Authors: Talanta Dimasanggie Elul
Published: November 2021

In the fish pond ecosystem there are various factors that can inhibit fish growth or even kill fish,  one of which is the water factor,  the water itself has various factors,  one of which is the quality of PH levels and amonia levels. Therefore,  this paper discusses the design and manufacture of a control device for PH levels and amonia levels to make it easier for farmers to check PH levels and amonia levels in the pond. This control device uses a DFROBOT V.2 sensor as a PH sensor and a DS18B20 sensor as a temperature sensor as well as an Arduino UNO controller. The method used to control amonia is by comparing the data from PH and the temperature in the pool water,  this tool will work if the amonia level is higher. from 0.8ppm by activating the aerator to keep the amonia in the pool water normal. Meanwhile,  to maintain the PH of the water more than 6 and less than 7,  it is necessary to add pond water by activating the water pump. The results of this study can be used as a reference for future research for the development of Arduino Uno-based PH and amonia level control devices.

Published: November 2021

Along with its development, car manufacturers are increasingly improving safety and security features in each of their products. Currently, this element of safety and security has become an important target in the development of the existence of various features that exist in a vehicle. In this study, the power back door feature is implemented by using the kick foot sensor as input data to open and close the trunk of the vehicle through the actuator. This feature uses a foot sensor so you don't have to press any buttons, just point your foot under the rear bumper and the sensor will automatically read and open the trunk door. This feature is very helpful for passengers who want to put their luggage in the trunk but have both hands to carry items such as bags or plastic shopping bags. There are several stages carried out in this research. In the first stage, the specification of the required actuator motor, including force and torque, is carried out by analyzing the free body diagram to be able to open and close the trunk. In the second stage, the trunk door is tested when the condition is open and close. From the test results, the average time to open the trunk is 11.79 seconds, while the average time to close the trunk is 11.56 seconds. The time obtained is faster than the initial design target set, which is 15 seconds both when opening and closing the trunk. While the sensitivity of the motion sensor can range from 20 mm to 400 mm when the foot is directly under the sensor.

Published: November 2021

Background: Dipylidium caninum, a zoonotic cyclophyllidean tapeworm, mainly infects dogs, cats, and occasionally humans as well. Here, we present D. caninum infection in a domestic cat. A cat of about one year of age with a history of intermittent diarrhea and shedding stool containing whitish cooked rice like soft particles. Methods: The case was identified by thorough clinical, coprological, and parasitological examinations, and treated accordingly. Results: During the physical examination, the cat was found to be infested with flea, and coprological investigation revealed the presence of gravid segments of cestodes. By preparing a permanent slide, we conducted a microscopic examination, and the cestode was confirmed as D. caninum. The cat was treated with albendazole and levamisole, which were ineffective; additionally, levamisole showed toxicity. Then, we administered niclosamide which completely cured the animal. On re-examination after a week, feces were found negative for eggs/gravid segments of any cestode. Conclusion: Niclosamide was found effective against dipylidiasis and can be treated similar infections in pets.

Beka area is situated in the Adamaoua Plateau of Cameroon in central Arica. Lavas in this area has not been studied before the present work.The volcanism of Beka is characterized by basalt, trachyte and phonolite domes and flows. The petrographic study shows that basaltic lavas have porphyritic microlitic textures. The felsic lavas indicate trachytic textures.The rocks are composed of olivine, clinopyroxene, plagioclase and irontitanium oxide minerals for the basalts; clinopyroxene, alkali feldspar (including foids), sphene and titanomagnetite for the felsic lavas. Chemical analyses show that basaltic lavas are basanites. Felsic lavas contain modal feldspathoid (nepheline in phonolites). All these lavas belong to the same series, because the felsic lavas are derived from the differentiation of basaltic lavas by fractional crystallization. They show an alkaline nature according to their geochemistry. Trace elements including Rare Earth Elements characteristics show that rocks emplaced in the Winthin Plate volcanic zone. They derived from an evolved parent magma showing a low degree of partial melting and characteristics closer to a modified and evolved primitive spinel lherzolite.

