New approaches to learning and assessing through escape rooms in English and Sciences areas = Nuevos enfoques para aprender y evaluar con "escape rooms" en las áreas de inglés y ciencias
Authors: Dorado Escribano Guadalupe
Published: April 2019

AbstractSome of the current and ongoing challenges ahead in the teaching of English in science areas include the competitiveness among students and the traditional ways to assess their progress. As a proposal in order to meet these goals, we advocate escape rooms that have been considered as a powerful tool in education. However, we want to incorporate a new element in this educational experience. Students do not have to “play” an escape room but to “create” an escape room. Throughout the creation of the escape room, students had to rely on their group members as there were some tasks that not everybody in the group knew how to solve. That emphasized the teamwork and cooperation rather than competitiveness. Students were revising all the knowledge learnt in different subjects to be able to create the tasks for the escape room and this helped us to assess the understanding of the content. Results showed creativity, collaboration, problem solving and critical thinking at the same time that the challenges and objectives established were completely met.ResumenAlgunos de los retos actuales en la enseñanza del inglés en las materias de ciencias incluyen la competitividad entre los estudiantes y la manera tradicional de evaluar su progreso. Como propuesta para conseguir estos objetivos, proponemos las “escape rooms” consideradas como herramienta poderosa en educación. Sin embargo, el nuevo elemento que nosotros incorporamos a esta experiencia educativa no es que los alumnos “jueguen” sino que “creen” una “escape room”. A lo largo de la creación de la “escape room”, los estudiantes tuvieron que confiar en los miembros de su grupo ya que había tareas que no todos los componentes del grupo sabían cómo resolver. Esto manifestó el trabajo en equipo y la cooperación más que la competitividad. Los estudiantes revisaron todo el conocimiento aprendido en diferentes asignaturas para poder crear las tareas de la “escape room” y esto nos ayudó a evaluar el entendimiento del contenido. Los resultados mostraron creatividad, colaboración, resolución de problemas y pensamiento crítico al mismo tiempo que los retos y objetivos establecidos para esta experiencia educativa se cumplieron en su totalidad.
The Results on Vertex Domination in Fuzzy Graphs

Published: April 2019

We do fuzzification the concept of domination in crisp graph by using membership values of nodes, $\alpha$-strong arcs and arcs. In this paper, we introduce a new variation on the domination theme which we call vertex domination. We determine the vertex domination number $\gamma_v$ for several classes of fuzzy graphs, specially complete fuzzy graph and complete bipartite fuzzy graphs. The bounds is obtained for the vertex domination number of fuzzy graphs. Also the relationship between $M$-strong arcs and $\alpha$-strong is obtained. In fuzzy graphs, monotone decreasing property and monotone increasing property is introduced. We prove the vizing's conjecture is monotone decreasing fuzzy graph property for vertex domination. we prove also the Grarier-Khelladi's conjecture is monotone decreasing fuzzy graph property for it. We obtain Nordhaus-Gaddum (NG) type results for these parameters. The relationship between several classes of operations on fuzzy graphs with the vertex domination number of them is studied.
From Disaster to Sustainability: Breaking the Cycle of Floods in Houston, Texas
Authors: Hampshire Ana , Sipes James L.
Published: April 2019

The consequences of growing urbanization can be perceived in multiple levels around the globe: overpopulated living conditions, water and air pollution, loss of open space, costly transportation infrastructure, food shortages, fires and floods. The Houston metropolitan area is an example of fast urban growth, with a population increase of more than sixteen percent in seven years, going from 5.8 million people in 2010 to 6.9 million in 2017 [1]. By 2045, the robust growth of the region is projected to lead to the addition of approximately five hundred square miles of developed area, including an estimated six million parking spaces, seven hundred eighty million square feet of non-residential uses, and three and a half billion square feet of residential use [2]. The accelerated development, in addition to physical features, geomorphic processes and human activities in the region are believed to have caused Houston to suffer through over fifty devastating floods since its settlement, despite some successful flood damage reduction projects. The present study focused on the potential outcomes of an increased use of green infrastructure in comparable urban areas, and its effects on flooding volume. Results from the research revealed that not only these measures would likely improve the performance of existing urban drainage systems and attenuate flood incidence in the area, but would also promote connectivity between areas otherwise detached or only accessible by car, improving walkability and incentivizing engagement in outdoor activities.
Fatigue Assessment of Prestressed Concrete Slab-between-Girder Bridges
Authors: Lantsoght Eva O.L. , Koekkoek Rutger , van der Veen Cor , Sliedrecht Henk
Published: April 2019

