INFLUENCE OF CONTEXT RELATED FACTORS ON SAUDI SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS’ UNDERSTANDING OF EVIDENCE, EVIDENCE-BASED, AND EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES
Authors: Mursi Najwa Bakr , Sulaimani Mona Fawzi
Published: September 2022

The complexity of special education and the variability among students Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) require special education teachers to make a concerted effort to provide validated supports that contribute to their students’ learning outcomes. Among the most important considerations for teachers is the use of teaching practices supported as effective by evidence. There is a broad consensus that the use of Evidence Based Practices (EBPs) can lead to significant improvements for students with ASD and their families. The research to practice gap is widely recognised in special education in relation to the selection and implementation of EBPs, with several studies finding that teachers used unsupported teaching practices as frequently as those supported by empirical evidence. Thus, in order to utilise EBPs, teachers must first understand what EBPs mean and how a particular practice comes to be evidence-based. Aligning with this emphasis and the increasing introduction of EBPs in special education globally, this study explored special education teachers’ understanding of evidence, evidence-based, and EBPs in one centre of autism in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). In this study, a qualitative approach was used. Within this approach, a single case study design was adopted. The data were collected from six special education teachers of students with ASD using interviews. The findings revealed that teachers referred to their own individual experiences or the experiences of other teachers as evidence. In addition, they referred to their superiors’ advice as being evidence-based and the perceived EBPs as technical tools handed to them by the Centre. This indicated that teachers’ understanding of evidence-based, and EBPs was constructed based on the culture of the Centre. The findings of this study suggest several courses of action for future research, and policymakers and teacher education.

Published: September 2022

Bagi perusahaan, instansi pemerintah maupun masyarakat, informasi merupakan suatu hal yang bernilai dan sangat penting, terlebih di era new media dan globalisasi saat ini. Hal tersebut dikarenakan adanya tuntutan dari pihak terkait perihal transparansi informasi maupun edukasi yang diberikan oleh Badan Informasi Geospasial (BIG) mengenai pemetaan Indonesia. Badan Informasi Geospasial (BIG) lahir untuk menggantikan Badan Koordinasi Survei dan Pemetaan Nasional (BAKOSURTANAL) sebagai penuaian amanat pasal 22 Undang-Undang Nomor 4 Tahun 2011 tentang Informasi Geospasial (IG). Secara umum tugas BIG diantaranya ialah penyelenggaraan informasi geospasial dasar yang meliputi pengumpulan data, pengolahan, penyimpanan data dan informasi, dan penggunaan informasi geospasial dasar. Oleh sebab itulah perlu adanya media komunikasi yang efektif dan efisien dalam memperkenalkan dan menggandeng masyarakat agar lebih mengenal BIG lebih dekat. Melalui maksimalisasi Company Profile diharapkan dapat meminimalisir ketidaktahuan masyarakat terhadap BIG serta lebih mempererat kerjasama antara BIG dengan perusahaan, instansi pemerintah dan juga masyarakat. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif. Jenis penelitian dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif. Dimana data-data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisa dan disimpulkan secara detail dan jelas. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa sebagai lembaga pemerintah non kementerian, tidak menutup kemungkinan BIG memaksimalisasi dan mewujudkan media komunikasi Company Profile yang lengkap, inovatif dan efektif.

Currently vitamin K2 is one of the most popular micronutrients among both researchers and practitioners. In addition to its well-known role in the synthesis of coagulation factors, vitamin K2 regulates the deposition of calcium in bone and soft tissues, protecting against the development of osteoporosis and vascular calcification. In recent years, more and more data have been accumulated on its participation in the regulation of key physiological and pathological processes in the body, such as cell division and differentiation, carbohydrate metabolism, inflammation, oxidative stress, etc. In this review, we analyze the sources of vitamin K2, the mechanisms of its action and influence on metabolism.

