Enduring Effects: Name Mispronunciation and/or Change in Early School Experiences
Authors: Bonnett Tina , Sok Bonika
Published: February 2023

A person’s name(s) is typically tied to their family, culture, and sense of identity. Consequently, when a child’s name is inaccurately pronounced, altered, or avoided, a host of adverse consequences may transpire. Although seemingly innocuous, this necessitates attention, as name mispronunciation and change perpetuate microaggressions ubiquitous for marginalized populations, often in school contexts. In reflection of this, an Intrinsic Case Study, underpinned by a Social Constructivist Philosophical paradigm, was conducted to assemble the experiences of three adults in Ontario, Canada, who had their names mispronounced or changed in early educational experiences. The findings of this research signify that name mispronunciation and modification are pervasive and that teachers are often central contributors to this phenomenon. Moreover, findings denote that discord between one’s identity and cultural self is affiliated with name-orientated microaggressions. Participants of this study beseech teachers to denounce insensitive practices by pledging to accurately pronounce and honour each child’s name and in so doing engender more favourable longitudinal outcomes.
From Assessment for Learning to Assessment for Expansion: Proposing a New Paradigm of Assessment as a Sociocultural Practice
Authors: Nishizuka Kohei
Published: February 2023

Although the importance of formative assessment has been recognized worldwide, the theoretical foundation is insufficiently captured within a broader sociocultural context that promotes teachers and students building an assessment culture. This study proposes a theoretical framework that supports the claim that formative assessment aims to accelerate an agentic process of transforming and improving the teaching–learning activity systems rather than helping teachers mold students with traditional values and cultural discourses. The characteristics of formative assessment were organized for each of the learning metaphors: acquisition, participation, and expansion. In this paper, assessment for expansion is defined as a form of formative assessment to facilitate expansive learning toward a process of making teaching–learning better, of which the functional core is sociocultural feedback with reference to situational criteria. Next, the theoretical discussions demonstrate that assessment for expansion emerges from making a third space and forming a culturally fitted tool for realistic and sustainable practical judgements. These conditions, which work within a continuum of problematic, ends-in-view, and expanded contexts, recognize the impact of assessments in associating a single student’s voice with a school- and community-wide problem. In conclusion, the possibilities and challenges of assessment for expansion are discussed from theoretical and practical perspectives.
Collaborative Learning to Foster Critical Reflection by Pre-service Student Teachers within a Canadian–South African Partnership
Authors: Kruger Corné , Buley Jan
Published: February 2023

Teachers often enter practice with a narrow perspective of teaching. Through critical reflection, the minds of pre-service teachers can be opened to the bigger realities of teaching and social justice practice. Paired pre-service student teachers from two diverse university settings, Canada and South Africa, were immersed in a collaborative learning experience that involved exchanges through email, text messages, and artwork collages. As lecturers, we implemented action research to determine how to foster critical reflection by pre-service teachers from diverse education contexts. We anticipated the diverse contexts to serve as a disrupting incident in support of critical reflection and possibly also transformative learning. Findings confirm that the collaborative reflective learning across contexts supported the development of critical reflective skills and provided an opportunity for students to confront their own assumptions of ethical and moral teaching practice. Revised strategies are suggested to support deeper critical reflections in collaborative learning across teaching contexts to support transformative learning.

