Authors: Carr Monica E. , Davis Ernest Kofi , Seah Wee Tiong
Published: August 2023

A total of 1,256 students selected through stratified random sampling from 18 primary and public secondary schools as a fair sample across urban and rural settings in the Cape Coast Metropolis of Ghana responded to the ‘what I find important (in my mathematics learning)’ questionnaire. Section A contained 64 Likert type questions, and section B contained 10 continua dimension questions in which respondents provided weighted responses on their valuing in relation to learning mathematics, using a slider scale. In this paper, section B was visually analyzed in MS Excel, using the radar chart function to explore the evolution of values in mathematics across school levels. Findings suggested that the students’ values in mathematics evolve as they progress through school, shifting from learning content to learning environment to learning approaches.

Authors: Edy Syifaurrohmah Kusuma , Nindiasari Hepsi
Published: August 2023

In the 21st century learning must be integrated with various technological devices in the entire process, this also supports the industrial revolution 4.0 program. The TPACK approach is the answer to these demands, where learning is based on knowledge of teaching materials (content knowledge), how to teach material (pedagogical knowledge), and knowledge of how to use technology (technological knowledge). One example of the application of technology in learning is the Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (moodle), at the research site, namely SMAN 8 Serang City, there is a moodle-based learning studio website. The sample of this study were students of class X at SMAN 8 Kota Serang. The research method used in this study was quantitative pre-experimental design, with a one-group pretest-posttest research design. The results of the study showed that there was an increase in the learning outcomes of students who had studied using the moodle sanggar belajar by 52.3%. The n-gain score obtained was 61.62% which was categorized as "effective enough", which means that learning achieves learning objectives with proven significant mathematics learning outcomes.
Application of Vegetation Indices for Detection and Monitoring Oil Spills in Ahoada West Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria
Authors: Lisa Erebi Jonathan , E. Davidson Egirani
Published: August 2023

The study evaluated the environmental effects of an oil spill in Joinkrama 4 and Akimima Ahoada West LGA, Rivers State, Nigeria, using various vegetation indices. Location data for the spill were obtained from the Nigeria Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, and Landsat imagery was acquired from the United States Geological Survey. Three soil samples were collected from the affected area, and their analysis included measuring total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), total hydrocarbons (THC), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The obtained data were processed with ArcGIS software, utilizing different vegetation indices such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Atmospheric Resistant Vegetation Index (ARVI), Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), Green Short Wave Infrared (GSWIR), and Green Near Infrared (GNIR). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. The results consistently indicated a negative impact on the environment resulting from the oil spill. A comparison of spectral reflectance values between the oil spill site and the non-oil spill site showed lower values at the oil spill site across all vegetation indices (NDVI 0.0665-0.2622, ARVI –0.0495-0.1268, SAVI 0.0333-0.1311, GSWIR –0.183-0.0517, GNIR –0.0104-–0.1980), indicating damage to vegetation. Additionally, the study examined the correlation between vegetation indices and environmental parameters associated with the oil spill, revealing significant relationships with TPH, THC, and PAH. A t-test with a significance level of p < 0.05 indicated significantly higher vegetation index values at the non-oil spill site compared to the oil spill site, suggesting a potential disparity in vegetation health between the two areas. Hence, this study emphasizes the harmful effect of oil spills on vegetation and highlights the importance of utilizing vegetation indices and spectral reflectance analysis to detect and monitor the impact of oil spills on vegetation.

The (In)Consistency of Teacher Survey Responses About Teacher Evaluation Implementation: Implications for Principal Professional Development
Authors: Hunter Seth B.
Published: August 2023

Principals can affect several consequential schooling processes and outcomes. However, their effectiveness varies substantially and is distributed across schools inequitably, underscoring the importance of effective principal professional development (PPD), which begins by using needs assessments to inform PPD content. A researcher-practitioner partnership assessed principal needs via monthly teacher surveys about specific teacher evaluation skills. While internal consistencies were high, test-rest reliabilities were low, implying that reports regarding the quality of specific principal practices may fluctuate substantially over short periods, potentially hampering the design of effective PPD.
Walking a Tightrope: Navigating Principal-Agent Dilemmas in Research-Practice Partnerships
Authors: Duff Megan , Glazer Joshua L. , Shirrell Matthew , Freed Dryw
Published: August 2023

