Authors: Pham Huong Thi , Nguyen Giang Chau Thi , Nguyen My Thanh , Nguyen Quynh Anh Thi , Che Linh Hai 
Published: September 2021

The CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate) approach was originally developed for engineering education programs. However, this approach has also been adopted to support non-engineering programs. This paper aims to discuss the implementation of the CDIO approach in teacher training programs in a university in Vietnam. Five tests focusing on assessing students’ competence of lesson plan preparation, lesson planning, teaching organization, student learning assessment, and teaching portfolio management were developed and administered to the experimental group of 40 last-year students and the control group of 40 last-year students. When the data were collected and analyzed with the assistance of the SPSS statistics, the p-value was .000 (p=.000 p < .05), which means that the experimental group and control group had statistically meaningful difference. The results of this study show that students enrolling in programs that implemented the CDIO approach performed better than those who enrolled in programs without the support of the CDIO approach.

Authors: Wichanpricha Thitirat 
Published: September 2021

As for a recent learning platform as synchronous online learning through Microsoft Teams (MS Teams) in Academic English course based on particular three learning domains, very few previous studies were conducted and explored in Thailand and Asia. Due to the unending epidemic of COVID-19, the pedagogy in EFL context at every level of educational institutes has to be shifted to an online approach that has never been implemented in Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna Tak (RMUTL Tak), Thailand. The current study has mainly addressed the research gap by determining underlying cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects in synchronous online learning. Therefore, this paper aimed to investigate perceptions and difficulties of synchronous learning in Academic English course through MS Teams. Academic English skills are not only acquired during the early years of Thai educational system but also at tertiary level. RMUTL Tak has currently provided an Academic English course as a mandatory subject that every undergraduate student has to pass this course before graduation. Promoting synchronous learning to Academic English course allows students have greater learning motivation. In the study, two hundred and fifty four undergraduate students studied in three faculties comprising Business Administration and Liberal Arts, Engineering, and Sciences and Agricultural Technology at RMUTL Tak. They were all enrolling in an Academic English course in the first semester, academic year 2020. Additionally, an online questionnaire including twenty one items and one open-ended question was employed in the study. All obtained data was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings revealed that most of the participants have positively perceived synchronous learning as their fruitful online platform. Nonetheless, it was found that poor internet signal was considered as a dominant factor preventing them from learning online.

Exploring the Experiences of Postgraduate Students in the Field of Special Education with Remote Online Teaching Amid COVID-19 Pandemic: A Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Hemdi Alyaa 
Published: September 2021

The spread of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on many parts of life, including education. Instructors, students, and institutions across the world were forced to close their doors and shift to online distance learning in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation for social distancing. This study aims to explore the experience (challenges and benefits) of Saudi postgraduate students in the field of special education relating to the sudden shift to online distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. An embedded mixed methods design with a great emphasis placed on the qualitative strand, while the quantitative strand took a secondary role. Online learning readiness was assessed using a scale with (n=37) postgraduate students, then interviews were conducted with (n=9) postgraduate students. Postgraduate students in the Kingdom Saudi Arabia were found to have a high level of readiness and were highly confident and highly motivated for online learning during the pandemic. The most frequently mentioned challenges found in this study included technical difficulties. It was also found that despite the challenges faced by the students, they still preferred virtual classes over traditional face-to-face lectures, as they are flexible and convenient. Study results lead to a better understanding of postgraduate students’ adaptation to online learning in emergency situations. Additional improvements including refining the difficulties, strengthening the current advantages, and listening to students’ experiences and suggestions would lead to more successful remote teaching in the future.

