Authors: Guerrero Beltran Juan Manuel , Flórez Delgado Yenny Paola , Pérez Jimenez Maria Fernanda , Perez Pereira Nicole Marie
Published: October 2022

This project focuses on a qualitative research method called intrinsic case study, which aims to explore and analyze the contributions of printed material in the teaching of English as a foreign language in four public and elementary schools in rural and urban areas of Saboyá, Boyacá. The project arose due to the changes that occurred in distance learning from June to November 2020. The instruments used to collect information were a survey, a structured interview, and the printed material designed by the teachers. The results of the research showed the decision-making process that the teachers carried out when preparing their classes, in which they included topics from other subjects. This methodology is known as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL).  In addition, the design of the printed material was suitable to achieve the objectives of the class and helped the students to improve their fine motor skills and English vocabulary

Published: October 2022

The main object of this research study was to enhance the Communicative Competence of fifth graders through the use of traditional Colombian games in virtual and in-person settings in an EFL classroom. The participants of this research study were thirty-three (33) students from a public school in Tunja, Boyacá, Colombia. This study is framed as qualitative Action Research. The methodological procedure implemented to collect data was based on the application of seven (7) workshops based on traditional Colombian games where the students were able to strengthen their Communicative Competence and use language in authentic school contexts, virtually and in-person classes. Three different instruments were taken into account in order to collect data: Video recordings, semi-structured interviews and a field journal. The findings of this research study revealed that the use of traditional Colombian games developed the Communicative Competence of the students, giving them tools to communicate in an authentic school context and not only during the development of the workshops but from now on as well. Regarding the motivation, it was evident that being able to interact with their classmates and teachers during the implementation of the games, made the students feel more comfortable and willing to participate in the activities proposed. Finally, the versatility of the workshops is a useful tool that allows us to cover much more topics, levels of language and settings (virtual and in-person) than usual
In Search of Physical and Chemical Treatments for Artificial Ripening of ‘Piarom’ Date Fruit
Authors: Fallahi Esmaeil
Published: October 2022

‘Piarom’ date (Phoenix dactylifera) is one of the semi-arid and commercially important cultivars in Iran. In Ahvaz region of Iran, most of the date cultivars, including ‘Piarom’, turn sour and fall prematurely, during the rutab stage, due to high moisture content, leading to a major yield reduction. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate different methods of artificial ripening of ‘Piarom’ dates in the khalal and rutab stages. The treatments included immersing the ‘Piarom’ fruit in acetic acid (1% and 2%) and NaCl (1%and 2%) solutions and freezing treatments for three times of 24, 48, and 72 hours. Harvesting of Khalal was done at three different times from the beginning of Khalal stage and once every two weeks. Fruit receiving an acidic acid application at 2% in all immersion and harvest treatments had the highest speed and percentage of transformation of khalal to rutab. Crop with a 2% acidic acid immersing treatment at the first and third harvests had the highest desirable fruit-finish. The highest percentage of desirable dates in the first and second harvests was related to 72- and 24-hours freezing treatments, respectively. By delaying the harvesting time, the moisture content of the khalals decreased significantly. The moisture content percentage of fruit obtained from chemical and physical treatments was higher than that of natural dates. There was no significant difference among different harvesting times regarding soluble solids concentration (SSC), titratable acidity (TA) and percentage of reducing sugar of khalal fruit. In general, the SSC of artificially ripened fruit was lower than that of natural ‘Piarom’ dates. During all three harvest times, the TA level of date fruit obtained from chemical treatments was significantly affected by the treatments. In all three harvests, there was no significant difference among chemical treatments regarding of reducing sugars percentage. In all three harvests, the reducing sugar content of frozen fruit was lower than that of natural dates. According to the study, acetic acid at 2% was more successful than other treatments if it did not have a bad effect on the taste and aroma of the fruit. Thus, we suggest that the impact of other acid-containing compounds, but without the poor taste of acidic acid, such as acid extracts from other fruit be experimented for the ripening of ‘Piarom’ date in the future.