Although research alliances (RAs) have long been seen as mutualistic and reciprocal, RAs face numerous obstacles navigating stakeholders’ differing goals, incentives, and information. This longitudinal, comparative case study of two RAs uses principal-agent theory to analyze these interdependent challenges and their relationship to RA strategy and design. Findings suggest that while some RAs may be better designed to balance the competing interests of various stakeholders, increasingly contested definitions of RA effectiveness among those stakeholders have muddled RA identities. As a result, RA researchers are now often held to expectations that their organizations were not originally designed to meet. We argue that this has implications for how RAs are funded, designed, and, ultimately, evaluated.
DINA-BAG: A Bagging Algorithm for DINA Model Parameter Estimation in Small Samples
Authors: Arthur David , Chang Hua-Hua
Published: August 2023

Cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) are the assessment tools that provide valuable formative feedback about skill mastery at both the individual and population level. Recent work has explored the performance of CDMs with small sample sizes but has focused solely on the estimates of individual profiles. The current research focuses on obtaining accurate estimates of skill mastery at the population level. We introduce a novel algorithm (bagging algorithm for deterministic inputs noisy “and” gate) that is inspired by ensemble learning methods in the machine learning literature and produces more stable and accurate estimates of the population skill mastery profile distribution for small sample sizes. Using both simulated data and real data from the Examination for the Certificate of Proficiency in English, we demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other methods on several metrics in a wide variety of scenarios.

Authors: Krasnova O. , Tletseruk I. , Konik N. , Gosteva E. , Ulimbashev M.
Published: August 2023

Purpose: make a comparative assessment of indicators of reproduction and productive longevity of cows of meat breeds.

Materials and methods. The goal set in the study was studied using special scientific literature on the analyzed problem, the annual work on the tribal work in meat cattle breeding in the farms of the Russian Federation for 2021 (VNIILO), and periodicals.

Results. The most common meat breeds on the territory of the Russian Federation – Aberdeen Angus, Hereford, Kalmyk and Kazakh white–headed - are characterized by significant differences in production use. Thus, representatives of the Aberdeen Angus breed differ from the listed breeds at an earlier age at the first insemination, and the most late-maturing ones were individuals of the Kalmyk breed (differences of 7 months). At the same time, cows of these breeds, unlike Hereford and Kazakh white-headed cows, were used in herds for a longer time (on average for 2.2-2.8 calving). According to the output of calves from 100 Kalmyk cows, only 71 heads were obtained, which is significantly lower than from the breeding stock of Hereford, Aberdeen Angus and Kazakh white–headed breeds - on average by 9-14 heads. Analysis of the yield of calves per 100 cows in the context of the most common breeds of beef cattle, low values of the indicator are observed in individuals of the Kalmyk breed, at the same time they are much higher in the types available in the breed – 77-91 heads. Of all the studied breeds and types of beef cattle of the Russian Federation, only individuals of the Aberdeen Angus breed, the Andrianovsky and Dmitrievsky types of the Hereford breed, the Zavolzhsky type of the Kazakh white–headed breed exceeded in both indicators - the age of retirement and the yield of calves per 100 cows – the average values for all meat breeds and types of the country.

Published: August 2023

Honey bees are an important element of the ecological system. Today the state of the gene pool of honey bees is one of the main causes of the beekeeping crisis in the world. The quality of drone sperm is a significant factor for breeding productive bee colonies. Sperm concentration, motility, and viability of spermatozoa are an expression of sperm fertility. However, a full understanding of fertility can be obtained only by studying the morphology of spermatozoa. The purpose of this study was to describe the morphometric parameters and morphological characteristics of sperm heads of the Caucasian honey bee (A. mellifera caucasica), Bashkir honey bee (A. m. mellifera L.), of the Russian Far East honey bee (A. mellifera from far-eastern Russia) and Carnica honey bee (A. mellifera carnica) in order to determine standard features that could be used in further studies. Diff Quick staining was used to study the morphometric parameters of sperm heads. Sperm images were taken on each of the slides from a Canon 1300D digital cameras with an Altami-LUM 1 LED microscope using oil immersion at a magnification of 2000 × . Sperm images and morphometric parameters were studied using Altami Studio software version 3.5. The morphometric dimensions for area nucleus, perimeter nucleus, nucleus length and acrosome length were acquired for 200 images drone spermatozoa for each A. mellifera. Acquiring 200 images assures that a minimum of 150 properly measured sperm heads are analyses after improperly measured sperm heads are deleted from the analysis . The sperm cells were randomly selected for the morphometric analysis.  A total of 573 spermatozoa were assessed with morphometric parameters of sperm heads. The results of the morphometric analysis of drone spermatozoa show individual differences between the spermatozoa dimensions in each group. Between the A. mellifera groups the differences are not statistically significant. In this study, the min and max values of the acrosome length 3.14-5.02 µm, and nucleus length 4.02 -5.9 µm, perimeter nucleus 10.4-13.4 µm, and area nucleus 3.4-6.73 µm2, of A. mellifera spermatozoa. The morphological analysis of the drone spermatozoa revealed the presence of various abnormalities of the head (including the acrosome) and flagellum of the spermatozoa.

