OBJECTIVE
In April 2021, the US government made substantial investments in students’ safe return to school by providing resources for school-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mitigation strategies, including COVID-19 diagnostic testing. However, testing uptake and access among vulnerable children and children with medical complexities remained unclear.

METHODS
The Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Underserved Populations program was established by the National Institutes of Health to implement and evaluate COVID-19 testing programs in underserved populations. Researchers partnered with schools to implement COVID-19 testing programs. The authors of this study evaluated COVID-19 testing program implementation and enrollment and sought to determine key implementation strategies. A modified Nominal Group Technique was used to survey program leads to identify and rank testing strategies to provide a consensus of high-priority strategies for infectious disease testing in schools for vulnerable children and children with medical complexities.

RESULTS
Among the 11 programs responding to the survey, 4 (36%) included prekindergarten and early care education, 8 (73%) worked with socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, and 4 focused on children with developmental disabilities. A total of 81 916 COVID-19 tests were performed. “Adapting testing strategies to meet the needs, preferences, and changing guidelines,” “holding regular meetings with school leadership and staff,” and “assessing and responding to community needs” were identified as key implementation strategies by program leads.

CONCLUSIONS
School-academic partnerships helped provide COVID-19 testing in vulnerable children and children with medical complexities using approaches that met the needs of these populations. Additional work is needed to develop best practices for in-school infectious disease testing in all children.
Genetic resources and precise gene editing for targeted improvement of barley abiotic stress tolerance
Authors: Karunarathne Sakura , Walker Esther , Sharma Darshan , Li Chengdao , Han Yong 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAbiotic stresses, predominately drought, heat, salinity, cold, and waterlogging, adversely affect cereal crops. They limit barley production worldwide and cause huge economic losses. In barley, functional genes under various stresses have been identified over the years and genetic improvement to stress tolerance has taken a new turn with the introduction of modern gene-editing platforms. In particular, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) is a robust and versatile tool for precise mutation creation and trait improvement. In this review, we highlight the stress-affected regions and the corresponding economic losses among the main barley producers. We collate about 150 key genes associated with stress tolerance and combine them into a single physical map for potential breeding practices. We also overview the applications of precise base editing, prime editing, and multiplexing technologies for targeted trait modification, and discuss current challenges including high-throughput mutant genotyping and genotype dependency in genetic transformation to promote commercial breeding. The listed genes counteract key stresses such as drought, salinity, and nutrient deficiency, and the potential application of the respective gene-editing technologies will provide insight into barley improvement for climate resilience.
MAX WEBER'S THEORY OF LAW EDUCATION AND POLITICAL VIEWS OF RELIGION
Authors: Kronis Ivars , Zarins Kristaps 
Published: July 2023

In order to better evaluate Weber's most popular views on the economic ethics of religion, by comparison and due to the interaction of the opposites and sets of views expressed in them, in this work, the discipline of human rights will also be analysed, which will closely identify Weber's asceticism about the spirit of normative Protestantism and the ethics of capitalism and law school and education. The purpose of the research is to establish and identify the ideas expressed by Weber regarding the value scope of social classes, layers and typology of religion, by analysing them – conventionally, but specifically – through the doctrine of lex nature and education impact in school of sociology. Additionally, the purpose of the present work is to answer what is the general structure of Weber's philosophical thoughts and views on school of law, to find and identify in it the asceticism of the sociology of religion, interspersed with the theory of conflict and domination. But the relevance of the research is rooted in the fact that the methods of Weber's scientific approach are used to analyse the state's institutional and orderly system-theoretical dependence from the bureaucratized forms of public authority and this impact in knowledge.

