Paisagem Sonora de Emma
Authors: Pinheiro Sara 
Published: May 2020

Esta peça é parte de uma instalação audiovisual de vários ecrãs, concebida pelas artistas visuais Mieke Bal e Michelle Williams-Gamaker. A instalação é baseada no romance de Flaubert Madame Bovary (1856). Emma (Madame B.) é uma ouvinte atenta e sensível ao ambiente que a rodeia. A banda sonora (quer na instalação, quer na longa-metragem) foi desenvolvida através de uma série de motivos sonoros que servem como caracterização sonora da personagem. Escutar estes motivos sonoros é um exercício de “focalização sonora”: os objectos que a caracterizavam fa-lo-iam sonoramente também. A paisagem sonora de Emma reflecte os sons acumulados de uma vida individual, que simultaneamente forma e limita o espaço que a define. Estes sons marcam e traçam a história da personagem, eventualmente delineando ‘a sua expansão no mundo tanto quanto a sua reclusão no mesmo’.
Deve ser ouvida preferencialmente com monitores, desde que não haja mais sons a interferir. A peça deverá ocupar uma sala vazia.
Language Has No Positive Terms
Authors: Prescott-Steed David 
Published: May 2020

This sound art composition is a meditation on the arbitrariness of linguistic signs and the idea that language has no positive terms: "signs have no special right to mean something in particular and not something else" (Bignell: 9). As a first-time father, the interactions I have with my four-year-old daughter are mostly related to my responsibility to facilitate her sensory exploration of the world around her. This includes supporting her formalisation of linguistic expression and numeracy skills through story recall and construction, number identification, and pattern/rhythm awareness. These language-based learning activities benefit early childhood development by progressing a child's social awareness, confidence and resiliency. A tension exists, therefore, between the power of language as a vital navigational tool and the unassailable instability of meaning.
As a creative response, this composition features extracts from audio recordings of our conversations. The fragments of utterances, like the synthetic buzzing that returns and haunts, shift between audibility and inaudibility, meaning and non-meaning. Each time it's played, digital audio technology brings our absence into the present; we become acousmatic textures inside the body of the listener who "cannot listen away as one can look away" (Connor: 133), oscillating the small bones in the middle ears and sending electrical signals to the brain . Through this treatment of language, we may be emptied of meaning but not of the positive meaningfulness of our interactions.

Published: May 2020

<p class="00-6Abstrak2Wtz">African swine fever (ASF) is a highly infectious disease in pigs that caused by the double-stranded DNA virus of the Asfarviridae family. The disease is characterized by haemorrhages in the ears, back and legs. This virus causes death in pigs and has a large economic impact. However, ASF is not a zoonotic disease, hence it has no an impact on human health. This paper will discuss about ASF disease, route of transmision, how to diagnose, and handling of ASF. This disease has spread throughout Asia in a relatively short time in 2019, and this exotic disease has been reported entering Indonesia at the end of 2019. There is no effective prevention and control of the disease. Several vaccines have been developed but are still considered ineffective while commercial vaccines are not yet available. Safety and effectiveness of vaccines are still being considered because ASF virus is very unique and different from other DNA viruses,. Therefore, prevention of ASF infection should be done by conducting strict biosecurity, applying regulations on the movement of pigs and pig products to the region or country.</p>

Published: May 2020

<p>The integration of livestock with plantations is one of efforts to support livestock agribusiness. The large potential land area can be used for the development of cattle. However, the low production, nutrient content and digestibility of natural grasses in the plantation are still an obstacle to increase cattle productivity. Therefore, the development of shade tolerant of forages is one of the strategies to improve the quality and production of forages in the plantation area. This paper aims to review the role of <em>Stenotaphrum secundatum </em>as a shade tolerant forage in oil palm plantations in supporting cattle productivity. Biomass production of <em>Stenotaphrum secundatum </em>obtained was relatively high at 42,209 kg DM/ha/yr in oil palm plantations aged 3.5 years, estimated to be able to accommodate cattle of 11.8 AU/ha. With a moderate composition of nutrition, it can improve cattle growth performance with an average body condition score of 3.8. The livestock integration system by developing <em>S. secundatum </em>in the oil palm plantation area has a positive effect because it can reduce fertilizer and weeding costs of 4 million IDR/ha/yr. The average production of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) reaching 19.5 tons/ha/yr. It can be concluded that the role of <em>S. secundatum </em>in oil palm plantations can support cattle productivity and increase palm oil production.</p>
DEVELOPMENT OF E-HEALTH IN AUSTRIA, BULGARIA, CROATIA, ESTONIA AND SLOVAKIA
Authors: Georgiev Angel 
Published: May 2020

