Authors: Maftukah Siti , Astuti Puji 
Published: June 2021

Textbook is a tool which functions as a manual instruction in any branch of study included in language learning. Therefore, teachers should select an appropriate English textbook to support the learning activity because it have a big influence in the learning process. This study is about strategies of EFL teachers at a vocational high school in Semarang for selecting appropriate English textbook. The main purpose of this study was to investigate teachers’ strategies in selecting appropriate English textbook and dr. This study drew from the teachers regarding their criteria in selecting appropriate English textbook. Hence, this is a qualitative study that investigate the EFL teachers as the subjects. In collecting the data, we used open ended interview, questionnaire, and document analysis checklist. This study eployed theory of Garinger (2002) and BNSP by Permendikbud (2013) to analyse the data in order to know the strategies and the criteria used by the teachers in selecting appropriate English textbook. Based on the interview and the questionnaire, the finding showed there are some strategies in selecting appropriate textbook: teacher matched the textbook with the 2013 curriculum, read the KI, KD, Syllabus and learning objective. The data showed that all teachers select textbook based on their chosen, so that they were free to choose their textbook to support learning activity. However, some teachers select textbook by involving administrator and head school. There are also some textbook criteria there are: considering the goals and curriculum, textbook series, learning objective in the textbook, the age and background of the students, the availability and the effective cost. Based on the document analysis checklist, this research showed that the criteria of appropriate textbook in line with the Garinger (2002) and 2013 curriculum aspects based on BNSP. Next, the teachers also considered about the price of the textbook that must be cost effective and the textbook is easy to obtain. We argue that the identified strategies and criteria can be used as a consideration by English teachers to selectan appropriate English textbook.

Published: June 2021

La variabilidad genética intrapoblacional de Vultur gryphus (cóndores andinos) de las regiones de Cusco y Apurímac fue evaluada mediante amplificación y secuenciación del ADN mitocondrial correspondientes a la región control y subunidad ribosomal 12S (D-Loop-ARNr12S), y a los genes Citocromo Oxidasa subunidad I (COI) y NADH deshidrogenasa subunidad II (ND2). El ADN se extrajo a partir de cálamos de plumas de muda de ejemplares en cautiverio y silvestres. Se analizaron los principales índices de diversidad genética como son: la diversidad haplotípica, la diversidad nucleotídica, el número promedio de diferencias nucleotídicas y el número de sitios polimórficos. La tasa de éxito de amplificación mediante PCR fue de 100% para las tres regiones de ADN analizadas. Se secuenció 600 pb de la región D-Loop-ARNr12S caracterizándose cuatro haplotipos, 704 pb del gen COI caracterizándose seis haplotipos y 1090 pb del gen ND2 caracterizándose cinco haplotipos. El gen COI presentó el mayor valor de diversidad haplotípica (Hd = 0.468), la región del gen D-Loop-ARNr12S presentó el mayor índice de diversidad nucleotídica (π = 0.00086), mientras que el gen COI presentó el mayor número promedio de diferencias nucleotídicas (K = 0.52615). Los resultados muestran bajos niveles de variabilidad genética en los genes mitocondriales de los cóndores andinos de la zona de estudio, que indicarían una población con estructura genética homogénea.
Perceptions of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve Neighborhood in Montreal: a Textual Analysis of Written Medias.
Authors: Paré Sylvie , Mounier Sandrine 
Published: June 2021

A number of authors have documented increased diversification and gentrification in a variety of central city neighborhoods. In Montreal, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is among those with the highest rates of gentrification in the past few decades, creating new social dynamics and often generating socio-territorial conflicts.
What is the significance of social changes for the population of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve? What role does recent immigration play in the mitigation or development of social conflict? In this paper we present the results of the analysis of 1 420 articles taken from the six principal daily newspapers published in Montreal.
In our target neighborhood, it would appear that the higher socio-economic status of the newcomers is more disruptive than their ethnocultural background because it is associated with a change in the way people live, shop and interact in public space. The data also reveal disruptive effects on the availability of affordable housing, a feature that means increasing displacement of lower income populations.

