Published: March 2023

As a student teacher candidate, the ability to communicate is a vital competency to be mastered. One of the best ways to share is how students and teacher candidates use technology. Advances in information and communication technology make digital literacy ability as significant as other abilities that exist in every individual human being. This study attempted to establish a link between self-concept and emotional intelligence and digital literacy abilities. This study uses the correlation method, with data collection carried out through a survey with an instrument in the form of a questionnaire for elementary school teacher education students at universities in West Java using the proportional random sampling technique. The results of this study indicate the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination, namely for self-concept with literacy ability, the correlation coefficient value is 0.563. This means a positive and significant relationship exists between self-concept and digital literacy ability, while emotional intelligence with digital literacy ability has a correlation coefficient of 0.651. This means a positive and meaningful relationship exists between emotional intelligence and digital literacy ability. The coefficient of determination of 0.433 means that the magnitude of the relationship between self-concept, emotional intelligence, and digital literacy ability is 43.3%. And the calculated F value is 103.730 from the Ftable value of 3.04. This research suggests that student-teacher candidates can develop self-concept and must be able to control emotional intelligence to improve digital literacy as a support in the learning process and to improve academic achievement

Published: March 2023

The magnetic properties of the amorphous Co57Fe5Ni10Si11B17 alloy have been studied by a vibrating sample magnetometer. The temperature dependence of saturation magnetization was measured and the Curie point and crystallization onset temperature were determined as 560 K and 760 K respectively. The coercive force was obtained as 200 A/m and saturation magnetization - 65 Am2 /kg. The alloy was produced in the form of a ribbon thickness of 30 µm using the melt spinning method, and its internal amorphous structure was examined by the X-ray diffraction method. The crystallization behavior of the alloy was studied using series of isothermal annealing of the samples of the alloy at temperatures in the range of 723-1023 K for different exposures (up to 240 minutes) and nanocrystalline phases were detected by the X-ray diffraction analysis.

Authors: Mironyuk Ivan , Vasylyeva Hanna , Prokipchuk Iryna , Mykytyn Igor
Published: March 2023

The adsorption of Sr(II) cations by Boron-doped TiO2 was investigated.  The adsorbent samples were obtained by liquid-phase sol-gel method using the aqua complex precursor [Ті(ОН2)6]3+‧3Cl- and modifying reagent hydrogen borate Н3ВО3. It was found, that single-phase rutile titanium dioxide or two-phase anatase-rutile oxide materials were formed under the different initial ratios of components. Boron atoms are combined with Oxygen atoms into triangular structural cell ВО3 in the rutile sample 0.5В-ТіО2 and are localized in the surface layer of the nanoparticle material as a grouping =О2ВОН. The introduction of Boron atoms into the structure of the rutile adsorbent causes an increase in its adsorption capacity for the binding of Sr(II) cations in the aqueous electrolyte. The maximal adsorption values for Sr(II) cations by the rutile adsorbent in a neutral electrolyte environment reach 102.3 mg‧g-1, while it is equal to 68.8 mg‧g-1 for the unmodified anatase adsorbent a-TiO2.

The number of acid adsorption centers ≡ТіОНδ+ on the surface of the rutile adsorbent 0.5В-ТіО2 is ~ 50 units on a surface area of 10 nm2, which is twice the number of centers on the surface of the anatase adsorbent a- ТіО2. Anatase-rutile adsorbents 1.0В-ТіО2 and 1.5В-ТіО2 contain, respectively, 70% and 57% of the anatase phase. They are significantly inferior in adsorption ability toward cations of Sr(II) compared with the rutile adsorbent 0.5В-ТіО2. This is because Boron atoms are mainly localized in the anatase phase and with oxygen atoms form tetrahedral groups of ВО4-.