The first group - cows without clinical signs of vaginitis with a positive PCR test for Mycoplasma spp.; the second group - clinically healthy cows with a negative PCR test for Mycoplasma spp. The first group of cows, the group for the treatment of genital mycoplasmosis, used the antibiotic traksovet 100 (tulatromycin) at a dose of 2.5 mg per 1 kg of animal body weight, subcutaneously, once 40 days before the expected delivery. Vaginal secretions were collected from both groups of cows, in which the content of Ig G, Ig M, Ig A, sIg A, lysozyme activity and cytological examination of the vaginal smear were determined.

Results. The use of tulatromycin in cows with genital mycoplasmosis leads to a decrease in the content of Ig M and sIg A in vaginal secretions, which reach the values of these indicators in healthy animals. A less pronounced positive effect is observed with respect to the activity of the vaginal secretion lysozyme, which, although significantly increased, remains lower than in healthy cows. Cytological examination of vaginal smears against the background of antibiotic therapy showed a significant decrease in the number of epithelium and leukocytes.

Conclusion. The use of traksovet 100 antibiotic as etiotropic therapy for cows with genital mycoplasmosis leads to the elimination of the pathogen from the vaginal mucosa in 75 % of sick animals and provides partial restoration of cytological and immunological characteristics of vaginal secretions.

Published: August 2023

Purpose. To investigate and theoretically substantiate methods of increasing the sowing and productivity properties of seeds of perennial legumes and, on their basis, develop new and improve existing resource-saving, competitive growing technologies due to the use of mineral, fast-acting limestone fertilizers, seed inoculation with bacterial preparations based on various strains of nitrogen-fixing microorganisms and foliar feeding during the growing season with biostimulants and anti-stressors in order to expand economically valuable field and meadow grass stands on degraded natural pastures. Methods. Field, laboratory, visual, measuring, weight, quantitative, test sheaf method, mathematical, statistical. Results. Agrobiological bases for the formation of fruiting elements of perennial leguminous grasses with high productivity and sowing properties have been developed. They imply seed inoculation with the bacterial preparation Rhizobophyt 0.15 l/ha and foliar fertilizing with anti-stressor in the phase of stemming and budding of grasses on the ground of the basic fertilizer for cover crop (N30P60-90K60-90) in combination with a fast-acting limestone fertilizer (Ca(OH)2 – slaked lime – 1.2 t/ha) 0.5 norms for hydrolytic acidity. This contributed to the formation of the maximum seed yield of alfalfa – 0.29-0.30 t/ha, meadow clover – 0.47-0.49 t/ha, hybrid clover – 0.30-0.31 t/ha, deer vetch – 0.45-0.47 t/ha. Conclusions. For the successful seed production of new high-yielding varieties of perennial leguminous grasses with high sowing and productive properties, a mandatory measure is, against the background of the main fertilization with mineral and fast-acting limestone fertilizers for cover crops, the pre-sowing treatment of seeds with the bacterial preparation Rhizobophyt and foliar fertilizing with the anti-stressor Agrohumat, which contributed on average, over the years of research, to increase seed productivity by 21-57%.

Authors: Korniychuk O. , Yurchuk S.
Published: August 2023

Purpose. To study the influence of hydrothermal resources on the productivity of winter rapeseed. Methods. Field (conducting phenological observations and records), measuring and weighting (for recording productivity and yield), mathematical, statistical and correlational analysis (objective assessment of the obtained experimental data). Results. Varieties of winter rapeseed of different ecological and geographical origin were taken as research material. For the analysis, the conditions of the full vegetation period, “seedlings-termination of vegetation”, “restoration of vegetation-beginning of ripening” and “flowering-beginning of ripening” were chosen as the most critical ones. The importance of using the hydrothermal coefficient as an integral indicator in determining the cumulative effect of climatic factors on the yield characteristics of winter rapeseed plants has been proven. It has been established that the following factors have the greatest influence on the formation of rapeseed productivity: duration of the growing season, the sum of active temperatures and the sum of precipitation under a above +10°C temperature regime, especially during the “flowering-beginning of ripening” period. Conclusions. Hydrothermal conditions affect the productivity of winter rapeseed plants. During the entire vegetation period, the following factors had the greatest positive influence: the length of the vegetation period (in particular, when tfact >0o to +5oC and >+10oC), the sum of temperatures tfact >0o to +5oC, the amount of precipitation. From the beginning of germination to the entry into a state of rest and after the resumption of vegetation in the spring, the following factors have the strongest effect on plants: duration of the vegetation period at tfact >0o to +5oC and >+10oC, the availability of moisture at temperatures from 0o to +10oC. During the flowering-ripening period, the length of the growing season had a positive effect, in particular at air temperature >+10°C against the background of a fairly high sum of active temperatures. The yield of winter rapeseed depends on many abiotic factors, which always provide optimal conditions for the sufficient plant development in autumn and spring, but can negatively affect the flowering of plants, and, accordingly, reduce their productivity.
Immunosensor fabrication methods: A scoping review

