Rural teacher attitudes and engagement with computing and technology
Authors: Mendenhall Melissa P , Tofel-Grehl Colby , Feldon David
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this sequential Case Study-Mixed Methods research is to explore rural teacher attitudes toward, approaches to, and engagement with making and computational thinking during STEM professional development and co-teaching learning experiences. Specifically, we examine the professional learning needs of two rural, middle school teachers as they engage technology. Using the lens of cultural historical activity theory, this paper examines the ways in which teacher attitude about computing shifted throughout professional learning and instructional practice. Findings show three broad themes that emerge surrounding teacher attitudes, approaches, and engagement with technology: Anxiety, Independent Learner, and Integration. Additionally, findings suggest that teacher attitude toward technology can be moderated through the means of a more knowledgeable other who scaffolds teacher learning and integration of technology.

Published: November 2022

Rural students, schools, and communities have unique challenges that hinder academic achievement, growth, and opportunities, compared to other locales. While there is a need to study this community more, there is also a pressing need to bring the local community members together to support the future generation of learners in developing pathways that lead them to future career opportunities. This article focuses on how a Research Practice Partnership (RPP) can be developed in rural communities to support STEM pathways for local middle-school youth. RPPs are often described as long-term collaborations between both researchers and practitioners in which the participating partners leverage research to address specific persistent problems of practice. We present findings from a developing design-based RPP focused on bringing community members and organizations together to co-design opportunities for underserved youth in rural mountain communities.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: One of the main concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic was the overload of health care sector capacities. The objective of this paper was to show peak numbers of selected indicators during the three COVID-19 waves in Croatia and ensure information that will enable revision of preparedness plan and potential hospitals` (re)organization. Methods: Retrospective analysis of COVID-19 testing, infections, hospitalizations, ICU admissions, mechanical ventilation support and deceased data collected via capacity surveillance in the Republic of Croatia during the first three waves. Results: Peak hospital bed occupancy rates observed in the 2nd and 3rd waves were 70.19% and 54.60%, compared to maximum capacity during the COVID-19 wave, and 168.90% and 131.38%, compared to maximum capacity between waves, while ICU beds occupancy rates were 75.51% and 70.73%, and 170.51% and 160.37%, respectively. Peak daily numbers were as follows (first/ second/third wave); positive persons: 53/4827/3198; tested persons: 1984/13325/11622; total hospitalized persons: 372/2976/2315; total mechanical ventilation needed: 31/306/278; total ICU hospitalized: unknown/370/348; deceased: 8/92/52. Conclusion: During pandemic waves, the requirements for hospital and ICU beds significantly exceeded standard available health sector capacities. The system has acutely adjusted by increasing the number of beds available for COVID-19 patients. However, given the peaks observed so far, a permanent additional increase or reorganization of hospital capacity is needed to ensure that during the upcoming waves non-COVID-19 and COVID-19 patients won’t be endangered or part of the staff overloaded.

Vergilendirmede Açıklık İlkesi: Veraset ve İntikal Vergisi Kanunu’nun Okunabilirlik Düzeyine İlişkin Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: KUZUCU YAPAR Burcu
Published: November 2022

Vergilendirmede açıklık ilkesi, vergi mevzuatının açık ve herkes tarafından anlaşılabilir olmasını gerektirir. Bu ilke, mükelleflerin vergiye uyum göstermesi ve verginin başarılı uygulama sonuçları vermesi açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmada bir vergi ihdas eden ve halen yürürlükte bulunan en eski vergi kanunumuz olan 7338 sayılı Veraset ve İntikal Vergisi Kanunu’nun vergilendirmede açıklık ilkesine uygunluğu tartışılmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Kanun metni, okunabilirlik düzeyi açısından incelenmektedir. Metnin okunabilirlik düzeyi, Ateşman Okunabilirlik Formülü ile tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan hesaplamalar sonucu Kanun metninin okunabilirlik sayısı 33, okunabilirlik düzeyi zor olarak ölçülmüştür. Veraset ve İntikal Vergisi Kanunu’nun ancak lisans mezunları tarafından anlaşılabilecek, okunabilirliği zor bir metin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Oysa bu verginin mükellefleri yalnızca lisans mezunları değildir. Bu sebeple yaklaşık 63 yıl önce yürürlüğe girmiş olan Kanun’un hem dilinin güncellenmesi hem de uzun cümlelerden arındırılarak daha açık ve anlaşılır hale getirilmesi gereklidir. Bu değişiklikler metnin okunabilirlik düzeyini arttıracak ve vergilendirmede açıklık ilkesine de uygun olacaktır.

