Internationalisation discourse hits the tipping point

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The discourse on internationalisation has undergone a transformation in recent years, particularly in the sphere of education, where the term's centrality has long been undeniable. This discourse has evolved from a focus on internationalisation's increasing importance in education to a mounting critique regarding the process's utility and incorrect interpretation of its meaning by countries and higher education institutions. This critique attributes to internationalisation many negative implications linked to neoliberalism within the socio-economic discourse and thus raising the need for novel theoretical conceptualisation of the term that will allow further development of empirical research and academic discourse. The present article discusses the need to redefine the concept of internationalisation, and proposes a new definition for internationalisation. The article argues that negative by-products should not be a reason to dismiss a concept that has significance for learners and the education system.
STATUS GIZI ANAK TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN MOTORIK KASAR PADA ANAK USIA 1-2 TAHUN

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

AbstractThe background that encourages this research is the importance of good nutrition for children aged 1-2 years, this is because at the age of 1-2 years children must have growth and development of motor skills as well as good nutritional status in order to make children grow optimally. On the other hand, researchers found that there are still many children who generally need to consume complete food or nutrients every day. This type of research is quantitative research. The study population was children aged 1-2 years at Posyandu Anom Jaya. The samples taken were 30 children. The data in this study were obtained through observation, documentation, KMS puku guidelines and questionnaires. The results of the questionnaire analysis obtained t table at a significance level of a = 5% of 1.69913 and tcount = 1984.71827. Then tcount> ttable = 1984.71827> 1.69913 which means that the null hypothesis is rejected. So it can be concluded that there is an effect of nutritional status on gross motor skills.Keywords: nutritional status, gross motor skillsAbstraktahun hal ini dikarenakan pada usia 1-2 tahun anak harus mempunyai pertumbuhan dan perkembangan kemampuan motorik maupun status gizi yang baik agar menjadikan anak tumbuh secara optimal.

Increases in cortisol are positively associated with gains in encoding and maintenance working memory performance in young men

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Past studies have demonstrated that increases in cortisol secretion are associated with either enhancements or impairments of long-term memory, depending on the subprocess involved. However, working memory is generally studied as a unified system within the cortisol literature. The present study sought to determine if cortisol increases are positively associated with increases in performance in the encoding subprocess of working memory, and whether increases are positively or negatively associated with performance changes in the maintenance subprocess. Thirty-three young men (M = 19.4 years, SD = 0.89) participated in a change-detection task, consisting of a condition requiring encoding only and a condition requiring both encoding and maintenance. To elicit a cortisol response, participants completed the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) between two administrations of the task. Cardiovascular measurements and saliva samples were obtained before the TSST (T1), and mid-way between blocks of the second administration of the change-detection task (T2), to measure autonomic and cortisol responses to the TSST evident during the second change-detection task. Cortisol increases between T1 and T2 were positively correlated with both encoding (r(32) = 0.503, p = 0.003) and maintenance (r(32) = 0.463, p = 0.007) performance. This is a novel finding as previous studies have shown an impairing effect of cortisol on working memory. The positive relation between cortisol and working memory has likely been obscured in previous tasks, which did not examine these specific subprocesses in isolation from each other. The beneficial role of cortisol in the stress response is discussed.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper describes doctoral research that sought to determine if school librarians could use social network analysis as an evaluative and strategic planning tool. The study used a mixed-methods approach to develop and pilot test the Social Network Analysis for School Librarians (SNASL) Process in two secondary schools (ages 11-18) using participatory analysis. Analysis revealed that the SNASL Process has the potential to enable school librarians to evaluate and improve upon the collaborative network of their school by identifying individuals in specific role positions and producing generative insight regarding the structure of the school network.
A novel technique to prevent displacement of inferior vena cava filter during cardiac catheterization with subsequent transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale in a patient with cryptogenic shock.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We describe a novel technique to prevent displacement of a previously implanted inferior vena cava filter in a patient with cryptogenic stroke who underwent transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale. This technique may be of use to patients with cryptogenic stroke who might benefit from transcatheter closure of their patent foramen ovale but would otherwise not be candidates for the procedure because of risk of dislodgement of previously implanted inferior vena cava filter.
X-Ray Diffraction Automation and Its Use in Clay Mineralogy