Published: September 2021

In general, bullying has negative effects on victims, including increased anxiety, decreased self-esteem, self-distrust and depression. These things will affect to the concentration of student learning which ultimately leads to decrease learning achievement and more risk of suicide in adolescents. Therefore, developing the resilience of youth victims of bullying is needed to provide therapeutic coping to avoid these adverse effects. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Spiritual-based psychoeducation therapy on the Level of Resilience of Youth Victims of Bullying. This is quasy experimental pre-post test research with total sampling. The sample is high school students who have experienced bullying in the past month, are physically healthy, and have no disabilities. The sample of this study was 50 and has been divided into two groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. This research used questionnaire’s ability of resilience in adolescents by Gail M wagnild and Heather M. Young. The results showed a significant effect of psychoeducation spiritual therapy on the level of adolescent resilience (p-value is 0.000 by Kolmogorov Smirnov). Schools need to consider this therapy as a choice to be applied to student victims of bullying.
Comparative characteristics of sports vocabulary in the Russian and Uzbek languages for lingual-didactical purposes
Authors: Цой М.К. 
Published: September 2021

В статье рассматривается классификация и анализ дифференциального и общего в спортивной лексике русского и узбекского языков, что является одним из важнейших условий научно обоснованной разработки методики ее усвоения учащимися-билингвами, системы формирования как лексико-грамматических, так и коммуникативных умений и навыков. Предпринята попытка условно разделить спортивный пласт лексики на три группы. В первую группу слов отнесены слова, передающие обозначения одних и тех же понятий в русском и узбекском языках. Во-вторую группу вошла лексика, частично различающаяся как графически, так и по грамматической функции. Третью, наиболее многочисленную группу составляет спортивная лексика, совершенно разная по звуковому облику и написанию в русском и узбекском языках.
The article discusses the classification and analysis of the differential and the common in sports vocabulary of the Russian and Uzbek languages. It is considered to be one of the most important conditions for the scientifically grounded development of a methodology for its assimilation by bilingual students, and of a system for the formation of both lexical and grammatical, and communicative skills. An attempt has been made to conditionally divide the sports vocabulary layer into three groups. The first group of words includes those that convey the designations of the same concepts in the Russian and Uzbek languages. The second group included vocabulary partially differing both graphically and in grammatical function. The third and most numerous group is sports vocabulary which is completely different in sound appearance and spelling in the Russian and Uzbek languages.

A continuous monitoring of leafhoppers in a pear orchard (Pyrus communis L.) of Santa Maria variety, located in Khemis Miliana in northwest Algeria for a period of 7 months from February to August 2019, revealed a species, Platymetopius notatus Fieber, earlier having been reported from Europe (Spain, Portugal). The species is reported in two African countries (Morocco and Tunisia).
The species is recorded for the first time from Algeria and is re-described and illustrated along with the male and female genitalia structures for the first time.
TaxoTracker: A collaborative platform for taxonomic resource maintenance
Authors: Dowdy Nicolas J. 
Published: September 2021

Taxonomy is foundational to all biological sciences. Names allow us to organize and communicate information about biological groups. This process is critical for understanding and preserving the biodiversity of our planet. There are an estimated 8.7 million extant eukaryotes (Mora et al. 2011) and possibly as many as 1 trillion microbial species (Locey and Lennon 2016), with untold numbers of extinct taxa yet to be discovered in the fossil record. Accounting for all these taxa and maintaining their nomenclatural resources is one of the great challenges in biology.
A few major hurdles in overcoming this challenge are the inability to find, share, and update taxonomic resources efficiently in real time. Efforts to standardize and continually update taxonomic names in a sustainable way have been limited. The problem is complex, and solutions must deal with the large backlog of names, a constant stream of new names, the confusing merging and splitting of taxonomic synonyms, the subjective nature of taxonomic concepts, and the fundamental limitations on available expertise and curators' time to prepare and maintain such resources. Hyperdiverse groups such as arthropods are especially challenging as there are relatively few experts on any given lineage and changes in taxonomy can be rapid as new species are continually being discovered and described.
After struggling to wrangle taxonomic resources in support of specimen digitization efforts, I began development of TaxoTracker as a proof-of-concept, web-based platform for facilitating expert curation and dissemination of biological taxonomies. TaxoTracker is still in development, but its current and planned functionalities will be shown through a combination of demonstration and discussion. TaxoTracker identifies and implements features that attempt to simplify the production and maintenance of expert-curated resources, while also limiting the responsibilities that are placed on individual experts who are often already overburdened and underfunded. These features include:

