Comparison of the Effect of Temperature and Different Culture Media on the Possibility of Growth of Salmonella Typhimurium (ATCC: 14028)
Authors: Eslami Nazila , Anzabi Younes , NourAzar Mir Alireza 
Published: March 2024

Background and Aims: Gastrointestinal infection with Salmonella serotypes, especially Typhimurium, is common worldwide. One of the important points regarding the isolation of Salmonella is its similarity with other microbial flora, which makes it difficult to isolate it. Therefore, it is very important to choose the correct separation method. This study aimed to compare the growth rate of Salmonella in different cultural environments and the effect of temperature and enrichment on it.
Materials and Methods: 24 out of 36 Ross breed broilers were infected with the bacteria to obtain stool samples containing Salmonella Typhimurium. One McFarland dilution was given to chickens for experimental infection. After the confirmation of the infection, the culture was started in days for 7 consecutive days. From 2 media enriched with Tetrathionate broth and Selenite Cysteine broth and 3 selective culture media, Xylose lysine Deoxycholate agar, Brilliant Green agar, and McConkey agar for culture were used. All cultures were examined at 2 temperatures of 37°C and 42°C in terms of growth rate. The Kappa test was used for data analysis.
Results: The results showed no difference between tetrathionate and selenite cyane enrichment media (k=0.81). Agreement between Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate and McConkey (k=0.33), agreement between Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate and Brilliant Green (k=0.57), and agreement between Brilliant Green and McConkey (k=0.80), were obtained. The agreement between 37°C and 43°C was < 0.1.
Conclusion: According to the results obtained, using an Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate culture medium and incubation at 42°C are recommended to isolate Salmonella Typhimurium from fecal samples.

Published: March 2024

This study looks into the benefits of employing movies as a pedagogical tool in English language teaching programs. The objective is to explore potentials of movies in enhancing English language teaching and gauge some teaching challenges related to using them in English language teaching. A quantitative approach is employed, and data is collected using a questionnaire given to teachers of English in order to find out what they think about this technique of instruction and to investigate some frequent issues that arise when using movies as teaching resources. The study concludes that incorporating movies into EFL instruction can be an effective strategy for enhancing students' language skills and fostering a more engaging learning environment. The findings imply that movies provide students with contextualized language input, foster cultural awareness and stimulate their enthusiasm in learning English. Furthermore, the study recommends two methods for creating movie-based teaching materials: worksheets and interactive video quizzes using the Edpuzzle platform.
In Tribute: Reflections on the Impact of Professor Michael Turvey on Motor Development
Authors: Whitall Jill , Clark Jane E. 
Published: March 2024

In our tribute to Professor Michael Turvey, we have two parallel goals: 1) to highlight the scientific scope of Turvey’s impact on motor development; and, 2) to expose readers to papers that they may not have read but that might cast new light on age-old questions they confront in their current research on motor development. The paper is divided into two equal time periods. In Part 1, from 1975 to 1999, we trace the emergence and growth of Dynamic Systems/Ecological Realism (perception-action) paradigms. We explain how the existing paradigms in motor development research, the descriptive and information processing paradigms were, in part, replaced by new paradigms whose existence owes much to Michael Turvey and his colleagues. We suggest that this time period was one where Turvey had the most conceptual influence on the field. In Part 2, from 2000 to 2024, we describe how factors, including the emergence of two new paradigms in motor development research may have reduced Turvey’s direct influence. But we also note that there is still much research undertaken that builds off the bases of Dynamic Systems and Perception-Action Coupling approaches including research by Turvey and his students/colleagues. We end with the suggestion that the present generation of motor development researchers may have something to gain by re-/reading research from these perspectives regardless of whether it is directly from Professor Turvey’s pen or from those whom he influenced (or influenced him).

Published: March 2024

This quantitative survey using a structured questionnaire with closed questions and a sample of 340 participants from 20 courses (bachelor's and master's degrees) at public higher education institutions in the Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro region of the Portuguese university (University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro) and polytechnic (Polytechnic Institute of Bragança) subsystem aims to list a group of proposals for reflection and future implementation that can fill or mitigate gaps and weaknesses identified in the disciplines of the curricula related to internships. The analysis of the data reveals indicators indicating the need for a (formal and conceptual) rethinking of inclusive intervention in the context of supervision in the field of teacher training. These indicators include problems with operating in a multifaceted educational setting, enhancing an interdisciplinary, integrated and inclusive approach, rearranging curriculum and reconsidering the functional profiles and competencies of teaching staff. Therefore, the construction of a professional culture that favors an integrative and inclusive approach through the assumption of a broad profile of professional competence capable of training the teacher in a multidimensional educational context is crucial. We evaluate the necessity of encouraging research of this type involving additional factors, populations and samples in order to enable the extrapolation of data and findings to a national level providing significance and technological foundations for decisions made within the context of public education policy.