The human gut microbiome responds dynamically to changes in diet, contributing to the diversity of the human diet. The composition of the diet can also influence the metabolic products that are ultimately present in the intestinal lumen and plasma. Observations in humans on vegan, omnivorous, or synthetic enteral diets deficient in fiber have demonstrated dramatic imbalances in the gut microbiome, accompanied by changes in carbohydrate and amino acid-derived bacterial metabolites. It has been established that diet plays a dominant role in the formation of interindividual variations in host-associated microbial communities. Given the impact of the microbial community on human health and its multiple mechanisms of action, establishing the impact of different dietary approaches and models is critical.
Vegetarianism as a socially conditioned phenomenon. A social portrait of a modern vegetarian family with children
Authors: Sviridova T. V. , Fisenko A. P. , Yasakov D. S. , Lazurenko S. B. , Makarova S. G.
Published: September 2022

The idea of excluding animal products from the diet, affecting families with children, has become extremely popular, embodying fashion trends and belonging to a group of people with similar social orientations and lifestyle. In the situation of increasing prevalence of vegetarianism in the children’s population, there are no studies of lifestyle, style and conditions of raising children by vegetarian parents. At the same time, in practice, there is insufficient awareness of vegetarian parents in a field of adequate diet composition, as well as difficulties in compliance between specialists with vegetarian families.

The purpose of the study – to study the socio–psychological characteristics of a modern vegetarian family.

Materials and methods. An uncontrolled psychological and pedagogical examination of vegetarian families was conducted. 45 mother-child dyads were included in the study. We studied: psychological characteristics of the personality of the child and parents, reasons for choosing the type of nutrition, the style of upbringing of the child, beliefs about monitoring the health and treatment of the child.

Results. The normative variant of cognitive development was established in 15.9 % of vegetarian children, the delayed variant of cognitive development – in 72.7 % of children, the deviant variant of cognitive development – in 11.4 % of children. 52.3 % of vegetarian children can be attributed to a group with a low level of socio-psychological adaptability, 38.6 % of children – to a group with an average level of adaptability, 9.1 % of children had high indicators for this parameter. In 62.2 % of cases, there was a permissive parenting style, in 17.8 % of cases – an inconsistent parenting style, in 13.3 % – an authoritarian parenting style, in 6.7 % – a democratic (authoritative) parenting style.

Conclusion. The motive for choosing the concept of vegetarianism has a direct impact on the style of parenting and adherence to the recommendations of specialists. Parents do not focus on the individual, personal and psychological needs of the child when they choosing a diet and parenting style, but are guided by their own motives and beliefs regarding the lifestyle that they consider correct.
Influence of uneven blade tip clearances on aeroacoustic characteristics of centrifugal compressors
Authors: Zhang Meijie , Qi Mingxu , Zhang Hong
Published: September 2022

The blade tip clearance is a crucial factor in the compressor performance and the aeroacoustics. There are usually main blades and splitter blades, two different types of blades in centrifugal compressors. Keeping almost the same work input, three different tip clearance configurations were designed in which the tip clearance gaps of main blades and splitter blades were uneven. Then experimental investigations were carried out to study the influence of uneven tip clearances on the aeroacoustic characteristics of centrifugal compressors. The results showed that larger main blade tip clearances or larger splitter blade tip clearances would induce rotating instabilities (RI) near flow instability boundary at low rotating speeds. However, the broadband noises below the blade passing frequency (BPF) in the case with uneven blade tip clearances were suppressed significantly which might be due to the incongruous interaction between the tip clearance leakage flows of main blades and splitter blades. In addition, the blade nonsynchronous vibrations (NSV) were observed in the analysis of the frequency spectrum of far-field noise in the case which had smaller main blade tip clearances and larger splitter blade tip clearances. Based on the jet core feedback theory, a physical explanation was given for NSV occurred in this case.

Tug of War: Government-Military Power Struggles and International Conflict
Authors: Sartori Anne
Published: September 2022

This paper investigates the effect of domestic power sharing between a government and its military on a state's propensity for international conflict. It uses a model of domestic political interactions in which the government and military have common interests in the state's security and conflicting interests over the distribution of domestic benefits. An activity available to the military may help or harm the state's security, and whether the expected outcome is positive or negative is known only to the military. The model shows that government steps to consolidate domestic power can lead the military to engage in activity that is more likely than not to harm the state's security, although, without the pressures of domestic politics, it would prefer to refrain from the activity. The paper thus elucidates a mechanism by which states with substantial domestic power sharing between governmental and military leaders have a greater propensity for international conflict.
“First Watergate: Then You: Spiro Agnew and the Making of an Emotional Community"
Authors: Holden Charles
Published: September 2022

Considered a political lightweight initially, Vice President Spiro Agnew became Richard Nixon’s effective point man in the attack on the media as “liberal,” on the college professors as “subversives,” and on the counterculture. His time in the spotlight ended abruptly when charges of tax evasion led to his resignation in 1973. Agnew’s resignation convinced his many followers that their enemies – the media, the liberals and communists, the Jews – had schemed to eliminate their champion. Thousands wrote letters to the Vice President’s office echoing the angry and often conspiratorial style of their fallen hero. This visceral reaction to Agnew’s departure remained ignored by the political establishment of both parties, however, in light of Watergate and the Democrats’ 1974 midterm success. We contend that they reveal the politics of temperament and the component parts of what became the Gingrich Revolution in the mid-1990s and the GOP of Donald Trump.

