This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the physical and mechanical properties of wood-fiber boards of the wet production method when regulating the design and technological parameters of the grinding process. This allowed us to determine the influence of the working clearance between the grinding discs and the concentration of fibre mass with the subject to of quality change wood fiber after defibrator using the developed construction of the disc fibrillation action on the physico-mechanical properties of boards. As a result of the experiment, regression models were obtained that adequately describe the studied grinding process and allow predicting the values of physical and mechanical properties of the finished product depending on the established parameters process. A comparative analysis of the size and quality characteristics of the fiber semi-finished product and its fractional composition when using a developed construction the disc of refiner fibrillation action and a traditional design used in industry is carried out. The preferential efficiency of the grinding process under the fibrillating effect the disc of refiner in comparison with the traditional construction disc of refiner is established. As a result, there is a significant improvement in the quality indicators of the fiber semi-finished product and its composition due to the formation and predominance in the total mass of long and thin, respectively, flexible fibrillated fibers with high tile-forming properties, which allows to increase the strength properties of the product (by 20–25%), without using binding resins.

The purpose of this work was to assess the suitability of solid and liquid waste generated during processing of the vegetative part of poplar as substrates for biochemical processing in order to obtain biologics for various purposes. For the study, we used post-extraction residues, as well as a cubic liquid formed after distilling essential oils and extracting alcohol-soluble substances from the vegetative part of the balsamic poplar (Populus balzamifera L.). Siberian strains of fungi of the genus Trichoderma used as a biodestructor.
Studies have shown that the vegetative part of poplar and its individual elements are an available substrate for the growth of mycelial fungi. The high yield of spores (4.5×109 spor/g) and the formation of humic substances (11%) used as plant growth stimulators during solid-phase cultivation of the MG-97 strain of Trichoderma fungi gives grounds to use the vegetative part of poplar as a technological raw material for obtaining a biological product of the "Trichodermin" type or soil humification. Depending on the purpose of the preparations, the duration of cultivation can vary: for obtaining agricultural biologics up to 15 days, more – for soil humification. The inclusion of a cubic liquid at the stage of substrate humidification allows to obtain a biological product with a higher spore titer (5×109 spor/g), makes it possible to close the water consumption cycle and make the technology of processing the vegetative part of poplar waste-free.

The effect of plant raw materials delignification with an 18% solution of peracetic acid under microwave irradiation at a frequency of 2450 MHz on the degree of ordering of the cellulose supramolecular structure was studied. The samples of the obtained cellulose were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. It was found that microwave heating reduces the rate of ordering of the cellulose supramolecular structure in the process of delignification of wood and straw of annual plants with peracetic acid. In general, the delignification products obtained under microwave irradiation with a treatment time of 30 min are characterized by lower values of the ordering index (0.64–0.79) compared to cellulose samples obtained using heating by thermal conductivity (water bath, 100 °С) at processing time 60 min (0.70–0.86). The IR spectra of cellulose samples obtained with the use of heat conduction heating are characterized by a slightly higher intensity of the band at 1372 cm-1 in comparison with the delignification products obtained under microwave irradiation. It has been shown that the degree of ordering of the cellulose supramolecular structure under the studied delignification conditions is determined by the peculiarities of the composition of the feedstock and the polysaccharides supramolecular organization in the native state. For cellulose obtained from wood and straw, different dependences of the values of the ordering index on the heating method and the residual content of hemicelluloses are characteristic.

This case study research studied the complex construct of aliteracy in upper elementary students. Six students were selected from the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, after the analysis of the following quantitative sources: report card grades, standardized test scores, and the Motivation to Read Questionnaire (MRQ) results. After the selection of students, qualitative data was provided by the six students, eleven parents, and five classroom teachers. Questionnaires, interviews, observations, and reading logs comprised the qualitative data, which was analyzed using grounded theory methods. The Emergence of Aliteracy Theory emerged as a result, which clarified how the home and classroom environments produce a unique set of commonalities that underpin the emergence of aliteracy, and possibly impact students’ academic learning.
Educational Inclusion By Conviction
Authors: Tomé José Manuel Salum 
Published: January 2021

Inclusive education has begun to be addressed within the context of the broader international debate on “Education for All” (EFA), a debate launched at the World Conference held in 1990 in Jomtien, Thailand. From Jomtien until today , thinking has evolved from the almost symbolic presence of special educational needs in the initial documentation, towards the recognition that inclusion must be a fundamental principle of the EFA movement as a whole. Within this process, the contribution of the Salamanca Declaration on Special Educational Needs: Access and quality (Unesco, 1994) stands out, from which the concept of educational inclusion emerges strongly. Thereafter thescope and perspectives of inclusive education has been based on the idea that all children and young people have the right to a quality education with equivalent learning opportunities, regardless of their social and cultural background and their differences in skills and abilities (OIE -UNESCO, 20 08) .