Electronic health services (e-Health) are now a fixed element of the health care system and cover a wide range of applications, such as the electronic health insurance card, the health record and an overview of medications, plus telemedicine. A prerequisite for this is the secure transmission of medical data for preventive medicine, diagnosis, treatment and the ongoing support of patients in the form of text, sound recordings and/or images.
Uneven development of eHealth solutions within the EU27 remains a major obstacle in providing European citizens with a satisfying access to cross-border healthcare and the main challenge for the EU is harmonizing the systems. The slow shift of the paradigm centralizing the role of the patient will become more rapid making our assumptions about the savings thanks to the technology even more conservative than they are. Building on the trust that Europeans have in health institutions and the way they convey themselves is essential.
Registration and promotion of monumental olive trees in Greece.
Authors: Koniditsiotis Stavros 
Published: May 2020

The history of the olive tree, its cultivation and its products is known for centuries. Some olive tree have survived over millennia and their history dates back to antiquity. In many cases, it is related to mythology and religion. The olive tree is associated with folk tradition, people's everyday life, and customs. In Greece, monumental olive trees are found in the Peloponnese, Crete, Euboea, Chios, Pelion and Attica. This paper explores and describes the particular morphological features such as shape, size, wood, cavities and age, as well as the cultural characteristics such as historical or religious events, myths and traditions that define an olive tree and characterize it as monumental. The main aim of our research is to examine the key position that monumental olive trees and their materialistic and symbolic manifestations consist a natural and cultural heritage as well. In this framework the study focuses on various key issues related to monumental olives trees and their natural, historical, social and cultural value.
Perceptions of government stakeholders on ageing and assisted care in the Cape Coast Municipal Area
Authors: Aboh Irene 
Published: May 2020

Aim: To explore the perceptions of government stakeholders on assisted care for the aged in a Metropolis, in Ghana.
Method: This is a qualitative sub-study of a larger study on developing a model for the care of the aged in the Cape Coast Metropolitan area. The following questions were put to the key informants: Have you noticed an increase in the number of the aged in the communities? What are government plans for the aged? How is the welfare and the caring from traditional attention, what is your view on the introduction of assisted care in Ghana? Data was collected through key-informant in-depth interviews with 10 government stakeholders directly in charge of policy implementation in the metropolis. Data collection took place over a period of four months from October 2016 to January 2107. The interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim, coded and analyzed.
Findings: There were no preparations made for ageing, the government had plans and strategies for aged care. Traditional caring provision is inadequate and the concept of assisted living is regarded with mixed feelings. Some informant described assisted caring as an unaccepted practise that should not be encouraged.
Conclusion: Those implementing the policies are not certain of the feasibility of the programme. Awareness of assisted living should be promoted so that the community can make their own decisions.
The Health and Well-being of Low Paying Jobs in Southern Africa: Case Study of Security Guards in Zambia
Authors: Tayali Esnart Mwaba , Sakyi Kwesi Atta 
Published: May 2020

As concerns for employee well-being across all sectors increase, security guards in Southern Africa and the rest of Africa at large attract less attention in human resource management. Well-being is pivotal for positive psychological feeling of workers, and also conducive for economic growth. Employee well-being has positive effects on company performance, profitability and growth. Therefore, employee well-being is a cardinal factor across the globe. Security guards, like any other employees, deserve decent conditions of service, which promote their overall well-being. Youths who lack sufficient funds to pursue tertiary education in universities end up undertaking the most affordable short courses in order to see them through employment, as they are desperate for incomes to sustain themselves and families. The commonest affordable short courses in Southern Africa include those found in jobs such as security guards, carpentry, tailoring, and cookery. Amongst the most affordable short courses, youths prefer security guard training due to its high job market demand. The health, safety, and quality of the physical environment, as well as the low subsistence wages for Security guards leave much to be desired. The labour standards of security guards in Africa are unthinkable, unsatisfactory and atrocious. This study aims at introducing essential recommendations in order to improve the well-being of security guards in southern Africa. The paper adopted a qualitative research approach by gathering information from security guards working in five different security firms in Zambia.
Criteria for rapidly incorporating online instruction into traditionally in-person programs: a case study
Authors: Samsa Greg , Grambow Steven 
Published: May 2020

