Film Images of Private Schools
Authors: Resnick David 
Published: September 2024

The public debate over private education is examined in one of its most influential forms, the Hollywood dramatic feature film. The four recent films highlighting private schools portray them as homogeneously negative, even on those dimensions which private schools feel themselves strongest, for example, effective leadership, parental involvement, and character education. While films also portray public schools critically, minority schools show dramatic improvement, by dint of hard work alone. By contrast, private schools are portrayed as socially divisive, unchangeable, and opposed to change. This negative portrayal may be an important component of the "ordinary knowledge" which underlies policy decisions.
Edification of Education: An Illumination of Best Practices, Effectiveness and Improvement
Authors: Ryan Thomas G. , Presley Amie , Sinay Erhan 
Published: September 2024

The following iterative review of literature culls together research that addresses the terms school improvement, school effectiveness and best practices in a manner that provokes thought and leads the reader into the grey areas of educational effectiveness. This review is set within many landscapes as studies originating from many countries are loosely tied together to advance several lines of thought concerning teacher praxes, accountability and educational outputs. As an endpoint the reader is placed within the suppositions that walkthroughs, mentoring, professional development and accountability are actually related and necessary if we are to improve educational capacity, outcomes and educational effectiveness via best practices.
“Like Bubbles Floating on the Surface:” Reflections on Transcultural Doctoral Seminar Participation
Authors: BECKER SANDRA , KO GINA , GROEN JANET , CZUY KORI , KIM MARCIA , ROY SYLVIE 
Published: September 2024

Four doctoral students and two professors from a Canadian university examined their reflections after returning from an international doctoral seminar held in Brisbane, Australia. Their research explored the transcultural experience to determine the students’ development as scholars in an international setting. Using a collaborative autoethnographic approach, the authors scrutinized their placement on Slimbach’s continuum (2005) where they found themselves “like all others, like some others, and like no others,” at different times during the seminar. The authors identify story, language, place, and time as critical themes in their own transcultural progression and placement on the continuum. Based on their collaborative inquiry and the themes that emerged, the authors provide considerations for future international doctoral seminars.
The Educational Significance of the Ecological Revolution
Authors: Colwell Jr. Thomas B. 
Published: September 2024

Despite the enormous popularity of the ecological revolution throughout the world today, there is little evidence that American educators have reacted very positively to its challenge and begun the hard work of determining its significance for the activities of schooling. This is not to imply complete inactivity on their part. Many national groups ( e.g., the NEA, National Parks Service, and the Audubon Society) and local school districts, as well as numerous individual teachers in both secondary and higher education are busy developing or have already developed proposals for environmental education. Nor is it the case that educators have been unresponsive personally and individually to the theme of environmental crisis. They have shared as fully as other Americans the mixture of shock, indignation, and enthusiastic optimism in the possibilities of environmental redress which the ecological revolution brought in its wake. Still we have experienced nothing like the wave of widespread educational r eform so characteristic of the Sputnik era, or the more recent reform efforts of the 60's. By and large the effects of the ecological revolution on education have been superficial: the celebration of Earth Day; the addition of courses on "environmental awareness", or the beefing up of existing courses by adding units in ecology; the establishment in Universities of interdisciplinary departments or even separate environmental "centers" to handle the environmental theme; and the appropriation into educational vocabularies, and their use in a variety of frequently ungainly contexts, of a host of ecologically "in" terms like "ecology", "environment", "Nature", and so on. While these efforts are always well intended and often energetically pursued, they only scratch the surface of the challenge and the opportunity which today's environmental revolution holds for education.

This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of 20 sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] genotypes via simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, with a focus on identifying drought-tolerant varieties. Leaf samples were collected from three-week-old seedlings, and genomic DNA was extracted via the CTAB method, a widely recognized protocol for obtaining high-quality DNA. The DNA samples were quantified to ensure consistent template concentrations for amplification via 25 SSR primers. PCR amplification was performed, followed by agarose gel electrophoresis to separate and visualize the SSR band patterns, which were then recorded in a binary matrix format on the basis of the presence or absence of bands. Among the SSR primers used, nine were polymorphic, generating 13 scorable markers, highlighting the genetic variability among the genotypes. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranged across the SSR loci, with the Xtxp145 locus exhibiting the highest PIC value of 0.998, indicating its high discriminatory power and informativeness in differentiating between genotypes. Genetic similarity indices were calculated via Jaccard's similarity coefficient [1], and the data were subjected to cluster analysis via the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) method. The resulting dendrogram grouped the genotypes into seven main clusters at a 50% similarity threshold, underscoring the genetic diversity present within the sorghum genotypes studied. Cluster I contained a single genotype, SVD-1272R, whereas, Cluster II included seven genotypes with subcluster formation. Cluster III comprised one ungrouped genotype, SPV-486. Cluster IV included eight genotypes, whereas Clusters V, VI, and VII each contained a single ungrouped genotype. This dendrogram illustrates the genetic diversity and relationships among the sorghum genotypes on the basis of similarity indices. The findings of this study confirmed the efficacy of SSR markers in assessing genetic diversity and emphasized their potential utility in breeding programs aimed at improving drought tolerance.

