Authors: Gabejan Alona Medalia , Eñego B. Tejas, Jr.  , Lacanaria Kristine Harion G. 
Published: May 2021

This study investigated if there would be a significant effect of using mobile-based interactive media on the word recognition and comprehension of Grade-7 students who underwent remedial reading classes because they were identified as non-readers or belonging to the frustration level of reading comprehension. It employed a standardized reading test in administering the pre-test and post-test among the students before and after utilizing the said interactive media, respectively. The test included word recognition (oral) and comprehension (written) tests to determine the reading ability of the students. The findings revealed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the students both for word recognition and comprehension. The use of mobile-based interactive media was found effective in enhancing the reading skills of students, even for those students who were already in Grade-7 and those who belonged to the Frustration Level of reading comprehension. The study recommended that a longer period of time could be allotted for remedial reading instructions while using mobile-based interactive media and that interviews could be used as a follow-up strategy in ascertaining the improvement of students’ reading skills.

Published: May 2021

The integration and application of Information Communication Technology in language teaching has become more and more prevalent in the era of 4.0, which has brought about a lot of significant influences on students’ language learning. However, having a self-led online tool which is appropriate to one’s students’ backgrounds and is free and open-access in a school in a mountainous area in a developing country like Vietnam has not yet been so popular. In the present study, for the purpose of enhancing students’ learning, online grammar exercises for 10th graders at Thai Nguyen High School, Thai Nguyen province, Vietnam, were designed in a learning management system called Chamilo. The study investigated the benefits of the platform towards students’ grammar learning achievements by identifying the changes in students’ scores as well as sought evaluative feedback from teachers and students as the users of the tool. The research instruments included a grammar test in the pre-intervention and after-intervention combined with two questionnaires for eight teachers and twenty students at grade 10 and interviews with the focus group of 5 students. The findings suggested a remarkable improvement in students’ post-test score and a significant relationship between the practice of online exercises and students’ grammar results. Furthermore, positive responses from the teachers and students on such use of the platform indicated that Chamilo could be used as learning tools to enhance students’ grammar learning.

Published: May 2021

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a serious acute respiratory syndrome that has been recognized as a pandemic disease caused by Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The complications related to coronavirus itself, physically inactive period due to symptoms of disease and lockdown may also influence the functional capacities of COVID-19 survivors negatively. It may lead to obstructions in engaging with previous activities of daily living. As a physiotherapy intervention, exercise treatment is one of the novel approaches to support these individuals after the COVID-19 treatment. However, there is limited access to physiotherapy and rehabilitation services during pandemic conditions because of lockdown, especially for infected patients. For increasing accessibility to physiotherapy and rehabilitation care, the World Confederation of Physical Therapy has published a report advising the home-based exercise interventions via Telerehabilitation. Up to date, there is no published framework for structured exercise programs for this population, yet. Since the individual differences in functional levels and possible differences in the severity of coronavirus infection, the physiotherapy, and rehabilitation exercise program should be structured individually for COVID-19 survivors. This document suggests a framework for physical therapists to put into practice an exercise training via telerehabilitation in COVID-19 survivors. The proposed framework has consisted of determination of eligible and risky COVID-19 patients for intervention, physiotherapy assessment tools, 6-week exercise prescription based on FIIT-VP principle (frequency, intensity, time, type, volume, and progression) and criteria for ending exercise.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine sleep quality and fatigue levels of patients who underwent angiography in coronary intensive care unit.
Methods: This study was performed among individuals who underwent angiography in the coronary intensive unit of a City Hospital in the center of a city in Turkey between December 15, 2018 and April 15, 2019 (n:205). Data were obtained using the Patient Identification Form, Richards-Campbell Sleep Scale, Brief Fatigue Inventory.
Results: The mean score of Richard’s Campbell Sleep Scale was 46.01 ± 18.90 in patients undergoing angiography at the coronary intensive care unit. The mean score of the Brief Fatigue Scale was found to be 4.49 ± 1.99. A negative correlation was found between the mean Richard’s Campbell Sleep Scale and Brief Fatigue Inventory and its subdimension scores. The fatigue levels were found to be increased as the sleep quality of the patients decreased.
Conclusions: It was determined that patients undergoing coronary angiography had poor sleep quality and high levels of fatigue, and this was caused by several factors. In line with these results, it is recommended to make nursing care plans and consultancy for sleep hygiene and activity planning at regular intervals for individuals at risk.

