Guiding a Better Experiential Learning Journey by Making It HIP Again
Authors: Endersby Lisa , Maheux-Pelletier Geneviève 
Published: November 2020

The definition of experiential education (EE) has both pedagogical and practical implications for higher education institutions. While there is increasing pressure to justify and quantify these experiences, we remain faced with the challenge of ensuring a demonstration of breadth does not distract from the importance of meaningful depth in and for student learning. This paper presents a potential reframing of conversations about experiential education, emphasizing the role of high impact practices (HIPs) in defining EE as more than an experience. The value, purpose, and challenges of integrating reflection into these experiences is highlighted through the lens of the defining characteristics of HIPs, supporting the development of meaningful, engaging opportunities for deeper learning.

La définition de l’enseignement fondé sur l’expérience (EE) est importante à la fois pour l’aspect pédagogique et pour l’aspect pratique de l’enseignement supérieur. Même si de plus en plus de voix réclament une clarification et une quantification de ce type d’expérience, la difficulté demeure la même : en démontrant l’étendue de l’expérience, il faut se garder de négliger la profondeur de l’apprentissage, qui est importante et chargée de sens. Dans notre article, nous proposons une avenue possible pour déplacer la conversation au sujet de l’enseignement fondé sur l’expérience en mettant l’accent sur le rôle des pratiques à incidence élevée dans l’EE conçu comme une notion dépassant celle d’expérience. Pour comprendre quelle valeur, quel but et quelles difficultés émergent de l’intégration de la réflexion à l’expérience, nous observons les choses à partir des traits caractéristiques des pratiques à incidence élevée de manière à rassembler les conditions pour un apprentissage en profondeur motivant et enrichissant.

Aims
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) represents a powerful independent predictor of adverse outcome in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). No treatment for CMD exists. The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitor perindopril improves myocardial blood flow (MBF) in animal models of cardiac hypertrophy and in hypertensive patients. Whether HCM patients with CMD may benefit is unknown.

Methods
Fourteen HCM patients aged 18–60 years with CMD [MBF post 0.56 mg/kg dipyridamole (Dip) infusion <2.1 ml/min∗g] were included. Presence of left ventricular outflow obstruction, hypertension and coronary artery disease were exclusion criteria. Perindopril was administered after the initial Dip 13N-NH3 PET study at 10 mg for 6 months. After wash-out, a second PET was performed. MBF before and after treatment was compared.

Results
No relevant associations were found between baseline MBF values and sex, genetics, history of angina, type of HCM (apical/classic), maximum left ventricular thickness and left ventricular mass. No significant improvement in Dip-MBF was observed with treatment (1.79 ± 0.30 vs.1.76 ± 0.26 ml/min∗g at baseline; P = 0.59). A limited but significant improvement in Dip-MBF was seen only in the subset without evidence of fibrosis at cardiac MRI (n = 4; 28%; 2.03 ± 0.13 vs.1.77 ± 0.26 ml/min∗g at baseline; P = 0.014). The drug was generally well tolerated: only one patient temporarily stopped the drug, because of cough.

