A comparative study of gender representation in junior high school EFL textbooks of Hong Kong and Japan
Authors: Yim Dexter , Lee Rolian
Published: November 2023

This study aims to investigate the representation of gender and the presence of male dominance in spoken discourse in two selected English Language textbooks for junior high school year one students: Longman English EDGE (2nd Edition) 1A and 1B in Hong Kong, and New Horizon: English Course Book 1 in Japan, respectively. This research employs both qualitative and quantitative analyses to examine the content of dialogues in each unit. Key areas of analysis include the number of domestic and occupational roles assigned to male, female, and gender-neutral characters, the range of activities undertaken by these characters, the character initiating conversations, the occurrence of males, females and gender-neutral characters in dialogues, and the number of spoken words and turns by them. The findings indicated an improvement in gender equality in both textbooks in various aspects, compared with other earlier textbooks which were examined by other researchers (Lee & Collins, 2008, 2010; Lee, 2018). In terms of role allocation and activities, a relatively balanced representation of male and female characters was observed. Female characters demonstrated a higher frequency of initiating conversations and taking turns. The average number of words spoken per turn by male and female characters was similar in the LE1A and LE1B textbooks, but male characters still spoke more per turn in NH1 textbook despite female characters taking more turns. Moreover, LE1A and LE1B employed gender-neutral names to mitigate gender stereotypes but gender-neutral names were not utilized in the Japanese textbook, despite the author’s effort to achieve gender equality. Considering these findings, this study reveals that male characters were underrepresented in the textbooks in Hong Kong and suggests that it is crucial to enhance gender awareness among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers, provide explicit gender-sensitive instruction, and establish specific guidelines by educational authorities to assist textbook authors in creating gender-inclusive educational materials.
Use of prebriefing in simulation-based experience for nursing education: a scoping review
Authors: Chan Hoi Man , Wong Suet Lai , Yau Sui Yu , Chan Shi Hang
Published: November 2023

Embracing innovative pedagogies and structured pre-simulation activities in healthcare simulation enhances learning and clinical performance. The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) and the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) propose a three-phase approach of prebriefing, simulation-based experiences and debriefing. This scoping review explored the impact of prebriefing pedagogies, aiming to enhance nursing students’ chances of success in simulation-based learning experiences.

This scoping review encompassed the existing literature on simulation in nursing education, specifically focusing on prebriefing strategies.

The existing literature revealed variations in the contexts, educational concepts, prebriefing pedagogy and outcome measures employed in simulation-based experiences. None of the studies established a correlation between dependent variables and prebriefing pedagogy strategies. Instead, most studies utilized a combination of dependent variables to measure the correlated aspects of prebriefing, namely personal development and engagement.

The recognized prebriefing strategies serve as valuable resources for nurse educators when designing the prebriefing phase of a simulation-based experience.
Relationship between Climate Variables (Rainfall and Temperature) and Ginger Yield Across the Climate Belts of Nigeria
Authors: N N Okoye , M O Nwagbara , V E Weli
Published: November 2023

Rainfall and temperature are very important elements and factors of weather and climate needed in the successful production of crops, including ginger. The relationship of these elements and ginger yield has not been given the due attention in Nigeria. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between Climate (Rainfall and Temperature) and Ginger Yield across the Climate Belts of Nigeria. Rainfall and Temperaturedata were obtained for the study from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), Abuja while ginger yield data were collected from the experimental farms of National Root Crops Research Institute (NRCRI), Umudike, Agricultural Development Programme (ADP) and Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, Abuja. These data covered a period of 40 years (1980 -2019) and were analysed using simple linear regression, correlation and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Results obtained showed thatrainfall and temperature significantly predicted ginger yield across the four climate belts at p<0.05:Tropical Monsoon(TM) (F,12.0934)and jointly explained 45.2% of variation in ginger yield(r=.672and the R2=.452);Tropical Savanna (TS)(F,17.3452)and jointly explained 35.6% of variation in ginger yield (r = .597 and R2= .356);Warm Semi-Arid (WSA) (F,24.9501)and jointly explained 20.9% of variation in ginger yield (r= .457 and R2= .209); and Warm Desert (WD)(F,29.8517) and jointly explained 30.1% of variation in ginger yield(r =.549 and R2= .301).Based on these results, it is concluded here that there is a significant relationship between rainfall and temperature and ginger yields over the years and across the climate belts. The study recommends among others that planting and harvesting of ginger by farmers should align with the seasons as found in each of the four climate belts.
Inkling: Thinking about Ink
Authors: Balfour Barbara
Published: November 2023

Something about the haptic and visual qualities of ink.

