understanding oneself and the other.

RÉSUMÉ : L’histoire langagière de Ying Chen, écrivaine francophone plurilingue et itinérante présente une certaine manière d’être aux langues. Elle révèle une approche inclusive de l’appropriation des langues, une vision qui fait converger mobilité linguistique et mobilité spatiale, des passages inédits entre langues et vie quotidienne, entre langues et écriture. Au travers d’un corpus choisi de textes de l’auteure, je souhaite montrer comment l’analyse de son parcours langagier peut contribuer à éclairer les processus d’accès aux langues étrangères avec leur discontinuité et leurs détours. Comment les récits d’expérience, par leur réflexivité et leur subjectivité, favorisent la prise de conscience de la pluralité et de l’altérité et s’inscrivent dans une démarche de décentration, de compréhension de soi et de l’autre.

The Cardinal Numeration in Casamance Creole:  Morphosyntactic Uses and Money Counting System 

ABSTRACT: Even if more than 50% of its lexicon comes from Portuguese, the Casamance Creole is now an autonomous linguistic system. This autonomy is also manifested in the field of numeration. Like many African languages, the numeration of Casamance Creole is based on an oral basis due to the absence of writing. The presentation of the numeral system, of which we will make case, will be limited only to the presentation of the cardinal numbers and counting numeration. This study is part of the problem of numeration and languages with an oral tradition and is concerned with its importance in the achievements of the numeration of languages in contact.

RÉSUMÉ : Même si plus de 50% de son lexique proviendrait du portugais, le créole casamançais à aujourd’hui un système linguistique autonome. Cette autonomie se manifeste aussi dans le domaine de la numération. A l’image de bon nombre de langues africaines, la numération du créole casamançais repose sur une base orale due à l’absence de l’écriture. La présentation du système numéral, dont nous ferons cas, se limitera uniquement à la présentation des nombres cardinaux et à la numération comptable. La présente étude s’inscrit dans la problématique de la numération et langues à tradition orale et se préoccupe de son importance dans les acquis de la numération des langues en contact.

Writing between Languages in the Light of Cultural Identity: Translation Examines the Dibian Collective Creation

ABSTRACT: This paper investigates and examines the collective writing strategy of the Franco-Algerian writer, Mohammed Dib, in one of his distinctive novels that was written in French, Neiges de Marbre (2003).  Dib’s novel is set on the edge of different languages and cultures, in other terms, at the heart of heterolinguism which paves the way to question the future pattern of the latter in Arabic literary translation. This research will therefore rely on literary theories that were introduced and refined by academics such as Rainier Grutman (1992, 2012), and Laté Lawson- Hellu (2003, 2004) so as to discuss how translation tendencies adopted by Mohammed Sari (2011) oscillate between avantgardist translation and homogenizing translation.

RÉSUMÉ : Le présent article se propose d’examiner la création plurielle dans l’œuvre romanesque d’expression française de l’écrivain algérien, Mohammed Dib qui s’intitule : Neiges de Marbre (2003). Ce roman se situe à la lisière de différentes langues-cultures, autrement dit, au cœur de l’Hétérolinguisme, ce qui nous amène à nous interroger sur le devenir de ce dernier en traduction littéraire. Nous nous attachons à élucider cette problématique à la lumière des recherches de Rainier Grutman (1992, 2012) et de Laté Lawson-Hellu (2003, 2004) pour arriver à dire que les tendances de traduction adoptées par Mohammed Sari (2011) dans la version arabe de ce roman oscillent entre traduction avant-gardiste et traduction homogénéisante.

The Expression of the Body in Une difficile fin de moi by Ahmed Zitouni

ABSTRACT: The body writing is at the same time the essence and the matter, the substance and the form, the subject and the object, the heart and the reason of Zitouni’s emblematic novel: Une difficile fin de moi. The narrator unfolds his body through the speech of his memory, and the writing itself becomes living and mortified flesh by the very peculiar enunciative situation of a crumbling and disappearing man through his narrative, thus he sacrifices himself in order for his story to survive and his past to finally have a value.

