Published: December 2023

AbstractIt is common for some participants in self-report surveys to be careless, inattentive, or lacking in effort. Data quality can be severely compromised by responses that are not based on item content (non-content-based [nCB] responses), leading to strong biases in the results of data analysis and misinterpretation of individual scores. In this study, we propose a specification of factor mixture analysis (FMA) to detect nCB responses. We investigated the usefulness and effectiveness of the FMA model in detecting nCB responses using both simulated data (Study 1) and real data (Study 2). In the first study, FMA showed reasonably robust sensitivity (.60 to .86) and excellent specificity (.96 to .99) on mixed-worded scales, suggesting that FMA had superior properties as a screening tool under different sample conditions. However, FMA performance was poor on scales composed of only positive items because of the difficulty in distinguishing acquiescent patterns from valid responses representing high levels of the trait. In Study 2 (real data), FMA detected a minority of cases (6.5%) with highly anomalous response patterns. Removing these cases resulted in a large increase in the fit of the unidimensional model and a substantial reduction in spurious multidimensionality.

Many studies related to the influence of eddies on the primary production chain of marine ecosystems have been conducted; however, this effect tends to be regionally specific, especially in coastal dynamic waters. In the Baltic Sea, mesoscale and submesoscale eddies are a ubiquitous feature of water circulation during summer, when diazotrophic cyanobacteria blooms occur in surface waters due to the excess of phosphorus in seawater. Climatic change may increase the frequency and duration of these negative events in the marine ecosystem. We examined the taxonomic composition, abundance, and primary production of phytoplankton in the southeastern Baltic Sea during the occurrence of the packed eddy system at the end of the abnormally warm summer of 2018. Massive cyanobacteria growth was observed in the plume of the eutrophic Vistula Lagoon in the Gulf of Gdansk. The only species diazotrophic Dolichospermum flos-aquae ((Bornet & Flahault) P. Wacklin, L. Hoffmann & Komárek, 2009) vegetated along the western coast of the Sambia Peninsula. Its colonies reached the highest biomass nearby the dumping site of the Amber Mining Plant in Yantarny, Kaliningrad Region, Russia. The cyanobacteria colonies dispersed in the outgoing jet of a relatively warm eddy dipole. Chrysochromulina spp. (Lackey, 1939) was dominant in these nitrogen-rich waters. In contrast, cryptophyte species dominated in the relatively cold waters of the dipole anticyclone that resulted in a fourfold decline in primary production. The decrease in the number of mobile phytoplankton species was revealed within the “old” eddies near the northern coast of the Sambia Peninsula and the Curonian Spit. Meanwhile, species of the spring–autumn complex Coscinodiscus granii (Gough, 1905), Peridiniella catenate ((Levander) Balech, 1977) and other developed in the community. This implies that the appearance of eddies can cause phytoplankton succession in the coastal area. The mechanism of their influence was similar to the action of other physical factors perturbing a relatively stationary environment. Capture of cyanobacterial colonies by eddies led to an improvement of the ecological situation in the area, as cyanobacteria transported their biomass outside the coastal area. However, the opposite direction processes obviously were the deterioration of light conditions, increased water turbidity, and organic matter concentration.
Orbital Decay of Hot Jupiters due to Weakly Nonlinear Tidal Dissipation

Published: December 2023

Abstract
We study tidal dissipation in hot Jupiter host stars due to the nonlinear damping of tidally driven g-modes, extending the calculations of Essick & Weinberg to a wide variety of stellar host types. This process causes the planet’s orbit to decay and has potentially important consequences for the evolution and fate of hot Jupiters. Previous studies either only accounted for linear dissipation processes or assumed that the resonantly excited primary mode becomes strongly nonlinear and breaks as it approaches the stellar center. However, the great majority of hot Jupiter systems are in the weakly nonlinear regime in which the primary mode does not break but instead excites a sea of secondary modes via three-mode interactions. We simulate these nonlinear interactions and calculate the net mode dissipation for stars that range in mass from 0.5M
⊙ ≤ M
⋆ ≤ 2.0M
⊙ and in age from the early main sequence to the subgiant phase. We find that the nonlinearly excited secondary modes can enhance the tidal dissipation by orders of magnitude compared to linear dissipation processes. For the stars with M
⋆ ≲ 1.0M
⊙ of nearly any age, we find that the orbital decay time is ≲100 Myr for orbital periods P
orb ≲ 1 day. For M
⋆ ≳ 1.2M
⊙, the orbital decay time only becomes short on the subgiant branch, where it can be ≲10 Myr for P
orb ≲ 2 days and result in significant transit time shifts. We discuss these results in the context of known hot Jupiter systems and examine the prospects for detecting their orbital decay with transit timing measurements.

