ESMpro: A Proposal for Improved Data Management for the Engineering Strong-Motion Database (ESM)
Authors: Mascandola Claudia , D’Amico Maria , Russo Emiliano , Luzi Lucia
Published: January 2023

The strategy for data processing in the Engineering Strong-Motion Database (ESM) is to disseminate only manually revised data to ensure the highest quality. However, manual processing is no longer sustainable, due to the ever-increasing rate of digital earthquake records, from global, regional, and national seismic networks, and a new framework for strong-motion data processing is required, so that records are automatically processed and the human revision is restricted to selected significant records. To this end, we present ESMpro—a modular Python software for a renewed processing framework of ESM. The software is available in a stand-alone beta version to facilitate testing and sharing among the scientific community. ESMpro provides automatic settings for waveform trimming and filtering, along with the automatic recognition of poor-quality data and multiple events. ESMpro allows classifying each record in different quality classes to reduce manual revision on a subset of the incoming data. ESMpro also allows handling different processing techniques in a modular and flexible structure to facilitate the implementation of new or alternative algorithms and file formats. The testing performed on the ESM database results in a good correspondence between the automatic and manual data processing, supporting the migration toward fully automatic procedures for massive data processing.
Physics-Based Forecasting of Induced Seismicity at Groningen Gas Field, The Netherlands: Post Hoc Evaluation and Forecast Update
Authors: Dempsey David E. , Suckale Jenny
Published: January 2023

Induced seismicity due to natural gas extraction from the Groningen reservoir, The Netherlands, has been occurring since the early 1990s. Prospective forecasts of the possible maximum earthquake magnitude for different gas extraction scenarios have previously been published. However, their accuracy and continued relevance are unknown. Here, we evaluate our prior Groningen seismicity forecast and propose a revised model. We compare the forecast to earthquakes that occurred after its publication, between 1 February 2017 and 1 July 2022. We used volume scaling to account for actual gas extraction being 35% less than considered in the forecast. After this correction, we found that the forecast slightly underestimated the number of M ≥2.5 events. However, it was consistent with the largest event in that period, an M 3.4. Then, we updated the forecast model for a new depressurization scenario, testing its pseudoprospective (out-of-sample) performance using L-test and N-test. This revision considered two possible magnitude–frequency distributions (MFD): (1) tapered Gutenberg–Richter (GR), in which induced ruptures are confined within the reservoir, and (2) unbounded GR, in which ruptures can propagate into the underburden. A tapered GR is the more likely scenario due to clear rollover in the MFD and a lack of events beneath the reservoir. However, we cannot exclude the possibility of an unbounded GR, because direct stress measurements in the underburden are not currently available. For the period 2021–2030, this new forecast suggests a 1% likelihood that the largest event will exceed M 3.8 for the tapered model and M 5.4 for the unbounded model.
Modeling-Based Assessment of Deep Seismic Potential Induced by Geologic Carbon Storage
Authors: Chang Kyung Won , Yoon Hongkyu
Published: January 2023

Induced seismicity is an inherent risk associated with geologic carbon storage (GCS) in deep rock formations that could contain undetected faults prone to failure. Modeling-based risk assessment has been implemented to quantify the potential of injection-induced seismicity, but typically simplified multiscale geologic features or neglected multiphysics coupled mechanisms because of the uncertainty in field data and computational cost of field-scale simulations, which may limit the reliable prediction of seismic hazard caused by industrial-scale CO2 storage. The degree of lateral continuity of the stratigraphic interbedding below the reservoir and depth-dependent fault permeability can enhance or inhibit pore-pressure diffusion and corresponding poroelastic stressing along a basement fault. This study presents a rigorous modeling scheme with optimal geological and operational parameters needed to be considered in seismic monitoring and mitigation strategies for safe GCS.
HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY METALS IN SEABREAM (Sparus aurata) SAMPLED FROM A PUBLIC MARKET IN TÜRKİYE
Authors: YEŞİLBUDAK Burcu
Published: January 2023