Published: August 2023

Various methods of establishing a diagnosis, especially for initial diagnosis, have been widely developed, such as Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT), Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, those tools have several different limitations in each tool. The limitations of this tool include a fairly high error rate and the need for complex tools. The work can only be used by special personnel and a long processing time. Immunosensors are tools that can be used as an alternative. Immunosensor is a sensor used to detect specific immune reactions between antibodies and targets in the form of antigens and can detect interactions between analyte targets and antibodies from changes in electrochemical signal, sot the examination time is relatively faster. This scoping review aims to review each immunosensor fabrication parameter. The results proved that each analyte has a different characterization and is very diverse. So it is necessary to select the right parameters (electrode type, immunoassay configuration, electrode modification, receptor immobilization, and electrochemical characterization). The linear range and detection limit are also important parameters that can be developed so that very limited analyte concentrations in the sample can be detected. It is necessary to review fabrication methods to improve the stability of immunosensors so that the ligands contained in the immunosensor electrodes can last a long time to be able to carry out mass production.

Published: August 2023

Fat shaming has its long-time advocates and dissidents. In recent years, fat-shaming allies have argued that it is good for the health, while anti-fat-shaming hit back to highlight the downsides of fat shaming [1]. While a certain portion of individuals suffer from obesity due to biological reasons, a majority of them become obese due to cultural influences and unhealthy eating habits.

Objective: Homework assignments extend therapy impact. This study investigated the role of reviewing action recommendations from therapy sessions in subsequent sessions and its impact on patient outcomes.Method: Real-world data from 2,444 therapy sessions were analyzed. Machine learning and natural language processing techniques were used to detect action recommendations and their review. The proportion of session dialogues that included a review of action recommendations served as an indicator of review intensity. Using Generalized Estimating Equations modeling, we examined the association between this review metric and changes in clients' depression and anxiety scores.Results: Therapists in community-based programs typically provided clients with one to eight activity recommendations per session to engage in outside of therapy; however, about half of the sessions included a review of previously assigned action recommendations. A significant interaction between the initial depression score and the percentage of activity recommendations reviews emerged (p = .045). After controlling for this interaction, this review percentage was significantly associated with changes in depressive symptoms (p = .032). Post-hoc analyses revealed a significant positive association between the review percentage and changes in score within the mild depression category (p = .024). We found no such associations for anxiety or moderate to severe depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Therapists' review of action recommendations from previous sessions may positively impact depression outcomes, particularly for clients with mild depression. These findings emphasize the potential benefits of regularly reviewing therapeutic homework assignments in real-world therapy settings and the importance of developing strategies to help therapists maintain continuity between therapy sessions.
Strategies for Coping with Teaching and Learning Difficulties During COVID-19
Authors: Koirala Matrika Prasad
Published: August 2023

Finding the reality of the strategies for coping, t teaching, and learning difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic situation is the primary objective of this study. The study employed a mixed-method research design and drew on primary and secondary data sources. Surveys, field observations, personal interviews with students, teachers, parents, and focus group discussions were used to collect primary data. Two secondary schools involved in online teaching-learning were purposively selected from Lalbandi Municipality in the Sarlahi district of Madhesh Pradesh. Secondary data were collected from policy documents, empirical reports, theoretical literature, and e-resources. The finding shows that schools were not ready for the situations like COVID-19 lockdown. After the lockdown, schools made managerial and policy changes to provide an alternative mode of learning to students in the form of online classes. Schools followed the Student Learning Facilitation Guidelines to some extent and provided training to faculties on how to operate online classes. Those students who had no access to online classes tended to study in groups with teachers, friends, and families. The schools provided textbooks to the students. Thus, this paper concludes the important role local government played in providing effective alternative solutions to online classes rather than leaving students on their own.
