Research on Social Media Past, Present and Future: A Case Study
Authors: Banubakode Abhijit , Siddiqui Shaheen
Published: April 2023

Social Computing is historically rooted in the concept of the 1940s Bush’s Memex; which also led to the advent of hypertext and consequently the World Wide Web. The journey from the 1940s to the present, where social computing is all-encompassing and pervasive, has seen a global shift in our perspective. It has moved from recognizing initially that computers can be used for communication, not just computation to text-based social interactions (bulletin board systems, Usenet, Internet Relay Chat, MUD games) and further to dynamic social interactions with content generation, feedback and more advanced HCI mediums. Research in this field is far and wide as it belongs to several theoretical disciplines, uses various technological infrastructures and has innumerable applications. To name a few areas where social computing is used – creation of Web 2.0 and tools, Entertainment software, Business sector and Forecasting. The thrust is essentially moving towards social intelligence now. The aim of this chapter is to understand the foundation of Social Computing; the present direction and to earmark possible research areas in the future.
The Genetic and Genomic Landscape of Human Reproductive Disorders: An Overview with Our Experience
Authors: Halder Ashutosh , Sharma Priyal , Rana Ranjana , Kalsi Amanpreet , Jain Manish , Sharma Mona
Published: April 2023

Genetics and genomics play a role in the causation of various human diseases. A large number of human reproductive disorders also arise as a result of genetic and genomic abnormalities. Reproductive disorders associated with predominantly genetics and genomic abnormalities are infertility, early pregnancy loss, congenital malformations, difference or disorder of sex development and reproductive cancers. The genetic etiology of human reproductive disorders is increasing with improved molecular biology techniques such as DNA microarray and next-generation sequencing. Infertility is one of the significant areas of reproductive disorders where genetics/genomics plays a substantial role and may result from chromosomal, copy number variation, Yq & pseudo autosomal region microdeletion/microduplication, gene mutation (monogenic, oligogenic, polygenic), multifactorial, epigenetic, mitochondrial, etc. abnormalities. All idiopathic infertile couples should be screened for genetic disorders before assisted reproduction to prevent transmission, if any, in offspring. Pregnancy wastage in early pregnancy is very high (about 70%) and is mainly related to chromosome number, copy number variation, and some monogenic or epigenetic abnormalities. Therefore, all early pregnancy loss cases should also be tested for genetic causes. Congenital malformations are structural defects in embryo, fetus, or newborns and affect about 3% (major malformations) of all births. The malformations could be due to the abnormalities of chromosomes, copy number variation, monogenic, oligogenic, multifactorial, or environmental. Array CGH &/or NGS should be used as the first step to screen congenital malformations. Differences/disorder of sex development is a developmental defect in which the determination and/or differentiation of chromosomal, gonadal, or phenotypic/anatomic sex is abnormal. It is a common disorder and is primarily related to genetic abnormalities. Therefore, a precise diagnosis, mainly through an array CGH and/or NGS, is crucial for the proper management to prevent future psychosexual problems and another birth with the disorder. Cancer is a genomic disorder characterized by genomic instability (due to a defect in DNA repair mechanism), uncontrolled replication (due to lack of response to inhibitory factors/loss of contact inhibition), neo-angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. All cancer cases should be investigated for genomic markers (both hereditary and somatic) for precise diagnosis, prognosis, and genetic counseling. In this review, we will try to evaluate the role of genetics and genomics in the above-mentioned reproductive disorders, along with genetic & genomic techniques used and reproductive counseling in addition to our experiences.
PRILIMINARY RESEARCH ON ACTIVITY BUDGET OF INDOCHINESE GREY LANGUR Trachypithecus crepusculus AT HANOI ZOO UNDER HUMAN INFLUENCE
Authors: Nguyen Thanh Vinh , Nguyen Thi Thuy Dung
Published: April 2023