Authors: Malyk Orest
Published: March 2023

In the presented article the method of determining the energy spectrum, the wave function of the charge carrier and the crystal potential in CdTe at an arbitrarily given temperature is considered. Using this approach within the framework of the supercell method the temperature dependences of the ionization energies of various types of defects caused by the introduction of chlorine and copper impurities in cadmium telluride are calculated. Also the offered method allows to define the temperature dependence   of the optical and acoustic deformation potentials and as well as the dependence on the temperature the charge carrier’s scattering parameters on ionized impurities, polar optical, piezooptic and piezoacoustic phonons. Within the framework of short-range scattering models the temperature dependences of the charge carrier’s mobility and Hall factor are considered.

Методом електродугового випаровування графiту марок ЕГСП та МПГ-7 в iнертному газi (Не) отримано вуглецевi наноструктури (ВНС) рiзних типiв (вуглецевi нанотрубки, фулерени та фулереноподiбнi структури). Проведено порiвняльний аналiз синтезованих характеристик ВНС. Визначено оптимальнi технологiчнi умови для синтезу ВНС з графiтових анодних електродiв нюваних марок (ЕГСП та МПГ-7). Дослiджено метод плазмохiмiчного синтезу. За допомогою скануючої та просвiчуючої електронної мiкроскопiї дослiджено структуру синтезованих вуглецевих матерiалiв i показано, що вуглецевi нанотрубки утворюються при випаровуваннi графiту марки ЕГСП навiть без використання каталiзатора. Проведено диференцiйно-термiчний, термогравiметричний та диференцiйно-термогравiметричний аналiзи, за результатами яких встановлено температури початку взаємодiї утвореної ВНС з киснем повiтря. За даними фотоспектрального аналiзу продуктiв синтезу проведено розрахунки i показано, що фулереновий компонент, отриманий випаровуванням графiту марки ЕГСП, мiстить 10–12% фулеренiв C60 i C70, що не поступається аналогiчним показникам графiту марки МПГ-7. Беручи до уваги дешевину графiту марки ЕГСП порiвняно з маркою графiту марки МПГ-7, можна стверджувати, що вуглецевi наноструктури, синтезованi з графiту марки ЕГСП, мають меншу вартiсть. Цей факт є важливим для синтезу вуглецевих наноструктур як наповнювача для сучасних композитiв. Крiм того, синтез значно дешевших фулеренiв i фулереноподiбних молекул є великою перевагою для їх вивчення та використання в сучасних матерiалах, адже сьогоднi починають створюватися новi передовi нанотехнологiї на основi фулеренiв.

Published: March 2023

Functional foods containing probiotic bacteria are consumed worldwide. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), probiotics are living microorganisms that contribute to the host’s overall health when provided in adequate amounts. Fermented dairy products, especially yogurt and other dairy-based products, are good substrates for probiotic delivery. However, recently, consumers have begun to seek alternatives due to lactose intolerance and high fat and cholesterol contents. Moreover, the growing vegetarianism has increased the demand for nondairy probiotic foods. Thus worldwide, researchers are studying probiotic bacteria feasibility in nondairy products, including fruits, vegetables, and cereals. This study aims to give an overview of various nondairy based products that contain probiotic bacterial strains available worldwide based on fruits, vegetables, cereals, chocolate-based products, and meat products. Moreover, the latest globally available commercial products are also summarized.

As advanced technologies become prevalent, they are being used more widely in numerous fields. The building sector is not an exception. One of these cutting-edge technologies is responsive facades, which are used in buildings and have an undeniable effect on daylighting. However, they have not been adequately evaluated for improving visual comfort in hospitals. This study investigates visual comfort in a standard patient room, based on applying four responsive facades. Simulations were conducted using HoneybeePlus, a plugin in the Grasshopper. Simulation-based results of annual indicators, including Annual Sunlight Exposure (ASE) and spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA), showed that different facades could result in several optimal modes. Furthermore, a more comprehensive investigation should consider factors such as Daylight Glare Probability (DGP) and Daylight Glare Index (DGI). Glare indicators revealed that facade directly affects patient visual comfort and can even have an adverse effect. When the optimal responsive facade is chosen, it enhances users' visual comfort throughout the year, yet there will be still glare probability in some cases. Based on the results, this probability decreases as patient distance increases, and Window to Wall Ratio (WWR) is not particularly effective in reducing glare. Nevertheless, when it comes to daylight availability, WWR cannot be ignored, and the first façade with WWR 60% showed the best overall performance.
Teachers’ opinions about elitism in gifted education
Authors: Radulović Branka
Published: March 2023

