Evaluating the use of hyperspectral imagery to calculate raster-based wetland vegetation condition indicator
Authors: Suir Glenn M. , Wilcox Douglas A. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Field observations and measurements of wetland plants have traditionally been used to monitor and evaluate wetland condition; however, there has been increasing use of remote sensing applications for rapid evaluations of wetland productivity and change. Combining key aspects of field- and remote sensing-based wetland evaluation methods can provide more efficient or improved biological indices. This exploratory study set out to develop a raster-based Wetland Vegetation Condition Indicator system that used airborne hyperspectral imagery-derived data to estimate plant-community quality (via wetland classification and Coefficient of Conservatism) and vegetation biomass (estimated using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). The Wetland Vegetation Condition Indicator system was developed for three Lake Ontario wetland areas and compared to a field-based floristic quality index and a dominant-plant based Floristic quality indexdom. The indicator system serves as a proof-of-concept that capitalized on the spatial and spectral attributes of high-resolution imagery to quantify and characterize the quality and quantity of wetland vegetation. A Pearson correlation analysis showed moderate r values of 0.59 and 0.62 for floristic quality index and floristic quality indexdom, respectively, compared to the indicator method. The differences are potentially due to the spatial resolution of the imagery and the indicator method only accounting for the dominant plants within each assessment unit (pixel), therefore disregarding understory plants or those with low abundance. However, the multi-metric Wetland Vegetation Condition Indicator approach shows promise as an indicator of wetland condition by using remotely sensed data, which could be useful for more efficient landscape-scale assessments of wetland health, resilience, and recovery.
Is Boyer’s Scholarship Reconsidered Still Relevant: A Case study of a College-Wide Professional Learning Community
Authors: Houdyshell Michael , Sughrue Jennifer , Aydin Hasan , Carothers Doug 
Published: April 2022

As universities attempt to integrate academic research into meaningful real-world application, faculty are encouraged to improve, understand, and collaborate on instruction and scholarship. Boyer’s writings on the topic in Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate attempted to engage faculty in this pursuit. One College of Education explored Boyer’s model through faculty participation in a Professional Learning Community (PLC). Using a qualitative case study including a review of documents and faculty focus groups, the researchers studied how faculty were able to infuse components of Boyer’s Scholarship Reconsidered in their work. Findings pointed to enhanced understanding of Boyer’s writings by faculty, but did not result in increased incorporation of his ideas into practice during the PLC. The researchers concluded that improvements in the leadership, design, and application of the PLC could facilitate faculty participation in a PLC and could result in increased engagement and application of Boyer’s writings in their work.

Authors: Spitzman Emily , Balconi Alexandra , Renaud Gia , Ingle Jeanne , Cayson Andrea 
Published: April 2022

Abstract: It is critical that pre-service teachers have exposure to practice in order to be successful in their future classrooms. This article describes a step-by-step process of implementing mixed-reality simulation in teacher preparation courses in order to provide teacher candidates with an almost-real classroom experience. Through using this mixed-reality simulation platform, teacher candidates teach student avatars who are being controlled by a live, behind-the-scenes person, trained to facilitate classroom scenarios. Following an overview of the implementation of this mixed-reality technological tool into their classes, authors share successes and challenges, highlighting some key takeaways for those considering integrating this into their future classes.

Published: April 2022

Las lecturas que pueden hacerse sobre los derechos humanos llevan a que puedan ser entendidos como facultades y reconocimientos que otorga la ley al ser humano para compartir, valorar, debatir e intervenir en las realidades sociales. Observar, describir, analizar o participar en una determinada situación de la cotidianidad aparece como una poderosa herramienta de la persona o del grupo social para comprender la complejidad de las relaciones, las cuales deberían ser reguladas por el derecho con eficacia e integralmente para evitar amenazas y vulneraciones a esos derechos humanos. Esta premisa no siempre se cumple y el presente artículo reflexiona en torno a ello desde cuatro perspectivas, así: i) sobre la igualdad y la diferencia; ii) los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales; iii) lo cotidiano y la protección jurídica de los derechos, y iv) sobre la especial protección a niños, niñas y adolescentes.