Authors: Goh Chu Hiang 
Published: January 2021

Target Audience Personas (TAP) is a new target audience study method for the graphic design process which adopted from the user personas in information studies. The goal of the TAP is to facilitate graphic designer to understand the behaviour and attitude of their target audience in a more profound level to create design outcomes which can evolve the affordance and behavioural change. Personas allow designer engaged in empathy process whereby they can design according to the needs and preferences of the target audiences. In order to explore the acceptance of designers to the TAP in the design process, acceptance research based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was conducted. A group of design students who engaged TAP in their design projects has participated in the study. The result showed that majority of the students consider TAP is useful and easy to use. They anticipate using TAP in their future design career endeavour.
Chinese migrant parents' educational involvement: Shadow education for left-behind children
Authors: Peng Baiwen 
Published: January 2021

AbstractAs rural people keep migrating to cities in China over the past few decades, tens of millions of children have been left behind by their parents. In this study, I investigated how Chinese migrant parents involve in their left-behind children's education through the theoretical lens of concerted cultivation and the accomplishment of natural growth. I drew on qualitative data from left-behind children, migrant parents and teachers collected at a rural primary school in Sichuan Province. Most migrant parents involved in this study migrated to a less developed area in Tibet. Their voices are a valuable addition to the literature that has so far focused on those going to developed cities. It was found that shadow education is a major channel through which the parents involved in their left-behind children's education. The parents could 1) exercise concerted cultivation and variously use shadow education, 2) hope to meaningfully involve but were constrained by multiple barriers, or 3) exercise natural growth and leave their children to themselves. I interpreted these patterns with a view to China's evolving culture, ideology and social structures. I conclude by discussing sociological implications of these patterns, and theoretical contribution to the literature.

Published: January 2021

This study aims to determine the effect of Islamic corporate governance and slack resources on sustainability reporting of Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia and Malaysia from 2015-2018. The corporate governance in this study consists of sharia supervisory board, the size, board of directors meeting, and audit committee. This is a quantitative study that used secondary data such as the annual and sustainability report. The reporting proxy was measured by the content analysis method which consisted of 78 items from the six dimensions adopted disclosure of AAOIFI. Furthermore, the analysis technique used was panel data regression with Random Effect Model (REM) as the estimation model. The results showed that the sharia supervisory board has a negative effect on sustainability reporting, while the board size, audit committee, and slack resources have a positive effect. Meanwhile, the board of directors' meeting has no effect on sustainability reporting. Therefore, the related government agencies such as Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (Financial Service Authority/FSA) and Bank Negara Malaysia are able to consider that the regulation related to the composition of sharia supervisory board for banking is in line with international ideal standards.

Objective: Pomegranate juice is inhibitor of CYP450 enzyme system such as CYP2C9 and CYP3A4. The objective of the present study was to determine the consequence of pomegranate fruit juice on the pharmacokinetics of oral hypoglycemic drug nateglinide in rats.
Materials and Methods: This is a laboratory study to investigate drug-food interaction effects of Punica granatum fruit juice (3 ml) and nateglinide (in doses 10 and 20 mg/kg body weight, p.o.) in live animals where the effects of food drug interaction on pharmacokinetics parameters such as Cmax and AUC in vehicle and nateglinide and pomegranate juice and nateglinide treated rats was undertaken. Four groups of Wistar albino rats comprising of (n=5) animals in each group were taken and treated with vehicle and nateglinide (in doses 10 and 20 mg/kg body weight, p.o.) pomegranate juice (3ml, p.o.) and nateglinide (in doses 10 and 20 mg/kg body weight, p.o.).
Results: The rats which were administered with pomegranate juice + nateglinide (in doses 10 and 20 mg/kg body weight, p.o.) showed raised Cmax to 2.85 fold and 2.21-fold respectively and an increase in AUC was found to be 1.34 fold and 1.47 fold respectively, when vehicle + nateglinide 10mg/kg and vehicle + 20mg/kg drug treated groups were compared. The results were compared at P-value< 0.01.
Conclusion: A significant drug interaction was observed when nateglinide and pomegranate juice was administered indicating caution must be exercised when such food and drug is co-administered as the chance of more hypoglycemia may occur due to this potential drug-food interaction.

