Authors: - Usmadi , Restiani Sih Harsanti  
Published: June 2024

Limited water availability and soil organic matter are the main causes of low dry land productivity and are the main challenges in efforts to develop them. Green mustard plants, which have a short harvest period and are quite adaptable to the environment, are suitable for development in dry land and are expected to reduce the risk of crop failure due water deficit. One source of organic material that is easily available at the farmer level is cow dung manure. This fertilizer is also able to help provide nutrients, increase the availability of moisture and microorganisms in the soil. It is hoped that the combination of the use of cow dung manure with mustard plants can be an afternative solution and efforts to increase the productivity of dry land. The research aims to determine the possibility of using cow dung as a source of organic fertilizer in the cultivation of green mustard on dry land. The research is based on a Randomized Block Design consisting of nine treatments with four replications. Treatments included a combination of different ages of seedlings without cow dung manure as a control; difference in seed age with 7.5 tons Ha-1 of cow dung manure and difference in seed age with 15 tons Ha-1 of cow dung manure. The data obtained were analyzed using variance and if there were significant differences, it was continued with the HSD test at the 5% level. The research result showed that applying cow dung manure can increase the growth and yield of green mustard on dry land. Seedlings aged 10 days after showing combined with the addition of 15 tons Ha-1 of cow dung manure can produce a fresh weight of 21.15 tons Ha-1 or 95.56% of the average potential productivity

Authors: Ма Хайсинь 
Published: June 2024

В статье обобщены результаты современных сравнительно-педагогических исследований (статей, диссертаций) за последние 15 лет о подготовке вокалистов в Китае и России, выполненных преимущественно китайскими учеными единолично, в соавторстве с российскими учеными или под научным руководством ученых российских вузов. Их проблематика связана с влиянием русского вокального (оперного) искусства на китайское и особенностями подготовки вокалистов в Китае и России (сходства и различия). Обзор данных исследований позволяет создать целостное представление о текущем состоянии подготовки вокалистов в двух странах, специфике, развитии и интеграции вокальных школ.
The role of comparative research has increased, and the interdependent world has become the modern context for the development of comparative pedagogy. Recently, the number of scientific and pedagogical publications devoted to music education and vocal pedagogy, in particular the training of vocalists, has increased in both countries. In Russian universities and conservatories, vocalists from China are trained, vocal competitions are held with participants from both countries, and Russian teachers in the field of music education are invited to China for teaching activities. The article summarizes the results of modern comparative pedagogical research over the past 15 years on the training of vocalists in China and Russia, carried out primarily by Chinese scientists alone, in collaboration with Russian scientists or under the scientific supervision of scientists from Russian universities. Their problems are mainly related to the influence of Russian vocal art (opera) on Chinese and the peculiarities of training vocalists in China and Russia (similarities and differences). The review of research data allows us to create a holistic picture of the current state of training of vocalists in the two countries, the specifics, development and integration of vocal schools. Modern research confirms the influence of Russian theory and practice in the field of training vocalists on Chinese musical and vocal education, but the training systems in both China and Russia are equally highly and respectfully assessed, their uniqueness, similarities, and differences are revealed, noting possible areas for improvement.

The author shows the stages of formation of foreign language professional lexical competence based on the use of previous and current interdisciplinary connections, characterizes the skills of each stage in the process of formation of the professional lexical competence, gives an example of the developed plan for systematic interaction between students and teacher emphasizing the impact of the plan on the stage formation of students’ oral speech. The article touches the psychophysiological basis of lexical skills which is the automated dynamic links as unity of semantic and auditoryspeech-motor images of certain lexical items in the process of their application in speech activities. The formation of this kind of links determines automated processes of vocabulary application in a coherent speech context causing the effective formation of foreign language professional lexical competence. The described stages involve the use of interdisciplinary connections at the stage of formation of language lexical skills as an initial component of lexical competence, at the stage of formation of lexical skills of reproductive-productive oral speech as the progressive constituent of professional lexical competence and at the stage of spontaneous speech as the stage of application of productive lexical skills that determine the formation of professional lexical competence.
Developing CEFR-Based Digital Literacy Resources for Multisensory English Learning
Authors: Alfiani Dewina , Khomarudin Khomarudin 
Published: June 2024