Centralized, searchable, and easily obtained resources in useful formats

Community-driven, citation-based curatorial suggestions

Expert-reviewed curatorial recommendations

Consensus-driven curatorial decisions

Effort tracking and credit for suggestions and reviews

Catégoriser les races pour mieux les compter et les comparer : une ethnographie des conditions d’élaboration des « statistiques populaires » du CRAN
Authors: Bouadjadja Jawad 
Published: September 2021

À partir d’une participation ethnographique à un projet de statistiques ethnoraciales mené par les militants du Conseil représentatif des associations noires de France (CRAN) en 2015, cette recherche analyse la manière dont les catégories ethnoraciales peuvent constituer des ressources mises au service d’un raisonnement statistique à des fins militantes. En mobilisant la sociologie de la quantification et du « statactivisme » cet article interroge les opérations de définition et de classement des catégories ethnoraciales. Il montre notamment la manière dont une pratique de catégorisation ethnoraciale profane et militante a pu faciliter la quantification de la réalité en appui à la dénonciation des discriminations raciales.
Careers in context: analysis of career trajectories of PhD holders outside of academia
Authors: Canolle Fabien 
Published: September 2021

Pourquoi, dans un contexte institutionnel où frontières et manières de produire la connaissance entre le monde universitaire et d’autres organisations s’amenuisent, les carrières vers les organisations hors secteur universitaire après le doctorat peinent à émerger, certains doctorants préférant rester «tristes» dans des contrats temporaires et des files d’attente pour accéder à la profession académique ? Cette recherche interroge 20 diplômés de doctorat de l’Université de Lyon qui travaillent actuellement dans des entreprises privées, pour comprendre leur trajectoire de carrière. La recherche s’appuie sur une littérature dans les courants des carrières qui met l’accent sur les contextes pour comprendre la construction et les changements de carrière ; et sur la théorie de l’activité (TA), pour montrer comment l’objet de l’activité de recherche doctorale se transforme à travers la trajectoire de carrière des diplômés de doctorat vers l’entreprise privée. A l’aide de la technique des récits de vie et d’un cadre d’analyse basé sur la TA, je montre ce qui est commun aux trajectoires de carrière vis-à-vis de l’objet du travail de recherche (dimensions et transformations) et comment les jeunes docteurs re-conceptualisent progressivement l’objet de leur travail dans leur parcours, là où une exigence émotionnelle est forte. Les communautés, les instruments, l’histoire de vie et la division du travail sont à la fois des ressources et des sources de tensions à travers la trajectoire. Cette recherche montre que les jeunes docteurs réalisent un travail épistémique mouvant sur leur carrière en même temps qu’ils produisent de la connaissance scientifique. L’objet de leur travail se stabilise lors de l’entrée dans l’entreprise. Cette recherche contribue à la connaissance sur les trajectoires de carrière des jeunes docteurs en dehors du secteur académique et à la conceptualisation du contexte sur les recherches sur les carrières, à l’aide de l’AT, et établie quelques recommandations pratiques pour les universités.

Published: September 2021

The need for specialists with high-performance computing skills is growing day by day. This is due to the fact that the high-performance process of processing big data is one of the most pressing problems today. This is especially important in science, economics, physical modeling, medicine, bioinformatics, weather forecasting, etc.
This article analyzes the conditions for teaching high-performance computing, the experience of leading universities in the world, and it is established that teaching high-performance computing requires study. High performance computing training was carried out on 3 different hardware equipment (a personal computer, a supercomputer “Param-Bilim” India – Kazakhstan Centre of Excellence in ICT [IKCOEICT] at L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University and a quantum computer in the cloud IBM Quantum Experience) using different algorithms in the C ++ and Phyton programming languages. The effectiveness of the calculation results in the educational process was determined as a result of the completed questionnaire.
Cyberchondria
Authors: Gandla Sujana Devi , Dayala Prasanth P. , Kadiyala Pavan Kumar 
Published: September 2021

Background:
It is common among medical students to incorrectly believe that they have contracted certain diseases they have recently studied. This belief can be seen in the form of health anxiety and investigating health-related information via the Internet. Cyberchondria denotes repeated online searches for health-related information that are associated with increasing levels of health anxiety.

