Authors: Shehzad Muhammad Waleed , Hussain Ishtiaq , Akhtar Amer , Fatima Saadia
Published: January 2022

Abstract

The intended aim of this research was to identify the connection of Self-Efficacy Sources (SES) and Metacognitive Reading Strategies (MCRS) with Reading Comprehension (RC) by deploying reading Self-Efficacy Beliefs (SEB) as a mediating construct. A correlational design was utilized. Proportionate stratified random sampling was deployed to select a sample of 383 Saudi EFL university learners. Questionnaires and a reading comprehension test were employed to gather the data. Structural equation modelling was used to test the relationships. Results indicated that SES were substantially associated with SEB except physiological state. Moreover, all the three MCRS showed significant and positive association with SEB. Also, SEB were substantially associated with RC. Regarding mediation, it was discovered that SEB mediated the relationship among SES and RC except one source, i.e., physiological state. Moreover, SEB mediated the association between all the three MCRS and RC. This study provides several implications for learners, teachers, and policymakers.

Authors: Volpi Iride , Guidotti Diego , Mammini Michele , Marchi Susanna
Published: January 2022

Downy mildew, powdery mildew, and gray mold are major diseases of grapevine with a strong negative impact on fruit yield and fruit quality. These diseases are controlled by the application of chemicals, which may cause undesirable effects on the environment and on human health. Thus, monitoring and forecasting crop disease is essential to support integrated pest management (IPM) measures. In this study, two tree-based machine learning (ML) algorithms, random forest and C5.0, were compared to test their capability to predict the appearance of symptoms of grapevine diseases, considering meteorological conditions, spatial indices, the number of crop protection treatments and the frequency of monitoring days in which symptoms were recorded in the previous year. Data collected in Tuscany region (Italy), on the presence of symptoms on grapevine, from 2006 to 2017 were divided with an 80/20 proportion in training and test set, data collected in 2018 and 2019 were tested as independent years for downy mildew and powdery mildew. The frequency of symptoms in the previous year and the cumulative precipitation from April to seven days before the monitoring day were the most important variables among those considered in the analysis for predicting the occurrence of disease symptoms. The best performance in predicting the presence of symptoms of the three diseases was obtained with the algorithm C5.0 by applying (i) a technique to deal with imbalanced dataset (i.e., symptoms were detected in the minority of observations) and (ii) an optimized cut-off for predictions. The balanced accuracy achieved in the test set was 0.8 for downy mildew, 0.7 for powdery mildew and 0.9 for gray mold. The application of the models for downy mildew and powdery mildew in the two independent years (2018 and 2019) achieved a lower balanced accuracy, around 0.7 for both the diseases. Machine learning models were able to select the best predictors and to unravel the complex relationships among geographic indices, bioclimatic indices, protection treatments and the frequency of symptoms in the previous year.

Authors: Farrokhi Habibioallah , Asgharzadeh Ahmad , Kazemi Samadi Malihe
Published: January 2022

Saffron is highly valued for its unique aroma, taste, color, and medicinal properties. Iran is one of the most important saffron-producing countries. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of climatic and environmental characteristics of six sites (Shirvan, Faruj, Zavareh, Torbat-e Heydarieh, Ghayen, and Birjand) on the yield and qualitative, and biochemical characteristics of saffron. The studied sites were considered as treatments. The obtained data were analyzed based on a nested design, where the village within the site was considered an experimental error, and the farm within the village within each site was considered a sampling error. The Torbat-e Heydarieh treatment with altitudes of ~1323.3 m produced the maximum saffron flower yield (0.83 g m2), stigma yield (0.098 g m2), safranal content (15.8%), picrocrocin content (30.6%), and crocins content (69.3%). Evidently that the low maximum summer temperature in the area is one of the reasons for its superiority. The correlation analysis between traits shows that the maximum summer temperature had a significant negative correlation with saffron flower yield, stigma yield, and picrocrocin and crocin content. Results showed the highest total flavonoid and phenol content and DPPH activity related to Shirvan and Faruj. Although the results showed that selenium could increase the quantitative and qualitative yield of saffron, this requires further studies to confirm it. Based on the findings, it is concluded that I) qualitative and quantitative characteristics of saffron are strongly controlled by the environmental and climatic conditions and II) Razavi Khorasan province had a significant advantage in terms of flower and stigma yield and safranal, picrocrocin and crocin content of saffron and North Khorasan province in terms of biochemical characteristics.