Indonesia has the latest curriculum, namely the independent curriculum, whose learning is holistic and based on the CEFR level. However, in practice, the learning and teaching still uses traditional pedagogy that relies on the left brain and focuses only on grammar (linguistics). This fact is supported by evidence of a decline in the English proficiency index (EPI) in 2022 which shows that Indonesia is at a low level (ranked 81 out of 111 countries). In his latest research, Sudimantara (2021) develops a new pedagogy (Multisensorial Load Reduction Strategies) that activates the nonverbal components of language (rhythm, intonation, movement, emotion, and aesthetics). Another research by A,-P Lian & Cai (2021) also introduces a Verbotonal Approach which emphasizes prosodic information (intonation and rhythm) to rearrange the learner’s perception of the language being learned thereby facilitating language learning. In line with previous research, this research provides an innovative development of digital literacy resources for multisensory English learning based on CEFR. This research uses qualitative development with R&D (Research and Development) design with the research step to be carried out (Analyzing, design, developing, and Evaluation). The results show that these digital literacy resources can be applied by teachers for student learning. This research is expected that digital literacy can be further developed for multisensory learning which is beneficial for language learning.Keywords: CEFR-Based Learning, Digital Resources, Multisensory
Palatability and Suitability of the Ulmaceae for Spongy Moth Larval Development (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)
Authors: Miller Fredric , Ware George 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Fifty-nine Ulmus taxa, varieties, and cultivars and six Zelkova taxa and cultivars were evaluated in no-choice (NC) and multiple-choice (MC) laboratory feeding bioassays for suitability and preference for spongy moth larvae (Lymantria dispar L.). Ulmus ‘Morton Stalwart’-CommendationTM, U. ‘Morton Red Tip’-Danada CharmTM, ‘Frontier’, ‘Homestead’, ‘Regal’, and U. elliptica were found to be the most suitable (suitability ratios of &gt; 0.90). Ulmus gausennii, and U. carpinifolia were the least suitable (suitability ratio &lt; 0.5). The remaining Ulmus and Zelkova taxa were either unsuitable (i.e. larvae failed to pupate) or were moderately suitable (suitability ratios 0.54 to 0.86). Dry frass weight was a moderate predictor of larval longevity. Feeding preference was moderately correlated with larval longevity and percent larval survival. Leaf thickness and toughness does not appear to affect larval survival, pupal fresh weight, or frass production. Asian elm leaves possess both glandular and straight trichomes but they did not affect larval suitability. Hybridization significantly affected host susceptibility and appears to contribute to an “U. pumila and U. carpinifolia factor” for host preference, susceptibility, and suitability. There appears to be a rich pool of Ulmus and Zelkova taxa for potential use in future tree breeding programs.

Initial screening for dental abnormalities identified by labial and buccal photographs in dogs and cats
Authors: Ryu Yeonje , Kim Se Eun , Huh Eun A. , Park Sungjun , Kim Sunghoon , Kim Hyunjung , Seo Kangmoon 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the dental abnormalities by visually assessing the labial and buccal photographs in dogs and cats and analyze their prevalence based on age and breed.

ANIMALS
1,096 client-owned dogs and 775 client-owned cats.

METHODS
Data were collected from patients who visited 26 private veterinary clinics from January to December 2022. Each animal was evaluated through dental photographs taken from the labial and buccal sides. Correlations between the prevalence of the identified dental abnormalities and age, craniofacial type, and breed, were analyzed.

RESULTS
Calculus, discoloration, epulis, fractured teeth, gingival recession, gingivitis, malocclusion, missing teeth, and persistent deciduous teeth could be identified by analyzing the dental photographs in both dogs and cats. Enamel defects in dogs and tooth resorption in cats could be identified. Brachycephalic dogs had a significantly higher prevalence of malocclusion (OR, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.36 to 2.75) and missing teeth (OR, 3.63; 95% CI, 2.71 to 4.91) compared to nonbrachycephalic dogs. Brachycephalic cats had a significantly higher prevalence of fractured teeth (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.24 to 3.04) and a lower prevalence of gingival recession (OR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.15 to 0.55) compared to nonbrachycephalic cats. Calculus, persistent deciduous teeth, and possibly gingivitis could be identified in dogs and cats by analyzing labial and buccal photographs. The assessment of some dental abnormalities such as fractured teeth, missing teeth, and tooth resorption can be limited without a complete dental examination under anesthesia.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Although the assessment of dental conditions may be underestimated, the data on the prevalence of the dental abnormalities evaluated through the photographs could be utilized for screening dental diseases.
Nasally delivered chitosan-coated poly(lactide-co-glycolide) encapsulating honeybee venom enhances T helper 1–related immunity against Salmonella Typhimurium infection in pigs
Authors: Lee Jina , Jung Bock-Gie , Lee Bong-Joo 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
Salmonella Typhimurium is a significant zoonotic concern for human food poisoning and a substantial economic burden in the swine industry. We previously reported that nasally delivered chitosan-coated poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) encapsulating honeybee venom (CP-HBV) could enhance CD4+ T helper 1 (Th1)-related immune responses in healthy pigs. Building upon these findings, the current study aimed to investigate the protective immune enhancement by nasally delivered CP-HBV in pigs challenged with S Typhimurium.

ANIMALS
36 healthy, 4-week-old, female, Landrace X Yorkshire X Duroc pigs.

METHODS
36 pigs were allocated into 3 groups: CP-HBV (n = 16), control (n = 16), and healthy baseline control (n = 4). CP-HBV and control groups were challenged with S Typhimurium 7 days post-treatment. Pigs from the healthy control group were sacrificed at 0 days postinfection (DPI), and 4 pigs from each of the control and CP-HBV groups were sacrificed at 1, 2, 4, and 7 DPI. Salmonella shedding, immune cell frequencies, cytokines, and transcriptional factor expression levels were measured.

