SEVERAL BIASES IN EVALUATION PROCESS OF PROFESSORS BY UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Authors: Carvalho Patricia Nasser , Carvalho Marcus V H 
Published: July 2022

The evaluation of the teaching process uses questionnaires applied to the students, giving them the power of be anonymous in their responses. However, if at the end of the course some students get low grades, at the moment of their responses to the questionnaires they can have an attitud of revenge against the teacher, manifested by bad evaluation to the teachers. There are other situations that interfere with students responses leading to biases in evaluation process. We reviewed factors that interfere in the teacher evaluation through questionnaires causing biases and, we also tryed to find alternatives to diminish biases in evaluation. We search original articles and reviews in web sites databases about biases in professor evaluation process and comments about avoid these biases. We also conducted a manual search for relevant articles in the reference lists of articles. Several factors can be biases in teachig evaluation proccess as feeling of revenge, more difficult course, younger students and gender male students evaluators. Non-white teachers, female teachers, older teachers, non-charism teachers, non-good look teachers also get lower grades. Teacher evaluations through questionnaires must be viewed with caution due to several biases. Since questionnaires are difficult to be replaced in the evaluation of teachers, we discuss alternatives in order to avoid injustice to the teachers.

OBJECTIVE
Infradiaphragmatic craniopharyngiomas (ICs) represent a distinct subtype, harboring a sellar-suprasellar origin and generally growing in the extra-arachnoidal space contained by the diaphragma sellae. They have been considered ideal for surgical removal through the transsphenoidal approach since the 1960s. The authors present a multicentric national study, intending to selectively analyze IC behavior and the impact of the transsphenoidal endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) on surgical outcomes.

METHODS
Craniopharyngiomas that were intraoperatively recognized as infradiaphragmatic and removed with standard EEA between 2000 and 2021 at 6 Italian neurosurgical departments were included in the study. Clinical, radiological, and surgical findings and outcomes were evaluated and reviewed.

RESULTS
In total, 84 patients were included, with 45.23% identified as pediatric cases and 39.28% as having recurrent tumors. The most common presenting symptoms were endocrine (75%), visual (59.52%), and hypothalamic (26.19%) disorders. ICs were classified as extending below (6 intrasellar and 41 occupying the suprasellar cistern) or above (26 obliterating the anterior recesses of the third ventricle and 11 extending up to the foramina of Monro) the chiasmatic cistern. Gross-total resection (GTR) was achieved in 54 cases (64.28%). Tumor extension above the chiasmatic cistern and calcifications were associated with lower likelihood of GTR. The cumulative rate of postoperative complications was 34.53%, with CSF leak being the most common (14.28%). Endocrine, visual, and hypothalamic functions deteriorated postoperatively in 41/78 patients (52.56%), 5/84 (5.95%), and 14/84 (16.67%), respectively. Twenty-eight patients (33.33%) had recurrence during follow-up (mean 63.51 months), with a mean 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate of 58%. PFS was greater in patients who achieved GTR than patients with other extent of resection.

CONCLUSIONS
This is the largest series in the literature to describe ICs removed with standard EEA, without the need for additional bone and dural opening over the planum sphenoidale. EEA provides a direct route to ICs, the opportunity to manage lesions extending up to the third ventricle without breaching the diaphragma, and high rates of GTR and satisfactory clinical outcomes. Increased surgical complexity and morbidity should be expected in patients with extensive suprasellar extension and involvement of the surrounding vital neurovascular structures.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this paper was to assess applications of the supratentorial-infraoccipital (STIO) approach for cerebrovascular neurosurgery.

METHODS
The authors conducted a cohort study of all consecutive cases in which the STIO approach was used during the study period, December 1995 to January 2021, as well as a systematic review of the literature.