Published: November 2022

This study was designed to create a psychological measuring instrument with a variable of happiness in Muslim adolescents named the “Muslim Youth Happiness Scale” (MYHS). Questionnaires were given to 114 participants who met the characteristics of adolescent boys or girls aged between 12-24 years. The research method used is the construction method of psychological measuring instruments (psychometry). The item scale is built by 5 item makers by creating each scale. The initial points are then recapitulated and internal constructors are eliminated with a total of 14 people consisting of psychology students, psychology study program lecturers, and psychology. The results of this study are a psychological scale consisting of three aspects with 18 items, where each aspect contains 9 items with 3 items per indicator. This aspect consists of Past Positive Emotions, Present Positive Emotions, and Future Positive Emotions. Aiken's V and Cronbach's Alpha scores on the scale are 0.68-0.93 and 0.838, respectively. This adolescent happiness scale shows the reliability and validity of the content which is quite good for assessing happiness in Muslim adolescents. The abbreviated version of the Muslim adolescent happiness scale developed and validated in this study can be used to measure the happiness of Muslim adolescents in the community and other research areas.

A model that will assist on-ground practitioners in their quest to protect biodiversity values in natural ecosystems
Authors: Panetta Franklin
Published: November 2022

There has been ongoing discussion around the necessity for quantitative models in ecology. The use of quantitative modeling is well established in some areas of endeavour, such as Before-After-Control-Impact (BACI) studies, but not in others, in particular the field of invasion ecology. In weed risk analysis, semi-quantitative models (scoring systems, with or without weighting procedures) help policy makers to assess the risk (hazard) posed by individual weed species. Such systems are available to assess weed risk management feasibility at larger geographic scales. However, nothing is available to assist on-ground practitioners in prioritising weed control at the individual site level. Interestingly, the fundamental problem of model choice was solved in the early 2000s by sociological researchers (Dana and Dawes 2004), who demonstrated that qualitative models actually outperformed quantitative models, as long as all of the important factors in the system had been identified. An earlier attempt to establish this finding in the weed invasion literature (Panetta and Cacho 2014) has not been successful. In this paper, I use the results from an ongoing project (“Future-proofing Australia’s National Post-Border Weed Risk Management System”) to develop a model that combines both qualitative and semi-quantitative approaches. This model should be fit-for-purpose by practitioners at the site level, as well as by policy makers charged with allocating scarce resources at larger geographic scales
Morphological variability of Eucyclops serrulatus (Fisher, 1851) (Crustacea, Copepoda, Cyclopoida) from Algerian water bodies
Authors: Akli-Bidi Safia
Published: November 2022

The identification of Eucyclops serrulatus (Fisher, 1851) coming from Algerian water bodies show three morphotypes 1, 2 and 3, based on the morphometric characters and the microcharacters. The morphotype 1 was the most abundant, collected in the East and the West of Algeria. The morphotype 2 was sampled in the south of the country, characterized by posterolaterally elongated thoracic segments and the fourth thoracic segment has cilia on its lateral angles. The morphotype 3 was found in a small temporary pond in the north and was the smallest one. Other differences were observed on surface microcharacters of basis antenna, coxa and intercoxal sclerite of the fourth leg. The characters of the most widespread morphotype (morphotype1) were stable in all localities despite the fact that these were located in two geographically separated regions (Eastern and western Algeria).

