Authors: Tinitana Vicente Mayra Alejandra , Morales Bravo Nicole Janine , Villavicencio Aguilar Carmita Esperanza
Published: March 2023

The objective of this investigation was to determine the factors involved in the development of disruptive behaviors in children related to the parenting styles of their parents during confinement, among 96 students from 5th - 6th grade and their caregivers, through a systematic review, to obtain statistical data, the Family Educational Practices Identification Scale (PEF) and the Positive Parenting Scale (e2p). It is evident how the confinement due to COVID-19 generated high levels of intrafamily conflicts due to the alteration of parenting styles in the family circle and the psychosocial factors immersed in them, such as daily life and social  isolation. Finally, results were evidenced that show a preponderance of an authoritarian and permissive parenting style, which are significant for the development of disruptive behaviors. The confinement generated difficulties such as situations of stress, anxietyand intra-family conflicts, making it impossible for the family to fully develop, improving their daily routines and communication.

Published: March 2023

The review systems of scientific journals decide on papers that represent scientific contributions. In this context, it happens that, after receiving and reading the referees’ comments, and when processing this information emotionally, some new authors either do not find the right way to respond, or when doing so, they divert their focus, generating a sterile discussion with the reviewer, minimizing the chances of acceptance of a text that could have been published. Therefore, this article presents suggestions for a reading focused on the technical-scientific scope of the text, and how to respond to the referees by qualifying the article in question.
The effect of thickness and cement shade on the color match of different CAD-CAM glass-ceramic materials
Authors: Yılmaz Savaş Tuba
Published: March 2023

Aim: This study aimed to assess the impact of the type and thickness of the ceramic and cement color on the targeted shade of glass-ceramics with various chemical compositions.
Methodology: Thirty ceramic specimens were prepared from leucite-reinforced (GC Initial LRF, GC Group) and lithium-disilicate (IPS e.max CAD, EM Group) materials in three different thicknesses (0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, and 1 mm). Four 4-mm-thick substrates were then made from A3-shaded composite resin material to mimic tooth structure and be utilized for cement application. Four shades (Variolink II: transparent, white, yellow, and bleach) of 0.2-mm-thick resin cement were polymerized over these substrates. Next, the specimens were placed over these substrates, and color measurements were applied with a spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade V) leading to 24 group combinations (n=5). The color difference (∆E) readings were obtained in the spectrophotometer's reference shade verification mode by selecting the A2 shade standard. Three-way mixed ANOVA, Tukey HSD, and Bonferroni tests were used for statistical analysis (α=0.05).
Results: The main effects of material, cement, and thickness were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05), as were the interactions of cement×material, cement×thickness, and material×thickness (p < 0.05). However, the material×cement×thickness interaction was not found to be statistically significant (p = 0.568). Regardless of thickness or cement shade, the GC group had a lower mean ∆E value than that of the EM group (p < 0.05). Lower ∆E values were achieved in both materials with a thickness of 1 mm and bleach-shaded cement (p < 0.05). The materials with the greatest mean ∆E values were those with the thickness of 0.5 mm and the transparent shade cement combination (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The thickness and shade of the cement used influenced the final color of the glass-ceramic materials with the same shade and translucency but diverse chemical compositions. When compared to the lithium disilicate glass-ceramic material, the leucite-reinforced feldspathic glass-ceramic material displayed lower color difference values and a better color match with the targeted shade.

Organ donation is heavily influenced by humanistic thoughts and socio-economic factors
Authors:   School of Medicine, Taizhou University, Taizhou 318000, Zhejiang Province, China.
Published: March 2023

Organ donation is affected by a variety of factors, and a single sample source will greatly reduce the reliability of the conclusion. The experimental results without multi-center exploration may need further verification. There may be differences in the educational level of different universities, and there may be large differences in the cognition of students studying in them. Students at high-level colleges may be more likely to accept organ donation, while students at low-level colleges may be less likely to receive organ donation. Confucian culture deeply influences Chinese students' attitude towards donation. What really hinders organ donation are socioeconomic factors, not other factors such as religious beliefs.

