Authors: Hayatou Oumarou  , El Mansour Faouzi
Published: November 2023

Testing is the major means of verifying and validating software. It is a repetitive and time-consuming activity. Testing is neglected because of its high cost and the fact that it does not add functionality to the system. As a result, many programmers don't write tests. To remedy this, some researcher proposed automatic test generation. Test generation is a solution that reduces workload and increases productivity. In this paper, we propose a test data generation approach for unit tests in dynamically typed languages. Our approach is based on the analysis and decomposition of the AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) obtained when compiling the source code of the method under test. We validate this approach in Pharo a real system. The results on three systems show the effectiveness of the approach.

In October 2022, University of Central Florida librarians created an interactive exhibit for students to express themselves on topics related to inclusion and diversity. At the main entrance to the library, there is a long gallery wall that typically showcases artwork or informational exhibits. To create a more inclusive exhibit of students’ voices, librarians created a series of prompts, and students posted their reactions to the prompts on this wall. Librarians developing the exhibit purposely decided to reimagine the exhibit from one that tells a story about a traditional diversity topic to one that creates a positive sense of community among students. The popularity of the wall was overwhelming, with over 3,000 individual responses from students. The exhibit acted as a conversation prompt and a way for students to share their perspectives. This paper outlines the steps to creating a similar exhibit and an analysis of students’ responses.

Published: November 2023

The study aims to analyze the portrayal of teachers in the works of Ukrainian writers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The selected literary works include I. Franko's "Emerick Torchinsky", "The Education of Hrytsko", "Schon schreiben", "Father-Humorist"; B. Hrynchenko's "Exam", "Rebellious", "Brother against brother", "Stolen"; and G. Tyutyunnik's "Upon the ashes". These works condemn the use of corporal punishment, rudeness, and ignorance on the part of teachers. They also emphasize the role of teachers as bearers of knowledge, culture, and spirituality. In contemporary society, the focus is on the teacher's ability to facilitate the learning and self-improvement of students, to help develop their personalities, and instil moral ideals and spiritual values. Teachers are expected to be lifelong learners and continuously develop competencies in various areas. This includes acquiring knowledge in their subject matter, mastering pedagogical techniques, and cultivating strong interpersonal skills in order to effectively navigate relationships with their students and colleagues. (Kim & Reichmuth, 2021). Modern Ukrainian teachers need to organize themselves in a way that enables them to effectively collaborate with their students, foster engagement between educational institutions and society, and create an atmosphere of trust, transparency, and moral integrity. In order to achieve this, teachers must organize teaching and learning activities based on ethical principles and promote tolerance.

This paper presents a realistic approach to experience electrochemical principles in the context of an upper undergraduate research course where students will learn how to fabricate and calibrate a reference electrode (RE) which is an essential component of an electrochemical system. Among many commercially available REs, Ag/AgCl RE is one of the most employed REs in teaching laboratories and research. However, the REs fabrication and assembly pose technological challenges in addition to their cost especially for large quantities procurement for undergraduate laboratories. To circumvent these constraints, one alternative is to fabricate them in the lab, however, the use of harmful chemicals and complicated techniques limits their practical fabrication in teaching laboratories. Therefore, this study, devised a simple and cost-effective method for fabricating a homemade Ag/AgCl RE assembly where jello is used instead of a glass frit (referred as JRE) from recyclable and obsolete items available in common undergraduate laboratories. The as-fabricated jello RE exhibited excellent sensitivity and accuracy as compared to a commercially available BASi RE from the cyclic voltammetric (CV) studies. Subsequently, JRE showed its potential in two distinct electrochemical experiments, including potentiodynamic Tafel corrosion scans and electrochemical sensing and detection of Ascorbic Acid (AA). In addition to outstanding reproducibility, JRE demonstrated higher stability even after four months of storage in the refrigerator.