Although teachers’ attitudes towards gifted students and gifted education have been monitored more intensively since the 1990s, we still do not have a clear and definitive picture. Therefore, with the research reported on here we examined teachers’ opinions about the connection between gifted education and elitism and how they viewed the need for grouping gifted students. The sample consisted of 432 primary and secondary school teachers. The main results show teachers’ neutral opinions towards the grouping of gifted students and the correlation to elitism. Significant differences were obtained in the teachers’ opinions for demographic characteristics, i.e. the school type (primary or secondary) and the school location (urban or rural). The results are in line with the general idea that education should be accessible to everyone according to their abilities in order to overcome equating gifted education with the rich elite.
Bora's high vowels involve a two-way dental contrast, not a three-way backness contrast
Authors: Mielke Jeff , Parker Steve
Published: March 2023

The Bora language of Peru has six phonemic vowels, conventionally transcribed as /i ε a o ɨ ɯ/. This inventory is noteworthy since it appears to exhibit a three-way backness distinction among three high unrounded vowels. In this paper we present audiovisual data which confirms two significant facts: (1) /ɯ/ is high, back, and unrounded; and (2) the only vowel produced with lip rounding is /o/. However, the experiment further reveals that the Bora segment traditionally written /ɨ/ is actually not central but rather a possibly novel type of front vowel, articulated with substantial contact between the tongue and both the upper and lower teeth. We use the methodology of Iskarous (2010) to estimate vocal tract area functions for Bora vowels based on their observed formant frequencies and amplitudes. The results of this procedure support our claim that /ɨ/ is front and /ɯ/ is back. Several phonological alternations also motivate this characterization. The opening of the mouth and dental contact visible in the production of /ɨ/ are correlated with its acoustic measurements, albeit in a previously undocumented way. We conclude that Bora’s /ɨ/ should be reclassified as /i̪/ – front and dental.p { line-height: 115%; text-align: left; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin-bottom: 0.1in; direction: ltr; background: transparent }
Sustainable urbanism and urban form: articulations and perspectives
Authors: Alvarez Lucas Tasso , Soares Beatriz Ribeiro
Published: March 2023

Urban space has been a scene of numerous political, social, and technological transformations during the last two centuries. As a result of an intense process of population and territorial growth of cities, urban fabrics around the world are marked by socio-spatial conflicts, which puts them in a particular urban crisis. As an opposing view, the concept of sustainable urbanism arises, resignifying the paradigmatic urban problems. However, it is a concept of complex definition, both theoretical and, mainly, practical. With the problem based on the development of the praxis of sustainable urbanism, this article aims to discuss aspects of urban form that contribute to the applicability of sustainable urbanism. The paper uses an exploratory methodology as to its objectives and follows a bibliographical research model as to its design. Due to the association proposed, the results indicate the combination of the following morphological principles in the city as desirable elements for urban sustainability: multifunctionality, compactness, connectivity, diversity, access to nature, and definition. The combination of these principles leads to the self-sustainability of the urban space. The article has the potential to contribute to researchers and practitioners scientifically and to assist in the implementation of sustainable cities.

Published: March 2023

Agriculture based on practices aimed at preserving biodiversity and ecological practices in food production has become increasingly important and viable as an alternative to replacing conventional systems. Agroecological systems are more effective in terms of food and nutritional security demands, strengthening changes in traditional systems in the agricultural sector. Physical attributes can be directly influenced through handling and use, and should be studied. With this, the objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of the soil, through the físicos dosoil attributes in an area managed with an agroforestry system. A completely randomized experimental design was used, with 4 treatments and 4 replications, namely: T1 – area managed with an agroforestry system since 2014; T2 - area managed with an agroforestry system since 2018; T3 - native forest area on the banks of the Paraná River and T4 - fallow pasture area since 2017. The current condition of the native forest system was considered as a reference in terms of soil quality, as it represents the natural condition of land use. The following soil attributes were evaluated: aggregate stability, soil porosity and density, soil texture, degree of flocculation and clay dispersed in water. The results were analyzed using analysis of variance, simple correlation and Tukey's test at 5% probability to compare means. It is concluded that the agroforestry systems positively influenced the physical attributes of the soil, mainly in the pore size distribution, aggregation and soil flocculation.