Estilos de aprendizaje interculturales (sensibilidad intercultural) y modalidades en la carta argumentativa en estudiantes bilingües de licenciatura en lenguas modernas de una universidad colombiana y una francesa
Authors: Loaiza Villalba Neira , Ortiz Ruiz Claudia Elizabeth
Published: January 2022

En el campo de las diferencias individuales y de la formación bilingüe, en particular de futuros profesores de lenguas   extranjeras, los estilos de aprendizaje que los estudiantes despliegan en los procesos de aprendizaje de una segunda lengua son influenciados por la cultura propia en interacción con la cultura asociada a la lengua extranjera, configurando rasgos afectivos, psicológicos y cognitivos que, si bien son individuales, responden también a características culturales ligadas a su comunidad de origen. Son los estilos de aprendizaje interculturales (Leiva, 2015; Jiménez, 2004), concepto que reconoce aspectos socioculturales de los estilos de aprendizaje (Keefe, 1988), que en esta investigación, se centran en la sensibilidad intercultural como dimensión de la interculturalidad, asumida como habilidades sociales que el individuo podría desarrollar en contextos de contacto de lenguas y culturas (Chen y Starosta, 2000). En este sentido, la habilidad argumentativa escrita, tipología textual que predomina en la educación superior, es influenciada   por los estilos de aprendizaje asociados a la sensibilidad intercultural, lo cual se refleja en las modalidades del discurso argumentativo (Gosselin, 2010). Es así como, desde las teorías del bilingüismo escolar y las ciencias del lenguaje, este estudio de caso cualitativo describe cómo los estilos de aprendizaje, ligados a la sensibilidad intercultural, se reflejan en la competencia argumentativa escrita bilingüe en términos de las modalidades discursivas en una carta argumentativa en L1 y L2 en estudiantes bilingües de licenciatura en lenguas modernas (francés y español LE) de dos universidades, una colombiana y una francesa. En general, los resultados muestran un perfil de estilo de aprendizaje en donde hay  una presencia significativa del estilo reflexivo y del estilo verbal y un equilibrio entre lo sensorial y lo intuitivo, y entre lo secuencial y lo global. En cuanto a la sensibilidad intercultural, se evidencia una actitud favorable y neutra alta que facilita la interacción intercultural. A partir del análisis de retórica contrastiva intra e interindividual, se encuentra que las modalidades sobresalientes son la epistémica, la alética y la deóntica que validan las representaciones desde lo objetivo, lo subjetivo y/o lo institucional.

En el presente artículo se analiza la generación de aceite vegetal usado (AVU) en restaurantes y cafeterías de 30 barrios de la comuna 4 de Villavicencio Meta, y se plantean alternativas para el manejo adecuado y   disposición final del residuo, mediante una investigación de tipo exploratoria-descriptiva, que permite identificar zonas de mayor generación del residuo, formas de conducta frente a la problemática estudiada, cantidad y frecuencia de generación y los hábitos de gestión del residuo, información que fue recolectada con la aplicación de una encuesta semiestructurada compuesta por 18 preguntas.

Los resultados indicaron que existe gran desconocimiento de las alternativas de gestión del residuo, adicional a esto, más del 40% de las unidades encuestadas son conscientes de los impactos ambientales causados al verter aceites a las fuentes hídricas o los daños a la salud que genera reutilizar esta sustancia, por otro lado teniendo en cuenta la visita a la corporación autónoma regional del Meta, y la recolección de información de fuentes secundarias y primarias, se pudo afirmar que existe un conjunto de regulaciones a nivel nacional e internacional que hablan de la importancia del desarrollo sostenible de manera imprecisa o vaga frente a lo que el aceite usado de cocina respecta, pero hace falta en el ámbito local la aplicación del principio para el adecuado manejo del aceite vegetal usado en Colombia, no hay normativa que busque el adecuado manejo del aceite vegetal usado y su potencial concreto como materia prima de otros productos, las alternativas actuales están basadas en las practicas informales de recolectores, no existe una estrategia municipal organizada que este enfocada en la gestión de este residuo peligroso.
KÜLÖNBÖZŐ ÉTRENDEK, DIÉTÁK HATÁSA A SPORTTELJESÍTMÉNYRE
Authors: Sarang Zsolt , Gyenes Dominik
Published: January 2022

