Evaluating research excellence in architecture: A view from German technical universities towards a European perspective
Authors: Luce Martin , Pfarr-Harfst Mieke , Reeh Judith , Schröder Jörg , Tessmann Oliver
Published: August 2023

From the perspective of the architecture departments in nine German technical universities, this essay argues that the positioning of architecture as a research discipline requires adapted evaluation standards to fulfil its promise of generating new knowledge. Evaluation processes depend on and also influence their funding context, plus they are strongly linked to a categorisation of research practices and topics. The essay argues for widespread recognition of discipline-specific research methods, as well as specific outputs and publication practices. It provides empirical evidence of new European standards for peer-reviewed assessment of architectural research in line with subject-specific approaches. Suggestions are made for opening up excellence funding lines to design-oriented and practice-based research. The essay thus calls to work together to improve evaluation and funding frameworks. Its conclusions support the goal of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (COARA) to maximise the excellence and impact of research by reforming assessment practices.

Authors: Mohammed Isah Usman
Published: August 2023

An abattoir cross sectional survey was carried out to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitic helminths in slaughtered cattle at Dutse Local Government Area, Jigawa State, Nigeria. A total of 288 fecal samples were tested. Gastrointestinal helminths’ eggs were detected in 219 samples tested giving an overall prevalence of 76.04%. The prevalent helminthes species identified were Cooperia sp., Fasciola sp, T. saginata, T r i c o s t r o n g y l u s s p , Ostertagia, and Paraphostimum sp. High prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths in cattle slaughtered was observed during the wet season; with T. saginata 106(35.2%) having highest prevalence and the least prevalent species Paraphostimum sp. with 11(3.7). There is significant association of increasing parasitic infection with months of wet season p=0.001; χ 2 =80.36. However, there was no significant association was observed during dry season p= 0.35; χ2 =21.74. the distribution of gastrointestinal helminths according to age group of the animals were found to be 77.14% in Cattle less than 2 years, 76.27% in young and 70.59% in adults. These findings implied that the majority of cattle brought for slaughter in Dutse abattoir were highly infested with several internal helminthes parasites that may present a public health problem and an important epidemiological implication. Therefore, an effective chemotherapy, an appropriate meat inspection, and famers education of proper use of anthelminthic to prevent infestation of human and to enhance food sufficiency not only in quantity but also in quality.

Objetivo: Essa revisão de literatura tem como objetivo buscar evidências disponíveis sobre o potencial uso dos probióticos como terapia adjuvante para a COVID-19. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura narrativa com enfoque qualitativo realizados a partir das bases de dados PubMed e LILACS. Foram incluídos artigos em língua portuguesa, inglesa e espanhola, publicados entre janeiro de 2020 e maio de 2021 utilizando os seguintes descritores: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 e Probiotics. Resultados: Indivíduos acometidos pela COVID-19 sofrem alterações na flora pulmonar e aumento da concentração das espécies patogênicas, devido à relação bidirecional entre o intestino e pulmão. Esses microrganismos ou seus produtos podem afetar a microbiota intestinal via corrente sanguínea, resultando em alterações na sua composição e indução de disbiose e aparecimento de sintomas gastrointestinais. Este “eixo intestino-pulmão” parece desempenhar um papel fundamental na redução da “tempestade de citocinas” em pacientes com COVID-19, principalmente quando esses epitélios se encontram em eubiose. A administração dos probióticos se apresentam como uma promissora alternativa terapêutica, pois seu uso promove o equilíbrio e integridade da microbiota intestinal e auxilia na homeostase imunológica, regulando seus mecanismos de defesa. Conclusão: Nesta revisão, foram reunidas as principais evidências disponíveis sobre esse assunto, as quais apontam, em sua maioria, resultados favoráveis à sua administração. Entretanto, são necessários mais estudos controlados para que seja possível saber o real efeito dos probióticos na COVID19.