In the Netherlands, the assessment of existing prestressed concrete slab-between-girder bridges showed that the thin, transversely prestressed slabs may be critical for static and fatigue punching when evaluated using the recently introduced Eurocodes. On the other hand, compressive membrane action increases the capacity of these slabs and changes the failure mode from bending to punching shear. To improve the assessment of the existing prestressed slab-between-girder bridges in the Netherlands, two 1:2 scale models of an existing bridge, the Van Brienenoord Bridge, were built in the laboratory and tested monotonically as well as under cycles of loading. The result of these experiments is: 1) the static strength of the decks, showing that compressive membrane action significantly enhances the punching capacity, and 2) the Wöhler curve of the decks, showing that compressive membrane action remains under fatigue loading. The experimental results can then be used for the assessment of the most critical existing slab-between-girder bridge. The outcome is that the bridge has sufficient punching capacity for static and fatigue loads, and thus that the existing slab-between-girder bridges in the Netherlands fulfil the code requirements for static and fatigue punching.

Published: April 2019

Cocoa is an important commodity crop not only to produce one of the most complex products such as chocolate from the sensory perspective, but one that commonly grows in developing countries close to the tropics. This paper presents novel techniques applied using cover photography and a novel computer application (VitiCanopy) to assess the canopy architecture of cocoa trees in a commercial plantation in Queensland, Australia. From the cocoa trees monitored, pod samples were collected, fermented, dried and grinded to obtain the aroma profile per tree using gas chromatography. The canopy architecture data were used as inputs in an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm and the aroma profile considering six main aromas as targets. The ANN model rendered high accuracy (R = 0.82; MSE = 0.09) with no overfitting. The model was then applied to a satellite image from the whole cocoa field studied to produce canopy vigor and aroma profile maps up to the tree-by-tree scale. The tool developed could aid significantly the canopy management practices in cocoa trees that have a direct effect on cocoa quality.

Published: April 2019

Buildings have started to play a critical role in the stability and resilience of modern smart grids, leading to a refocusing of large scale energy management strategies from the supply side to the consumer side. When the buildings integrate local renewable energy generation in the form of renewable energy resources they become prosumers and this reflects into additional complexity into the operation of the interconnected complex energy systems. A class of methods of modelling the energy consumption patterns of the building have recently emerged as black-box input-output approaches with the ability to capture underlying consumption trends. These make use and require large quantities of quality data produces by non-deterministic processes underlying the energy consumption. We present an application of a class of neural networks, namely deep learning techniques for time series sequence modelling with the goal of accurate and reliable building energy load forecasting. The Recurrent Neural Network implementation uses Long Short-Term Memory layers in increasing density of nodes to quantify prediction accuracy. The case study is illustrated on four university buildings from temperate climates over one year of operation using a reference benchmarking dataset that allows replicable results. The obtained results are discussed in terms of accuracy metrics and computational and network architecture aspects and are considered suitable for further used in future in situ energy management at the building and neighbourhood levels.

Characterization of genetic diversity, population structure and linkage disequilibrium is prerequisite for proper management of breeding programs and conservation of genetic resources. In this study, 186 chickpea genotypes including advanced “Kabuli” breeding lines and Iranian landrace “Desi” chickpea genotypes were genotyped using DArTseq-Based SNP markers. Out of 3339 SNPs, 1152 markers with known chromosomal position were selected for genome diversity analysis. The number of mapped SNP markers varied from 52 (LG8) to 378 (LG4), with an average of 144 SNPs per linkage group. The chromosome size that covered by SNPs varied from 16236.36 kbp (LG8) to 67923.99 kbp (LG5), while LG4 showed higher number of SNPs, with an average of 6.56 SNPs per Mbp. Polymorphism information content (PIC) value of SNP markers ranged from 0.05 to 0.50, with an average of 0.32, while the markers on LG4, LG6 and LG8 showed higher mean PIC value than average. Un-weighted Neighbor Joining cluster analysis and Bayesian-based model population structure grouped chickpea genotypes into four distinct clusters. Principal component analysis (PCoA) and Discriminant Analysis of Principal Component (DAPC) results were consistent with that of the cluster and population structure analysis. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) was extensive and LD decay in chickpea germplasm was relatively low. A few markers showed r2≥0.8, while 2961 pairs of markers showed complete LD (r2=1) and a huge LD block was observed on LG4. High genetic diversity and low kinship value between pairs of genotypes suggesting the presence of a high genetic diversity among studied chickpea genotypes. This study also demonstrated the efficiency of DArTseq-based SNP genotyping for large scale genome analysis in chickpea. The genotypic markers provided in this study are useful for various association mapping studies when combined with phenotypic data of different traits such as seed yield, abiotic and biotic stresses and therefore can be efficiently used in breeding programs to improve chickpea.