Published: February 2023

Lipid-based drug delivery systems offer several advantages and have wide solubility, permeation, and bioavailability enhancement applications. This review provides detailed information on the fabrication, application and aspects of QbD of various lipid-based vesicles. Most of the review studies focused on lipid-based vesicles without the QbD aspect. This review article covers all the lipid-based systems in escalating on the method of QbD, which enhances the bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients in different formulation approaches. Among all the different available approaches towards formulation development, lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS) have continually maintained the limelight on themselves. One of the reasons for the popularity of LBDDS is their ability to solve problems with poorly water-soluble drugs and their bioavailability. Several drugs' efficacy was improved by utilizing this type of delivery system. Vesosomes, Phytosomes, Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs), Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLCs), and Archaeosomes are novel lipid-based systems with unique applications in drug delivery. Hence, the present perspective is to review the various LBDDS approaches utilized to enhance the formulations' performance while dissecting the studies systematically to get a clear outline of various LBDD subsystems, their applications, methods of preparation, and the mechanism of drug delivery. In addition to this, the review also focuses on overcoming the lacunas of the past literature by making an attempt to identify Quality target product profile (QTPP), Critical quality attributes (CQAs) and applying them for the statistical design of experiments and continuous strategy by QbD at the same time harnessing their potential in risk assessment. Applying QbD in developing lipid-based drug delivery systems reduces the number of trials and yields a product with in-built quality as it deliberates various critical variables, process parameters, risk assessment, and control strategy in formulation development.

Published: February 2023

Neonates are particularly susceptible to infections caused by exposure to microorganisms during labor or shortly after birth. Some neonates require treatment in the NICU and perinatal rooms because of cases of infection that require antibiotics as therapy. This study aimed to determine the pattern of antimicrobial administration, antimicrobial rationality, and its relationship to clinical outcomes. This study used a cross-sectional design with prospective data collection using the medical record of neonates in the NICU and Perinatal rooms at RSUD Banjarnegara during November 2020-January 2021. The samples in this study were all neonatal patients who received antibiotics. Evaluation of antibiotics use was carried out using the Gyssens method. Descriptive analysis was conducted to determine the description of the research sample and the antibiotics used. A total of 131 samples had normal birth weight characteristics of 71%. The single antibiotic most frequently used as amoxicillin (21 patients), and the combination antibiotic was ampicillin+gentamicin (106 patients). The results of the evaluation using the Gyssens method showed that patients received 265 antibiotics, 85.55% were in category 0, 8.75% in category IIa, 3.8% in category IIIb, and 1.9% in category IIb. Of the 131 neonates treated, 124 patients were declared improved and 7 others died. The correlation between antibiotic rationality and clinical outcomes was analyzed by Chi-square, the result of the Asymp value. Sig (2-sided) 0.138 which means there is no relationship between the two. The rationality and effectiveness of clinical outcomes of antibiotics used during the study were considered good because the number of patients who were discharged with improved conditions was much greater than those who died.

Wounds are tissue damage that is generally caused by physical contact. Wound healing is a complex mechanism involving biochemical and biocellular processes. Various therapies can be done to speed up the wound healing process, one of which is treatment using natural ingredients. One of the plants that have the potential to heal wounds is Oncidium Aliceara alice. The purpose of this study was to determine the phytochemical content of Oncidium Aliceara alice and its activity in wound healing when it is formulated in a gel form. This research is experimental research with extraction stages, phytochemical assay, gel formulations, quality test, and wound healing activity tests in animals. The gel formulation was made with various concentrations of Oncidium Aliceara alice extract 2.5%, 5% and 10%. Male Sprague Dawley rats were given an incision wound on the dorsum of the longitudinal axis along 3 cm. Wound care by administering topical Bioplacenton as a positive control, base gel as a negative control, and gel extract concentration variants according to each treatment group. Based on the research, the results of qualitative phytochemical tests showed that the 70% ethanol extract of Oncidium Aliceara alice contains flavonoids (catechins), tannins, steroids, and saponins. The best results were seen on the 7th day of observation for the 10% gel extract treatment group with more perfect signs of wound closure than the bioplacenton treatment.

