Published: May 2023

Ante las exigencias actuales dentro de la formación docente, se evidencia una deficiencia en el desarrollo del pensamiento reflexivo en los estudiantes de la carrera de Educación frente a la falta de una política idónea respecto a la formación inicial docente, como a la carencia de estrategias docentes adecuadas que permitanimpulsar un raciocinio más profundo en los estudiantes y la enseñanza tradicional que no fomenta la construcción del conocimiento. Objetivo: analizar las habilidades cognitivas que emplea el estudiante al utilizar el diario de aprendizaje, determinar los niveles de reflexión predominantes al registrar la información y contribuir al desarrollo de su uso como estrategia para promover el pensamiento reflexivo.Materiales y método: diarios de aprendizaje sobre la base de la Taxonomía de Bloom para clasificar las reflexiones en tres niveles: racionalidad técnica (nivel 1), racionalidad práctica (nivel 2) y racionalidad crítica (nivel 3). La investigación de tipo cualitativa, paradigma interpretativo, con diseño fenomenológico. Se aplicó a trece estudiantes de formación inicial de Educación de una universidad privada de Lima Metropolitana.Resultados: todos los participantes realizaron reflexiones descriptivas desde el nivel 1, pero solo 7 alcanzaron el nivel 2. Sin embargo, ningún estudiante alcanzó la racionalidad crítica correspondiente al nivel 3. Conclusión: se debe reforzar la profundización de los aprendizajes de manera crítica y reflexiva como parte de las competencias de egreso esperadas para la formación inicial docente.
El dilema de la evaluación

Published: May 2023

Con la firme creencia de que las crisis se producen por acciones que ponemos en marcha de forma deliberada y generan un cambio (por suponer una ruptura con todo lo anterior), uno de los momentos más importantes en la historia de la evaluación se dio con la crisis de la relevancia. Gracias a una conferencia impartida por Miller (1) ante los miembros de la Asociación Americana de Psicología (APA), los psicólogos se dieron cuenta de que se habían centrado mucho en el laboratorio y se habían olvidado de lo relevante; esto es, las necesidades reales de la población. A partir de ahí, los psicólogos se comprometieron a investigar los problemas sociales, diseñar programas dirigidos a solucionar esos problemas sociales y evaluarlos. En este contexto, el objetivo de este breve artículo de opinión es exponer, desde una mirada crítica, el uso que se ha hecho hasta ahora de la evaluación.

Published: May 2023

Background: COVID-19 has become a primary public health issue in various countries across the world. The main difficulty in managing outbreaks of infectious diseases is due to the difference in geographical, demographic, economic inequalities and people's behavior in each region. The spread of disease acts like a series of diverse regional outbreaks; each part has its disease transmission pattern.
Objective: This study aims to assess the association of socioeconomic and demographic factors to COVID-19 cases through cluster analysis and forecast the daily cases of COVID-19 in each cluster using a predictive modeling technique.
Methods: This study applies a hierarchical clustering approach to group regencies and cities based on their socioeconomic and demographic similarities. After that, a time-series forecasting model, Facebook Prophet, is developed in each cluster to assess the transmissibility risk of COVID-19 over a short period of time.
Results: A high incidence of COVID-19 was found in clusters with better socioeconomic conditions and densely populated. The Prophet model forecasted the daily cases of COVID-19 in each cluster, with Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 0.0869; 0.1513; and 0.1040, respectively, for cluster 1, cluster 2, and cluster 3.
Conclusion: Socioeconomic and demographic factors were associated with different COVID-19 waves in a region. From the study, we found that considering socioeconomic and demographic factors to forecast COVID-19 cases played a crucial role in determining the risk in that area.

Keywords: COVID-19, Facebook Prophet , Hierarchical clustering, Socioeconomic and demographic

