Game On!
Authors: Bawa Papia
Published: June 2020

Today, there is growing interest in digital game-based learning (DGBL) due to the increase in the variety of educational and commercial games available. Literature indicates that video games in general have entertaining, motivational, and educational benefits. Despite this, there is a lack of research comparing game types to assess their value for learning. Typically, DGBL approach may include a variety of game types, like those designed for educational purposes such as digital education games (DEGs), as well as those created for entertainment and commercial reasons, such as massively multiplayer online games (MMOs). Digital games do possess a significantly high capacity to keep users engaged, which is a potential that can be used to motivate learners to interact more deeply with their learning environments, and consequently enhance their performances. This study supports the hypothesis that both DEGs and MMOs can be instrumental in improving engagement and learning versus traditional teaching methods. The article shares the results of the mixed methods study that examined the use of one DEG and four MMOs in undergraduate courses within a community college. The results suggest that learner performance and engagement are enhanced when using DGBL for both types of games, versus the traditional teaching methods. Additionally, practitioner and future research implications are also discussed.
Towards a Model to Improve Boolean Knowledge Mapping by Using Text Mining and Its Applications
Authors: Menaouer Brahami , Mohammed Sabri , Nada Matta
Published: June 2020

The textual document set has become an important and rapidly growing information source especially for the health sector. Many efforts are made to cope with medical text explosion and to obtain useful knowledge from it, and also predict diseases and anticipate the cure. Text mining and natural language processing are fast-growing areas of research, with numerous applications in medical, pharmaceutical, and scientific avenues. Text knowledge management oversees the storage, capture, and sharing of knowledge encoded in hospital reports, primarily chronic disease records. The main objective of this article is to present the design of a model to improve Boolean knowledge mapping by knowledge extraction from medical reports dealing with epidemiological surveillance. This model that the authors have developed in this article is conducted in two major phases. The first is the preprocessing phase that produces an index of words which is the vector binary representation in order to generate the categorization model based on the Boolean modeling inspired by the Boolean knowledge management guided by data mining (BKMDM) method. In the second phase, with the data mining techniques, they exploit the vector binary representation to improve and refine the Boolean knowledge mapping of SEMEP. They examine experiment performance of the proposed model and compare it with other results such as tacit and explicit knowledge of SEMEP. Finally, knowledge mapping can be used for decision making by health specialists or can help in research topics for improving the health system.

O desempenho das micro e pequenas empresas (MPEs) brasileiras é um tema de grande relevância, tendo em vista que este segmento representa mais da metade dos empregos formais do país, mas possui uma elevada taxa de mortalidade. Entre os motivos que levam a extinção destas empresas, destaca-se a falta de uso da contabilidade gerencial. Neste contexto, outras pesquisas já foram realizadas apresentando resultados contraditórios. Ora os resultados evidenciam que a relação entre o uso de informações gerencias e o desempenho é insignificante ou negativa, ora os resultados evidenciam uma relação positiva. Observando essa lacuna, esta pesquisa objetivou analisar o efeito do ambiente na relação entre o uso de informações gerenciais e o desempenho das MPEs. Para tanto, foi realizado um levantamento com 81 empresas de uma região do estado do Paraná. Por meio de testes de regressão linear múltipla e mediação, os resultados mostraram que as empresas que se depararam com um ambiente de grande dinamismo e de difícil previsibilidade fazem mais uso da contabilidade gerencial e que o uso da contabilidade gerencial auxilia as empresas a possuírem melhores níveis de desempenho. Ao final, foi encontrado um efeito indireto do ambiente no desempenho empresarial por meio da contabilidade gerencial.
Material Engineering and Design of a Relativistic Engine: How to Avoid Radiation Losses
Authors: Rajput Shailendra , Yahalom Asher
Published: June 2020

In a previous paper [1] we have shown that Newton’s third law cannot strictly hold in a distributed system of which the different parts are at a finite distance from each other. This is due to the finite speed of signal propagation which cannot exceed the speed of light at vacuum, causing the total force in the system to not add up to zero. This was demonstrated in a specific example of two current loops with time dependent currents in at least one of the loops [1], or in one-time dependent loop current and a permanent magnet assembly [2, 3]. A relativistic engine was thus suggested. Since the system is affected by a total force for a finite period of time this means that the system acquires mechanical momentum and energy, the question then arises how to accommodate the law of momentum and energy conservation. The subject of momentum conversation was discussed in [4], while a preliminary discussion of the subject of electric energy conservation is given in [5, 6]. Here we discuss some of the radiation losses associated with the engine and their implications on the energy balance.