Objective: Exercise and herbal medicine Berberine are known as anti-inflammatory agents. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 4-weeks of endurance training and Berberine Chloride (BC) consumption on inflammatory factors and glycemic index in male wistar diabetic rats.
Materials and Methods: In an experimental trial, 36 male wistar rats divided into 6 groups of 6 rats including 1) control, 2) 15 mg/kg BC, 3) 30 mg/kg BC, 4) endurance training, 5) endurance training with 15 mg/kg BC and 6) endurance training with 30 mg/kg of BC. During 4 weeks, rats in groups 2, 3, 5, and 6 received BC by gavage at specified doses, and rats in groups 4- 6 also ran on the treadmill at speeds of 10-15 m/min for 10-30 minutes. For statistical analysis of data-independent sample T-test, two-way ANOVA were used (P-value= 0.05).
Results: Training and BC significantly increased function of pancreatic beta cells and reduced FBS, TNF-α, and IL- 6 (P-value= 0.001); Training significantly increased VO2max and insulin; interaction of training and BC on an increase of VO2max and reduction of TNF-α were significant (P-value= 0.001) and 30 mg/kg BC reduced TNF-α and FBS much more than 15 mg/kg BC (P-value= 0.001).
Conclusion: It appears that Endurance training and BC can decrease glycemic index and inflammatory markers of diabetes and the effects of BC is dose-dependent, so that the 30 mg/kg BC is more effective rather than the 15 mg/kg BC.

Published: January 2021

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused more than 60 million confirmed cases and approximately 1.5 million deaths all over the world as of December 1st, 2020. So it’s important to predict the clinical course of infected patients and to prevent the disease course from worsening with early intervention.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the new generation inflammation markers such as NLR, MPV and RDW in predicting the need for intensive care of COVID-19 patients.
Methods: The retrospective cross-sectional study included 112 patients whose hemogram parameters were checked simultaneously with the diagnosis of COVID-19, hospitalized in public hospitals in Antalya province between March 16th and June 15th, 2020. Patients treated in the intensive care unit and treated only in the ward were compared according to laboratory data, and the predictive effect of study parameters on the need for intensive care was investigated.
Results: Of the patients 43.8% were female and 56.3% were male. The average age was 49.48 ± 17.12 years. The percentage of patients admitted to the intensive care unit was 19.6% and, died was 5.4%. While MPV was found to be statistically significantly lower in COVID-19 patients who need intensive care, NLR and RDW were found to be statistically significantly higher. Decreased MPV and increased NLR were determined as independent risk factors for ICU admission. In addition, the optimal cut-off value was calculated as ≤ 10.4 for MPV (with 77.27% sensitivity and 66.67% specificity) and > 5.3 for NLR (with 72.73% sensitivity and 91.11% specificity) in predicting ICU admission.
Conclusion: NLR, which is checked at the first admission in patients with suspected COVID-19, is an easy, fast, cheap and very valuable test in determining the severity of SARS-CoV2 infection and predicting the need for intensive care.

Published: January 2021

Introduction: Early screening for preeclampsia and IUGR using Doppler ultrasound may allow vigilant antenatal surveillance, early diagnosis, proper treatment, and appropriate timing of fetal delivery in order to avoid serious sequelae. The present study was to evaluate the predictive value, sensitivity, and specificity of uterine artery Doppler at18-20 weeks of gestation with regards to the development of preeclampsia using pulsatility index as a parameter.
Methods: A total of 100 females between 18-20 wks of gestation were included in the present Prospective observational study was carried out in Obstetrics and Gynecology department at tertiary care hospital from June 2010 to June 2012.
Results: In the low-risk group, an early diastolic notch was present in 5(10%) females, out of these 3(60%) developed PIH, and 4(80%) developed IUGR. The pulsatility index was abnormal in 8(16%) women. Out of these 5(62.5%) developed PIH and 3(37.5%) developed IUGR. In the high-risk group, an early diastolic notch was present in 8(16%) females, out of these 7(87.5%) developed PIH, and 6(75%) developed IUGR. The pulsatility index was abnormal in 9(18%) women, where 6(66.6%) developed PIH and 8(88.88%) developed IUGR.
Conclusion: Abnormal uterine artery Doppler at 24 weeks of gestation was a statistically significant predictor of PIH in both low-risk and high-risk groups.