Authors: AlBattat Abdulsamad H. , Alfaris Abdulbari A. 
Published: September 2024

At present, using bone grafts is the most successful surgical approach for repairing deficits in the bone structure. This study investigated into how goat tibial defect fracture healing was impacted by using hydroxyapatite (HA) or demineralized and decellularized bone matrix (dDBM) xenograft.
Methodology: In this study, fifteen young goats were employed. Three groups (n=5) consisting of the control group, nano-group, and xeno-group were created from the animals. Bone drill was used to remove 2 mm from the tibia of the right hind limp in all animals. The hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA) in the Nano-group and the xenograft demineralized and decellularized bone matrix (dDBM) (obtained from sheep tibia) in the Xeno-group were used to fill the bone defect respectively, while the bone defect in the control group remained without treatment, and the surgical site was regularly closed. Blood serum was collected at the following intervals: postoperative, 14, 42, and 64 days for detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OC) levels. At 64 days after surgery, all goats were euthanized and the healing was evaluated by specimen histological observation.
Results: Biochemical examination in treated groups (Nano and Xeno groups) showed a statistically significant (P < 0.05) increase in the level of ALP and OC. histopathological examination at 64 day post-operation, treated groups shows Completely grown woven bone and the fracture callus composed of mature fibro-osteoid mixture. In conclusion, We demonstrate that the healing process accelerated and the bone defect can be filled by using hydroxyapatite (HA), or dDBM, as a scaffold for the damaged tibia bone.

AbstractObjectivesTo estimate the incidence of melanoma in Australia among people with ancestries associated with low, moderate, or high risk of melanoma, by sex and 5‐year age group; to establish whether age‐specific incidence rates by ancestry risk group have changed over time.Study designModelling study; United States (SEER database) melanoma incidence rates for representative ancestral populations and Australian census data (2006, 2011, 2016, 2021) used to estimate Australian melanoma incidence rates by ancestry‐based risk.Setting, participantsAustralia, 2006–2021.Main outcome measuresAge‐specific invasive melanoma incidence rates, and average annual percentage change (AAPC) in age‐specific melanoma rates, by ancestry‐based risk group, sex, and 5‐year age group.ResultsThe proportion of people in Australia who reported high risk (European) ancestry declined from 85.3% in 2006 to 71.1% in 2021. The estimated age‐standardised melanoma incidence rate was higher for people with high risk ancestry (2021: males, 82.2 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 80.5–83.8] cases per 100 000 population; females, 58.5 [95% CI, 57.0–59.9] cases per 100 000 population) than for all Australians (males, 67.8 [95% CI, 66.5–69.2] cases per 100 000 population; females, 45.4 [95% CI, 44.3–46.5] cases per 100 000 population). AAPCs were consistently positive for Australians aged 50 years or older, both overall and for people with high risk ancestry, but were statistically significant only for some age groups beyond 65 years. AAPCs were negative for people aged 34 years or younger, but were generally not statistically significant.ConclusionsMelanoma incidence has declined in some younger age groups in Australia, including among people with high risk ancestry. Social and behavioural changes over the same period that lead to lower levels of ultraviolet radiation exposure probably contributed to these changes.

This study is designed to evaluate the impact of varying selenium levels on growth potential, nutrient profile and antioxidant enzymes activity in striped catfish. Fish were randomly allocated into 15 circular indoor tanks, each with a capacity of 2000 L, (100 (H) x 200 cm (D)) dimension, and were raised for 12 weeks. Fifteen fish were allocated to each tank across four separate treatment groups, each replicated three times, following an entirely randomized design. Five iso-nitrogenous diets (30% CP) were prepared from basal diet in which one was control and other four were supplemented selenomethionine (Se-met) with levels of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mg/kg. Upon completion of the feeding trial, a diet containing Se at 1.5 mg/kg resulted in a significant increase (P<0.05) in weight gain (229.60±3.00) and SGR (0.92±0.23), along with a lower FCR (2.18±0.32). While, proximate composition remains non-significant (P > 0.05) against dietary Se feed. Antioxidant enzymes activity in liver and muscle found higher in Se1.5 diet and Se2.0 mg/kg diet in comparison to lower dietary Se treatments. Moreover, dietary Se1.5 and Se2.0 treatments values remained non-significant. Overall, the results indicated that the incorporation of Se-met at 1.5 mg/kg in the diet can improve growth performance and antioxidant status in P. hypophthalmus.