There is a dearth of data about public health in the regular evaluation of heavy metal levels in seafood obtained from public market. This study aimed to examine the levels of essential (copper, zinc) and nonessential metals (cadmium, lead) in the tissues of cultured seabream (Sparus aurata), which was in public market. For this purpose, seabream samples were collected from the public market. And then, copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) metal accumulation levels in tissues of the dissected gill, liver, kidney, and muscle were obtained by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In order to understand whether the fish posed a risk to public health, risk evaluation formulations (estimated daily intake: EDI, hazard coefficients: HQ, hazard index: HI) were calculated for the muscle tissue. The data showed that Zn, Cd and Pb concentrations were maximal in the kidney tissue of S. aurata and Cu concentration were in the liver tissue, while the minimum heavy metal levels were in the muscle tissue. As a result, the maximum levels of heavy metals in the edible tissue of seabream were found as 0.11 mg Cu/kg wet weight, 0.72 mg Zn/kg wet weight, 0.12 mg Cd/kg wet weight, and 0.34 mg Pb/kg wet weight. Maximum values of them do not indicate any health risks as they are lower than the allowable tolerable levels specified by the international EDI estimation committees. The examined HQ and HI indicators were observed below 1 in all seasons. However, it is always possible for heavy metal intake to pose potential risks. For this reason, it is essential that the results of the study be interpreted from different perspectives and taken into consideration by other scientists.

Field-synergy and nanoparticle’s diameter analysis on circular jet impingement using three oxide–water-based nanofluids
Authors: DATTA Abanti , HALDER Pabitra
Published: January 2023

The field synergy study is carried out using three oxide nanofluids impinging circular jet on the horizontal circular disc to analyse the synergetic interaction of cooling processes between temperature and flows fields. The h eat transfer effect o f the nanofluid is examined by rising the Reynolds number and the nanoparticle concentration depending on field synergy number. For jet impinged cooling process, the scale of synergy between the nanofluid flow speed and temperature is decayed with the increase of Reynolds number. Hence, it is contributed to a lower heat transfer efficiency of the nanofluid. Whe reas, the scale of synergy between the nanofluid flow speed and temperature can be enhanced by rising the particle concentration. Thus, the heat transfer efficiency of the nanofluid is increased. Analysis showed that Al2O3 nanofluid has the maximum relative field synergy among selected three oxide nanofluids. It is evident that the nanoparticle concentration, nanoparticle material and Reynolds number have significant effect on the heat transfer augmentation. In addition, the study is explored by varying jet-disk spacing. Moreover, the investigation has shown that the reducing heat transfer effect for the materials is Al2O3, CuO and TiO2 subsequently. It is revealed that the heat enhancement is higher for smaller nanoparticle’s diameter (i.e., 20 nm) than bigger nanoparticle’s diameter (i.e., 80 nm) of the same material.

Published: January 2023

Chest trauma is classified as blunt or penetrating, with blunt trauma being the cause of most thoracic injuries (90%). The main difference in penetrating trauma is opening the thoracic cavity, created either by stabbing or gunshot wounds, which is absent in blunt chest trauma. Following head and extremities injuries, Blunt thoracic injuries are the third most common injury in polytrauma patients.

Assessment of blunt chest trauma patients with clinical and radiographic finding suggestive of pneumothorax, rib fractures, effusion and suspected lung injuries.

A cases of 100 patients were included in the study with the age group between 18-49 years. Patients referred from the trauma centre with blunt chest trauma due to road traffic accidents and high velocity trauma. The hospital staff collects data of all trauma patients who were transferred-into the trauma centre with blunt chest trauma.

Pneumothorax was detected in 28 patients, 19 patients had associated rib fracture and 11 patients had associated pleural effusion. 11 patients were associated with subcutaneous emphysema .In 19 patients, underlying lung parenchymal injury was present. Hemothorax was detected in 15 patients on CT scan. Pneumomediastinum was detected in 3 patients, while pneumopericardium was not seen in any case. Pulmonary contusion was detected in 15 patients.

Computed Tomography (CT) Scan is the modality of choice for rapid assessment of emergency chest trauma patients where associated abdominal injuries can be scanned in one sitting with high sensitivity and specificity.