Authors:   Consultant Psychiatrist at Brain Care neuropsychiatry center, Nabha, Patiala, Punjab 147201, India, Rajoo Saroj
Published: March 2023

Sociological concept of mental illness is based on assumption that outer environment is directly connected with inner psyche of individuals. Any change in outer environment directly affects the people’s psychological milieu by changing itself. Hence destabilize the environment-psyche ecosystem. Sociological theories play a pivotal role in genesis and management of psychiatric disorders. These theories provide the basic framework for treatment and prevention of mental illness. These theories are foundation for various governments and non-government based preventive programmes for mental illness. Overall, there is need of better understanding of sociological theories and its implication in current day practice for prevention and management of mental disorder.

Authors: Waruwu Martina , Panjaitan Firman
Published: March 2023

Abstract: The formation of children's character starting from an early age is a responsibility that God has entrusted to parents. Parents are the main and first teachers for children in the formation of children's character. This is also taught in the book of Deuteronomy 6:7, which explains that the role of parents in educating and shaping the character of children must be carried out through teaching that is given repeatedly and done every day. By using qualitative methods, especially through literature and exegesis approaches, this study shows that parents must make themselves living role models for their children, especially in developing spiritual values ​​in life. The role of parents as a living role model will result in a child having good habits, then developing into habits and from these habits good character grows in the child. Thus it can be said that education and character building for a child must come from parents and family.
Abstrak: Pembentukan karakter anak yang dimulai dari usia dini merupakan sebuah tanggungjawab yang Tuhan sudah titipkan pada orangtua. Orang tua adalah guru utama dan pertama bagi anak dalam pembentukan karakter anak. Hal ini diajarkan juga di dalam kitab Ulangan 6:7, yang menjelaskan bahwa peran orang tua dalam mendidik dan membentuk karakter anak harus dilakukan melalui pengajaran yang diberikan secara berulang dan dilakukan setiap hari. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, khususnya melalui pendekatan studi pustaka dan eksegese, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa orang tua harus menjadikan diri mereka sebagai teladan yang hidup bagi anak-anak, terutama dalam mengembangkan nilai-nilai kehidupan spiritual. Peranan orang tua sebagai teladan yang hidup akan mengakibatkan seorang anak memiliki pembiasaan yang baik, kemudian berkembang menjadi kebiasaan dan dari kebiasaan ini bertumbuhlah karakter yang baik dalam diri anak. Dengan demikian dapat dikatakan bahwa pendidikan dan pembentukan karakter bagi seorang anak harus berasal dari orang tua dan keluarga.
Health and productivity of dairy cattle in high altitude cold desert environment of Leh-Ladakh: A review
Authors: BHARTI VIJAY K , GIRI ARUP , VIVEK P , KALIA SAHIL
Published: March 2023

The environment is usually attributed as the major climatic factor affecting animal health and production system in all agro-climatic zones. There are various environmental components viz. temperature, radiation, snowfall, wind, precipitation, humidity etc. that impact animal health and productivity. Ladakh is a remote and difficult terrain of India for studying the impact of climate change on livestock production. This area is situated at high altitude, which varies from 10,000 to 12,000 feet from mean sea level (MSL) and temperature range is 35° to -35°C. The atmospheric oxygen pressure is 30% short of MSL. Therefore, this region exhibits hypobaric-hypoxia, extreme cold and dry-arid climate for most of the year, which restrict the growth and productivity of the different livestock populations, including dairy cattle. However, demands are very high for milk and milk products by local people, Indian troops deployed in this region and tourists. Availability of fodder and high altitude stress-induced maladies, mountain sickness (brisket edema), stunted growth, infertility, mastitis pneumonia, etc. severely limits the dairy development, which has increased the gap between supply and demand of dairy products in this region. The impact of climate change on livestock production in Ladakh is a relatively ignored research area. Since the literature on the effect of climate change on dairy cattle productivity in Leh-Ladakh is scarce, therefore, the present article reviewed the available reports and presents authors' own observations on how this climate change impacted on health, production and reproduction of dairy cattle in high altitude cold desert.
Cloning and molecular characterization of fibronectin attachment protein gene (ModD) of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis
Authors: GARG AKSHAY , VERMA RISHENDRA
Published: March 2023