Aims:
We aimed to study the prevalence and severity of cyberchondria among medical students and its correlation with sociodemographic and clinical data.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 consented medical students using online Google Forms. The form included demographic and clinical details and the Cyberchondria Severity Scale-15 (CSS-15) questionnaire. Means and standard deviations were calculated for continuous variables and percentages for categorical variables. The k-means clustering was done for grouping the participants. Spearman correlation and linear regression were done for analyzing the data.

Results:
The mean age of the participants was 19.28 ± 1.75 years. Females constituted 54.3% of the sample. About 24.5% of the students had previously diagnosed (medical/surgical/psychiatric) illness. The mean score of the CSS was 30.86 ± 9.44. Three clusters with 28%, 66%, and 6% of the students represented the CSS cluster center scores of 19.22 (mild), 34.10 (moderate), and 49.63 (severe), respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between total CSS score and previously diagnosed illness (r = 0.233, P = 0.000) and negative correlation with age (r = −0.151, P = 0.003) and year of study (r = −0.254, P = 0.000).

Conclusion:
The increasing prevalence of cyberchondria is an example of how digital technology may play an important role in facilitating the development of psychopathology.
Comparison between McGrath and Macintosh Laryngoscopes as an Educational Tool for Successful Intubation by Novice Airway Managers
Authors: Vareed Githin M , Korula Sara Vergis , Menon Girijanandan D , George Manjit , Philip Sam , Victor Sruthy 
Published: September 2021

Background:
The Macintosh (MAC) laryngoscope has been the gold standard for teaching intubation till date. This manikin-based study was conducted to determine whether McGrath™ videolaryngoscope (VL) (McG) is comparable to MAC laryngoscope as an educational tool for novice airway managers.

Material and Methods:
A randomised cross-over manikin-based trial was conducted in a group of 44 final-year medical students. After training for intubation with both laryngoscopes, the students were randomised to Group MAC or Group McG to decide which laryngoscope would be used first. The total time for intubation, number of attempts for successful intubation, ease of visualisation and ease of intubation were assessed.

Results:
The median time for intubation was 40 s (interquartile range [IQR] 16.5–93.5) for the MAC group and 35 s (IQR 17.5–54.5 s) for McG group (P = 0.22). First attempt success was significantly more in the McG group. Ease of visualisation and ease of intubation were significantly better in the McG group (P ≤ 0.05).

Conclusion:
The McGrath™ VL appears to be superior to MAC laryngoscope as an educational tool for training novice airway managers in endotracheal intubation.
Comparative Evaluation of Salivary-Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Product (sRAGE) Levels among Betel Chewers and Chronic Periodontitis Patients
Authors: Chandini Rajkumar , Vasanthi V. , Karthik K Raghavendhar , Rajkumar Krishnan 
Published: September 2021

Background:
Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are heterogeneous groups of molecules formed from the nonenzymatic reaction of reducing sugars with free amino groups of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Activation of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) by ligands in a variety of cell types and tissues may play a role in oral-systemic associations. The aim of the study is to estimate the salivary-soluble RAGE (sRAGE) levels in betel chewers and compare with salivary sRAGE levels of chronic periodontitis and normal healthy controls.

Methods:
Detailed case history and clinical examination was done for the study participants based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Study participants were grouped as Group I (chewers), Group II (chronic periodontitis), and Group III (normal controls). Unstimulated saliva samples were collected and salivary sRAGE levels were calculated using the sandwich ELISA technique.

Results:
Individuals with pan chewing habits have demonstrated increase in salivary sRAGE compared to chronic periodontitis and normal controls.

Conclusions:
Understanding AGE formation and biochemistry, cellular receptors for AGE, and AGE-induced effects on extracellular and intracellular functions will serve to expedite the process of finding effective therapies that block the excessive accumulation of these species and their interaction with the signal transduction receptor RAGE.