Plurilingual elicitations in Italian for foreigners’ classrooms in Malta
Through elicitation teachers involve learners in the process of discovering language and they use various means in order to do so: these include verbal cues (paraphrasing, questioning etc.) and non-verbal ones (pictures, gestures etc.). In this paper I refer to data collected in the Italian language classroom in Malta, in a small-scale study based on twelve lessons, carried out by three different trilingual (Maltese/English/Italian) teachers. Learners are 13-14 year-old Maltese nationals. In my analysis I present information related to the way teachers use elicitation in order to encourage their learners to produce vocabulary and simple sentences in Italian. Examples are provided to illustrate exchanges in which using learners’ language prior competences is a pedagogically-valid strategy. Data reveal that teachers resort to various elicitation techniques, and that they rely heavily on their plurilingualism. This indicates that teaching a foreign language in a bilingual context lends itself to situations wherein elicitation occurs by resorting to learners’ L1 and to their knowledge of other languages.

Different sources of nitrogen in potato cultivation and the management of common scab
Authors: Da Silva Mira Thiago Jose
Published: January 2023

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is native to South America and is the main vegetable grown in Brazil and worldwide. One of the diseases that can attack potato crops is the common scab, caused by the bacteria Streptomyces scabies, which affect roots and tubers. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of different sources of cultivation on potato crop in the management of common potato scab. The experimental design was in randomized blocks (DBC) containing five treatments urea (45% N), ammonium sulfate (20% N), protected urea (45% N), organomineral (0.75% N) and control (0% N). N) and four replications, in a total of 20 pots. The bacterium was removed from infected potato tubers and isolated in petri dishes containing YMA (Yeast, Manitol, Agar) culture medium. The bacterium was inoculated into the soil 15 times, seven days before planting. Seeds were distributed in pots with a capacity of 8 L, in a proportion of 2:1 (earth and sand), which were placed in a greenhouse. Fertilizing for planting and coverage was carried out according to the requirements of the crops: fertilization with urea and ammonium sulfate was carried out once at planting and twice at the top dressing; fertilizing with protected urea and organomineral was carried out once at planting and once at the top dressing; and nitrogen fertilization was not performed in the control treatment. The tubers were harvested 90 days after sowing. The variables analyzed were severity (graded) and incidence, counting the number of contaminated tubers, tuber weight yield of each plot, number of leaves, number of stems, and plant height. It was observed that the treatments with urea and ammonium sulfate had a lower percentage of common scab incidence, with an average incidence of 6.74% and 8.42%, respectively, followed by protected urea (8.90%). Urea and ammonium sulfate were efficient in reducing potato scab and increasing tuber production.

Published: January 2023

Coffee is traded on a stock exchange on which the goods are priced and influence their value both in the physical market and in the futures market, which causes doubts in coffee growers about the most opportune moment for trading. Then, the goal of this work was to consider the most favorable and unfavorable months over the years for the arabica and robusta coffee trading in the physical market and arabica coffee in the future market. The work was carried out using historical data on the price of coffee in Brazil, stratifying it into periods and listing for each year of evaluation the percentage of months with the first and second highest and lowest prices. Arabica and Robusta coffee were assessed respectively from 2018 to 1981 and from 2018 to 1995. Arabica coffee in the futures market was analyzed from 2018 to 1980. The evaluation was performed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis among the modalities of coffee trading in Brazil. Great instability was observed between the months of high and low prices for coffee trading. This shows the uncertainties existing in the market; however, it is possible to observe a trend of the most favorable and unfavorable months for commercialization. It is determined that for arabica coffee, December and January are the most favorable and unfavorable months for trading, respectively. For robusta coffee, the most favorable and unfavorable sales months were June and January. Arabica coffee in the futures market January was the best month for trading and February in the opposite condition, in alternate years, the least favorable month.

The effect of CT-based cardiothoracic ratio on survival of COVID-19 patients
Authors: AKMAN Burcu , KAYA Ahmet Turan , ÇETİN Şirin
Published: January 2023