Az emberi test üzemanyaga a táplálék, pontosabban az abban található tápanyagok, ezért még a nem sportolóknak is kiemelt figyelmet kell fordítani arra, mi az, amit megesznek. A sportolóknak ennél is fontosabb, hogy kialakítsák a teljesítményt optimalizáló táplálkozási szokásokat. A teljesítményoptimalizálásnak a sporttáplálkozás az egyik legnagyobb, az utóbbi időben egyre jobban előtérbe kerülő lehetősége. Számos speciális étrend létezik, ezek közül talán a legismertebbek: ketogén diéta, mediterrán étrend, vegetarianizmus, paleo diéta. Étrendünket úgy kell megválasztanunk, hogy közben az egészségmegőrzés is fontos szempont maradjon. Nem szabad megfeledkeznünk arról, hogy egészen más tápanyagszükséglete lehet például egy hosszútávfutónak egy súlyemelővel szemben. Nincs azonban két egyforma ember, eltérő az egyének genetikai adottsága, testsúlya, testösszetétele, mozgásintenzitása, az anyagcseréje és a cél amit el szeretnének érni, éppen ezért az egyes sportágakon belül az egyénre szabott étrend-összeállítás eredményezi a legjobb teljesítményt. Tanulmányunkban célul tűztük ki az említett szempontok alapján a különböző összetételű étrendek, diéták hatásának elemzését a sportteljesítményre. Munkák során a Google és Pubmed oldalakon gyűjtöttünk, tekintettünk át releváns tartalmakat. Összességében azt mondhatjuk, hogy a helyes táplálkozás kialakítása sokszorosan megtérülő befektetés lehet. A sport, mint fizikai aktivitás meghatározza az életmódot, beleértve a táplálkozást is. A helyes, kiegyensúlyozott táplálékbevitel mind a sportolók, mind a nem sportolók számára elengedhetetlen.
Real-World Assessment of Weight Change in African American Females and Hispanics with HIV-1 After Initiating Integrase Strand-Transfer Inhibitors or Protease Inhibitors
Authors: Chen Yen-Wen , Anderson David , Pericone Christopher D. , Donga Prina
Published: January 2022

Background: Studies have shown an increase in weight among people living with HIV (PLWH) who initiated integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI). However, weight gain with INSTI-based regimens vs other regimens in females or racial/ethnic minorities is poorly understood.

Objective: This study assessed differences in weight gain among treatment-naïve, female, African Americans and Hispanics after initiating INSTI-based vs protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimens.

Methods: This retrospective, observational cohort study included data from the Optum® deidentified Electronic Health Record Database. Female African Americans or Hispanics initiating INSTI- or PI-based regimens between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2018 (first prescription was index date), with ≥12-month baseline and follow-up periods, ≥1 weight measure during each period, and no prior antiretroviral (ARV) use were included. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to reduce selection bias and improve cohort comparability. Multivariable models were used to compare absolute weight/body mass index (BMI) changes and proportion of patients with weight/BMI increases from pre- to post-index (last measure between the 4th and 12th months post-index).

Results: Weighted cohorts included 3407 African American females (INSTI, 1704; PI, 1703) and 3711 Hispanics (INSTI, 1865; PI, 1846) PLWH. Mean time to follow-up weight measure was ~9.5 months. Among female African Americans, INSTI initiators had a 1.5 kg greater mean weight gain (2.1 kg vs 0.6 kg; P = 0.033), and a higher proportion with ≥5% weight gain (32% vs 29%; odds ratio [OR]=1.2; 95% CI [1.0-1.4]) than PI initiators. Among Hispanics, INSTI and PI initiators had similar mean increases in weight (2.1 and 1.8 kg, respectively), but INSTI initiators had a higher proportion with ≥5% weight gain (31% vs 27%; OR=1.2; 95% CI [1.1-1.4]). Female African American INSTI initiators were more likely to shift from normal or overweight to a worse BMI classification. Hispanic INSTI initiators were less likely to shift from normal BMI to overweight but more likely to shift from normal or overweight to obese.

