Future Skills as New Currency for the World of Tomorrow
Authors: Ehlers Ulf-Daniel 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIn a rapidly changing world, the discussion on Future Skills is one of the most topical in educational research. The discussion on Future Skills has been going on for a long time (starting with studies on graduate attributes), is often intangible due to conceptual ambiguity about what skills actually are, and often only refers to digital Future Skills in a reduced way. The research presented here is based on a sound empirical approach, the multi-method, and multi-part NextSkills studies. The intention of the project is to explore the demand for specific Future Skills in more detail and then, in a second step, to substantiate them in terms of educational theory. These Future Skills are classified by the “Future Skills Triple Helix-Model of Capacity to Act in Emergent Practical Contexts.” More specifically, these are skills such as ambiguity competence, ethical competence, self-competence, and others.
Designing Online Learning for Children and Youth
Authors: Borup Jered , Archambault Leanna 
Published: January 2023

AbstractStudents at the primary and secondary levels are increasingly enrolling in online courses either to supplement or completely replace their in-person courses. While there are benefits to learning online, they come at a cost, and students are less likely to pass their online courses compared to their in-person courses. In this chapter, we share two frameworks. We share the 4Es framework that highlights how online courses should be designed to enable, extend, engage, and elevate student learning. However, a well-designed course is not enough, and most students will require support from others to be successful. For this reason, we also share the Academic Communities of Engagement (ACE) framework that highlights the supports that can increase a student’s affective, behavioral, and cognitive engagement. The ACE framework identifies actors within the student’s personal community and course community who can provide students with the support that they require.
Designing Online Learning Communities
Authors: Cleveland-Innes M. , Hawryluk J. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractHigher education course design is moving increasingly toward constructivist, collaborative approaches for higher-order learning. A community-based approach to learning fits both this type of pedagogy and preferred learning outcomes related to critical thinking and metacognition. This is particularly necessary when moving such learning online, and the need for a community is even more important for engagement and motivation than in-person learning, where community and connection is often created organically. Online learning communities can be effectively created using the community of inquiry theoretical framework, as it intentionally makes space for learners to express their teaching, social, and cognitive presences. To support the design of effective online learning experiences, how each presence fits into the constructivist and inquiry-based approaches is explained in this chapter. As well, applications are suggested. Finally, assessment approaches are provided that are in line with the tenets of constructivism, inquiry-based learning, and hence the community of inquiry.
Pedagogical Paradigms in Open and Distance Education
Authors: Dron Jon , Anderson Terry 
Published: January 2023

AbstractBuilding on earlier work that identified historical paradigm shifts in open and distance learning, this chapter is concerned with analyzing the three broad pedagogical paradigms – objectivist, subjectivist, and complexivist – that have characterized learning and teaching in the field over the past half century. It goes on to discuss new paradigms that are starting to emerge, most notably in “theory-free” models enabled by developments in artificial intelligence and analytics, hologogic methods that recognize the many cultures to which we belong, and a “bricolagogic,” theory-agnostic paradigm that reflects the field’s growing maturity and depth.
Conversations on Indigenous Centric ODDE Design
Authors: Restoule Jean-Paul , Snow Kathy 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIn reviewing Indigenous approaches to open, distance, and digital education, the authors found that Indigenous people have been keen to adopt and adapt technologies for their own uses and purposes but are less successful in controlling and creating technologies that dominate the learning landscape. Given the scant literature available on this topic, using the methodologies of kitchen table talks, the authors dialogue their experiences working with Indigenous people and designs in open, distance, and online teaching and education. Through their storytelling, the authors elicit examples of experience in postsecondary education contexts in Canada including the use of talking circles, blended and inclusive learning, development of safe spaces and hubs, and challenges balancing home life and online learning. The importance of relationships, community connection, and validating self and identity in the learning experience were strong themes that emerged from the dialogue. Indigenous pedagogies and knowledges online is a relatively unexplored phenomenon and this initial foray into characteristics, successes, and challenges may be a starting point for future scholars to follow. By sharing highly contextualized narratives from Canada, we aim to increase the global dialogue around decolonizing ODDE and therefore end the chapter by examining our experience against ongoing international discussions.
Bubble migration characteristics in power transformer oil under coupled stresses of forced vibration and electrical field
Authors: Ladislas Niyomugabo Emmanuel , Li Qingmin , Liu Qiushi , Jie Wu , Weimin Huang 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe stresses existing in power transformers lead to the generation of bubbles. They are the primary source that worsens and leads to insulation failure. Due to the complexity of bubble dynamics, it is challenging to figure out bubble mechanisms. However, creation, migration, and accumulation mechanisms require further explanation. A set of experiments has been conducted to provide a scientific overview of bubbles. The results revealed that buoyancy is dominant in low electric fields, while high electric fields affect bubbles' rise. Bubbles stretch and oscillate while moving. When the electric field is not strong, the AC field reduces the duration and volume of bubble detachment. Vibration stress on the other side is leading the bubble motion including detachment frequency and migration speed. Under the combination of AC and vibration stresses, the bubble distortion degree aggravates and bubble gathering formation is easy. This research can provide a deeper acumen of the bubble's actions beneath a power transformer under a combination of vibration and electric fields. It provides essential technique parameters to deal with while investigating bubble's problems and related engineering research areas.
Interactions between the aging brain and motor task complexity across the lifespan: balancing brain activity resource demand and supply