According to the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, population growth in Yogyakarta has increased massively every year. The increased number of residents that occur, resulted in the need of house, and also the green fields will used as a residential land. Increased population definitely increase the level of food needs, but in contrast to productive land that should become a food barn of the population. Increased population will begin to shift the social side in humans because the places of interaction between individuals that should be the main forum of society to interact and socialize will be loss. Responding to this, the design application of Ecological Architecture needed, which raises a harmony between the building, human and natural environment. The research method is descriptive qualitative which begins by collecting data related to the integration of vertical living and vertical farming, literature review related to kampong vertical living theory, vertical farming system: hydroponic, and Ecological Architecture theory, then processed and concluded to be a guidance in analysis designing. From the analysis that has been done then generated an integrated design of kampong vertical living & urban vertical farming that can support sustainability design based on the application of Ecological Architecture theory.
INEFFECTIVENESS OF THE LAW ON CROSS INSOLVENSI UNCITRAL MODEL
Authors: . Sefriani
Published: April 2019

Legal problems due to cross border insolvency are increasingly complex. The United Nations has issued the 1997 Model Law on Cross border Insolvency (CBI) to help countries solve their CBI problems. However, this model law is not effective because very few countries adopted it. The legal problem studied is why very few countries adopted the model law and how to overcome the ineffectiveness of the model law. The results of the study indicate that the lack of adoption of the model law caused by: the model law is only a non-binding legislative text; Too much flexibility encourages deviations from the provisions; do not want to reduce their sovereignty, status quo, international cooperation recommended by the model law is not always of primary interest, and many countries have been bound by international agreements on regional CBI which are considered more relevant than the model law.  The solutions that can be suggested to overcome the ineffectiveness of the model law on CBI are national bankruptcy laws mechanism; the International Treaties and Conventions mechanism; Rules, Regulations, Principles and Guidelines mechanisms and protocol or adhoc agreements.

This article aims to analyse the jurisprudence developed by international courts and tribunals with regard to the standard of treatment of foreign investors, with particular focus on issues concerning expropriation. In doing so, it will analyse some of the standard-setting decisions and far-reaching implications of: the Iran-US Claims Tribunals, the International Court of Justice and the ICSID. It will also examine the recent trend in jurisprudence on the so-called regulatory takings of foreign investment. It will explore: (a) how the decisions of international courts and tribunals have ‘fleshed out’ the principles of the law of foreign investment on, inter alia, the definition of expropriation and nationalisation and determination of the quantum of compensation; (b) how the frontiers of expropriation have been extended to cover regulatory takings

Authors: Samuel Mercy Igoki , Changwony Dinah
Published: April 2019

Parents form the core unit of a family and are at the very basic in the growth and development of their children. This includes moulding the children’s behaviour at different stages of life. While studies have been conducted to establish what influence parenting styles have on their children, there is no consensus on how the behaviour of children is influenced by the method used by parents in bringing them up.  This paper, therefore, is a result of a study that sought to establish the effect of parental styles on the behaviour of students in secondary schools in Nairobi County. Respondents were sampled from 60 public secondary schools in Nairobi County consisting of head-teachers, student counsellors and students who were targeted as respondents and from whom data was collected. The study established that students had been involved in indiscipline cases at least 1 to 3 times in the previous year. The study concludes that discipline and child behaviour will largely depend on the style of parenting adopted by the parents. While some parenting styles like authoritative promote good behaviour in children, others like authoritarian promote dysfunctional behaviours. Despite having money to pay for the students and facilitate their learning, the study found out that some parents did not spend time with their children hence increasing cases of indiscipline. The study recommends parents’ involvement in promoting good behaviour among their children both at school and at home.

