Students’ And Teachers’ Perspectives on ICT Integration in Learning Process During Pandemic
Authors: Tayaban Alma D. 
Published: January 2023

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration allows educators to update traditional coaching to meet the global demand for fully technology-based coaching and mastering equipment and learning tools.
This study wants to identify students and teachers’ perceptions on how effective ICT integration is in supporting the teaching and learning process in the classroom.
The researcher used quantitative methodology, developed survey questionnaire and administered to target respondents in the three campuses of Ifugao State University. Respondents were composed of 66 Education students and 35 faculty members. The data for this quantitative study was examined using descriptive and inferential statistics.
It was found out that most teachers and students agreed on the effectiveness of ICT integration in the teaching and learning process. The findings showed that ICT integration is beneficial for teachers teaching quality, improve learning materials and motivate students to be more creative and imaginative. Thus, learning and teaching become effective with ICT integration.
Based on the results, it is recommended that for teachers, a digital literacy assessment may be administered to the teachers, after which a series of hands on activities will be conducted. For students, in order to derive the maximum effect regarding the use of ICT in learning, an action research may be conducted first among students to identify and solve issues on the use and challenges of ICT in teaching and learning.
Casa Bamba: Ancestralidade, resistência e memória coletiva em um povoado de Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Negruzzi Guido Andrés 
Published: January 2023

Casa de Bamba é um local na Argentina em uma área serrana da província de Córdoba. Deve o seu nome a um relato baseado na provável presença de uma pessoa escravizada fugida chamada Bamba, que segundo as diversas narrativas teria residido numa caverna demolida no final de 1800 para abrir caminho ao trem. No presente artigo se indaga sobre a a denominação deste lugar, analisando alternativas impensáveis para o discurso hegemônico tais como a existência de quilombos na Argentina. Levanto também, a necessidade de refletir a partir do presente, integrando os debates que se desenvolvem no Brasil acerca da ressemantização na palavra quilombo, amplamente usada neste país e de uso cotidiano na
Argentina, para considerar uma das dimensões do território e sua relação com algumas categorias recentes, como “comunidade ancestral”, utilizada por uma parte dos habitantes de Casa Bamba para caracterizar seu povo.

Jeanne Favret-Saada constrói um plano metodológico inteiramente novo na antropologia que reconhecemos nas dobras de seus textos várias linhas de criação e diferentes ideias-ferramentas que podem ser experimentadas por outros/as praticantes da pesquisa na antropologia. Como uma caixa de ferramentas, seus textos oferecem, mais do que pontos de apoio, linhas de derivação e flutuação que apontam caminhos para criação etnográfica.
A ideia de traduzir esses três artigos de Jeanne Favret-Saada surgiu da nossa compreensão comum sobre a importância de seu modo de fazer e de conceber a antropologia que a autora propagou na disciplina e que fertilizou nossos respectivos trabalhos. A nossa proposta de trazer esses três textos para os/as leitores/as da Cadernos de Campo nasce de um desejo de que sua obra –profundamente original e provocadora– seja mais conhecida do público brasileiro.
Os artigos são elaborações mais recentes em que a autora retoma três momentos de sua obra: pesquisa etnográfica sobre feitiçaria, pesquisa com material de imprensa sobre polêmicas públicas religiosas e pesquisa em arquivos da Igreja Católica. Nas transições das questões intelectuais de cada artigo, podemos ver as ferramentas criadas por Jeanne Favret-Saada.
Photographic Visualization of Weather Forecasts with Generative Adversarial Networks

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Outdoor webcam images jointly visualize many aspects of the past and present weather, and since they are also easy to interpret, they are consulted by meteorologists and the general public alike. Weather forecasts, in contrast, are communicated as text, pictograms, or charts, each focusing on separate aspects of the future weather. We therefore introduce a method that uses photographic images to also visualize weather forecasts. This is a challenging task because photographic visualizations of weather forecasts should look real and match the predicted weather conditions, the transition from observation to forecast should be seamless, and there should be visual continuity between images for consecutive lead times. We use conditional generative adversarial networks to synthesize such visualizations. The generator network, conditioned on the analysis and the forecasting state of the numerical weather prediction (NWP) model, transforms the present camera image into the future. The discriminator network judges whether a given image is the real image of the future, or whether it has been synthesized. Training the two networks against each other results in a visualization method that scores well on all four evaluation criteria. We present results for three camera sites across Switzerland that differ in climatology and terrain. We show that even experts struggle to distinguish real from generated images, achieving only a 59% accuracy. The generated images match the atmospheric, ground, and illumination conditions visible in the true future images in 67% up to 99% of cases. Nowcasting sequences of generated images achieve a seamless transition from observation to forecast and attain good visual continuity.
The Relative Warming Rates of Heat Events and Median Days in the Pacific Northwest from Observations and a Regional Climate Model