Fibronectin attachment protein (FAP) also known as ModD gene of 987 bp size was identified in the Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) genome. This gene was successfully amplified by PCR using specific primers and MAP genomic DNA template, in the presence of 10% DMSO and glycerol. The PCR product was cloned in pGEMT easy cloning vector and subsequently subcloned into pET-33b expression vector and sequenced. MAP ModD gene showed sequence identity ranging from 64 to 94% at nucleotide level and 47-87% at amino acid level, by WU-BLAST program with FAPs of other Mycobacteria species. MAP ModD gene showed 97% sequence homology with M. avium subsp avium ModD by Megalign tool of DNAStar programme. This strong identity was attributed to the more close genetic association of these two species. MAP ModD protein is mainly composed of beta sheets and is highly antigenic. Positive pETModD recombinant clone was induced with IPTG for expression of the ModD protein. The MAP ModD protein was purified under native condition using nickel affinity column. The expressed recombinant ModD (52 kDa) was confirmed by Western blot with nickel-HRPO conjugate and rabbit hyperimmune serum raised against recombinant ModD.

Published: March 2023

Clitoral stimulation around the time of artificial insemination (AI), which is a simple managerial tool, improves the conception rate (CR) in cattle. Accordingly, an experiment was done to study the effect of clitoral stimulation post-insemination on the modulation of luteinizing hormone (LH) levels and conception rate in the Murrah buffalo. Buffaloes (92) comprising parous (68) and heifers (24) were equally divided into treatment and control groups. Buffaloes in the treatment group were given 30 sec of clitoral stimulation (massage) after AI while no such stimulation was given in the control. There was a significant increase in the pooled LH concentration in the treatment group (6.405±2.64 ng/ml) as compared to control (2.37± 0.838 ng/ml) irrespective of the sampling time. LH level in the treatment group was higher and maximum concentration was observed within 5 h of stimulation. Neither clitoral stimulation nor sampling time significantly affected the levels of serum estradiol. No significant difference was observed between the groups on different sampling days, except day 18 when significantly high levels of progesterone was detected in the treatment group as compared to control. Overall, the CR in the clitoral stimulation group was 1.9 times higher than that of control. Similarly, it was significantly higher in the treated parous buffaloes (67.65%) as compared to control (32.35%).

Authors: M Devindrappa , Singh Bansa , T Basavaraja
Published: March 2023

From this study we could conclude that, resistant cultivars are the single effective solution to the management of root-knot nematode population to avoid crop losses. Also, it is essential to use resistant cultivars in situations where nematodes are present and when control is advantageous to yields. However, the reported moderately resistant cultivars, viz. Gujarat Rajmash, Amber (IPR 96-4) and HUR15 belong to secondary gene pool with cross-compatibility to cultivated common bean. Therefore, it may be further used in the pre- breeding programme for developing resistant common bean cultivars against root knot nematodes.

Published: March 2023

The present study was carried out at Lovely Professional university, Phagwara, Punjab during 2019 to study the performance of okra under irrigation levels and mulching methods under drip irrigation. The treatment comprised of 3 irrigation levels (1.0 ETc, 0.8 ETc and 0.6 ETc) and 5 mulch methods (black plastic mulch, silver plastic mulch, straw mulch, soil mulch and no mulch) laid out in split plot design replicated thrice. The growth and yield attributes were significantly influenced by irrigation levels and mulching methods. The irrigation level I2 (0.8 ETc) significantly exhibited maximum plant height (100.45 cm), number of branches per plant (1.77), and yield per plant (216.59 g) whereas irrigation level I1 (1.0 ETc) recorded maximum pod yield (15.59 tonnes/ha) which is at par with irrigation level I2 (15.36 tonnes/ha). The black plastic mulch was found significantly superior over no mulch treatments in terms plant height, number of branches, pod yield per plant, pod yield (19.09 tonnes/ha). The maximum water use efficiency (0.41 tonnes/ha-cm) was recorded in irrigation treatment I3 and in black plastic mulch (0.46 tonnes/ha-cm). The interaction effect of irrigation and mulching not showed significant difference on pod yield but significantly affected water use efficiency. At interaction effect, the maximum water use efficiency (0.56 tonnes/ha-cm) in combination of I3 and M1. Maximum B:C ratio was recorded in irrigation level I1 (3.49) which is at par with I2 (3.40). Black plastic mulch recorded higher B:C ratio (3.40). The interaction effect did not showed significant effect on B:C ratio. Looking the higher yield of crop, water use efficiency and higher B:C ratio, it can be recommended that okra crop showed good performance under irrigation level I2 and black plastic mulch.

