“I Understand That I Will Never Understand”: White Ignorance, Anti-Racism, and the Right to Opacity
Authors: Ewara Eyo
Published: July 2024

This article offers a philosophical exploration of, and critical engagement with, the antiracist slogan “I understand that I will never understand. However, I stand.” Drawing on Charles Mills’s discussions of white ignorance and Édouard Glissant’s conception of the “right to opacity,” it first offers several interpretations and philosophical reconstructions of the claim that white allies “understand that they will never understand,” reading this as potentially articulating either an epistemic failure or a kind of ethical self-limitation. It then draws on the work of Saidiya Hartman to offer a caution about the affirmation and naturalization of this delimited understanding as its ambiguity threatens to reinvoke and re-entrench certain racist conceptions already present within an antiblack context.
The Colonial Contract and the Coloniality Of Gender: Decolonial Feminist Reflections on Charles Mills’s Racia-Sexual Contract
Authors: Velez Emma D.
Published: July 2024

The social uprisings in the United States during the summer of 2020 renewed public discussion of forms of domination embedded into the social contracts of Western democracies. These discussions echo insights from within political philosophy regarding the domination contract. Despite numerous attempts to shed light on myriad aspects of the domination contract, an analysis of the role of colonialism and coloniality has yet to be sufficiently engaged by political philosophers, particularly within social contract theory. Drawing on the frameworks of intersectionality and decolonial feminism, this article examines the interweavings between two prominent domination contracts, the racia-sexual contract and the colonial contract, to better account for the systematic exclusion of Black, Indigenous, and other women of color (BIWOC) from liberal social contracts that are foundationally predicated on forms of gendered, racialized, colonial domination.
Oralidad disruptiva en Metinides
Authors: Gutiérrez Cham Gerardo
Published: July 2024

En este ensayo me propongo mostrar la importancia de la oralidad disruptiva en las fotografías de Enrique Metinides, fundador de la fotografía moderna de nota roja, durante los años treinta en México. El objetivo central es reflexionar sobre la instauración  implicada en los “mirones”, como él mismo llamaba a la gente que buscaba acercarse al epicentro de un accidente vial, un incidente policiaco, una explosión, o cualquier catástrofe ocurrida en Ciudad de México, durante la década del setenta. La metodología proviene de teorías sociopragmáticas del rumor. Entre los resultados más relevantes destaco los siguientes: a) desde una perspectiva oral, las fotos de Metinides capturan anidaciones espontáneas de rumores descontrolados y b) la oralidad en las fotografías de Metinides se produce bajo el signo de lo torcido, la depredación visual y el molino infinito de la curiosidad.

Technology is currently needed in all fields, especially in the education sector. Technology in education can be used for all kinds of activities, one of them is teaching and learning. On this situation, technology can be used to build interactive learning media, which must also be paired with an attractive user interface. Therefore, it can give a new impression to students and increase their enthusiasm for learning. In building learning media with an attractive user interface, supporting software can be used, such as Adobe Flash and Canva since this learning media requires attractive images, colors and animations to eliminate students' feelings of boredom. The school as the destination for this thesis research is SMP Negeri Satu Atap 2 Tungkal Ulu which still used a learning method that could be said to be monotonous, sometimes they still used a system where students only listened and took notes without any other activities. This situation made students tend to be easy getting bored. One interesting subject for learning is English, with material taken is narrative text and storytelling. This learning media contains a menu of instructions, materials, discussion videos, quizzes and evaluations, assisted by a good user interface. The development of this learning media turned out to be able to help raising students' enthusiasm, as evidenced by the questionnaire that was carried out which gave a result of 72.3% and was included in the satisfactory category.