Mudharabah is a special kind of partnership between two parties, where one partner providers the capital executed (shahibul mal) and the other supplying the labor and skill as agent or manager (mudharib), for investing in a pre-determined activity, which grants each party a share of the earnings as determined at the time of the investment. On this Implementation while the risk in financing mudharabah, especially on this the financing application, high relatively, among other side streaming, negligence and misconduct willful, concealment of profits by customers when customers are not honest. The amount of financing risk is shown in the ratio of non-performing finance. The high of non-performing finance indicates the large number of borrowers who can’t repay their finance in accordance with the initial agreement that has been agreed between the bank and the customer, so financing becomes problematic. Funding problems can be caused by the bank itself, the customers or external parties. KSPPS BMT Bina Ummat Sejahtera Mijen Kudus has been anticipating the event of a dispute banking, especially in the provision of financing problems. On this theory of completion financing problems, be done with several measures including the rescue action by intensive bill, rescheduling, re-requirements and realignment. Rescue actions made by bank on this condition that the customer is still considered to have good faith to settle the payment.

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o efeito de três regimes de cortes em estádio vegetativo (Sem corte; um corte e dois cortes), sobre os aspectos produtivos e nutricionais de cinco cereais de inverno, colhidos para produção de silagem. Os cereais usados foram o trigo (Triticum aestivum cv. BRS Gralha Azul), cevada (Hordeum vulgare cv. BRS Brau), aveia branca (Avena sativa cv. URS Guará), aveia preta (Avena strigosa cv. Embrapa 139) e triticale (X Triticosecale cv. IPR 11). Para a massa de forragem seca total, o aumento no número de cortes gerou redução na produção de todos os cereais. O triticale apresentou a maior estabilidade produtiva, uma vez que não houve diferença (P>0,05) para o regime sem corte (12.317 kg MS/ha) e com um corte (11.944 kg MS/ha). O regime de cortes influenciou os componentes morfológicos, pois houve redução das porcentagens de colmo e folha e aumentou a porcentagem de espiga e a quantidade de folhas senescentes em relação as folhas totais. Os teores de NDT não foram influenciados negativamente pelos regimes de corte, com exceção da aveia branca. Dos cereais avaliados, a cevada apresentou menores valores (P
GALC mutations in Chinese patients with late-onset Krabbe disease: a case report
Authors: Zhuang Shunzhi , Kong Lingen , Li Caiming , Chen Likun , Zhang Tingting
Published: April 2019

Background: Krabbe disease (also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy) cause by a deficiency of the enzyme -galactocerebrosidase (galactosylceramidase, GALC). The deficiency of GALC leads to accumulation of galactosylceramide and psychosine, the latter GALC substrate having a potential role in triggering demyelination. Typically, the disease has an infantile onset, with rapid deterioration in the first few months, leading to death before the age of 2 years. The late onset forms (late-infantile, juvenile, and adult forms) are rare with variable clinical outcomes, presenting spastic paraplegia as the main symptom.
Case presentation: We recruited a family with two affected individuals. The proband (Patient 1), a 25-year-old male, was presented with slow progressive symptoms, including spastic gait disturbance and vision loss since the 5th year of life. His elder sister (Patient 2), became wheelchair-bound and demented at the age of 22 years. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed increased signal intensity in the white matter along with the involvement of the bilateral corticospinal tracts. GALC deficiency was confirmed by biochemical analysis. DNA sequencing revealed two mutations (c.865G>C: p. G289R and c.136G>T: p. D46Y) in GALC. The clinical characteristics, brain MRI, biochemical and molecular findings led to the diagnosis of Krabbe disease.
Conclusion: Clinical and neuroimaged signs, positive enzymatic analysis and molecular data converged to definite diagnosis in this neurodegenerative disease.