Authors: LE KAIDI , liu min , ma yinglin , Yan Jiaqing , li guohui
Published: February 2023

Background: Antineoplastic therapy with the tyrosine kinase
inhibitor(TKI) apatinib in patients with advanced or metastatic gastric
or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma(GC) has been associated with
hypertension (HTN), but little is known about predisposing clinical
characteristics. This study describes the real-world association between
baseline clinical characteristics and blood pressure (BP) response in
patients prescribed apatinib with GC. Methods: 55 GC patients treated
with apatinib were collected from the 1st December 2016 to the 1st
December 2020 using medical records retrospectively. Outcomes were
defined using the National Cancer Institute’s Common Terminology
Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0. Univariate and multivariable logistic
regression were used to investigate potential clinical risk factors.
Results: 45.45% of patients were evaluated for apatinib-related HTN and
Grade 3 HTN occurred 16.36% of patients. Median maximal systolic blood
pressure (SBP) during apatinib treatment was 153 mmHg with median time
to event of 25 days. New-onset HTN occurred in 10/33 (30.30%) patients.
pre-existing HTN(odds ratio [OR]: 4.155; 95% confidence interval
[CI]: 1.252-13.787; p =0.020 was key independent risk factors
associated with apatinib-related HTN. Conclusions: More thorough BP
monitor prior to starting apatinib especially in patients with
pre-existing hypertension may reduce cardiovascular risk.

Contrasting risk patterns from humans and a large carnivore influence the habitat selection of shared prey

Published: February 2023

Spatial patterns of human hunting and predation risk are mediated by the
physical landscape, with human hunting risk often associated with
habitat features contrasting those linked to risk from large carnivores.
Risk patterns from hunters and large carnivores can also vary in time,
which may allow prey species to adjust anti-predator strategies not only
in risky places but also during risky times. We examined whether moose
(Alces alces) in south-central Scandinavia adjusted diel habitat
selection during and after the hunting season in response to contrasting
human hunting and wolf (Canis lupus) predation risks. We found evidence
for a diel and seasonal shift in habitat selection of moose consistent
with a behavioural adaptation to no human hunting risk at night and
after the hunting season. We found no evidence that moose responded to
the spatiotemporal variation in wolf predation risk since moose selected
habitats of high wolf predation risk both day and night during and after
the hunting season. Human hunting risk was therefore the main driver of
moose habitat selection during the hunting season while decreasing in
importance during times when hunting did not occur. However, since we
did not find evidence for a diel or seasonal shift in habitat selection
consistent with an increase in the importance of wolf predation risk
during the night and after the hunting season, our study is in line with
the notion that moose in Scandinavia are currently naïve to wolves. Our
findings show the importance of including the effects of humans in
studies of predator-prey dynamics within anthropogenic landscapes. An
increased understanding of the risk effects arising from humans and
large carnivores and the responses of prey might be important for
managing ungulate populations, since behaviours aimed at reducing
exposure to risk may also affect crucial demographic traits like growth
and reproduction.
El cultivo del pensamiento crítico a través de la tutoría universitaria: una nueva oportunidad tras la Covid-19
Authors:   Universitat de Barcelona, Bara Francisco Esteban , Caro Samada Carmen ,   Universidad Inter­nacional de La Rioja
Published: February 2023

University tutoring is, with some exceptions, in a state that should concern us. The model in recent years is sporadic, optional meetings generally used to clarify doubts about academic content, solve problems with completing tasks, review assessment results, and find solutions for students’ personal problems that affect their progress in modules. This model of tutoring may make it possible to resolve problems, but it is a limited and insubstantial version of what it could be. There is case for saying that its leitmotiv is university character education, principally what has come to be called the critical spirit or thinking. In addition, it seems that this is what the contemporary social and professional reality misses and demands: university graduates who think for themselves, always seek the truth of things, and focus on the common good. Covid-19, with all of the impact it has had for universities, especially ones that work face-to-face, offers a new opportunity for tutoring, an opportunity to reestablish it. The new situation has brought both a pedagogical-technological message and an ethical one. Both can reestablish tutoring as an ongoing, deep, and unending conversation that enriches other university situations and opens doors that lead to the best version of oneself. This work has a three-part objective: to present arguments that hold that the main purpose of tutoring is cultivation of the critical spirit or thinking; to identify obstacles raised some years ago and possibilities that the new situation brings; and, finally, to suggest a series of future-oriented conclusions so that our universities can give tutoring the place it deserves in line with their circumstances.
Nuevas virtudes digitales o virtudes para el contexto digital: ¿es necesaria una nueva educación del carácter?
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Fuentes Juan Luis , Valero Berzosa Jorge ,   Universidad Internacional de La Rioja
Published: February 2023