The adsorption behavior and inhibition mechanism of (1, 4, 7-Tris [hydrogen (6-methylpyridin-2-yl) phosphonate] -1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane) (TPP) on the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M HCl were investigated by weight loss technique, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods for different concentrations at 25°C. The results show that the inhibition efficiency values depend on the amount of immersion times and the concentration. A 90% efficiency is found at the highest concentration of the studied compound according to weight loss measurements. The adsorption of the investigated inhibitor on the mild steel surface was well supported using an AFM study. For the assignment of the absorption sites, we performed quantum chemical calculations with (DFT) method. The interaction between the inhibitor and iron surface were performed by molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. In this paper, experimental methods and results used to assess the efficiency of the studied compound are presented.
Room Temperature Creep of a Tin-Lead Solder Wire under Self-Weight
Authors: Chama Christopher C.
Published: June 2020

Creep tests using a simple jig have been performed on 63 wt.% tin-37 wt.% lead solder wires of diameters 1 mm and 2 mm at room temperature (23°C). Coils containing 5 or 10 rings were allowed to creep under their own weight for 60 minutes. It was noted that for either of these diameter wires, the coil with 10 rings had significantly large vertical displacements as compared to those with 5 rings. In each particular coil, the highest vertical displacements were in the bottom rings. The overall maximum vertical displacement was 76.5 mm and this was in a bottom ring of the 2 mm diameter wire with 10 rings. However, in all cases, the amount of horizontal displacement was negligible. The bottom ring of the 2 mm diameter wire had the largest initial strain of 0.151 at 5 minutes and final strain of 0.546 at 60 minutes; this was in the coil with 10 rings. Although no consistent pattern in change between the initial and final diameters was noted for the rings in any coil even after 24 hours of creep, it was quite apparent that in a majority of cases a change in diameter occurred. The main factor responsible for the observed creep is attributed to the weight of the rings in the coils rather than capillary flow.

Published: June 2020

The presence of high CO2 content in natural gas reservoirs is one of the significant threats to the environment. Cryogenic CO2 capture technology is amongst the emerging technologies used for natural gas purification before customer use. In this research work, the binary CO2-CH4 mixture having 75% CO2 content is studied. Aspen Hysys simulator with Peng Robinson property package is used for the prediction of phase equilibrium data for the binary mixture. The data obtained through the Aspen Hysys simulator is optimized for the S-V two-phase region for maximum CO2 capture. Response surface methodology is used for the optimization of the predicted data. Optimization of the pressure and temperature conditions is done to obtain maximum CH4 in the top stream and minimum CO2 with minimum energy requirement. In this research work, the pressure and temperature ranges selected from the predicted phase equilibrium data for the optimization are 1 to 20 bar and-65 to-150 °C respectively. At atmospheric pressure and-123.50 °C, the desirability value is maximum, which is 0.843. under these conditions, the CO2 and CH4 in the top product stream are 1070.72 Kg/hr and 152.04 Kg/hr respectively with an energy requirement of 2.087 GJ/hr.
1D Compressibility of High Moisture Content Clays Solidified with Small Cement Dosages
Authors: Gubran Mohammed Mansoor , Chan Chee Ming
Published: June 2020

Soft soil is normally associated with high moisture content and fine content which result in high compressibility and low strength. However, a proper treatment such as solidification by means of hydraulic binders is required in order to be usable for beneficial purposes (e.i backfilling). This paper experiments the effects of cement treatment on the one-dimensional (1D) consolidation behavior of a high moisture content (MC) soil (twice liquid limit), based incremental loading test. The effects of Portland cement addition are evaluated for dosages ranging from 0 % to 15% by dry mass of soil. After curing, it was found that 10 % cement was required to make meaningful reduction in MC for kaolin while no major difference was noted between after mixing and after curing for DMS. In kaolin the moisture content decreased by 6.5 % for each 5 % increment of cement. Similarly, the MC of DMS reduced by 10 % for each 5 % increment. Thus, the reduction, immediately after mixing, in DMS was higher by 3.5 % compared to kaolin. The most evident effect of the treatment feasibility is the development of a cementation-induced yield stress after 7 days of curing: the bigger the cement dosage, the greater the yield stress and the greater the vertical effective stress that can be sustained at any void ratio. The maximum yield stress at 15 % cement content was found 30 kPa and 70 kPa for DMS and kaolin respectively. The highest void ratio values were found in the control specimens (3.77) in kaolin and DMS (5.66) whereas the lowest void ratio was corresponded to 15 % cement 3.35 and 4.65 for kaolin and DMS respectively. The control specimens decreased dramatically from 38.93 m2 / KN - 0.13 m2 / KN and 36.03 m2 / KN - 0.19 m2 / KN for kaolin and DMS specimens respectively. The results correspondingly provide a consistent depiction of the effects of cement treatment on MC, void ratio and coefficient of volume compressibility. The effectiveness of the treatment is obvious compared to the untreated soil.