Aiming at enhancing students’ active engagement and deep learning in a large-class setting, this study introduced group projects along with peer assessment among tertiary-level students in different cohorts. Following the designated pedagogical approach and assessment criteria illustrated by the course instructor, students’ learning experiences related to project preparation and peer assessment in a compulsory course were observed for three consecutive years. Students expressed a high degree of agreement that the flexibility allowed in selecting group members and project contents promoted their interests in conducting projects on diverse environmental issues beyond the lecture materials and helped them develop teamwork and interpersonal skills. Regarding peer assessment, the observed resemblance among teacher-assessed and peer-assessed grading in most cases indicated that students could successfully develop critical evaluation skills required for the peer assessment. Moreover, students provided positive feedback on the peer assessment method and responded that this exercise triggered reflection on their own work, which could be useful for enhancing their deep learning and understanding of the subject. However, unsurprisingly, some students requested more guidance and directions given by the course instructor regarding project selection and grading criteria ahead of the peer assessment. It is also interesting to note that students’ comments varied regarding the weighted fractions of project marks allocated to the teacher (50%) and peer (50%). Some students underscored that the teacher’s grading should have a higher weighting than those of peer students, which may improve the fairness in marking. These various comments could assist us to better implement peer assessment in other courses. In all, given the students' positive learning attitudes and improved evaluation skills, peer assessment of group projects can be considered as a comprehensive approach for engaging students in deep learning experiences and higher-level understanding of broader knowledge.

The phylogeography of intertidal invertebrates in the northwestern Indian Ocean is poorly known due to difficulties in crossing diverse political regions for sampling. This study, based on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and nuclear sodium-potassium ATPase alpha-subunit (NaK) sequences, is the first assessment of the phylogeography of the intertidal barnacle Chthamalus barnesi in the Indian Ocean and includes all peripheral seas of the northwestern region. Our phylogenetic analyses defined 1 monophyletic clade, suggesting that C. barnesi does not comprise any cryptic species. Phylogeographic analyses showed no clear differentiation among populations of C. barnesi, except in the Red Sea. This isolated population apparently did not leave the Red Sea during post-Pleistocene glaciation. High ΦST values between the Red Sea and other populations is further indication of isolation. Low values of ΦST among the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and the northeastern Arabian Sea indicate gene flow among these populations. Analysis of molecular variance revealed no significant genetic differentiation among these 3 areas. Phylogeographic analyses suggested that there may be 2 major populations (Red Sea and northwestern Indian Ocean) of C. barnesi in the Indian Ocean resulting from interactions between the Pleistocene glaciation and present-day ocean currents. Among these populations, the Persian Gulf seems to have a higher probability of being the ancestral population. After the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf has the highest genetic diversity of the cox1 gene. This evidence suggests that the Arabian Sea population may have originated from the expansion of the Persian Gulf population after the Pleistocene glaciation.
Merengkuh Kesemestaan

Buku La grâce du végétal menampilkan penalaran teologis yang unik dan segar mengenai divine economy. Dunia tumbuhan atau vegetasi adalah rahmat tidak hanya untuk diri mereka sendiri, tetapi juga untuk makluk lain, termasuk untuk manusia dalam sebuah relasi. Dalam krisis ekologis, semakin disadari bahwa tumbuh-tumbuhan adalah “penyedia kehidupan” (provider of life). Tumbuhan itu memersepsikan, merasakan dan mengomunikasikan … di luar penampakan mereka yang tampaknya bisu. Kita hidup bersama pepohonan dalam sebuah relasi yang ditandai oleh resonansi dan ketergantungan. Schaefer menawarkan sebuah konsep “reciprocite significative”, yakni hubungan timbal-balik yang penting untuk kedua belah pihak karena manusia juga memelihara dirinya sendiri ketika manusia memelihara pepohonan. Kalau logika ini diteruskan, mungkin mengarah pada kesimpulan besar seperti ini: segala sesuatu itu menjadi rahmat untuk yang lain. Barangkali, ada unsur kebetulan ketika saya melihat buku itu terpampang di rak yang sangat kelihatan. Namun demikian, di luar minat dan unsur kebetulan ini, mungkin topik ini juga mewakili gerakan pemikiran dalam bidang teologi dan pemikiran agama yang lebih luas, yang tidak hanya semakin inklusif tetapi juga “universal”, dalam arti: merengkuh kesemestaan (the universe). Pemikiran ini jelas menambah luas gerak inklusif teologi dan pemikiran keagamaan yang sudah meretas batas geografis dan kawasan (theology without border) atau batas-batas denominasi (oikumenis) dan batas agama (interreligius).
