Authors: Evans Kelsey , Russell William B. , Furgione Brian , Sheridan Allison 
Published: May 2020

This study investigates family perceptions of character education and social emotional learning in PBS Kids educational media programming. Interview transcripts of parents and their children were analyzed to investigate their perceptions of the media programming and the impact it has on character development and social emotional well-being. This study indicates that many parents who were exposed to PBS in their youth and are returning to PBS for foundational support when in raising their children. The wholesome messages depicted on PBS shows, like Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, are helping parents teach their children about complex topics, such as how they feel, what they value, and cleanliness in the home. This assistance, in turn, enables parents to have conversations that help their children thrive, and foster a healthy and supportive parental/child relationship.

Sulfathiazole (SFTZ) is an antibacterial drug that contains the organosulfur compounds. It is used as a short-acting sulfa drug. The metal complexes of sulfa-drug have gained considerable importance due to their pronounced biological activity. The sulfa-drugs have received great attention because of their therapeutic applications against bacterial infections. Mn(II) complex of sulfathiazole was synthesized by the reaction of sulfathiazole with MnCl2.4H2O. The Mn (II) complex was characterized based on UV, IR, 1H NMR Spectroscopy and x-ray powder diffraction. The electronic spectrum of the ligand showed intra charge transfer which was assigned to the chromophores present in the ligand, while that of the complex suggested intra ligand charge transfer (ILCT) and ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT). In the IR spectrum of sulfathiazole, the N-H stretch of SO2NH appeared at 3255.23 cm-1. In the IR spectrum of the metal complex, this band was absent. This suggested the deprotonation of the N-H of SO2NH during the complexation reaction. This showed that sulfathiazole acted as a monodentate ligand. 1H NMR spectrum of [Mn(SFTZ)] complex showed the involvement of the nitrogen atom of SO2NH. The crystal structure of [Mn(SFTZ)] complex belongs to monoclinic system, space group P1, with cell parameters of a= 4.519Å, b = 8.704Å, c = 12.608Å, V = 493.5Å3, β = 95.69º. Molecular docking suggested that the ligand/complex bonded effectively with the E.coli and S.aureus because their global binding energies were negative. The binding interactions of ligand/complex with E. coli and S. aureus were predicted. Molecular docking predicted the feasibility of the biochemical reactions before experimental investigation. It was concluded that sulfathiazole behaved as a monodentate ligand towards Mn (II) ion. The binding energy and interaction of [Mn(SFTZ)] with E.coli and S. aureus have also shown that inhibition of the bacterial species is feasible. The mechanism of action of [Mn(SFTZ)] with E. coli and S. aureus is now well understood.

Published: May 2020

El presente artículo es resultado de una investigación documental enmarcada en el paradigma cualitativo donde pretendemos plantear algunas reflexiones sobre la ética compleja de Morín en el contexto educativo. Utilizamos la metodología hermenéutica. Analizamos e interpretamos bajo nuestra perspectiva subjetiva los diferentes elementos de la ética compleja en el contexto educativo. Finalmente, concluimos que la ética compleja también llamada de resistencia y de religación; es indispensable en la educación porque permite al hombre alejarse de la noción del mal elevando su dimensión altruista. Esta última, necesaria durante la formación educativa de todo ser humano, debido al acompañamiento que recibe de otros seres semejantes a él con los que debe compartir sus conocimientos, habilidades y valores como parte del orden social y planetario.
5. Aproximación epistémica a la educación literaria
Authors: Illas (UC) Wilfredo 
Published: May 2020

Comprender la dimensión epistémica que implica la educación literaria representa un verdadero desafío, el cual puede vislumbrarse desde una doble articulación: valorar la proyección educativa del fenómeno literario; y, reconocer la confluencia de lo educativo, lo literario y lo humano en instancias relacionales, dialógicas y vivenciales. El propósito de este ensayo científico consiste en delinear algunos elementos epistémicos de la educación literaria como instancia inaplazable para enriquecer el mundo del alumno/lector desde dimensiones cognitivas, afectivas, espirituales y culturales. Vista así resulta válido pensar una educación literaria recreada en la promoción de la literatura local y regional que vehicule la condición humana en la comprensión de los múltiples sentidos y significados a los que el texto apuesta, suscitando el desarrollo de una actitud favorable hacia los valores identitarios y hacia una lectura más afectiva y significativa que, desde el imaginario literario circundante, sumerja al lector en el periplo literario universal.
1. Planteamientos del problema de los trabajos especiales de grado: una tipología textual a investigar
Authors: Granado Domínguez (UC) Milena Ailin 
Published: May 2020