Published: June 2020

In this study, raw wood (RW) samples were impregnated with a mixture of furfural alcohol (FA), styrene (ST), and nanoclay of varying concentration of FA and ST. These impregnated wood and RWsamples were then subjected to FTIR, water uptake (WU), and thermal studies. The FT-IR results at 1600-1800 cm-1showed that the ST/FA/clay-WPNCs had different peak numbers with different positions compared with the RW. So, there was an interaction between RW, FA, ST and clay. The WU of ST/FA/clayimpregnated wood is lower than RW. In thermo gravematric result, below 100 °C the impregnated wood samples had less weight lost compared to RW.

Published: June 2020

The usage of agricultural waste in form of ashes as one of the constituent materials in concrete has been studied in recent years. Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) is one of the largest agricultural wastes produced in Malaysia that contain high amount of silica with pozzolanic properties. The mass production of POFA are typically disposed to open area and in turn can generate environmental issues and health hazards. Due to the waste disposal problem, a number of initiatives have been done by utilizing POFA into various construction materials including as substitute to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in concrete production. This paper discusses on the water absorption properties and compressive strength of concrete by utilizing POFA in several series of cement replacement. OPC was replaced by POFA at 2.5%, 5%,7.5% and 10% in these series of mix design. Control OPC concrete sample was also prepared for comparison. The samples were prepared in 100 mm cubic moulds and tested for compressive strength and water absorption for 7, 14 and 28-day curing ages. Three replicates were prepared for each concrete mix and for each test conducted. The results stipulated that the higher percentage of POFA replacement decreased the compressive strength and increased the water absorption amount of concrete mixture over different concrete ages.

Nearshore’s facilities are often require frequent and regular maintenance dredging in maintaining appropriate water depths and enlarging the access channel and turning basin. A large amount of sediment was spawned from the dredging work. The dredged marine sediments (DMS) are not apt to be used in construction activities because of its poor geophysical properties. The purpose of this research is to study the improvement in moisture content and strength ofDMSby using electrokinetic (EK) method.DMSare classified as a high plasticity silt (MH) with 240.74 % of its natural water content. Stainless steel plate was invoked as the electrode, while distilled water (DW), citric acid (CA) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) were applied as the stabilizing agents. The aforementioned stabilizers are electrically injected into theDMSwhich causing flow of the solutions through the pores inDMSunder 50 V/m of applied direct current (DC). The results of treatedDMSare presented in moisture content, undrained shear strength andSEM-EDXanalysis. TheEKtreatedDMSshows it increases in strength in the dry zone area after the 14 days treatment. The dry zone area was created near the anode and wet zone was made near the cathode. The application of calcium ions in the treatment had increased the strength and alters the pattern of the soil fabric. Largely,EKhas significantly improved the quality ofDMSeven though the strength increase observed was not homogeneous throughout the specimen.

Published: June 2020

Injuries are common during sports and exercise. In addition to medication, physical exercise and massage therapy, rehabilitation specialists use a variety of physical modalities to reduce pain, facilitate healing and restore function. These include the use of therapies such as cold, heat, light, ultrasound, extra corporeal shock wave and electrical stimulation. However, if used in an incorrect manner these modalities can cause further harm and delay healing. Hence proper usage is important to maximize benefits and avoid harmful effects. This narrative review will discuss the different physical modalities and techniques, together with their indications, contraindications and techniques of usage.