Published: March 2023

This study aims to diagnose environmental management practices adopted by industries in the jeans production chain and present new and sustainable solutions to reduce environmental damage throughout the production processes. Through bibliographic research, documentaries, and semi-structured interviews, it was possible to diagnose several actions proposed by the present company to reduce environmental damage and contribute to achieving social justice.  Thus, the research is significant, as the textile sector has excellent potential for achieving the SDGs in Brazil, especially when considering the growth of the world market of jeans, tied to various environmental and social impacts throughout the production process. Initiatives taken by other companies in the sector were identified, indicating new possibilities that can be adapted to the reality of several organizations to use them as a reference in mitigating environmental impacts. Regarding the company analyzed, it was observed that there is a stance on pollution control, considering the various initiatives that seek to mitigate social and environmental issues. However, it is suggested that the company has many mechanisms and paths to evolve toward pollution prevention postures or even a strategic approach, which will ensure a better performance in the implementation of new sustainable practices.

Published: March 2023

The phenomenon of water scarcity has become a global problem, which among its main causes is the growth of the population that brings as a consequence an increasing demand for potable water, which is an admittedly limited resource. São Paulo, the greatest example of inequality in water distribution in Brazil with 22% of the population and only 1.6% of the country’s surface water, faced between 2014 and 2016 one of the biggest supply crises in its history, characterized mainly by the lack of rains. The work evaluated the current situation of reuse water use in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP) and interviews were carried out with specialists in the water resources sector, forming a representative tripod that involves the concessionaire of public water and sewage services, teaching institutions that study and research the topic and civil society entities responsible for managing the water resources that supply the city of São Paulo and 17 other municipalities in its surroundings. The study identified that much still needs to be done, necessarily counting on the active participation of the public power that has the largest structure to manage and encourage the practice of water reuse, that actions will be necessary to improve the legislation, so it is important that there is a permanent dialogue around the theme so that an alternative for water supply is available that meets the needs of society and collaborates with the sustainability of the planet.

Published: March 2023

Given the global water scarcity, the term "water footprint" emerged, which takes into account both its direct use by a producer or consumer and its indirect use. There was also a scarcity of research on this theme. The study aimed to identify the water footprint in the industrial production of crepe adhesive tape in a chemical company and analyze the environmental implications of this calculation for the production process of the segment. The methodology used in the study is classified as applied, quantitative, exploratory and explanatory. The study concludes that the water footprint of the supplies is superior to the water footprint of the production process, that is, the water footprint of the supply chain (0.34 liters/roll) is greater than the water footprint of the internal processes (0.07 liters/roll). Internally, the highest water consumption is due to industrial activities (boilers and other equipment), followed by human consumption, losses and evaporation. Although the water footprint of the process is not significant, it should not be ignored. It guides the reuse of evaporated water in the industrial process and whenever possible eliminate the use of water when developing new products.

A conjuntura político-social ascendida pela pandemia do novo coronavírus expôs a vulnerabilidade de grande parcela da população brasileira, bem como destacou a importância de políticas alternativas aos modelos tradicionais, sobretudo por meio da internacionalização de políticas públicas realizadas pelos entes subnacionais, prática reconhecida pela literatura especializada como paradiplomacia. Dada a relevância do tema, são necessários estudos que, a partir de análises de casos reais, permitam entender a importância da atividade paradiplomática nas políticas públicas atuais. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo descreve dois casos, a saber, a cooperação entre Guarulhos, Seine-Saint-Denis, Maputo e Matola (2011), no âmbito do Edital Franco-Brasileiro de Cooperação Descentralizada e Trilateral em Benefício ao Haiti e Países Africanos, e o caso da atuação do Governo do Estado de São Paulo na compra e na produção de vacinas por uma via internacional (2020-2022). Para tanto, este trabalho, em relação ao seu objetivo, se caracteriza como uma pesquisa exploratória, de cunho qualitativo e baseada em levantamento bibliográfico e análise documental. Os resultados permitem destacar impactos positivos da compra de vacinas realizada por meio da paradiplomacia no Estado de São Paulo, e dos esforços transnacionais para a melhoria da Gestão de Resíduos Sólidos nas cidades moçambicanas de Maputo e Matola.