A survey carried out on conventional or traditional method of sieving wet grains showed that the method consumes time, energy, has low output and efficiency and is also hazardous to health due to low level of hygiene involved. A motorized grain gruel machine was developed at the National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM), Ilorin Nigeria. The machine consists of four major units which are hopper, seiver, separator and the discharge unit. The machine’s performance was evaluated at different water volumes (16.5, 18.5 and 20.5 liters) and at three different operating speeds namely 65.3 rpm, 115.0 rpm and 126.0 rpm. The parameters evaluated are; sieving efficiency, through put and output capacity. The data were analyzed using the New Duncan multiple range test (Post Hoc Test) method and linear regression model was used to establish the relationship between the independent variables with the dependent variable, which was optimized using pulp in python version 2.9 frame work. Results show that the machine performed higher at 20.5litres and 126 rpm to a maximum sieving efficiency of 85.08% and 86.48% respectively, but was optimized to the range of 88.35-92.5% in sieving efficiency and 19.42-23.42kg/hr in output capacity. Also the analysis showed that water volume used had more significant effect on the efficiency and other variables such as the throughput and the output capacity respectively, than the operation speed. It was concluded from the results that the machine saved time and energy, reduced material wastage and hazards and therefore is more efficient than the conventional method. It is recommended that further evaluations should be carried out on the machine using a wider variety and species of grains samples.

Intercultural Education and Competences at School
Authors: Milani Marta , Portera Agostino
Published: November 2021

The present time of globalization, interdependence and multicultural societies has brought about both opportunities and crisis that concern all fields involved with social welfare, especially education (Portera, 2020, 2006). Within the school environment, there is a growing need for intercultural education and competences at the cognitive, emotional and relational levels, which will endow teachers and students with the abilities to operate in linguistically and culturally complex contexts (UNESCO, 2015; Portera, 2013; Deardorff, 2009). However, the concepts of ‘Intercultural Education’ and ‘Intercultural Competences’ are often misunderstood and require more precise definition. The authors review the scientific literature on the aforementioned concepts and then report the results of a study carried out by the Centre for Intercultural Study at the University of Verona (Italy) which examines how teachers who work in different types of schools define and apply the concept of ‘intercultural competences’ in their praxis. The study uses a qualitative research methodology that includes a process of ‘triangulation’. Specifically, a series of semi-structured interviews, focus groups and participant observations were conducted in order to explore teachers’ intercultural competences, especially through the analysis of critical incidents. After discussing the results, the authors outline impplications for teacher education and school praxis in intercultural perspective.

Authors: Alsina Tarrés Miquel , Mallol Macau Cristina
Published: November 2021

Las formas de liderazgo en los centros de educación secundaria son múltiples y variadas, si bien, en la actualidad, las tendencias más innovadoras pasan por esquemas de funcionamiento de tipo transformativo y distributivo. En el artículo se exploran, como objetivo principal, las relaciones entre el estilo de liderazgo y la motivación del profesorado, vistos como componentes complementarios para incrementar el capital profesional de los centros. Se recurre al método (auto)biográfico, tomando como informante un profesional en el campo, con veinte años de experiencia docente, ejercicio de funciones directivas y formación específica en gestión de centros. Como resultado, se recompone la narrativa extraída de tres entrevistas y del Proyecto de Dirección, construyendo una historia de vida (“biografía”, “diagnóstico”, “misión”, “visión y valores”), con la cual se dialoga desde el análisis interpretativo. Se triangulan los datos del informante con referencias de investigaciones actuales y significativas en el campo, tras lo cual se concluye una estrecha relación entre los constructos “distribución del liderazgo” y “motivación docente”. Se discuten, finalmente, las estrategias y propuestas a implementar, poniéndose en valor dinámicas como la discusión y consenso de objetivos, la colaboración entre toda comunidad escolar y la cultura de trabajo en equipo. Todo ello, en última instancia, con el propósito de una mejora del contexto, la experiencia y los resultados educativos del alumnado.

Authors: Ravi Soumiya , Kochhar Aaina , Dhamija Radhika
Published: November 2021

Introduction - The COVID 19 pandemic led to restrictions on the conventional ways of healthcare delivery. Telemedicine provided a viable solution that was in line with the social distancing policies imposed to minimize disease transmission. This demanded physicians adapt to new ways of healthcare delivery. We surveyed geneticists across the country to determine their experience and to ascertain if telegenetics will be a lasting change.

Materials and Methods - A 23 item standardized survey was distributed to various US-based geneticists via email and other social media platforms focusing on their experience of providing care via telemedicine.