Published: January 2023

Abstract
This paper examines the trends in hot summer days for the Pacific Northwest in observations and a regional climate model ensemble. Hot days are identified by the temperature threshold for several percentile values computed over 10-yr intervals (85th, 90th, and 95th percentiles and absolute maximum) to differentiate heat events of different intensities and are compared to the median temperature (50th percentile). For the stations analyzed, the observed rate of warming during hot days is not statistically different from the warming rate of median days since the 1950s. However, for projections to 2100, hot days show a statistically significant increase in the warming rate of the hottest days compared to the warming rate for median days. Depending on location, the 95th-percentile daily maximum temperature shows a warming rate of up to 0.2°C decade−1 above the median warming rate. The divergence in the trends of median and extreme temperature shows substantial regional variation depending on local terrain and coastlines. The warming trend during hot days is related to the unique circulation patterns during heat events, which respond to different feedbacks and amplifying effects in the land–atmosphere system from those that prevail during typical days. The regional climate model simulations are taken from an ensemble of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model simulations forced by 12 global climate model simulations from phase 5 of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) using the RCP8.5 emissions scenario and 12-km grid spacing.

Significance Statement
The heatwave of June 2021 had substantial societal and ecological impacts, illustrating vulnerability to record-shattering events. This paper addresses whether climate change can cause heat events in the Pacific Northwest to warm at a more rapid rate than typical days. Based on observations, in the recent past, the hottest days warmed at about the same rate as typical days in the recent past. However, results from a high-resolution climate model show a higher rate of warming during the warmest days relative to median days under the most aggressive future emissions scenario. This effect could cause heatwaves to become more intense relative to typical days by 2100, making adaptation to extreme events more difficult.
Energetics of Eddy–Mean Flow Interactions in the East Australian Current System
Authors: Li Junde , Roughan Moninya 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Examining eddy–mean flow interactions in western boundary currents is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of mesoscale eddy generation and the role of eddies in the large-scale circulation. However, this analysis is lacking in the East Australian Current (EAC) system. Here we show the detailed three-dimensional structure of the eddy–mean flow interactions and energy budget in the EAC system. The energy reservoirs and conversions are greatest in the upper 500 m, with complex vertical structures. Strong mean kinetic energy is confined within a narrow band (24.5°–32.5°S) in the EAC jet. Most energy is contained in the eddy fields instead of the mean flow in the EAC typical separation and extension regions (south of 32.5°S). Strong barotropic instability is the primary source of eddy kinetic energy north of 36°S, while baroclinic instability dominates the eddy kinetic energy production in the EAC southern extension, which peaks in the subsurface. The mean flow transfers 5.22 GW of kinetic energy and 3.33 GW of available potential energy to the eddy field in the EAC typical separation region. The largest conversion term is from available potential energy conversion from the mean flow to the eddy field through baroclinic instability, dominating between 29° and 35.5°S. Nonlocal eddy–mean flow interactions also play a role in the energy exchange between the mean flow and the eddy fields. This study provides the mean state of the eddy–mean flow interactions in the EAC system, paving the way for further studies exploring seasonal and interannual variability and provides a baseline for assessing the impact of environmental change.
Interruption Value Type and Source Matter in Different Phases of an Interruption Process: Emotional/Cognitive Impact and Neural Evidence
Authors: Zhou Xingchen , Patrick Rau Pei-Luen 
Published: January 2023

Objective To examine the effect of interruption value type (utilitarian, hedonic) and source (external, internal) in different phases of an interruption process. Background Prior studies on interruption mostly focused on the cognitive outcomes of utilitarian interruptions. Hedonic interruptions are common in life; however, they are not sufficiently explored through research. Hedonic value is closely associated with emotional experiences, and, in turn, influences behaviors. Moreover, the way the effect of values is moderated by interruptions initiated by intrinsic motives is worth exploring. Method A 2 × 2 mixed design experiment was conducted with 48 participants who were asked to respond to instant messages during the writing task. The interruption value was induced by work or non-work tasks. The interruption source was manipulated by providing an alert. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy, behavioral data, and subjective measurements were collected and analyzed. Results Hedonic interruptions increased emotional valence, while utilitarian interruptions decreased it. These effects were strengthened by internal interruptions. The effect of interruption value type on work exhaustion was also moderated by the source. Interruption value type and source influenced the attention allocation before an interruption occurred. Hedonic interruptions led to longer resumption lags, whereas utilitarian interruptions required longer interruption durations. Internal interruptions led to improved performance in the resumed task. Conclusion Interruption source modulate the effect of interruption value type, especially on emotional experience and attention allocation before an interruption occurs. Application Self-initiated hedonic interruptions have emotional benefits, while alerts for utilitarian interruptions will improve attention on the main task before interruptions.

