Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the class of split regular BiHom-Poisson color algebras, which can be considered as the natural extension of split regular BiHom-Poisson algebras and of split regular Poisson color algebras. Using the property of connections of roots for this kind of algebras, we prove that such a split regular BiHom-Poisson color algebra

AbstractRice is the main staple food after wheat for more than half of the world’s population in Asia. Apart from carbohydrate source, rice is gaining significant interest in terms of functional foods owing to the presence of aromatic compounds that impart health benefits by lowering glycemic index and rich availability of dietary fibers. The demand for aromatic rice especially basmati rice is expanding in local and global markets as aroma is considered as the best quality and desirable trait among consumers. There are more than 500 volatile aromatic compounds (VACs) vouched for excellent aroma and flavor in cooked aromatic rice due to the presence of aromatic hydrocarbons, aldehydes, phenols, alcohols, ketones, and esters. The predominant VAC contributing to aroma is 2 acetyl-1-pyrroline, which is commonly found in aerial parts of the crop and deposits during seed maturation. So far, literature has been focused on reporting about aromatic compounds in rice but its extraction, characterization, and quantification using analytical techniques are limited. Hence, in the present review, extraction, characterization, and application of aromatic compound have been elucidated. These VACs can give a new way to food processing and beverage industry as bioflavor and bioaroma compounds that enhance value addition of beverages, food, and fermented products such as gluten-free rice breads. Furthermore, owing to their nutritional values these VACs can be used in biofortification that ultimately addresses the food nutrition security.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
In this article, the ultrasensitive analysis of single-walled boron nitride nanotubes (SW-BNNTs) with an extra attached mass is studied by employing atomistic analysis technique. Numerical examples are carried out for vibration characteristic of SW-BNNT with an extra attached mass. Our results show that the vibration frequencies and magnitudes of SW-BNNT are very sensitive to the extra attached mass. In addition, the influence of length and chirality of SW-BNNT on the vibration frequencies and magnitudes of SW-BNNT with an extra attached mass are also examined in detail. This investigation indicates that SW-BNNTs have a great potential in the field of sensor technology.
WORLDSKILLS RESPONSE TO TRANSVERSAL SKILLS
Authors: Shackleton Jenny , Messenger Sally 
Published: July 2021

Developing and maintaining the skills of an increasingly global workforce is a challenge all governments face, particularly as the world emerges from the effects of the2020/21 pandemic. Coupled with the impact of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” working lives are changing at an unprecedented rate. This article looks at the critical role of transversal skills in enabling ‘employability’, as traditional occupations reconfigure, shift and new roles rapidly appear. Whilst definitions and classifications vary it is agreed that transversal skills are those which an individual can apply across all work roles and life situations, - they are a platform for flexibility, adaptability, and progression.
For over 70 years WorldSkills International (WSI) has been working with governments to raise the profile of technical and vocational education (TVET), principally through a biennial global skills competition focusing on excellence. In recent years WSI has been investing in a strong research base working with global partners such as the OECD, ILO and UNESCO. In 2012 it began a project to develop WorldSkills Occupational Standards (WSOS). This article plots the journey WSI has taken to strengthen and embed transversal skills within its standards to ensure the currency of the Competition and more widely drive global skills development forward.

AbstractDolphin morbillivirus (DMV) is a pathogen of great concern in free-ranging cetaceans. Confirmation and staging of morbillivirus infections rely on histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC), following molecular detection. As at the present time no specific antibodies (Abs) against DMV are available, two heterologous Abs have been used worldwide for the examinations of morbillivirus infections of cetaceans. One is a monoclonal Ab (MoAb) prepared against the N protein of canine distemper virus (CDV), whereas the other is a polyclonal Ab raised in rabbits against rinderpest virus (RPV). Both Abs are known to show cross-reactivity with DMV. In this study we compared the labelling quality and the neuroanatomical distribution of staining with these two Abs by means of IHC analysis. To this end, serial sections of the target organs from ten free-ranging stranded cetaceans, previously diagnosed as being infected with DMV by PCR and/or serology, were subjected to IHC. The brain, lungs and lymph nodes of one animal were found to be positive with both Abs. From two other animals, the brain and the spleen, respectively, tested positive only with the polyclonal Ab. In the positive brain tissues, multifocal immunostaining was observed, with similar staining location and extent, with the two antibodies tested. Our results suggest that the polyclonal anti-RPV Ab might have a stronger binding activity to DMV than the anti-CDV MoAb. Nevertheless, the elaboration and use of specific anti-DMV Abs might be essential to guarantee conclusive results in diagnostic and pathogenetic investigations.
Recalibrating Everyday Space: Using Section 24 of the South African Constitution to Resolve Contestation in the Urban and Spatial Environment
Authors: Coggin Thomas 
Published: July 2021

