COMPUTER GAMES USED IN TEACHING OF GEOGRAPHY

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract: School as a starting environment for young people for life, is obliged to show receptive to innovations in technology. Using the latest techniques for teaching is designed to facilitate learning, but also to familiarize them with the tools, which will be used widely in the near future. Computer games nowadays have become very popular among children. Many of them spend few hours per day playing. Depending on type, computer games could have positive or negative effects on children. Accepting the fact that children like to play video games, a good teacher can use these games for increasing motivation and learning results. It is important that children, especially those living on a risk area, learn about natural hazards and how to prevent their negative effects. Playing computer games specialized on this topic could be an attractive way of learning about risk management. In this article, we present some computer games, which are attractive to children, using concrete applications about natural hazards and urban planning. Risk management games are very helpful tot each pupils how to protect themselves against the destruction power of natural hazards. Playing these games pupils learn how to manage the risk in case of a natural hazards, and they will have some knowledge about how to plan a city, how to develop it. The focus is on the presentation of the OIKOS risk management game. This game is considered very important in teaching geography; this is also an important aspect: sometimes we take decisions without thinking of the future. In this way, it follows the formation of a factor of environment awareness and responsibilities. Despite numerous advantages, the possibility of using modern technical means in education is very limited because most units do not have educational interactive board, and in places were this boards exist their number is reduced. This is explained by the relatively high costs of all equipment necessary for the operation, but also from news reluctance technology.

COVID-19: FAQs—Congenital Heart Surgery Recovery and Defining a “New Normal”

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

As recovery of congenital heart surgery programs begins during this COVID-19 pandemic, we review key considerations such as screening, protection of patients and health care workers (HCWs), case prioritization, barriers to reactivation, redesign of patient care teams, contribution of telemedicine, modification of trainees’ experiences, preparation for potential resurgence, and strategies to maintain HCW wellness. COVID-19 has tested the resolve and grit of our specialty and we have an opportunity to emerge more refined.
The Impact of Important Factors on Customer Behavior in the Development of Bulgogi Seasoning Sauce Using Jeju Food Ingredients

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study attempted to present a proposal for the development of pork bulgogi seasoning products using Jeju ingredients by identifying the effect of important factors in product development for pork bulgogi seasoning development on product satisfaction and behavioral intention. As a result of the analysis, first, important factors in the development of marinade by consumers in Jeju for the development of bulgogi marinade were analyzed, and as a result, 16 out of 17 questions were grouped into three factors to name each factor as appearance, raw material, and essence. As a result of analyzing customer behavior factors of bulgogi seasoning, 8 out of 8 items were grouped into 3 factors, and each factor was named as product satisfaction, purchase intention, and recommendation intention. Second, as a result of examining the impact of important factors in the development of bulgogi seasoning on product satisfaction, purchase intention, and recommendation intention, only the essence affects customer behavior. This indicates that if the product is developed in consideration of the taste of the product, the production of hygienic products, and the convenience of use in the development of bulgogi seasoning products, customer behavior will increase.
Prospective evaluation of high-cost management of severe chronic ITP in children and adolescents <16 years

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Chronic ITP rarely presents with severe bleeding episodes (SBE). Number and duration of SBE were evaluated in relation to the cost of management. Out of 157 chronic ITP patients attending our institution from 1994 to 2003, 37 patients, <16 years with persistent thrombocytopenia (>6 months), suffering from SBE or platelet count<10x10(9)/L were prospectively randomized to receive either intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), anti-D immunoglobulin (anti-D) or high-dose methyl prednisolone (HDMP). Sixty-one patient-years were followed, during which 351 SBE were documented. The high-cost management (IVIG and anti-D) showed insignificantly better platelet recovery, less frequent SBE with shorter duration per patient, higher rate of CR, and less splenectomy in contrast to the steroid groups. The effectiveness of high-cost management compared with methyl prednisolone could not be documented in this study.
Socio-economic determinants of inter-regional mobility in patients with cancer

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper presents an investigation of inter-regional mobility in patients with cancer. Thanks to the availability of geocoded information on patients’ place of residence, the effect of socio-economic status and of other individual characteristics on inter-regional mobility is analysed through multi-level logit models. The extent of patient’s mobility, and its dependence on socio-economic status raises equity issues, as well as regional policy considerations.
Uniqueness of fiber functors and universal Tannakian categories