Two individuals of Indochinese grey langur (Trachypithecus crepusculus) at Hanoi Zoo were studied from August 2014 to January 2015 with a total of 47 observation days and 4290 records to preliminarily determine their activity budget, food composition, and the influence of environmental factors including temperature, humidity, and human impact on their behaviours. The results show that there is a big difference between the activity budget of the two captive individuals and that of freeranging individuals. Furthermore, their food composition was also very different from that of individuals living in the wild and it may be the main reason. From this result, changing the composition of food for Indochinese grey langurs in Hanoi Zoo and limiting the visitors’ food provision needs to be carried out immediately to ensure the health and welfare of these langurs.
THE SPREAD OF THE BRITISH TEA-DRINKING CULTURE INTO THE VIETNAMESE ONE - THE REASONS BEHIND THIS PHENOMENON AND ITS RELATED RESULTS
Authors: Ho Quynh Giang
Published: April 2023

Tea and tea-drinking tradition are dispensable parts of daily life in both Britain and Vietnam. Two of these countries are geographically and culturally far away but there are British nuances in the Vietnamese tea-drinking habits. With the method of processing the online public media sources and hardcopy literature through anthropological illumination, it is discovered that the British features seen in the Vietnamese tea drinking way are blended teas, instant teas, tea bags, teacups, and afternoon tea mini-party. There are anthropological explanations for this phenomenon, among which the most fundamental is about bilateral diplomatic relations. These diplomatic connections push forward the exchanges in economy, education, tourism, and culture between UK and Vietnam. Tea culture, therefore, is also carried out from Britain to Vietnam. The Vietnamese taking these British habits in teatime are viewed as wealthier, busier, younger, socially classier, and more open-minded people. Despite the concern of the previous generations, those young people show a positive attitude toward learning about their traditional tea customs. On the whole, it can be concluded that the British tea-drinking style in Vietnam is not as massive as the other imported cultural products such as music, movie, and fashion but it has built up a social community, which is smaller-sized but niche with the strong qualities mentioned above.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS AFFECTING ENGLISH SPEAKING SKILLS AMONG VIETNAMESE STUDENTS
Authors: Nguyen Thi Thu Ha
Published: April 2023

Speaking English is one of the most difficult abilities for EFL students since there are many factors, both external and internal that condition the learners’ will and skill to perform orally. This paper is aimed at investigating through a literature review the psychological barriers that face EFL students, particularly Vietnamese learners in performing their speaking. The research findings from the investigation show that phenomena like anxiety, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, lack of motivation and ineffective teaching methods are the factors that in many cases lead to poor or even nil language competence and performance. The results prove that students are usually afraid of making mistakes or being judged, they tend to feel tense and nervous, diffident in oral presentations and sometimes they feel confused with their thoughts. The study also proposes some suggestions in order to soften the impact of these factors on the student’s language learning process.

Published: April 2023

This study uses two theories, including social learning theory and experiential learning theory as the basis to orientate for education on accidental injury prevention skills in preschool children. From analyzing the nature of theories, requirements in applying theory, and the relationship between the two learning models mentioned in the social learning theory and experiential learning theory, the study found that it is possible to combine two models in the process of educating of accidental injuries prevention skills for preschool children, in which, the application needs to ensure the requirements, which are: Appreciate the child's learning styles mentioned in both models, and at the same time, choose appropriate educational measures for each learning style and stages of the process of forming accidental injuries prevention skills in children. Specifically, for situations that are easy to cause injuries that are less familiar to children or have never been experienced by children, teachers should give priority to creating conditions for children to observe patterns of actions to respond to the situations before organizing for children to practice by model. However, with situations that children have experienced and have relatively proficient response experiences, teachers should pay more attention to enhancing opportunities for children to interact with the environment as well as practice skills, from which, children can gain appropriate response experiences and their skills will develop better.

Published: April 2023

There are many evidence-based approaches and strategies worldwide for children with autism spectrum disorders that can support reducing the core deficits of these disorders. Therefore, the article compared behavioral approaches and developmental approaches in the intervention for children with autism following the 3 main criteria: (1) Basic requirements and characteristics in intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder; (2) Comparison of behavioral approaches (represented as ABA) and developmental approaches (DIR\Floortime, RDI) in autism spectrum disorder's intervention; and (3) The choice of behavioral approaches and developmental approaches in autism spectrum disorder's intervention. Each approach has its own principles and uses different techniques and methods, so each approach can bring different results. After comparing the research results using these two approaches, it is found that there is no single intervention approach that is effective for all children with ASD. Educators should combine approaches appropriate to each child's developmental stage.