Authors: Worimegbe Powel Maxwell , Abosede Adebiyi Julius , Eze Benneth Uchenna 
Published: April 2022

This study investigates coopetition in addressing the interactions among micro, small and medium enterprises. The fundamental cause of coopetition was examined and the degree to which it affects the enterprise performance as evidenced from micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) was evaluated. Premised on existing literature, intensity of cooperation, intensity of competition and intensity of equality were used as the dimensions of coopetition. The descriptive survey research method was applied. Structured questionnaires were administered to 1876 MSMEs in Nigeria. The structural equation model was used in analyzing data to establish the extent of influence of coopetition on MSMEs performance. It was established that coopetition affects asses to technology and market share. It was also revealed that the intensity of competition affects coopetition more and access to technology was seen as the most significant reason MSMEs are involved in coopetition. The findings of the study also show that MSMEs mostly take part in coopetition in order to ripe the benefits of technological advancement. The study is limited in scope to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Future studies should investigate the effect of coopetition on specific industries. MSMEs should engage more in coopetition in order to achieve their objectives and Entrepreneurs should design and manage competitive relationships with their key competitors in order not to lose their core competence. The study pays attention to the fundamental cause of coopetition and establishing factors that influence cooperation which have direct effect on competition. This study also adds intensity of equality as a measurement of coopetition based on literatures reviewed as previous empirical studies did not include it.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Nanomaterials with unique nanotube arrays have attracted extensive attention in the field of blood-contacting biomaterials. In this study, the regular titanium dioxide nanotube arrays were first prepared on the pure titanium surface by anodic oxidation. Subsequently, copper ions (Cu2+) and strontium ions (Sr2+) were incorporated into the nanotubes by the chelation of dopamine to improve biocompatibility. The as-prepared TiO2 nanotubes had an inner diameter of about 60 nm and an outer diameter of 90–110 nm, as well as a tube length of 4–6 µm. The following annealing treatment and the incorporation of Cu2+ and Sr2+ had little effect on the morphology and dimensions of the nanotubes, but can significantly improve the hydrophilicity, and promote the adsorption of bovine serum albumin concurrently inhibit the adsorption of fibrinogen, showing the effect of selective protein adsorption. At the same time, loading Cu2+ and Sr2+ can also effectively inhibit platelet adhesion and activation, promote endothelial cell growth, and upregulate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and nitric oxide. Therefore, the results of this study showed that the incorporation of Cu2+ and Sr2+ into the TiO2 nanotubes can simultaneously improve the hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility of endothelial cells, which can enlarge the application of titanium-based biomaterials in cardiovascular devices such as a stent.

Published: April 2022

The World Health Organization defines diabetes mellitus as a disease characterized by hyperglycemia and disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism associated with absolute or relative deficiency of insulin action and/or secretion. It is estimated that between 2010 and 2030, developed and developing countries will experience a 20% and 69% increase in the number of adults with diabetes, respectively. This research is a quantitative analytic study with a cross sectional design. Utilizing secondary data at the Health Office of Banjarbaru City as of January-March 2020, in particular the five health centers, namely the South Banjarbaru Health Center, the Sei Besar Health Center, the Sei Ulin Health Center, the Liang Anggang Health Center and the Guntung Manggis Health Center. The sampling method is quota sampling and data analysis using chi square. The result is that there is no relationship between gender (p-value=0.742), marital status (p-value=1), employment status (p-value=0.075), education level (p-value=0.646), smoking (p-value = 0.052), BMI (p-value = 0.451), abdominal circumference (p-value = 0.212), and less fruit and vegetable consumption (p-value = 0.586) on the incidence of diabetes mellitus type II. As for the incidence of diabetes mellitus type II is age (p-value = 0.0001). This study also illustrates the mapping of the distribution of the incidence of Diabetes Mellitus Type II using a color gradation with a scale of 1: 211190, namely in South Banjarbaru District as much as 70.4%, then Liang Anggang District which is 20.4% and North Banjarbaru District 9.2%.
Family Perceptions of Health Care Access for Autistic Young Adults Receiving Disability Services
Authors: Roux Anne M. , Rast Jessica E. , Shea Lindsay L. 
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND
Autistic young adults (YAs) often live with family and present with complex health needs. Adults with developmental disabilities (DDs) who live with family are the least likely to receive preventive health care compared with residents of other settings. No published studies have examined intersectionality between age, race or ethnicity, household income, and health needs in health care access for autistic YA. This study explored health care access among autistic YAs receiving state DD services compared with other age and disability groups.