Something about ink moving from matrix to substrate.

Something about how printmakers are drawn to ink.

It’s an inkling I have…

I want to focus on a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of printmaking, namely ink. Returning to the studios after months of remote learning, students in one of my print media courses were struck by the physical presence of ink on paper. Drawn to actually touch the printed ink film, they wanted to confirm the physical and sensuous qualities they perceived through sight.

The fact of ink on paper might seem too obvious to mention, yet I have an inkling that it is worth revisiting and re-examining ink’s haptic qualities and materiality in addition to, or even apart from, its visual presence. I believe an examination and articulation of the physicality, tactility, and malleability of ink – its inkiness, even its sheer messiness – is worthy of study.
Between the Pen and the Line: Digital Drawing and the Feeling of Alienation and Distance
Authors: Schrøder Tiril
Published: November 2023

As an artist I work mainly with digital drawing tools, but I also have this feeling of alienation towards digital drawing: As an artist educated around the 80s/90s, the classic analog drawing is the basis for my understanding of both analogue anddigital drawing, and my experience with the digital drawing tools is filtered through this early training. 

In my research I have been testing various digital hardware and software to see how they work, and what kind of results they make. In my presentation I will look at the different quality of lines various hardware and software makes, show some of my line tests from different digital technology and reflect on my own drawing process. I will also reflect on my experience when working with digital tools and the experience I get from the finished works. The presentation will be illustrated with my own digital drawings made specially as part of my research.

Drawing is an act traditionally done with a drawing tool held in the hand to make a line on a surface. Basically, the physical action - the gesture itself - is the same, whether I draw analog or digital: I hold the pen in the same way, move my hand and arm in the same way.  But what exists between the hands gesture, the tip of the pen and the resulting line, is different in analog and digital drawing, and the line itself is also different. The digital drawing tools add their own qualities to the lines and the drawings.    

I will look at some of the differences I experience between digital and analog drawing: I see digital drawing both as a sort of drawing among many others, and at the same time as something completely different, it adds something other than traditional drawing tools.
DO HISPANIC CULTURAL ACTIVITIES IMPROVE THE ACADEMIC SUCCESS OF STUDENTS IN SPANISH COLLEGE CLASSES?
Authors: Chavez Yesenia
Published: November 2023

According to previous research, there is a relationship between language and cultural identity. It is also believed that including cultural identity in our teaching curriculum can improve our student’s interest in the subject matter we teach, improve the student’s teamwork abilities, create more open-minded students, improve student’s empathetic feelings towards each other and it could also promote safety and confidence in our classes (Mercurri, 2012; Marks, 2021). Furthermore, Peng (2017) also considers that cultural identity may promote language learning, may improve bidialectal relationships and it may also increase the idea of belonginess to a specific group. This research will answer the following question: does the use of cultural activities affect the academic success in college Spanish classes? 11 classes participated with a total of 146 participants in Spanish college classes in a college in southeast Texas. The results show that 64 percent of the classes who participated improved their total average grade when compared to the non-treatment class. Therefore, we recommend the inclusion of Hispanic Cultural activities in Spanish college classes.
ECT as a Useful Treatment Strategy for Difficult-totreat FTD: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Chawla Kritika , Tripathi Adarsh , Agrawal Aditya
Published: November 2023

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) defines a heterogeneous group of clinical syndromes marked by the progressive, focal neurodegeneration of the frontal and anterior temporal lobes. The variety of presentations causes special diagnostic difficulties that can have a major negative influence on patient care and advice for carers regarding the clinical status and prognosis. To differentiate FTD from other psychiatric disorders, a combination of clinical assessment, neurological examinations, and imaging tests such as MRI or PET scans are used. It is important to rule out other potential causes of cognitive impairment, such as vitamin deficiencies, infections, or tumours. A neuropsychological evaluation can also help identify patterns of cognitive deficits typical of FTD.
Here we present a case of a 58-year-old male in whom diagnoses were revised multiple times before finally reaching the diagnosis of Frontotemporal dementia. In the course of his illness, he developed catatonic symptoms and marked agitation which were not improving on antipsychotics and oral/iv Lorazepam. ECT was started and the patient showed improvement in catatonic symptoms, repetitive behaviour, agitation, and sleep disturbance. The patient became calm and manageable although he still required assistance in performing ADL.