La presente investigación tuvo como propósito valorar el significado de las estructuras textuales de nueve planteamientos del problema de los Trabajos Especiales de Grado producidos por estudiantes egresados del Departamento de Idiomas Modernos de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Carabobo. Se trató de un estudio realizado bajo un enfoque cualitativo en su modalidad del análisis del discurso de acuerdo a la clasificación de Martínez (2006). Para el análisis se tomaron en cuenta las categorías de órdenes sintácticos, semánticos y pragmáticos propuestos por este autor así como también las de orden cognitivo, señaladas por Niño (2004). Los resultados apuntan al hecho de que el segmento analizado puede ser tratado por estudiantes, docentes e investigadores a partir de análisis de modelos textuales propios de su género que conllevan al investigador a ejercer, en primer lugar, su rol de lector para luego convertirse en un escritor eficiente. Se concluye que la estructura organizativa de los planteamientos del problema analizados, a pesar de que contienen unidades lingüísticas y retóricas que se aproximan a la estructura prototípica de un planteamiento del problema pareciera no corresponderse con los objetivos que deben plantearse los investigadores.

Voter Education on Radio as Determinant of Voting Pattern of Indigenous Elderly Women in Akoko Land, Ondo State, Nigeria
Authors: Ayimoro Oluwatoyin Dorcas 
Published: May 2020

Indigenous Nigerian society respect and believe so much in her elderly. Males and female elderly are transmitters of traditional norms and values in a sustainable manner in each community. As such, they are the sage and kingmakers appointing, decision makers through careful and flawless selection from character check overtime, delving into family history and divination of the traditional oracle. After coronation, such leaders are never corrupt; they live up to expectation by promoting the wellbeing of the masses. However, this practice has been eroded by colonization and westernization for a democratic way of appointing leaders through voting; as such countries design voter education for her citizenry. This study thus examined voter education as a determinant of voting pattern of indigenous elderly women in Akoko land through these research questions: (i) what is the demographic characteristics of the elderly women in the study area? (ii) What kind of voter education programmes is available on the selected radio stations? (iii) What is the level of participation of the women on the programme on radio? (iv) To what extent has the women benefited from their participation in voter education programme on radio? (v) How has the voter education received influenced the voting pattern of the women? The study adopted the descriptive survey research through multi stage sampling technique by purposively selecting sixty indigenous elderly women from areas of the four Local Government ( Okorun, Ese, Agbaluku, Iwaro-Oka, Supare, Oba, Erusu, Okeagbe. Findings of the study showed that voter education in the study area impacted minimally on the respondents resulting in their skewed knowledge and voting pattern (Grand mean 2.71+2.46+2.19+2.13=116.9/4=29.2). It is recommended among others that voter education should include indigenous education, a larger coverage and quality.

Laughter, Ethnicity, and Socialist Utopia
Authors: Wang Ban 
Published: May 2020

Examining the 1959 film Five Golden Flowers (Wuduo jinhua), this chapter claims that eulogistic comedy propagates the principle of national unity in ethnic diversity by rallying popular passion and joy, and that a new comic aesthetic arose in Mao’s era from an understanding of the dignity of labor. The new comedy challenges the shopworn dichotomy between the official and unofficial, the ethnic and the national, the lighthearted and the serious. In the 1950s through 1960s, far from being in opposition to the official, the comic is to bridge the gap between ethnic diversity and the emergent nation-state in search of socialist identity in the international arena. Rather than defined by ethnicity and culture, film comedy encourages men and women’s equal participation in socialist labor and the fun-filled ordinary life of love and work. The socialist concept of the Chinese people offers the image of an inclusive world where different ethnic groups can live together and mingle without domination.
Comparison between radiofrequency ablation and sublobar resections for the therapy of stage I non-small cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis
Authors: Chen Shuang , Yang Shize , Xu Shun , Dong Siyuan 
Published: May 2020

Background
Sublobar resection (SLR) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are the two minimally invasive procedures performed for treating stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to compare SLR and RFA for the treatment of stage I NSCLC using the meta-analytical method.

Methods
We searched PubMed and Embase for articles published till December 2019 to evaluate the comparative studies and assess the survival and progression-free survival rates and postoperative complications (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42018087587). A meta-analysis was performed by combining the outcomes of the reported incidences of short-term morbidity and long-term mortality. The fixed or random effects model was utilized to calculate the pooled odds ratios (OR) and the 95% confidence intervals.

Results
Four retrospective studies were considered in the course of this study. The studies included a total of 309 participants; 154 were assigned to the SLR group, and 155 were assigned to the RFA group. Moreover, there were statistically significant differences between the one- and three-year survival rates and one- and three-year progression-free survival rates for the two groups, which were in favor of the SLR group. Among the post-surgical complications, pneumothorax and pleural effusion were more common for the SLR group, while cardiac abnormalities were prevalent in the RFA group. There was no difference in prevalence of hemoptysis between SLR and RFA groups, which might be attributed to the limited study sample size.