The standing broad jump (SBJ) is a valid, reliable and feasible field-based test, which can evaluate explosive strength of the lower limbs and physical fitness. This study aimed to provide normative data for the SBJ for male and female children and adolescents and describe differences in performance between age groups and genders. A total number of 2140 children and adolescents, sampled in seven European nations have been included for analysis. The SBJ was performed to derive percentile values for gender and each age group. In general, males have greater jumping performance compared to females. Data demonstrate a linear increase in the jumping distance for both males and females until adolescence. However, such increase is evident in males up to 16-17 years old, whereas in females a plateau value is met at 12-13 years old, with a subsequent decrease in the jumping performance. No differences were present in jumping performance between male and female children, however differences between male and female adolescents were evinced. The study has provided percentile values useful to monitor the physical fitness status of children and adolescents.

Evaluation of clinical-laboratory-therapeutic management and related clinical outcomes (thrombotic-hemorrhagic complications) of patients undergoing treatment with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) during major bleeding. This is a two-year observational retrospective study. 27 cases of major bleeding in patients undergoing a therapy with DOACs presented to the Emergency Department of Arcispedale Santa Maria Nuova (Reggio Emilia Hospital). 16 cases (59%) underwent reversal of anticoagulation treatment: 19% using specific reversal therapy (idarucizumab) and 81% using non-specific agents [4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC)]. Routine laboratory data were available for all the cases, but only for some patients it was possible to obtain the plasma dosage of the oral anticoagulant. Laboratory data confirm rapid correction of activated partial thromboplastin time within one hour from the reversal of anticoagulation with idarucizumab. The absence of correlation between standard blood tests and plasma drug dosage in patients treated with factor Xa Inhibitors was confirmed too. The management of major bleeding during treatment with DOACs using reversal therapy (idarucizumab) and non-specific reversal agent (4F-PCC) showed minimal thrombotic (0.3%) and hemorrhagic (0.3%) complications at 90 days; no events occurred after 6 months.

Splenic abscess is a rare but extremely dangerous condition generally spreading from a local, or systemic, focus of infection. We present the case of a young immunocompetent female admitted with sepsis and multiple splenic abscesses. The patient had a recent left ear piercing on the tragus complicated by an ear infection. The presence of a solitary parotid abscess, the absence of other infectious foci on computed tomography scan, the negativity of blood cultures and the absence of endocarditis vegetations led us to think that the most likely culprit was a hematogenous dissemination from the left tragus. The patient was successfully treated with intravenous antibiotics. There had been no need of splenectomy or any other procedure. This rather unique case underscores that splenic abscess should be suspected when a long-lasting fever and pain in the left hypochondrium are present, even when an apparently innocuous invasive procedure, such as a body piercing, is performed.

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the most common solid cancer in men and is responsible for 11% of all cancer-related deaths. There are limited data available regarding clinicoradiological (prostate-specific membrane antigen [PSMA]-positron emission tomography [PET]/computed tomography [CT], magnetic resonance imaging, and bone scan) characteristics, treatment outcomes, and correlation of clinicoradiological characteristics with treatment outcomes of prostate cancer patients from India, especially in the era of PSMA-PET/CT scan. Methodology: This was a single center, retrospective, observational study, conducted for 6 months. We retrospectively collected the data of 332 prostate cancer patients treated between January 2015 and December 2017 at our institute. Results: Three hundred and thirty-two patients were enrolled and were divided into three groups depending on the stage and treatment modality, i.e., Group A, B, and C containing 205, 47, and 80 patients, respectively. The median age was 67 years, and the median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 19.3 ng/ml. Lower urinary tract symptoms (83.4%) and bone pain (8.1%) were the common presenting symptoms. PSMA-PET/CT scan revealed regional lymph node metastasis in 56.5% patients, bone metastasis in 35.7%, and visceral metastasis in 11.5% patients, respectively. In patients treated with curative intent, radical prostatectomy was performed in 61.74% of patients, whereas radiation therapy was performed in 47 (14.15%) patients. Among those treated with palliative intent, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone (40) was the most preferred therapy followed by the combination of ADT with docetaxel (28) or abiraterone (12). Significantly (P = 0.006), a greater number of patients who were treated with ADT alone progressed to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) compared to those on combination ADT with either abiraterone or docetaxel. No significant difference was seen in the disease progression when treatment arm containing ADT with docetaxel was compared to ADT with abiraterone. Conclusion: Patients with metastatic disease had a higher median PSA level and also had a higher likelihood of having Gleason score 8–10. Among patients who were treated with palliative intent for metastatic disease, disease progression to CRPC state was significantly higher in those treated with ADT alone compared to those treated with either ADT + docetaxel or ADT + abiraterone.