Published: March 2023

The okra fruit borer (Earias vittella) and sucking pests are a key limiting factor in okra cultivation due to their severe crop destruction behaviour. An experiment was conducted during 2019–20 to assess the bioefficacy of various new insecticides and persistence of chlorantraniliprole 18.50 sc residues in okra fruits at research farm of ICAR- Indian Institute of Vegetable Research, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Among various treatments, chlorantraniliprole tested at 30 g a.i./ha was reported to be effective in reducing fruit damage by E. vittella (96%), as well as sucking pests infestation (87.81–1100%) with a significantly higher marketable fruit yield (8.88 t/ha) recorded under open field situations. Ethyl acetate was used to extract the chlorantraniliprole contaminants from the okra fruit matrix, and PSA and magnesium sulphate were used to clean up the matrix. The estimate for the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.01 mg/kg, and the average percent recoveries ranged from 83.67–89.00. The half-life was estimated 1.72 days. Based on the field bioefficacy against insect pests and residue status in okra fruits, it can be concluded that the chlorantraniliprole 30 g a.i./ha can be utilized in the okra ecosystem to successfully manage the sucking pest complex and fruit borer without posing any health risks to consumers.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a drought tolerant oilseed crop with the highest oleic acid content, which isyet to be explored for its hybrid vigour. Therefore, present study was carried at Sri Karan Narendra AgricultureUniversity, Jobner, Jaipur, Rajasthan during 2019–20 and 2020–21 to study the combining ability for 11 seed yieldand its attributing traits in 10 parents and their 45 crosses in sesame. The effects of general combining ability andspecific combining ability on morpo-biochemical attributes of cultivars were studied utilizing half-diallel cross. Theexperiment was conducted using randomized blocks design (RBD) with 3 replications under different environmentalconditions. Significant variations were detected among parents for all of the recorded attributes and the F1 generation also showed significant differences for all recorded attributes. The GCA (General Combining Ability)/SCA (Specialized Combining Ability) variance ratio was found to be less than one, indicating that non-additive gene action predominated for all tested attributes. The parents RT–346, TKG–22, RT–372 and RT–351 emerged as good general combiners for seed yield per plant and its attributes in all environmental conditions. The crosses RT–346 × RT–351, TKG–22 × RT–372, RT–372 × RT–351 and RT–103 × RT–351 emerged as good specific cross combinations for seed yield and oil content. Incorporating F1 hybrids with a high SCA and parents with a high GCA into multiple crossings could also to be a beneficial strategy for improving seed production and oil content in sesame.

This study presents what reflections science teachers express when they shared experiences after trying out a new teaching method in science in an online synchronous professional learning community (PLC), and how they experienced participation in the online PLC. The results indicate that the teachers experienced increased awareness about their own teaching practice. The teachers were comfortable conducting collaborative sessions synchronously online and found that this gave them flexibility in terms of time and their geographical location. However, the support provided by the module was not sufficient to create reflective discussions for all the teachers. This insight is an important contribution, which should be considered to support PLC (online or not) in schools.

SAEB 2021 and the teaching-learning process through ICTs – a positive dialogue in the pandemic context
Authors: Wernek Fabio Reith , Nascimento Jussara Cassiano
Published: March 2023

This article is situated in the context of the practices developed during the pandemic period, when there was a closure of schools in the face-to-face mode and a forced and urgent migration to the remote mode, all over the world. Through the analysis of the data offered by the SAEB before 2021 and the updated data, it is clear that the effort made by the teachers and managers of Colégio Brigadeiro Newton Braga (CBNB) obtained positive results, although recognizing a series of difficulties, among them that of involving as many students as possible with remote teaching, in the initial period of the pandemic. The theoretical and methodological foundation is mirrored in studies by Benjamin (1996), Certeau (1994), Bonamino (2016), Muller (2018), among others. The results indicate that the effort of CBNB teachers and managers to migrate to remote teaching as soon as possible had positive effects. However, we identified that there is still a long way to go in search of a better didactic use of network environments and appropriate use of digital technologies within the institution.

