Investigating English Teachers’ Perceptions of English language Education through the Q Method
Authors: Ünsal Fırat , Kasap Süleyman 
Published: October 2023

Educators, politicians, and scholars have been interested in English language education for many years. Despite the rising significance of English as a global language, there still needs to be agreement on the most effective techniques for teaching English language skills. Understanding the opinions and attitudes of English instructors towards language instruction might assist in shaping educational practises and initiatives. This research sought to evaluate English instructors' perspectives on English language education using the Q approach. Q methodology is a research strategy that enables people to rank and prioritise their ideas on an issue, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of people’s viewpoints. The research included 40 English language instructors from various areas of Turkey who were asked to rate 20 English language education statements based on their degree of agreement. A survey of the literature and conversations with instructors and students were used to construct the assertions. The study’s findings indicated three unique points of view among English language instructors, which the researchers named "Traditionalists," "Idealists," and "Realists." Traditionalists felt that language learning should be based on knowledge of linguistic norms and emphasised the significance of grammar and translation abilities. The Idealists felt that language study should strengthen students’ abilities to communicate and comprehend diverse cultures and that communication and critical thinking skills should be prioritised. Realists emphasised practical abilities and tactics that can be used in everyday life, and they felt that language instruction should be relevant to students personal and professional aspirations. The research finds that varied opinions and attitudes towards English language education among English instructors might impact their teaching practises and tactics. The research also emphasises the necessity of knowing teachers’ opinions on language instruction and the possible advantages of investigating instructors’ perceptions using the Q technique. This research has practical consequences for language education policy and teacher education programmes.
Herança monástica na gastronomia e vinhos da região do Minho
Authors: Maia-Marques Gonçalo 
Published: October 2023

A presente investigação propõe-se apresentar uma proposta de síntese em torno do papel que as Ordens Religiosas, em virtude do seu posicionamento privilegiado na região do Minho (Portugal), tiveram na afirmação e valorização do riquíssimo património gastronómico e vínico de que hoje dispomos. Nesse sentido, cruzam-se fontes primárias e secundárias, entre receituários, obras artísticas e trabalhos historiográficos ligados à temática central, considerando sobretudo dados relativos à época moderna (séculos XV-XVIII) tendo em conta que, após a extinção de muitas destas instituições, os seus receituários foram (re)interpretados nas casas particulares e deram origem – por exemplo na doçaria – a curiosas (re)criações que hoje são apresentadas como referentes de natureza conventual quando, na realidade, são de inspiração conventual. A investigação centra-se nos casos da Ordem Beneditina e da Ordem dos Cónegos Regrantes de Santo Agostinho.

L’articolo presenta il report di una ricerca sul tema dell’identità (IP) dell’Educatore professionale (EP), identificandone alcuni tratti essenziali che sono stati sottoposti all’opinione dei professionisti. Concettualizzare, individuare una tecnica di rilevamento e misurazione, valutare se esista un’identità professionale diffusa tra i professionisti EP in Italia,sono state le tre domande di ricerca.
Un campione di 1579 Educatori professionali ha compilato un questionario “on-line” fornendo utili suggerimenti per comprendere i tratti distintivi dell’identità di questo professionista. È stato proposto un modello di IP come variabile unidimensionale, costituito da quattro sottodimensioni, dodici elementi qualificanti e trentadue item d’indagine. La validazione del questionario, con tecniche psicometriche moderne, ha consentito di costruire una scala di misurazione dell’identità professionale dell’Educatore denominata Id-Prof_EP-32.
Successive ricerche condotte anche su differenti professioni con l’utilizzo del medesimo strumento e modello di riferimento potrebbe consentire lo sviluppo di una riflessione condivisa sul tema dell’identità professionale, tratto distintivo e motore di sviluppo delle professioni in ambito riabilitativo.

<p>This paper is based on Bioinformatics, where in our research on individuals with Type 2 Diabetes, we utilized a feature importance method using XGBoost to identify highly expressed genes from RNA sequencing count data. This approach was used instead of relying solely on Adjusted P-Values and Log Fold Changes values to determine significant genes. We also developed a classification pipeline for diagnosing type 2 diabetes (T2D) using RNA-Seq data. </p>
PRESYNC: An Efficient Transaction Synchronization Protocol to Accelerate Block Propagation
Authors: Li Yixin , Liang Liang , jia Yunjian , Wen Wanli 
Published: October 2023