Abstract
Background The capacity of the liver to restore its architecture and function assures good prognoses of patients who suffer serious hepatic injury or cancer resection. In our study, we found that the P53/miR-34a/SIRT1 positive feedback loop has a remarkable negative regulatory effect, which is related to the termination of liver regeneration. Here, we described how P53/miR-34a/SIRT1 positive feedback loop controls liver regeneration and its possible relationship with liver cancer.Method We performed partial hepatectomy (PH) in mice transfected with adenovirus (Ade) overexpressing P53 and adenovirus-associated virus (AAV) knock-downing miR-34a. LR was analyzed by liver weight/body weight, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels and cell proliferation, and the related cellular signals were investigated. Bile acid (BA) levels during LR were analyzed by metabolomics of bile acids. Results We found that the P53/miR-34a/SIRT1 positive feedback loop was activated in the late phase of LR. Overexpression of P53 terminated LR early and enhanced P53/miR-34a/SIRT1 positive feedback loop expression and its proapoptotic effect. Mice from the Ade-P53 group showed smaller livers and higher levels of serum ALT and AST than control mice. While knock-down of miR-34a abolished P53/miR-34a/SIRT1 positive feedback loop during LR. Mice from anti-miR-34a group showed larger livers and lower levels of PCNA-positive cells than control mice. T-β-MCA increased gradually during LR and peaked at 7 days after PH. T-β-MCA inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis via facilitating the P53/miR-34a/SIRT1 positive feedback loop during LR by suppressing FXR/SHP. Conclusion The P53/miR-34a/SIRT1 positive feedback loop plays an important role in the termination of LR. Our findings shed light on the molecular and metabolic mechanisms of LR termination and provide a potential therapeutic alternative for treating P53-wild-type HCC patients.

Abstract
Perception of aversive sensory stimuli such as pain and innate threat cues is essential for animal survival. The amygdala is critical for aversive sensory perception, and it has been suggested that multiple parallel pathways independently relay aversive cues from each sensory modality to the amygdala. However, a convergent pathway that relays multisensory aversive cues to the amygdala has not been identified. Here, we report that neurons expressing calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the parvocellular subparafasicular thalamic nucleus (SPFp) are necessary and sufficient for affective-motivational pain perception by forming a spino-thalamo-amygdaloid pain pathway. In addition, we find that this thalamic CGRP pain pathway, together with well-known parabrachio-amygdaloid CGRP pain pathway, relays multisensory innate threat cues to the amygdala. The discovery of unified pathways that collectively gate aversive sensory stimuli from all sensory modalities may provide critical circuit-based insights for developing therapeutic interventions for affective pain- and innate fear-related disorders.

Abstract
Earth’s equatorial ionosphere exhibits significant and unpredictable day-to-day variations in density and morphology . This presents difficulties in preparing for adverse impacts on technological systems even 24 hours in advance . This behavior is now theoretically understood as a manifestation of thermospheric weather, where conditions in the upper atmosphere respond strongly to changes in the spectrum of atmospheric waves that propagate into space from the lower and middle atmosphere, modifying the electrodynamic environment that exerts control over the creation of plasma . The NASA Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) makes the first coordinated space-based observations of the wind-driven dynamo and the plasma state to understand the relation of the plasma environment to the thermospheric weather below. Here we show the first direct measurements of the effects of a wind-driven dynamo in space, where a clear relationship is found between the vertical plasma velocities measured at the magnetic equator near 600 km and the thermospheric winds much farther below, with substantial correlations found between the plasma velocity and thermospheric winds during each of several successive precession cycles of the observatory’s orbit. Prediction of thermospheric winds in the 100 – 150 km range emerges as a key to improved prediction of the Earth’s plasma environment.