Published: August 2023

Este estudo é resultado parcial do Projeto de Iniciação Científica Agenda 2030 – UNESA (Universidade Estácio de Sá). Seu objetivo foi compreender o estado atual de compreensão da Agenda 2030, um documento fundamental firmado na 21ª Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre o Clima regido pela COP 21 (Conferência das Partes 21) realizada em Paris, França. Os instrumentos adotados para sua elaboração foram a pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa documental e pesquisa exploratória com amostra qualitativa destinada aos alunos e coordenadores de curso. Desenvolvida no Campus Taquara-R9, com aplicação de questionário. As pesquisas realizadas possibilitaram um conhecimento mais profundo sobre cada objetivo. Durante esse processo, constata-se que os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) se complementam e se reforçam. Por exemplo, se não há investimento em infraestrutura, pesquisa e desenvolvimento (ODS 9), dificilmente será possível promover crescimento econômico, emprego pleno e produtivo e trabalho decente (ODS 8). Às desigualdades de renda e riqueza (ODS 10) somam-se a distribuição injusta de serviços essenciais como por exemplo, o acesso ao saneamento básico (ODS6). A escassez de informações à população sobre o verdadeiro significado e importância da sustentabilidade faz cada vez mais com que o país tenha uma visão avessa à realidade. Individualista, alheia às necessidades da população que ao mesmo tempo acelera, por conta, toda as desigualdades no Brasil.

Published: August 2023

Este trabalho teve por objetivo procurar similaridades entre alguns sequenciamentos das famílias Paramyxoviridae e Coronaviridae, com recurso ao método de regressão lasso e ridge sob o domínio da transformada de wavelet discreta não decimada de Daubechies com 4 momentos nulos. A transformada discreta não decimada de Daubechies foi implementada de modo a se decompor o conteúdo GC em seis níveis de decomposição, com uma janela deslizante de comprimento n = 100. Conteúdo GC é a proporção de guanina e citosina presentes no genoma de um indivíduo, e por meio do conteúdo GC é possível ter a ancestralidade de um sequenciamento, incluindo informação sobre todos os organismos que são evolutivamente semelhantes a um determinado organismo. As wavelets permitiram que se pudesse decompor o conteúdo GC de cada sequenciamento, e consequentemente obteve-se a distribuição do conteúdo GC aumentando o nível de detalhamento e mostrando detalhes omissos do sinal. A inclusão dos métodos lasso e ridge foi feita com o intuito de se formar agrupamentos, consoante a similaridade dos sequenciamentos em estudo. Ao fim da pesquisa, observou-se que o método lasso teve melhor performance na formação dos grupos.

Authors: DEYOL ALKA , TAUNK JYOTI , KHIRBAT S K , YADAV R C
Published: August 2023

The fruit rot of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.), caused by Colletotrichum capsici, is the most serious disease of chilli in India. Fourteen isolates of C. capsici collected from different locations in Haryana state were investigated for molecular variations along with their virulence pattern. Different levels of virulence were expressed dividing isolates into four groups. Out of 33 primers, 22 exhibited DNA polymorphism producing a total of 108 bands with an average of 4.90 bands per primer. At an arbitrary cut-off at 45% similarity level of dendrogram, the isolates were clustered into two main clusters. The grouping of the isolates based on RAPDs was in general neither in agreement with their pathogenicity on different host cultivars nor with the geographical location of the isolate. The information may be helpful in improving chilli fruit rot resistance and varietal deployment strategies essential for effective disease management.
Why are Moral Qualities so Important in Understanding Ourselves?
Authors: Samoilova Alsou I.
Published: August 2023

This article presents a paper by Alsou Samoilova and Ekaterina Verezhan at the online student conference Transactional Analysis in the 21 st Century, which was organized by the MIR-TA (World of TA) Institute and took place on July 1 st and 2nd, 2023. The topic of the paper is Maria Teresa Tosi's (Italy, PhD, TSTA-P) article Personal Identity and Moral Discourse in Psychotherapy (Tosi, 2018).This paper analyzes an original text by Maria Teresa Tosi on the definition of personal identity in relation to person's moral values. It is suggested that personal identity can be viewed as having two basic dimensions, which are autobiography and moral values. As the research cited in the paper shows, it is moral values that are recognized as the most important part of a personal identity. Moral values are linked to the general development, which means that a new perspective for psychotherapeutic work is needed. Despite the common belief that the moral discourse is not a part of the field of the therapeutic work, it may be the time to reconsider this tendency. Maria Teresa Tosi emphasizes the need to incorporate the moral discourse into the psychotherapeutic practice. Bringing the discussion of moral values into therapeutic conversations can help to build an alliance and promote personal growth and social responsibility in patients, which in the long term has healing implications for the participants in the therapeutic process. In these aspects, spirituality can be seen as a framework for the development of a Parent Self in order to bring positive values and moral principles into personal identity.
Compliance with the Code of Ethics in the Presentation of Transactional Analysis Concepts Through Statements and Manifestation in Social Networks
Authors: Tulabaeva Nigina O.
Published: August 2023