<p>Block propagation is a critical step in the consensus process, which determines the fork rate and transaction throughput of public blockchain systems. To accelerate block propagation, existing block relay protocols reduce the block size using transaction hashes, which requires the receiver to reconstruct the block based on the transactions in its mempool. Hence, their performance is highly affected by the number of transactions missed by mempools, especially in the P2P network with frequent arrival and departure of nodes. In this paper, we introduce Presync, a transaction synchronization protocol that can reduce the difference of transactions between the block and the mempool with controllable bandwidth overhead. It allows mining pool servers to synchronize the transactions in candidate blocks before the propagation of a valid block. High-bandwidth mode conducts a full synchronization of the candidate block using short hashes, and the Merkle root is utilized to match the valid block. Low-bandwidth mode provides a lightweight synchronization by identifying the unsynchronized transactions, so that the missing transactions can be detected with a low redundancy. We study the performance of Presync through the stochastic modeling and experimental evaluations. The results illustrate that high and low-bandwidth modes can respectively reduce the end-to-end delay of compact block by 60% and 78% with bandwidth usages 25KB and 63KB, in a network with 5 active pool servers and 2/3 online probability of full nodes. </p>

Предметом исследований является польдер – предварительно осушенный низменный участок побережий водного объекта, защищенными оградительными дамбы от затопления. Предложена сводная таблица с практическими рекомендациями по эксплуатации и регулированию водного режима зимних, летних, весенних и самотечных польдерных систем для увеличения эффективности и экологичности использования мелиоративных земель. Также приведена методика определения подачи польдерных насосных станций, используя модуль стока. Вычисление основывается на данных водного баланса, а также расчётном сравнении отвода талых вод весеннего половодья и летне-осеннего стока. Приведены схемы польдера с участковыми насосными станциями и насосной установки с погружными насосами, а также принципиальная схема насосной станции типа моста. Показана возможность установки на насосной станции кроме центробежных насосов осевых капсульных насосных агрегатов. В работе отмечается, что сооружения на польдерах – специфические мелиоративные сооружения, отличающиеся режимом работы и конструктивным исполнением. Предлагаемые компоновки польдерных насосных станций осевыми насосами марки ОПВ 2500-4,2 выпускаемых отечественным производством, соответствуют современным требованиям строительства. Приведён алгоритм режима работы польдерной насосной станции, а также показаны варианты соотношения подач при откачке отдельными насосными агрегатами для полного покрытия графика притока воды в поверхностные водотоки.
The subject of the research is a polder which is a pre-drained low-lying section of the coasts of a water body protected by protective dams from flooding. The article offers a summary table with practical recommendations for the operation and regulation of the water regime of winter, summer, spring and gravity polder systems to increase the efficiency and environmental friendliness of the use of reclamation lands. We also analyze the method of determining the supply of polder pumping stations using the drain module. The calculation is based on water balance data, as well as on a calculated comparison of the removal of meltwater from the spring flood and summer-autumn runoff. We show schemes of a polder with precinct pumping stations and a pumping unit with submersible pumps, as well as a schematic diagram of a pumping station of the bridge type. We analyze the possibility of installing axial capsule pumping units at the pumping station in addition to centrifugal pumps. It is noted in the work that the structures on the polders are specific reclamation structures that differ in the mode of operation and design. The proposed layouts of polder pumping stations with axial pumps of the OPV 2500-4.2 brand produced in Russia meet modern construction requirements. The article presents an algorithm for the operating mode of a polder pumping station, as well as shows the options for the ratio of flows during pumping by individual pumping units to fully cover the schedule of water inflow into surface watercourses.
Entre dos mundos: la arquitectura efímera del Día de Muertos en Tzintzuntzan
Authors: Martínez-Aguilar José Manuel , Rodríguez-Cázarez Mirna 
Published: October 2023

La riqueza cultural que representa la celebración del día de Todos los Santos y el día de los Fieles Difuntos, conocida en México como Día de Muertos, ha motivado numerosos estudios antropológicos en donde se describen y analizan las prácticas de diferentes comunidades indígenas, como la velación de los difuntos, la decoración de los altares y sus significados. El presente trabajo se centra en analizar la arquitectura efímera de Tzintzuntzan, elaborada para el Día de Muertos.
Con base en la observación participativa, entrevistas con la gente del lugar y la revisión de estudios previos, se pudo determinar que en estos días los tzintzuntzeños reconfiguran los espacios públicos y privados del poblado y crean una destacada arquitectura efímera, a través del uso de elementos significativos, como altares y arcos, los cuales tienen la intención de abrir un portal que una el mundo de los vivos con el de las ánimas. El diseño de elementos como coronas y altares está determinado según la personalidad y gustos que tenían los difuntos, pero también por la creatividad de los familiares que participan en el proceso.
Eficiencia energética mediante diseño pasivo en la reutilización de edificios con valor patrimonial del siglo XX en México
Authors: Cedillo-Rizo Ana Paulina , Solano-García Naoki Enrique 
Published: October 2023