Published: November 2023

The objective of this work was to identify the effect of nitrogen rates on Bt transgenic resistance and damage caused by Spodoptera frugiperda in corn plants at different developmental stages. The experimental design was a randomized complete block in a 3x6 factorial arrangement, with three potassium rates (0, 80, and 160 kg ha-1 kg of N) and six corn hybrids (20A55Hx, 30A77PW, AG1051, MG652PW, NS90VTPro2, and NS92VTPro), with three replicates. The data were analyzed through the analysis of canonical variables. Nitrogen doses interfere directly with the tolerance and resistance conferred by the Cry proteins of the plants in corn hybrids, altering the control of the caterpillar Spodoptera frugiperda and possibly favoring the breakdown of resistance in low availability. The corn hybrids showed divergent performance regarding proteins under low nitrogen availability (0 and 80 kg ha-1), and it was impossible to state which would be the most efficient protein. However, pyramiding has greater control under the recommended dose (160 kg ha-1 of N), with damage in the opposite direction to the transgenics.
Рroblems of women in the water sector of Kyrgyzstan: a short review
Authors:   Kazakh-German University, Begishbek kyzy M.
Published: November 2023

The aim of the study is to attract the main problems of women in the water sector of Kyrgyzstan through a brief overview. Formally, in modern Kyrgyz legislation, there are no barriers and restrictions to women's participation in all spheres of life. However, in practice, some of them are declarative and they do not involve the involvement of either financial or organizational resources for their implementation. In the water sector of Kyrgyzstan, the total number of specialists is 5063 people, 956 of them are women, which is 19% of the total number. The management of water sectors and departments is also highly trusted by men. Men’s migration impacts the societal fabric of rural regions, with men of workforce age being abroad and women left alone to take care of agricultural work, children’s education, and care of the elderly. The international donors are studying women's rights in the water legislation, women's participation in decision-making on the example of water user associations, and local problems related to water supply and drinking water quality, depending on the specific case, that helps improve their situation in the water sector. Currently, Kyrgyz women view their position in society not from the point of view of their exclusive role in the family, but from the point of view of economic, social, and political significance. However, self-doubt and limited opportunities of women, especially young ones, force them to remain inactive even in the most critical situations.

Dos grunhidos da tortura aos ecos da resistência na poesia de Pedro Tierra
Authors: Procópio Ramon Álvaro Sabino , Martinelli Filho Nelson
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar, na obra poética de Pedro Tierra, os impactos da tortura e das agruras provocadas intencionalmente pelos militares, além de fomentar a compreensão sobre os movimentos libertários cunhados na escrita de poesia no contexto do cárcere – especificamente a partir da leitura de Poemas do Povo da Noite (1979). O presente artigo, portanto, percorre o trajeto etimológico e judiciário do vocábulo tortura e a sua edificação histórica enquanto mecanismo de manipulação e controle dos corpos estruturantes da sociedade, tanto o arcabouço propriamente humano quanto a representação estatal, como soberania simbólica. Para isso, será realizada a análise do poema “Açoite”, de maneira a pôr em evidência os processos de elaboração linguística, a partir de recursos estruturais da poética, no panorama social do autoritarismo. Observa-se, assim, que os traços desejosos de anseio pela liberdade dispostos em versos revelam a interna motivação psicológica do eu-lírico pela ultrapassagem da violência imposta pelos militares. Como embasamento teórico-referencial do trabalho, serão discutidas as contribuições de autores como Jaime Ginzburg, Maria Rita Kehl e Márcio Seligmann-Silva.
Aspects of the production of ornamental stone plates with fragments of hyaline quartz and the potential for color development from irradiation combined with heat treatment
Authors: Bolonini Thiago Motta , De Lima Paula Alves , Lameiras Fernando Soares
Published: November 2023

The present work refers to a study on the production of dimension stones slabs with hyaline quartz and its potential for color development through irradiation combined with heat treatment. The research included technical visits to a company that produces slabs (combining parts of sliced quartz crystals) for the dimension stone industry, where the stages of slabs production were described. The material used was classified as a colorless hyaline quartz, with the presence of partially healed fractures and monophasic fluid inclusions, that need more attention when in the heat treatment. The study evaluated the potential for color development through combined irradiation and thermal treatments, using analyses at the Federal University of Espirito Santo - UFES gem and characterization laboratory and at the infrared spectroscopy laboratory at the Nuclear Technology Development Center - CDTN. The results showed that hyaline quartz fragments can develop characteristic colors depending on the irradiation dose and heat treatment. If they have homogeneous behavior in relation to the spectral analysis, the crystals can develop characteristic colors from a weak green gold (yellow-green) to yellow and brown, keeping the proper irradiation doses (yellow-green, 60-100 kGy; yellow, 100- 200kGy and brown >200kGy), but such colors would still have to be submitted for verification of acceptance by the dimension stone market.