RÉSUMÉ : L’écriture du corps est à la fois l’essence et la matière, le fond et la forme, le sujet et l’objet, le cœur et la raison du roman emblématique de Zitouni : Une difficile fin de moi. Le narrateur déploie son corps à travers le discours de sa mémoire, et l’écriture elle-même devient vivante et meurtrie par la situation énonciative très particulière d’un homme qui s’effrite et disparaît au fil de la narration, et qui se sacrifie pour que son histoire survive et que son passé ait enfin de la valeur

Published: September 2023

This study investigated the plasma profile of Pregnancy Associated Glycoproteins (PAGs) after lambing in Konya Merino ewes using specific cattle pregnancy test kit. A total of 16 Konya Merino ewes were used as a material. Four groups were set up, ewes birthing a male lamb (SM group, n=4), a female lamb (SF group, n=4), twin male lambs (TM group, n=4) or twin female lambs (TF group, n=4). Blood plasma samples were taken on days 0 (lambing day), 3, 7, 10, 14 and then weekly until day 35. All samples were analysed using a bovine pregnancy test kit to detect of PAGs level. It was determined that there was a strong negative correlation between PAGs levels in peripheral blood and days after lambing (r2=0.969; P<0.01). However, no relationship was found between PAGs level and lamb gender or birth type. In conclusion, plasma PAGs level decreases rapidly in Konya Merino ewes regardless of lamb gender and birth type. Moreover, the results showed that the plasma profile of PAGs after lambing in Konya Merino ewes can be monitored with a bovine commercial ELISA–based pregnancy test kit, and the test results can be used in decisions and assessments based on the levels of PAG molecules.

Published: September 2023

Bu çalışma, birinci sınıf biyoloji ve kimya öğretmeni adaylarının modern genetik öğrenme anlayış düzeylerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, betimleyici bir tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcılarını 18'i biyoloji ve 16'sı kimya olmak üzere toplam 34 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada, Duncan ve diğerleri (2009) tarafından geliştirilen modern genetik öğrenme progresyonu çerçevesine dayalı çoktan seçmeli maddeler kullanılmıştır. Çerçeve, bilimsel akıl yürütmeden mevcut olmayan akıl yürütmeye kadar beş seviyede puanlanan modern genetik öğrenmeyle ilgili 16 yapıdan oluşacak şekilde ele alınmıştır. Katılımcılardan elde edilen veriler, modern genetik anlama düzeylerini belirlemek için hem nicel hem de nitel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular katılımcıların B (bilgi kaynağı olarak genler), C1 (Proteinler hücrenin işlerini yapar), E (genetik materyalin fiziksel geçişi) ve F1 (genotip fenotip arasındaki ilişki) yapılarından en yüksek puanları aldıklarını göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte, A1 (Genetik bilginin evrenselliği), D (Hücreler farklı genleri ifade eder), F2 (olasılığa dayalı örüntüler), F3 (Moleküler ve Mendel modelleri arasındaki ilişki) ve J (Bir organizmanın yaşamı boyunca gen ifadesi değişebilir) yapılarına yönelik kavramsal anlamalarının oldukça düşük olduğunu göstermiştir. Çalışma, mevcut öğretim yöntemlerinin etkililiği hakkında fikir vermekte ve geleceğin biyoloji ve kimya öğretmenlerini daha iyi hazırlamak için iyileştirmelerin yapılabileceği alanları vurgulamaktadır. Çalışma ayrıca öğrencilerin moleküler, genetik ve mayotik modeller arasındaki ilişkiyi anlamakta zorlandıklarını göstermekte ve öğrencilerin genetik bilgi hakkında bilimsel olarak akıl yürütebilmek için bu modeller arasındaki ilişkiyi anlamaları gerektiğini öne sürmektedir.