Three morphological variability of Eucyclops serrulatus (Fisher, 1851) (Crustacea, Copepoda, Cyclopoida) from Algerian water bodies were identified. The characters of the most widespread morphotype (morphotype 1) were stable in all localities despite the fact that these were located in two geographically separated regions (Eastern and western Algeria). The morphotype 2 did not share some of microcharacters such as basis antenna (posterior face) did not show three parallel rows of hair-like setules.
Du tsar à la République. Les stratégies de reconversion d’officiers russes dans l’armée française après la révolution d’Octobre (1917-1921)
Authors: Piégais Gwendal
Published: November 2022

Dans le sillage de la révolution d’Octobre et de la guerre civile qui fait rage en Russie, la France accueille sur son territoire de nombreux réfugiés russes, parmi lesquels on compte de nombreux vétérans de l’armée impériale. L’armée française reçoit ainsi, jusqu’à la fin de l’année 1918, des dizaines de candidatures d’officiers russes demandant à servir la France. À partir d’une analyse de ces demandes, et des réponses apportées par l’armée française, cet article rend compte des profils de ces hommes qui souhaitent rejoindre l’armée d’un ancien allié. Les réponses apportées par les autorités françaises montrent une tendance – fondée sur un ensemble de représentations – à favoriser un remploi de ces hommes dans l’Empire colonial, ou bien auprès des nouveaux alliés de la France en Europe centrale.
À la recherche d’un front oriental. Le général Gamelin, la Pologne et la Petite Entente, de la remilitarisation de la Rhénanie à l’été 1938
Authors: Catros Simon
Published: November 2022

Alors que la diplomatie française semble marquer le pas après l’ébranlement qu’a constitué le 7 mars 1936 et pour contrer le projet de Pierre Cot d’une alliance franco-soviétique, le général Gamelin, chef de l’armée française, mit en œuvre une paradiplomatie dynamique visant à rapprocher les puissances de l’Europe médiane réputées amies, telles que la Pologne, la Yougoslavie et la Roumanie, de la France. Largement infructueuse, cette paradiplomatie reposait sur un double postulat erroné : que les chefs militaires de ces puissances étaient francophiles ; qu’ils étaient assez influents pour infléchir la politique extérieure de leur gouvernement. Elle ne permit pas de sortir la France et son alliée tchécoslovaque de leur isolement.
Opération Torch : les dernières heures de la collaboration « à la Darlan »
Authors: Costagliola Bernard
Published: November 2022

Nommé à la vice-Présidence du Conseil (fév. 1941), l’amiral de la flotte François Darlan reçoit mission du maréchal Pétain de relancer avec l’Allemagne nazie la collaboration dont le principe a été posé aux entretiens de Montoire (oct. 1940). Darlan élabore une collaboration d’État dans le but de remplacer la convention d’armistice par un statut nouveau permettant à la France de récupérer sa souveraineté au prix de l’alliance militaire avec le Reich. Mais Berlin rejette l’offre du gouvernement de Vichy et Darlan démissionne, remplacé par Pierre Laval. Présent à Alger lors du débarquement anglo-saxon en Afrique du Nord (7-8 nov. 1942), Darlan renonce définitivement au mirage de la collaboration et relance l’Empire dans la guerre aux côtés des Alliés.
Anthropocène et parentage intuitif
Authors: Chesnel Jonathan , Hendrickx Marion
Published: November 2022

L’anthropocène serait finalement l’annonce de changements multiples : environnementaux, sociétaux et concernant la rationalité. L’anthropocène serait ainsi l’annonce que l’environnement naturel et sociétal sera probablement moins prévisible et fiable. Si cette notion concerne le futur, ce qu’elle annonce entraîne probablement des conséquences sur la parentalité dès aujourd’hui. Le curseur du « suffisamment bon » winnicottien se déplace. Certes, d’autres mécanismes contribuent au déplacement de ce curseur. Ces modifications du parentage intuitif ne sont pas sans poser question sur le développement émotionnel. Cependant, nous chercherons à montrer que ces changements ne sont pas d’abord marqués d’une part d’obscurité. Le parentage prépare les enfants au monde d’aujourd’hui et à celui qui vient. Ces changements au niveau de la parentalité favoriseraient peut-être une plus grande créativité pour approcher les événements et la réalité, ainsi qu’une autre rationalité. Ces aspects accélèrent probablement les changements d’économie psychique d’ores et déjà constatés. Ils doivent être pris en compte, en clinique périnatale, pour permettre aux soignants d’avoir une approche à la fois accueillante et exigeante.
Symbolisation primaire et hallucinose anorexique : perspectives conceptuelles et thérapeutiques à partir du cas d’une adolescente prépubère
Authors: Rabeyron Thomas , Bastien Lise , Kabuth Bernard
Published: November 2022