Conclusion
A 6-month perindopril treatment course in HCM patients with CMD was not associated with significant improvement in Dip-MBF. A limited but significant improvement was observed only in the subset of patients without myocardial fibrosis, suggesting potential utility in early disease stages.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The electronically controlled fuel injection system of the diesel engine has multi-disciplinary characteristics and strong coupling. The programming method based on a mathematical model cannot be applied to the fuel system with a diversified structure arrangement. With the rapid development of hydrodynamics, more and more simulation software is applied in the actual research. Hydsim simulation platform is one of the best software for the simulation of the electronic control injection system. In this paper, the Hydsim simulation platform is used to simulate the electronic control injection system, and a test-bed for verification is built. Based on the experimental results, the injection characteristics of high-pressure common rail are studied. The validity and accuracy of the simulation model are verified by comparing the simulation value with the test value and the standard value. Finally, the influence of the structural parameters such as the inlet and outlet orifices and control pistons of the injection system on the injection characteristics is analysed, and the selection principle of each parameter in the system design is proposed, which provides a reliable basis for the structural optimisation.
Mixed-Mode Oscillations Based on Complex Canard Explosion in a Fractional-Order Fitzhugh-Nagumo Model.
Authors: Lozi René , Abdelouahab Mohammed-Salah , Chen Guanrong 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This article highlights particular mixed-mode oscillations (MMO) based on canard explosion observed in a fractional-order Fitzhugh-Nagumo (FFHN) model. In order to rigorously analyze the dynamics of the FFHN model, a recently introduced mathematical notion, the Hopf-like bifurcation (HLB), which provides a precise definition for the change between a fixed point and an S−asymptotically T−periodic solution, is used. The existence of HLB in this FFHN model is proved and the appearance of MMO based on canard explosion in the neighborhoods of such HLB points are numerically investigated using a new algorithm: the global-local canard explosion search algorithm. This MMO is constituted of various patterns of solutions with an increasing number of small-amplitude oscillations when two key parameters of the FFHN model are varied simultaneously. On the basis of such numerical experiment, it is conjectured that chaos could occur in a two-dimensional fractional-order autonomous dynamical system, with the fractional-order close to one. Therefore, this very simple two-dimensional FFHN model, presents an incredible ability to mimic the complex dynamics of neurons.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
This paper presents the calculations of the summer thermal stability of a critical room of the given building. In this case, the critical room of the building is an attic room. Using two different software (SIMULACE and DesignBuilder), the summer thermal stability of the attic room was evaluated according to the Czech standard ČSN 73 0540-2 [1]. This standard compares the calculated and required value of the maximum internal temperature in the summer period. The results from both software were compared with the Czech standard and also with each other. The resulting temperature courses in the interior differ by a few Celsius degrees. In conclusion, the causes of different results are discussed as well as the advantages and disadvantages of both software.
Anchorage System in Old Post-Tensioned Precast Bridges
Authors: Bujňáková Petra 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The first precast post-tensioned bridges in Slovakia are approaching 60 years of their service life. Facing an aging infrastructure, it is necessary to assess their present structural condition and residual life expectancy. Different types and methods of anchorage system were developed and available for first post-tensioned bridges around the world. The reliability and functionality of anchorages contribute to the proper behaviour of post-tensioning system. The considerable effect of aggressive environment (frost, chloride salts, humidity) and environmental load (CO2) leads to corrosion of anchorages and prestressing steel with the risk of a sudden unexpected damage to bridge. The research work deals into finding more details of this structural part. During the demolition of damaged post-tensioned bridges built in 1960s several anchorages were removed and analysed. The material properties, size parameters and performed tensile tests of a wedge anchorage system are summarised in this paper. The findings from this study can be used as input parameters for numerical simulation and durability assessment of similar aged existing post-tensioned bridges.
‘Big 4’ influence on audit market
Authors: Tache Marta 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to determine the impact that Big 4 companies have had after the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) became mandatory on the audit market. Thus, after thorough research of the specialised studies, the impact of the financial reporting based on IFRS is analysed, while considering that Big 4 companies have created a strong monopoly that led to several changes on the audit market. All the companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange that traded premium shares from 2011 to 2019 were analysed. With the use of ANOVA analysis, this paper verifies if the profitability, shareholders’ funds, firm size and the size of the business group influence the choice of the audit firm. Our results confirm that the choice of an audit firm is influenced by the shareholders’ funds, number of employees and the size of the business group. Besides, this paper presents an analysis of the changes that have occurred from 2011–2019 on the audit market of Romania.
Is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) a New Alternative to Governance Challenges of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs)?3
Authors: Maisuradze Davit , Narmania Giorgi , Lazishvili Magda , Tkeshelashvili Mariam , Shakiashvili Irakli 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This article aims to analyze the current theory of managing the State-owned Enterprises (SOEs) with the use of Single Ownership Entity and to suggest alternative solution, particularly, managing SOEs with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
After a thorough review of the literature analyzing the connection between CSR and SOEs, the article states that there are important missing points in the previous research and academic debate: (1) no scholar directly emphasizes CSR as the answer to the problems of SOEs; (2) there is no research conducted on the comparison of Single Ownership Entity and CSR, evaluating their potential positive effects on SOEs; (3) accordingly, academic literature does not discuss the ways and tools of implementation of CSR in SOEs.
The article aims to fill this gap and emphasize the links between CSR and SOEs. Due to the challenges, goals and ownership structure of SOEs, CSR is the most suitable corporate governance model for SOEs and its effective implementation is more vital than the execution of recommendations on creating the single ownership entity suggested by international organizations. The research question of the article is to compare managing the SOEs with the use of the CSR model (Alternative Theory) to single ownership mechanism established by OECD (Current Theory) and find out whether CSR is a better solution to the existing problems of SOEs.
Finally, the article discusses the institutional context of SOEs based on the examples of the countries of Eastern and Central Europe where the problems regarding SOEs remain remarkable; presents the balance of interests of stakeholders’ in SOEs in connection to Alternative and Current Theories; and combines analysis, research and recommendations of international organizations and academia towards the problems of SOEs.
Screening tea hybrid with abundant anthocyanins and investigating the effect of tea processing on foliar anthocyanins in tea