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The standard Philips X-ray Diffraction equipment has been fully automated for continuous unmonitored operation. Modifications of the equipment include a sample-changing device, goniometer-driven divergence slits, pulse motor drive with eight-speed option, selective scan speed as a function of hkl intensity, range change device, and electronic programming of the complete operation. In addition, simultaneous readout on the Brown Recorder strip chart and magnetic tape provide records for visual and computer processing. Computer programs have been developed for the processing of the digital output that is in the form of cumulative pulse counts for the angular position and the intensity of the reflection. These data are converted to hkl spacings in angstroms and intensities after removal of the background count. An identification program has been developed that identifies the minerals and prints out the spacings and intensities used for the identification. Solvation and heat treatment data are utilized to aid in the identification of the clay minerals. Selected data from sediments are used to illustrate the output of the automated instrument and the increased resolution and speed of the equipment.
Thick macroporous membranes made of p‐type silicon

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In the last decade, very thick macro porous silicon (PS) has been enjoying a growing popularity in a wide range of applications. There is also an increasing demand for thick macroporous membranes with through pores. In this work, we studied the optimal etch conditions with respect to stable pore growth and high etch rate for macro PS in p‐type silicon. A single‐step etching process has been developed to tackle the problem of uniform membrane formation. Very thick (>500 µm) through‐wafer macroporous membranes on p‐type silicon with variable pore sizes and growth rates up to 0.95 µm/min have been successfully demonstrated.

Heavy trap formation by Arthrobotrys oligospora in liquid culture

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora was grown in liquid culture in modified separatory funnels with vigorous air bubbling. The growth medium was a dilute soya peptone broth supplemented with a trap-inducing substance. The dipeptide l-phenylalanyl-l-valine or its constituents phenylalanine and valine were used as inducers of trap formation. Trap formation started within 2 days after inoculation and the traps increased in number and size during a 7-day period. The traps formed in liquid culture were fully functional in trapping nematodes. At the ultrastructural level they were characterized by the presence of many electron-dense microbodies similar to those in trap cells grown on solid media. Biomass increase, amounting to 6–7 mg dry weight · ml−1, and trap formation were highly synchronized. The mycelial mass was homogeneously dispersed in the growth vessel during the entire growth period. Heavy trap formation in liquid culture by this fungus has not been reported previously.
Postoperative Survival and Clinical Outcomes for Uterine Leiomyosarcoma Spinal Bone Metastasis: A Case Series and Systematic Literature Review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Spinal bone metastases from uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) are relatively uncommon and few data are present in the literature. In this study, cases of nine consecutive patients who underwent spinal surgery for metastatic uterine LMS between 2012 and 2022 at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. The recorded demographic, operative, and postoperative factors were reviewed, and the functional outcomes were determined by changes in Frankel grade classification during follow-up. A systematic review of the literature was also performed to evaluate operative and postoperative factors and outcomes for patients with the same gynecological metastases to the spine. For our cases, the mean time between primary tumors to bone metastases diagnosis was 5.2 years, and the thoracic vertebrae were the most affected segment. Overall, median survival after diagnosis of metastatic spine lesions was 46 months. For the systematic review, the mean time between primary tumors to bone metastases was 4.9 years, with the lumbar spine as the most involved site of metastasis. Overall, median survival after diagnosis was 102 months. Once a spinal bone lesion from LMS is identified, surgical treatment can be beneficial and successful in alleviating symptoms. Further efforts will be crucial to identify prognostic markers as well as therapeutic targets to improve survival in these patients.
Microwave filters based on coupled MSW resonators and their applications