Nous proposons dans ce travail une analyse des processus psychiques de l’anorexie à partir des notions de symbolisation primaire et d’hallucinose. Dans cette perspective, un bref propos introductif présente les grandes caractéristiques de l’anorexie et ses processus, notamment du point de vue du modèle des transformations psychiques de Bion et la notion d’hallucinose. Le cas clinique d’une adolescente hospitalisée dans une unité de pédopsychiatrie offre une illustration des processus psychiques caractéristiques de l’anorexie dont l’analyse théorico-clinique est déclinée selon trois axes. Un premier axe concerne la compréhension de l’anorexie du point de vue d’un défaut de la fonction alpha et de la fonction contenante. Un deuxième axe porte ensuite sur la thématique de l’hyper-contrôle et l’expression de l’agressivité, tandis qu’un troisième axe développe plus avant la compréhension de l’anorexie à partir des notions d’hyperbole, d’hallucinose et de corps supérieur. La dernière partie de ce travail aborde les perspectives thérapeutiques fondées sur la notion d’hallucinose et le modèle des médiations thérapeutiques. Notre objectif est ainsi de souligner la valeur heuristique de la notion d’hallucinose aussi bien sur le plan de la compréhension des processus que de la mise en place du suivi thérapeutique auprès des patients anorexiques.
La relance du plaisir sensoriel par les détours intermodaux en petite enfance
Authors: Zytnicki Jérémy
Published: November 2022

L’accès aux plaisirs sensoriels est l’un des principaux enjeux de la petite enfance. Si tous les sens ne sont pas investis de manière équitable durant cette période primale, la plupart des jeunes enfants vont mettre en œuvre différentes stratégies d’étayage pour développer le plaisir sensoriel dans les sens les moins investis à partir de ceux où l’éprouvé de plaisir est plus conséquent. L’auteur nomme ce processus : « relance du plaisir sensoriel par les détours intermodaux ». Cependant, certains jeunes enfants vont éprouver plus de difficulté à mettre en place ces différents détours. Certains vivront une expérience de déplaisir généralisée de telle manière qu’il n’y aura pas de place pour l’étayage. D’autres, ressentiront leur sensorialité de manière très intense au point que le traitement de l’information sensorielle sera défaillant et ne permettra pas l’investissement intermodal. Pour finir, l’auteur évoquera la possibilité pour les professionnels de faciliter l’accès aux détours intermodaux en les co-construisant avec les jeunes enfants.
The Unequal Impact of Covid-19: Health, Wealth and Behaviors by Income Groups

Published: November 2022

Cet article étudie comment inégalités de richesse et de santé interagissent avec la Covid-19 en renforçant les inégalités de revenu, d’épargne, de risque épidémique et même de comportements individuels de prévention. Nous présentons deux articles et leurs résultats théoriques et empiriques. Les taux de rémission et de contamination au Covid dépendent de l’état de santé de l’individu et de son accès à des services médicaux de qualité. Les individus pauvres, sous contrainte budgétaire, ont un risque accru de perdre leur revenu en devenant malade. Les données sur six pays confirment l’impact disproportionné de l’épidémie sur les 60 % les plus pauvres.
On a class of double phase problem with nonlinear boundary conditions
Authors: Wang Liyan , Shen Jihong , Chi Kun , Ge Bin
Published: November 2022

The existence of nontrivial solutions of the double phase problem with nonlinear boundary value condition is an important quasilinear problem: we use variational techniques and sum decomposition of a space $ W_0^{1, \xi}(\Omega) $ to prove the existence of infinitely many solutions of the problem considered. Moreover, our conditions are suitable and different from those considered previously.
Análisis del discurso de los profesores en formación en un contexto de innovación pedagógica en geometría
Authors: Fortuny Josep María , Recio Tomás , Richard Philippe R. , Roanes-Lozano Eugenio
Published: November 2022