Published: July 2024

The investigation explored the influence of socioeconomic status of parents regarding the academic successes of math students in chosen secondary schools located in the Ado LGAof Ekiti State. The study encompassed both public and private educational institutions, employing a straightforward random sampling technique to select five secondary schools and sixty students. Information was gathered via a self-designed questionnaire with distinct sections A and B, concentrating on demographic details and parental elements such as education level, family background, income, and occupational status in relation to students' performance in Mathematics. The instrument underwent face and content validity procedures, and the results were assessed using Pearson correlation coefficient, yielding a value of 0.85. Hypotheses were evaluated through Chi-square analysis, and data were presented using pie charts and tables. The outcomes unveiled a significant influence of parent’ educational background, family background, occupation, and income level on the academic success of mathematics students. The researcher recommends the implementation of financial assistance programs for families with lower incomes to ensure equitable access to quality mathematics resources. Moreover, schools are encouraged to establish initiatives and parental engagement programs, fostering an inclusive and equitable learning environment. The study advocates for policy changes to promote fairness in mathematics education for students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
Evaluation of Effective Interfacial Area in a Rotating Packed Bed Equipped with Dual Gas Inlets
Authors: Garba Usman , Rouzineau David , Meyer Michel
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the effective interfacial area in a novel rotating packed bed (RPB) equipped with dual gas inlets instead of the conventional single-gas-inlet RPB. The aim is to enhance the mass transfer efficiency of gas-liquid contacting processes in RPBs by increasing the number of gas inlets to improve the spread of gas supply into the packing. The RPB is a promising gas-liquid contactor configuration known for its intensified mass transfer characteristics. However, the impact of additional gas inlets on the effective interfacial area of the packing remains unexplored. An experimental method assessed the interfacial area under varying operational conditions which include a liquid flow rate of 0.30-0.60 m3/h, a gas flow rate of 100-300 Nm3/h, and a rotation speed of 600-1000 rpm. At operating conditions covering the maximum rotation speed of 1400 rpm, gas flow and liquid flow rates of 300 Nm3/h and 0.60 m3/h respectively, the results showed that on average, 55 to 97% of the 2400m2/m3 specific packing area can be effectively utilized for gas-liquid mass transfer during separation operations using the RPB. Compared to results reported for single-gas-inlet RPBs using similar packings, the RPB with double gas inlet proved to provide higher utilization of the packing. By simply doubling the number of gas inlets, the findings provide valuable insights into optimizing RPB designs and operations which could enhance mass transfer efficiency for various chemical and environmental applications.
Unlocking the Potential of Palm Kernel Shell and Quarry Dust: A Cost-Driven Approach to Replacing Sand and Gravel in Concrete
Authors: Maikano Hassan Abdullahi , Akanbi Toyin Yahaya
Published: July 2024

This research investigates the potential of palm kernel shells (PKS) and quarry dust (QD) as sustainable and cost-effective replacements for sand and gravel in concrete production. The study explores the impact of varying PKS and QD content on workability, density, water absorption, and mechanical properties. While increasing these alternative aggregates decreases workability and density, it improves water absorption and, in some cases, mechanical strength. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) identified a combination of 5% PKS and 20% QD (-1, -1) as the optimal replacement level for achieving a balance between cost and performance. This mix offers a significant cost reduction of 18.2% relative to concrete made with conventional aggregates. The study highlights the potential of PKS and QD as sustainable alternatives for conventional aggregates. Utilizing these readily available waste materials can reduce reliance on natural resources, promote waste management practices, and contribute to a more environmentally friendly construction industry. Additionally, the research suggests that quarry dust alone might be a more suitable replacement material than PKS due to its superior influence on concrete strength. This research provides valuable insights for optimizing concrete mix design with PKS and QD, promoting cost-effective and sustainable construction practices in regions with abundant palm oil production and quarrying activities.