No one questions the fact that technology has colonized various aspects of our lives. We make use of technology in our work in a great variety of professional fields, in establishing our social relationships or in order to look for on-the-spot information. This new digital world generates different reactions, which del range from pessimism arising from the risks provoked by a certain confusion, perplexity and, at times moral blockage, to an optimistic outlook based on the possibilities the digital world offers for human development. This article is centred at the intersection of these two viewpoints and aims to examine whether the digital world demands a new paradigm of virtues — a substantial change — or whether it simply requires an updating of the classical pattern of virtues to the new circumstances produced by technological change. The article will set out some of the principal characteristics which are provoked by the almost total presence of technology in our lives and will focus on the virtue of critical thinking, which has become especially necessary in view of problems of infoxication, post-truth or the more and more common methods of online fraud and abuse. After analysing these aspects and the limits of technology and of the digital paradigm, we argue that in the present-day context there are no elements which are incompatible with the classical conception of the virtues. It is certainly true that new challenges will emerge in character education in view of students’ immersion in the use of IT and that this situation will mean that certain virtues will require special reappraisal; such will be the case of critical thought, responsibility and the protection of privacy. However, there is no reason to suppose that the pillars of Aristotelian ethics have been in any way altered or have become obsolete. We defend the idea that an updating and adjustment to a demanding new context is preferable to any really substantial change, since the foundation and objectives of the ethics of virtue remain unchanged in the digital world.
Development of novel integrated pest management strategies against wireworms (Agriotes spp.) in French corn
Authors:   , Bourdon Pierre
Published: February 2023

Wireworms, the larvae of the click beetle are a major polyphagous soil pest, damaging crops such as corn, wheat, or potatoes. The withdrawal of registration of many chemical insecticides left farmers with a limited number of solutions against wireworms and soil pests. Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) can be useful against wireworm; yet they are slow acting and species dependent. To override these limitations, stress and kill strategies were tested, combining spinosad and different Metarhizium strain against three different wireworm species from the genera Agriotes. Combining spinosad and M. brunneum could increase the mortality of the EPF strains; yet, the susceptibility of the Agriotes species differs for each combination (Chapter I). The aim of the PhD was to develop new integrated pest management strategies against wireworms to avoid important corn yield losses. Developing pest management strategies using EPF seemed unreliable; thus, fungal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were tested for their fumigant and attractant/ repellent activity (Chapter II and III). In Chapter II, fumigation using 1-octen-3-ol and 3-octanone was tested against wireworm (Agriotes lineatus), corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) and garden chafer (Phyllopertha horticola). The VOCs were highly efficacious in a closed environment (Chapter II); yet, in open containers, no mortality was observed (Chapter III). In this experiment, the VOCs had attractant/ repellent properties depending on the species. In silico study, confirmed that corn rootworm could detect and recognize the VOCs with their odorant binding proteins. As odorant binding proteins are well conserved between species, it is expected that wireworm and garden chafer can also detect and recognize the VOCs. In chapter IV, the VOCs were formulated as slow-release granules. These granules facilitate application of the VOCs in the field and increase the remanence of the VOCs in the soil. In fact, to avoid economic damage, wireworms need to be repelled from maize seedlings during the three first weeks of growth. Four doses of 1-octen-3-ol cyclodextrin granules were tested to reduce wireworm damage on maize. The lowest dose (2.26kg/ha) was attractive and increased damage; but doses of 4.52kg/ha or higher, significantly reduced damage for 18 days. The granule formulation needs to be optimized to increase the duration of the protection, but early indications suggest that VOCs granules appear to be a possible candidate to achieve wireworm control.

