Integrative Approaches to Tackle Multidisciplinary Challenges: A Review of Multi-science Problem Analysis
Authors: M. Harle Shrikant 
Published: January 2024

Abstract:
In the field of science, multi-disciplinary analysis is a flexible and comprehensive
approach to tackling difficult issues by combining data, expertise, and techniques
from different areas of study. This article examines the importance, techniques,
and results of cooperative endeavors that bring together different disciplines.
The article also focuses on the moral and societal consequences of combining and
analyzing data, with particular attention to safeguarding data privacy, minimizing biases,
and promoting responsible use of AI. For instance, stringent steps are required
to de-identify the data and guarantee that people's personal information is preserved
in medical research that integrates patient data from several sources. Another important
consideration is minimizing biases. To provide equitable employment chances,
efforts are made to eradicate racial or gender prejudices in AI-driven recruiting
procedures. The present article delves into the most recent breakthroughs in multiscience
analysis, specifically the integration of artificial intelligence, cross-sector collaborations,
and a growing emphasis on sustainable development. Furthermore, we
underscore the critical significance of clear and open communication and the overall
societal impact of this type of research. By working together and pursuing interdisciplinary
approaches, multi-science analysis can pave the way towards a more interconnected
and sustainable future, empowering society to tackle global challenges and
bolster resilience in the face of intricate problems. Multi-science analysis often faces
hurdles related to data heterogeneity, as integrating data from various sources with
differing formats and quality standards can be technically demanding. Moreover, navigating
the differing terminologies and methodologies across disciplines can sometimes
lead to communication barriers and conflicts, requiring effective coordination
and translation efforts. Additionally, ensuring equitable collaboration and recognition
among diverse researchers and stakeholders can be a challenge, particularly in competitive
academic or industry environments.

Authors: Shikino Kiyoshi , Nishizaki Yuji , Fukui Sho , Yokokawa Daiki , Yamamoto Yu , Kobayashi Hiroyuki , Shimizu Taro , Tokuda Yasuharu 
Published: January 2024

Background
Medical students in Japan undergo a 2-year postgraduate residency program to acquire clinical knowledge and general medical skills. The General Medicine In-Training Examination (GM-ITE) assesses postgraduate residents’ clinical knowledge. A clinical simulation video (CSV) may assess learners’ interpersonal abilities.

Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between GM-ITE scores and resident physicians’ diagnostic skills by having them watch a CSV and to explore resident physicians’ perceptions of the CSV’s realism, educational value, and impact on their motivation to learn.

Methods
The participants included 56 postgraduate medical residents who took the GM-ITE between January 21 and January 28, 2021; watched the CSV; and then provided a diagnosis. The CSV and GM-ITE scores were compared, and the validity of the simulations was examined using discrimination indices, wherein ≥0.20 indicated high discriminatory power and >0.40 indicated a very good measure of the subject’s qualifications. Additionally, we administered an anonymous questionnaire to ascertain participants’ views on the realism and educational value of the CSV and its impact on their motivation to learn.

Results
Of the 56 participants, 6 (11%) provided the correct diagnosis, and all were from the second postgraduate year. All domains indicated high discriminatory power. The (anonymous) follow-up responses indicated that the CSV format was more suitable than the conventional GM-ITE for assessing clinical competence. The anonymous survey revealed that 12 (52%) participants found the CSV format more suitable than the GM-ITE for assessing clinical competence, 18 (78%) affirmed the realism of the video simulation, and 17 (74%) indicated that the experience increased their motivation to learn.

Conclusions
The findings indicated that CSV modules simulating real-world clinical examinations were successful in assessing examinees’ clinical competence across multiple domains. The study demonstrated that the CSV not only augmented the assessment of diagnostic skills but also positively impacted learners’ motivation, suggesting a multifaceted role for simulation in medical education.