Authors: Dacalanio Mark Aaron A. , Cani Shine M. , Osiba Grachelle T. , Syting Christian Jay O.
Published: July 2024

This socio-pragmatic study aimed to unearth the impolite triggers and strategies used in students' complaints extracted from 100 online student complaints. Using Culpeper's Impoliteness Theory (1996, 2011, 2016), the study identified various impoliteness triggers, namely conventionalized and non-conventionalized impoliteness triggers. The former includes pointed criticisms,  condescension, insults, unpalatable questions, dismissals, message enforcers, threats, silencers, negative expressives, redundant patterning, and fighting words. On the other hand, the latter involves non-conventionalized impoliteness triggers, which involve form-driven and bald-on-record impoliteness, red herrings, convention-driven impoliteness, rhetorical questions, and inflammatory expressions. In terms of impoliteness strategies, the study found the use of bald-on-record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, and sarcasm or mock impoliteness, with withhold impoliteness not observed in the online context. Understanding the linguistic patterns of impolite complaints in online contexts can help formulate strategies to mitigate conflict and promote more constructive interaction among students. This study may provide valuable insights for improving digital discourse and social interaction protocols.
Nitrofurantoin susceptibility profile versus other antibiotics tested in uropathogens- a retrospective study from India
Authors: Gupta Anuja , Sharma Bhawna
Published: July 2024

Introduction. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections encountered by clinicians worldwide. The emergence of multidrug-resistant uropathogens necessitates a review of their susceptibility profiles. This study aims to assess the susceptibility trends of uropathogens to a panel of drugs, with special emphasis on Nitrofurantoin (NFT). Methods. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 2,099 mid-stream clean catch urine samples processed by standard microbiological methods. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines (2019) were followed. Statistical analysis was performed. Results. Out of all samples, 212 were culture positive. Escherichia coli (34.9%) and Enterococcus spp. (15.1%) were the most common Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms, respectively. Gram-negative isolates were most susceptible to Colistin (97.38%), followed by NFT (69.35%). Gram-positive uropathogens were most sensitive to Linezolid (100%), followed by Vancomycin and NFT, each with 92.45% susceptibility. Conclusion. The increase in antibiotic resistance among various uropathogens underscores the need for surveillance data to inform the appropriate selection of antibiotics. Our study highlights that, among the panel of antibiotics tested, NFT appears to be a viable alternative for treating multidrug-resistant uropathogens.

A New Historicist Perspective on The Question of Faith in W. Collins’ The Woman in White and E. B. Browning’s Aurora Leigh
Authors: Albaqawi Nasser M.
Published: July 2024

The relationship between fiction and ideology is a crucial issue to many critical schools and theoretical approaches. Such an issue has been flowing smoothly across historical periods and influencing various social, historical, and cultural aspects. The Victorian era is one of these stages, and Victorian literature has played a significant role in determining the nature of such a relationship in the subsequent generations in England. Departing from the New Historicist theoretical framework, this study examines the views of two Victorian masterpieces, namely, W. Collins’ The Woman in White and E. B. Browning’s Aurora Leigh as both texts and contexts. Both are influenced by and influential in their circumstances. The subjectivities of the two authors are changed, and they are, at the same time, agents of change within their sociohistorical spheres. These literary works cannot be considered as only products of their times; they are also major players in creating new pathways for the development of people and culture. The conventional views of religion are questioned, and several inherent rules are constantly replaced by others. Although W. Collins and E. B. Browning explicitly voice their full adherence to religious beliefs and principles, skepticism becomes strongly expressed in some of their literary works while institutional faiths and their status are called into question in certain ways.
The Self Question in Woolf and Deshpande Women: Gender Performances Through the Lens of Goffman’s Dramaturgy
Authors: A Savier Mut Jabraj , G Christopher
Published: July 2024

Amidst the dilemma on switching gender roles in a conservative society, the experiences of women as a gender in collective has always been the ‘other’ irrespective of the socio- cultural differences. Even varying in degrees of experiencing the 'otherness', the expectation persists in accepting the otherness as gender roles and gendered responsibilities. The choosen works decodes the ties which bind women to their gender roles and dilemmas in deviating from those to commit to their individual self. The study employs a close analysis of examining the experiences of the female characters and their gender performances. The investigation extends to the application of Goffman's Dramaturgy over the characters' performances of gendered social roles. In conclusion, the article tests the idea of confining women in their gender roles for the benefit of the society by screening them from committing to their individual self as portrayed in Mrs. Dalloway and That Long Silence.
The Animal Other: Revisiting Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story’s Jerry and Peter from a Postcolonial Lens
Authors: Çalışkan Dilek Ünügür
Published: July 2024