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe Compensation Related Utilization of Neural Circuits Hypothesis (CRUNCH) proposes a framework for understanding task-related brain activity changes as a function of healthy aging and task complexity. Specifically, it affords the following predictions: (i) all adult age groups display more brain activation with increases in task complexity, (ii) older adults show more brain activation compared with younger adults at low task complexity levels, and (iii) disproportionately increase brain activation with increased task complexity, but (iv) show smaller (or no) increases in brain activation at the highest complexity levels. To test these hypotheses, performance on a bimanual tracking task at 4 complexity levels and associated brain activation were assessed in 3 age groups (20–40, 40–60, and 60–80 years, n = 99). All age groups showed decreased tracking accuracy and increased brain activation with increased task complexity, with larger performance decrements and activation increases in the older age groups. Older adults exhibited increased brain activation at a lower complexity level, but not the predicted failure to further increase brain activity at the highest complexity level. We conclude that older adults show more brain activation than younger adults and preserve the capacity to deploy increased neural resources as a function of task demand.
Plastic gear loss estimates from a major Australian pot fishery

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The quantity of plastic fishing gear lost to the ocean remains largely undocumented despite its importance for understanding the magnitude of fishery contributions to plastic marine debris and mitigating contamination at the source. This study estimated plastic gear loss from a major Australian pot fishery by interviewing 50 commercial fishers from the West Coast Rock Lobster Managed Fishery in 2021 to document the plastic gear components used, the number of pots lost, and the causes for gear loss. The estimated annual percentage of gear lost (10.8%) and rate of “active” gear loss by fishing effort (0.2%) were lower than global estimates for other pot fisheries indicating that plastic gear loss from this commercial fishery is relatively low. Plastic gear loss was attributed to rope (47.0%), pot components (30.7%), and floats (22.3%), of which 78.0% were polypropylene and polyethylene. The composition of pots, measures used to prevent gear loss, and changes to management could influence plastic gear loss from this fishery. This is the first study to examine plastic gear loss from an Australian pot fishery with a dynamic approach that provides robust estimates for better understanding plastic gear loss from fisheries and informing plastic mitigation efforts.

Abstract
Among the various biotic factors that disrupt crop yield, Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo) is the most ruinous microbe of rice and causes bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease. The present study focused on the utilization of copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) to control BLB. The copper nanosuspension (259.7 nm) prepared using Na-CMC, CuSO4·7H2O, and NaOH showed effectively inhibited Xoo (65.0 μg/ml). The performance of Cu-NPs in vivo showed enhanced plant attributes (127.9% root length and 53.9% shoot length) compared to the control and CuSO4 treated seedling. Furthermore, Cu-NPs treated seedlings showed 23.01% disease incidence (DI) compared to CuSO4 (85.71%) treated and control plants (91.83%). In addition to enhancing the growth parameters and reducing DI, seed priming with Cu-NPs improved the total chlorophyll content to 36.0% compared to the control. The assessment of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (1.9 U), polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (two- to three-fold) in roots and shoots of rice plants revealed significant enhancement in Cu-NPs treated seedlings (P &lt; 0.05). The present study suggests that Cu-NPs can be used to control Xoo and enhance rice growth.
Heritage Industry, or Lithuanian Notions of the Manor in the 21st Century
Authors: Kulevičius Salvijus 
Published: January 2023

For decades, the notion of a manor was basically unequivocal in the Lithuanian society – it was related to Polish influence (which means it is not ours, Lithuanian). This was the result of political and cultural conflicts between the two nations, a struggle for the power of expression of great narratives and historical memory. The manor with its history and heritage was depicted in negative or at least gloomy colors. Such notions dominated in the consciousness of Lithuanians almost during the whole 20th century. In the second half of the 1980s, the first seeds of alternative or novel notions of the manor emerged in Lithuania. In about 2000, the business discourse appropriated manor culture to create their own notion as developers of products and services for consumers. This paper presents the genesis of this notion, its peculiarities, expressions, and interactions with Lithuanian identity and historical memory.One of the conclusions of the research is that around 2010, a fundamental turning point occurred in the concept and notion of Lithuanian manors, as they came to be associated with native Lithuanian culture and identity – associated, yet not unconditionally accepted. The new role of the manor presents an interesting phenomenon. Manor culture is perceived as attractive because of its different, exotic, and unknown culture.
Early-Onset Sepsis in Newborns
Authors: Briggs-Steinberg Courtney , Roth Philip 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Early-onset sepsis can cause significant morbidity and mortality in newborn infants. Risk factors for sepsis include birth to mothers with inadequately treated maternal group B Streptococcus colonization, intra-amniotic infection, maternal temperature greater than 100.4°F (&gt;38°C), rupture of membranes greater than 18 hours, and preterm labor. The organisms that most commonly cause early-onset sepsis include group B Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, and viridans streptococci. Infants often present within the first 24 hours after birth with clinical signs of sepsis, with respiratory distress as the most common presenting symptom. However, infants can also have respiratory distress from noninfectious etiologies. Therefore, when physicians are faced with asymptomatic infants with risk factors or infants with respiratory distress without risk factors, there is a delicate balance between empirically treating with antibiotics and observing these infants without treating.