Authors: Lachowiec Jennifer , Feldman Max J , Matias Filipe Inacio , Lebauer David , Gregory Alexander 
Published: January 2024

A comprehensive survey and subject-expert interviews conducted among
agricultural researchers investigated perceived value and barriers to
the adoption of unoccupied aerial systems (UAS) in agricultural
research. The study involved 154 respondents from 21 countries
representing various agricultural sectors. The survey identified three
key applications considered most promising for UAS in agriculture:
precision agriculture, crop phenotyping/plant breeding, and crop
modeling. Over 80% of respondents rated UAS for phenotyping as
valuable, with 47.6% considering them very valuable. Among the
participants, 41% were already using UAS technology in their research,
while 49% expressed interest in future adoption. Current users highly
valued UAS for phenotyping, with 63.9% considering them very valuable,
compared to 39.4% of potential future users. The study also explored
barriers to UAS adoption. The most commonly reported barriers were the
“High cost of instruments/devices or software” (46.0%) and the “Lack
of knowledge or trained personnel to analyze data” (40.9%). These
barriers persisted as top concerns for both current and potential future
users. Respondents expressed a desire for detailed step-by-step
protocols for drone data processing pipelines (34.7%) and in-person
training for personnel (16.5%) as valuable resources for UAS adoption.
The research sheds light on the prevailing perceptions and challenges
associated with UAS usage in agricultural research, emphasizing the
potential of UAS in specific applications and identifying crucial
barriers to address for wider adoption in the agricultural sector.
Black Chartered Accountants in Post-Apartheid South Africa: Global Implications for the Profession
Authors: Musundwa Sedzani , Hammond Theresa A. 
Published: January 2024

SYNOPSIS
Although South Africa’s Apartheid system legally ended with the advent of democracy in 1994, by 2021 only 15 percent of chartered accountants were Black. This is despite the fact that 80 percent of the South African population is Black. We examine this underrepresentation through interviews with 22 Black South Africans who earned their chartered accountancy certification in the second decade of the 21st century. This study reveals the similarities and differences between the experiences of those we interviewed and those who initially broke into the profession in the 20th century (see Hammond, Clayton, and Arnold 2009). In both eras, entry to the field was constricted by professional closure. While the officially mandated educational and employment barriers that previous generations faced have been dismantled, Black aspirants continue to face immense barriers to entering the profession. Their experiences suggest ways forward in making the worldwide profession more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
Transspråking inn i barnehagekonteksten: En språkideologisk diskusjon av språknormer i pedagogiske praksiser
Authors: Alstad Gunhild Tomter , Pesch Anja Maria 
Published: January 2024

Artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i at ingen utdanningspraksis eller utdanningsteori er nøytral eller fri for normer og ideologier, og at det derfor er viktig å belyse hvordan pedagogiske praksiser i barnehagen – som transspråklige pedagogiske praksiser – også kan speile og reprodusere maktforhold, ideologier og normer. Vi retter søkelyset mot hvordan synet på språk som ligger til grunn for transspråking kan ha betydning for barnehageforskning og i barnehagepraksiser. Vi tar utgangspunkt i en pågående diskusjon i internasjonal forskning om betydningen av transspråking og hva det underliggende språksynet innebærer for både forskning og utdanningspraksis. Vi løfter deretter denne diskusjonen inn i norsk barnehagekontekst og viser hvordan sentrale elementer kan kontekstualiseres i skiftet fra US-amerikansk til norsk og europeisk kontekst, samtidig som praksiser kan bekrefte sentrale pedagogiske og profesjonsetiske perspektiv.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
Translanguaging in Early Childhood Education Context: A Language Ideology Discussion on Language Norms and Pedagogical Practices
The starting point for this article is that no teaching practice nor theory is neutral or free of norms and ideologies. Therefore, it is important to shed light on how pedagogical practice in ECEC – such as pedagogical translanguaging – also may reflect and reproduce power relations, ideologies and norms. Different language ideologies, on which pedagogical translanguaging is based, may be significant for research or pedagogical practice. The article is based on the ongoing international discussion concerning the significance of translanguaging, the underlying view on language(s) and their implications for research and teaching practice. We discuss the relevance for Norwegian ECEC and point out how central elements may be contextualized in the transfer from a US- American to a Norwegian and European context and how translanguaging practices may confirm pedagogical and professional ethical perspectives.