From orality to writing: pantanal reflections
Authors: Rondon Maria Paulina Garcia
Published: March 2023

This work presents some reflections on the teaching of the Portuguese Language based on the theory of Sociolinguistics, in the process of interaction, and diversity, aimed at combating linguistic prejudice when it comes to linguistic variation in public elementary schools in border regions of MS: Porto Murtinho and Corumbá. The border school community, Paraguay, and Bolivia students find it very difficult to enter a new space of enunciation in which a new language is present: the Portuguese language, spoken and taught in schools in Brazil. Dialects are present in the daily life of these immigrant students and to ignore this fact is a prejudiced action and makes them invisible in an inclusive environment. It also reflects the historical, social, and linguistic aspects that are part of the identification process of the Brazilian and immigrant subjects. The study of the PCNs was also the basis of a support tool for the research and planning of the educational practice. This text represents the analysis of the written production of three border students from Paraguay and Bolivia. It seeks to highlight, in one of the texts, the marks of Portuguese/Spanish bilingualism and, in the other, the marks of Portuguese/Spanish/Guarani multilingualism. The analyses performed reveal the existence of linguistic conflicts manifested in the register of the learners' psychological and cognitive processes when using the linguistic codes and mixing them. Theoretical considerations about interference/transference and linguistic inferences served as support for the analysis of the texts produced by the students.

Introduction: The association of dipyrone with agranulocytosis has a variable incidence in different studies. The geographic variety, with risk proportions between 0.8 and 23.7, it can be explained by differences in patterns of use, doses, and concomitant use of other drugs. Methodology: Based on this variation of protocols on the use and release of dipyrone, this paper is a study carried out through a literature review, adding data, studies and research related to dipyrone and the association with cases of agranulocytosis, guiding the reasons why is prohibited, or released only by medical prescription in some countries, and unrestricted in others. Results and discussion: Considering the over-used of metamizole by the brazilian, a higher frequency of cases of agranulocytosis was expected, but this has not been the case. due to the undeniable effectiveness of dipyrone as analgesic and antipyretic, its adverse effects are lower compared to other drugs of the same class, such as paracetamol; In 2010, the Federal Public Ministry requested that dipyrone-based drugs be dispensed with a medical prescription, because their adverse effects, however the request was rejected by ANVISA, who claimed that: the incidence of side effects are low and the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks. Considerations: Based on the studies is noticeable the need for more research, with different populations, ethnicities and ages, aiming at reliable and decisive results for the continuity and/or return of the commercialization and safe supply of metamizole.

Background: The species Megalurothrips usitatus is a thrips insect that has been recorded in Asia, Oceania, Australia and recently in America, attacking legume crops. Objective: to report Megalurothrips usitatus as species associated with flowers of common bean plants in Costa Rica. Methodology: the thrips from three growing bean locations were sampled and characterized through light microscopy in Costa Rica. Furthermore, a phylogenetic analysis of the COI gene compared with the databases of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) was performed. Results: The species was recorded in three bean growing areas (Sardinal of Guanacaste, Estación Experimental Agrícola Fabio Baudrit Moreno in Alajuela and La Managua in Quepos). Implications: the new report of the insect in flowers of Phaseolus vulgaris implies future monitoring actions and respective integrated management; ignoring thrips populations could cause losses in the bean's regional production. Conclusion: the bean flower thrips is reported for the first time in Costa Rica.