This article is based on the report at the SOTA conference (March 25-26, 2023) and is devoted to the study of ways of demonstration and manifestation as a psychologist in the space of social media, safely for this psychologist, clients, subscribers, readers, taking into account the need to exclude the risks of violation the code of ethics. In my opinion, the relevance of this topic is high, since many psychologists have a need to demonstrate themselves, but sometimes the ways that marketing offers may be a violation of ethical norms. In this paper I reflect on how to demonstrate yourself in social media relying on the concepts of Transactional Analysis, and how to realize the needs of a specialist in presenting him- or herself, whether it is a desire to share promotional and useful information, or to reveal him- or herself as a professional to potential future clients, or to receive recognition and be noticeable. At the same time, the novelty of my perspective is that in the article I analyze the ways to realize the need for presence in social networks, taking into account the uniqueness of the specialist. In particular, I consider how to run a channel, blog, website, account with pleasure and interest, thereby making social networking a safe process, both for the specialist and for readers, so that the ethical principles become not an image of a Controlling Parent, but a support and a way to help in taking care of yourself and your customers with respect. In this article, I rely on research in the field of Transactional Analysis by authors such as Eric Berne, Vann Joines, Ian Stewart.

Analysis of Location Determination for Temporary Waste Collection Points Using p-dispersion Method: An Application to Yogyakarta City, Indonesia
Authors: Julianto Donny Dwi , Purwani Annie , Bouguern Siham
Published: August 2023

The city of Yogyakarta, particularly the Maliobro-Kranggan sector, with a total population of 117,656, has the potential to generate 221 m3/day of waste, while the total capacity of the existing temporary waste collection points or Temporary Disposal Sites (TPS) is 17 units with a capacity of 306 m3. The Yogyakarta Environmental Agency must reconsider the number of TPS facilities and their capacities to meet the community's needs. In certain areas, there are nearby TPS locations, causing some of them not to function optimally as the community chooses the ones that are easily accessible. On the other hand, the proximity of TPS facilities also disturbs the comfort of the community due to worsening odor pollution. In response to this issue, this research aims to determine the optimal number of TPS facilities and their ideal locations using the p-dispersion method. This method is used to determine facility locations by maximizing the minimal distance between each available facility. This research also adds a criterion by considering the travel distance from waste sources to the selected facilities. The study is conducted using Lingo 11.0 software. Based on the data processing results, 13 of 17 TPS facilities were established. The total capacity is 254 m3/day, which can serve as the waste source for 13 community locations. The objective value obtained is 5900, which indicates that the minimum separation distance for the ideal facilities is 5900 meters.

Published: August 2023

This research aimed to examine the process of fostering fine motor and visual motor skills in early childhood education. The study was conducted at PAUD Mambaul Ulum Bata-bata Pamekasan and employed a qualitative research approach using a combination of interviews, observations, and document analysis. The subjects of the research were managers, teachers, and assistants. The findings revealed that the development of fine motor skills was facilitated through the use of various media such as scissors, origami paper, blocks, and pencils. Additionally, the learning strategy was implemented through various methods such as lectures, demonstrations, assignments, and projects, utilizing media that was suited to the nature of each activity. The research also identified several key factors that supported the development of these skills, including the professionalism of educators, adequate infrastructure, and students' interest and enthusiasm for learning. However, the lack of sufficient numbers of accompanying teachers, an imbalance between the number of students and educators, and the absence of complete media and learning facilities were found to be inhibiting factors.
Interplay of Tocilizumab in Critical COVID-19 Cases
Authors: Akay Çizmecioğlu Hilal
Published: August 2023