The study focused on the frequencies of Latvian higher education institution student self-reported foreign language learning strategies. From the 86 participants 44 were males and 42 – females; sport science was studied by 48 respondents, and health care by 38; 44.20% were freshmen and 55.80% - sophomores; 76.70% were full-time and 23.30% – part-time students. The study employed the Strategy Inventory for Foreign Language Learning (SILL), consisting of 50 statements divided into 6 categories: memory, cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, social and affective. One statement from the memory strategies was removed, as it was considered non-relevant for the students. Likert scale of three choices - never, sometimes and often – was used. SPSS Version 26 was used for the data analysis. Results: 1) the investigated students tended to use cognitive (mean =2.12; st.dev.=0.29; min,=1,43; max.=3) and compensation (mean =2.11; st.dev.=0.36; min.=1,33; max.=2.83) strategies more often; 2) the students tended to use affective (mean =1.78; st.dev.=0.39; min.=1.00; max.=2.67) strategies less often; Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test showed that compensation strategies are used more often than memory strategies (Z=5.08; Sig. =0.00) and metacognitive strategies were used more often than affective strategies (Z=5.00; Sig. =0.00).
PEDAGOGICAL POTENTIAL OF A PICTURE TO ENHANCE SPEECH FOR CHILDREN WITH LANGUAGE DISORDERS
Authors: Kerevica Jekaterina 
Published: July 2023

The scientist A. Leontyev assures that the language competence is the result of development of continuous use of each language. Only through active communication and active speech activity an understanding about language emerges for the child (Leontyev, 1977). The scientist Glukhov (2005) outlines the skill to improve the language abilities by performing the speech activity in the process of communication. Whereas, one of the most significant factors in the process of mastering the language is a positive emotional background, where the child is encouraged to perceive visible, apparent things, living beings, natural phenomena, to listen and pronounce words which designate them. This also inspires to investigate the pedagogical potential of a picture to enhance speech for children with language disorders.The picture is a significant visual aid for a child not only to be taught but also to have fun for improving the language skills. Therefore, it is worked out a set of pictures as a help for the parents to work with a child at home. In a such way a speech therapist is involving the parents in a teaching process to prolong an educational process with a child. As a result, the parents get a pedagogic experience and the efficient development for a child language.

Published: July 2023

. In the context of the ongoing changes in the education system of Latvia, the principles of learning approach in pre-school education are based on the competence-based approach, as well as the development of transformative skills. To successfully implement change, the need to develop teachers' creativity, entrepreneurship, decision-making, organisational skills, teamwork, cooperation, sociability, risk-taking and assessment, openness to innovation, reflective thinking and leadership skills becomes essential. Today, it is important for every teacher to strive for professional development and to achieve individual and collective goals. Leadership skills include the ability to motivate others, good communication skills, positive thinking, delegation of responsibilities, creativity, reliability, responsibility, time management, influence, and decisiveness. Change can also be difficult to be accepted and even can become a reason for leaving a teaching job. Leaders who can accept contemporary challenges, communicate effectively with others, and facilitate the development of leadership skills in colleagues become important in every educational institution. The aim of this publication is to research and evaluate the scientific literature on the relevance of transformational leadership, highlighting the need for developing each teacher`s leadership skills.
TESLA, A Tool for Automatic Earthquake Low-Frequency Spectral Level Estimation: The Study of 2013 St. Gallen Earthquake Fault-Plane Solutions
Authors: Adinolfi Guido Maria , Convertito Vincenzo , De Matteis Raffaella 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
One of the challenges of seismicity monitoring is to achieve multiparametric catalogs complete down to small magnitude using automatic procedures. This can be obtained using seismic networks with high performance and robust, automatic algorithms able to process large data sets, limiting the manual operations of the analysts. The characterization of microseismicity is fundamental to study its spatial and temporal evolution and to define the seismic activity of fault systems. Among the source parameters of microseismic events, focal mechanisms are not generally calculated and, when available in the seismic catalog, their reliability may be dubious. We propose a new tool, named Tool for automatic Earthquake low-frequency Spectral Level estimAtion (TESLA), to automatically calculate the P- and S-wave low-frequency spectral levels. Indeed, it has been shown that these levels can be inverted together with P-phase polarities to better constrain the focal mechanism or to estimate the seismic moment. TESLA is designed to invert the P- and S-displacement spectra searching the optimal signal window to use for the spectral analysis. Using a signal window of fixed duration, although variable according to the earthquake magnitude, is not always the appropriate choice, especially when microseismicity is analyzed. TESLA performs three main tasks for both P and S phases: (1) a systematic exploration of several signal windows to use for the computation of displacement spectra, (2) the spectral analysis for all the selected signal windows, and (3) the evaluation of the best-displacement spectra through quantitative criteria and the estimation of the low-frequency spectral levels. The tool is first validated and then applied to the 2013 St. Gallen, Switzerland, induced seismic sequence to calculate the P and S low-frequency spectral level ratios, which are inverted to estimate focal mechanisms. Our results show the robustness of the tool to process microseismicity and the benefit of using it to automatically analyze large waveform data sets.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has brought about a transition in hand hygiene practices since the disease has no cure. WHO recommends frequent hand washing for at least 20 seconds each time or the use of alcohol-based hand rubs to prevent infection. This change has led to a variety of skin changes over hands including dryness, redness, irritation, etc. Dermatitis is a medical term for skin inflammation (irritation). Contact dermatitis is an allergic or irritant reaction that causes a painful or itchy skin rash. Frequent use of hand hygiene products, particularly soaps, and other detergents, is one of the leading causes of irritant contact dermatitis among health workers in this Covid pandemic era. : To know the impact of change in hand hygiene practices after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, an online survey was conducted using google forms. Participants included only medical students and professionals aged 18 and above till 35 years. Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study. Information was recorded and analyzed.: The study included a total of 151 participants including medical students and professionals out of which 71 (47%) were male, 79(53%), and female, all aged between 18-35 years. 136 (90.1%) of the total participants agreed with an increase in hand hygiene practices brought about by the pandemic, using various means for the same including soap, alcohol-based gels, rubs, and wipes. 51 participants (33.8 %) noticed explicit changes in the skin of their hands after the switch in their respective hand hygiene practices.: This study highlights the changes in hand hygiene practices due to the pandemic and the prevalence of dermatitis due to the same in medical students and professionals. The study will highlight the awareness about the prevention of skin changes in hand due to frequent sanitation and the need to seek a dermatologist if and when required
Developing critical thinking across the curriculum through embedded personal epistemology: An immersion approach
Authors: Mansouri Fedoua Mansouri , Hamzaoui Hafida 
Published: July 2023