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the relationship between computed tomography (CT)- based cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) with mortality rates of COVID-19 patients.
Methods: Our study was a single-center retrospective analysis of 484 patients (aged ≥ 18) who were admitted to our hospital’s emergency department. We included only laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients who underwent chest CT. Data of demographic information, laboratory findings, survivals, and chest CT imaging findings were recorded. The radiologist calculated CTR by dividing the greatest transverse cardiac diameter by the greatest transverse thoracic diameter on the initial chest CT. Cardiomegaly was defined if “CTR > 0.5”.
Results: Thirty (6.2%) patients were treated as outpatients, and 135/484 (%27.9) patients were treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). A total of 147 /484 (30.4%) patients died. We found a statistical association between cardiomegaly with mortality rates (p < 0.001) and ICU admission (p = 0.008). In multivariate analysis, older age was 1.07-fold (p <  0.001), cardiomegaly 1.75-fold (p = 0.015), history of cerebrovascular diseases 2.929-fold (p = 0.018), and elevated serum LDH level 1.003-fold (p = 0.011) associated with higher risks of mortality.
Conclusions: Since the presence of cardiomegaly on chest CT is associated with a worse prognosis for COVID-19 patients, more caution should be exercised in the evaluation, follow-up, and treatment of COVID-19 patients with cardiomegaly.
Nie ma wody na pustyni – realizacja programów polityki zdrowotnej przez jednostki samorządu terytorialnego szczebla powiatowego w Polsce

Published: January 2023

Jednostki samorządu terytorialnego stopnia powiatowego zobowiązane są do tworzenia i realizacji programów polityki zdrowotnej, co wynika z wyznaczonych im zadań w ochronie zdrowia. W artykule poddano weryfikacji, w jakim stopniu powiaty/miasta na prawach powiatu wywiązują się z tych zadań poprzez realizację programów polityki zdrowotnej oraz czy istnieje związek między realizacją takich programów a zamożnością powiatu, wskaźnikami opisującymi stan zdrowia populacji oraz posiadaniem przez powiat własnych podmiotów leczniczych. W wyniku przeprowadzonego badania stwierdzono, że na terenie jednostek, które realizują programy zdrowotne (choroby cywilizacyjne, nowotwory), występują niższe wskaźniki zgonów. Jednocześnie zaledwie 38% powiatów i 70% miast na prawach powiatu faktycznie realizowało takie programy. Za główne powody tak niskiego odsetka powiatów tworzących wyżej wymienione programy należy uznać niewystarczające wsparcie strukturalne (prawo), instytucjonalne (jednostki mogące pomóc w tworzeniu takich programów) oraz problemy z kadrą i braki w know‑how pracowników JST. Do poprawy sytuacji mogłyby przyczynić się: powstanie centralnego rejestru programów, lepsze rozwiązania legislacyjne, modyfikacja lub budowanie innych modeli polityki zdrowotnej (stawiających na profilaktykę i promocję zdrowia) oraz wsparcie edukacyjne dla samorządów.

About the social turn in foreign library science
Authors: Sokolov S. V.
Published: January 2023

The article presents an analysis of the bibliographic database of the Google Academy as a source for studying the most cited articles of leading foreign journals in library and information sciences. The most rated journals on library science are introduced. The crisis of foreign library science as a social discipline in the subjects of the journal Scientometrics is ascertained. The place of foreign library science in the interdisciplinary discourse for November 2022 has been estimated. The leader of the turn towards new library science with greater focus on knowledge management and socio-ethical component in researches is designated R. David Lankes Professor of Library Science at the University of Texas in Austin. Based on the analysis of the most cited articles in the leading foreign journals on library science, the ways of modern library studies within the framework of the so-called “social turn”, as well as the directions of interdisciplinary research in the field of social sciences with the participation of specialists in library and information sciences, are shown. When searching for a new library methodology, the so-called “chronotopy” and “altmetrics” are considered as a compromise option for combining quantitative and qualitative research methods, which also involve the author’s immersion in the content under study – the basis for scientific introspection, self-reflection and self-control.
Improving the system of scientific and methodological support of libraries of scientific institutions of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences

Published: January 2023

The purpose of the article is to identify ways to develop the system of scientific and methodological support for the work of structural divisions of scientific institutions of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (UB RAS) (libraries, departments, sectors) that provide information and library support for their activities. The scientific and methodological center for libraries of scientific institutions of UB RAS is the Central Scientific Library of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CSL UB RAS). To determine the priority directions of development of CSL UB RAS in the fi of scientific and methodological support of the network libraries, the analysis of the main indicators of their activities in the period from 2017 to 2021 was carried out. It revealed a steady decline in the indicators of library visits in stationary conditions, a decrease in the receipt of literature on physical media, an increase in the issuance of documents (mainly electronic documents from remote full–text databases) and an increase in applications in the distant format. Based on the data obtained and taking into account current trends in the fi      of information support for science, the priority directions of CSL UB RAS activities developing the scientific and methodological support system for network libraries have been formulated. The implementation of these directions will ensure the effective use of the aggregated collection of libraries’ printed publications, the joint development of electronic sources of foreign scientific information, the organization of effective information services using remote technologies, the development of scientific libraries’ personnel potential, taking into account current trends in the information infrastructure of science. Strengthening system links within the network of libraries of UB RAS scientific institutions will become one of the components for building an effective system of cooperation and coordination of libraries of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Scientific organization and author profiles as types of the Internet-representation
Authors: Prokof’eva Yu. D.
Published: January 2023

In the modern world, the Internet representation of an organization has long ceased to be a fashionable trend, but has become a significant form of communication dictated by the requirements of time. The effectively organized work of the Internet representation helps to inform about the results of activities and achievements, to form image, to establish communication and feedback, affordable, prompt service and liaison. In the conditions of information competition, it is especially important for scientific organizations to be present in the Internet space. Conventionally, Websites are considered as the Internet main representation. A relatively new type of the Internet representation are pages in social networks, including those of scientific libraries and research institutes. Despite the common tasks and related functions, they have a number of differences and advantages over each other. It is proposed in the study to consider profiles of scientific organizations and author profiles on scientific platforms (Web of Science, Scopus, ORCID, RSCI, ScienceID, ResearchGate, Google Scholar and others) as a specialized type of the Internet representations. Unlike websites and social networks, they are aimed only at specialists in the scientific field. The purpose of the work is to determine whether the profile of the organization and the author’s profile of the scientist is a kind of the Internet representation. The article considers approaches to understanding the Internet representation, types, tasks and criteria characteristic of all types of the Internet representations, the definition of the “Internet representation” has been formulated.

“The process of four” in samizdat: Novosibirsk version
Authors: Yarantsev V. N.
Published: January 2023

One of the most significant and well-known samizdat publications – the collection "The Process of Four" – is considered in several aspects: as inheriting the traditions of the previous samizdat collection "The White Book", as revolutionary (an array of letters in defense of the accused) for the beginning of the human rights movement in the USSR and as a unique text , which has its own, special handwritten version. The personality of this original copy creator – the scientist from Novosibirsk Academgorodok  A.I. Fet – is interpreted as playing an important role in terms of the manuscript “The Process of Four” existence, its study and interpretation. Particular attention is paid to the process of creating its copy in the late 60s, which took place not only against the background of the persecution of differently minded in Akademgorodok, where the copy of the collection was printed, but also in parallel with the work of A. I. Fet on studying, translating and printing works of famous biologists, psychologists, philosophers, also intended for samizdat. It is emphasized and substantiated that the creation of this copy of “The Process of Four” by A. I. Fet, but it is stipulated that this copy could have been partially printed by him, and the manuscript included ready-made parts (blocks) of the original text. The views of A. I. Fet on dissidence and human rights activities, characterized by unorthodoxity and originality are elucidated, numerous works from the collection of his scientific, philosophical and journalistic heritage are cited. This allows not only to take a different look at the context and circumstances of this collection typescript creation, but also to highlight some moments in the history of early samizdat in the USSR in the second half of the 1960s and its representatives’ activities.
Neurophilosophy and neurobibliology: problems at the intersection of sciences
Authors: Leonov V. P.
Published: January 2023

The purpose of the article is an interdisciplinary analysis of the concepts of «neurophilosophy» and «neurobibliology» in the system of cognitive sciences as varieties of cognitive sciences. It shows the importance of a new formulation of the problem. Neurophilosophy is an area of interdisciplinary research based both on knowledge of the neurophysiological foundations of mental phenomena and on computer methods for modeling brain activity. The brain cannot be understood without the problem of subjective experience and consciousness, but consciousness cannot be understood without studying the brain. Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences K.V. Anokhin considers the problems of creativity in the context of the cognitome / connectome construction. The cognitome is a reflection of the system of subjective experience, and the connectome is the architecture of the body's neural network. According to K.V. Anokhin, the book is an external cognitome.The author proposes the concept of neurobibliology as an interdisciplinary scientific direction at the intersection of bibliology and the theory of cognitive processes. It is based on the «cognitome» research program. The key object of study of neurobibliology is the «book – book business – reader» system in relation to the brain mechanisms of the behavior of the cognitome.The book science of neurosciences is a study of book science concepts of library science, bibliographic studies, reader studies, which underlie a particular neuroscience, as well as the study and analysis of the goals, methods, and problems of individual neurosciences. Thus, bibliology of neurosciences can be considered as a derivative of neurobibliology, which forms and solves the problems of neurosciences. Neurobibliology and bibliology of the neurosciences can be defined more as «a complex knowledge science» than «a complex cognitive science».