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A novel and simple technique for realizing tunable and planar microwave bandpass filters has been investigated. The use of coupled magnetostatic wave (MSW) resonators for realizing these filters is demonstrated. Due to their low magnetic losses, epitaxially grown single-crystal yttrium iron garnet (YIG) films are used for the MSW propagation. The individual resonators are rectangular YIG films. The microwave signals are coupled to and from resonators using microstrip structures. The MSW resonators are magnetically coupled to realize multiple filters. Experimental results demonstrate the enhancement of the bandwidth and the improvement in the out-of-band rejection. Using two-coupled resonators the 3-dB bandwidth increased from 4-7 MHz (for single resonators) to more than 10 MHz. The out-of-band rejection was improved by 10 dB using the coupled resonators for realizing the filters. Since this technique is based on microstrip circuitry it can be easily integrated with other microwave integrated circuits in a system. The utilization of IC fabrication techniques ensures the potential for high degree of yield and reproducibility at reasonable cost. Applications for FW systems, such as tunable integrated channelizers, using the MSW coupled resonators are discussed.< >
Fine Structure and Distribution Pattern of Antennal Sensilla of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae) Sand Flies

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The specific aims of this work were to examine the antennal sensilla of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva 1912) (Diptera: Psychodidae) adults and to characterize their typology and topography, with special attention to olfactory sensilla. The surfaces of the antennal segments of Lu. longipalpis males and females were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Lu. longipalpis used in the current study were obtained from a colony originating from Lapinha Cave, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Microtrichiae and 11 subtypes of sensilla were observed and characterized according to the following categories: five subtypes of trichoid sensilla (short, medium, long blunt-tipped, long pointed-tipped, and apical), two coeloconic sensilla (grooved and praying hands), and campaniform, chaetic, basiconic, and squamiform sensilla. SEM analyses showed few differences between males and females in the typology, topography, and quantity of antennal sensilla described. The current study is the first to identify several categories of antennal sensilla of the genus Lutzomyia and their distribution patterns. The identification of these sensillar types may be important in planning future electrophysiological studies to develop alternative measures of control and monitoring of Lu. longipalpis.
INCIDENCE OF CMV INFECTIONS DURING DACLIZUMAB TREATMENT IN RENAL ALLOGRAFT PATIENTS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

59 Selective immunosuppression with a humanized antibody against the α chain of the interleukin (IL)-2 receptor (CD25) was evaluated to demonstrate the efficacy of this type of immunoprophylaxis in combination with dual immunosuppression. The effect of daclizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against theα chain of the IL-2 receptor in a randomized double-blind, prospective phase III clinical trial in 275 patients receiving a first cadaveric renal allograft. Among them 111 (83%) in the placebo arm and 116 (82%) in the daclizumab arm received the full regimen of five doses (1.0 mg/kg) every other week. Baseline immunosuppression consisted of cyclosporine A and corticosteroids. The study endpoints at six months were biopsy-proven acute rejection, cumulative use of immunosuppression, infection, and at 12 months the incidence of lymphoproliferative disorders and graft and patient survival. At six months 39 (28%) of the patients in the daclizumab group had biopsy-proven rejections, as compared with 63 (47%) in the placebo group (p = 0.001). The need for additional anti-lymphocyte therapy (ATG, ALG, OKT3) was also lower in the daclizumab group (8 % vs. 16%, p = 0.02) and they required significantly lower mean (± SD) cumulative doses of prednisone(3750±1981 mg vs. 4438±2667 mg in the placebo group, p = 0.01). 25% of patients in the placebo arm vs. 18% in the daclizumab arm had a CMV infection (p = 0.06). No patient in the daclizumab group had a lymphoproliferative disorder or any other form of immunosuppression related tumor during the first year posttransplant. Patient survival in the daclizumab group was significantly (p = 0.01, 99% vs. 94%) better. It is noteworthy that despite the addition of daclizumab to baseline immunosuppression in comparison to the placebo group, less patients experienced CMV infections. Administration of daclizumab significantly reduced biopsy-proven acute rejection after renal transplantation, improved patient survival, and did not add to the toxicity of the immunosuppressive regimen.
Diagnostic significance of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging scan in the presurgical determination of FIGO stage of endometrial cancer.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

US is not adequate for overall presurgical FIGO stage assessment, but does have satisfactory accuracy in determining tumor spread in the uterus itself and can be applied when MRI scanner is not available and when the risk of extrauterine disease expansion is low. MRI examination should be applied in all cases when there is suspicion for extrauterine spread into other pelvic and abdominal organs.
Spectrum Sensing Methods and Dynamic Spectrum Sharing in Cognitive Radio Networks: A Survey