RESULTS
Twenty-five cerebrovascular cases were identified in which the STIO approach was used. Diagnoses included arteriovenous malformation (n = 15), cerebral cavernous malformation (n = 5), arteriovenous fistula (n = 4), and aneurysm (n = 1). The arteriovenous malformations consisted of Spetzler-Martin grade II (n = 3), grade III (n = 8), and grade IV (n = 4) lesions. Lesion locations included the occipital lobe (n = 15), followed by the tentorial dural (n = 4), temporal-occipital (n = 3), temporal (n = 1), thalamic (n = 1), and quadrigeminal cistern (n = 1) regions. Many patients (75%) experienced transient visual deficits attributable to retraction of the occipital lobe, all of which resolved. As of last follow-up (n = 12), modified Rankin Scale scores had improved for 6 patients and were unchanged for 6 patients compared with the preoperative baseline.

CONCLUSIONS
The STIO approach is a safe and effective skull base approach that provides a specialized access corridor for appropriately selected cerebrovascular lesions.

Published: July 2022

Background: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multisystemic neuromuscular disorder causing a plea of impairments, of which fatigue and apathy are some of the most frequent non-muscular symptoms. No curative treatment exists to date, and patients only have access to limited effective care, which are intended to decrease the burden of specific symptoms in daily life. Objective: This study aimed to assess whether a 12-week strength training program has an impact on fatigue/daytime sleepiness, apathy, and disease bruden in men with DM1. Methods: Eleven participants completed the Fatigue and Daytime Sleepiness Scale (FDSS) and the Myotonic Dystrophy Health Index (MDHI) at baseline, at 6 and 12 weeks, and at 6 and 9 months. Also, the Apathy Evaluation Scale (AES) was filled out at baseline, at 12 weeks, and at 6 and 9 months. Results: Results show significant effects of the training program both on apathy and fatigue/daytime sleepiness, effects that are respectively greater at three and six months after the end of the program than at its very end. However, no difference was observed regarding the overall disease burden. Conclusion: These findings are promising for patients with DM1 considering that few non-pharmacological treatments are available.

Today, the problem of integrating basic and additional information technology education is relevant. Integration is of particular importance for school informatics, which is significantly influenced by digitalization of modern society. Some areas of digitalization can be highlighted in particular: the expansion of the network of additional education institutions equipped with modern digital equipment for teaching children how to work with it; providing conditions for mastering new digital professions; developing basic digital competencies, etc. Modern school informatics has a number of shortcomings, which determines the need to reform content of the discipline and forms of content presentation. Such a reform involves a targeted integration of basic and additional information technology education, which allows to significantly enrich its educational and developmental potential. At the same time, the following conditions must be taken into account: providing access to modern equipment and technologies; continuity and consistency in the construction of programs and methods of basic and additional education; implementation of convergent solutions within the content and methodological support of school disciplines; symbiosis of technologies and programs of these disciplines.One of the ways for integrating basic and additional school education is the development of methodological support for programs of basic and additional education for “IT cube” kid’s digital education centers, “Point of Growth” education centers, “Quantorium” kid’s technoparks on the basis of educational organizations. In accordance with the project ideology, the educational areas (“Python programming”, “Mobile development”, “VR/AR development”, “Robot programming”, “System administration”, “Cyber hygiene and Big Data”, “Fundamentals of programming in Java”, “Fundamentals of algorithmics and logic”, etc.) were focused on supporting the most relevant and wanted competencies of kids in IT sphere, providing the possibility of integrated solutions both within the framework of the actual information technology education, and outside this framework.

In Indonesia, regional apparatus organizations are required to perform excellent performance in carrying out their duties and functions. The current environmental situation that is getting more complicated nowadays requires regional apparatus organizations to satisfy various stakeholders' interests. Organizational performance is needed to show the success of a regional organization in achieving its goals. This study aims to analyze the influence of information technology systems and control activities on organizational performance with working culture as a moderating variable. The sample of this study is 90 respondents who are employees of the Regional Apparatus Organization of South Sulawesi Province. Data for the analysis were collected by the questionnaire method during March-May 2022. The partial least squares (PLS) modelling method was chosen for data processing. The study results show that information technology systems and control activities significantly influence organizational performance. At the same time, the work culture moderates the influence of information technology systems and control activities on organizational performance. It was found that the increase in organizational performance is due to the organization's availability of information technology systems and appropriate management activities. So, the increase in organizational performance cannot be separated from the direct or indirect influence of information technology systems and control activities by the working culture in the Regional Apparatus Organization of South Sulawesi Province.