INFLUENCE OF KU70 GENE KNOCKOUT ON TRANSFORMATION FREQUENCY OF PENICILLIUM VERRUCULOSUM MYCELIAL FUNGI
Authors: Sinelnikov Igor G. , Kislitsin Valeriy Yu. , Chulkin Andrey M. , Shaplin Andrey A. , Rozhkova Aleksandra M.
Published: November 2023

To increase the frequency of homologous recombination (HR) during the transformation of the industrial strain Penicillium verruculosum 221-151 (VKM F-3972D), the ku70 gene encoding the Ku70, which binds at the sites of double-stranded DNA breaks and is involved in the repair process by the non-homologous end joint (NHEJ), was knocked out by the CRISPR/CAS9 method. Presumably, the new host strain, P. verruculosum ΔniaDΔku70, should have had an increased frequency of homologous recombination during transformation in comparison with the host strain P. verruculosum ΔniaD due to the integrative insertion of the expression cassette only by the HR mechanism. The pep1 gene encoding homologous aspartate protease was chosen as a marker. However, it was shown that the knockout of the ku70 gene led to a dramatic decrease in the frequency of co-transformation in the P. verruculosum ΔniaDΔku70 strain compared to the P. verruculosum ΔniaD strain at the same load of exogenous DNA (3 μg). The number of copies of the pep1 gene in recombinant strains of the P. verruculosum Pep1 (with a native Ku70) series ranged from 3 to 28 copies, which indicated the predominance of the non-homologous recombination mechanism.
Friendship, joy, and physical fitness of elementary school students: outcome-based macro evaluation of physical education in Madura Island
Authors: Jufri Arief Wildan , Rosidi Sakban , Purwati Titik
Published: November 2023

The lack of information regarding the benefits of physical education in primary education (SD/MI) in Madura Island resulted in its potential value not being fully realized. In addition, the existence of physical education is often seen as a peripheral or unimportant subject in the school curriculum. Meanwhile, outcomes, which are evaluations at the social or community level, often need to be thoroughly explored. The benefits of physical education ideally are based on the criteria of friends, fun, and fitness. This study seeks information about interpersonal peacefulness, physical activity enjoyment, and physical fitness. The research method used is quantitative and correlational descriptive with a testing design using the discrepancy evaluation model. The respondents involved in this study are 523 students. The results show that the mean of interpersonal peacefulness among students and physical activity enjoyment has met the established criteria, while the mean of physical fitness of students has not met the established criteria. The three variables have a functional relationship with a significant value <0.05. Recommendations that can be given to physical education teachers are to pay more attention to the element of physical activity enjoyment in children. According to hedonism theory, behavioral learning theory, and perceptual theory, humans always seek and repeat any action that gives pleasure. So, if exercising brings joy, they will repeat the activity. The more joy, the more active they will be in exercising.

Published: November 2023

Implementing learning in an independent curriculum gives teachers freedom in designing learning. Based on the results of observations and diagnostic tests carried out in class, this shows low interest. The PBL learning model using the role-playing method is believed to be able to increase interest in learning biology through fun activities and student involvement. This research includes classroom action research, which consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages in two cycles carried out in the 2022–2023 academic year in class XA of BPPT Darus Sholah Superior High School. Data on learning interest was obtained from observation sheets and closed questionnaires. The results of the research showed that there was an increase in the average score from cycle I to cycle II, namely from 67.93% to 77.12%, so that the PBL model using the role-playing method could increase students' interest in learning biology lessons.