The sowing is the narration of a dream that Federico Luis Gómez had one night in May of 2011. The dream reveals his illusions, fears and values while describing habitual and extraordinary situations in his environment. Although Federico decided to give a title to his narration in Spanish, the entire narration and the dream itself occur in San Pablo Güilá Zapotec. The narration is in the first person singular, so the text constitutes an analytical challenge given the complexity of the inflectional morphology of the language in this domain.
Guyaguk and the Development of the Wooden Coffin and Wooden Chamber Burials of the Gimhae Region in the Proto-Three Kingdoms Period
Authors:   Central Institute of Cultural Heritage, Choi Byung-Hyun
Published: October 2022

In the Gimhae region, wooden coffin burials first began to be constructed around the late second to early first century BCE (when archaic style wajil pottery first came to be used in the Yeongnam region) in a social context in which dolmen burials were still being used. The wide-spread use of wooden coffin burials in the Gimhae region took place from the mid first century CE, when the tradition of using dolmen burials came to an end. It is believed that the establishment of Guyaguk also occurred around this time.
The construction of wooden coffin burials in the Gimhae region was at first limited to the Haebancheon River region (centered around the Daeseong-dong burial ground) and the Jomangang River region (centered around the Yangdong-ri burial ground). This use of wooden coffin burials can be seen to represent the stratified nature of Early Guyaguk society at the time, with burials containing bronze mirrors as grave goods likely having been the final resting place of political leaders. The distribution of bronze mirror burials indicates that the political center was not fixed during the Early Guyaguk phase.
The construction of wooden chamber burials in the Gimhae region began at around the mid-second century CE, which is when new style wajil pottery made an appearance during the late Proto-Three Kingdoms period in the Yeongnam region. Wooden chamber burials in the late Proto-Three Kingdoms period were only constructed at burial grounds in the Haebancheon River region and at the Yangdong-ri burial ground in the Jomangang River region. The nature of the burials indicates that, compared to the early phase, the stratification of Guyaguk society had intensified.
The presence of impressive wooden chamber burials at the Yangdong-ri burial ground, which date to the late Proto-Three Kingdoms and have yielded large iron weapons and rod-shaped iron axes, illustrate the development of the political power base. However, the fact that even greater wooden chamber burials were constructed at the Daeseong-dong burial ground indicates that the guk-eup (political center) which produced the political leader of Late Guyaguk society was a settlement based in the Haebangcheon River region. Nevertheless, it appears that the guk-eup’s control over the rest of the settlements was still relatively weak, which resulted in the construction of impressive wooden chamber burials at the Yangdong-ri burial ground as well.

The aim of the study was to review the legislation and legal framework for the cultivation of non-native tree species in Slovenian forests. In the EU, several legal instruments are relevant for the introduction, use and management of non-native tree species, e.g. the Council Directive on the marketing of forest reproductive material, the Habitats Directive and the Regulation on the prevention and control of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species. In Slovenian legislation, the area of their introduction and potential impact is regulated primarily by the Nature Conservation Act, but also important are the Decree on Special Protection Areas (Natura 2000 areas), the Forest Act, the Forest Reproductive Material Act, the Regulations on the Designation of Seed Areas and the Decree on Protected Wild Plant Species. According to the legislation, the cultivation of non-native trees is not prohibited in Slovenia for the implementation of forestry activities, immigration is allowed, and the introduction of new non-native species requires an appropriate procedure that includes an environmental impact assessment and is approved by the competent minister. Slovenian legislation thus provides opportunities for the cultivation of non-native tree species, which could be of crucial importance for the adaptation of forests to climate change due to their better resistance to biotic and abiotic factors, as well as of economic importance due to their faster growth and timber quality.
New records of Painted Button-quail Turnix varius in North Queensland suggest a distribution through southern and central Cape York Peninsula
Authors:   Research and Recovery of Endangered Species, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Queensland, St Lucia QLD 4072, Australia, Webster Patrick , Leseberg Nicholas , Murphy Stephen , Watson James
Published: October 2022