A common challenge for most students in intercultural contexts both in their academic studies ‎and future careers is balancing speaking opportunities for talkative and less talkative students. ‎The differences in individuals’ communication styles due to their backgrounds may lead to ‎some concerns about intercultural competencies. In this respect, this study intends to explore the ‎possible relationship between students' confidence in communication levels, their self-‎perception of English proficiency levels, and cultural styles. For this purpose, three ‎questionnaires were carried out by the participation of 106 students at a state university. The ‎obtained data were analyzed by conducting ANOVA tests. The findings indicated that ‎participants have low to medium levels of English proficiency and as their language levels ‎increase, their cultural self-awareness and cross-cultural communication levels increase as well. ‎In addition, there is a significant relationship between their levels of confidence in ‎communication and having outgoing personalities.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness level of the communication skills of the ‎selected participants who were non-native speakers of the English language, and examine its implications ‎for their business skills. A descriptive method of research was utilized and a borrowed questionnaire with slight modifications was administered to 145 students through purposive ‎sampling. The results of the study showed that the majority of the participants have a ‎moderate and high level of effectiveness in terms of their communication skills with 48% and ‎‎31% respectively. However, 21% of the participant showed a low level of communication skills effectiveness. The students who have a high level of effectiveness in ‎their communication skills are interpreted as excellent communicators and those who have a ‎moderate level of effectiveness in communication skills are categorized as able communicators. It implies that the participants can communicate with competence and use ‎them in their various business skills. However, students who have low levels of ‎communication skills need to pay attention to their communication skills so that they can be ‎much more effective.‎

Abstract

Starting from the problem that: Teachers often teach lessons using the lecture method, question and answer so that students feel bored in learning. In the learning process the teacher is active while the students are passive, because student learning is more individual in nature so that the student scores are much below average. Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, it can be seen that the results of the planning cycle I meeting I was 68, meeting II increased to 82 and in cycle II meeting I became 89. The results of teacher and student activities in cycle I meeting I were 69, meeting II increased to 81 and cycle II meeting I became 93. Social studies learning outcomes for class IV SDN 15 Patamuan District can be increased by using the Think Pair Share (TPS) Type Cooperative Model. The average results of the assessment of the two aspects of assessment, namely cognitive and affective, are as follows: Cycle I, meeting I was an average of 62.81 and meeting II, the average rose to 70.93. In cycle II, social studies learning outcomes were an average of 76.87. So by using the Cooperative Model Type Think Pair Share (TPS) social studies learning outcomes of students can be increased.

The application of modern meta-heuristic algorithms for solving complex optimization problems
Authors: Nguyen Thi Tat
Published: March 2023

This paper applies two new meta-heuristic algorithms proposed in 2022 for solving different optimization problems, including the driving training-based algorithm (DTBA) and the average and subtract-based algorithm (ASBA). The considered optimization problems employed in this paper are characterized by different quantities of the dimensions and different involved constraints at various degrees of complexity. The results obtained by the two algorithms are illustrated by three types of convergences, including the minimum, average, and maximum convergences. By analyzing the results obtained by the two applied methods on four different optimization algorithms, DTBA proved itself to be the better applied method over ASBA. Particularly, DTBA has reached the optimal fitness value much faster than ASBA, regardless of how complicated the optimization problem is. From these analyses, DTBA is acknowledged to be the effective algorithm for dealing with the considered optimization problems.

Published: March 2023

This paper proposes a model of effective instruction and intervention for English Learners (ELs) within a Response to Intervention (RTI) framework. First, we review literature on effective instruction for ELs and how RTI can address the needs of these students. Then, we describe the PLUSS model, which integrates research on effective instruction for ELs, tiered models of support, and teacher practices. The model includes the following elements: Pre-teaching critical vocabulary; Language modeling and opportunities to use academic language; Using visuals and graphic organizers; Systematic and explicit instruction; and Strategic use of native language and teaching for transfer. Finally, we provide an example of a PLUSS model lesson for Tier 2 instruction within an RTI framework.
Juvenile Delinquencyamong African-American Males: Implications for Special Education
Authors: Bowman Lisa
Published: March 2023

Juvenile delinquency is a pervasive and costly problem. As a society, we are losing too many youth to substance abuse, gang involvement, and criminal activity. The toll delinquency places on families, educational systems, and social welfare systems costs monetarily and socially. In this article, I review the research literature on juvenile delinquency among African-American males to determine (a) the quantity of research on this topic, (b) the quality of research, and (c) topics that have been investigated in this area. In particular, I sought to determine the degree to which researchers have focused on delinquency within the context of race and disability. In addition, I provide implications for future research with a focus on delinquency and disability.