Conclusion
Considering the higher survival rates and disease control in the evaluated cases, surgical resection is the preferred treatment method for stage I NSCLC. RFA can be considered a valid alternative in patients not eligible for surgery and in high-risk patients as it is less invasive and requires shorter hospital stay.

BackgroundLittle is known regarding the toxic and therapeutic doses of amygdalin. Treatment regimens and schedules can vary between humans and animal models, and there have been reports of cyanide toxicity due to amygdalin use.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of amygdalin on antioxidant gene expression and suppression of oxidative damage in mice.MethodsForty adult male mice were divided randomly into four groups (n= 10) as follows and treated orally for two weeks: a control group treated with saline solution, a group treated with amygdalin at 200 mg/kg body weight, a group treated with amygdalin at 100 mg/kg body weight, and a group treated with amygdalin at 50 mg/kg body weight. Liver and testis samples were collected for gene expression, biochemical and histopathological analyses.ResultsThe mice treated with medium-dose amygdalin (100 mg/kg) showed upregulated mRNA expression of glutathione peroxidase (P< 0.01) and superoxide dismutase (P< 0.05) and significantly decreased lipid peroxidation (P< 0.05) in hepatic and testicular tissues compared to those in the untreated groups (controls), with mild histopathological effects. The mice treated with high-dose of amygdalin (200 mg/kg) showed downregulated mRNA expression of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase (P< 0.01) and significantly increased lipid peroxidation (P< 0.05) in both hepatic and testicular tissues compared to those in the untreated groups (controls), with an apparent effect at the histopathological level. No effects were observed in the mice treated with low-dose amygdalin (50 mg/kg) at the gene, protein and histopathological level.ConclusionLow-and medium-dose amygdalin did not induce toxicity in the hepatic and testicular tissues of male mice, unlike high-dose amygdalin, which had a negative effect on oxidative balance in mice. Therefore, amygdalin at a moderate dose may improve oxidative balance in mice.

Combinatorial Testing
Authors: Morgan Joseph 
Published: May 2020

AbstractTest engineers are often faced with the challenge of selecting test cases that maximize the chance of discovering faults while working within a limited budget. The input space of the system under test (SUT) may be large, or the cost of executing the SUT for each input may be high. In any event, exhaustive testing is usually impossible, and so the engineer is faced with the challenge of sampling from the input space in such a way that the budget is not exceeded and the chance of discovering faults is high. Combinatorial testing is an approach to selecting test cases that seeks to address this challenge. This article introduces readers to the testing approach known ascombinatorial testing.

AbstractIntroductionWe examined differences in cortical thickness in empirically derived mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subtypes in the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging.MethodsWe compared cortical thickness of four incident MCI subtypes (n = 192) to 1257 cognitive unimpaired individuals.ResultsThe subtle cognitive impairment cluster had atrophy in the entorhinal and parahippocampal cortex. The amnestic, dysnomic, and dysexecutive clusters also demonstrated entorhinal cortex atrophy as well as thinning in temporal, parietal, and frontal isocortex in somewhat different patterns.DiscussionWe found patterns of atrophy in each of the incident MCI clusters that corresponded to their patterns of cognitive impairment. The identification of MCI subtypes based on cognitive and structural features may allow for more efficient trial and study designs. Given individuals in the subtle cognitive impairment cluster have less structural changes and cognitive decline and may represent the earliest group, this could be a unique group to target with early interventions.

AbstractIntroductionThe API AutosomalDominant AD (ADAD) Colombia Trial is a placebo‐controlled clinical trial of crenezumab in 252 cognitively unimpaired 30 to 60‐year‐old Presenilin 1 (PSEN1) E280A kindred members, including mutation carriers randomized to active treatment or placebo and non‐carriers who receive placebo.MethodsOf the 252 enrolled, we present data on a total of 242 mutation carriers and non‐carriers matched by age range, excluding data on 10 participants to protect participant confidentiality, genetic status, and trial integrity.ResultsWe summarize demographic, clinical, cognitive, and behavioral data from 167 mutation carriers and 75 non‐carriers, 30 to 53 years of age. Carriers were significantly younger than non‐carriers ((mean age ± SD) 37 ± 5 vs 42 ± 6), had significantly lower Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE) scores (28.8 ± 1.4 vs 29.2 ± 1.0), and had consistently lower memory scores.DiscussionAlthough PSEN1 E280A mutation carriers in the Trial are cognitively unimpaired, they have slightly lower MMSE and memory scores than non‐carriers. Their demographic characteristics are representative of the local population.