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

The principal aim of this note is to give an elementary proof of the fact that any two fiber functors of a Tannakian category are locally isomorphic. This builds on an idea of Deligne concerning scalar extensions of Tannakian categories and implements a proof strategy which Deligne attributes to Grothendieck. Besides categorical generalities, the proof merely relies on basic properties of exterior powers and the classification of finitely generated modules over a principal ideal domain. Using related ideas (but less elementary means) we also present an alternative characterization of Tannakian categories among the more general weakly Tannakian categories. As an application of this result we can construct from any right exact symmetric monoidal abelian category with simple unit object a universal Tannakian category associated to it.
Stapes Surgery in Far-Advanced Otosclerosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Surgical treatment of patients with far-advanced otosclerosis (FAO) has not yet been standardized. Patients with FAO are the candidates for stapes surgery or cochlear implant (CI). Although many surgeons consider stapes surgery as the first choice, other authors prefer CI because of the excellent hearing results. Objective: The authors discuss their experience in the treatment of patients with FAO, potentially candidates for CI, who underwent stapedotomy. Materials and Methods: Eleven adult patients with FAO underwent stapedotomy from 2006 to 2016. Pure-tone average (PTA) between 0.5-1-2-3 kHz and speech perception test with hearing aids were determined before and after stapedotomy. Results: The results show a statistically significant improvement in air condition threshold (PTA) and satisfactory results with regard to speech recognition in 9 (81.8%) cases. Postoperative results are not influenced by the type of stapedotomy prosthesis employed and do not change during follow-up (3 years). Conclusions: The authors suggest first performing stapes surgery in patients with FAO and reserving CI in case of failure.
Principles and Power

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

As part of the mid-1990s normalization process, Vietnam and the United States negotiated a bilateral accord settling the outstanding property claims of U.S. citizens and corporations; Vietnam acceded to U.S. demands to fully compensate for expropriated properties owned by U.S. citizens in the pre-1975 years. In contrast, Vietnam granted no such concessions to Vietnamese immigrants, including Vietnamese-Americans. This article finds that the main drivers behind these divergent outcomes are: international legal norms and customs; domestic political considerations in both countries; and the broader negotiating objectives of the two governments.
Coding Theory

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Coding theory is concerned with successfully transmitting data through a noisy channel and correcting errors in corrupted messages. It is of central importance for many applications in computer science or engineering. This book gives a comprehensive introduction to coding theory whilst only assuming basic linear algebra. It contains a detailed and rigorous introduction to the theory of block codes and moves on to more advanced topics like BCH codes, Goppa codes and Sudan's algorithm for list decoding. The issues of bounds and decoding, essential to the design of good codes, features prominently. The authors of this book have, for several years, successfully taught a course on coding theory to students at the National University of Singapore. This book is based on their experiences and provides a thoroughly modern introduction to the subject. There are numerous examples and exercises, some of which introduce students to novel or more advanced material.
Understanding the relationships of critical factors to Facebook educational usage intention

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to conceptualise a framework that integrates information quality, system quality, function quality, and social influence based on the information system (IS) success model, to explore the relationship among these factors, which might be the key determinants of Facebook educational usage intention. Design/methodology/approach – An internet survey was conducted to collect empirical data from 221 Facebook users on their experiences of using Facebook. This study applied structural equation modeling (SEM) to demonstrate the proposed model’s construct relations and multiple group analysis. Findings – The results of this study show that social influence and information quality are critical and direct determinants that affect users’ continuous intention to use Facebook in learning; social influence also indirectly affect Facebook usage intention through the mediating effect of information quality. Except the path between social influence and usage intention in age subgroups, the relationships among these determining factors in the proposed model are stable, and there were no significant differences among gender subgroups and age subgroups examined using the multiple group comparison test. Originality/value – The findings provide a better understanding of the IS success model that influences the Facebook educational usage intention for researchers and practitioners.
A multi-feature object association framework for overlapped field of view multi-camera video surveillance systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This work describes a data fusion technique to improve performances in objects localization and tracking for automatic video surveillance systems. The developed strategy is designed to perform well in case of interaction among objects, i.e. when the moving objects to track, and whose position we want to locate on the common map reference system, result superimposed in the image plane. In order to solve such complex situations, different kind of techniques have been integrated but the focus of the paper is on the data association step in the fusion chain. As discussed in the text, failing in the association phase means computing wrong position during fusion process. The performances of the developed technique has been evaluated on sequences of real images and experimental results show the validity of the approach in the reduction of association errors during occlusion phases.