RESULTS
The CP-HBV group exhibited lower bacterial shedding and an enhanced Th1-related immune response characterized by an upregulation of CD4+ T cells and CD4+ Interferon-γ+ T cells, accompanied by increased expression of Th1-related cytokines and reduced expression of regulatory T cells and immunosuppressive cytokines compared to the control group.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
CP-HBV is a promising strategy for controlling Salmonella infections in pigs and improving public health.
Subcutaneous amikacin administration in red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) produces prolonged detectable plasma concentrations without biochemistry evidence of impaired renal function
Authors: Hiebert Kara , Knych Heather , Hawkins Shawna 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To establish pilot data on the plasma concentrations of SC amikacin at 2 doses in red-eared sliders and evaluate concurrent plasma biochemistry parameters.

ANIMALS
8 adult red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans).

METHODS
Amikacin was administered SC at target doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg with a 3-week washout period. Blood samples were collected at 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours postadministration. Plasma amikacin concentrations were quantified using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Plasma biochemistry analyses were performed before amikacin administration, 1 week post 5-mg/kg administration, and 1 week post 10-mg/kg administration.

RESULTS
Mean maximum amikacin plasma concentrations were recorded 24 hours after 5-mg/kg and 10-mg/kg dosing and were 17.5 ± 2.32 µg/mL and 23.6 ± 2.92 µg/mL, respectively. Mean plasma concentrations after 5-mg/kg dosing steadily decreased to 9.1 ± 0.92 µg/mL by 96 hours postadministration. Amikacin remained detectable in all plasma samples 3 weeks post 5-mg/kg dosing with a mean plasma concentration of 1.04 ± 0.22 µg/mL. Mean plasma concentrations after 10-mg/kg dosing did not decrease over the 96-hour study period. There were no clinically relevant changes in biochemistry parameters.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Amikacin persists at detectable plasma levels for at least 3 weeks after SC administration of a 5-mg/kg dose in red-eared sliders, which has not previously been reported in any species. No biochemistry changes consistent with renal toxicity occurred after either dose. Use caution with repeated amikacin dosing in this species until further studies can better characterize cumulative amikacin pharmacokinetics and toxic threshold.
A Detailed Examination of 8th Grade Students’ Mathematical Reasoning Process
Authors: Zengin Şeyda , Erdem Emrullah 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
This study aims to reveal the mathematical reasoning process of 8th-grade students and the reasoning indicators they use in this process.

Methods:
The study was carried out in line with the data obtained from the Mathematical Reasoning Test (MRT) administered to 292 8th-grade students.

Results:
The mathematical reasoning performances of the participants were generally at low and medium levels. Evidence was found that students used reasoning indicators such as “… for/because of…, /therefore/so/thus…”, “if … then…”, “because…”, “should be/should be...” and “equal...” when reasoning.

Discussion:
It is important that when evaluating the solutions to questions that require mathematical reasoning, students must be interviewed and confirmed how they reached those solutions.

Limitations:
The limitations of the research are, firstly, that it is limited to 8th graders, and secondly, that students will get bored if the number of questions in the MRT is high.

Conclusions:
Students must be asked to justify their reasoning while solving problems that require mathematical reasoning.
The Need for Academic Writing in Albania
Authors: Skendaj Klodjana 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
This research analyzes the importance of academic writing in Albania and suggests introducing it as a mandatory course in all fields of study. The study aims to identify students' perceptions of academic writing and the importance of clear structure and guidelines in academic writing templates. The research collected data through 253 online questionnaires from students of private and public HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) in Albania, revealing that students lacked adequate skills in primary writing forms and were unaware of the steps required to use resources.

Methods:
253 Albanian university students participated in a study on academic writing abilities and methods. The study used a structured questionnaire with 23 closed-ended questions related to statements relevant to the concepts provided by the Literature Review on the issues of writing skills, methodology, and the required steps of academic writing.

Results:
The study found that over half of the students surveyed did not study academic writing, which was mainly offered as an elective course for the undergraduate level. Less than half of the students confirmed that their universities offered a template for them to guide themselves through the studying process. The research also found a connection between the lack of academic writing in the curricula and academic integrity.

Discussion:
The Ministry of Education and HEIs should provide theoretical and methodological guidelines for designing academic writing courses in Albanian. Academic writing programs in Albanian and English should be offered to faculty members and researchers. Academic Writing should be mandatory for every study program, collaborating with disciplinary professors and linguistics to improve the existing curricula and creating opportunities for students to express their critical thinking through writing skills.

Limitations:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this research faced limitations in accessing the syllabi of some faculties and restricted student gatherings. Therefore, the questionnaire was delivered online, and the results presented in the paper refer to the respondents' self-regulation while answering online.

Conclusions:
The survey revealed that students from public and non-public higher education institutions lack basic writing skills, prefer internet guidance over professor's assistance, struggle with paraphrasing, summarizing, and referencing, and lack academic integrity. However, students showed a high interest in academic writing as a mandatory course in higher education institutions.