METHODS
We analyzed data from the National Core Indicator’s Adult Family Survey of families of DD service users ages 18 and older who lived in the respondent’s home. We used bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression to examine family-reported access to health care providers when needed, the role of sociodemographics, and the complexity of health care needs in predicting consistent care.

RESULTS
Approximately 70% of autistic YAs had consistent access to health care when needed, similar to autistic adults but at lower rates than those with other disabilities. Odds of consistent health care access were higher among autistic YAs who were Black or lived in a rural area and lower among those with co-occurring health conditions or who needed extensive personal care support.

CONCLUSIONS
Nearly one-third of autistic YAs who lived with family and receive state DD services had difficulty consistently accessing needed health care. Improved surveillance of health care services in this population is needed in addition to innovations in Medicaid waivers, which fund DD services, to address health needs and support families in accessing care.
Az eredményesség és a tanári fluktuáció összefüggései a szakképzésben
Authors: Bacskai Katinka , Dorogi Alexandra 
Published: April 2022

Összefoglaló. Kutatásunkban a 2017. és 2019. évi Országos
kompetenciamérés érettségit nem adó szakképző iskolákban tanuló diákok adatait
vizsgáltuk (Nmatematika: 11 776;
Nszövegértés: 11 582). Az iskola eredményességét
tekintve az egyik legfontosabb tényező maga a pedagógus, hogy milyen munkát
végez, továbbá kiemelkedően fontos az is, hogy mennyire állandó egy iskolában a
tanári kar, másként fogalmazva, mekkora a tanári fluktuáció. Eredményeink ezt
nem teljesen igazolták, hiszen a magasabb tanári fluktuáció esetén magasabb
eredményességet tapasztaltunk. Ugyanakkor vannak eredmények, amelyek
alátámasztják a korábbi kutatások eredményeit: a pályakezdő, az iskolát, illetve
a pályát elhagyó pedagógusok magasabb aránya alacsonyabb tanulói
eredményességgel jár együtt, de ez kizárólag a matematika képességterület
kapcsán mondható el. Az olvasás-szövegértés mérési területen ezzel ellentétes
tendencia érvényesül.
Summary. In our research, we examined the data of students studying
in non-baccalaureate vocational schools the National Assessment of Basic
Competencies in 2017 and 2019 (Nmathematics: 11 776;
Nreading: 11 582). In terms of the effectiveness
of the school, one of the most important factors is the kind of work the teacher
does, and it is also extremely important how constant the teaching staff is in a
school, in other words, how much the teacher fluctuates. Our results did not
fully confirm this, as we experienced higher efficiency in the case of higher
teacher turnover. At the same time, there are results that support the results
of previous research: a higher proportion of beginning, out-of-school and
out-of-school teachers is associated with lower student achievement, but this
can only be said in relation to the mathematics skill area. In the field of
reading comprehension, the opposite trend prevails.
Felsőoktatás-politikai tévelygések
Authors: Polónyi István 
Published: April 2022