Published: July 2022

Over the last decade, several lists of professions that will disappear soon have been published. In this aspect, the rapid development and spread of innovation, and digitalization of management processes threaten the existence of the accounting profession in its current traditional form. The article aims to outline the patterns of further evolution of the accounting profession in terms of scientific and technological progress based on the analysis of the history of the emergence and formation of accounting as a professional activity. The role of the accountant in the socio-economic structure of the world's major civilizations was analyzed from the emergence of the profession to the present time. The key features of accounting formation in the context of formational and civilizational approaches to understanding the historical process were considered. The scientific idea about the development of the accountant profession was deepened by highlighting the civilizational approach. In contrast to the formational approach, this approach involves cyclical development of the profession, variability of its manifestation and development in different parts of the world, and dependence on factors (economic, social, political, cultural, religious). The study results show that the development of the accounting profession follows a civilizational approach. Therefore, the potential replacement of some of its functions by technological solutions is not a threat to the profession's existence but rather a new stage of its development. A retrospective analysis of the accounting profession through the prism of a civilizational approach allows us to outline new accounting patterns and use them as a basis for its transformation to achieve compliance with the profession's future needs and challenges.

The study showed the effect of cyber threats or technical problems on customer attitude towards e-banking services. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data, and 400 respondents from eight divisions (Dhaka, Barisal, Rangpur, Chittagong, Khulna, Mymensingh, Rajshahi, and Sylhet) participated in the study. The researcher used a linear regression model to assess the relationship between dependent and independent variables. STATA and SPSS v. 25 program environment were used to conduct the statistical analysis. To determine the reliability of the data, Cronbach's Alpha was conducted and found acceptable internal consistency. Protection method (PM), Purposes of using e-banking (PUE), and Technical problems and challenges (TPC) were the independent variables. The dependent variables were ease of use (EU) and Security reason (SR). The study used two regression models for two dependent variables. The regression model (1) showed a significant effect of SR on PM, and there was no significant effect on SR on PUE and TPC. Another regression model (2) showed a significant effect of EU on PM and PUE, and there was no significant effect of EU on TPC. However, the total variance explained was still low in model 1 (22.6%) and model 2 (44.9). The people of Bangladesh should be aware of e-banking services and technical problems. Future research should be conducted to discover more data and other variables affecting customer attitudes towards e-banking.
Accommodating Learners’ Multilingual Capabilities in an English First Additional Language Classroom
Authors: Zano Kufakunesu 
Published: July 2022