Monitoring for the presence of invasive arboreal rodents: an assessment of monitoring tools across forest strata
Authors: Nance Alexandra Hilary , Wilson Melinda , Cook Carly N , Clarke Rohan H 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Accurate detection of invasive rodents is essential to guide appropriate management responses, including effective control. Due to the arboreal behaviour of some invasive rodent species, above-ground monitoring may provide managers with a clearer picture of rodent presence. Numerous ground-based rodent monitoring tools have been tested and compared, but how these tools perform in an arboreal context is unknown. Our study sought to compare the strata-specific detection capability of three widely applied rodent monitoring tools using a nested design. Over two month-long periods, we deployed 180 monitoring stations at the ground, mid-storey and canopy across 30 forested sites. Each monitoring station consisted of a camera trap, chew card and tracking tunnel positioned to detect rodent presence. Device agreement was high, with all devices detecting rodent presence at 50% of stations. Chew cards were the most sensitive above-ground tool, implied by positive rodent detection 90% of the time, while tracking tunnels and camera traps generated a positive detection 74% and 75% of the time respectively. Low equipment costs also made chew cards the most cost-effective method. Detection performance differed according to the strata in which the device was deployed, thus a combination of methods that includes camera traps and chew cards was most effective when implementing a three-dimensional rodent monitoring network in forested settings. While not all methods are equal, traditionally ground-based rodent monitoring devices can be used to effectively monitor arboreal rodent activity. We provide evidence-based guidance for invasive rodent monitoring in an arboreal context to support future invasive rodent population control or eradication programs.
Neural Network Models in Fashion Design Recommendation with Interactive Visualization Methods
Authors: Zhao Defu , Zou Qunying 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
As people demand for personalized clothing continues to grow, the application prospects of visual interactive design software in the clothing industry are very promising. But the traditional design process depends a lot on the work of designers, and only experienced designers can think about how style and pattern affect the overall look of clothing. As an artificial intelligence technology that has been around for a while, neural networks can be used to help with design by suggesting materials for clothes. This paper suggests a way to recommend clothing materials to designers using clothing design software by combining interactive visualization and neural network models. The method utilizes the progress and content information of the designer's current project and extracts features through a convolutional neural network (CNN) to recommend the design materials that may be needed next. The experimental results show that this method can not only provide better material recommendations for designers but also improve design efficiency and shorten the design time. Based on the Polyvore dataset, the test results show that when using this method, designers chose materials at the top of the recommendation 67% of the time, reduced the time between material selections by 43%, and reduced the average number of completed steps in the project by 56%. This method performs well in many aspects and can be integrated into clothing design software as an effective tool for clothing designers.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Background: Population based studies have shown large differences in the estimated prevalence of complementary and integrative health (CIH) usage between studies. This is in part due to there being no golden standard definition for CIH. In Finland, an updated and internationally comparable study on the prevalence of CIH usage is needed. In the present study, a modified Finnish version of the International Questionnaire to Measure Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (I-CAM-QFI) was utilised to examine prevalence of use of different CIH modalities and the experienced helpfulness in the general Finnish population.
Methods: Respondents (n = 3244) aged 16 and above were invited to take part in the I-CAM-QFI through an online panel in December 2022. The usage of CIH and the experienced helpfulness were described as the proportion of users per each modality. The data were weighted based on gender, age and place of residence.
Results: CIH was used by 51.1% (95%CI: 49.4-52.8) of the respondents in the 12 months prior to the survey. Self-help practices were the most used category of CIH (28.8%; 95%CI: 27.3-30.4). The prevalence of usage of CIH natural remedies excluding vitamins and minerals was 27.0% (95%CI: 25.5 -28.6). CIH providers were visited by 20.4% of the respondents (95%CI: 19.0-21.8). CIH was generally used more by women compared to men. The large majority found the modalities they used helpful.
Conclusions: The results increase current understanding on CIH usage in Nordic countries. As the majority of users experience CIH as helpful, there is a need to study CIH in the context of public health policies. The estimates of CIH usage are highly dependent on what is considered as CIH, and this should be paid attention to in future studies.
Signal-transducing adaptor protein 1 (STAP1) in microglia promotes the malignant progression of glioma

Abstract
Background Glioma is the most malignant primary brain tumor with a poor survival time. The tumour microenvironment, especially glioma-associated microglia/macrophages (GAMs), plays a major role in the pathogenesis of glioma. Currently, microglia (CD11b+/CD45Low) and macrophages (CD11b+/CD45High) are distinguished as distinct cell types due to their different origins. Moreover, Signal-transducing adaptor protein 1 (STAP1) plays a role in tumourigenesis and immune responses. However, to date, no studies on STAP1 in GAMs have been reported.Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas databases were used to investigate the association between STAP1 mRNA levels and clinical parameters (grades, mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase, and overall survival). RNA-Sequencing, qRT-PCR, western blotting, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence analyses were performed to detect the expression level of STAP1 and related proteins. BV-2 cells were used to construct a STAP1-overexpressing cell line. Phagocytosis of BV-2 cells was assessed by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscope. C57BL/6 mice were used to establish orthotopic and subcutaneous glioma mice models. Glioma growth was monitored by bioluminescence imaging.Results STAP1 expression in glioma-associated microglia is positively correlated with the degree of malignancy and poor prognosis of glioma. Moreover, STAP1 may promote M2-like polarisation by increasing ARG1 expression and inhibiting microglial phagocytosis of microglia. Increased ARG1 may be associated with IL-6/STAT3 pathway. Impaired phagocytosis may be associated with decreased cofilin and filopodia.Conclusion STAP1 is positively associated with the degree of glioma malignancy and may represent a potential novel therapeutic target for glioma.
Design of multistage FBG with variable filter parameters
Authors: ali hosam A.M. , Mohra Ashraf S. , Hussein Khalid F. A. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The fundamental issue limiting long-distance and high-speed optical fiber transmission is dispersion. Dispersion impairs system performance, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the bit error rate (BER). To address this, numerous dispersion modification techniques have been developed. The use of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is one of the efficient strategies for dispersion compensation. The FBG is frequently used as a filter. The proposed model uses uniform fiber Bragg grating UFBG. Two cascaded FBGs with varying lengths, a constant grating period, and a constant spacing between FBGs are employed in the proposed thesis. The input signal for the stage that follows is the output signal from the previous stage. The best performance and many applications are considered while modeling, analyzing, and comparing this system. Transmission and reflection in two cascaded stages of fiber Bragg grating using first and second order are studied. The mathematical equations for the proposed model are simulated in MATLAB.
