Same yardstick, different results: efficacy of rubrics in science education assessment
Authors: Charamba Erasmos , Dlamini-Nxumalo Nkhululeko 
Published: August 2022

Assessments have become integral to today's teaching and learning. Within the world of assessments, there are two paramount ideologies at work: assessments for learning and assessments of learning. The latter are typically administered at the end of a unit or grading period and evaluate a student’s understanding by comparing their achievement against a class, nationwide benchmark, or standard. The former assesses a student’s understanding of a skill or lesson during the learning and teaching process. Assessment for learning enables teachers to collect data that will help them adjust their teaching strategies, and students to adjust their learning strategies. In order to achieve this goal, teachers can make use of several assessment tools, such as concept maps, oral presentations, peer review, portfolios, examinations, written reports, and rubrics. The use of rubrics not only makes the teacher’s standards and result grading explicit but can give students a clear sense of what the expectations are for a high level of performance on a given science assignment. In this study, quantitative data were collected from tasks, assessed by 10 teachers who were purposefully sampled; while qualitative data were collected from interview responses of the same teachers to explore the extent of uniformity in the use of rubrics. The researchers compared and analyzed the different scores, allocated by the respective participants, and analyzed the qualitative data using qualitative data analysis. The study suggests that if interpreted and used well, rubrics support learning by enabling an efficient, consistent, objective, and quick way of assessing students’ work thereby facilitating learning.

Abstract
Halfway into the sustainable development goal (SDG) period, the rural and urban divide in sanitation persists. As of 2020, less than half of the global rural population has access to safely managed sanitation. In India, the Swachh Bharat (Clean India) Mission – Rural helped over 100 million rural households to construct individual toilets and access at least basic sanitation during 2014–2019. Expectedly, the increase in toilet usage has led to an urgent need for faecal sludge management (FSM). The present paper describes a novel model, rooted in an urban–rural partnership, to increase access to FSM services among rural households. In 2020–2021, we piloted the model in the Dhenkanal district in Odisha, which had a functional urban faecal sludge treatment plant (FSTP) and publicly run desludging trucks. The model adopted a five-step approach that included a data-led situational assessment, model development, stakeholder consultation, legal formalization of urban–rural partnership, and capacity building. Upon its implementation, the partnership transformed the rural sanitation service chain and resulted in the safe collection, conveyance, and treatment of 278 kL of faecal sludge from rural households within the first 5 months of implementation. As rural governments in India and other developing countries strive to achieve safely managed sanitation by 2030, the urban–rural partnership model discussed in the paper can present a viable pathway for rapidly scaling-up FSM services.

Penyakit bercak coklat pada tanaman tomat, yang disebabkan oleh Alternaria solani merupakan penyakit penting yang dapat menimbulkan kehilangan hasil yang cukup merugikan. Penyakit ini biasanya dikendalikan menggunakan fungisida sintetik, namun jika penggunaannya tidak bijak, fungisida sintetik dapat menimbulkan dampak negatif bagi lingkungan maupun kesehatan manusia. Oleh karena itu perlu ditemukan pengendalian yang efektif namun ramah lingkungan. Biji adas telah dilaporkan memiliki efek antifungal karena memiliki zat metabolit sekunder seperti flavonoid, tannin, terpenoid, alkaloid dan saponin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek ekstrak air biji adas dalam menekan pertumbuhan koloni, produksi dan perkecambahan konidia A. solani secara in-vitro. Penelitian dilaksanakan dari bulan November 2021 sampai Januari 2022 di Laboratorium Fitopatologi Departemen Hama dan Penyakit Tumbuhan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Padjadjaran, menggunakan metode umpan beracun.

Sweet potatoes are important food staples in tropical sub-Saharan Africa. Orange flesh sweet potato (OFSP) varieties are especially important for combating vitamin A deficiencies and nutrition-induced blindness. Fungal leaf spots are one of the many challenges constraining its production in Umudike, Southeast, Nigeria. The aims of this experiment were to isolate the causal fungi of leaf spots of OFSP and to attempt their control using aqueous extracts of banana peels, plantain peels and plantain leaf in vitro. Mycotic agents isolated from infected plant were Verticillium longisporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Penicillium chrysogenum and Aspergillus niger. Pathogenicity test conducted on the organisms revealed that the first three pecies were actively pathogenic, with infected sweet potato showing irregular brown spots/blights surrounded by chlorotic hallo around leaf veins and margins of the laminae; while A. niger showed weak infection of the plant. In the laboratory, four concentrations (10%, 25%, 50% and 75%) of ripe and unripe plantain peels, ripe and unripe banana peels, and senescent and new plantain leaves, griseovid® (a standard antifungal) and control (sterile water) were evaluated in vitro for inhibition of mycelial elongation of the test myco-pathogens associated with the leaf spot disease of the crop. The experiment was laid out as 3 x 4 x 8 factorial in CRD with 3 replications. The botanicals significantly (P≤0.05) and differentially retarded radial growth of the fungus over the control in a dose-dependent manner. However, the fungitoxicity of the botanicals were inferior but compared favourably with the standard antifungal griseofulvin (griseovid®). Exploiting the potency of these readily available, cost effective and eco-friendly agro-wastes against these fungal pathogens causing leaf blight of sweet potato will not only reduce the hazards and pollution challenges associated with use of synthetic pesticides but also increase food production in developing countries where synthetic fungicides are expensive and out of reach of low-input farmers.