The current ornithological literature describes the Painted Button-quail Turnix varius having a distribution in Queensland that reaches its northern limit around Cooktown. North of Cooktown, the species is thought to be replaced by the Buff-breasted Button-quail T. olivii in savanna habitats of Cape York Peninsula. Here we present observations of Painted Button-quail at four locations throughout southern and central Cape York Peninsula, representing a northern range extension of at least ~150 km. Breeding was confirmed at one location. Whether these observations represent a recent northern expansion or a portion of their distribution that has until now been unrealised is uncertain. In addition, we present four skins and a clutch of eggs labelled as Painted Button-quail collected on Cape York Peninsula that have remained absent from current literature, although we argue that one specimen is inaccurate and the others need to be treated cautiously. This northern range extension for the Painted Button-quail has implications for reports of Buff-breasted Button-quail from Cape York Peninsula.
Retaining the ‘art’: Painted Button-quail Turnix varius do make platelets in north-eastern Queensland

Published: October 2022

Button-quail Turnix spp. forage in a unique manner, leaving behind circular scratched depressions in the substrate known as platelets. These platelets offer an indirect method of surveying an otherwise cryptic and shy group of birds. Painted Button-quail T. varius are well known for creating platelets throughout most of their distribution. However, following 8 years of surveys from 1992 to 2000 in North Queensland, Nielsen (2000, p. 25) failed to locate any platelets and questioned whether Painted Button-quail in North Queensland may have “lost the art of forming platelets?”. During surveys in North Queensland between 2017 and 2022, we found extensive evidence at multiple locations of Painted Button-quail creating platelets that were consistent in size, shape, and placement with descriptions from elsewhere throughout the species’ distribution. A marked seasonal difference in occurrence and density of platelets was detected. Platelets were scarce from January to April, which coincides with the wet season, and increased in abundance throughout the dry season, with a peak at the end of the dry season (September–December). Platelets may represent a viable method for detecting Painted Button-quail in North Queensland, particularly during the dry season.

Published: October 2022

Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and applications have rapidly expanded worldwide due to their benefits in improving the business environment, industrial environment, and people's daily lives. However, the IoT devices are not immune to malicious network traffic, which causes potential negative consequences and sabotages IoT operating devices. Therefore, developing a method for screening network traffic is necessary to detect and classify malicious activity to mitigate its negative impacts. Therefore, this research proposes a predictive machine learning model to detect and classify network activity in an IoT system. Specifically, our model distinguishes between normal and anomaly network activity. Furthermore, it classifies network traffic into five categories, normal, Mirai attack, denial of service (DoS) attack, Scan attack, and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. Five supervised learning models were implemented to characterize their performance in detecting and classifying network activities for IoT systems. This includes models shallow neural networks (SNN), decision trees (DT), bagging trees (BT), support vector machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbor (kNN). The learning models were evaluated on a new and broad dataset for IoT attacks, the IoTID20 dataset. Besides, a deep feature engineering process was applied to the dataset to improve the accuracy of the learning models. Our experimental evaluation exhibited an accuracy of 100% recorded for the detection using all implemented models and an accuracy of 99.4%-99.9% recorded for the classification process.
How Do MRT Affect Housing Prices
Authors: Qingshan Qian
Published: October 2022

Real estate has the dual characteristics of consumption and investment. Under the inherent concept of "where there is land, there is wealth", real estate has become the investment target of the main asset. In addition to the supply and demand of the market will affect the price of real estate, many general economic factors will also have a certain impact on the price of real estate. This paper pays a special focus on the effects of MRT on housing prices, finding the closer a house is to an MRT station, the higher its price. In addition, convenience stores are very popularized, and this research report is also interested in whether the number of convenience stores within walking distance will affect the house price. In a word, these two factors do affect housing prices significantly.