Results - We received 69 responses from physicians across 26 states. Of these, 91% practiced in academia. 70% responded that pediatric genetics takes up more than 50% of their practice. 68% had over 50% of their practice switch to telemedicine. 77% felt they could provide adequate care via telemedicine and 94% of providers would like to continue telemedicine post-pandemic.

Conclusion - The future of telemedicine looks promising as the majority of clinicians would like to routinely use telemedicine post-pandemic. Uniform guidelines for use of telemedicine in genetics may need to be proposed by professional societies and supported by federal laws.

Human Rights Violations Through Structural Violence: A Case Study of Human Rights Education in New York City
Authors: Rodríguez-Gómez Diana , Russell S. Garnett
Published: November 2021

A major area of critical scholarship within human rights education (HRE) aims to discover HRE’s revolutionary potential by questioning its relationship to the global human rights regime. However, the very concept of “human rights violations” remains underexamined. This article analyzes the use and function of human rights violations as pedagogical devices. Drawing from qualitative data collected in two public high schools in New York City (2014–2015), this study explores the limitations of teaching human rights through the legal definition of human rights violations. In doing so, HRE positions human rights violations primarily as manifestations of direct violence. We argue that to teach human rights violations also as expressions of structural violence can help students cultivate powerful and transformative forms of knowledge.

Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding PQ loop repeat-containing 2-like, PQLC2L, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. PQLC2L was also differentially expressed in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. PQLC2L mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of PQLC2L in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with luminal A subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. PQLC2L may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding CXADR-like membrane protein, CLMP, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. CLMP was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. CLMP mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of CLMP in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with basal-like, HER2+, and normal-like subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. CLMP may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Long Retention Intervals Impair the Confidence-Accuracy Relationship for Eyewitness Recall
Authors: Spearing Emily Rebecca , Wade Kimberley A.
Published: November 2021

A growing body of research suggests that confidence judgements can provide a useful indicator of memory accuracy under some conditions. One factor known to affect eyewitness accuracy, yet rarely examined in the confidence-accuracy literature, is retention interval. Using calibration analyses, we investigated how retention interval affects the confidence-accuracy relationship for eyewitness recall. In total, 611 adults watched a mock crime video and completed a cued-recall test either immediately, after 1 week, or after 1 month. Long (1 month) delays led to lower memory accuracy, lower confidence judgements, and impaired the confidence-accuracy relationship compared to shorter (immediate and 1 week) delays. Long-delay participants who reported very high levels of confidence tended to be over-confident in the accuracy of their memories compared to other participants. Self-rated memory ability, however, did not predict eyewitness confidence or the confidence-accuracy relationship. We discuss the findings in relation to cue-utilization theory and a retrieval-fluency account.

Published: November 2021

The present study explored the effects of the pandemic on individuals with Down Syndrome (n= 67) compared to other SEND diagnoses (n= 48) and their Typically Developing Siblings (n= 56). In total, 115 caregivers reported on their own anxiety and worries as well as of their children. Anxiety levels for individuals with Down syndrome appeared to be lower compared to other SEND populations and to Typically Developing Siblings. In terms of worries, individuals with Down Syndrome worried more about social-related worries but worried less about family- related aspects compared to the other groups. In sum, individuals with Down Syndrome might show less anxiety but still worried more about specific aspects related to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on their lives.
TOURISM AND VACCINE HESITANCY
Authors: Zhu Oscar Yuheng , Grün Bettina , Dolnicar Sara
Published: November 2021

Vaccine hesitancy is one of the main obstacles facing the tourism industry in its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people are sceptical about the COVID-19 vaccine and decide not to get vaccinated. Our research aims to test the effectiveness of using travel-related incentives to overcome vaccine hesitancy. We investigate (1) whether travel-related beliefs and behaviours are associated with vaccination willingness, and (2) whether alerting people to travel-related freedoms linked to vaccination can increase vaccination willingness. Our results indicate that (1) there is a significant association between people’s international travel history, their desire to travel internationally in the future and vaccination willingness, and (2) this association cannot, however, be leveraged to further increase vaccination willingness as vaccine-related beliefs (safety and efficacy) are the primary drivers of vaccination willingness.
Spatial approach to analyzing dynamics of racial diversity in large U.S. cities: 1990–2000–2010
Authors: Dmowska Anna , Stepinski Tomasz
Published: November 2021