Abstract
There are relatively few studies on parasite fauna of marine fishes in Philippine waters. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of marine ascaridoid infection in Decapterus species in Balayan Bay and Tayabas Bay. A total of 371 fishes belonging to three different species of Decapterus (D. tabl [n = 130], D. macrosoma [n = 121], and D. maruadsi [n = 120]) were collected. Ascaridoid parasite larvae were found in all fish host species, with an overall fish infection rate of 22%. The highest infection rate was observed in D. tabl (27.69%), followed by D. macrosoma (19%), and then D. maruadsi (17.50%). Moreover, a higher prevalence of infection was detected in Tayabas Bay (27.57%) than in Balayan Bay (15.59%). Molecular analyses based on the ITS2 and 18S rRNA gene supported the identification of the larvae into two species: Anisakis typica and Raphidascaris (Ichthyascaris) lophii. This is the first report of the genetic identification of these two helminth parasites in Decapterus fish species in the Philippines. Paucity in the database of Philippine marine fish parasites warrants more research efforts, especially concerning economically important fish species with implications to food safety and food security.

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cerebral vascular disease, the presentation of which is highly variable clinically and radiologically. A recent study demonstrated that isolated subarachnoid hemorrhage (iSAH) in CVT is not as rare as thought previously and may have a good prognostic significance. Hemorrhagic venous infarction, however, is an indicator of an unfavorable outcome. We therefore hypothesized that patients who initially suffered iSAH would have a better clinical outcome than those who suffered hemorrhagic cerebral infarction.

Patients and methods
We selected patients hospitalized due to CVT, who presented either with isolated SAH or cerebral hemorrhagic infarction at admission or during the following 24 hours: 23 (10 men) aged 22–73 years. The data were extracted from hospital admission records, our computer data system, and the hospital radiological database.

Results
The iSAH group consisted of 8 (6 men) aged 49.3 ± 16.2 and the hemorrhagic infarction group included 15 (4 men) aged 47.9 ± 16.8. Despite having a significantly greater number of thrombosed venous sinuses/deep veins (Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test, p = 0.002), the isolated SAH group had a significantly better outcome on its modified Rankin Score (mRs) than the hemorrhagic infarction group (Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test, p = 0.026). Additional variables of significant impact were edema formation (p = 0.004) and sulcal obliteration (p = 0.014).

Conclusions
The patients who suffer iSAH initially had a significantly better outcome prognosis than the hemorrhagic infarction patients, despite the greater number of thrombosed sinuses/veins in the iSAH group. A possible explanation might include patent superficial cerebral communicating veins.
Impact of AKT1 polymorphism on DNA damage, BTG2 expression, and risk of colorectal cancer development
Authors: Zubair Hina , Khan Zahid , Imran Muhammad 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
AKT, also called protein kinase B, is a serine-threonine kinase that functions as a mediator of PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway and plays an important role in an array of cellular processes. Many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in AKT gene have been observed to be associated with various types of cancers. In the current research the association of a functional SNP rs1130233 in AKT, depicting G to A transition, was studied with AKT activation, DNA damage, an early response B-cell translocation gene 2 (Btg2) expression and risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) development.

Patients and methods
A total 197 population-based controls and 200 CRC patients were genotyped for SNP rs1130233. AKT expression, activation and BTG2 expression were determined in GG, AG and AA genotype carriers. DNA damage was determined through comet assay.