In today’s world, the amount of available information grows exponentially every day. Most of this data is visual data. Correspondingly, the demand for the algorithm of image rent is growing. Traditionally, the first approaches to computer vision problems were classical algorithms without the use of machine learning. Such approaches are limited by many factors. First of all, the conditions imposed on the input images are applied – the shooting angle, lighting, position of objects on the scene, etc. Other classical algorithms cannot meet the needs of modern computer vision problems. Neural network approaches and deep learning models have largely replaced classical programming algorithms. The greatest advantage of deep neural networks in computer vision tasks is not only the possibility of automatically building data processing algorithms that cannot be built in any other way, but also the comprehensiveness of such an approach – actual deep neural networks provide all stages of image processing from start to finish. But. This approach is not always optimal. Training models require a large amount of annotated data to avoid the effect of overfitting such models. In many settings, the conditions have a significant degree of variability, but are limited. In such cases, the combination of both approaches of computer vision is fruitful – pre-processing of the image is performed by classical algorithms, and prediction (classification, object search, etc.) is performed by a neural network. This article noted an example of the use of damaged images in the classification of tasks (in the extreme cases, the percentage of damage reached 60 % of the image area). We have shown in practice that the use of classic approaches for restoration of damaged areas of the image (inpainting) made it possible to increase the final accuracy of the model by up to 10 % compared to the base model trained under identical conditions on the original data.
Identifying relevant characteristics for the development of a hyper-casual game
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Voloshko Taras , Shestakevych Tetiana ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: February 2023

The game industry works to meet the needs of millions of users, so developers are actively improving existing games and developing a new one. Hyper-casual is a game with a simple plot, simple mechanics, and a primitive user interface. Despite the seeming simplicity, such games are popular and bring significant profits to developers. The life cycle of a hypercasual game can be quite short – a few weeks, or months, which also involves a limited time to develop such a game. It is advisable to have a tool to identify, evaluate and consider the characteristics of successful hyper-casual games. Therefore, the actual task is to develop a structure for describing a hyper-casual game so that, based on such structured data, a decision can be made regarding the relevant characteristics of a successful game. Hyper-casual games in the entertainment industry are one of the genres of games for mobile platforms. To determine the relevant characteristics of such a game, it is necessary to accumulate data on successful games, determine the general characteristics common to all hyper-casual games, to structure the obtained data, and select the characteristics that affect the success of the game. To decide on the relevance of characteristics, it is worth analyzing the structured data describing the game. The selected characteristics will be implemented in the hyper-casual game. The relevant characteristics of the game are a significant criterion for choosing a game engine for game development. According to such criteria, it is worth evaluating popular game engines – GameMaker, Godot, Unreal Engine, and Unity. To decide on the best engine, it is advisable to use the analytic hierarchy method. Facebook Analytics will be used to accumulate data on the success of the developed game. The proposed concept of determining the relevant characteristics of various information technologies will allow combining such technologies into a single system.
1 Victims navigating justice in island communities: An exploration of victims’ experiences of the criminal justice system and quality of justice services provided in Trinidad and Tobago
Authors: Cleghorn Leah L.
Published: February 2023

The criminal justice system in Trinidad and Tobago, like other Anglophone Caribbean islands, is a remnant of its colonial past. While there have been some reforms to improve the quality and type of police and justice services provided, the issues justice users encounter in their access and engagement remain underexplored. Using interview data from direct and indirect victims, this paper explores the complexities of victims’ experiences and their implications on the quality and type of police and justice services provided. Victims’ narratives expressed varied experiences in interpersonal treatment, information services, input and engagement, and effectiveness and efficiency of the process. Many were required to navigate interpersonal, structural, and systemic barriers which led to institutionalized secondary victimization, as well as feelings of silencing and inequality. The findings suggest that victims’ experiences were influenced by the legacies of colonialism which continue to persist in island communities. Such as, imbalances in power, behaviours within institutions that promote solidarity networks, negotiation, informal systems, and processes. The narratives of victims intimate that there is a need for change and the adoption of an approach that not only improves the quality of justice services provided but empowers victims through the process.