This paper delves into the intricate layers of Edward Albee's The Zoo Story (1958), with Jerry embodying the other and Peter representing the self. The focus is on the rich and complex postcolonial issues of hybrid identity, land, art, and otherness. The fixed identities of Jerry and Peter serve as a lens to understand the dynamics between the self and the other, where every other is shaped by the conquering culture while rejecting its ability to define it. Otherness is a complex and multifaceted concept involving discourse and the dominant group's norms and ideals. To maintain their feeling of superiority, Westerners stigmatized groups such as Others, Barbarians, Savages, and People of Color throughout the colonial era. The conflict is perpetuated through stereotyped ideals and spatial structure. The paper employs the Manichean allegory, the fragmented family metaphor, and the Native American trickster figure to delve into otherness and becoming an animal in the Third Space, Central Park, a unique blend of wilderness and modern life. The sudden appearance of the trickster Jerry in the northern part of the park, leading to a fatal fight for the bench, will expose invisible crimes rooted in animality, sexuality, and criminality discourses of identity-making. Albee's narrative will bring Editor Peter to the shaman's path through tribal storytelling and murder, a powerful tool for promoting sensation for diversity in media, forcing Peter to confront his other and self as the colonizer, colonized, and the animal via the face of the dying animal, Jerry, impossible to deface.
Timescapes when everything happens all at once
Authors: Feldman Jennifer , Czerniewicz Laura
Published: July 2024

This paper focuses on aspects of time and educators’ timescapes during the Covid-19 pandemic. It contributes to a larger discussion about changing discourses and practices of temporality both during and after a crisis, especially those enabled by technology and neoliberal contexts. Situated within the unequal and diverse South African landscape where the pandemic overturned traditional educational timescapes, the paper explores the experiences of educators from different education settings - rural, urban, school, higher education and provincial education departments and considers three interrelated questions: What did educators' timescapes look like during the crisis of the pandemic? What was the role of technology in changing educators’ timescapes? How were educational inequities manifest in the timescapes which emerged? To analyse the educators’ experiences of time, teaching with technology and networked learning during the pandemic, the paper draws on Adam’s (1998, 2004, 2021) theorisation of time. Adam argues that time is relational and composed of irreducible elements that are not always easily visible. Experiences of how time is represented or visualised include temporality, tempo and timing, as well as the past, present and future. None of the elements of time operate in isolation; they mutually implicate one another highlighting the ways in which we perceive and interpret time in our lives and the world around us. The paper discussion highlights the use of technology and networked learning linked to pedagogical changed routines and organisation that made educators readily available to their students when face-to-face interaction was not possible. While this was beneficial to students (and parents), this resulted in a blurring or conflation of educators’ work and personal lives. Educators describe experiencing time and space as scrambled, compressed and/or porous, having to negotiate new rhythms and patterns of work that require reorganising and managing their lives differently. In addition, educators reported experiencing an intensification of time and work during this period, as they struggled with the pace and tempo of teaching and learning in varied education contexts. In conclusion, the paper suggests that the unique historical circumstances of the pandemic created particular conditions for online learning with some of the technologies rapidly inserted into the education system during this period remaining uncritically in place, further highlighting the need for ongoing research in areas of time, technology and networked learning, especially in diverse and varied educational settings.
Intergenerational and informal learning in communities
Authors: Flynn Sandra
Published: July 2024