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radio (CR) are emerging technologies to utilize the scarce frequency spectrum in an efficient and opportunistic manner. They have been receiving tremendous amount of well-deserved attention in the literature. One of the challenging problems in dynamic spectrum access for cognitive radios is to sense the spectrum in wide band regime of heterogeneous networks to identify the spectrum opportunities. Our main goal in this paper is to present the state-of-the-art research results in signal processing techniques for spectrum sensing in CR network to make automatic and wise decision by unlicensed secondary users to adapt their transmission parameters according to their operating RF environment and respect the primary users. Specifically, we present dynamic spectrum sharing models for spectrum access and signal processing techniques for spectrum sensing by categorizing them into five basic groups. We also present the comparison of different signal processing techniques from different perspectives including networking metrics for the evaluation of the methods e.g. how accurate and how fast can sense spectrum utilization given the various methods and how this will affect networking functionality, and pros and cons of all the methods in the context of networking systems. We also present the status, research challenges and perspectives of signal processing/detection techniques for spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks.
Learning outcomes: perspective and practice A case study of University of Belgrade

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This master thesis aims to identify perspectives relevant to the understanding of learning outcomes, as well as their interpretation and embeddedness in the context of the University of Belgrade. Moreover, it will try to find patterns in the perceptions of change associated with the introduction of learning outcomes to the University of Belgrade. The analysis is based on ‘Prøitz model’ (2010) that categorises learning outcome perspectives according to nature and meaning, and the purpose of the concept. It is also a useful analytic tool to show how learning outcomes are interpreted and embedded in the institutional setting of the University of Belgrade. Moreover, the study builds upon the set of institutional approaches relevant to the policy adaptation, in order to reflect how actors who assume different roles and positions within the organisation may interpret learning outcomes, or how the concept may be relevant to the policy adaptation as well. The study employs twelve interviews among academics and academic leaders to explore their perceptions of learning outcomes. Furthermore, it complements the opinions of academics with the document analysis to strengthen the findings. The findings indicate that neither of the perspectives can contribute solely to the understanding of learning outcomes, but all four together provide a holistic overview of the concept’s complexity. In addition, data shows considerable variations in interpretations and application to practice, not only as tool useful in curriculum design or on the opposite a tick-box accountability tool, a formal requirement with questionable value in practice. Finally, academic perspectives of changes associated with the introduction indicate to several patterns which might be of a future study interest of the process of institutionalisation of the learning outcomes.
Use of Video Laryngoscope during Intubation in Patients with Non Difficult Airway

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Endotracheal intubation using laryngoscope which is an important skill required for all anesthesiologist in day to day practice is considered as gold standard for airway management. Various methods can be used for endotracheal intubation of which direct laryngoscopy is most commonly used and video laryngoscopy is an alternative. The success rate of tracheal intubation in cases of difficult airways has increased dramatically with the use of video laryngoscopes and improvements in the degree of glottic exposure. Hence this study aims to evaluate the laryngoscopic view, ease of intubation and haemodynamic changes during intubation using video laryngoscope in patients with non difficult airway. This interventional study was conducted in fifty nine patients of ASA I or II, ≥18 yrs of age with Mallampati grade I or II, mouth opening >3 cms, thyromental distance >6.5 cms of either sex planned for elective surgery under general anesthesia. General anesthesia was induced with similar doses for all the patients and intubated using video laryngoscope. Cormack-Lehane grade, intubation time, number of attempts for intubation and haemodynamic parameters were recorded. In this study, all patients had grade I type of laryngeal view during laryngoscopy and the mean time required for intubation was 18.93±7.08 sec. Out of 59 patients, 58 (98.3%) were intubated in single attempt and there was no significant haemodynamic changes during laryngoscopy with video laryngoscope. Hence, the result of this study concluded that endotracheal intubation using video laryngoscope provides good laryngoscopic view, better intubating condition for the ease of intubation without significant haemodynamic changes, thus considering worth for intubation of non difficult airway.