Positioned as existing predominantly within a green agenda, the right to an environment (section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996) presents numerous opportunities for rights-based interpretation in the "brown" urban and spatial environment. In this article I conduct such an exercise, focussing on both the right to freedom of movement (section 21 of the Constitution) and the right to the safety and security of the person (section 12 of the Constitution). I begin by drawing out the historical and contemporary spatial implications of both rights, drawing on empirical research that demonstrates how the enclosure of everyday space through gating practices and private securitisation in the South African city serves to extend spatial apartheid into the current day. A siloed interpretation of both rights, however, leads to an impasse between the two. Both rights are prima facie of an equal value in a constitutional setting.
To resolve this standoff, I argue for the use of the environmental right as a constitutional value. This is an underutilised right in the South African Constitution, and yet it holds much promise given how it seeks to protect the health and wellbeing of both present and future generations.
There are two benefits to employing the environmental right as a constitutional value. First, the environmental right situates both section 12 and section 21 in a symbiosis of individual claims to shared resources, in the process recalibrating the human ecology of the urban and spatial environment away from the centrality of dominant actors and towards a polycentricity of interests. In so doing, section 24 provides a fuller and more connected picture of both rights.
Second, the duty implicit in the environmental right reveals how to begin realising these rights on a wider scale that goes beyond individual injustices and towards community justice. I argue strongly that this duty exists on the state: left unattended to, everyday space becomes the preserve of those with the means – financial or otherwise – to shape space according to their own anti-public interests. In this regard, I present two instances of policy and legal choices available to the state that serve to undo contemporary experiences of spatial apartheid

Authors: Adesuwa Imafidon 
Published: July 2021

This paper is a conceptual paper aimed at examining the effect of corruption on the development of vocational education in Nigeria. The paper reviews the relevant literature such as the concept, different levels, forms and origin of corruption. The concept of vocational education, the relationship between vocational education and corruption and the consequences of corruption on the development of vocational education in Nigeria are also examined. Some strategies for combating corruption and some of the efforts of the government to fight corruption were also looked at. In conclusion, a direct link between corruption and vocational education is established; some recommendations were suggested, which include that in order to reduce corruption, the government must have the political will to initiate and sustain the fight against corruption.

Iranian English as a foreign language teachers’ personality types and classroom management orientations: A correlational study
Authors: Heidari Laya , Parvaresh Shiva 
Published: July 2021

Language learners’ achievement relies to a great extent on what goes on inside the classroom. The teacher personality types (PTs) and their classroom management orientations (CMOs) play a critical role. The present study intended to explore Iranian English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ major PTs and CMOs. Sixty EFL teachers were chosen through the convenience sampling method from foreign language institutes in Isfahan, Iran. They were asked to complete two questionnaires including the Myers–Briggs type indicator and the Behaviour and Instructional Management Scale. Descriptive analysis and Fisher’s exact test were conducted to answer the research questions. The results showed that the extroverted–sensing–thinking–judging (ESTJ) type was the most frequent PT and the interactionalist approach was the major CMO among Iranian EFL teachers teaching at language institutes. The results enhance the understanding of EFL teachers and directors of language institutes on the PT as one crucial factor related to EFL teachers’ behaviour management approaches.

Published: July 2021

Objective: to reveal technical nuances for obtaining high-quality images using a computed tomography protocol with pneumogastrography and virtual gastroscopy, which contribute to the detection and assessment of the morphological type of gastric cancer and to the determination of its localization and invasion depth.Material and methods. The investigation enrolled 250 patients with both early (24.8%) and locally advanced (75.2%) gastric cancer treated in Petrov National Medical Research Center for Oncology from 2015 to 2018. Preoperative chemotherapy was performed in 142 (56.8%) patients and was not done in 108 (43.2%). All the patients underwent preoperative computed tomography with pneumogastrography and virtual gastroscopy. All the patients were radically operated on through subtotal or total gastric resection.Results. Computed tomography with pneumogastrography and virtual gastroscopy was used to detect gastric cancer in 98.4% of patients; the cases with early T1a and T1b invasion depth cancers were 23.2%. The tumor could not be significantly differentiated in 4 (1.6%) patients. This group consisted of: 3 (1.2%) and 1 (0.4%) patients with pT1a and pT1b invasion depth tumors, respectively. All non-visualized tumors had a superficial morphological type of growth (Type 0–II (3 cases with 0–IIa and 1 case with 0–IIb); their sizes were less than 2 cm. Three tumors were localized in the antral portion of the stomach; one was in its cardiac portion.Conclusion. Computed tomography with pneumogastrography and virtual gastroscopy is an effective technique to detect gastric cancer, including its early types of category T1, which makes it possible to assess its localization, morphological type, and invasion depth.

The level of poverty in a Regency/city in South Sulawesi in 2017 is different. The grouping of poverty status can be done based on the value of the HeadCount Index (HCI) of South Sulawesi. Factors affecting poverty will differ for each area being observed. The statistical modeling method developed for data analysis by taking into account the location factor is semiparametric Geographical Weighted Logistic Regression (GWLR). The GWLR semiparametric Model consists of parameters that are affected by the location and not affected by the location. The parameter estimator of the GWLR semiparametric model used in this research was obtained using the maximum method likelihood estimation. The result of a semiparametric model of GWLR each district/city in South Sulawesi in 2017 has the value Estimator parameter for global parameters is the same value for each location, namely, a3 = 0.1724, a4 = 0.0204, and a6 = 0.0261 whereas the parameter estimator for local parameters has different values so that GWLR semiparametric model of each district/city.