ÖZET Amaç: Tocilizumab (TCZ), Corona Virüs 2019 (COVID-19) pandemisi sırasında uygulanan tedavi rejimleri arasında öne çıkan bir antikor tabanlı terapötik seçenek haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, TCZ uygulanan COVID-19 hastalarında laboratuvar değişikliklerini, prognostik laboratuvar biomarkerlerini ve TCZ uygulama zamanlamasının mortalite üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmektir. Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif, kesitsel çalışma, ek TCZ bazlı tedavi alan COVID-19 hastaları ile yapılmıştır. TCZ dozu, 8 mg/kg/gün olarak uygulanmıştır. Hastaların verileri, takip kayıtlarından ve dijital hastane bilgi sisteminden toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Toplamda 64 hastanın verileri değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuştur. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 62.43 ± 14.2 idi. Yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan hastaların yarısı invaziv solunum desteği almıştı. Tüm hastalar favipiravir, hidroksiklorokin ve konvalesan plazma temelli tedavi almışlardı. TCZ uygulama süresi genellikle hastaneye yatıştan 7 gün sonra yapılmıştı. Genel olarak, ferritin ve d-dimer seviyeleri, laboratuvar sonuçları arasında prognostik biyobelirteçler olarak öne çıkmaktaydı, ancak lenfopenik hastalarda akut faz reaktanları ön plandaydı. Komorbiditelerin varlığı, hastanede kalış süresi ve mortalite artışı ile ilişkiliydi. TCZ'nin erken uygulandığı hastalarda mortalitenin arttığı görülmüştür. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda da önceden ele alınan prognostik biyobelirteçler dikkat çekiciydi. Ancak literatürde de erken dönemde TCZ kullanımının riskli olduğu ve mortaliteyi artırabileceği belirtilmektedir. Bu nedenle, erken dönemde uygulama konusunda dikkatli olunmalıdır.

Published: August 2023

Handan Taiji Collage has researched the science of Taiji for many years. In the following is a review of this work. Taiji is now recognized to be a treasure of Chinese martial arts and Chinese culture, but it is important to integrate the ancient poetic descriptions of Taiji with modern science. The classic theory of Taiji is famous for giving a perfect explanation from the qualitative aspect, while leaving very large gaps in the quantitative aspects. This article uses mechanics to describe the defense- offense mechanism of Taiji and applies a scoring-criteria to Taiji for martial arts application. A human body-based math model is established to simulate the defense- offense moves, and dynamic and static formulas for releasing force are derived. To aid these calculations, which can be quite complex, we developed a software program with VBA (Excel visual basic for application), which can be used to calculate the defense and offense capabilities of Taiji and other martial arts.

The study is in the background by the pluralistic and pluralistic societies of diverse ethnic, cultural, language, culture, religion and class societies. Each community group has different characteristics and interests. In this study the author uses qualitative analyses that go through the phases of data collection, classify, connect with existing theories and problems, and then draw conclusions to determine the outcome. Learning multiculturalism may be a precaution for prejudice and conflict between groups, for through multicultural studies students learn to appreciate different ethnic cultures, assess their strengths and deficiencies, and eventually they will accept that there is no perfect culture and absolutely no benefit. Multicultural education could be a tool for Indonesia to preserve the unity of the nation.

Published: August 2023

Background: Workplace-based fitness program has been introduced as a means of motivating employees towards participating in active living, maintenance of healthy lifestyle behaviors and increase brain power and productivity. However, the effects of such program on development of individualized fitness program have not been evaluated. Objective: The focus of this study was to investigate the impact of workplace-based fitness on development of an individualized physical activity program among health workers. Method: The cross-sectional study recruited 177 clinical and administrative workers in a tertiary health institution. Data on demographic characteristics, health-benefit of exercise, physical activity level and development of an individualized physical activity program were obtained using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were summarized using a descriptive statistic of percentage and frequency distribution. Results: 172 (97.1%) of the participants are aware of the health benefits of physical activity and the monthly physical fitness program held in the hospital. Only 71 (40.1%) of those that are aware actually participated in the fitness program. 52 (73.2%) of those that participated in the monthly program have developed a personalized fitness program as a result of the motivation received through the monthly fitness program. Conclusions: Hospital workers are aware of the health-related benefits of physical activity however higher level of awareness does not always translate to high level of participation in physical activity. A well-designed workplace-based physical activity can help staff in developing an individualised fitness program. Employers of labour should incorporate workplace-based physical activity into their organisation as a means of promoting the health and fitness of their employee thereby improving productivity and reducing health cost of preventive diseases.
Cambio social y transformación del cuidado en la familia
Authors: Herrera Justicia Sonia , Amezcua Manuel
Published: August 2023