Published: June 2021

Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this research is to investigate the perceptions of the learners about the use of the non-verbal language of teachers in an ESL class. This study aims to highlight the role played by non-verbal language in the class by raising awareness about the importance of gestures, physical appearance, and paralinguistic features of the English teachers.
Methodology: This research employs a mixed methodology. A questionnaire, consisting of 37 close-ended questions is used to record the views of the learners about the use of the non-verbal language of their English teachers. Moreover, qualitative interviews are conducted to find out the learners’ opinion and their awareness concerning the use of non-verbal language by their English teachers.
Main Findings: The findings indicate that learners hold a positive attitude towards the teachers who use NVL more frequently. Respondents say that they feel more motivated and interested in the class when the teacher looks at us more frequently and move in the class. According to Neuro-linguists, learning of the language can be enhanced by a drastic level if the teacher can grasp the visual attention of the students while oral communication. Therefore, it is to conclude that learners consider the non-verbal language along with paralinguistic features, extremely constructive in the ESL classroom. They find it encouraging and it aids them in comprehending the content.
Application of this Study: The current research will help the practicing language teachers to upgrade their oral communication skills by incorporating the nonverbal cues productively in their classrooms. Furthermore, teacher trainers can make their trainees aware of the importance of the nonverbal part of communication in the ESL classroom either informal lectures or pragmatic preparation.
Novelty/ Originality of this study: This study is unique in the sense that it focuses on the role played by the Non-verbal language particularly in the class where English is taught as a second language. It unveils how the integration of nonverbal language along with oral communication can make English language classroom more industrious and productive.
The Financing of the University of Rome (15th-16th centuries)
Authors: Frova Carla 
Published: June 2021

Se aprecia en los últimos años un interés creciente en la historiografía por las universidades que se desarrollaron en territorios de la Iglesia Romana a finales de la Edad Media. Si bien podemos afirmar que existieron universidades papales en la edad moderna no fue así en la Edad Media. Los trabajos sobre la universidad de Perugia, también sobre la universidad de Roma, dejan ver el dualismo entre ciudad y curia, entre el trabajo académico y la tutela papal, entre la gestión municipal, la vida de la ciudad y la presencia de la iglesia. Y, si nos centramos en la financiación de la Universidad de Roma, también surgen cuestiones relacionadas con el papel de los gobiernos municipales en la determinación de las políticas financieras de la universidad. Este artículo abordará la financiación del Studium Urbis por parte de las autoridades públicas para observar la capacidad de gestión de la misma en las coordenadas específicas y espaciales de la Universidad de Roma.

Abstract
The ability to incorporate information about feedback is critical for associative learning. The medial temporal lobe (MTL) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) are thought to be involved in processing feedback as new associations are learned. However, the relative contributions of these regions to feedback processing and subsequent memory performance in humans are poorly understood. To address this question, we tested pre-surgical epilepsy patients with depth electrodes implanted in the MTL and PFC using a spatial memory task in which subjects learned object-location associations over time. We found increased high-frequency activity (HFA; 40-100 Hz), thought to reflect local excitatory activity, in the MTL and dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC) at feedback for high error trials. In the MTL, this HFA error signal predicted greater trial-by-trial decreases in error from one training block to the next indicating that these signals are involved in updating memory representations or modifying incorrect associations during learning. The opposite pattern of activity was observed during retrieval, with greater MTL and dlPFC HFA predicting lower error, replicating previous results from our group. Overall, these data suggest putative mechanisms for the learning of object-location associations.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common, sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Recent studies have reported an association between ZFHX3/PRRX1 polymorphisms and AF. In this study, a meta-analysis was conducted to confirm these associations. Methods The PubMed, Embase, and Wanfang databases were searched, covering all publications before July 20, 2020. Results Overall, seven articles including 3,674 cases and 8,990 healthy controls for ZFHX3 rs2106261 and 1045 cases and 1407 controls for PRRX1 rs3903239 were included. The odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] was used to assess the associations. Publication bias was calculated using Egger’s and Begg’s tests. We found that the ZFHX3 rs2106261 polymorphism increased AF risk in Asians (for example, allelic contrast: OR [95% CI]: 1.39 [1.31–1.47], P < 0.001). Similarly, strong associations were detected through stratified analysis using source of control and genotype methods (for example, allelic contrast: OR [95% CI]: 1.51 [1.38–1.64], P < 0.001 for HB; OR [95% CI]: 1.31 [1.21–1.41], P < 0.001 for PB; OR [95% CI]: 1.55 [1.33–1.80], P < 0.001 for TaqMan; OR [95% CI]: 1.31 [1.21–1.41], P < 0.001 for high-resolution melt). In contrast, an inverse relationship was observed between the PRRX1 rs3903239 polymorphism and AF risk (C-allele vs. T-allele: OR [95% CI]: 0.83 [0.77–0.99], P = 0.036; CT vs. TT: OR [95% CI]: 0.79 [0.67–0.94], P = 0.006). No obvious evidence of publication bias was observed. Conclusion In summary, our study suggests that the ZFHX3 rs2106261 and PRRX1 rs3903239 polymorphisms are associated with AF risk, and larger case-controls must be carried out to confirm the above conclusions.