Objectives：The prevalence of HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM) has shown a consistent upward trend in China and has become a significant public health challenge. The aim was to comprehensively estimate the national prevalence of HIV among MSM and its time trends through a large-scale systematic review.
Methods：Systematic search of Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Data databases without language restriction for studies on the prevalence of HIV among MSM published before March 2016. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they were published in the peer-reviewed literature and used validated assessment methods to assess the prevalence of HIV among MSM. Estimates were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis.
Results：Data were extracted from 325 cross-sectional studies (482,977 individuals) covered 59 cities from 30 provinces and municipalities of China. The overall national prevalence of HIV among MSM from 2001 to 2014 was estimated to be 6.32% (95% CI: 6.05–6.60%), with high between-study heterogeneity (I2 = 92.3%, P < 0.001). A dramatic increase was showed in HIV prevalence over the past 14 years, 1.31% (95%CI: 0.33–5.07%) in 2001, reaching a high of 11.44% (95%CI: 10.19%-12.83%) in 2014. HIV prevalence was the highest in those aged 50 years and older with HIV prevalence of 19.31 %( 95%CI: 13.14-27.44%). HIV was more prevalent in the illiterate population (16.76%), than in those who had received an education. Although the internet was a major venue for Chinese MSM seeking male sex partners (41.65%, 95%CI: 0.3947-0.4387), seeking MSM in bathhouses/saunas had the highest associated prevalence of HIV (14.58%, 95%CI: 11.40%-18.47%). The HIV prevalence among MSM varied by location: compared with other regions in China, HIV was highly prevalent among MSM in the southwest (11.06%, 95%CI: 10.22%-11.95%). Compared to participants who sometimes or always used condoms, participants who had never used a condom in the past 6 months had a higher risk of HIV infection, with odds ratios of 0.1 (95%CI: 0.08-0.14).Conclusions：Our analysis provided reliable estimates of China’s HIV burden, which appears to present an increasing national public health challenge. Effective government responses are needed to address this challenge and include the implementation of HIV prevention.
Antennal transcriptome analysis and expression profiles of odorant binding proteins in two woodwasps, Sirex noctilio and S. nitobei (Hymenoptera: Siricidae)

Background

The olfactory system is the foundation of insect behavior. Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are key components of the insect olfactory system. The woodwasp Sirex noctilio Fabricius is a major quarantine pest worldwide that was first discovered in China in 2013 and mainly harms members of the Pinus genus. S. nitobei Matsumura is a native species in China and is closely related to S. noctilio. To gain insights into the olfactory mechanisms of these two woodwasp species, olfactory genes were identified using antennal transcriptome analysis. We also analyzed the expression profiles of OBPs with RT-qPCR.

Results

From our transcriptome analysis, 16 OBPs, 7 chemosensory proteins (CSPs), 41 odorant receptors (ORs), 8 gustatory receptors (GRs), 13 ionotropic receptors (IRs), and one sensory neuron membrane protein (SNMP) were identified in S. noctilio, while 15 OBPs, 6 CSPs, 43 ORs, 10 GRs, 16 IRs, and 1 SNMP were identified in S. nitobei. Most of the olfactory genes identified in two species were homologous. However, some species-specific olfactory genes were identified in the antennal transcriptomes, including SnocOBP13, SnocCSP6, SnocOR26, SnitGR9, and SnitIR17. In total, 14 OBPs (7 in S. noctilio and 7 in S. nitobei) were expressed primarily in the antennae of the two woodwasps. SnocOBP11 and SnitOBP11 were highly expressed in antennae and were also clearly expressed in the external genitalia. SnocOBP3 is highly expressed in the genitalia of females, and SnocOBP7 and SnitOBP7 are highly expressed in the genitalia of males. Meanwhile, SnocOBP10 was specifically expressed in male heads.

Conclusion

In total, 86 olfactory proteins were identified in S. noctilio, and 91 were identified in S. nitobei. Most SnocOBPs and SnitOBPs displayed enriched expression in the antennae, which are involved in odor recognition. A few OBPs were mainly expressed in the external genitals or heads and exhibited an obvious sex bias, which may indicate that the external genitals and heads are able to recognize sex pheromones or plant volatile compounds as a part of normal behaviors such as feeding, mating, or spawning. Our study provides key insights regarding the mechanism of interactions between the insect olfactory system and specific odor molecules.