Digital Drop-In is a pilot project that aims to provide an informal social environment where older adults can come together to enhance their digital skills through facilitated informal peer and intergenerational learning (IGL). This qualitative study explores the digital skills assistance provided by a small sample of secondary school students aged 15 to16 years to older adult participants in a series of pilot workshops in a secondary school in Ireland during Autumn 2023. Feedback solicited from participants following completion of the workshops yielded the following preliminary observations. First, from the perspectives of the students, all of whom had volunteered for the project, agreement that the learning experience was successful and that their motivation for volunteering was worthwhile. Second, from the perspective of the older adult participants, there was value in the personalised nature of the one-to-one learner-led exchanges by contrast with instructor-led offerings. Finally, from the perspective of the facilitator, guiding learner-led exchanges in informal social environments requires flexibility to meet the needs of individual learners. In Spring 2024, data are planned to be collected from both generations through an online survey instrument and generational focus groups.When complete, this study will contribute to the field of intergenerational research by exploring the perspectives of mid-teenagers involved in an intergenerational exchange to support the digital skills of older adult community members in Ireland. It has potential to offer a contribution to the field of informal peer learning by proposing the role of a facilitator to guide and support the digital skills knowledge exchange in informal social settings.
Exploring Hybrid Learning Formats in a Nordic Master’s Programme in Visual Studies and Art Education
Authors: Buhl Mie , Hvid Bech Dille Maria , Hautopp Heidi , Tervo Juuso
Published: July 2024

This paper reports from a project in progress that aims to develop a hybrid learning format that is sufficiently flexible to accommodate collaborative situations between students and teachers on two campuses and in collaborative situations off-campus. The project explores a current co-teaching opportunity that AAU and Aalto University are facing due to the start-up of the new Nordic joint degree master's program Visual Studies and Art Education (NM NoVA). A new physical space has been established at the AAU Copenhagen campus, that digitally facilitates a video-mediated, synchronous learning environment and a similar facilitation is accessible at Aalto University. Teachers and researchers join into a collaboration and conduct the project drawing theoretical knowledge generated in the field of synchronous learning formats and from research in the particular subject related field of digital technology and visual arts education. Furthermore, the project uses the participants’ practical experience from engaging in different synchronous learning formats shared and informed by discussions with peers. Inspired by Design-Based Research (DBR), researchers actively engage in the problem analysis, design, implementation, and analysis of the hybrid learning format. Rich descriptions of the program's evolution are obtained through participant observations, interviews, and a "photo-safari" capturing interactions among students, teachers, and technology.Analytically, the study explores the hybrid format as an enactment of space beyond geographical constraints, drawing inspiration from the concept of "apparatus" within new materialism. Three analytical themes emerge: knowledge-building practices, community-building practices, and longitudinal aspects, providing insights into how the hybrid format impacts collaboration, engagement, and the evolution of educational spaces. Preliminary findings reveal the diverse orientations and pedagogical discussions that emerge within these hybrid spaces, challenging the traditional notion of a "third space" and paving the way for new conceptualisations. The project anticipates further exploration of interdependencies within third spaces and the dynamics of student and teacher bodies within this evolving educational landscape.
Networked Leadership Roles for School Leaders' Work with Schools' Digitalization
Authors: Reis-Andersson Jussara , Gunnars Fabian
Published: July 2024

School leaders are responsible for creating the right conditions for schools and, through dialogue, understanding schools' needs and prerequisites, distributing resources, and following up on the schools' development. School leaders are also important for supporting schools in realizing a top-down policy. One example of such policy is the digitalization policy aimed at implementing digital technologies in teaching, where strong school leaders is necessary. Thus, leadership is a crucial ingredient for a good digitalization process in schools. However, there is little written about school leaders' practice. Further, school leaders' practice may contain more networked leadership despite the fact that they often assumed a top-down leadership role, which would be especially clear when viewed through a networked learning perspective. Further, different countries have different school systems where the school leaders may be referred to by different names in their roles for supporting the schools.A common area in need of support is the digitalization of schools. Students may not get the skills they need in the future as challenges to ensure the advancement is enacted continue to broaden. Thus, it may be interesting to delve deeper into the structures of countries that may differ in general structure for school systems. In conjunction with a networked collaboration between the University of Brazil and Mid Sweden University, connections between the school systems in both countries will be made in this paper to distinguish parts of their leadership strategy for the digitalization of schools. Leadership within schools is closely connected to the pedagogical implementation of technologies. In one dimension of school leadership related to digitalization, there exists a notable aspect known as the networked dimension, which is intricately linked to assessment policies and roles associated with ICT. Given the assumption for the networked dimension, this paper is written for two primary purposes. The first purpose is to investigate the networked leadership dimension according to various leadership roles for school leaders' digitalization work. The second purpose is to prepare a comparative study of the school systems of Brazil and Sweden by reviewing literature that analyses these regions.Thus, in this short paper, we assume that school leaders' practice when compared across two countries different in size from a networked leadership perspective may comprise a research gap, indicating the relevancy of a literature review investigation of this gap.
Redefining Student Learning Identities
Authors: Role Sharon
Published: July 2024