Given the continuing uncertainty about the COCID-19 pandemic, we are planning for the possibility that, in the upcoming semester, some or all of the content of a Master of Biostatistics program will be delivered online. In order to help make this rollout as systematic as possible, we propose criteria which an effective online-enabled educational program should meet. We will incorporate online instruction into our program when: (1) it is necessary and/or educationally beneficial; (2) it can be delivered with sufficient technical quality; (3) instructors have been trained to deliver it sufficiently well; (4) both content and delivery undergo regular review; and (5) policies are in place to support online instruction.

These criteria are not unique to graduate programs in biostatistics and, thus, we are presenting this short report and case study in the hope that it will be beneficial to others as they consider and/or prepare for transition to online instruction.
Knowledge Management in Libraries and Information Centers: A Bibliometric Perspective
Authors: Jain Priti 
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this paper is to provide a bibliometric perspective of Knowledge Management (KM) literature in libraries for the past 21 years (1998-2019), based on Web of Science core collection bibliographical database. The objectives of the paper are to examine a bibliometric profile of publications in the field of KM in libraries and analyze the emerging research trends in KM research in libraries and information centers through Keyword co-occurrence. This study used bibliometric and citation analysis methods to explore the profile and research trends in knowledge management research in libraries. A total of 83 sources were retrieved via Web of Science’s core collection database using the terms “Knowledge Management, Libraries, Information centers, librarians, information professionals”. Data was analyzed through Web of Science’s Clarivate Analytics, then exported to Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer for production of images and graphs. Findings revealed that the most research outputs were produced in year 2018 mostly in article forms and the University of South Africa led in contribution to knowledge management research in libraries. Findings also determined top 10 prolific authors and publishing sources; most research were produced by United States, followed by South Africa. As most KM research is carried out on perceptions, predictions and benefits of KM in libraries and information centers not on KM practice in libraries and its impact on the quality of library services. This has implication on KM practice in libraries and information centers. Practicing librarians are unable to apply KM emulating success stories and best practices of libraries and information centers. Bibliometric studies on KM are too general, and to the best knowledge of the researcher, none of them so far gives a clear view of research trends of KM in libraries. Hence, this might be the first study to fill this gap, which only analyzed a sample of documents which are more relevant to the scope of the study.

The faculty have developed and enhanced their knowledge and skills in teaching in order to adopt with the demands of 21st century learners. It is suggested that faculty members should continue to enhance their 21st century skills such as developing and applying new pedagogies in teaching and learning; and implementing design thinking and system thinking for educators.
Chemical senses: a context-based approach to chemistry teaching for lower secondary school students
Authors: Edelsztein Valeria C. , Tarzi Olga I. , Galagovsky Lydia 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The Context-Based Science Education (CBSE) approach promotes the inclusion of scientific concepts in everyday situations. In this work, we present a non-traditional context-based teaching experience on the subject of chemical senses that seeks, through a unique didactic instrument, to generate cognitive conflicts in order to promote conceptual change from “common sense” to science-based ideas. This experience encourages the active role of the students and involves simple experiences with everyday materials. It was carried out with 95 students from 12 to 15 years old. The contents developed during the experience were focused on taste and smell and the concepts of perception and sensation. The activities were designed to promote students’ self-awareness on their previous knowledge in order to achieve a sustainable learning by constructing appropriate scientific concepts. Assessment of students’ motivation for learning and their conceptual change – from common sense ideas to science based ideas – was done through an initial survey and a post-test. Students’ perception on their commitment and enjoyment about the approach has been evaluated through a metacognitive poll. The results show that the activities were highly motivating and that students were aware of their improvement in knowledge and their own commitment to the task throughout the entire experience.
Organic chemistry lecture course and exercises based on true scale models
Authors: Lederle Felix , Hübner Eike G. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
3D models of chemical structures are an important tool for chemistry lectures and exercises. Usually, simplified models based on standard bond length and angles are used. These models allow for a visualized discussion of (stereo)chemical aspects, but they do not represent the true spatial conditions. 3D-printing technologies facilitate the production of scale models. Several protocols describe the process from X-ray structures, calculated geometries or virtual molecules to printable files. In contrast, only a few examples describe the integration of scaled models in lecture courses. True bond angles and scaled bond lengths allow for a detailed discussion of the geometry and parameters derived therefrom, for example double bond character, aromaticity and many more. Here, we report a complete organic chemistry/stereochemistry lecture course and exercise based on a set of 37 scale models made from poly(lactic acid) as sustainable material. All models have been derived from X-ray structures and quantum chemical calculations. Consequently, the models reflect the true structure as close as possible. A fixed scaling factor of 1 : 1.8·108 has been applied to all models. Hands-on measuring of bond angles and bond length leads to an interactive course. The course has been evaluated with a very positive feedback.
Teaching introductory chemistry through world cultural heritage history
Authors: Horikoshi Ryo 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
The present article details a quiz-style lesson for teaching three introductory chemistry concepts: the cleavage of rock salt as well as the oxidation and malleability of metals, through the history of chosen world cultural heritage sites, including the Wieliczka Salt Mine, the Statue of Liberty, and the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto. The described lesson comprises three questions aimed at promoting critical thinking. The responses to the designed questions were made by the students working in groups. While revealing the correct answers, three simple demonstrations were conducted to entice the students and to enhance their understanding of the discussed chemical concepts. The lesson was favorably received by the students and helped them to relate relevant chemical concepts to real-world situations.