Brackish water pre-treatment method: selection of the study area and water sample testing
Authors: Idrissi Youssouf EL , Benabbou Mohamed , Rais Zakia , Haji Mounia EL 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Climate change significantly disrupts the global water cycle, impacting rainfall and social and economic development in countries like Morocco. This has led to the need for alternative solutions like desalinating sea and brackish water. However, the efficiency of water pre-treatment operations depends on the characteristics of the raw water to be treated and affects the overall system's performance in terms of water quality and cost. The final objective of this study is to design a solar-powered brackish pre-treatment technique before desalination for remote rural populations. The primary task is to select the most suitable geographical area in Morocco for sampling and analysis of water characteristics and their compliance with drinking water standards. The results help identify the most appropriate provinces for our case according to certain selection criteria (distance, annual solar radiation, rural population, access to drinking water) and analyse the water's characteristics and compliance with national or international drinking water health standards. This provides a solid foundation for the next stages of desalination method development.
Evaluating the Diagnostic Performance of Symptom Checkers: Clinical Vignette Study
Authors: Hammoud Mohammad , Douglas Shahd , Darmach Mohamad , Alawneh Sara , Sanyal Swapnendu , Kanbour Youssef 
Published: March 2024

Background
Medical self-diagnostic tools (or symptom checkers) are becoming an integral part of digital health and our daily lives, whereby patients are increasingly using them to identify the underlying causes of their symptoms. As such, it is essential to rigorously investigate and comprehensively report the diagnostic performance of symptom checkers using standard clinical and scientific approaches.

Objective
This study aims to evaluate and report the accuracies of a few known and new symptom checkers using a standard and transparent methodology, which allows the scientific community to cross-validate and reproduce the reported results, a step much needed in health informatics.

Methods
We propose a 4-stage experimentation methodology that capitalizes on the standard clinical vignette approach to evaluate 6 symptom checkers. To this end, we developed and peer-reviewed 400 vignettes, each approved by at least 5 out of 7 independent and experienced primary care physicians. To establish a frame of reference and interpret the results of symptom checkers accordingly, we further compared the best-performing symptom checker against 3 primary care physicians with an average experience of 16.6 (SD 9.42) years. To measure accuracy, we used 7 standard metrics, including M1 as a measure of a symptom checker’s or a physician’s ability to return a vignette’s main diagnosis at the top of their differential list, F1-score as a trade-off measure between recall and precision, and Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) as a measure of a differential list’s ranking quality, among others.

Results
The diagnostic accuracies of the 6 tested symptom checkers vary significantly. For instance, the differences in the M1, F1-score, and NDCG results between the best-performing and worst-performing symptom checkers or ranges were 65.3%, 39.2%, and 74.2%, respectively. The same was observed among the participating human physicians, whereby the M1, F1-score, and NDCG ranges were 22.8%, 15.3%, and 21.3%, respectively. When compared against each other, physicians outperformed the best-performing symptom checker by an average of 1.2% using F1-score, whereas the best-performing symptom checker outperformed physicians by averages of 10.2% and 25.1% using M1 and NDCG, respectively.

Conclusions
The performance variation between symptom checkers is substantial, suggesting that symptom checkers cannot be treated as a single entity. On a different note, the best-performing symptom checker was an artificial intelligence (AI)–based one, shedding light on the promise of AI in improving the diagnostic capabilities of symptom checkers, especially as AI keeps advancing exponentially.

Artikel ini membahas praktik budaya kerja hibrid di kalangan aparatur sipil negara dengan menggunakan dasar pemikiran kajian budaya. Data teks kualitatif diperoleh dari pengamatan, pengalaman penulis dan studi pustaka dengan objek aparatur sipil negara di Badan penelitian dan pengembangan sumber daya manusia kementerian komunikasi dan informatika, di Jakarta. Hasil diskusi menyimpulkan bahwa masifnya penggunaan media digital berpengaruh terhadap munculnya gejala sikap dan perilaku individualisme, diferensiasi pekerjaan, dan dominasi pemikiran rasional penggunanya. Di balik hegemoni produsen media digital terhadap konsumen terdapat konstruksi keuntungan ekonomi dan kekuasaan. Sementara itu, akulturasi budaya teknologi digital memunculkan budaya kerja hibrid di kelompok aparatur sipil negara yang memiliki keterampilan teknologi digital. Penggunaan teknologi digital akan mendisrupsi budaya kerja konvensional aparatur sipil negara selama ini. Komodifikasi bergesernya nilai fungsi media digital dari sebagai alat bantu kerja kelompok aparatur sipil negara yang memiliki keterampilan teknologi digital, bergeser menjadi alat kekuasaan untuk posisi tawar politik mendegradasi budaya kerja konvensional kelompok aparatur sipil negara yang tidak memiliki keterampilan media digital. Komodifikasi ini linier dengan konsep hegemoni dan ideologi kapitalis yang dikonstruksi industri media digital untuk menekan konsumennya, termasuk kelompok aparatur sipil negara yang memiliki keterampilan teknologi digital di instansi pemerintah