Published: April 2023

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles. It is considered to be a relatively rare disease. Most commonly the first symptoms are associated with ocular muscle weakness resulting in ptosis and/or diplopia that may be progressive during the periods of muscle exertion and resolve with rest. However, any skeletal muscle group may be affected leading to the variability of clinical symptoms and potential challenges in diagnostics. We present a case report of a 62-year-old male that initially presented with bulbar symptoms and unintentional weight loss, with atypical findings in electromyography study (the absence of decrement amplification in a combination of spontaneous muscular activity) – suggestive for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis. After a thorough investigation the diagnosis of ALS was not confirmed but myasthenia gravis was highly suspected and anti-MuSK antibodies came positive. The patient was prescribed Pyridostigmine, Prednisolone and underwent plasmapheresis procedure which led to significant relief of the symptoms.
GENERALIZAÇÃO NO DESENVOLVIMENTO DO PENSAMENTO TEÓRICO
Authors: Moretti Vanessa Dias , Romeiro Iraji de Oliveira , Zeferino Lidiane Chaves
Published: April 2023

O artigo discute a hipótese da convergência entre as ideias de Problema Desencadeador de Aprendizagem (PDA), como a essência da Situação Desencadeadora de Aprendizagem (SDA), e de tarefa de estudo, conforme compreendida na teoria do ensino desenvolvimental. Para isto, discute aspectos da estrutura da atividade de estudo, com foco nas ações de estudo e apresenta a proposta da Atividade Orientadora de Ensino, aprofundando o estudo sobre a constituição da SDA e o PDA como a sua essência. Para demostrar a hipótese, analisa dois Problemas Desencadeadores de Aprendizagem presentes em Situação Desencadeadora de Aprendizagem que aborda o significado de equivalência de frações, na relação com o trabalho com grandezas contínuas. A análise permite afirmar que os PDA apresentados são potencializadores do movimento de desenvolvimento do pensamento teórico sobre frações equivalentes por meio da apropriação dos princípios e modos gerais de ação na comparação de frações quaisquer. Conclui-se que o PDA pode ser entendido como uma tarefa de estudo na atividade de estudo uma vez que, ao desencadear a motivação dos sujeitos para as ações de estudo, favorece a apropriação de modos e princípios da ação, no movimento concreto-abstrato-concreto, inerente à generalização teórica ou substancial. Por fim, defende a possibilidade de uma educação humanizadora e desenvolvente que supere a apropriação apenas da aparência dos fenômenos, na linha de um saber fazer esvaziado de conhecimento teórico. Tal defesa é urgente e necessária para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária.
POSSIBILIDADES E LIMITES DO ATO EDUCATIVO PARA O ENSINO DESENVOLVENTE
Authors: Marino Filho Armando , Mello Suely Amaral
Published: April 2023

Este artigo faz uma análise dos limites do ato educativo para o desenvolvimento cultural da personalidade. Compreende que a personalidade deriva do auto movimento dos sujeitos em relação à atividade educativa dos seus modos de ser. Entende que nas contradições entre as necessidades pessoais e as culturais se estrutura um drama afetivo emocional do desenvolvimento que tem implicações para o processo de ensinar e para o processo de aprender. Considera que o ato educativo precisa respeitar o auto movimento criativo dos sujeitos, mas também, proporcionar as condições materiais e ideacionais no ensino que se guia pela formação de funções psicológicas superiores como autodomínio da relação ativa dos sujeitos com o seu mundo. Compreende, por isso, que o ensino desenvolvente é aquele compartilhado entre educador e sujeito de modo que um não determina o ser do outro, mas juntos criam e recriam as possibilidades para o desenvolvimento de ambos. Nesse sentido, o limite do ato educativo é dado pela necessidade auto criativa e autônoma, momento no qual o educador passa a ser educado pelas necessidades de desenvolvimento da personalidade dos sujeitos educandos, o que implica que estes sejam agentes do seu desenvolvimento cultural.
EXPERIMENTO DIDÁTICO-FORMATIVO, ATIVIDADE DE ESTUDO E A FORMAÇÃO DO CONCEITO DE CRÔNICA: O CASO DE JÚLIA
Authors: Helbel Dioneia Foschiani , Miller Stela
Published: April 2023