A pesar de los cambios sociales: ¿se sigue erigiendo la familia como una institución cuidadora?, ¿cómo ha cambiado su estructura?, ¿se han debilitado los lazos familiares o se están transformando? En este texto, se analiza la evolución de la familia desde las teorías sociológicas más clásicas hasta los pensadores posmodernos. Se reflexiona sobre las implicaciones de un cambio social y si las transformaciones del presente se han hecho permeables a la dinámica familiar y la función cuidadora de la misma. Como conclusión, se vislumbra que, tanto la familia como sus habilidades cuidadoras, son el espejo de una sociedad en continuo cambio. Está emergiendo un nuevo espacio que, en forma de resistencia, permite hacer uso de los modos de hacer heredados con una visión renovada.
Die Montage kultureller Einheiten des Wissens als poetologische Strategie in den Filmen Ken Russells
Authors: Wulff Hans J.
Published: August 2023

Das Faszinosum an LISZTOMANIA (1975), MAHLER (1975), GOTHIC (1986), LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM (1986) und diversen anderen Filmen Ken Russells ist die Methode der Erzählung, nicht so sehr ihr Inhalt. Die ganze Kulturgeschichte scheint das Material zu bilden, mit dem Russell seine Montage gestaltet, gleichgültig, ob es sich um Versatzstücke aus der Hoch- oder Trivialkultur bildet. Eine – allerdings höchst kontrollierte – Mélange kulturellen Wissens umzirkelt die Themen des Films, gibt ihnen Ausdruck und anschauliche Fülle. Dabei werden aber so heterogene Elemente der Kulturgeschichte aufeinander bezogen und miteinander amalgamiert, dass aus der Darstellungsmethode zugleich ein Distanzmoment entsteht, das den Zuschauer immer wieder auf die Darstellungsmittel selbst verweist. Der Film bezieht sich auf ein höchst kompliziertes intertextuelles Kräftefeld, aus dem Versatzstücke herausgebrochen und mit fremdem Material kombiniert werden - und installiert so einen assoziativen Raum, den zu begehen nur ein höchst gebildeter Zuschauer vermag (Hanke 1984, 293). Kitsch gerät neben Bombast, Heiterkeit neben Paranoia, religiöse Bildnerei neben die Bildwelten der Comic Strips. Nichts, das dieser Methode widerstehen könnte. Russel geht in vielem über die Collagen der klassischen Avantgarde hinaus, weil er die Materialbasis, auf die seine Montagen zurückgreifen, verbreitert und sich nicht scheut, die Regeln von Anstand und Takt zu verletzen. Die Ordnung des bürgerlichen Geschmacks gerät ins Durcheinander, und es mag die Amalgamierung von Kitsch, Bombast und Hochkunst, die Verbindung von religiösen, politischen und kunstgeschichtlichen Symboliken sein, die so heftige Abwehr provozierte und den Blick auf die ästhetischen Qualitäten der Werke so oft verstellte.

The World Health Organization reports that approximately ten million people become permanently disabled or die each year due to medical errors. For this reason, WHO calls for a worldwide research on patient safety. Medication errors are among the most common incidents encountered in hospitals and pose a threat to patient safety. Nurses assume significant roles in preventing or reducing the errors experienced as they are the people who most frequently come into contact with the patients. Focusing on the underlying causes of medication errors, raising awareness about incident reporting and developing solutions for the root causes of errors are the main factors in ensuring patient safety. This review focuses on identifying the medication errors encountered in health care institutions, ensuring learning from mistakes by duly reporting incidents and thus improving patient safety.