Keterlibatan perempuan menjadi sumber untuk menciptakan pembentukan yang berkeadilan. Negara tidak akan makmur kalau perempuan dibebaskan tertinggal, tersisihkan dan tertindas. Sebagaimana diungkapkan oleh Vivekananda (Darwin 2005:8) : negara dan bangsa yang tak menghormati perempuan tak akan menjadi besar, baik di saat itu biarpun di masa depan. Bukti esensial sebagai pemicu tertindasnya bangsa secara tajam adalah tak mempunyai rasa mulia pada aktivitas perempuan yang digambarkan sebagai istri. Sehingga pembangunan yang integral dan menyeluruh berasal dalam negara yang mengatur peranan penuh dari kaum perempuan pada berbagai ilmu kehidupan. Maka perempuan sebagai warga negara maupun sumber insan pembangunan mempunyai hak, kewajiban, dan kesempatan yang sama dengan laki-laki. Konsep yg fundamental ialah tak ada kontraskewenangan antara laki-laki dan perempuan buat menerima Pendidikan serta perlindungan aturan, sebagai akibatnya mempunyai peluang dan kesempatan yang sama pada mengakses lapangan pekerjaan dan melakukan peran sosial dalam pembangunan.
The Viability of Topic Modeling to Identify Participant Motivations for Enrolling in Online Professional Development
Authors: Barker Heather Allmond , Lee Hollylynne S , Kellogg Shaun , Anderson Robin 
Published: March 2024

Identifying motivation for enrollment in MOOCs has been an important way to predict participant success rates. But themes for motivation have largely centered around themes for enrolling in any MOOC, and not ones specific to the course being studied. In this study, qualitatively coding discussion forums was combined with topic modeling to identify participants’ motivation for enrolling in two successive statistics education professional development online courses. Computational text mining, such as topic modeling, is a learning analytics field that has proven effective in analyzing large volumes of text to automatically identify topics or themes. This contrasts with traditional qualitative approaches, in which researchers manually apply labels (or codes) to parts of text to identify common themes. Combining topic modeling and qualitative research may prove useful to education researchers and practitioners in better understanding and improving online learning contexts that feature asynchronous discussion. Three topic modeling approaches were used in this study, including both unsupervised and semi-supervised modeling techniques. The three topic modeling approaches were validated and compared to determine which participants were assigned motivation themes that most closely aligned to their posts made in an introductory discussion forum. A discussion of how each technique can be useful for identifying topical themes within discussion forum data is included. Though the three techniques have varying success rates in identifying motivation for enrolling in the MOOCs, they do all identify similar themes for motivation that are specific to statistics education.
The Use of the DPMO Indicator to Verify the Fulfilment of Hygienic Requirements in the Food Industry - A Case Study
Authors: Pawlak Szymon , Miranowicz Andrzej Krzysztof , Nowacki Krzysztof 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The quality of the manufactured product plays a special role in the food industry. Food producers, in addition to meeting consumer requirements, are obliged to comply with legally sanctioned, rigorous requirements of hygiene and cleanliness at work, as well as the way it is performed. In order to maintain the legally required hygiene rules in production plants specializing in the production of food products, manufacturers implement numerous management systems aimed at maintaining legally imposed guidelines in the field of quality management and occupational health. The article describes the use of the DPMO indicator, which allows for a thorough analysis of process parameters affecting the final quality of the manufactured product. For the analyzed process, the maximum DPMO value for one of the areas is 636364. In nine cases, which constitutes 12.5% of the total, DPMO is 0. The purpose of this article is to identify non-compliances in the field of occupational hygiene in the production plant analyzed using the DPMO indicator and then to introduce improvements. The developed recommendations concern marking, standardization and responsibility for individual processes as well as additional cleanliness inspections.

Abstract
This study aims to update the list of Nitidulidae species observed on date palms in Algeria (Ziban region), their spatial dynamics according to the development stages (larva, pupa, adult), and the effectiveness of the bagging operation. In 2020, we sampled and examined 1800 dates of the Deglet Nour variety from three palm groves managed with different protection modes: yellow bagging, white bagging, and no bagging. The results obtained mention the presence of nine species of Nitidulidae with five species reported for the first time on dates in Algeria. The highest relative abundance (RA) of Nitidulidae beetles was noted in the southern (28%) direction. However, the variation of infestation rate (IR) according to the direction was not very accentuated. The GLM analysis showed that, except for the adult stage, the direction presented a highly significant effect on the RA variation of the total Nitudilidae, the larva and pupa stages (p < 0.0001), but there was no significant effect of direction on the IR in all studied cases. The highest RA of total Nitidulidae was found on the white plastic-protected dates (RA = 42%), the IR of the total Nitidulidae was higher on dates protected by yellow plastic (IR = 38%). The unprotected dates recorded the lowest RA and IR for all studied cases and the effect of bagging type on the RA variation of Nitidulidae, in all studied cases, was statistically highly significant (p < 0.0001). This effect on the IR was very highly significant only for total Nitudilidae, larvae, and adults (p < 0.0001). So, the southern direction presents the best conditions for sheltering the largest numbers of Nitidulidae. The latter also has a marked preference for bunches covered by plastic bags rather than for those left uncovered. This implies the ineffectiveness of the operation of protecting dates with plastic bags, especially the yellow-coloured ones.