Abstract
We are developing the Gamma-Ray Astro-Imager with Nuclear Emulsion project, designed for 10 MeV–100 GeV cosmic γ-ray observations with a high angular resolution (5′/0.°08 at 1–2 GeV) and a polarization-sensitive large-aperture (∼10 m2) emulsion telescope for repeated long-duration balloon flights. In 2018, a balloon-borne experiment was carried out in Australia with a 0.38 m2 sensitive area and a flight duration of 17.4 hr, including 6.7 hr of Vela observations. Significant improvements compared with the 2015 balloon-borne experiment were achieved by a factor of 5, including both an increase in effective area × time and a reduction in the background contribution. We aimed to demonstrate the telescope’s overall performance based on detection and imaging of a known γ-ray source, the Vela pulsar. A robust detection of the Vela pulsar was achieved with a 68% containment radius of 0.°42, at a significance of 6σ, at energies above 80 MeV. The resulting angular profile is consistent with that of a pointlike source. We achieved the current best imaging performance of the Vela pulsar using an emulsion γ-ray telescope with the highest angular resolution of any γ-ray telescope to date.

Authors: Kosana Devika , Sagar Rajesh , Deepak K. K. , Bhargava Rachna , Patra Bichitra Nanda , Chandran Dinu S. 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Specific learning disorder (SLD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) commonly occur together leading to significant academic underachievement. Individuals with dyslexia not only face behavioral and emotional regulation problems but also psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression.

Materials and Methods:
Sixty adolescents aged 14 years to <18 years were recruited into three groups, namely, SLD-ADHD, SLD, and healthy controls. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were collected using semi-structured pro forma. Psychological distress was assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale.

Results:
The mean age of the study participants was 15.25 ± 1.29 years, 15.10 ± 1.21 years, and 15.60 ± 1.23 years in SLD-ADHD, SLD, and healthy controls, respectively. The male: female ratio was 1.73:1. Developmental delay was significant in SLD-ADHD and SLD when compared to healthy individuals. Statistically significant differences were observed in irregularity at school, academic performance, stress, and lack of clarity of emotions between the three arms. SLD arm recorded significantly lower stress and better clarity of emotions than healthy individuals. Differences recorded were insignificant between the three arms in terms of depression, anxiety, as well as overall difficulties in emotional regulation.

Conclusions:
Compared to healthy individuals, there was a significant developmental delay, more school irregularities, and poorer academic performance in SLD-ADHD and SLD subjects. Adolescents having both SLD and ADHD experienced significantly higher scores on each of the three components of DASS-21 and a greater lack of clarity of emotions compared to individuals having only SLD suggesting the synergistic effect of these disorders on emotional deregulation.

Published: December 2023

En este artículo se aborda el rol fundamental que desempeñan las herramientas de valoración, tales como las rúbricas, en la evaluación de los atributos de egreso de cualquier Programa Educativo y en qué medida permiten identificar el nivel de desempeño de cada uno de los estudiantes en su desarrollo integral.
Las rúbricas son herramientas estructuradas que permiten evaluar el desempeño en diferentes competencias y habilidades a través de criterios bien definidos, al permitir una evaluación precisa y transparente, se han convertido en un recurso valioso para medir el progreso de los estudiantes en áreas clave que son relevantes para su formación académica.
Uno de los aspectos destacados en el artículo es: el cómo las rúbricas ayudan a identificar y evaluar los atributos de egreso, es decir, las habilidades, conocimientos y actitudes que se espera que los estudiantes adquieran al finalizar su proceso educativo.
La evaluación, a través de rúbricas, permite una valoración más completa y detallada de cada atributo de egreso, lo que brinda a los profesores una visión más profunda del desarrollo integral de los estudiantes. Al contar con criterios específicos para cada competencia de cada atributo, es posible medir, de manera más precisa, cómo es que los estudiantes progresan a lo largo del tiempo, en cada una de dichas competencias.
Además, el artículo destaca la importancia de utilizar las rúbricas en un enfoque formativo, es decir, como una herramienta para el aprendizaje y la mejora continua. Cuando los estudiantes conocen los criterios de evaluación de antemano, tienen la oportunidad de autoevaluarse y recibir retroalimentación para identificar áreas de mejora y potencializar sus habilidades.
Las rúbricas representan una herramienta valiosa para evaluar los atributos de egreso de los estudiantes y medir su desarrollo integral. Al proporcionar criterios bien definidos, las rúbricas permiten una valoración más precisa y transparente de dichos atributos, fomentando el crecimiento y el aprendizaje continuo de los estudiantes en áreas clave para su éxito futuro. No obstante, es esencial combinar el uso de rúbricas con otras formas de evaluación para capturar aspectos más subjetivos y promover un enfoque integral en la educación.
Cabe mencionar que también se abordan algunas limitaciones de las rúbricas en la valoración de los atributos de egreso, mismas que podrán ser comprendidas en el contenido del presente artículo.