Authors: Do Thi Thu , Pham Bich Diep , Nguyen Tuan Anh , Nguyen Thi Diem Huong , Kim Bao Giang
Published: September 2023

Background: Dementia is one of the main causes of disability and dependency in the elderly; However, the rate of patients with undetected dementia is still quite high. This study aims to describe barriers to dementia examination among people over 50 in some provinces of Vietnam and analyze some affecting factors. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was constructed on 411 people over 50 years old in 8 provinces in Vietnam We used a pre-designed questionnaire with the Likert scale to explore barriers to dementia examination. Results: The rate of people over 50 in the community knowing barriers to examination and detection of dementia is 27.6%. Among the barriers, the economy is most well-known to people. We also find out that there is an association between education and religion on barriers to dementia examination. Recommendation: Promoting communication to raise people’s awareness of dementia so that they can actively screen for this disease. In addition, the government should have free health programs for at-risk and economically disadvantaged groups for timely dementia detection and treatment. Keywords: People over 50 years old; barriers; dementia
Language and Modernism (on Works by Petko Todorov)
Authors:   South-West University “Neofit Rilski”, Rakyovski Tsvetan
Published: September 2023

The article analyses the language of Petko Todorov's idylls and dramas. In the opinion of early twentieth-century reviewers, these works are distinguished by an artificial language that in many places becomes incomprehensible. The reasons are rooted in two factors – deliberately archaic vocabulary and confused syntax. Petko Todorov uses a huge number of Turkish words, mistakenly believing that they will create a vernacular sound to the narrative or dramatic action. On the other hand, he reworks the structure of his sentences, and very often they end with a verb. These two strategies (to give way to archaic, obsolete words) and to slow down the action by aggravating the syntax, result in a blurring of meaning because the archaic words are no longer familiar to the rehearser, and because no one speaks like the characters of idylls and dramas like The Masons or The Marriage of Smay.
Kants teleologische Überlegungen zur Menschenwürde in der Vorlesung über Naturrecht Feyerabend
Authors: Moledo Fernando
Published: September 2023

In this paper I deal with an argument for the foundation of human dignity that Kant sketches in the introduction to his lecture Feyerabend on natural law (1784). After presenting very briefly Kant's discussion of Achenwall's concept of value I argue that the starting point of the argument on human dignity that Kant develops in the introduction to the lecture is teleological. I discuss then the problems that such a starting point inevitably entails regarding Kant´s practical philosophy and offer an explanation as to why Kant was able to include this argument in the introduction to his lecture despite the problems it raises. Finally I claim that despite these problems the central idea of the argument reflects a fundamental idea of Kant's thought on human dignity. In support of the latter I refer to the fact that Kant turns to the same central idea of the argument some years later in his discussion of teleology developed in the Critique of Judgment (1790).
Razão de Verdade e Razão de Existência na Nova Dilucidatio de Kant
Authors: Von Saltiel Eduardo Ruttke
Published: September 2023

No presente artigo, buscamos apresentar por que a Nova Elucidação dos Primeiros Princípios do Conhecimento Metafísico [PND] é um documento importante para compreender o desenvolvimento da filosofia kantiana. Isso ocorre ao mostrarmos como o texto, ao incorporar teses próximas de autores como Leibniz, Wolff, Crusius e Baumgarten, gera tensõees internas à argumentação de Kant. Isso aparecerá, especialmente, no modo como Kant articula uma nova demonstração da existência de Deus, ao mesmo tempo que sustentava que todas as verdades são regidas pelo princípio de identidade. Assim, sucessivamente, distinguiremos as chamadas razõees antecedente e consequentemente determinantes introduzidas pela PND; investigaremos as relações entre razão de verdade e razão determinante; veremos como se relacionam razão de existência e ente necessário; e apontaremos para a tensão existente entre razão de verdade e razão de existência na PND.

Partindo da “Doutrina do Direito”, segunda parte da Metafísica dos Costumes, de Kant, o texto aborda a necessidade de se introduzir questões substantivas para uma teoria da justiça que se pretenda efetiva. Desta forma, a primeira parte do texto (1) efetua uma exposição geral dos principais aspectos da doutrina kantiana do Direito. A segunda parte do texto (2) aborda aspectos gerais da Teoria da Justiça como Equidade (TJE), de John Rawls, problematizando o procedimentalismo ou da chamada justiça procedimental como sendo a mais adequada a uma concepção de justiça que se pretenda efetiva. Nota-se certa derivação no pensamento de Rawls a esse respeito, desde Uma teoria da justiça até os textos mais recentes, como Liberalismo político e Justiça como equidade – uma reformulação.