Published: May 2021

Objective: This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the correspondence between digital image analysis and spectrophotometry tooth shade results.Methods: The study population consisted of 10 patients. Office bleaching was performed using an in-office whitening. Tooth shade was analysed by spectrophotometry and image analysis of digital photographs at baseline, and at 1-week and 3-month follow-up visits. The correspondence between the two methods was evaluated based on the total color change (ΔE), calculated using lightness, chroma, and hue (LCH) values for spectrophotometry and lightness, red-green, blue-yellow (LAB) values for digital image analysis. The Mann–Whitney U, Wilcoxon signed rank and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used for the statistical analyses (p&lt;0.05). The correspondence between digital image analysis and spectrophotometry results was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).Results: At the 3-month follow-up, there were no significant differences in tooth shade results between the spectrophotometry and digital image analysis methods (p=0.855), which showed strong agreement (ICC=0.983).Conclusion: Digital image analysis may be a useful alternative to spectrophotometry for tooth shade selection.

Published: May 2021

O artigo explora a relação entre a decisão de investimento em Keynes e a pesquisa em Economia Comportamental. Para a identificação de elementos teóricos comuns entre essas duas abordagens, suas contribuições são brevemente recuperadas na história do pensamento econômico. A discussão desenvolvida contrasta elementos que sustentam as duas correntes, promovendo uma leitura de seus aspectos teóricos complementares: (i) racionalidade e incerteza; (ii) heurísticas e convenções; (iii) decisão individual e decisão de investimento. Isso permite uma compreensão mais profunda dessas propostas, e um entendimento melhor acerca: (1) do papel da subjetividade na Economia Comportamental a partir da utilização do conceito de heurísticas na análise da decisão de investimento em Keynes; e (2) dos aspectos psicológicos apontados por Keynes que explicam como elementos que influenciam a decisão de investimento (taxa de juros, por exemplo), não são determinantes nas escolhas. O trabalho sustenta uma complementariedade da Teoria dos Prospectos e a Contabilidade Mental com a análise psicológica de fatores apontados por Keynes como fundamentais na decisão de investimento: animal spirit, expectativa de retorno e taxa de juros, incerteza fundamental e a relação entre eficiência marginal do capital e taxa de juros.

Purpose: Chemical corneal injuries carry a high morbidity and commonly lead to visual impairment. Here, we investigate the role of Serp-1, a serine protease inhibitor, in corneal wound healing.Methods: An alkaline-induced corneal injury was induced in 14 mice. Following injury, five mice received daily topical saline application while nine mice received Serp-1 100 μL topically combined with a daily subcutaneous injection of 100 ng/gram body weight of Serp-1. Corneal damage was monitored daily through fluorescein staining and imaging. Cross sectional corneal H&amp;E staining were obtained. CD31 was used as marker for neovascularization.Results: Serp-1 facilitates corneal wound healing by reducing fibrosis and neovascularization while mitigating inflammatory cell infiltration with no noticeable harm related to its application.Conclusions: Serp-1 effectively mitigates inflammation, decreases fibrosis, and reduce neovascularization in a murine model of corneal injury without affecting other organs.Translational Relavence: Our study provides preclinical data for topical application of Serp-1 to treat corneal wounds.
Small Fractures Caused by the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake Sequence: Insights From 3D Coseismic Displacement and Uniaxial Loading Rock Experiments

Published: June 2021

The moment magnitude (Mw) 6.4 and 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence that occurred on July 4 and 6, 2019, ruptured a conjugate fault system within the eastern California shear zone. In addition to the ∼50 km surface ruptures, the sequence activated a series of structures with lengths ranging from 1 to 10 km, which are well illuminated by phase gradient maps of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferograms. The deformation patterns and mechanisms of these fractures have been well studied, yet the controlling factors of their spatial distribution are less discussed, which are important for understanding how the accumulated strain is releasedviadistributed faulting in the earthquake cycle. Here, we use multi-source SAR images to derive three-dimensional (3D) surface displacement along the main ruptures and the east–west strain across the detected small fractures caused by the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence. We find that the distribution of these fractures is related to the displacement pattern along the main rupture. Specifically, more fractures appeared in areas with larger slips normal to the main rupture as well as in the junction of the conjugated ruptures. We also conduct uniaxial loading rock experiments to evaluate the strain distribution before the samples were broken. Rock experiments show that rupturing of a conjugated fault system may produce local strain concentration along the main rupture, indicating the important role of the orthogonal faults in generating small fractures with different striking angles and deformation patterns. The 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence exhibits complicated crust behaviors by rupturing an immature fault system, implying that the simple elastic rebound theory may be insufficient to model the coseismic deformation during the earthquake cycle, particularly in the zone with weak crust.