Results
The heterozygous AG genotype (55.67%) was more prevalent in the local population compared to homozygous wild type GG (37.78%) and homozygous AA genotypes (6.55%). Moreover, AG and AA alleles were observed to be significant contributors (P = 0.01, OR = 1.80, CI = 1.18 to 2.74, and P = 0.001, OR = 5.00, CI = 1.90 to 13.18, respectively) in increasing the risk of CRC. The immunoblot analysis revealed that G to A transition decreased the expression and activation of AKT. Moreover, AG and AA genotypes of AKT1 rs1130233 showed a significant increase in DNA damage and Btg2 expression.

Conclusions
The data concludes that G to A substitution is a risk factor for CRC development involving a decrease in AKT expression and activation and increase in DNA damage.

Background:
The condition of the management function (POAC) is one of the causes of declining employee performance in service organizations. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the management function (POAC) in order to have a positive impact such as increasing employee performance at the Public health center
Objectives:
This study aims to determine the relationship between the management function (POAC) and employee performance at the Langga Payung Health Center.Research Metodes:
The type of research used is quantitative with a cross sectional study design with a sample of 95 respondents. Data was collected by filling out a questionnaire. Data analysis was univariate and bivariate (chi square).
Findings:
The results showed that in general the management function (POAC) was categorized as good and the employee performance was classified as good. Meanwhile, the bivariate test proved the significance of the relationship only on the controlling function (p=0.008).
Conclusion:
There is no significant relationship between planning, organizing and actuating management functions with the performance of Langga Payung Health Center employees. And there is a significant relationship between the controlling management function and the performance of the Langga Payung Health Center employees. This means that respondents cannot prove that the Planning, Organizing and Actuating variables have a relationship with employee performance in this study and does not rule out other variables that can affect employee performance other than the management function at the Langga Payung Health Center.

Published: August 2022

La MIPyMES representan una de las actividades empresariales que impulsan el desarrollo económico y social, por lo que los países buscan crear iniciativas productivas que les permitan enfocarse en mercados internacionales y así generar fuentes de empleo como parte de su cadena de valor. Así, el objetivo de esta investigación es determinar los factores que promueven los procesos de internacionalización de las MIPyMES del sector calzado a través de la integración de un modelo de asociatividad en el Ecuador. Es un estudio no experimental, de carácter cuantitativo, de tipo descriptivo, correlacional y explicativo. Se diseñó un cuestionario para evaluar el comportamiento de estas empresas en relación con las variables propuestas y su influencia en la internacionalización y se aplicó a 79 fabricantes de calzado. Los resultados muestran que adquirir tecnología y capacitar la mano de obra se relacionan de forma positiva con el proceso de internacionalización, mientras que las variables que no contribuyen significativamente fueron la innovación de productos, posiblemente por la falta de proveeduría que se fundamenta en los volúmenes de producción; y el apoyo de la triple hélice en donde se pudo considerar que existe falta de apoyo por parte de los diferentes órganos gubernamentales y hay escaza inserción de la academia en los procesos que impulsan la internacionalización. Finalmente, cabe destacar que se encontró que una gran parte de estas empresas son dirigidas mujeres que no muestran estudios de nivel de licenciatura

Es importante caracterizar las variables independientes como competencias específicas para desempeñar las actividades administrativas y gerenciales para cumplir de manera satisfactoria los objetivos organizacionales. Este artículo busca identificar cuáles son las competencias de gestión de los directivos que logran el cumplimiento de metas de las PYMES en la industria textil de la Ciudad de Cuenca identificando la incidencia del liderazgo, motivación y trabajo en equipo en el cumplimiento de metas de las PYMES. De este modo, se busca facilitar a los administradores de las PYMES en la industria manufacturera, la gestión administrativa para el cumplimiento de metas con un enfoque de competencias, de manera que puedan mejorar su desempeño administrativo y en consecuencia el nivel de cumplimiento de sus metas. Esta investigación utiliza un enfoque cuantitativo, además tiene un alcance exploratorio, descriptivo con una investigación correlacional y explicativa con diseño no experimental, transversal. Para ello se desarrolla un análisis factorial en el que se identifican variables latentes a partir de las variables de las dimensiones liderazgo, motivación y trabajo en equipo. Posteriormente, mediante un modelo de regresión lineal se identifica el efecto o influencia de las variables latentes en el cumplimiento de metas, determinándose que una articulación entre el líder y el equipo de trabajo (liderazgo interactivo) influye positivamente en cumplimiento de metas, al igual que la articulación líder individuo (motivación individual).
El modelo de regresión lineal (tabla 3) se tiene que tanto los factores ML2 y ML1 así como el intercepto son significativos para el modelo (el valor p de todas las variables es < 0.05). A pesar de que el R cuadrado (0.647) no es muy alto, sí refleja que el modelo explica una gran parte de la variabilidad