Magneto-transport characteristics of superconductingRBa2Cu3O7-deltamultilayers and quasi-multilayers

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

To study flux pinning modulation due to intentional adjustments of rare earth cations, layer sequences and island-like secondary phases, we built up a series of artificial multilayers consisting of binary rare earth R123 as well as quasi-multilayers consisting of Y123/M (M = oxides such as Yttria Stabilized Zirconia) on single crystalline SrTiO3 by pulsed laser deposition. The field dependence of transport critical current density Jc was measured at various temperatures and directions of the applied magnetic field. Comparing with pure Y123 films, almost all present multilayers and quasi-multilayers showed a crossover behaviour of flux pinning, evidenced by an existing medium field (Hcro) below which Jc is lower than of pure Y123 films, whereas above Jc is higher. Furthermore, a strong temperature dependence of such a crossover field was observed. The higher the temperature, the higer Hcro, implying that an artificial tailoring of flux pinning may appear in a narrow range of fields as the mixed vortex state moves towards to the region of weak vortex glass and vortex liquid. However, the improvement of flux pinning is hardly observed in the state of strong vortex glass.
Navigating the Sea of Diabetes

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

In reflecting on where we need to go in diabetes prevention and care and how to get there, I have chosen sailing, or more specifically, a boat, as a metaphor to give direction to my remarks. Although I am certainly not a sailor, sailing holds a special meaning for me. My late husband, Scott, loved sailing or certainly the idea of sailing and had a craftsman friend make a sailboat necklace for me. While Scott was ill, I wore the necklace every day to help us navigate through those rough waters. Our sailboat continues to help me live, work, and volunteer in diabetes.

Our ultimate destination is a world free of the devastation of diabetes. This is our vision at the Division of Diabetes Translation at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).1 I hope these words, from the nation's public health agency for diabetes, give voice to your vision as well. Our respective missions may be different, but I hope this vision will serve as the unifying destination we are all seeking.

Because diabetes and pre-diabetes affect not only individuals, but also families, communities, and society, we need to take action in each of these arenas (Figure 1).2 There are challenges and opportunities in each of these arenas for bringing us closer to a world free of the devastation of diabetes. The further out you move from individual to societal interventions, the more complex and multifactorial the approaches become and the longer it can take to achieve change. But the impact is more far-reaching. Individuals are crucial to achieving our vision, societal changes are crucial for achieving our vision, and so are the arenas (families, communities, organizations) in between.

Role of Sam68 in Sunitinib induced renal cell carcinoma apoptosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Sunitinib is one of the first‐line targeted drugs for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with dual effects of antiangiogensis and proapoptosis. Sam68 (Src‐associated in mitosis, 68 KDa), is found being involved in cell apoptosis. This article reveals that Sam68 impacts the sensitivity to sunitinib by mediating the apoptosis of RCC cells. Immunohistochemical staining indicated that the Sam68 expression levels in sunitinib sensitive tumor tissues were markedly higher than those in sunitinib resistant tumor tissues. Sunitinib induced RCC cell apoptosis in a concentration‐dependent manner and inhibited the expression of total and phosphorylated Sam68 (p‐Sam68). Downregulation of Sam68 expression inhibited RCC cell apoptosis induced by sunitinib. While upregulation of Sam68 expression could enhance apoptosis induced by sunitinib. Xenograft models showed that tumors in the Sam68‐knockdown group did not shrink as much as those in the control group after treatment with sunitinib for 4 weeks. Together, our results suggest that Sam68 expression is associated with the sensitivity of ccRCC patients to sunitinib. Sam68 may promote cell apoptosis induced by sunitinib, and the Sam68 expression level may be a biomarker for predicting sunitinib sensitivity in ccRCC patients.
[Considering the role of the PCR method in routine diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in peripheral blood tests in immunocompetent patients].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Infections caused by pathogenic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii in our geographic area is the most frequent parasitic infection; Czech Republic declares seroprevalence approx. 30 %. Diagnosis of toxoplasmosis is mostly based on serological methods are used (EIA IgM, IgA, IgE, IgG and avidity in IgG, Western Blot, complement fixation). According to positive results of these tests diagnosis of acute toxoplasmosis is established. In our retrospective study we tried to evaluate results of T. gondii DNA positivity from blood samples by PCR compared with positive markers of acute infection in patients before specific therapy was initiated. In accordance with literature we concluded, that in routine examination of immunocompetent outpatients of Clinic of Infectious Diseases from the moment of 4 weeks after lymphatic nodes swelling protozoan DNA detection in blood sample is not possible.
KURT LEWIN AND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO MODERN MANAGEMENT THEORY.