This paper presents a focused examination of a practitioner research case study, honing in on twelve college students in a class of thirty-seven, enrolled in a chemistry course within a blended learning framework. Over the course of two years, the research aimed to delve deeply into the impact of networked learning experiences on the learning identities of these students. Through meticulous exploration using in-depth interviews, significant positive transformations in the learning identities of these twelve students were unearthed. The research question guiding this work was to understand how the blended learning approach, which included an online networked learning component supplementing face-to-face learning, brought about a change in student learning. The study investigated the impact of online participation on the learning identities of the students and how, in turn, the class was generally affected by the transformation of student identities. By examining the interplay between online and face-to-face learning modalities, this research sheds light on the complex dynamics shaping the learning experiences and identities of college students in blended learning environments. Distinctly, the investigation identified two main components of the student learning identity. These are the academic and positional sub-identities. The academic identity transformation was particularly noteworthy, revealing an emergent sense of control, agency, empowerment, and competence as a result of the students embracing online collaborative learning. Simultaneously, the research brought to light changes in the positional identity, encompassing persona-related, acted, and relational identities. The interplay of these identities within the class fostered a profound sense of belonging, of being valued, and connectedness among the students, extending its influence into the face-to-face learning contexts.The findings emphasize that networked learning collaborative skills not only enhance traditional educational practices but also play a key role in effecting positive changes in students' learning identities. The integration of online collaborative learning within traditional educational settings emerged as a catalyst for fundamental transformations in how students perceive and engage with their learning processes. The research contributes to knowledge on the impact of digital pedagogies on learning identities and suggests that educators can use online collaborative learning experiences to cultivate a more profound impact on students' learning identities and engagement, thereby enriching both theory and practice in education. It offers valuable insights on fostering dynamic and empowered learning environments to educators.

Using the DigCompEdu Framework to analyse your institution’s support for teachers’ digital competencies development
Authors: Pedersen Annette Q
Published: July 2024

Everyone agrees that teachers at all levels need to develop their digital competencies – but both the institution and the individual teachers need to take on this task – so this session asks: What can institutions do to take on some of the responsibility? Strategic goal setting is nice and helpful, but how can teaching and learning units, system owners and others improve the resources and help they provide to teachers to support digital competencies development?
The University of Copenhagen have used the European framework DigCompEdu to analyse and evaluate how the university as an institution can better support the competence development needs of individual teachers. The purpose of this exercise was to avoid competence development becoming an individualized problem for the teacher.
The participants have a choice in the workshop's hands-on part:Hands-on A: Plan an analysis of your own institution using the CUTE Canvas.Hands-on B: Analyse your own institution.
This workshop is based on the work carried out in the ERASMUS+: Strategic Partnership CUTE (KA203-867FE04B) (2019-2022) and the CUTIE project (2022-2024)

Een aanzienlijk deel van de Nederlandse jeugdigen (kinderen en jongeren tussen 2 en 18 jaar) met ADHD krijgt niet de behandelingen die ze volgens richtlijnen zouden moeten krijgen. Dit zou kunnen betekenen dat informatie over welke interventies wel en niet effectief zijn, niet goed bij professionals terechtkomt. In dit artikel geven wij daarom beknopte informatie over effectieve interventies voor jeugdigen met ADHD. We geven daarnaast een overzicht van verschillende producten die we hebben ontwikkeld in het kader van een project dat als doel had om kennis over effectieve interventies te verspreiden. Deze producten zijn bijvoorbeeld webinars, factsheets, video’s en PowerPoint-presentaties.
Colour terms and intensifying constructions in Italian
Authors: Piunno Valentina
Published: July 2024