TBL vs. PBL: Which is More Effective Model in Economics Learning?
Authors: Yunikawati Nur Anita , Tuanani Mella Artha Mevia
Published: October 2022

Economics subject discusses many economic problems in students’ circumstances, and it requires critical thinking ability. However, the ability of students to think critically linked to economics is still an insufficient category. Therefore, it needs to implement the learning model that affects the development of students’ critical thinking. This research aims to compare the effectiveness of team-based learning (TBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) models in economics learning as an attempt to enhance students’ critical thinking skills. This study adopted a quasi-experimental method using two experimental classes treated differently. The pre-test and post-test data obtained were used to estimate the research hypotheses through the ANCOVA test. The results of this study indicate differences in the improvement of critical thinking skills in TBL and PBL class students, with a significance level of 0.007 (<0.05). Students in the TBL class experienced increased critical thinking skills 10% superior to students in the PBL class. Therefore, TBL can be an alternative for teachers of economics or other relevant subjects to apply in teaching-learning activities by paying attention to the content rather than the material to be delivered. Further research regarding the TBL model with other 4Cs skills besides critical thinking is needed.

Published: October 2022

Background: The scorpion sting is a condition that requires management in emergency department. Anti-allergic, analgesic and anti-venom administrations are commonly used, particularly in pediatric patients. In this study, it was aimed to present data from patients who presented with scorpion sting and underwent various treatments. Material and method: We retrospectively reviewed 50 patients who presented to our hospital with scorpion sting. Demographic characteristics, severity of clinical presentation, treatments employed and anti-venom administration were evaluated. In patients underwent anti-venom treatment, we evaluated whether or not anti-venom caused systemic signs or additional pathology. Results: Mean age was 9.88 ± 4.58 years in the study population. There were 18 girls (36%) and 32 boys (64%). It was found that electrocardiogram was performed in all patients and that there was sinus tachycardia in 6 patients (12%). No systemic sign was detected during followup. It was found that anti-venom treatment was used in only 7 patients (14%). No significant difference was detected between anti-venom treatment and other therapeutic modalities used in ED. Conclusion: Scorpion sting is one of the leading causes of insect bites presenting to pediatric emergency departments in Turkey. It was observed that, even in tertiary care settings, antivenom treatment is used in scorpion sting without systemic signs. Based on this study, no anti-venom indication was present in this patient group. Thus, anti-venom decision should be assessed by relevant unit or pediatric emergency clinicians in cases requiring anti-venom treatment. Unnecessary anti-venom use should be avoided by training clinicians in primary care.
Decoding the Impact of Injection-Induced Fractures on the Sweep Efficiency of a Mature Polymer Flood through Pressure Falloff Analysis
Authors: Shankar Vivek , Sharma Gaurav
Published: October 2022

Polymer flooding is one of the most popular chemical enhanced oil recovery processes in the world, with many large-scale commercial field implementations. It improves mobility ratio and sweep efficiency over waterflooding. However, injection of high volumes of viscous fluid at high injection pressures almost inevitably induces fractures. Induced fractures are not necessarily negative for the flood, and they are documented to improve injectivity and reduce shear degradation of polymer. The big question is on their effect on areal and vertical sweep efficiency.

Mangala is one of the largest and most commercially successful polymer floods in the world. The FM-1 unit has the highest stock tank oil initially in place among all the layers of Mangala. Polymer flood sweep efficiency in FM-1 is excellent despite the presence of injection-induced fractures and geological layering.

Pressure falloff (PFO) studies are an important and inexpensive source of monitoring the growth of induced fractures in mature polymer floods. Extensive work has been done in the past to derive analytical solutions and numerically assisted solutions for polymer PFOs for non-Newtonian rheology and induced fractures with variable storage. There is also extensive and sometimes contradictory literature on polymer rheology in porous media at both high and low flux rates. Most of the work on polymer PFOs have published a few field examples or synthetic examples and addressed specific issues in depth.