Conclusion: In a real-world setting, INSTI-based regimens were associated with greater weight gain for treatment-naïve female African Americans, compared with PI-based regimens. Differences between regimens were less consistent for Hispanics. These results may inform ARV choice for PLWH who are at risk for ARV-related weight gain.
Design of a Food Recommendation System using ADNet algorithm on a Hybrid Data Mining Process
Authors: Wang Haoxiang
Published: January 2022

Hybrid data mining processes are employed in recent days on several applications to achieve a better prediction and classification rate along with customer satisfaction. Hybrid data mining processes are the combination of different form of data considered for a neural network decision. In some cases, the different form of data represents image along with numerical data. In the proposed work, a food recommendation system is developed with respect to the flavour taste of the customer and considering the review comments of previous customers. The suggestions given by the users are taken into account as a feedback layer in the neural network for fine tuning the accuracy of the prediction process. The architectural design of the proposed model is employed with an ADNet (Adaptively Dense Convolutional Neural Network) algorithm to enable the usage of low range features in an efficient way. To verify the performance of the developed model, a pizza flavour recommender dataset is employed in the work for analysis. The experimental work analysis indicates that the ADNet algorithm works in a better way on a hybrid data analysis than the traditional DenseNet and ResNet algorithms.
E-Government 4.0: Managing APIs as Facilitators for Digital Transformation
Authors: Trček Denis
Published: January 2022

Digital transformation is, among others, notably driven by servitization, and consequently, IT artifacts called Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), together with disruptive technologies and innovations. In order to set up proper policies, the understanding of the above factors is essential, including their influences on value adding chains. This paper therefore provides an analysis of APIs developments together with their impacts on digital transformation. As they can affect organizations and even national economies at strategic level, appropriate management from a systemic perspective is justified, including e-Government initiatives. Further, APIs cannot be treated without their relations to disruptive technologies, innovations and value chains. Therefore, the advancements of theoretical understanding of evolution of value chains, and practical directions for e-government initiatives are given in this paper. In addition, an archetype model is developed that provides a basis for further research efforts in the area.

Education serves the purpose of cultivating the capacity to shape character and civilisation in a dignified manner to advance the nation's intellectual life. Social studies education is an affective domain subject because it teaches students to see knowledge in social interactions and to apply it directly in the community environment. This study compares students' social skills acquired through moral reasoning-based cooperative learning to those acquired through simulation-based cooperative learning in order to determine the effectiveness of simulation-based and moral reasoning-based cooperative learning in improving students' social skills, as well as the interaction between the two. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a comparative approach. The study was conducted in classes VIII A and VIII B, with 27 students and 26 students, respectively, at SMP N 27 Pesawaran, Lampung Province, Indonesia. The findings of this study indicate a significant difference in social skills between students taught using the Moral Reasoning cooperative learning model and students taught using the Simulation cooperative learning model in social studies subjects. Learning that employs the Moral Reasoning learning model is more effective than learning that employs the Simulation one.

The purpose of this study is examining the impact of meaningful learning model on students’ reading comprehension. This study uses true experimental research with pretest-posttest control group design. The class is divided into two classes; experimental class who receives treatments by using meaningful learning model and control class who receives treatments by using conventional teaching model. The total of sample is 110 students who are selected from eight grade students of junior high schools either state or private schools in Central Java Province. To obtain valid data, this study uses tests given at the pre-test and post-test in both classes. After the data is obtained, the data is analyzed by using the SPSS t-test formula. Based on the results of the calculations in the pretest and posttest, it was known that both classes are homogeneous and normally distributed from the calculation of the Levene’s test method and Saphiro-Wilk. In the pretest, t-count (0.452) is lower than t-table (1.982), whereas in the posttest, t-count (2.361) is higher than t-table (1.982). This indicates that meaningful learning model has an influence on student grades in reading comprehension rather than using conventional teaching model.

Published: January 2022

Abstract:

Introduction/Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected medical training worldwide. Many teaching and learning activities were replaced with online learning. The use of flipped classroom and game-based learning in teaching have been in trend recently.

Aim & Objectives: The objective of this report is to describe the experience of using flipped classroom in combination with game-based learning and to study the students’ feedback on their use.

Methods/Study Design: Flipped classroom combined with scenario-based Kahoot! quiz during the synchronised online teaching of medical ethics was tested on second year medical students.

Results/Findings: Based on their objective scoring and subjective feedback, almost all students agreed that the combination of flipped classroom and scenario-based Kahoot! quiz helped them understand the topics and achieve the learning outcomes. However, almost half of them were unsure whether they preferred the new methods over the traditional face-to-face lecture. Among the main problem for online learning was poor internet connection which interrupted their concentration and participation in class.