Összefoglaló. Az írás áttekinti a most záruló kormányzati ciklus
felsőoktatás-politikai lépéseit. Négy területet vizsgál meg. Az első a felvételi
rendszer átalakítása, amelynek nyomán a felsőoktatás a kormány elitista
politikája miatt, a társadalmi mobilitás befagyása felé halad. A másik terület
az intézményi vezetés, amely területen a gazdaság és hatékonyság jelszavát
hangoztatva – a korábbi csodafegyvernek hirdetett kancellári rendszer bukása
után – az alapítványi átszervezéssel kíván előrelépni a kormány. Azonban ez az
átszervezés valójában inkább politikai megszállás, amelynek nyomán Fidesz-barát
kuratóriumok tulajdonába került át az állami felsőoktatási intézmények nagyobbik
része. A harmadik terület a nemzetköziesedés. Ezen a területen szembetűnő
ellentmondás a CEU törvénytelen elüldözése, szemben a Fudan Egyetem értelmetlen
idehívásával, továbbá a külföldi hallgatók jelentős anyagi támogatással történő
idecsábítása szemben a hazai hallgatók külföldi tanulásának elhanyagolásával. És
végül a felsőoktatási támogatások alakítása is ilyen ellentmondásos, azáltal,
hogy a 2013 óta tartó szigorú elvonással terhelt felsőoktatási intézmények
baráti kuratóriumokba átszervezett részének állami támogatását megduplázta a
kormány.
Summary. The study reviews the higher education policy steps of the
current government term. It looks at four areas. The first is the overhaul of
the admissions system, which has seen higher education move towards a freeze on
social mobility as a result of the government’s elitist policies. The other area
is institutional management, where the government intends to make progress with
the reorganisation of foundations, under the slogan of economy and efficiency,
after the failure of the former chancellorship system, which was proclaimed a
panacea. However, this reorganisation is in fact more of a political occupation,
with the majority of public higher education institutions being taken over by
Fidesz-friendly boards of trustees. The third area is internationalisation. In
this area, there is a striking contradiction between the government’s illegal
blocking of CEU’s operation in Hungary and the senseless invitation of Fudan
University. But there is also a contradiction between the luring of foreign
students to Hungary with substantial government support versus the low level of
government encouragement for domestic students to study abroad. And finally, the
restructuring of higher education funding is just as controversial. In the
higher education sector, which has been subject to severe cutbacks since 2013,
funding has been doubled for institutions that have been reorganised by the
government to be owned and run by pro-government boards of trustees.
The Political Movement of the Muhammadiyah Youth Exponent in Supports the Precident and Vice Precident Candidates in the General Election
Authors: Prakoso Velandani , Alfarabi Misran , Alhamdi Ridho 
Published: April 2022

This research focuses on the political movement strategy carried out by young Muhammadiyah exponents who have gathered in the Progressing Indonesia House (RIB) and the Indonesian Pencerah Alliance (API). Young Muhammadiyah exponents in this case are young Muhammadiyah cadres who have attended the cadre process and structurally have served in Muhammadiyah autonomous organizations. In reading the strategies of the political movement, a theoritical framwork is used, namely the structure of political opportunities, mobilization of resources, and framing of collective action. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach and the analysis uses the Nvivo 12 Plus software. The research data were obtained from the results of interviews, document studies, and previous research which were related to each other. The results of this study indicate that young Muhammadiyah cadres realize that the Muhammadiyah Association is currently increasingly occupying a strategic position, both in its existence and as a strategic partner of the government. The growth and development of this awareness has spurred the construction of strategic, tactical, and futuristic thinking amidst many strategic choices and political articulations. The emergence of a political movement in the 2019 presidential election which was initiated by Muhammadiyah young exponential cadres is proof that there is a polarization that occurs in Muhammadiyah young cadres and indirectly becomes a fighting arena for cadres who are diaspora in the realm of national politics.