Authors: Nugroho Sapto Setyo , Pasaribu Daniel
Published: September 2022

This paper examines the discourse on disaster governance issues in Indonesia.  By focusing on discourse analysis, disaster studies can be viewed with a social science perspective and with a discursive governance approach. This paper is also an alternative to the dominant concept of "disaster management" in the previous studies. The study was conducted by searching for primary data on one keyword, namely "Penanggulangan Bencana" on Twitter with Netlytic application – social media text and social network analyzer. Through schemes of text analysis, social cognition and social analysis, the results of data collection and analysis show the dominance of speech and the role of government and the diverse significance of other actors.

Authors: Francesconi Sara
Published: September 2022

The wheat crop is one of the most cultivated and consumed commodities all over the world. Fungal diseases are of particular concern for wheat cultivation since they cause great losses and reduced quality, and also for the accumulation of toxin compounds into the final product. In this scenario, optimal disease management strategies are a key point to boosting food production and sustainability in agriculture. Innovative and point-of-care diagnostic technologies represent a powerful weapon for early detection of fungal pathogens and preventively counteract diseases on wheat with the aim to drastically reduce the fungicides as inputs. Indeed, in-field diagnostics devices are fast, sensitive, and ready-to-use technologies able to promptly detect a low inoculum concentration even at the pre-symptomatic stage of the disease. Promising isothermal molecular and phenomics-based methods have been developed to detect wheat fungal pathogens directly in the field. Such technologies could be potentially coupled to directly detect the presence of a certain pathogen and indirectly disclose the plant-pathogen interactions since spectral-based methodologies detect host perturbations following the infection. The present review reports the main in-field isothermal molecular-based and phenomics-based detection technologies for fungal pathogens in wheat discussing their advantages, disadvantages, and potential applications in the near future.

Objective: To explore a new artificial intelligence (AI)-aided method to assist the clinical diagnosis of femoral intertrochanteric fracture (FIF), and further compare the performance with human level to confirm the effect and feasibility of the AI algorithm.

Methods: 700 X-rays of FIF were collected and labeled by two senior orthopedic physicians to set up the database, 643 for the training database and 57 for the test database. A Faster-RCNN algorithm was applied to be trained and detect the FIF on X-rays. The performance of the AI algorithm such as accuracy, sensitivity, miss diagnosis rate, specificity, misdiagnosis rate, and time consumption was calculated and compared with that of orthopedic attending physicians.

Results: Compared with orthopedic attending physicians, the Faster-RCNN algorithm performed better in accuracy (0.88 vs. 0.84 ± 0.04), specificity (0.87 vs. 0.71 ± 0.08), misdiagnosis rate (0.13 vs. 0.29 ± 0.08), and time consumption (5 min vs. 18.20 ± 1.92 min). As for the sensitivity and missed diagnosis rate, there was no statistical difference between the AI and orthopedic attending physicians (0.89 vs. 0.87 ± 0.03 and 0.11 vs. 0.13 ± 0.03).

Conclusion: The AI diagnostic algorithm is an available and effective method for the clinical diagnosis of FIF. It could serve as a satisfying clinical assistant for orthopedic physicians.
Optimizing nutrient removal and biomass production of the Algal Turf Scrubber (ATS) under variable cultivation conditions by using Response Surface Methodology
Authors: Gan Xinyu , Klose Holger , Reinecke Diana
Published: September 2022

This study investigated and optimized the nutrient remediation efficiency of a simple low-cost algal biofilm reactor, the algal turf scrubber (ATS), for wastewater treatment. Combined effects of three cultivation variables—total inorganic carbon, nitrogen-to-phosphorous (N:P) ratio, and light intensity—were examined. The ATS nutrient removal efficiency and biomass productivity were analyzed considering the response surface methodology (RSM). The maximum removal rates of total P and N were 8.3 and 19.1 mg L−1 d−1, respectively. As much as 99% of total P and 100% of total N were removed within 7 days. Over the same period, the dissolved oxygen concentration and pH value of the medium increased. The optimal growth conditions for simultaneous maximum P and N removal and biomass productivity were identified. Our RSM-based optimization results provide new insights into the combined effect of nutrient and light availability on the ATS remediation efficiency and biomass productivity.
Tissue-engineered repair material for pelvic floor dysfunction
Authors: Lin Meina , Lu Yongping , Chen Jing
Published: September 2022

Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a highly prevalent urogynecology disorder affecting many women worldwide, with symptoms including pelvic organ prolapse (POP), stress urinary incontinence (SUI), fecal incontinence, and overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). At present, the clinical treatments of PFD are still conservative and symptom-based, including non-surgical treatment and surgery. Surgical repair is an effective and durable treatment for PFD, and synthetic and biological materials can be used to enforce or reinforce the diseased tissue. However, synthetic materials such as polypropylene patches caused a series of complications such as mesh erosion, exposure, pain, and inflammation. The poor mechanical properties and high degradation speed of the biomaterial meshes resulted in poor anatomical reduction effect and limitation to clinical application. Therefore, the current treatment options are suboptimal. Recently, tissue-engineered repair material (TERM) has been applied to repair PFD and could markedly improve the prognosis of POP and SUI repair surgery in animal models. We review the directions and progression of TERM in POP and SUI repair. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSCs) appear to be suitable cell types for scaffold seeding and clinical implantation. The multidisciplinary therapy approach to tissue engineering is a promising direction for tissue repair. More and longer follow-up studies are needed before determining cell types and materials for PFD repair.
Two complementary approaches for efficient isolation of Sertoli cells for transcriptomic analysis

Sertoli cells (SCs) are the only somatic cells that reside in seminiferous tubules of testis. They directly interact with and support the development of germ cells, thus have an indispensable role in the process of spermatogenesis. SCs first appear in a proliferative state and then, with the initiation of the first wave of spermatogenesis, progress to a mature “nurturing” state which supports lifelong continuous sperm production. During this development, the SC transcriptome must adapt rapidly as obstacles in SC maturation often result in deficiencies in male fertility. Due to its importance in spermatogenesis, a reliable, rapid, and precise method for the isolation of high purity, viable and unadulterated SC has been largely missing. We have developed an improved method for the preparation of a testicular single cell suspension comprised of two alternative protocols to separate SCs from the rest of the testicular cells by FACS. The first sorting scheme is based on their co-expression of surface specific markers, FSHr and Occludin-1, while the second focuses on the co-staining of SCs with FSHr-specific antibody and Hoechst 33342, which discriminates DNA content of testicular cells. The entire procedure can be completed in less than 3 h which permits the analysis of the development-related transcriptional profile of these cells. Notably, our comparative study showed that this method resulted in a SC transcriptome that is largely comparable to SCs which were briskly isolated due to their cell-specific expression of fluorescent protein. Interestingly, we also show that SCs sorted as FSHr+Occludin+ cells contained a tangible portion of transcripts from all types of testicular germ cells. Sorting of SCs according to their 2C DNA content significantly reduced the presence of these transcripts, thus seems to be the most suitable approach for accurate determination of the SC transcriptome. We believe that these novel approaches for the isolation of SCs will assist researchers in the elucidation of their function as well as their role in spermatogenesis and disorders related to male infertility.

One of the most common primary bone malignant tumors is osteosarcoma (OS), possessing a high tendency of local invasion and distant metastasis. Although surgery combined with chemotherapy can extend the patients’ survival time, the prognosis for most patients with metastases or relapses is poor. Immunotherapy has been proved to be a promising treatment alternative for malignant tumors. Although there is a significant amount of animal- and cell-based evidence supporting the relationship between immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA-4) and cancers, no pan-cancer analysis is available. Simultaneously, immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated satisfactory clinical results in some tumors; however, only a small fraction of patients with certain cancer types have been benefitted. Therefore, based on the TCGA dataset, we first explored the potential roles of immune checkpoints in 33 tumors. Programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1), programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) were not consistently expressed in the same direction in all tumors; however, the direction of expression change was the same in most immune cells. Although there is no well-established relationship between the expression of PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4 genes and the prognosis of patients with sarcomas, their interaction and extent of immune cell infiltration into sarcomas are probably the key determinants of therapeutic response. Our first pan-cancer study provides a relatively comprehensive understanding of immune checkpoint inhibitors in different sarcomas.