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Anthocyanins are important bioactive supplements that are consumed from multiple foods and beverage products. Screening tea cultivars producing a high level of anthocyanins can help to enrich the edible bioactive supplements. ‘Zijuan’ (ZJ) is a tea cultivar growing purple shoots rich in anthocyanins, but it is susceptible to freezing winter and sprouts late in spring. Hybridisation using ‘ZJ’ as the female parent and an early sprouting cultivar ‘Wuniuzao’ as the male parent was carried out, and four hybrids with purple leaves were obtained. The quality of anthocyanins, catechins, caffeine and amino acids in shoots with three leaves and a bud of the purple leaf hybrids obtained were determined based on the field investigation on sprouting time in spring, winter resistance and leaf yield. It showed that hybrid ‘B-2’ sprouted earlier in the spring, contained a higher level of anthocyanins and also showed good performance in winter resistance than its female parent ‘ZJ’. It also showed that black tea processing induced a marked decrease in foliar anthocyanins, but green tea processing had little effect on the foliar anthocyanins. Purple tea leaves should be prepared into unfermented green tea instead of fermented black tea to preserve the high level of anthocyanins in the final tea products.
The association between disclosures on control system over financial reporting and mechanisms of corporate governance: Empirical evidence from Germany and Poland
Authors: Gad Jacek 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The aim of the research was to determine the impact of selected corporate governance mechanisms on the scope of disclosures related to control system over financial reporting in Poland and Germany. The research group comprised of companies from the Warsaw WIG 30 index and the German DAX index in 2013. The disclosures were measured by the number of detailed disclosures about control system over financial reporting presented by the surveyed companies. The research results indicate that selected corporate governance mechanisms affect the scope of disclosures regarding the system of control over financial reporting. It was found that the number of supervisory board committees and the number of meetings of the supervisory board have a significant positive influence on the scope of disclosures regarding control over financial reporting. But, the increase in number of meetings of the audit committee has a significant negative impact on the scope of disclosures regarding control over financial reporting. The results of the research also indicate the role of national determinants of the scope of disclosures. The study was a comparative one nature and was conducted among companies from developed and developing capital markets.

Authors: Lowery Megan M. , Taimur Malik Muhammad , Seemiller Joseph , Tsai Cynthia S. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract

Objective
A rare variant Miller Fisher Syndrome overlap with Guillain Barre Syndrome is described in an adult patient with SARS-COV-2 infection.

Case Presentation
The clinical course of a 45-year-old immunosuppressed man is summarized as a patient who developed ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and areflexia after upper respiratory infection symptoms began. A nasopharyngeal swab was positive for COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction. He progressed to acute hypoxemic and hypercapnic respiratory failure requiring intubation and rapidly developed tetraparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine was consistent with Guillain Barre Syndrome. However, the clinical symptoms, along with positive anti-GQ1B antibodies, were consistent with Miller Fisher Syndrome and Guillain Barre Syndrome overlap. The patient required tracheostomy and had limited improvement in his significant neurological symptoms after several months.

Conclusions
The case demonstrates the severe neurological implications, prolonged recovery and implications in the concomitant respiratory failure of COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms on the spectrum of disorders of Guillain Barre Syndrome.
Prognostic value of Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) when used as an adjunct to Colposcopy – a longitudinal study
Authors: Brown B. H. , Highfield P.E. , Tidy J. A. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract

Objective
Colposcopy can be used with Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) as an adjunct, to assess the presence of High Grade Cervical Intra-epithelial Neoplasia (CIN2+). This analysis of longitudinal data has used the results from women with a negative colposcopy, in order to see if the initial (index) EIS results were able to predict the women who subsequently developed CIN2+. A further objective was to investigate what tissue structural changes might be reflected in the electrical impedance spectra.

Methods
847 patients were referred with low grade cytologly. EIS measurements were made around the transformation zone of the cervix during colposcopy. Every EIS spectrum was matched to a template representing CIN2+ and the result was positive if the match exceeded a probability index threshold. The colposcopic impression was also recorded. All the women who developed biopsy proven CIN2+ within three years of the index colposcopy were identified.