Modelo SERVQUAL para evaluar la calidad en el servicio al cliente de empresa de autoservicio
Authors: Acosta Haro Elizabeth 
Published: December 2023

La calidad en el servicio puede convertirse, para muchas empresas, en el distingo competitivo que le permita mantenerse y consolidarse en mercados ampliamente competidos, donde los clientes son poco fieles a empresas y marcas y, en ocasiones solo tienen una oportunidad para conquistarlos, por lo que medir la calidad en el servicio, permite que esa oportunidad sea exitosa. El objetivo de la investigación es identificar las áreas de oportunidad en cuanto a la calidad en el servicio al cliente que presta la empresa sujeta a estudio, de tal forma que se puedan atender y mejorar esos aspectos. Para ello se emplea la metodología del modelo SERVQUAL que permite evaluar la calidad en el servicio mediante cinco dimensiones: elementos tangibles, fiabilidad, capacidad de respuesta, seguridad, y empatía, esto con el fin de demostrar si existe una relación positiva entre el servicio otorgado y la satisfacción del cliente. El modelo se aplica a una de las sucursales de empresas de autoservicio, que está teniendo un crecimiento importante en la región, con una muestra de 256 clientes que acuden a adquirir sus productos de manera recurrente. Los resultados arrojan que la dimensión elementos tangibles es la que tiene mayores aspectos de mejora y que es un elemento que está en las manos del empresario atender de manera inmediata por ser cuestiones de infraestructura física. Adicionalmente, se distingue en la dimensión seguridad, la importancia de que el empleado transmita confianza a los clientes, siendo este un elemento que deberá mejorarse a través de capacitar y sensibilizar a los colaboradores. La aplicación del modelo puede servir de orientación a los tomadores de decisiones, en la formulación de las políticas de relación y de atención a los clientes de empresas de autoservicios.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk membincangkan tentang kesedaran mahasiswa Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) dalam kesiapsiagaan memberi bantuan bencana banjir. Hampir setiap tahun Malaysia mengalami bencana banjir tidak mengira tempat atau negeri. Manakala mahasiswa yang bertindak sebagai sukarelawan merupakan elemen yang penting semasa proses bantuan. Amalan semasa dan pada masa depan di dalam mengendali atau menguruskan bencana banjir seharusnya melibatkan penyertaan dari kalangan mahasiswa universiti. Hal ini menjadikan mahasiswa akan terdedah kepada tindakan kesiapsiagaan untuk menghadapi pengurusan bencana banjir di dalam komuniti. Persoalannya, adakah kesedaran dalam kalangan mahasiswa dalam kesiapsiagaan memberi bantuan banjir? Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif menerusi kaedah analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian mendapati kesedaran mahasiswa adalah terletak kepada diri masing-masing selain daripada pendedahan dari pihak universiti dalam memberi kesedaran dan kesiapsiagaan untuk memberi bantuan bencana banjir. Penglibatan mahasiswa dengan aktiviti berbentuk kesukarelawanan secara tidak langsung dapat memberi impak yang positif dalam diri mahasiswa tersebut