Published: June 2020

The study discusses experiences of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade symbolically represented in Ghana by the Cape Coast Castle. It considers the themes of emotions, transcendence, differentiated voices, and resistances characterised tourists’ experiences of heritage tourism in Ghana. There is already a small but growing literature on heritage tourism in Ghana. But this literature focuses on econometric insights and little consider the emotions and transcendence, differentiated voices and resistances involved in such heritage tourism. This present study then adopts a novel approach of poetic analysis, by employing research and interpretative poems to analyse the transcribed data. It involved observation and in-depth interviews of 50 informants selected through accidental sampling procedure. The study revealed that the deployment of poetry provides a conduit to express complex, heteroglossic forms of reality that move beyond the conventional methodologies common in tourism research. As such, it has contributed to both local and international theories on heritage tourism.

An Analysis of Korean Heritage Learners’ Writing across Different Discourse Types
Authors: So Youngsoon , Sohn Sung-Ock , Kim Jieun
Published: June 2020

This study analyzed compositions written by 74 primary school-level Korean heritage learners enrolled in a dual-language program to investigate whether and how their performance varied across four tasks requiring written responses in four distinct discourse types: narrative, letter, journal, and exposition. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the compositions provided the following findings. First, students produced compositions of varying overall quality, indicated by significantly different holistic scores, across the four writing tasks. Second, in addition to the difference in the holistic scores, their compositions also differed in terms of aspects such as length, syntactic complexity, and successful task completion. Third, different combinations of textual features were found to be significant in explaining the overall quality of written compositions across the four writing tasks, with “cohesion” and “accuracy” being the only variables found to have a significant influence across all four tasks. Last, examination of error types suggested that both linguistic characteristics of the target language and specific aspects of the assessment tasks should be considered in explaining the frequent error types. These findings can inform efforts to address the unique linguistic profiles and educational needs of target student populations (i.e., heritage language learners) in writing instruction and assessment.
Family Language Policies in a Libyan Immigrant Family in the U.S.
Authors: Yazan Bedrettin , Ali Ilham
Published: June 2020

Addressing the paucity of research on the experiences of Arabic-speaking Muslim immigrant families, this study investigated the family language policy (FLP) of a Libyan family currently residing in the Southeast United States. More specifically, it focused on the impact of the parents’ language ideologies and ethnolinguistic aspirations on their language planning decisions about their daughter’s maintenance of Arabic. It drew upon the theoretical constructs of language ideologies (Woolard, 1998) and capital (Bourdieu, 1986). Part of a larger study, the data in this paper are gleaned from two sources: a questionnaire and two rounds of semi-structured individual interviews. The findings suggested that the Abdel-Aziz family’s FLP is driven by the parents’ vision and expectations for their children’s language use, which include (a) aspirations to develop
bilingualism and maintain ethnolinguistic identity, (b) aspirations to develop biculturalism and resist cultural colonization, (c) participating in religious practices and communities, and (d) maintaining relationships with family and Libyan society. In light of the findings, this paper discusses the complex interplay between “linguistic and non-linguistic forces” (Curdt-Christiansen, 2016) in parental language ideologies that influence the emergence and enactment of FLPs.

EDUCAÇÃO PARA IDOSOS: um direito à cidadania
Authors: Santiago Lucas Arruda
Published: June 2020

A educação é um processo permanente, que se inicia na família e continua na escola, e tem por finalidade transmitir a cultura e desenvolver os aspectos formativos, as capacidades física, intelectual, cognitiva e social dos indivíduos. Além de conhecimentos, o sujeito adquire hábitos e costumes essenciais às práticas sociais do cotidiano e ao pleno exercício da cidadania. Tendo por embasamento teórico a pesquisa bibliográfica em autores como Serra (2012), Cachioni (1999), dentre outros, o presente artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre as políticas educacionais para o idoso, abordando uma nova visão acerca do envelhecimento e da possibilidade de educação ao longo da vida, visando atender a essa população que cresce a cada dia, mas que continua sendo tratada de forma preconceituosa e excludente.