El comportamiento térmico de diferentes elementos de la fachada de un edificio con valor patrimonial del siglo xx se analizó experimentalmente, comparando el estado actual con una propuesta de diseño pasivo que conserve la estética de la fachada y su valor artístico.
El objetivo es encontrar si al adaptar térmicamente la estrategia de confort de un edificio patrimonial a un nuevo uso sostenible, sin modificar la apariencia exterior, se pueden reducir las demandas de energía y el flujo de calor hacia el interior para mantener los espacios en una temperatura adecuada y confortable.
Se determinaron las estrategias pasivas que se aplicarían considerando el contexto climático del caso de estudio. Después, se analizaron los flujos de calor en los modelados energéticos de los muros con murales de piedra para comparar los resultados con las estrategias pasivas aplicadas. Por último, se estudiaron los efectos de los elementos de sombreado en los espacios interiores.
Los resultados muestran que la propuesta de envolvente, que considera aislamiento térmico, masa térmica y doble vidriado, disminuye considerablemente el flujo de calor hacia el interior. El análisis de los elementos de sombreado sugiere que disminuyen la radiación solar al interior, pero también de la entrada de iluminación natural, por lo tanto, debería evaluarse si es conveniente disminuir el consumo de energía en climatización o en iluminación artificial.
De esta manera, se conserva el valor histórico y artístico de un edificio patrimonial, mientras se adapta a las necesidades climáticas actuales derivadas del calentamiento global, a pesar de las limitaciones de la intervención a la fachada.

Authors: Solano-Meneses Eska Elena 
Published: October 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar un estudio que permita analizar las posibilidades del Placemaking como estrategia para promover la Accesibilidad Universal en la Ciudad, a través de la inclusión de grupos excluidos, y así proponer nuevos enfoques de enseñanza y práctica del diseño y planeación urbana.
El método desarrollado consta de cuatro etapas básicas: a) análisis de los atributos claves del Placemaking para generar condiciones de bienestar en los entornos urbanos de los grupos vulnerables, b) análisis de las consideraciones de la Accesibilidad Universal para generar condiciones de bienestar en los entornos urbanos de los grupos excluidos, c) análisis correlacional entre los principios y metas del Placemaking, y los principios y metas de la Accesibilidad Universal en la ciudad, d) desarrollo de un estudio cualitativo apoyado en investigación documental sobre los principios y experiencias en las intervenciones urbanas, resultado de las propuestas del Placemaking.
Los resultados señalan que existen puntos de encuentro entre el Placemaking y la Accesibilidad Universal, ya que ambas propuestas fortalecen criterios de inclusión en las ciudades que debieran concretarse en las intervenciones urbanas y promoverse en los procesos de enseñanza del urbanismo.
Se concluye que la correlación de estrategias y propuestas dirigidas a la mejora de la ciudad posibilita la construcción de nuevos paradigmas, donde se privilegie lo sustancial de la ciudad, que es el bienestar y la calidad de vida de quienes la habitan.

Pemeliharaan personal hygiene merupakan hal yang penting yang harus dilakukan oleh semua orang. Personal hygiene bisa menentukan status kesehatan. . Bila kesehatan kulit tidak dijaga maka akan timbul penyakit kulit yang di sebabkan oleh jamur,virus, kuman maupun parasit, salah satu penyakit yang sering dijumpai pada penyakit kulit adalah Skabies. (Nursing,2016). Penularan terjadi karena Sarcoptes scabei betina yang di buahi. Kurangnya perhatian pada Pondok Pesantren termasuk elemen di dalamnya yaitu para santri menjadikan Pondok Pesantren merupakan tempat yang dianggap sarangnya penyakit dikarenakan kurangnya pengetahuan santri terhadap penyakit Skabies ini. Faktor yang mendasari sebuah lingkungan komunitas seperti pesantren sering terjangkit Skabies yaitu karena lingkungan yang padat, pengetahuan santri yang terbatas tentang Skabies serta kesadaran santri tentang pentingnya menjaga kebersihan diri dan lingkungannya. Dari data puskesmas pada tahun 2015 angka kejadian Skabies di pondok pesantren Riyadlul Ulum Wadawah tinggi dengan jumlah santri yang terinfeksi 52 orang dan yang tidak terinfeksi 47 orang. Dan dari hasil studi pendahuluan yang dilakukan oleh Purnimarahmi (2016) pada tanggal 01 Maret 2016 dari 10 orang santri di dapatkan data 4 dari 10 orang santri mengetahui tentang penyakit Skabies dan 6 diantaranya tidak mengetahui tentang penyakit Skabies.. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan pada santri , metode dilaksanakan berupa pendidikan kesehatan ceramah, tanya jawab diskusi, dengan strategi advokasi, bina suasana dan pemberdayaan masyarakat pesantren Riyadlul Ulum Wadawah.
Comparison of Peripheral Nerve Conventional and Pulse Radiofrequency Applications in Patients with Primary Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Retrospective Analysis
Authors: ŞENTÜRK İlteriş Ahmet , GÖNÜLLÜ Edip 
Published: October 2023