Published: January 2023

Background: Patients undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for symptomatic developmental dysplasia of the hip are usually young and active with high functional demands. Those who participate in sports seek surgical therapy to resume or maintain sports activities. There is little evidence regarding the postoperative level of activity and the extent to which sports activity changes after PAO both qualitatively and quantitatively. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the change in activity level as measured using the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score and the changes in qualitative and quantitative sports activity. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of 123 hips in 111 patients who underwent PAO for developmental dysplasia of the hip between January 2015 and June 2017. UCLA activity score, International Hip Outcome Tool 12, and Subjective Hip Value, as well as practiced sports, frequency and duration of sports activity, and time to return to sports, were assessed. Eventual changes in practiced sports and reasons for those changes were recorded. Results: Of the participating patients, 85% were female and 15% were male. The mean patient age at the time of surgery was 27.7 ± 7.3 years. Mean follow-up was 63 ± 10 months. UCLA score (5.08 ± 2.44 vs 6.95 ± 1.74; P < .001), International Hip Outcome Tool 12 (41.4 ± 22.2 vs 72.6 ± 22.9; P < .001), and Subjective Hip Value (42.8 ± 24.3 vs 80.4 ± 17.8; P < .001) increased significantly from pre- to postoperatively. Significantly more patients participated in low-impact sports postoperatively (31.7% vs 52%; P = .001). Participation in high-impact sports decreased (42.3% vs 36.6%; P = .361). The overall sports activity rate increased significantly (78.8% vs 90.8%; P = .008). Quantitatively, sports frequency in times per week ( P < .001) as well as length of exercise per time ( P = .007) increased significantly. A total of 52 patients (42%) changed sports activities postoperatively. Of these, 35 (28.4%) reported having stopped previously practiced sports after surgery, while 17 (13.8%) reported having started new sports. Reasons for starting and stopping certain sports varied and included hip- and non–hip related ones. In only 2 cases was physician’s advice given as a reason for changing the sport. Conclusion: Patients can improve their sports activity both qualitatively and quantitatively after PAO. However, a relevant proportion of patients adjusts their sports activities for a variety of hip-related and non–hip related reasons.

Objectives To evaluate humoral and cell-mediated response after three doses of BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) treated with Belimumab (BLM). Methods SLE patients were vaccinated with three doses of BNT162b2-mRNA vaccine (two-dose primary vaccination, third booster dose after 6 months). The humoral immune response was assessed one and 6 months after the second dose (T1, T2), and 6 months after the booster dose (T3). Serological assay was performed (The Liaison® SARS-CoV-2 TrimericS IgG chemiluminescent). Spike-specific T-cell response was monitored 6 months after the second vaccine dose and the percentage of cytokines producing T cells was assessed by flow cytometry. Results Twelve patients [12F; median age 46 years (IQR 8.25); median disease duration 156 months (IQR 188)] were enrolled. At T1, all patients showed seroconversion (median anti-Spike IgG levels 1610 BAU/mL, IQR 1390). At T2––day of the third dose––a significant reduction of median anti-Spike IgG antibodies levels was observed [214 BAU/mL (IQR 94); p = 0.0009]. Anti-Spike IgG were significantly increased at T3, reaching a median value of 1440 BAU/mL (IQR 1316; p = 0.005). Despite declining humoral immunity, almost 60% of patients mounted a virus-specific CD4 + T-cell response 6 months after primary vaccination. Conclusions BLM does not impair humoral response to primary BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. During the follow-up, a decline in antibody levels is evident and the third dose is crucial to increase the specific immune response. Finally, we observed a recall T-cell response to the Spike antigen 6 months after the first vaccination cycle.