Published: March 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the noise pollution on the Jardim Botânico campus of the Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), in the municipality of Curitiba-PR, during the Coronavirus pandemic (SARS-CoV-2). The evaluation included comparing the acoustic measurements and statistical analysis of the data measured in the field with measurements taken before the pandemic by Vieira (2018). Therefore, the study aimed to identify whether there was a significant impact on the acoustic conditions in the area studied due to the restrictive measures imposed to address the public health emergency. The methodological procedures were based on characterizing the study area, defining the sampling points, collecting data in the field, evaluating the noise pollution according to NBR 10.151/2020 standards and Curitiba Municipal Law 10.625/2002, and statistical analysis of the data. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to verify normality. The relationship between the noise levels before and during the pandemic was evaluated using analysis of variance and Tukey’s post hoc test, with a 0.05 significance level (α). The results and discussions address the values obtained and scored in the locations where the values exceeded the tolerance limit, denoting the possible causes and solutions for noise control according to the literature. We concluded that none of the points evaluated presented sound pressure levels within the limit recommended by NBR 10151/2020, indicating a noise pollution situation at the campus. The pandemic affected the minimum and average values, which were lower when compared to those recorded before the pandemic (p<0.05). At the same time, the maximum level (Lmax) values were similar to each other (p>0.05).
PROGNOSTİC VALUE OF Kİ67 İN BORDERLİNE MUCİNOUS OVARİAN TUMORS
Authors: ÖCAL İrfan , DEMİR Sinem
Published: March 2023

Objective

Ovarian borderline tumors (OBTs) are an intermediate

type of ovarian neoplasm. Ovarian mucinous borderline

tumors (MBT) are the second most common subtype

of OBT. Because of their uncertain pathogenesis

and biological behaviour they cannot be classified

clearly into benign and malign categories. There is a

need to identify a parameter that provides more prog-

nostic information about the clinical course and can be

evaluated easily in routine practice. Ki67 is a routinely

used immunohistochemical marker that is strongly associated

with cellular proliferation, including tumor cells.

We aimed in this study to evaluate the prognostic

significance and to determine prognostic cut-off value

of Ki67 counting in the MBTs and to investigate its relationship

with clinicopathologic features, recurrence,

and long term survival status and also to provide more

information to the literature.

Material and Method

A total of 20 cases diagnosed with ovarian mucinous

borderline tumors were identified. Immunohistochemical

studies were performed on the most representative

sample of the tumor. Positive signal was nuclear and it

was evaluated by two pathologists.

Results

Ki67 proliferating index (P.I) value with a median of

15%(1-47%) and a mean of 16% Ki67 P.I. reached

statistically significance at 20% cut-off value with

progression and at 30% cut-off value with 5-year OS.

(p=0.021 and p=0.032, respectively). Although the

Ki67 P.I. tended to increase with age, there was no

statistical association between Kİ67 P.I. and other clinicopathological

parameters including tumor size, laterality,

capsule integrity, intraepithelial carcinoma and

focal atypia.

Conclusion

In our study, recurrence was more frequent when Ki67

was greater than 20%, and 5-year survival was lower

when Ki67 was greater than 30%, suggesting that

the Ki67 index was associated with a more aggressive

course and death. Therefore, we predicted that

Ki 67 would be useful in determining the frequency of

follow-up of patients and predicting their prognosis.

However, we think that this result should be supported

by larger series.