This investigation proposes a corpus-based description of Italian intensifying constructions including colour terms. Colour terms may be employed as intensification markers in intensifying colour constructions, i.e., ready-made syntactic patterns containing colour terms that have an intensifying function. The paper aims at identifying and classifying different patterns of Italian intensifying colour constructions using syntactic/semantic parameters. These constructions can convey different types and degrees of intensified meanings and can be arranged along an intensification cline. Taking into account data gathered from the ITTenTen16 corpus, the analysis identifies the abstract semantic schemata underlying intensifying colour constructions (e.g., the metonymic/metaphoric scale association), and explores the relation between colour terms and schemata, in terms of degrees of lexicalisation/constructionalisation and pattern productivity.

Kandidemi özellikle yoğun bakım hastalarında daha sık görülen, mortalite ile sonuçlanabilen önemli bir klinik tablodur. Bu çalışmamızda, kan kültürlerinden izole edilen Candida izolatlarının tanımlanması, antifungal duyarlılıklarının ve bu antifungallere ait MİK değerlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ocak 2022-Ocak 2024 tarihleri arasında Tıbbi Mikrobiyoloji Laboratuvarı’na gönderilen kan kültürleri geriye dönük olarak incelenmiştir. Kan kültürlerinden elde edilen Candida izolatlarının tür tanımlamasında BD Phoenix M50 (Becton Dickinson, ABD) otomatize sistemi kullanılmıştır. Antifungallerin MİK değerlerinin belirlenmesinde MICRONAUT-AM (Bruker, ABD) sıvı mikrodilüsyon testi kullanılmıştır. İzolatların antifungal duyarlılık kategorileri EUCAST standartlarına göre değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmaya belirtilen tarihler arasında kan kültürlerinden izole edilen toplam 96 tane Candida dahil edilmiştir. En sık saptanan tür Candida albicans (%46.9) olmuştur. Kandidemi olgularının büyük çoğunluğunun 65 yaş üstü hastalar (%59.3) olduğu ve %92.7’sinin yoğun bakım ünitesi (YBÜ) hastası olduğu görülmüştür. Antifungal duyarlılık testleri sonucunda bütün izolatlar amfoterisin B’ye duyarlı bulunmuştur. Candida türleri arasında antifungallere en yüksek duyarlılık oranları Candida parapsilosis’te görülmüştür. En düşük MİK değerleri mikafunginde ve en yüksek MİK değerleri flukonazolde tespit edilmiştir. Kan kültüründe Candida üremesi YBÜ hastaları ve ileri yaş hastalarda belirgin bir şekilde daha sık görülmüştür. Özellikle YBÜ hastaları ve ileri yaş grubundaki hastalar kandidemi yönünden daha dikkatli takip edilmelidir. İzole edilen Candida’ların antifungal duyarlılıklarının tür düzeyinde farklılık gösterdiği görülmüştür. Candida’ların tür düzeyinde tanımlanması ve yapılan antifungal duyarlılık çalışmaları, ampirik ve terapötik tedavi süreçlerinin doğru ve etkili yönetilmesi açısından oldukça önemlidir.