We have interpreted 40 PFOs carried out over a period of 1 year. All relevant data sources in the field on geomechanics, polymer rheology in core and rheometers, temperature logs, and saturation logs were integrated to get a consistent estimate for fracture half-length. The results provide insight into the role of induced fractures in improving the sweep efficiency of FM-1. The arguments are backed with literature survey.

The work can be used by operators around the world to manage mature polymer floods. The observations mentioned in the work can be used by researchers to fine tune their work. Secondary hypothesis on polymer rheology in porous media is also derived out of the work, which may be of academic interest and merit further work. There are other important aspects of polymer flood PFOs, such as impact of suspended solids and rock dilation near wellbore, which have not been explored in the paper.

Background.
Up to 35% of older adults present to the emergency department (ED) with delirium or develop the condition during their ED stay. Delirium associated with an ED visit is independently linked to poorer outcomes such as loss of independence, increased length of hospital stay, and mortality. Improving the quality of delirium care for older ED patients is hindered by a lack of knowledge and standards to guide best practice. High-quality clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have the power to translate the complexity of scientific evidence into recommendations to improve and standardize practice. This study will identify and synthesize recommendations from high-quality delirium CPGs relevant to the care of older ED patients.
Methods.
We will conduct a multi-phase umbrella review to retrieve relevant CPGs. Quality of the CPGs and their recommendations will be critically appraised using the Appraisal of Guidelines, Research, and Evaluation (AGREE)-II; and Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation – Recommendations EXcellence (AGREE-REX) instruments, respectively. We will also synthesize and conduct a narrative analysis of high-quality CPG recommendations.
Discussion.
This review will be the first known evidence synthesis of delirium CPGs including a critical appraisal and synthesis of recommendations. Recommendations will be categorized according to target population and setting as a means to define the breadth of knowledge in this area. Future research will use consensus building methods to identify which recommendations are most relevant to older ED patients.

Communicating Effectively with Limited English Proficiency Patients: Incorporating Training on Working with Medical Interpreters in the Undergraduate Medical Curriculum
Authors: Wrench Algevis , Fine Lauren , Griffin Daniel P
Published: October 2022

Background: As the number of patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) grows in the United States, medical trainees must be competent to provide care to LEP patients with the use of professional medical interpreters (MIs). Since little time in undergraduate medical education (UME) is devoted to this competency, we developed an educational workshop on effective communication with professional MIs and Spanish-speaking LEP patients.
Methods:In the winter semester of 2022, a two-hour required workshop was implemented with first-year medical students at Nova Southeastern University Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine. This featured four educational strategies: 1) Facilitator-led instructional simulation activity, 2) Interactive didactic via PowerPoint, 3) Small group clinical case discussion, and 4) Large group MI simulation activity. Participant volunteers completed an anonymous, pre - and post-workshop evaluation and a self-assessment to determine post-intervention readiness to interact with MIs.
Results:Of the 51 participants, 43 (84%) completed the pre- and post-workshop evaluations. Approximately 83% reported “little to no” or “limited” Spanish language fluency. Participants reported a statistically significant (p<0.05) increase in their confidence to explain the importance of using MIs to improve LEP patient care, and to demonstrate both respect for the individual and cultural humility when using MIs. The self-assessment showed an increase in the average score for all questions tested. Ninety-eight percent of the participants strongly agreed or agreed that the workshop met its objectives. Thematic analysis of qualitative feedback centered around three major themes: MI need, MI practice, and medical Spanish knowledge.
Conclusions:Our curricular intervention was successful in increasing self-reported measures of skills and best practices on how to communicate effectively with Spanish-speaking LEP patients with the use of MIs. Implementation of MI training programs in UME can be a successful strategy to prepare trainees to provide care for the growing LEP population.
How does green finance affect cleaner industrial production and end-of-pipe treatment performance? Evidence from China
Authors: Fang Yong , Shao Zhenquan
Published: October 2022