Published: January 2024

A study was undertaken during the rabi season (October, 2021 to March, 2022) at the crop research center Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India to find out the genetic divergence in 40 genotypes of Indian mustard using the D2 statistical approach. Forty (40) diverse genotypes of Indian mustard were examined for genetic divergence using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Observations were recorded on various 14 characters viz; days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of primary branches plant-1, number of secondary branches plant-1, siliquae on main axis, length of main axis (cm), siliqua length (cm), number of seeds siliqua-1, 1000 seed weight (g), biological yield plant-1 (g), harvest index (%), oil content (%) and seed yield plant-1 (g). Mahalanobis D2 statistics were applied to the analysis of genetic divergence. Based on D2 values 40 genotypes were grouped into 5 clusters, maximum genotypes eleven obtained in cluster IV after that cluster I with nine genotypes, cluster V with eight genotypes, cluster III with seven genotypes and cluster II with five genotypes. The maximum intra-cluster was in cluster IV. The maximum inter-cluster distance was revealed between cluster II and V. It is clearly indicated that the genotypes included in this cluster are having a wide spectrum of genetic diversity. According to the role of many traits under examination in the manifestation of genetic divergence, plant height had the biggest contribution to divergence.

Authors: Cania Meta , Kusriandi Wendi , Dwiniasih Dwiniasih 
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to look into pre-service EFL teachers' self-efficacy beliefs about teaching English as they progress through their teaching practicum. The study's findings were gathered through a survey of 20 pre-service EFL teachers enrolled in the Faculty of Education at one of Cirebon's private universities. Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scales of 24 questions were used to gather data, which evaluates pre-service teachers' self-efficacy on three subscales: student engagement, instructional strategy, and classroom management. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine which EFL pre-service teachers had the highest and lowest levels of self-efficacy. The study's findings revealed that their self-efficacy is at a medium level, and they are more effective in terms of instructional strategy. The study of self-efficacy regarding EFL students' practicum has significance for any institution involved in building higher-quality programs for future-generation teachers.
Navigating Spaces, Transforming Places: A Masseyan Analysis of Gender Empowerment in Kamali
Authors: Jebeshy R Ms. Abish 
Published: January 2024

Discrimination against men and women is largely made possible by the gendered division of space. It is normal for men to occupy public spaces, whereas women are restricted to domestic spaces like kitchen. As Indian society is patriarchal, it resonates with the mainstream discourse of spatial gender division. Women’s access to sports is limited by this gendered spatial setup as sporting activities are performed in so-called public spaces; traditionally, sports have been considered a “male preserve.” (Theberge, 1985) Adventure sports like skydiving, surfing, skating, mountain climbing, and mountaineering are traditionally performed by men. Hence, the mere participation of women in these activities challenges the masculine hegemony and gendered division of space that these activities entail. This paper critically examines the documentary titled, “Kamali” (2019) directed by Sasha Rainbow, which tells the inspiring story of Kamali Moorthy, a young skateboarder challenging societal norms in a small fishing village in Tamil Nadu, India. By employing Doreen Massey's space, place, and gender theory, the paper seeks to examine how the film explores the intersections of space, place, and gender within the cultural context. Doreen Massey's theoretical framework emphasizes the fluidity and relational nature of space and place, challenging fixed and essentialist perspectives.
Making Use of Prepositions: An Academic Proposal to Strengthen Writing Skills in First Level Students of English at the Universidad Técnica del Norte of Ibarra, Ecuador
Authors: Congo Rubén , Congo Cervantes Marlen Mishel , Congo Cervantes Dillan Steaven 
Published: January 2024

This research-based article shows strengths and weaknesses that first level students of English at the Universidad Técnica del Norte of Ibarra-Ecuador have on the uses, functions and meaning of English prepositions. Prepositions, as part of the grammar system, can occur everywhere in the process of writing, and there are not many rules to help beginner students to use them correctly. It is difficult for students to learn to use prepositions all on their own; even after a lot of work and effort to achieve a high English proficiency level, students of English still struggle with prepositions. Thus, the main purpose of this work was to describe and explain why beginner students of English make mistakes when using prepositions in writing, and then contribute to the correct use of prepositions in English to strengthen not only Speaking but Writing skills. The findings showed that there were some mistakes that beginner students committed at the moment of using prepositions when writing; the main errors encountered have relation with the following phenomena: i) Language transfer or interference from the mother tongue, ii) Transfer of training, and iii) Overgeneralization of target language rules. Therefore, this article indicates that guiding students in the study of prepositions is essential before fossilization occurs; it also motivates teachers to supplement their classes with refreshing activities and exercises that will give learners exposure to target writing since beginners.
Function of the S1P pathway in hypoxia-induced cardiovascular failure
Authors: Zhou Fangping , Tang Weihong 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background: Vascular failure (VF) and heart failure (HF) are extremely harmful and are the primary causes of hypoxia. Our previous results have shown that the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) pathway was involved in regulating intermittent hypoxia–induced vascular defection, but the clinical role and molecular mechanism of the S1P pathway remain unclear.