Antiangiogenic research using AgNPs-FD v1
Authors: Agung Nugroho Rudy
Published: March 2023

Background: Ficus deltoidea L. Jack is a folk medicinal plant known for its pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and anti-angiogenic. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-angiogenic properties of silver nanoparticles biosynthesized using F. deltoidealeaf extract (AgNPs-Fd). Methods: The AgNPs-Fd were synthesized by mixing 100 mL 1 mM aqueous silver nitrate (AgNO3) and 100 mL 0.1%F. deltoidea ethanolic leaf extract. The resulting AgNPs-Fd were observed for color change and Tyndall effects. Reaction mixture color change from pale brown to reddish brown was observed at 48 h at 37℃oC. The characterization of AgNPs-Fd was completed with UV–Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. For quantitative analysis of the vascular network in thechorio allantoic membrane(CAM) assay, AngioTool open-source software was used. Results:The plasmon resonance peak for AgNPs-Fd at 430 nm was visible in the UV-Visible spectrum, indicating the formation of AgNPs-Fd. TheF. deltoidea extract and nanoparticles interacted well according to FTIR analysis. The AgNPs-Fd morphology of 20 nm particle sizes was observed using TEM. The chromatographic analysis of AgNPs-Fd identified potential anti-angiogenic compounds, such as phytol, stigmasterol, lupeol, and sitosterol. The angiogenic inhibition properties of AgNPs-Fd were tested using the CAM assay. The 90mg dose AgNPs-Fd treatment in CAMs demonstrated significant anti-angiogenesis, indicating effectiveness in controlling vessel formation. Conclusion: The present study suggests that eco-friendly work and the “green” process of AgNPs-Fd is potentially applicable for nanobiotechnology in anti-angiogenic fields.

The article attempts a socio-philosophical analysis of advertising activity as a factor of socio-cultural changes in society and the formation of social meanings. The concept of advertising appears to indicate a peculiar nature of human economic activity at the level of consumption. it is stated that advertising is not only a means of communication (the product of objective conditions), but also the affirmation and deployment of the activity of a social subject. It was determined that advertising is a branch of communication and a social phenomenon that represents the information space where the reality of consumption of declared values is cultivated. It was revealed that, by its essence, advertising activity is a polyphonic phenomenon, diversified in many forms. In such a polyphony of advertising activity, what is dominant is what appears through the relationship between what is individually desired and what is socially acceptable. The functionality of such a relationship is ensured by appropriate mass media and the multidimensionality of advertising itself. It has been proven that advertising activity allows not only to outline these orientations in a unique way through the innovative use of symbols, metaphors, «simulacrums», etc., but also to determine the main directions of intensification of the life activity of a person and society thanks to the reorganization and transformation of social relations.
MEDIATING EFFECT OF ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ON THE EFFECT OF TEAMWORK ATTITUDE ON TEAM PERFORMANCE
Authors: GÜN Gül
Published: March 2023

The behavioral processes in which people manage independent work, and/or the affective, cognitive, and motivative states emerging during working are usually dedicated to “teamwork”. Behavioral processes involve actions like communication, coordination, expertise sharing, and help. Emergent states involved, ie., mutual respect and psychological safety. Organizational structure is defined as the formal system for duty and authority relationships controlling the way that individuals coordinate their actions and use resources to accomplish the goals of an organization that the job was changed from individual-oriented to collaborative approaches, in that case, teams were assumed to be the milestone of the structure for the organization. This study aims to examine the mediating effect of organizational structure on the effect of attitudes towards teamwork and its sub-dimensions (Team Structure, Leadership, Situation Monitoring, Mutual Support, Communication) on team performance. In this context, data were collected from 115 employees working at Fethi Sekin City Hospital in Elazığ, by survey method. “Teamwork Attitudes Scale”, “Teamwork Performance”, and “Organizational Structure scale” were used as data collection tools. The research was tested by using Process software. In the study, the Pearson correlation test, Process Regression analysis was used as one of the test techniques. As a result of the research, the effect of team structure, which is one of the sub-dimensions of teamwork attitudes, on team performance is mediated by the organic organizational structure. In addition, the effect of mutual support and communication, which are sub-dimensions of teamwork attitudes, on team performance is mediated by the organic organizational structure.