Results
The median follow-up was 30.5 months. Where both CI and EIS were initially positive, there was an increased prevalence (8.13%) of CIN2+ developing as opposed to 3.45% in the remaining patients (p=0.0159). In addition, if three or more EIS spectra were positive there was a higher prevalence (9.62% as opposed to 3.56% p=0.0132) of CIN2+ at three years. The index spectra recorded from the women who developed CIN2+ showed EIS changes consistent with increases in the extracellular volume and in cell size inhomogeneity.

Conclusion
EIS does offer prognostic information on the risk of CIN2+ developing over the three-year period following the EIS measurements. The changes in EIS spectra are consistent with an increase in cell size diversity as pre-malignancy develops. These changes may be a consequence of increased genetic diversity as neoplasia develops.

Abstract

Introduction. The nursing profession in Poland is subject to continuous transformations, but it should follow the directions based on the common framework for the development of specialist nursing, drawn up by international specialist nurses associations in Europe. A change in the nursing education system in Poland has provided an opportunity for progress based on consistent framework.

Summary. Nurse education organised in a system of first cycle and second cycle university courses was a milestone towards improving the status of the nursing profession. The improved position of Polish nurses paved the way for further advancements in this profession and in the related scientific research, which in the past was rarely conducted by Polish nurses; today more and more research teams are launched and operate both at universities and in nurses’ scientific associations.

Innovation is becoming a warming issue to be often discussed by many actors like academician, politician, and business sectors at global world recently. Innovation is basically a better change of an organization, it is firstly applied in private sector. Development of current literature in public administration science, innovation emerges as a conceptual discourse stuff that is then sounded into public sector. Innovation practice in private sector is different to public sector. Innovation practice in public sector, particularly in public services is one of interesting things to be discussed in this study because China is one of economics superpower in the world that is able to innovate at midst totally strong political control from central government. Issue of public service innovation is critical issue which is linear with economic growth in China. This study is a research using qualitative-descriptive method with the source derived from secondary data, and this study is called as a desk research. This research finding is that innovation practices at public service which is successfully conducted by Government of China can be adopted by Government of Indonesia by adjusting key points for implementing innovation of public services in Indonesia. It is important that Government of Indonesia must seek an alternative way to find an appropriate model to implement best practices of public service innovation adopted from China.
Age and homeostasis

Гомеостаз - способность организма сохранять достаточное для жизни постоянство структуры и функции. Противоречие заключается в том, что суть жизни - это неизбежное изменение структуры и функции. Наиболее распространенный нарушитель гомеостаза - оксидативный стресс. В нейтрализации его действия участвует множество генов, включаемых транскрипционными факторами Nrf2, NFκB, TFAM, и PGC1α. Адаптивный ответ развивается не только на оксидативный стресс, но и на тепловой шок, гликемический стресс, холодовой шок, осмотический стресс, переутомление, голодание, механический стресс, антигенное воздействие, эмоциональный и психологический стресс. При стрессе в клетках накапливаются продукты неполного протеолиза - агрегаты. Гомеостатический ответ выражается увеличением содержания шаперонов, способствующих правильному свертыванию белков и протеасом, разрушающих агрегаты. Однако способность адекватно отвечать на стрессы снижается с возрастом, сужается диапазон модулирования адаптивного гомеостаза. Нарастает вероятность выхода за пределы сузившегося диапазона и гибели клетки.
Homeostasis is the ability of the body to maintain sufficient for life permanence of structure and function. A contradiction is that the essence of life is inevitable changes in the structure and function. The most common homeostasis violator is oxidative stress. Numerous genes triggered by Nrf2, NFκB, TFAM, and PGC1α transcription factors are involved in neutralizing the action of oxidative stress. The adaptive response is induced not only by oxidative stress but also by heat shock, glycemic stress, cold shock, osmotic stress, exhastion, starvation, mechanical stress, antigenic impact, and emotional or psychological stress. In stress, cells accumulate products of incomplete proteolysis, aggregates. The homeostatic response is evident as increased content of chaperones that contribute to the proper folding of proteins, and proteasomes that destroy the aggregates. However, the capability for an adequate response to stress declines with age, and the range of adaptive homeostasis modulation narrows. The probability of going beyond this narrowed range and of cell death is increasing.