Authors: Chaujar Rishu , Yirak Mekonnen Getnet 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
In this work, junctionless double and triple metal gate high-k gate all around nanowire field-effect transistor-based APTES biosensor has been developed to study the impact of ITCs on device sensitivity. The analytical results were authenticated using ‘‘ATLAS-3D’’ device simulation tool. Effect of different interface trap charge on the output characteristics of double and triple metal gate high-k gate all around junctionless NWFET biosensor was studied. Output characteristics, like transconductance, output conductance,drain current, threshold voltage, subthreshold voltage and switching ratio, including APTES biomolecule, have been studied in both devices. 184% improvement has been investigated in shifting threshold voltage in a triple metal gate compared to a double metal gate when APTES biomolecule immobilizes on the nanogap cavity region under negative ITCs. Based on this finding, drain off-current ratio and shifting threshold voltage were considered as sensing metrics when APTES biomolecule immobilizes in the nanogap cavity under negative ITCs which is significant for Alzheimer's disease detection. We signifies a negative ITC has a positive impact on our proposed biosensor device compared to positive and neutral ITCs.

Authors: El-Sesy Marwa , Aly Amira M 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
A microorganism capable of degrading cellulose present in rice straw was isolated from wastewater samples and identified as Aspergilus niger MT809753 by 18S rDNA. In the present study various cheap agronomic cellulosic wastes as (cotton seed husks, barley straw, rice straw and maize straw) were utilized as crude inducers for the cellulase enzyme production and represent the carbon source for isolates where cellulose activity was measured by (DNS) method. The highest cellulases enzyme production was obtained by fungal isolate Aspergilus niger MT809753 within 24 hours (0.532 IU/ml) using rice straw. Plackett-Burman design was used as conventional method for statistically screening of different variables. Nine variables of the production process were selected. The results illustrate those seven variables, namely as (inoculum size, substrate concentration, incubation temperature, pH, shaking conditions, and incubation time and peptone concentration) had influence with high confidence levels, while the remaining two variables did not show a significant effect on cellulase production. After using response optimization the experiment was performed and the obtained cellulase production was 1.08 IU/ml. A bench scale study was performed to examine paper industry wastewater treatment efficiency by Aspergillus Niger MT809753. Results reveal that organisms have proved their bioremediation potency in treatment of paper industry effluent. The importance of the research stems from the fact that it sheds light on the role of some fungi in the production of the cellulase enzyme. So our goal is to obtain local isolates from fungi having a high ability to produce the cellulase enzyme, as well as developing an effective treatment processes to get rid of environmental cellulosic pollution and utilization of cellulosic wastes as cheap carbon sources.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Jenteh Detention Pond (JDP) composing of north and south ponds was designed for lessen extreme floods and disaster relief. This water monitoring project was motivated by concerning hygiene contamination once the JDP is opened as a recreational water park. The Surface Water Classification and Water Quality Standards (Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency) and Bacterial Water Quality Standards (United State EPA) were evaluated and then applied to examine the yearly samples: total coliform (TC), dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N), and total phosphorus (TP). Significant correlation (0.442-0.946) between precipitation and the TC was concluded so that the South Pond should be alerted for the potential fecal contamination, once encountered torrential rains or extreme floods. Elevated DO over 130% of the corresponding saturation implied deteriorated water quality in the South Pond. High TP (0.36± 0.19 - 1.89± 0.52 mg/L) in both ponds revealed possibility of eutrophication. However, because JDP was not designed as a full-body-use recreational park, the fecal indicator in the bacterial water quality standards did not prevent the two ponds from leisure activity except flooding days. With overall statistical analysis, the water quality found be generally adequate by attaining the reference base line of Category C in the surface water classification.

Abstract
Introduction:The purpose of the study conducted within the framework of the, “Let’s Get the Kids Moving” project was to determine the association between longitudinal and transverse children’s foot arch and their body mass, gender, and age.Materials and method:T he pro-health initiative “Let’s Get the Kids Moving” was created by researchers of the Medical University and the Run for Health Foundation. A total of 655 children (51.5% boys) aged 7 - 10 years from primary schools in southwestern Poland participated in the study. The mean age of the examined pupils was 8.7± 0 .8 years. In all children, we assessed anthropometric measurements (body mass and height) and longitudinal and transverse arch of the foot under a load of their weight. A two-dimensional (2D) foot scanner (Sensor Medica, Italy) was used to examine the plantar part of the pupils’ foot.Results:The obtained data from 655 pupils revealed that excessive body mass predisposed to lower longitudinal and transverse arching. The foot shape was not differentiated by children's gender and age in the youngest age group.Conclusions:Screening of school-aged children's footprints allows for early detection of abnormalities in the shape of the pupil’s feet. This enables the implementation of further early diagnosis for the detection of functional or structural flatfoot in children.