Authors: Kas’janenko K. V. , Kozlov K. V. , Zhdanov K. V. , Lapikov I. I. , Belikov V. V. 
Published: January 2023

Aim: to build a predictive model for severe COVID-19 prediction in young adults using deep learning methods. Materials and methods: data from 906 medical records of patients aged 18 to 44 years with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection during 2020–2021 period was analyzed. Evaluation of laboratory and instrumental data was carried out using the Mann-Whitney U-test. The level of statistical significance was p≤0,05. The neural network was trained using the Pytorch framework. Results: in patients with mild to moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection, peripheral oxygen saturation, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, total protein, albumin, hematocrit, serum iron, transferrin, and absolute peripheral blood eosinophil and lymphocyte counts were significantly higher than in patients with severe СOVID-19 (p< 0,001). The values of the absolute number of neutrophils, ESR, glucose, ALT, AST, CPK, urea, LDH, ferritin, CRP, fibrinogen, D-dimer, respiration rate, heart rate, blood pressure in the group of patients with mild and moderate severity were statistically significantly lower than in the group of severe patients (p < 0.001). Eleven indicators were identified as predictors of severe COVID-19 (peripheral oxygen level, peripheral blood erythrocyte count, hemoglobin level, absolute eosinophil count, absolute lymphocyte count, absolute neutrophil count, LDH, ferritin, C-reactive protein, D-dimer levels) and their threshold values. A model intended to predict COVID-19 severity in young adults was built. Conclusion. The values of laboratory and instrumental indicators obtained in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection upon admission significantly differ. Among them eleven indicators were significantly associated with the development of a severe COVID-19. A predictive model based on artificial intelligence method with high accuracy predicts the likelihood of severe SARS-CoV-2 course development in young adults.

Abstract
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a group of neurodegenerative diseases with a chronic and fatal course, which are caused by a misfolded form of the cellular prion protein that is encoded by the host. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the resistance and genetic susceptibility to prion diseases in Pelibuey sheep from Mexico. The sequences of 99 Pelibuey sheep from the central and southwestern regions of Mexico were analyzed to determine the polymorphisms related to resistance and genetic susceptibility to scrapie, the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test and the D-Tajima test was used to identify the effect of evolutionary forces on the PRNP gene. Twelve non-synonymous polymorphisms Q101R, M112T, A116P, G127A, A136V, M137T, L141F, H143R, R154H, Q171R, Q171H, N176K were detected, in addition two synonymous substitutions 231R (agg/cgg) and 237L (ctc/ctg) were found. As a result of the sequence analysis, the ARR allele was not under the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, indicating that there is an evolutionary force at work, and the D-Tajima suggest the existence of purifying genetic selection. In conclusion, Pelibuey sheep exhibit genotypes for the PRNP gene that make them resistant to developing classic scrapie; at least 98% of the population is a carrier of an allele related to scrapie resistance; while for atypical scrapie there is a very high probability that an outbreak occurred in the herds, since the ARQ allele in combination with the L substitution at codon 141 confers susceptibility to carrier sheep.

Authors: Hamid Zainab A. 
Published: January 2023

Background: Autoimmune thyroiditis is one of autoimmune thyroid diseases. The cause of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is not clearly identified; however, both genetic and environmental are suggested to play a role in pathogenesis of the disease. Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is one of the possible causative agents.Objectives: The aim of this study is to look for the association of H. pylori infection with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.Patients and Methods: a case-control study involved patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (n=100) and control group (hyperthyroidism n=50, healthy persons n=50), the study groups were subjected to serological investigation of anti- H. pyloriIgG antibodies, anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody, and anti-thyroglobulin antibody(anti-TG Ab) using ELISA technique; besides, demographic data were collected from studygroups.Results: Eighty two percent of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis patients were females; 57% of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis patients were positive for anti- H. pyloriIgG antibodies while the positive result was detected in only 22% of control group and the results were statistically significant (p <0.05). The strength and directionof the relationship between the concentrations of anti-HP IgGAbs and anti-TPO antibodies in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis group revealed positive correlation (r = 0.6241).Conclusion: the infection with H. pylori is one of the possible predisposing factors to etiology Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The association between H. pylori infection and other genetic and environmental factors that are related to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis should be studied in depth.