Penata suara bertanggung jawab terhadap jalannya pra produksi, produksi, dan paska produksi sehingga produksi acara yang dihasilkan dapat maksimal. Beberapa hal yang perlu diperhatikan terkait penempatan microphone dan proses mixing pada level audio, keseimbangan (balance) dan kesesuaian warna suara (equalizing) untuk mendapatkan kualitas suara yang baik dan enak didengarkan oleh khalayak pendengar. Riset dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif yang bertujuan menjelaskan fenomena dengan sedalam dalamnya melalui pegumpulan data. Populasi sampel diambil secara acak sumber daya manusia yang ada di RRI Surakarta khususnya bidang teknik operator audio atau penata suara. Teknik pengumpulan data sekunder dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan interview (wawancara), observasi (pengamatan), dokumen, dan kepustakaan. Penerapan teknik balancing sudah dilakukan dengan baik melalui alternative pemilihan beberapa jenis maupun type microphone untuk menangkap akustik suara yang sesuai karakteristik sumbersuara dari musik gamelan dan vokal. Meskipun ada beberapa microphone yang kurang sesuai microphone jenis dynamic type SM 58 yang seharusnya untuk vocal tetapi juga digunakan untuk musik gamelan, tetapi dengan demikian masih ada toleransi yang menyangkut kualitas suara yang ditangkap oleh microphone tersebut. Pihak LPP RRI Surakarta sepakat sementara tidak dilakukan atau menggunakan system stereo, supaya informasi dari dialog tayangan Wayang Uwong tidak mengakibatkan kurang lengkapnya dalam mendengarkan cerita drama Wayang Uwong tersebut, dan tetap menjaga informasi alur cerita yang dipentaskan dan kualitas jalannya siaran di LPP RRI Surakarta.

Diarrhea can cause disruption of nutrient absorption in the body, which can result in growth failure if not treated immediately. When toddlers experience diarrhea, they will experience a decrease in appetite so that food intake is not optimal. In an effort to prevent diarrhea and stunting in Mandiro Village, the PPK Ormawa Team of HIMA Gizi FKM UNEJ provided training in making PMT based on local food, namely moringa leaf carrot chicken nuggets and cassava leaf chicken sempol to Posyandu Cadres and mothers of toddlers in Mandiro Village. The delivery of training materials is carried out using expository and demonstration methods. Monitoring and evaluation of the activities are conducted using questionnaires in the form of pre-tests and post-tests. The results of the pre-tests and post-tests indicate an increase in respondents' knowledge related to Supplementary Feeding (PMT).
Intimate Partner Violence In College Students: Psychological Perspective
Authors: Maribell Xiomara Bejar Alegría  
Published: September 2024

Intimate partner violence has previously been recognized as a major public health problem. This comprehensive systematic review aims to characterize existing research on actual or suspected infidelitywith intimate partner violence and inform future research and programs. We systematically searched the databases of Scopus, SciELO, Web of Science, Dialnet, peer-reviewed research, published between April 2017 and 2022, which provided data on prevalence or a measure of association (quantitative) or pathway (qualitative), between actual or suspected infidelity. We included 38 articles from 28 countries and the evidence showed a consistent association between actual or suspected infidelity. Our findings identify three general mechanisms and six pathways between infidelity, considered as intimate partner violence in college students. These provide support for major theories in the field related to patriarchal culture, threatened masculinities and femininities, and lack of emotional regulation and conflict resolution skills, but not evolutionary theories. Our findings suggest that researchers should use standardized measurement tools that distinguish between actual infidelity and suspicions, confirmations, and accusations of infidelity. Policy and programming should aim to transform traditional gender roles, taking into account infidelity and improving communication and trust of partners in students. Threatened masculinities and femininities and lack of emotional regulation and conflict resolution skills, but no evolutionary theories. Our findings suggest that researchers should use standardized measurement tools that distinguish between infidelity and suspicions, confirmations, and accusations of infidelity. The results of this studymay suggest that specific information seminars within the curriculum might be suitable to provide students with.

Published: September 2024

Introduction Bile duct injury (BDI) management depends upon the type, clinical presentation, available resources and expertise. Some BDI may be managed with endoscopic intervention with Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-pancreaticography (ERCP), sphincterotomy and/or stenting while others may require complex surgery and percutaneous interventions by interventional radiologists (IR). This study aimed to evaluate the management strategies and early outcomes of bile duct injuries at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital.
MethodsIn this retrospective analysis, bile duct injuries in patients treated at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal over a period of two years were included (January 2020 to December 2022). In this study we have described the clinical presentation, Strasberg classification of BDI grade, different management techniques and their early outcomes. We calculated number and percentages for categorical variables, mean and standard deviation for continuous data.
ResultsOut of 26 bile duct injuries, 12 (46.2%) patients underwent surgical management, 9 (34.6%) underwent percutaneous intervention and 5 (19.2%) underwent endoscopic intervention. Majority of the patient 15 (57.7%) had stricture as an indication for management. Patients who underwent surgical, endoscopic, and percutaneous management showed good early outcomes in 12, 5, and 8 patients respectively. The mean duration of hospital stay was 11.8±5.2 days and CCI was 15.2±9.7, for patients with index presentation who underwent surgery.
ConclusionManagement of bile duct injuries require multidisciplinary team approach and favorable outcomes can be achieved when managed with expertise at tertiary centers. Surgical management remains essential for complex cases, while percutaneous and endoscopic interventions offer viable alternatives for less severe injuries.