Discussion & Conclusion: As a conclusion, medical students were still sceptical whether flipped classroom and game-based learning were their preferred methods over the traditional face-to-face lecture. However, these combined methods were feasible to do during the pandemic and received good feedback from students. The main concern is the internet connection that may interrupt the running of the class.

Authors: Gonga Vica Natalia
Published: January 2022

Acute respiratory infection (ARI) is a respiratory infection that affect both upper or lower respiratory tracts.  The virus or bacteria causes ARI which lasts for 14 days. Indonesia had the highest mortality rate for ARI, in 2008 around 36.4% children infected; in 2009 around 32.1%; in 2010 around 18.2%; and in 2011 around 38.8%. The prevalence of ARI in Siwalima Health Center around 3240 children in 2020. Breastfeeding has huge benefit for both moms and babies. The prevalence of breastfeeding in Indonesia is 66.1%, but there are two provinces, West Papua (34%) and Maluku (37.2%) that have not reach the target yet. The purpose of this study is to find out if there is a correlation between Exclusive breastfeeding with history of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) in children in November 2021 in Siwalima Village, Aru Island, Maluku. This study uses observational analytical research methods, and cross- sectional design. The subject of this study are children age 0 - 24 months and lived in Siwalima Village. The sample of this study is using total sampling technic and there are 186 respondents. Questioners with yes or no answer are using in this study.

The Financial Crisis in the 2000s: Further Effects Regarding Lending, Regulation and Efficiency
Authors: FRANK Benedikt
Published: January 2022

The global financial crisis starting in 2007 was a central element of the new millennium and had a major impact on the global economy. This paper deals with the underlying causes and fundamental conditions as well as research and insights on the financial crisis in the area of liabilities and future lending, effects of regulations and bank resilience, as well as the changes in the banking industry in relation to the determinants of profitability. With three hypotheses developed on the basis of existing literature, that is critically evaluated and appraised, the paper aims to explore the global economic crisis from perspectives
and origins beyond the often analysed triggers. The focus is on the pivotal point of the economic crisis: the banks and their international interconnectedness regarding lending, durability, and efficiency. Among other things, the findings revealed that the effect of the external funding shock on banks' domestic lending is significant, strong regulation, characterized as one-size-fits-all international best practice, is not always the blueprint for bank resilience and that efficiency has been a determining factor in bank profitability. Furthermore, no paradigm shift took place after the global economic crisis, and banks still seem to have to be rescued by the state in the event of bankruptcy due to their size.
Threshold Effects of Import Dependence on Economic Growth in Nigeria
Authors: AIGHEYISI Oziengbe Scott
Published: January 2022

This study uses annual time series data spanning 1981–2018 to investigate the threshold effects of import dependence on economic growth in Nigeria. The ordinary least squares (OLS) and the fully modified OLS (FMOLS) techniques are employed for estimation of a quadratic regression model to determine the nature of the relationship between
aggregate import dependence and economic growth. It is found that the relationship is concave, that is, it follows an inverted-U shape. The conditional least squares estimator is thereafter employed to estimate the threshold model specified to determine the threshold level of import dependence. The study finds a threshold level of 26% for aggregate import dependence. Below this threshold, import dependence positively
affects economic growth; above the threshold, the growth effect of import dependence is adverse. Furthermore, it is found that the long-run growth effect of Inflation is adverse, and investment is favourable to long-run economic growth. Based on these findings, the paper recommends efforts by Nigeria’s government to reduce import dependence below the estimated threshold of 26%, control inflation and encourage investment so as to enhance the growth of the nation’s economy.

Strach z kriminality a pocity bezpečí jsou témata, kterým se kriminologický a geografický výzkum v posledních několika letech věnuje stále častěji. Cílem článku je popsat způsob sledování zpravodajství a strach z kriminality. Dotazník v papírové či online formě vyplnilo 2065 respondentů. Výsledky ukazují, že respondenti četli většinu článků týkajících se této oblasti v České republice, ať již v papírové formě či na internetu. Zároveň prokázali porozumění tomu, jak si média vybírají zprávy, ale přesto věřili, že média nabízí dostatek objektivních informací. Následně tedy nepociťovali strach či obavy z kriminality a neměnili své chování. Tyto výsledky vedou k zamyšlení nad protektivními faktory v oblasti strachu z kriminality.