Academic Integrity across the Canadian Landscape
Authors: McKenzie Amanda M
Published: July 2024

In the early 1990s, educators concerned about academic integrity (AI) in the United States began to collaborate on issues in this area and later established the Center for Academic Integrity, now known as the International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI). In recent years, ICAI Canada, an offshoot of the ICAI, was created to nurture AI best practices across the nation. This article details the development of the Canadian branch of the ICAI and examines what AI looks like across Canada. In summary, future directions at these levels are examined as well as ways to further promote AI in Canada.
Learn by Doing: An Academic Integrity Policy Revision
Authors: Seeland Josh , Munn Caitlin
Published: July 2024

After several years of developing a culture of academic integrity at Assiniboine Community College, over twenty stakeholders from five college campuses and a dozen different service areas and academic programs formed the Academic Integrity Advisory Committee (AIAC) in late 2019. In the midst of a push through emergency remote learning, and towards blended learning ahead, they undertook a multi-stage plan: to develop, implement, and evaluate a revised academic integrity policy. Using research and evidence from the world’s foremost sources to inform their work, the AIAC embodied Assiniboine’s academic signature of learn by doing.
Join members of the AIAC for a detailed look at the ins and outs of this policy revision process. Participants will leave this session with an understanding of several key academic integrity frameworks, how to implement a change model at their own institution, and a deeper understanding of how to collaboratively develop an academic integrity policy.
Encouraging Academic Integrity Through a Preventative Framework
Authors: Kalra Jessica , Vogel Vicki
Published: July 2024

Through a collaboration between the Teaching and Curriculum Development Centre (TCDC), the Centre for Intercultural Engagement (CIE) and the Academic Integrity and Student Conduct Office, Langara has developed an open access toolkit for educators called “Encouraging Academic Integrity Through a Preventative Framework”. The impetus for developing a toolkit focused on encouraging academic integrity came from increasing requests for support in addressing the challenges of academic misconduct at our institution. This toolkit was developed to provide instructors with methods and examples of activities and assessments that can help students meet academic standards and expectations. This document is divided into four parts: we start with an exploration of the principles of academic integrity as defined by the International Centre for Academic Integrity, and then move on to examine the complexity in expression and perception of academic integrity using a model we call the complexity quadrant. With this model in mind, we discuss strategies for fostering integrity and preventing contraventions of academic integrity standards through the use of different assessment design practices. 
We propose to present the sections of the toolkit, focusing on the complexity quadrant, using an interactive discussion approach. By the end of the presentation, participants will be able to:

Use the complexity quadrant to reframe conversations around academic integrity
Describe assessment design practices that encourage academic integrity

The e-book is available for free through BC Campus Pressbooks Open Education Resources.
Temperature Measurement Of Thermochromic Liquid Crystal Particles Through An Array Of 90 Mirrors
Authors: Sakakibara Jun , Nagai Hayato
Published: July 2024

This study introduces a new method for enhancing the accuracy of temperature measurements using thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC) particles. Traditionally, temperature has been determined by averaging the hue values from multiple TLC particles. Our approach, however, employs a single-camera setup combined with a mirror array to image particles from various angles simultaneously. Experimental results demonstrate a notable expansion in the measurable temperature range and a decrease in random error compared to traditional methods. Specifically, our technique extends the temperature range by 1.7 times and reduces the standard deviation of measurements by 75%.
Assimilating Sparse 3D-PTV Data Of A Pulsed Jet Using Physics-Informed Neural Networks
Authors: Steinfurth Ben , Hassanein Abdelrahman , Doan Anh Khoa , Scarano Fulvio
Published: July 2024

Phase-resolved volumetric velocity measurements of a pulsed jet are conducted by means of three-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry (PTV). The resulting scattered and relatively sparse data are densely reconstructed by adopting physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), here regularized by the Navier-Stokes equations. It is shown that the assimilation yields a higher spatial resolution, and the process remains robust, even at low particle densities ( 𝑝𝑝𝑝 < 0.001). This is achieved by enforcing compliance with the governing equations, thus leveraging the spatiotemporal evolution of the measured flow field. The results indicate that the PINN reconstructs unambiguously velocity, vorticity and pressure fields with a level of detail not attainable with conventional methods (binning) or more advanced data assimilation techniques (vortex-in-cell). The results of this article support the findings of Clark di Leoni (2023) suggesting that the PINN methodology is inherently suited to the assimilation of PTV data, in particular under conditions of severe sparsity or during experiments with limited control of seeding concentration.