The reflective narratives of three pre-service teachers are analysed from the perspective of discourse analysis and reflection on practice, applied to the acquisition of geometric competences and the role of dynamic geometry. In the context of the master's degree for future secondary school teachers in mathematics and a pedagogical innovation project, where two of the authors gave training sessions entitled ‘automated visualization’ and ‘technological mediation’, the pre-service teachers were given a questionnaire in which they were asked to return to what they had learned, questioning the contribution of their training to their future teaching practice. In the narratives collected, three degrees of reflection can be found, ranging from the naivety of certain assessments to professional initiatives and purely mathematical perspectives. The didactical and mathematical consequences of this analysis are presented and discussed, highlighting, in particular, the intrinsic difficulty of ensuring that relevant, but potentially disruptive, ideas of pedagogical innovation are conveyed to pre-service teachers against the weight of tradition and personal beliefs in mathematics teaching.
Le concept de limite de fonction. Une analyse des schèmes d’étudiants à la transition secondaire-supérieur en France et au Brésil
Authors: Burigato Sonia Maria Monteiro Da Silva , Ouvrier-Buffet Cécile , Freitas Jose Luiz Magalhães De
Published: November 2022

The levels of education and the ways to teach the limits of function are different in France and in Brazil. However, we make the hypothesis that the schemes developed by students regarding the concept of limit can be compared. In this article, we develop a methodology to analyze the students' schemes involving the concept of limit of function with two aims: to finely analyze the processes of today's students (in France and in Brazil) at the beginning of the learning of this concept and to highlight the evolution of their schemes, taking into account that these two countries are different in terms of the teaching of this concept.
Le discret et le continu dans l’enseignement des suites et des fonctions en fin de collège et au lycée
Authors: Rousse Sophie
Published: November 2022

Notions pertaining to the Calculus field in France, up to the end of Seconde (10th grade), are mainly functions and their graphical representations. Curricula, followed by textbooks, integrate these notions into “the continuous”. This appears to be self-evident since “the discrete” is not explicitly addressed. Sequences, which are a priori part of “the discrete”, are first studied in Première.However, “the discrete” and “the continuous” have mathematical aspects and constitute two worlds (in a sense that we will define) between which it is difficult to delineate a boundary. Students’ activities on tasks which mobilize continuous functions may be carried out in the discrete world as much as in the continuous one. Furthermore, sequences and functions in secondary school count numerous interactions and correct or incorrect analogies. Textbooks make choices in the graphical and algebraical registers which differ from one book series to another, which testifies to the existence of objective difficulties. Lastly, in secondary school and MEEF master, students’ work shows a number of confusions between sequences and functions. This leads us to reflect on a possible introduction of sequences prior to functions.
Pratique et poétique du style : de l’utilité de l’étude stylistique pour l’édition
Authors: Blot Caroline
Published: November 2022

L’étude de quelques exemples sélectionnés du Prisonnier desconforté montre l’importance de l’héritage littéraire exploité par le poète. On peut le constater dans la Ballade des proverbes, reprise de Villon, et à travers l’assimilation du Psaume 102, qui placent au premier plan le je du Prisonnier. D’autre part, les multiples jeux morphologiques sur les préfixes, à l’échelle d’un huitain ou dans le texte tout entier, participent du style de l’auteur. Il convient donc à l’éditeur moderne de rendre au mieux ces marques laissées dans la langue de l’auteur par l’auteur.
Un texte et sa continuation : une hypothèse à l’épreuve de quelques expériences stylistiques
Authors: Ferlampin-Acher Christine
Published: November 2022

Artus de Bretagne présente une tradition manuscrite complexe, qui a amené l’auteur de l’article à l’hypothèse que la version attestée par les témoins les plus anciens serait une version V.I suivie d’une continuation. L’article compare les usages de la polysyndète dans les unités narratives que constituent les paragraphes du manuscrit BnF fr. 761. Après avoir exclu l’hypothèse que cette polysyndète narrative interne relève d’un style de genre, on montre que cette caractéristique est nettement marquée dans la première partie qui se distingue ainsi stylistiquement de la seconde. La comparaison avec d’autres manuscrits suggère que l’opposition entre les deux parties n'est vraisemblablement pas le fait du copiste du BnF fr. 761. L’approche stylistique conforte l’hypothèse d’une continuation allographe.
Algerian Literature as Socio-Educational Therapy During the 2020-2021 Pandemic
Authors: Kacimi Mourad
Published: November 2022