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Kurt Lewin's major contributions to management theory are 1. the concepts of field theory, 2. action research (the interweaving of laboratory experiment, systematic research in the field, and client service), 3. the study of group dynamics, and 4. aspects of sensitivity training techniques. His ideas appear today in discussions of productivity, management by participation, job enrichment, organizational development, organizational stress, and organizational change. His intellectual development may be conveniently divided into two phases. During the first period in Germany, after the First World War, his philosophy of science and psychology of individuals developed. The second period, in the United States, from the 1930's until his death in 1946, involved a market shift in his interest from the individual to the group and the birth of group dynamics as a field of study. In this brief paper I will trace some historically intriguing antecedents of later work in Lewin's earliest papers, which are not available in English. Although fascinating from a historical viewpoint, these papers do not, of course, show the full development of his thought in his latest papers.
Determinan yang Mempengaruhi Program Inovasi Gerai Cepat Dukcapil (Gercep Dukcapil) di Kabupaten Bekasi

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study aims to analyze the process of innovation and the supporting factors and inhibitors of Gercep Dukcapil in Bekasi Regency. The problem of public services in Indonesia is still related to the approach of conducting public affairs that are centralistic, non-participatory and not accommodating to the public interest which has caused community disappointment to the Government. The application of the innovation service Gercep Dukcapil in the Department of Population and Civil Registration of Bekasi Regency has experienced a good increase with several indicators that support in improving the quality of the service. The traditional to modern mindset of the Bekasi Regency Government's mismatches in Disdukcapil's performance in conducting population administration and civil registration services which then underlies the importance of an innovation in service that is manifested in Gercep Dukcapil services. This condition is also supported by good collaboration between the Regional Government and the private sector in realizing an integrated public service that can be integrated with public access spaces such as shopping centers.
Neural organization of the ventilatory activity in the frog, Rana catesbeiana. II

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract The paralyzed, decerebrate frog, Rana catesbeiana , displays “fictive” oropharyngeal and pulmonary ventilations. In order to evaluate the neuronal correlates of these two centrally programmed ventilatory bursting patterns, we have performed intra‐and extracellular recordings of bulbar respiratory neurons in this fictively breathing preparation. A total of 123 respiratory neurons were recorded from the caudal medulla. Of 51 antidromically activated neurons, 20 were vagal motoneurons and 31 were hypoglossal motoneurons. Respiratory neurons that depolarized during the lung (L) or non‐lung (N) ventilatory phases were classified as L or N neurons, respectively. Phase spanning neurons (S) were active during both L and N phases. Some neurons showed oscillations of membrane potential synchronous with oropharyngeal ventilation. Those active during the buccal elevation phase were exclusively L neurons whereas those having buccal depressor activity were exclusively N neurons. Synaptic drive potentials were observed in all neurons recorded intracellularly. In some neurons, hyperpolarization was caused by inhibitory postsynaptic potentials, as demonstrated by reversal of membrane potential trajectory after intracellular chloride iontophoresis. Some individual motoneurons and interneurons exhibited both pulmonary and buccal ventilatory activity, indicating that both pattern generators project to a common motor control system. 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