Debatably, in South Africa, there is an absence of a consensus about a teaching method that can inform multilanguage usage for English first additional language learners in the Further Education and Training phase. This study argues that translanguaging can be the latest all-embracing approach in language policy and assessment needed to substitute previous linguistic practices that treated languages as separate entities in a globalised world. The study aims to determine how group work promotes learners’ different multilingual capabilities among learners in an English first additional language context in the Further Education and Training phase. It took place in a multilingual Grade 11 classroom. For this qualitative study, only 24 Grade 11 learners were used as participants in 4 focus groups for data collection. The results indicate that engaging in group work increases the time English first additional language learners spend actively using their home languages with their peers. Learning English within mixed linguistic groups, learners often draw on their existing languages to learn and to communicate with their teachers and peers. Therefore, distinguishing language upbringings as a reserve might produce positive results in the classroom when teaching English to English first additional language learners as learners showcase their identities in collaboration with their contemporaries. Group work creates a space where translanguaging can easily take place and it is a good exemplification of the power processes that underlie the classroom as learning becomes learner-centric. It was concluded that group work can serve as an enabler for translanguaging, harnessing learners’ different multilingual capabilities for a better understanding of their work.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected the supply, cost, and demand for certain foods, but it is not clear how these changes have affected food-allergic households.ObjectiveTo describe the changes in food-related costs that have followed COVID-19, as reported by higher- and lower-income households with a food-allergic member.MethodsBetween May 1-June 30, 2020, Canadian households, with at least one food-allergic member, completed an online survey on food shopping and preparation habits before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample was divided into binary groups, either higher or lower than the sample median income. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression.ResultsThe sample was comprised of 102 participants (i.e., 51/ income group). The three most common food allergies amongst both groups were peanuts, tree nuts and milk. Since the start of the pandemic, both groups reported greater monthly direct grocery costs, although costs amongst the higher-income group were twice as high as the lower-income group ($212.86 vs. $98.89, respectively). Indirect food preparation costs were similarly elevated. Higher-income households with food procurement difficulties reported increased indirect shopping costs following the outbreak of COVID-19, whereas those without such difficulties reported decreased costs. Lower-income households with allergies to milk, wheat, or eggs (i.e., staple allergy) experienced a larger change in indirect food preparation costs following the outbreak of COVID-19 relative to those with other food allergies ($244.58 vs. –$20.28, respectively; p = 0.03).ConclusionBoth higher and lower income households with food allergy reported greater direct food costs and indirect food preparation costs following the COVID-19. Households with staple allergy and those with difficulties finding their typical food items were particularly affected.
Kinematic and biomechanical responses of the spine to distraction surgery in children with early onset scoliosis: A 3-D finite element analysis

Published: July 2022

Periodical and consecutive distraction is an effective treatment for severe early onset scoliosis (EOS), which enables the spinal coronal and sagittal plane deformity correction. However, the rate of rod fractures and postoperative complications was still high mainly related to the distraction process. Previous studies have primarily investigated the maximum safe distraction force without a rod broken, neglecting the spinal re-imbalance and distraction energy consumption, which is equally vital to evaluate the operative value. This study aimed to reveal the kinematic and biomechanical responses occurring after spinal distraction surgery, which were affected by traditional bilateral fixation. The spinal models (C6-S1) before four distractions were reconstructed based on CT images and the growing rods were applied with the upward displacement load of 0–25 mm at an interval of 5 mm. Relationships between the distraction distance, the distraction force and the thoracic and lumbar Cobb angle were revealed, and the spinal displacement and rotation in three-dimensional directions were measured. The spinal overall imbalance would also happen during the distraction process even under the safe force, which was characterized by unexpected cervical lordosis and lateral displacement. Additionally, the law of diminishing return has been confirmed by comparing the distraction energy consumption in different distraction distances, which suggests that more attention paid to the spinal kinematic and biomechanical changes is better than to the distraction force. Notably, the selection of fixed segments significantly impacts the distraction force at the same distraction distance. Accordingly, some results could provide a better understanding of spinal distraction surgery.

Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (SMB) has unambiguous biological functions in cardiovascular diseases, thus has been processed into different medicine forms. However, universal analytical method for fast quantification of bioactive compounds in SMB and SMB derived products is still missing. In this study, a polarity switching strategy was developed and optimized, which enabled the detection of the target compound in both positive and negative ion modes in a single run. The MS2 features of each compound were characterized to select the most prominent transitions for quantitative and qualitative analysis. Afterwards, the performance of this method was validated in terms of linearity (≥0.9916), limit of detection (LOD, 0.003–0.135 ngml−1), limit of quantification (LOQ, 0.010–0.450 ngml−1), precision (48.23 ± 2.58 ngml−1 to 53.72 ± 3.11 ngml−1), recovery (RSD 2.04%–5.79%), and stability (RSD ≤7.52%). Finally, the bioactive compounds in SMB and SMB derived products were determined, among which salvianate A, salvianolic acid A, and rosmarinic acid were the main components in all samples. In conclusion, the polarity switching UPLC-MS/MS method is efficient in accurate determining the bioactive compounds, which greatly shorten the time for analysis when compared with conventional methods. It has great potential quality control of SMB and SMB derived products.