Published: May 2020

Abstract

Background
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV2), is an ongoing pandemic that has already affected millions of patients worldwide, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality burden. Although the clinical and laboratory characteristics of this illness have been reported in patients from China and Europe, data are scant in the United States.

Methods
We extracted data regarding all patients hospitalized at our hospital with COVID-19 infection between March 1 and April 4, 2020. Presenting signs and symptoms, laboratory and imaging findings, treatment, and complications were recorded from electronic medical records (EMRs). The primary composite endpoint was admission to intensive care unit (ICU), shock, or death.

Results
We had a total of 43 patients tested for COVID-19 at the emergency room (ER) or during hospitalization, 16 (37%) of whom were admitted with COVID-19 infection. The mean age was 65.5 years and 75% were males. The most common presenting symptoms were fever (94%), cough (88%), and dyspnea (81%). A loss of smell and taste sensations were reported by three (19%) patients. Low oxygen saturation was present in 38% of patients, whilst 31% were hypotensive on admission. Hyponatremia (50%), elevated C-reactive protein (CRP; 100%), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; 80%) were common. Acute renal failure, myocardial injury, and elevation in aminotransferases occurred in 69%, 19%, and 38% patients, respectively. The primary composite endpoint occurred in 50% of patients. A total of three patients died; all were aged 70 years or older.

Conclusions
Laboratory abnormalities and acute renal failure were common in hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV2 infection in our center. Admission to ICU and mechanical ventilation were common.
Bacterial nanobiotic potential
Authors: Wagi Shabana , Ahmed Ambreen 
Published: May 2020

AbstractAntibiotics are the chemicals responsible for killing pathogenic bacteria but inappropriate and extensive use of antibiotics is hazardous causing adverse impact on human health. Excessive use of antibiotics has led to the development of multiple-drug resistant bacteria posing health hazards to mankind. The study of nanoparticles has revolutionized the problem solving concerns regarding fields of agriculture, chemistry and medicine. Nanoparticles are smaller than atomic nuclei offering more surface area and greater reactivity. Bacterial silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were studied for their antibacterial potential. AgNPs from Bacillus subtilus show the highest antibacterial activity. Nanoparticles exhibiting antibacterial activity can be helpful to reduce the toxic impact of synthetic antibiotics. Present work deals with the green production of silver nanoparticles by exploiting indigenous bacteria. These AgNPs were characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV spectroscopic analysis and were also evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal potential. The data suggested the extracellular biosynthesis method to be very effective for the biosynthesis of AgNPs in some bacterial strains. Keeping in view the antibacterial potential of studied AgNPs, the present work suggests green production of nanoparticles which can be effectively utilized as environment friendly antibacterial and antifungal agents.