Este artigo aborda a relação entre desenvolvimento do pensamento teórico, atividade de estudo e transformações qualitativas que podem ocorrer no psiquismo do aluno, objetivando pôr em discussão o caso específico de uma aluna, durante a realização de um experimento didático-formativo, cujo núcleo central foi uma atividade de estudo para a criação de enunciados do gênero crônica, que teve por objetivo compreender como o aluno se torna autor nesse processo. O experimento, desenvolvido com 36 alunos do curso Técnico em Florestas do Instituto Federal de Rondônia Campus Ji-Paraná/RO, teve como questão norteadora saber quais transformações qualitativas aconteceram no aluno durante o processo de produção do enunciado crônica. Foi desenvolvido, inicialmente, de forma presencial (outubro/novembro de 2019). Em 2020, em virtude da pandemia, passou a ser desenvolvido remotamente e estendeu-se entre maio de 2020 e março de 2021, utilizando tecnologias digitais (Google Meet e WhatsApp). Neste artigo, é feito um recorte desse experimento para apresentar a trajetória de Júlia, marcada, inicialmente, pelo desinteresse, pela desmotivação e pela dificuldade em lidar com o pensamento teórico. Os resultados indicam que, ao ocupar o lugar de sujeito na atividade de estudo, a aluna apropriou-se do conceito de crônica, passou a constituir sentido pessoal para a escrita e a utilizar as crônicas como instrumento de sua ação social criativa e transformadora. O caso de Júlia, a exemplo dos demais sujeitos da investigação realizada, demonstra que o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, organizado por meio da atividade de estudo, cria condições para transformações qualitativas no psiquismo dos alunos.
BASIC SCIENCE CONCEPTS IN THE LENS OF DAVYDOV’S DEVELOPMENTAL INSTRUCTION: INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY FOR 6-7 GRADERS
Authors: Vysotskaya Elena , Rekhtman Lya , Khrebtova Svetlana
Published: April 2023

The Developmental Instruction considers scientific concepts as mental tools with the main function to guide human actions in a certain domain. According to the Developmental Instruction, each concept stems from a goal-oriented activity that should be reconstructed for students from scratch if we want them to learn the concept properly. As Davydov emphasized, this helps students explore all necessary internals and limitations that can hardly be learned in a different way. Fundamental chemistry concepts such as “chemical element” and “chemical reaction” have a long history, and their predecessors underwent several turns and twists on the way to their modern forms. These pre-concepts originated in ancient times and guided the craft of substance transformations, and their modern descendants still do it. The goal-oriented actions of substance transformations are in the focus of our introductory curriculum. Students name the substances they work with using their own words and understanding. Students’ “provisional language” helps them discuss the results of their simple experiments and plan the follow-ups. As the work goes on, students develop their understanding toward the idea of conservation of elements in chemical reactions. Short essays containing no chemical names and formulas describe the relevant chemical transformations and provide the cultural or historical background. Our teaching experience shows that such kind of introduction turns the systematic chemistry course into the answer to the reasonable questions that the students have about substances and their transformations.
PROSTAT SPESİFİK ANTİJEN VE BÖBREK FONKSİYON TESTLERİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN NEDENİ: YAŞ
Authors: Vurgun Eren
Published: April 2023

AMAÇ: İleri yaş erkeklerde sık görülmekte olan prostat ve böbrek hastalıklarının tarama, tanı ve tedavi takiplerinde kullanılmakta olan prostat spesifik antijen (PSA) ve kreatinin, tahmini glomerüler filtrasyon hızı (eGFR), üre ürik asit düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkilerin araştırılması amaçlandı.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Eylül 2017 – Mart 2020 tarihleri arasında 40 yaş ve üzerindeki 7203 erişkin erkek hastaya ait eş zamanlı olarak istenmiş olan serum PSA, kreatinin, üre ve ürik asit sonuçları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Parametreler arasındaki korelasyonlar yaşın etkisi ile birlikte değerlendirildi. Ek olarak PSA yüksekliği ile eGFR azalışı arasındaki çift yönlü ilişki de incelendi.
BULGULAR: Yaş değişkeni kontrol edildiğinde; PSA düzeyleri üzerine kreatinin, üre ve ürik asit düzeylerinin bir etkisi olmadığı (sırasıyla; p=0,63, p=0,28 ve p=0,39), benzer şekilde PSA düzeylerinin de kreatinin, üre ve ürik asit düzeyleri üzerine bir etkisi olmadığı gözlendi (sırasıyla; p=0,22, p=0,25 ve p=0,92). Yaş değişkeni ile birlikte yapılan regresyon analizlerinde; yaş arttıkça PSA yüksekliği görülme riski 1.09 kat artmakta iken kreatinin arttıkça ise riskin anlamlı bir değişim göstermediği tespit edildi (sırasıyla; p<0,001 ve p=0,99). Benzer şekilde yaş arttıkça orta ve ileri derecede eGFR azalış riski 1.11 kat artmakta iken PSA arttıkça ise riskin anlamlı bir değişim göstermediği tespit edildi (sırasıyla; p<0,001 ve p=0,31).
SONUÇ: Çalışmanın bulguları ışığında; yaş arttıkça PSA ve kreatinin düzeylerinin yükselme riski artarken, yaş değişkeni kontrol edildiğinde PSA ve kreatinin düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin ortadan kalktığı ve yüksekliklerinin birbirleri üzerine etkisinin olmadığı sonucuna ulaşıldı.