This chapter focuses on the therapeutic function of Algerian literary production during the pandemic between 2020 and 2021. It describes the socio-educational environment of the Algerian population before the lockdown and highlights the effect of the pandemic on the cultural life of Algerian intellectuals and citizens. Also it reveals the importance of new technological media such as television, the internet, social networks, and digital books for transmitting literary works as well and then reflects on the contribution of Algerian writers and artists in this exceptional period. Likewise, the use of digital media as an option to replace traditional media in the literary environment is valued.

Authors: Kazanopoulos Spyridon , Tejada Eneko , Basogain Xabier , Mouchritsa Maria
Published: November 2022

With schools closed around the world during the pandemic, the use of technology and distance education has solved the problems and dysfunctions that have arisen. Students, their families, and school personnel have all been affected by the numerous challenges and barriers that have arisen because of distance education. This chapter seeks to evaluate school-family collaboration throughout the pandemic period. The study focuses on families with children who have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their experiences with inclusive education. While the COVID-19 pandemic was underway, parents of children with SEND faced a variety of challenges, including a lack of resources, financial difficulties, communication difficulties, and a lack of attention from teachers. Parents believe that economic, social, and language limitations impede the effectiveness of online inclusion, whereas their digital abilities enable them to aid their children on both technical and psychological levels in overcoming distant learning difficulties.
The dividend relevance pay-out model in the context of an emerging economy
Authors: Munzhelele Freddy , Wolmarans Hendrik , Hall John
Published: November 2022

Orientation: The dividend pay-out policy remains one of the key functional areas of corporate finance, more so in that it is through the receipt of dividends that shareholders can at least share in the profits of their investments.Research purpose: Because of the importance of the dividend decision (especially for emerging economies) as well as its possible link to value creation, the present study sought to providing results with recommendations on pay-out policy to improve dividend decision-making and establish a more defined link between dividends and value creation for management and shareholders alike.Motivation for the study: The endeavours of the current study lie in its contribution to the pay-out debate as it taps into a research area that has been explored minimally in emerging markets, yet it is still among the very topical functional areas of financial decisions.Research design, approach and method: The panel data of 110 Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed sample companies for the period 2006–2018 were used. The sample was further grouped into value and growth companies. Dynamic panel estimators were used to analyse data.Main findings: The study confirmed results of similar previous research and identified further trends relating to the South African corporate setting. Specifically, the study found that companies have target pay-out ratios, which they adjust towards. Furthermore, managers are reluctant to change (increase) dividends, which may have to be cut again later, and in their endeavour to create and maximise value, they may have to sacrifice paying dividends. These trends are evident more with growth companies.Practical implications: These results mirror those of developed markets. Furthermore, the results present South African financial managers with an enhanced platform to create and maximise value for shareholders, relatively the same way as their counterparts in developed markets.Contribution/value-add: This study includes value-based variables among the explanatory variables. It is submitted that this process will enhance the endeavours of financial managers in creating values for shareholders through dividend pay-out.

Objectives: Online misinformation has reached unprecedented levels during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study analyzed the magnitude and sentiment dynamics of misinformation and unverified information about public health interventions during a COVID-19 outbreak in Da Nang, Vietnam, between July and September 2020.Methods: We analyzed user-generated online information about five public health interventions during the Da Nang outbreak. We compared the volume, source, sentiment polarity, and engagements of online posts before, during, and after the outbreak using negative binomial and logistic regression, and assessed the content validity of the 500 most influential posts.Results: Most of the 54,528 online posts included were generated during the outbreak (n = 46,035; 84.42%) and by online newspapers (n = 32,034; 58.75%). Among the 500 most influential posts, 316 (63.20%) contained genuine information, 10 (2.00%) contained misinformation, 152 (30.40%) were non-factual opinions, and 22 (4.40%) contained unverifiable information. All misinformation posts were made during the outbreak, mostly on social media, and were predominantly negative. Higher levels of engagement were observed for information that was unverifiable (incidence relative risk [IRR] = 2.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33–0.62), posted during the outbreak (before: IRR = 0.15; 95% CI, 0.07–0.35; after: IRR = 0.46; 95% CI, 0.34-0.63), and with negative sentiment (IRR = 1.84; 95% CI, 1.23–2.75). Negatively toned posts were more likely to be misinformation (odds ratio [OR] = 9.59; 95% CI, 1.20–76.70) or unverified (OR = 5.03; 95% CI, 1.66–15.24).Conclusions: Misinformation and unverified information during the outbreak showed clustering, with social media being particularly affected. This indepth assessment demonstrates the value of analyzing online “infodemics” to inform public health responses.