Over the last several decades large U.S. cities became increasingly racially diverse. Understanding spatio-temporal dynamics of this significant social change and identifying its broad trends is important for numerous stakeholders. High resolution population grids, which recently become available for the entire conterminous U.S. and for three-time points from 1990 to 2010, are an ideal dataset for analyzing dynamics of racial diversity. Their value to diversity analysis has been already demonstrated at the level of the entire U.S. as well as at the level of an individual city.In this paper, we demonstrate their value for performing a survey aimed at synthesizing diversity dynamics from different cities in order to identify prevalent nationwide trends. Our survey consists of 41 large cities. 1990-2000-2010 snapshots of racial conditions at each city are provided by respective grids in which each cell is assigned one of nine possible diversity/dominant race categories. All cells with the same diversity label constitute a zone which we refer to as community and measure using a percentage of landscape (PLAND) and an aggregation index (AI) metrics. The inclusion of the AI metric makes it possible to determine not only whether a given community grows or shrinks but also whether it’s merging or fragmenting. We analyze spatio-temporal evolution of communities by tracking changes in the pairs of the values of these metrics. To simplify we categorize these changes into eight categories resulting in 64 possible change trajectories for each community. Trajectories are histogrammed to reveal the variety of scarcity of possible modes of change. Frequent trajectories are identified with broad trends. Eight such trends are identified, they represent the most prevalent racial dynamics in the U.S. during the decades of 1990-2010. Two trends correspond to the decay of whites-only and blacks-only communities. The remaining six trends correspond to the expansion of Hispanics, Asian, and racially diverse communities. Trends do not show regional dependence, they truly reflect profound social change occurring across the entire U.S.

Annotation. Soluble growth stimulating factor (sST2) is a new biomarker that has recently been used quite successfully in cardiology. However, the possible genetic component of peptide production has not been sufficiently studied. The aim of the study was to assess the plasma level of sST2 and other aspects of the phenotypic implementation of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs950880 of the IL1RL1 gene in men without cardiovascular disease in the Podillia region, Ukraine. 70 men who met the criteria for inclusion/non-inclusion in the study were examined, general clinical, laboratory and instrumental methods were used. Genotyping of SNP rs950880 variants of the IL1RL1 gene was performed using an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction, the concentration of sST2 in blood was investigated using the method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Mathematical processing of the obtained results was performed using the standard statistical package Statistica 12.0. The mean concentration of sST2 in the plasma of men without signs of cardiovascular disease is 22.14±0.86 ng/ml. It was found that among men without cardiovascular diseases, residents of Podillia, the most common carriers of the C allele and variants of CC and CA SNP rs950880 of the IL1RL1 gene, carriers of variant AA are four times less common (p<0.05). It was determined that the main phenotypic feature of SNP rs950880 of the IL1RL1 gene is a higher plasma level of sST2 in CC homozygotes (23.34±1.22 ng/ml) compared with AA homozygotes (18.13±0.85 ng/ml, p<0,01). The obtained results will be the basis for further studies of the phenotypic implementation of the SNP rs950880 gene of the IL1RL1 gene in patients with cardiovascular pathology, in particular, with essential hypertension.

Annotation. The use of nanotechnology in the medical, food, pharmaceutical, biotechnology industries today is an important scientific progress and valuable human heritage. Nanoemulsion technology is an ideal method for the manufacture of encapsulating systems for functional compounds, as it prevents their biotechnological biodegradation and improves their functional availability in the cells of the body. The aim of the article is a scientific-theoretical and practical review of the nutritional and valeological properties of nanoemulsions, their use for encapsulation of various nutraceuticals, namely fat-soluble vitamin D. The in vitro experiment was performed using Franz diffusion cells to study the release of bioactive compounds from nanocarriers. The cytotoxicity of nanoemulsions was investigated by analyzing the proliferation of thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (TTB) cells and nasal epithelial cells as an “in vitro” model. The article provides to characterize the nutritional and valeological properties of nanoemulsions and to experimentally investigate hydrogels based on nanoemulsions as biocarriers of vitaminized compounds. During the study, low- and high-energy nanoemulsions were created, which were used for encapsulation of vitamin D3 and biologically active supplement - curcumin. Loaded nanoemulsions are added to homopolymer and copolymer hydrogels based on polysaccharides and their combinations. Both nanoemulsions and hydrogels are structurally characterized to evaluate the effect of the composition on the emulsification process by their properties. The cytotoxic effect of nanoemulsions "in vitro" on the epithelium of nasal cells, which had a positive therapeutic effect, was studied. In the future, further exploration and research will investigate the use of nanoemulsions as biocarriers for other vitamins and bioactive substances.
Course of labor and condition of the newborn in women affected by benign ovarian tumors