Methods: Normalized relative expression values and differentially expressed genes were downloaded in GSE145221 from the Gene Expression Omnibus dataset. WGCNA was used to construct a gene co-expression network. The Spearman correlation matrix was used to identify the top 500 highly correlated genes with the S1P pathway genes. R package clusterProfiler was used to perform Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses on the WGCNA modules. Homer software was utilized to identify regulatory motifs in the promoter and gene body regions of S1P pathway genes. An intermittent hypoxic injury cell model was induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH). ROS and TUNEL staining and Western blot were used to detect cell apoptosis and reactive oxygen species.

Results: The transcriptional regulatory regions of S1P pathway genes were enriched with hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha, which indicated the close connection between the S1P pathway and the CIH process. In vitro, we confirmed that the endothelial cell apoptosis induced by CIH could be reversed by exogenous addition of S1P.

Conclusions: This study elucidated the mechanism of the S1P pathway in regulating cardiovascular injury caused by CIH and provided a new strategy for early intervention in people with cardiovascular dysfunction induced by hypoxia.
Predictive value of expression of the CXCR4/Akt signaling pathway in the peripheral blood for brain glioma
Authors: Zou Xueli 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the activation of the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4)/Akt signaling pathway in the peripheral blood of individuals diagnosed with brain glioma and assess its potential as a predictive marker.

Methods: A study was carried out on 120 patients diagnosed with brain glioma who were admitted between September 2015 and October 2016 (referred to as the brain glioma group). Additionally, a control group consisting of 100 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations during the same time frame was included. According to the postoperative follow-up results, the patients with brain glioma were divided into death subgroup (n=30) and survival subgroup (n=85). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to identify the presence of molecules associated with the CXCR4/Akt signaling pathway in the peripheral blood samples.

Results: The expressions of the CXCR4/Akt signaling pathway-related molecules differed significantly among tumor World Health Organization (WHO) grades and clinical outcome subgroups (P<0.05). The CXCR4 expression showed a significant correlation with the WHO grade of the tumor, Akt mRNA, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin (P<0.05). The prognosis was significantly influenced by the elevated levels of CXCR4/Akt, tumor WHO grade, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin, which acted as autonomous risk factors. The prognostic prediction accuracy of CXCR4/Akt was 90.48% for sensitivity and 94.87% for specificity, with a significant area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.908 (P<0.05). Patients with high levels of CXCR4/Akt signaling pathway-related molecules had a considerably lower 5-year survival rate compared to those with low levels (21.08% vs. 46.37%, P<0.05).

Conclusions: The expression of the CXCR4/Akt signaling pathway is significantly up-regulated in the peripheral blood of patients with brain glioma and is closely related to malignant tumor transformation.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
This research examines how investment risk is treated within a selection of 667 articles from the Web of Science database, made by applying keywords and filters, within a bibliometric analysis. The keywords by which the selection was made were investment risk, and the specific filters were: the authors’ countries of origin, EU states, and the articles to be published in the period 2019-2023 in order to identify current risks associated with investments. To ensure that the aspects analyzed are from the economic field, we chose the fields of economics, management, and business in the Web of Science categories. In Citation Topics Meso, we chose the subfields of economics and management.
The authors’ territorial distribution and affiliation were analyzed using the Web of Science and VOS viewer software functions. The analysis of the density of words and phrases associated with investment risk was substantiated with the help of Word Cloud software, Word Art, and VOSviewer software, applying the co-occurrence filter. The results generated after filtering reveal 5 clusters with a total of 87 words that are associated with investment risk, appearing at least 10 times. In addition, besides the words risk and investments, other terms with strong links in the selection were performance, impact, determinants, market, growth, and liquidity. The associations resulting from our research can form the basis of other research regarding the decision to invest and the classification of the investments or the risks to which the investment process is subject.