Objectives: This study explored the current status of nursing informatics education in South Korea and developed a standardized curriculum for it.Methods: Data were collected in two stages: first, an online survey conducted from December 2020 to February 2021 among 60 nursing schools to analyze the current status of nursing informatics education; and second, a two-round Delphi survey with 15 experts from March to April 2021 to determine the mean and standard deviation of the demand for each learning objective in nursing informatics education. A standardized curriculum proposal was developed based on the results of the two-round Delphi survey.Results: Nursing informatics was most commonly taught in the fourth year (34%), with two credits. The proportion of elective major subjects was high in undergraduate and graduate programs (77.4% and 78.6%, respectively), while the proportion of nursing informatics majors was low (21.4%). The curriculum developed included topics such as nursing information system-related concepts, definitions and components of healthcare information systems, electronic medical records, clinical decision support systems, mobile technology and health management, medical information standards, personal information protection and ethics, understanding of big data, use of information technology in evidence-based practice, use of information in community nursing, genome information usage, artificial intelligence clinical information systems, administrative management systems, and information technology nursing education.Conclusions: Nursing informatics professors should receive ongoing training to obtain recent medical information. Further review and modification of the nursing informatics curriculum should be performed to ensure that it remains up-to-date with recent developments.

Objectives: Early hemorrhage detection in intensive care units (ICUs) enables timely intervention and reduces the risk of irreversible outcomes. In this study, we aimed to develop a machine learning model to predict hemorrhage by learning the patterns of continuously changing, real-world clinical data.Methods: We used the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care databases (MIMIC-III and MIMIC-IV). A recurrent neural network was used to predict severe hemorrhage in the ICU. We developed three machine learning models with an increasing number of input features and levels of complexity: model 1 (11 features), model 2 (18 features), and model 3 (27 features). MIMIC-III was used for model training, and MIMIC-IV was split for internal validation. Using the model with the highest performance, external verification was performed using data from a subgroup extracted from the eICU Collaborative Research Database.Results: We included 5,670 ICU admissions, with 3,150 in the training set and 2,520 in the internal test set. A positive correlation was found between model complexity and performance. As a measure of performance, three models developed with an increasing number of features showed area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve values of 0.61–0.94 according to the range of input data. In the subgroup extracted from the eICU database for external validation, an AUROC value of 0.74 was observed.Conclusions: Machine learning models that rely on real clinical data can be used to predict patients at high risk of bleeding in the ICU.

En Côte d’Ivoire le concombre qui est un légume renfermant de nombreuses vertus sur le plan nutritionnel et sanitaire est devenu essentiel dans l’alimentation des citadins. Ce légume ne fait pas l’objet d’exportation à cause de sa production réduite (environ 30000 tonnes) sous la pression des ravageurs particulièrement les Lépidoptères. Cette étude a été entreprise pour inventorier et décrire les dégâts des Lépidoptères inféodés à la culture de concombre à Daloa. Pour la réalisation de ce travail, des pièges colorés remplis aux deux tiers d’eau savonneuse, un filet fauchoir et une pince entomologique ont été utilisés pour la collecte des Lépidoptères. Une loupe binoculaire a permis d’observer les organes des Lépidoptères non perceptibles à l’oeil nu afin de les identifier à l’aide des clés d’identification. Les observations ont été effectuées en fonction de deux stades phénologiques que sont : Germination-Floraison et à partir de la floraison. Au total 1 640 individus répartis en 15 espèces et 6 familles ont été récoltés. Les familles identifiées sont les Pieridae (444 individus), les Hesperidae (207 individus), les Nymphalidae (445 individus), les Papilionidae (196 individus), les Lycanidae (146 individus) et les Crambidae (202 individus). Le genre le plus vorace était Diphania spp. Cette étude permettra la conception de stratégies de lutte contre les ravageurs (Lépidoptères) du concombre et d'augmenter sa production dont la commercialisation est devenue source de devises.