Tendencia y desafíos de la regulación de la economía social y solidaria en México
Authors: González Rivera Tatiana Vanessa
Published: September 2023

Desde muchas perspectivas se ha escrito sobre el llamado enfoque de la economía social y solidaria o también conocida como la otra forma de hacer economía; sin embargo, las contribuciones legales, al menos en México, han sido menores. En consecuencia, este artículo se une a los pocos esfuerzos destinados en demostrar el progreso legislativo en la economía social y solidaria, en donde se destacan los éxitos y fracasos, tanto del reconocimiento constitucional que el sector ha recibido en la Norma Fundamental, como en la Ley reguladora. Esto permitirá determinar si se enfrenta a una ley efectiva que no sólo puede hacer visible el sector, sino también buscar su desarrollo y expansión nacional, especialmente en tiempos de crisis social y económica en un país como México, que necesita observar y seguir nuevas alternativas de desarrollo.

Authors: Zhu Fulai , Xu Peiyu , Zong Jiahao
Published: September 2023

Moore's Law is a concept that notes the doubling of the number of transistors on a microchip around every two years, resulting in exponential advancement in computing power and diminishing costs. However, as transistor sizes have approached the physical limits of silicon-based technology, maintaining this pace of growth has become increasingly challenging. As a result, researchers have been exploring alternative solutions, such as System-in-package(SiP), Chiplets, Non-volatile memory, Biocomputing, quantum computing, and photonics. While these technologies are still in the early stages of development, they offer promising solutions to the challenges facing the continued growth of computing power. As we continue to explore new avenues for technological advancement, we may find that Moore's Law continues to hold true in unexpected and exciting ways.

Authors: DEMİREL BAYIK Gülçin , BAYKAL Busenur
Published: September 2023

In this study production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from collard greens were optimized by the design of experiments (DOE). A 24 full factorial design was employed to evaluate the effects on two responses. The optimized values for AgNP production were 1:7 leaf to water, 1:4 extract to AgNO3, 5 molar AgNO3, and a leaf size of <1 mm. For dye removal efficiency, the optimized values were changed to 1:15 of leaf to water and 1:10 of extract to AgNO3, while the other two parameters remained the same. SEM (scanning electron microscopy) showed that optimizing the process for dye removal led to smaller AgNP production with increased surface area, resulting in higher absorbency. ANOVA (analysis of variance) tables were used to interpret each parameter's main and effects on interaction. Additionally, reaction rate kinetics were estimated, and dye removal showed a slightly higher R-square of pseudo second-order than NP production, which fits the pseudo first-order reaction model.

Published: September 2023

This study examines the differences in tourism experience in Gyeongju, a domestic historical and cultural tourist destination, between generations (MZ generation/ X generation) as follows. First, it was found that the X generation had a higher positive perception of the learning experience than the MZ generation. Second, aesthetics are the most recognized factor among tourism experience factors by both the MZ generation and the X generation, and the MZ generation recognized the aesthetics of Gyeongju tourist attractions more than the X generation. Third, in the case of novelty, the MZ generation recognized novelty more through Gyeongju tourism than the X generation. Finally, the enjoyment felt through tourism in Gyeongju was recognized higher by the MZ generation than by the X generation. Through the presentation of implications through the results of these studies, it is expected to be used as basic data for research on differences in tourism experiences in historical and cultural tourism sites between generations, and practical data applicable to local governments, related public institutions, and tourism industry-related operators.

This study aimed to investigate the accumulation of heavy metals in wild birds inhabiting marine and coastal national parks in Korea. From February to September 2021, wild bird carcasses were collected from islands in the southern West Sea of Korea: Heuksando, Chilbaldo, Hongdo, Daedundo, Northern West Sea: Mongsanpo Coast and Oeyeondo, and Eastern South Sea: Hongdo, Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do. A total 85 wild bird carcasses from 40 species in 20 families were analyzed for heavy metal concentration including lead, arsenic, chromium, cadmium, manganese, nickel, copper, and zinc. The levels of copper, cadmium, arsenic, lead, and manganese showed significant differences among each species, and each avian species that has over five carcasses collected exhibited the correlation between the species. The analysis between species with similar habitats but ecologically different showed that the concentration of heavy metals measured in this study was comparable or relatively low compared to the previous studies. This study would provide fundamental data to understand the extent of heavy metal exposure in wild birds and its impact on wild birds.
Evaluation of Distribution Models for Biological Species in National Parks: Focused on Brachydiplax chalybea flavovittata Ris, 1911 (Insecta: Odonata)
Authors:   Korea National Park Service National Park Research Institute, Kwon Soon Jik , Kim Tae Geun
Published: September 2023