Poor social skills in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are associated with reduced independence in daily life. Current interventions for improving the social skills of individuals with ASD fail to represent the complexity of real-life social settings and situations. Virtual reality (VR) may facilitate social skills training in social environments and situations proximal to real life, however, more research is needed for elucidating aspects such as the acceptability, usability, and user experience of VR systems in ASD. Twenty-five participants with ASD attended a neuropsychological evaluation and three sessions of VR social skills training, incorporating 5 social scenarios with three difficulty levels for each. Participants reported high acceptability, system usability, and user experience. Significant correlations were observed between performance in social scenarios, self-reports, and executive functions. Working memory and planning ability were significant predictors of functionality level in ASD and the VR system’s perceived usability respectively. Yet, performance in social scenarios was the best predictor of usability, acceptability, and functionality level in ASD. Planning ability substantially predicted performance in social scenarios, postulating an implication in social skills. Immersive VR social skills training appears effective in individuals with ASD, yet an error-less approach, which is adaptive to the individual’s needs, should be preferred.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are often considered biomarkers of skin fibrosis. At the early stages of the pathological process, an elevation of their enzymatic activity causes significant changes in the composition of the extracellular matrix. MMPs secreted by immune cells facilitate their migration to the site of damage. Then, the immune cells eliminate the affected cells and biomolecules. Moreover, bidirectional changes in the activity of proteolytic enzymes, including MMPs, accompany wound healing. This study aimed to assess changes in the expression of Mmp2, Mmp3, and Mmp9 after treating the mice with laser therapy using the experimental model of bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis. Using immunohistochemistry, we characterized the histological features of scarred skin. We also analyzed changes in the expression of MMPs using real-time polymerase chain reaction before and after the irradiation with laser. We showed that treatment of the mice with CO2 laser partially normalized the histological features of scarred skin. We also noticed a decrease in the expression of Mmp2, Mmp3 (both p < 0.05), and Mmp9 (p = 0.065) during scar healing. The obtained results suggest that normalization of skin homeostasis requires a control of MMPs activities via induction of their genes.
Paridad de género en los congresos locales en México y representación socioeconómica: ¿Congresos más equitativos?
Authors: Patrón Sánchez Fernando , Rodríguez Gómez Katya
Published: January 2023

The article analyzes if gender parity in subnational legislatures in México has produced a more equitable social representation. It explores the plurality of gender parity in terms of socioeconomic differences, and female and male representation. Using data from Censo de Poderes legislativos Estatales 2020, the article classifies subnational legislators by socioeconomic levels and compared with CONEVAL’s methodology of social stratification in Mexico. The tested hypothesis is that gender parity has not produced a favorable impact on a more equitable political representation in socioeconomic terms so far. Female and male political representation continues to be dominated by upper socioeconomic levels.

This study aimed at explaining the capacity of pre-service teachers in designing teaching activities to foster Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). The research participants were 35 pre-service teachers attending Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teacher Education department at a state university in Malang. The research method was descriptive quantitative. The assessment was conducted by reviewing lesson plans designed by the pre-service teachers. Rubric within Shulman's framework was used for assessing the lesson plans by considering some key aspects of teaching to foster HOTS, namely content knowledge, the use of questions, and problem-solving. The results have revealed that the pre-service teachers did not show a good ability to interpret contents. Besides, the pre-service teachers tended to use clarifying questions in learning. This was due to the fact that the designed learning had not been based on problems. It can be said that the capacities of the pre-service teachers in both content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge were considerably low. Both types of knowledge have shown a significant correlation in the context of teaching to foster HOTS.