Authors: Byiringiro E 
Published: December 2023

Purpose: In class discussion method can be used while studying Mathematics as it is intended to be a free give and take between teacher and students and among students on the current topic of concern in the course. It is characterized by probing questions from the teacher designed to elicit student interpretations, opinions, and questions. The purporse of study is to assess the effect of group discussion method on the performance of Mathematics students in public day Schools in Rwanda” A case of Karongi District’.
Materials and Methods: The study used descriptive research design. Stratified sampling was used to determine a sample of 6 schools among other public secondary schools in Bwishyura sector in Karongi District. The head teachers of the sampled schools were purposively selected to participate in the study. Simple random sampling technique was further applied to obtain Mathematics teachers and students of senior 4,5 and 6, making 783 target students. The study used a sample of 230 respondents from the sampled schools. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis through the statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 21. The data collected were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The probability value of the regression estimate was used in testing the hypotheses of the study.
Findings: The result of the regression analysis indicates that Demonstration Method has a positive effect on Performance of Mathematics students in public secondary Schools in Karongi District and the relationship is statistically significant (p=>0.05). Results showed significant positive relationship between discussion method and the performance of Mathematics students (r = 0.860; p= 0.000). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that discussion method contributed to 72% of variation on the performance, hence plays a vital role in performance of Mathematics students in public secondary schools in Karongi District.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommended that Mathematics teachers should be trained and encouraged in the use of discussion teaching method and the framework for planning lessons and teaching mathematics in our secondary schools should be on group discussion teaching strategy. Moreover, it was also useful to enable learners to take part in discussion, reflection, feedback and to consolidate learning, clarify understanding and explore ideas and concepts.
Manifestations De L’insécurité Linguistique Chez Les Apprenants Kenyans De Français

Published: December 2023

But : L’insécurité linguistique est un sujet recherché à plusieurs reprises dans le domaine de la sociolinguistique. C’est un sentiment d’un locuteur que la manière dont il s’exprime dans une langue en question n’est pas aussi bonne qu’une norme qu’il imagine existe. Cet article cherche à établir les diverses preuves de l’insécurité linguistique parmi les apprenants du Français Langue Étrangère (FLE) aux lycéens kenyans. L’étude est basée sur la théorie du Comportement Planifié par Ajzen (1985). Celle-ci est ancrée sur trois principes : attitude envers le comportement, norme subjective et contrôle comportementale perçue sur lesquels les objectifs sont basés.
Méthodologie : En plus, l’étude est descriptive, donc les données ont été récoltées par questionnaire aux apprenants et interview aux enseignants.
Résultats : L’étude visait une population de 99 apprenants et leurs enseignants. Étant donné que cette population était moins de 100 unités, elle a servi comme échantillon en même temps.
Contributeur unique à la théorie, aux politiques et à la pratique : La recherche a établi que de temps en temps, la majorité d’apprenants souffrent du blocage en parlant français, donc ils font recours à l’anglais ; ou se taisent au cas du blocage total. Par ailleurs, ils évitent de prendre la parole en public ou s’expriment en hésitant. Nous recommandons la participation active des apprenants dans les activités françaises où la prise de parole est requise. Cela cultivera en eux la maitrise et la confiance de parler français sans peur.
Which Tree Species Best Withstand Urban Stressors? Ask the
Experts
Authors: Carol-Aristizabal Maribel , Dupras Jérôme , Messier Christian , Sousa-Silva Rita 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background
The importance of urban trees and their benefits to society are
increasingly recognized. However, cities are a challenging environment
for trees to grow and thrive. Current knowledge on tree vulnerabilities
to existing urban stressors remains scarce and available only for a
limited number of species and specific stressors.

Methods
Using the Delphi method with urban forestry experts familiar with
the studied area and a closed-ended questionnaire, we sought to
elucidate the tolerance of commonly planted urban tree species in
northeastern North America to multiple urban stressors—air pollution,
soil compaction, de-icing salts, insects and diseases, strong winds, ice
storms, snow, drought, and extreme temperatures—as well as to assess
which characteristics may capture a species’ ability to cope with these
stressors.

Results
Ginkgo biloba, Gleditsia triacanthos,
Quercusspp., andUlmusspp.
were rated by urban forestry professionals as the most tolerant species
in northeastern North America to the studied stressors. No species was
listed as tolerant to all stressors. Furthermore, respondents disagreed
on how a given species was likely to be affected by or respond to a
given stressor.

Conclusions
Our study provides a powerful approach to gaining
difficult-to-obtain information on trees’ vulnerabilities to
environmental stressors and identifying the gaps that remain
unaddressed. Our findings fill some of the gaps in our knowledge of city
trees’ vulnerabilities, which makes the approach useful in practice to
inform the choice of tree species that could be planted across our
cities to build more resilient urban forests.