Published: January 2023

Background As endothelial dysfunction can be responsible for myocardial ischemia even in the absence of significant coronary lesions, we aimed to assess the correlation between endothelium-dependent vasomotor function and inducible ischemia late after successful coronary angioplasty. Methods In 30 patients without angiographic restenosis or coronary disease progression, coronary endothelial function was determined by acetylcholine infusion 6 months after elective single-vessel stenting of the left coronary artery. Acetylcholine-induced diameter changes were assessed in the proximal and distal segments of both the stented and the contralateral vessels by means of quantitative coronary angiography. A maximal workload ergometric test was also performed prior to endothelial function testing. Results Acetylcholine induced significant vasoconstrictive responses in the distal but not in the proximal segments of both the stented (-11 ± 7% versus baseline; p < .01) and the contralateral vessels (-11 ± 6%; p < .01), which were significantly correlated ( R = .48; p < .05) and were completely reverted by nitroglycerine. Inducible ischemia was the only predictive factor for distal vasoconstriction in the stented vessel ( p < .01) but not in the contralateral vessel (p = .06). Patients with minor signs of ischemia at the ergometric test showed a greater vasoconstriction than those with a completely normal test (-16 ± 7% versus -7 ± 6%; p < .01). Conclusions Exercise-induced ischemia late after successful percutaneous coronary intervention is related to distal coronary endothelial dysfunction.
Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Genotype in Blacks with Diabetic Nephropathy: Effects on Risk of Diabetes and Its Complications
Authors: Crook Errol D. , Genous Lori , Oliver Bonnie 
Published: January 2023

Objective Among blacks, we have observed that diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a more frequent primary cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in women (∼ 50%) than in men (< 20%). In this study, we consider the role of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) polymorphism in determining this gender discrepancy and its role in the course of DN. Methods ACE genotype (I = insertion, D = deletion) was determined in consecutive consenting patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and DN. Charts were subsequently reviewed for renal survival and its determinants (end point: time to ESRD from first clinic visit). Results Fifty-four patients (46 blacks) who had DN and were pre-ESRD consented: II = 6, ID = 31, and DD = 17. The allele frequency for D was ∼. 61 versus .39 for the I allele and did not differ by gender. Renal disease at presentation to the renal clinic was significantly worse in II. Twenty-one patients reached ESRD (II = 4, ID = 13, DD = 4; χ2 not significant), but ACE genotype had no significant effect on renal survival. Initial serum creatinine and blood pressure over follow-up independently predicted renal survival. Among blacks reaching ESRD, the presence of the D allele was associated with higher blood pressures. Patients without a family history of diabetes (χ2, p = .01) or diabetic retinopathy (χ2, p = .02) were more likely to have the DD genotype. Conclusions The gender discrepancy observed in rates of ESRD owing to DN in blacks is not likely dependent on ACE genotype. The effects of ACE genotype on renal disease progression were not significant; however, patients with diabetic nephropathy and DD genotype were less likely to have traditional risk factors for diabetes or diabetic nephropathy.

Objective: To investigate the role of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome type, gut microbiome distribution, and host immunity function in predicting the early and advanced clinical stages of colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: A cross-sectional case-control study was performed which included 48 early stage and 48 advanced patients with CRC enrolled from March 2018 to December 2020. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed to analyze the gut microbiomes of the patients, while T and B lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood were assessed using flow cytometry. TCM syndrome type was measured using the spleen deficiency syndrome (SDS) scale. Results: The abundance levels of Prevotella, Escherichia-Shigella, and Faecalibacterium in the gut microbiota were significantly increased in the advanced group, while Bacteroides was significantly decreased. Phascolarctobacterium was detectable only in the early metaphase group, whereas Alistipes was detectable only in the advanced group. The lymphocyte ( P = .006), T helper cell (TH) ( P = .002), cytotoxic T cell (TC) ( P = .003), double positive T cell (DPT) ( P = .02), and total T counts ( P = .001) were significantly higher in the early metaphase group than in the advanced metaphase group. Compared with patients with early stage CRC, the advanced group had a higher SDS score. After adjusting for clinical stage, Spearman’s correlation analysis showed interactions among gut microbiome abundance, T cell level, and SDS score. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that after controlling for the SDS score, abundance of Alistipes and Faecalibacterium, and double negative T cell (DNT) level, DPT was significantly associated with a lower risk of advanced-stage disease (hazard ratio, 0.918; P = .022). Conclusion: Our study suggested associations between clinical stage, SDS, gut microbiota, and T lymphocytes, which provided insights for a potential prediction model for the disease progression of CRC.