Aim: This study aims to retrospectively investigate the results of continuous radiofrequency (CRF) and pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) applications to the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve in patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN).
Material and Methods: Patients who experienced a significant reduction in pain symptoms after local anesthetic application to the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve were divided into two groups. The first group received PRF treatment and the second group received CRF treatment. Pain intensity scores of both groups at 1 and 3 months were compared. The results were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: Among the participants, 10 received PRF treatment and another 10 received CRF treatment. At the 1st month follow-up, both groups demonstrated considerable reductions in pain levels. By the 3rd month, no substantial disparities were noted between the two groups in terms of pain-related disability and pain intensity.
Conclusion: Both PRF and CRF interventions emerge as effective and secure techniques applicable to the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve. They should be contemplated as valuable options in cases where conventional medical treatments fall short in delivering adequate pain control.

Abstract
High-resolution, millimeter observations of disks at the protoplanetary stage reveal substructures such as gaps, rings, arcs, spirals, and cavities. While many protoplanetary disks host such substructures, only a few at the younger protostellar stage have shown similar features. We present a detailed search for early disk substructures in Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array 1.3 and 0.87 mm observations of ten protostellar disks in the Ophiuchus star-forming region. Of this sample, four disks have identified substructure, two appear to be smooth disks, and four are considered ambiguous. The structured disks have wide Gaussian-like rings (σ

R
/R
disk ∼ 0.26) with low contrasts (C < 0.2) above a smooth disk profile, in comparison to protoplanetary disks where rings tend to be narrow and have a wide variety of contrasts (σ

R
/R
disk ∼ 0.08 and C ranges from 0 to 1). The four protostellar disks with the identified substructures are among the brightest sources in the Ophiuchus sample, in agreement with trends observed for protoplanetary disks. These observations indicate that substructures in protostellar disks may be common in brighter disks. The presence of substructures at the earliest stages suggests an early start for dust grain growth and, subsequently, planet formation. The evolution of these protostellar substructures is hypothesized in two potential pathways: (1) the rings are the sites of early planet formation, and the later observed protoplanetary disk ring–gap pairs are secondary features, or (2) the rings evolve over the disk lifetime to become those observed at the protoplanetary disk stage.

Abstract
We have selected 337 intermediate- and high-mass young stellar objects (YSOs; 1.5–20 M
⊙) well-characterized with spectroscopy. By means of the clustering algorithm HDBSCAN, we study their clustering and association properties in the Gaia DR3 catalog as a function of stellar mass. We find that the lower-mass YSOs (1.5–4 M
⊙) have clustering rates of 55%–60% in Gaia astrometric space, a percentage similar to that found in the T Tauri regime. However, intermediate-mass YSOs in the range 4–10 M
⊙ show a decreasing clustering rate with stellar mass, down to 27%. We find tentative evidence suggesting that massive YSOs (>10 M
⊙) often (yet not always) appear clustered. We put forward the idea that most massive YSOs form via a mechanism that demands many low-mass stars around them. However, intermediate-mass YSOs form in a classical core-collapse T Tauri way, yet they do not appear often in the clusters around massive YSOs. We also find that intermediate- and high-mass YSOs become less clustered with decreasing disk emission and accretion rate. This points toward an evolution with time. For those sources that appear clustered, no major correlation is found between their stellar properties and the cluster sizes, number of cluster members, cluster densities, or distance to cluster centers. In doing this analysis, we report the identification of 55 new clusters. We tabulated all of the derived cluster parameters for the considered intermediate- and high-mass YSOs.