Parental school choice and involvement in bilingual early childhood education
Authors: Kovács Ivett Judit , Czachesz Erzsebet
Published: November 2023

The present paper explores parental involvement from the parents’ perspective concerning a specific area – bilingual early childhood education. It aims to uncover the level, extent, and quality of involvement in children’s education of those parents who choose bilingual early years programs for their children. Data is collected via questionnaires and interviews. The research results on parental school choice are reflected in the Hungarian sample, but new aspects are also emerging. Results show that the (upper-)middle-class parents in the sample, who choose the bilingual program for an additional fee, have a solid positive sense of efficacy in their parental role. Their school choice reflects their parental views looking for a municipality-run institution of set boundaries with innovative pedagogical methods and inclusive attitude. Out of the four motives of parental involvement defined by Kernan (2012), three are mentioned in the interviews: the harmonization of pedagogical values, the practical help of parents supporting the organization, and the enablement by building mutual relationships between parents and practitioners. The democratic motif does not appear in the data, meaning shared decision-making practices are not present in the institutions.

O município de Poços de Caldas se desenvolveu ao longo do curso dos rios, os quais foram incorporados à sua paisagem urbana. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, através de indicadores, se a segurança e a sustentabilidade ambiental dos rios urbanos do município foram afetadas pela forma com que o planejamento urbano do município foi realizado. A metodologia se baseou na avaliação de indicadores de sustentabilidade e segurança ambientais, que buscaram averiguar a existência de tratamento de esgotos, controle de poluição, infraestrutura de gestão e monitoramento de enchentes e outros incidentes e participação popular no nos processos de gestão. Averiguou-se que durante o processo de planejamento urbano, o curso dos rios foi profundamente alterado, comprometendo os serviços ecossistêmicos associados. Cerca de 70% dos esgotos são lançados nos rios in natura, o que gera riscos à saúde da população. Verificou-se que o tratamento dos incidentes, como enchentes, ocorre de modo posterior a sua ocorrência, com disparo de avisos anteriores à ocorrência. Por fim, averiguou-se que não há sistema municipal de monitoramento dos riscos, sendo que estes são avaliados via convênio entre Prefeitura municipal, Universidade Federal de Alfenas e o Centro Nacional de Monitoramento e Alertas de Desastres Naturais (CEMADEN). Em âmbito geral, foi averiguado que a sustentabilidade ambiental é pouco efetiva. Como medidas prioritárias para contornar a questão, destacam-se o aumento do volume do tratamento de esgoto, incentivo à maior participação da população nas políticas de gestão ambiental, além da necessidade de realização de estudos para implementação de tecnologias de monitoramento ambiental e melhoria da sustentabilidade.
EFEITOS DA PERCEPÇÃO DO COMPORTAMENTO POLÍTICO NO DESEMPENHO ORGANIZACIONAL
Authors: Silva Deborah Leão Sousa
Published: November 2023

O presente estudo pretendeu realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre os efeitos da percepção do comportamento político organizacional, também chamada de Percepção de Política Organizacional (PPO) sobre o desempenho. Para tanto, realizou-se busca nas bases de dados EBSCOhost Research Databases, Google scholar e Spell Scientific Periodicals Eletronic Library. Entre os efeitos da política organizacional estão o aumento da percepção de injustiça, intenção de saída e comportamentos contraproducentes. Os resultados encontrados sugerem que os comportamentos políticos são inerentes ao ambiente organizacional e geram efeitos negativos e positivos que repercutem no desempenho. Destacou-se que os gestores devem atuar minimizando os efeitos negativos e potencializando os efeitos positivos gerados pela política para favorecer o desempenho organizacional.
LITERACIA FISCAL COMO INSTRUMENTO DE EFICIÊNCIA DO USO DE RECURSO PÚBLICO
Authors: Dantas Luiz Antonio de Oliveira , Forte Denis
Published: November 2023

Pesquisas mostram que o Brasil é uma das nações onde os contribuintes mais pagam impostos. Ao mesmo tempo, a sensação de que são recursos desperdiçados é grande. Dantas e Forte (2022) propuseram o conceito de literacia fiscal, uma combinação entre conhecimento e comportamento da área fiscal. Esse estudo verificou que essa literacia fiscal melhora o desempenho das finanças pessoais e empresariais, e por consequência, o bem-estar e uso dos recursos. O objetivo desse ensaio teórico é de propor que esse conceito de literacia fiscal seja aplicado na esfera pública. A análise do sistema tributário federal demonstra um sistema complexo, mas bem estruturado. A tese em questão, é que uma vez que os contribuintes se tornem mais cientes do uso dos recursos públicos na sociedade, os gestores públicos por sua vez tenderiam a se alinhar na eficiência do uso dos recursos, melhorando o bem-estar coletivo. A conclusão do ensaio é que ao se promover a melhoria individual dos agentes, sejam contribuintes ou gestores, haverá mais equidade e uma maximização dos benefícios para a sociedade.