Annotation. According to various estimations, the incidence of adnexal neoplasms during pregnancy makes up from 0.19% to 8.8%. Most of cases are diagnosed in the first trimester and their incidence gradually decreases as the period of pregnancy grows. Depending on their size and location, ovarian tumors may be related to an adverse obstetrical result caused by mechanical influence. They increase the risk of abortion (from 0 to 6%), preterm labor (from 5.8% to 10.4%) and mechanical impediment to labor. Aim – studying the peculiarities of the course of labor and the condition of the newborn of women affected by benign ovarian tumors. We have conducted a complex examination of 67 pregnant women with benign ovarian tumors and tumor-like growths found before pregnancy or in the first trimester of gestation (basic group) and 50 women presenting no ovarian neoplasms or any other severe gynecological or somatic pathology (reference group). To identify the risk factors, the basic group was divided into 2 subgroups. The condition of fetuses was assessed with the use of automated cardiotocography analysis based on the Dawes/Redman criteria, with the calculation of the short-term variability (STV). The mean and standard deviation (M ± m) were evaluated at a significance level of p <0.05. Categorical variables are presented as the absolute number of cases in the group and the frequency in percent – n (%). Tests for differences between independent samples in the case of quantitative variables were performed using Student’s t test, the Mann-Whitney rank test, and in the case of categorical variables using Fisher’s exact test. The obtained results suggest that the course of labor in women affected by benign ovarian neoplasms is characterized by an increased incidence of complications. A significant difference has been established in the incidence of cesarean sections (35.8% vs 8.0% in the reference group, р<0.05), preterm labor (28.4% vs. 6.0%, р<0.05), fetal distress (19.4% vs. 8.0%, р<0.05) and preterm rupture of membranes (17.9% vs. 6.0%, р<0.05). The incidence of almost all complications of labor in Subgroup 1 significantly exceeds the figures from the reference group and the incidence of preterm labor and fetal distress is also higher in comparison with Subgroup 2. The presence of extragenital pathology is a well-known risk factor for perinatal complications, which is also confirmed by our research. A high level of comorbidity of benign ovarian neoplasms with various extragenital diseases also accounts to a certain degree for gestational complications. Thus, pregnancy in women affected by ovarian tumors implies an increased risk of obstetrical and perinatal complications, in particular, threats of miscarriage and preterm labor. The studies of this issue lack systematization, are often controversial and fragmentary. There has been practically no research on the risk factors for such complications and the ways of their prognostication and prevention.
Empirical study of suicide intentions of adolescents

The article analyzes the features of suicidal ideation of adolescents. The phenomenon of suicide as a human behavior aimed at intentional self-harm with a fatal end, self-destruction is considered. The general signs of suicidal intent are analyzed: verbal signs (notification of one's intention to others); behavioral signs (significant changes in behavior: larger indifference on their appearance, disruption of the attention process, missing school, avoidance of communication with peers); situational signs (betraying their legacy, cowardice or excessive aggression, clash with important people, disruption of relationship). As a result of empirical research, it was found that the studied adolescents are characterized by a mostly low level of anxiety, which is an indicator of the stability of the emotional state and lack of anxiety; low and medium level of frustration, and adolescents are confident, responsible, resistant to failure, are not afraid of difficulties; adolescents have an average rate of aggression, which is characterized by coming into student’s conflicts, to prove their point, using elements of aggression to assert themselves and maintain their status in the peer group; the average indicator of rigidity testifies to their stability in the actions provoked by unforeseen events; found that some adolescents clearly expressed the dominance of emotions over intellectual control in assessing the situation, readiness to respond to a traumatic situation rather emotionally than logically, existing social pessimism as a negative concept of the world, also, they are characterized by demonstrativeness (demonstration of suicidal intentions) of the willingness to attract public attention of others to themselves, their problems, to achieve compassion and awareness. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop a system of socio-psychological measures to reduce suicidal ideation among adolescents.