Published: July 2021

Case:
A 59-year-old man, immunosuppressed after renal transplant, presented with a painful posterior thigh mass concerning for malignancy, as well as pulmonary and posterior chest wall nodules. Cultures and mass spectrometry identified Nocardia paucivorans. The patient underwent operative irrigation and debridement of the posterior thigh and chest wall, with 12 months of antibiotic therapy.

Conclusion:
A 2-week delay in appropriate treatment was due to low suspicion for infectious etiology. Since cultures generally take weeks for positive diagnosis, advanced molecular or biochemical methods should be used. This case demonstrates importance in maintaining a high index of suspicion for nocardiosis in immunocompromised patients with soft-tissue masses.

Abstract
Rationale: It is unclear whether the timing of dexamethasone initiation is associated with positive outcomes. Objectives: To evaluate the appropriate timing of systemic dexamethasone initiation in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Methods: A multicenter, non-interventional cohort study including adults with COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) received systemic dexamethasone between March 2020 and January 2021. Patients were divided into two groups based on the timing for dexamethasone use (early vs. late). Early use is defined as the new initiation of dexamethasone within 24 hours of ICU admission. Propensity score matching was used based on the patient’s SOFA score, MV within 24 hours of ICU admission, proning status, and tocilizumab use during ICU stay. Results: A total of 480 patients were included in the study; dexamethasone was initiated early within 24 hours of ICU admission in 367 patients. Among 202 patients matched using propensity score, 101 had received dexamethasone after 24 hours of ICU admission (1:1 ratio). The 30-day mortality (OR [95%CI]: 1.82[1.04, 3.19], P=0.04) and in-hospital mortality (OR [95%CI]: 1.80[1.03, 3.15], P=0.04). Among the non-mechanically ventilated patients, late use of dexamethasone was associated with higher odds of developing respiratory failure that required MV (OR [95%CI]: 3.8 [1.41, 10.3], P=0.008) Conclusion: Early use of dexamethasone within 24 hours of ICU admission in critically ill patients with COVID-19 was associated with mortality benefits. Moreover, dexamethasone's early use might be considered a proactive measure in non-mechanically ventilated critically ill patients with COVID-19, to prevent further complications.

Abstract
Background: To reduce the global burden of tobacco, clinical guidelines support behavioral and pharmacotherapy as preferred intervention for tobacco cessation. While behavioral intervention such as advice from health care provider with brief or intensive intensity has consistently shown to be impactful compared to no intervention. The current study aims to investigate efficacy of a behavioral intervention package on patients attending tertiary care setting for change in tobacco cessation behavior.Methods/Design: A two arm randomized controlled trial shall be performed to ascertain the differential impact of various behavioral change approaches on the tobacco use status of patients in hospital settings. 574 patients fulfilling the eligibility criteria shall be included for the intervention of 3 months duration and shall be followed for a period of 12 months. To validate the self-reported tobacco abstinence urinary cotinine assessment will be performed. Discussion: As no strong evidence exists about the effectiveness of tobacco cessation intervention in tertiary settings, thus the feasibility of its implementation by health professionals in these settings is a matter of concern. Therefore, the current study will build evidence about the feasibility of interventions in such settings. Trial Registration: CTRI/2019/09/021406
Sexuality and Quality of Life in Eastern Taiwan People With Schizophrenia

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background: A proper sexual functioning and a satisfying intimate relationship is one of the components for a high quality of life (QoL). However, sexuality among the chronically and/or those who suffer from mental illnesses are not a widely researched or discussed topic. The aim of the study is to explore the association among brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS), QoL, Taiwanese depression questionnaire (TDQ), sexual desire (SD) in people with schizophrenia (PwS).Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with 277 psychiatric inpatients. A descriptive analysis, difference analysis and logistic regression model were presented to identify relevant variables that may affect the probability of good QoL. Finally, we used structure equation model to explore the association of BPRS, TDQ, SD and QoL. Results: The mean age of the sample was 43.82±8.43 years old. Quality of life has no significant difference in the obesity and gender of PwS, but male PwS had higher scores of SD than female PwS. For participants with smoking, early illness onset age, shorter illness duration there was a significant higher SD. The logistic regression analysis showed BPRS, depression and SD significantly affected the probability of QoL. By SEM, SD would be positivity correlated with mental status and that SD would indirectly influence QoL. Conclusions: Our results showed that the QoL and SD of the PwS are often associated with interaction between psychological and sociological factors. This study also supports the idea of a close relationship between SD, depression and BPRS. Besides, these factors may predict the probability of good life quality for the PwS.