Effectively identifying the role and mechanism of green finance in environmental governance provides an important guarantee that green finance serves the ecological environment. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2001 to 2015, this paper explores the impact of green finance on cleaner industrial production and end-of-pipe treatment and further reveals the mediating effect of industrial structure optimization and the moderating effect of environmental regulation. The results show that (1) China's cleaner industrial production performance, end-of-pipe treatment performance and systematic governance performance show a clear upwards trend, and the end-of-pipe treatment performance was generally better than the cleaner production performance. (2) Green finance promotes cleaner production performance but inhibits end-of-pipe treatment performance. The optimization of industrial structure plays a partial intermediary role in the impact of green finance on cleaner production and end-of-pipe treatment. (3) Both "market-incentive" and "command-and-control" environmental regulations weaken the positive impact of green finance on cleaner production; "market-incentive" environmental regulation alleviates the negative impact of green finance on end-of-pipe treatment, while the moderating effect of "command-and-control" environmental regulation on end-of-pipe treatment is not significant.

Several species of the freshwater planarian genus Girardia have been introduced into freshwater ecosystems all over the world, but little is known about the actual number of species involved and about possible detrimental effects on autochthonous ecosystems. In the present study, we used molecular phylogenetics and niche modelling under present and future climatic scenarios to examine the human-induced dispersal and spread of alien species of Girardia from their original areas of distribution in the Americas to other parts of the globe. Our results corroborate that the Girardia populations spreading worldwide belong to three species of North American origin: G. dorotocephala, G. sinensis, and G. tigrina. Our study emphasizes that G. sinensis is native to North America, from where it colonised China, as well as Europe, Africa and Australia. It also shows that G. dorotocephala has a broader range of localities where it was introduced than previously known, including Europe and Brazil. Niche modelling revealed that the three colonising species have a broad range of potential distribution in extensive regions of the Northern Hemisphere; regardless of the climatic scenario, in the future, their distributional range will increase towards northern Europe, without diminishing the high suitability of regions in the south. Their environmental requirements, being generalists with high suitability for human-modified habitats, explain their successful colonization. In the Iberian Peninsula, introduced G. tigrina and G. sinensis have extensive areas of high suitability, overlapping with the more limited suitable areas of autochthonous freshwater planarians, pointing to potential detrimental effects of Girardia invaders.

It is ideal to ingest bioactive substances from daily foods to stay healthy. Rice is the staple food for almost half of the human population. We found that an orally administered enzymatic digest of rice endosperm protein exhibits antidepressant-like effects in the tail suspension test (TST) using mice. We performed a comprehensive peptide analysis of the digest using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and the tridecapeptide QQFLPEGQSQSQK emerged as a candidate of the antidepressant-like peptide. Oral administration of the chemosynthetic peptide exhibited antidepressant-like effects at a low dose comparable to known drugs in the TST. This also exhibited anti-depressant-like effect in the forced swim test. We named it rice endosperm-derived antidepressant-like peptide (REAP). Intriguingly, intraperitoneal administration had no effect. Orally administered REAP(8–13) but not REAP(1–7) exhibited antidepressant-like activity, suggesting that the C-terminal structure is important for the antidepressant-like effect. We confirmed the presence of REAP, corresponding to rice glutelin type B4(130–142) and B5(130–142), in the digest. The effects of REAP were blocked by either intraperitoneal or intracerebroventricular administration of a dopamine D1 antagonist; however, REAP had no affinity for the receptor. These results suggest that it exerts its antidepressant-like activity through promotion of endogenous dopamine release and activation of central D1 receptors. REAP-induced antidepressant-like effect was at least in part blocked by vagotomy, implying the gut-brain communication is associated with REAP’s effect. Taken together, oral administration of a novel tridecapeptide exhibited antidepressant-like effects via the dopamine D1 system. This is the first report of a rice-derived peptide that exhibits antidepressant-like effects.