In Côte d'Ivoire, the cucumber, which is a vegetable with many nutritional and health benefits, has become essential in the diet of city dwellers. This vegetable is not exported because of its reduced production (about 30,000 tons) under the pressure of pests, particularly Lepidoptera. This study was undertaken to inventory and describe the damage of Lepidoptera subservient to cucumber cultivation in Daloa. To do this work, material like colored traps filled to two thirds with soapy water, a mower net and an entomological plier have been used for Lepidoptera collect. A binocular magnifying glass made it possible to observe Lepidoptera organs that were not visible to the naked eye in order to identify them using identification keys. The observations were made according to two phenological stages which are: Germination-Efflorescence and from efflorescence. A total of 1,640 individuals divided into 15 species and 6 families were collected. The families identified are the Pieridae (444 individuals), the Hesperidae (207 individuals), the Nymphalidae (445 individuals), the Papilionidae (196 individuals), the Lycanidae (146 individuals) and the Crambidae (202 individuals). The most voracious genus is Diphania spp. This approach will allow the design of strategies to control cucumber pests (Lepidoptera) and increase its production, the marketing of which has become a source of foreign exchange.

Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common cause of morbidity in children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) and may present as asymptomatic bacteriuria. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is often under-diagnosed and may lead to long term renal complications.
Aim: This study compared the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria, bacterial isolates and their antimicrobial sensitivity in children with and without SCA seen at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital.
Subjects and Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 139 children with SCA in stable state and 139 children without SCA aged 1- 15 years. All children were tested for asymptomatic bacteriuria using clean catch or mid-stream urine samples. Children whose samples yielded significant bacteriuria (≥105cfu/ml) had a repeat urine culture within a week to confirm asymptomatic bacteriuria.
Results: Both study groups had a mean age of 4.25 years ± 3.04, and a male: female ratio of 1.4:1. The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria was higher in children with SCA(5.8%) compared to children without SCA (1.4%). Asymptomatic bacteriuria was more common among females in both study groups. The most common isolate in both groups was E. coli. Majority of the isolates were sensitive to quinolones, gentamycin and nitrofurantoin but resistant to commonly used antibiotics like amoxicillin and cotrimoxazole.
Conclusion: Asymptomatic bacteriuria is more common in children with SCA than those without SCA. Majority of isolated pathogens showed low susceptibility to ampicillin, amoxicillin, cotrimoxazole and nalidixic acid, this implies that the use of these drugs for empirical or first line treatment for UTI in children with SCA should be avoided.

Fused biometrics systems have proven to solve some problems associated with unimodal systems but also face challenges in various aspects of their implementation such as difficulty in design, user acceptance is quite low, and the performance tradeoff. This framework tends to address some of these implementation challenges by using an enhanced mayfly algorithm, a modification of the existing mayfly algorithm that was recently proposed, as feature selection. Mayfly algorithm combines advantages of particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, and firefly algorithm, simulated in different experiments using varied benchmark function on conventional mayfly algorithm all tested to be capable of optimization, but despite its capabilities, some limitations such as slow convergent or premature convergent rate and possible imbalance between exploration and exploitation still remain unresolved, which necessitated enhancement for better performance. This framework will enhance the existing mayfly algorithm by expanding the search space which limited the ability of the conventional mayfly algorithm to be used to solve high-dimensional problem spaces such as feature selection and modify the selection procedure to model the attraction process as a deterministic process, that will be used for the feature selection procedure on fused face –iris recognition system. This will increase the capabilities of the mayfly algorithm and in turn, increase the recognition accuracy, and reduced the false acceptance rate, false rejection rate, and time complexity of the fused face–iris recognition system.