Blood cardiometabolic impairments are associated to high blood pressure which is a pivot cardiovascular risk factor. The objective of this study was to assess cardiometabolic risk factors rates in subjects with high blood pressure in the steady state.

A total of 292subjects, 107 cases and 185 controls were enrolled in cross-sectional study. Clinical and biological data were assessed during visits and after overnight fasting. Data were analyzed on R. A p-value < 0.05 was considered for statistical significance.

Univariate analysis showed thatage > 50 years, visceral obesity, metabolic syndrome and hs- CRP ≥ 3 mg/L were significant predictors of high blood pressure: OR = 2.1, 95% CI [1.3-3.5], p = 0.003; OR = 1.6, 95% CI [1.0-2.6], p = 0.05;  OR = 3.3; 95% CI [2.0-5.4], p < 0.001;  OR = 16.8; 95% CI [9.4-31.4], p < 0.001, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed a positive association between obesity, metabolic syndrome, hs-CRP and high blood pressure: aOR = 2.29; 95% CI [1.14-4.69], p = 0.02; aOR = 3.47; 95% CI [1.64-7.61], p = 0.001; aOR = 18.10; CI, 2.5% to 95% [9.40-36.99], p < 0.001, respectively. In contrast, female sex was negatively associated with high blood pressure aOR = 0.31; CI, 95% CI [0.13-0.72], p < 0.008.

Prevention policiesshould take into account blood cardiometabolic level for subjects with high blood pressure even though in the steady sate.

The influence of a number of factors on the chromatographic properties of statins (atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin) in normal-phase and reverse-phase chromatography modes has been studied by the method of the thin-layer chromatography (TLC) in order to select the most effective analytical systems for the total and separate determination of statins in pharmaceuticals. The study has been performed by ascending TLC on commercial plates with polar, weakly polar, and nonpolar phases. Efficiency and selectivity of chromatographic separation of statins have been established: the nature of the stationary phase (SF), the nature of the mobile phase (MF), the nature and concentration of the organic solvent of the mobile phase, the ionic strength of the solution. It has been revealed that the most effective SF are the reverse-phase plates RP-18, on which statins are separated with a high value of the number of theoretical plates (N) and the lowest value of the height of the equivalent theoretical plate (H). From organic solvents, the aprotic solvent acetonitrile turned out to be effective, which in the MF of the acetonitrile –water composition (70:30) gives the best results of chromatographic separation of statins. It has been found that with an increase in the ionic strength of the solution in the range of 0.1–1.5 mol (KCl), the mobility of statins changes slightly, which is accompanied by a significant blurring of chromatographic zones and deterioration of statin separation, and therefore no strong electrolyte was introduced in further studies. Binary mixtures of atorvastatin and simvastatin have been separated under selected optimal conditions. It has been found that the greatest selectivity of separation is observed in the MF acetonitrile – phosphate buffer (70:30) at pH 3. Quantitative determination of atorvastatin in «Atorvastatin-OBL», «Liprimar» and «Tulip» drugs has been carried out to optimize the chromatography conditions. The correctness and reliability of the determination has been established using the standard drug atorvastatin, Sr did not exceed 0.01–0.02.