In the present-day information age, it has become more crucial than ever to be equipped with an intellectual compass that can help an individual to navigate the overwhelming deluge of information, messages, and discourses. The efficiency of higher education in teaching students to think critically is debatable as most institutions treat these skills in isolation from the rest of educational goals. This paper explored a holistic approach to enhancing critical thinking across the curriculum. It involves the promotion of learners’ epistemological beliefs. The study explored a potential causal relationship between critical thinking skills and epistemological beliefs among undergraduates at the Department of English at Khenchela University, Algeria. In a quasi-experimental design, sophomores received a two-semester treatment instruction designed to promote their critical thinking skills. These latter were tested in pre-and post-tests to evaluate the effect of the course. T-test results revealed a significant change in the experimental group’s post-test means as compared to their critical thinking pre-tests.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui konsep ketahanan pangan berbasis kearifan lokal pada studi kasus Kampung Naga Kabupaten Tasikmalaya. Metode yang digunakan termasuk jenis penilitian deskriptif kualitatif. Adapun pengumpulan data baik data primer maupun sekunder. Teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara, dokumentasi dan analisis. Hasil penelitiannya yaitu warga kampung naga mayoritas mata pencahariannya bertani di sawah dan ladang, mereka menanam seperti padi, palawija, berternak ikan atau menangkap ikan di sungai. Keyakinan masyarakat kampung naga terhadap alam dan penciptanya tampak jelas dalam sistem pertanian yang memakai cara tanam” JanJul” atau januari-juli dalam menanam dan memanen. Masyarakat kampung naga mengolah padi dengan cara tradisional, seperti hasil panen padi itu tidak dibawa ke penggilingan melainkan di tumbuk sendiri di saung lisung. Peran sistem leuit sangat berperan besar dalam menjaga ketahanan pangan di Kampung Naga dimana sistem ini mengatur warga untuk menyumbangkan sebagian hasil panen pada bulan juli sebagai mitigasi ketahanan pangan masyarakat adat Kampung Naga. Kearifan lokal Kampung Naga terbukti dapat menghasilkan produk pangan lebih berkualitas walaupun secara kuantitas sangat terbatas, akan tetapi cukup sebagai ketahan pangan masyarakat Kampung Naga. Selain bertani, warga juga terampil membuat kerajinan kerajinan khas kampung naga yang bisa dijual kepada para pengunjung, seperti memanfaatkan lidi, kulit kayu, kulit binatang, bambu dan kayu aren untuk bahan dasarnya.