This study aims to provide useful information for the conservation and management of Brachydiplax chalybea flavovittata (Ris, 1911) (Insecta: Odonata), which is a climate-sensitive biological indicator species, and to develop a more accurate and optimal distribution model that aligns with the research objectives. To achieve this, we intend to evaluate two factors that influence the prediction accuracy of the distribution model. In order to compare the prediction accuracy of the models based on biased location data in a specific region and based on the multicollinearity of environmental variables known as bioclimatic variables, the confirmed habitat locations of B. chalybea flavovittata were collected from the GBIF database, and 19 biological climate variables used as environmental variables were collected from the Worldclim database. The bias of the location data was examined using four types of data selected with a certain distance between the location data. The multicollinearity of the environmental variables was assessed using the Variation Inflation Factor (VIF). Preprocessed data were applied to seven species distribution models, and the prediction accuracy of the models was compared and analyzed using three evaluation metrics (Kappa, TSS, AUC). Among machine learning and regression models, seven distribution models were used for comparison. The machine learning models included Boosted Regression Trees (BRT), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Classification and Regression Trees (CART), and MaxEnt, while the regression models included Generalized Linear Models (GLM) and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS). Overall, the prediction accuracy of the models was better explained by the Random Forest (RF) model, which is a machine learning method that better captures the complex relationship between species and environmental variables, compared to other models. The bias of location data, which is more commonly surveyed in easily accessible areas, affected the prediction accuracy in all models, while multicollinearity varied depending on the model. This study is expected to serve as fundamental guidance for developing an optimal species distribution model that aligns with the research objectives of species conservation and it can be utilized as foundational data for effective management of wildlife habitat in national parks.
Relationship between lifelong learning characteristic and lifelong learning tendency among adult learners in Malaysia
Authors: Abiddin Norhasni Zainal
Published: September 2023

Adult learners, in particular, must possess lifelong learning (LLL) skills to prepare for their future endeavours. Knowing their strengths in LLL characteristics is crucial for them as it allows better understanding of their learning strengths. There are studies that suggest adult learners do not engage enough in LLL as their learning style. This may conflict with their characteristic of being independent learners, which involves a continual process of learning in order to be able to maintain themselves. It is therefore the purpose of this study to investigate the relationship between LLL characteristics and LLL tendency among adult learners in higher education institutions in Malaysia. It also aims to investigate any moderating effect from demographic data, gender and academic background. The data were collected through an online survey and analysed using SPSS with a 95% response rate. The statistical analysis used for the analysis includes descriptive and inferential analysis of multiple linear regression analysis and moderating analysis. The result indicates that there is a medium positive relationship between LLL characteristics and LLL tendency. In terms of the moderator, gender and academic background do not affect the relationship in any way. This study may benefit stakeholders, especially management, in ensuring that adult learners can maximize their potential to adopt continuous learning practices.
Strategies for enhancing the resilience of rural teachers from the perspective of Chinese rural school principals, in the post-pandemic period
Authors: Hong Zikun
Published: September 2023

The impact of pandemic control measures on student education in rural areas of China, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by educators. With the adoption of diverse pedagogical methods like online education during the pandemic, little attention has been given to the specific struggles of teachers in rural regions. The pandemic has exacerbated existing issues, leading to an alarming increase in rural teacher attrition. High turnover rates have detrimental effects on educational excellence, school culture, and the overall cohesion of educational institutions. Furthermore, the costs incurred to recruit and train new instructors in impoverished or remote communities pose additional challenges. As China lifts COVID-19 restrictions in 2022, a pivotal moment emerges for the advancement of rural education. To address challenges and support early-career teachers’ resilience, a comprehensive understanding of the rural educational environment is crucial. By prioritizing the well-being and needs of new teachers, education leaders can provide effective support and resources in the post-pandemic era, leading to a more optimistic scholastic atmosphere and improved student achievement.
