GQIM-based Model for Optimizing the Professional Training Program of PETOE

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This paper proposes the GQM model for the professional training program of PETOE based on the goal of PETOE, which contains the national goal, the university goal and the professional goal.Making full use of the characteristics of GQM approach that can goal-oriented refine and quantitative analyze, the method for formulating and evaluating the professional training program of PETOE based on the GQM model is proposed in this paper.By the quantitative metric and analysis, the method for adjusting and optimizing the professional training program of PETOE is presented.The application results show that this GQM-based optimization model can make clear guidance to design, improve and optimize the professional training program of PETOE by quantitative metric values.This not only avoids adjusting the professional training program of PETOE blindly and arbitrarily, but also effectively helps for the universities to implement the PETOE.
PEDAGOGICAL TRANSLATION. A DIDACTIC UNIT IN EFL CLASSROOM TO TEACH GRAMMAR BY MEANS OF SUBTITLING

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The application of translation in EFL classes has been subject of debate since the perspective of the second language learning (SLL) changed to a more communicative one thanks to methodologies like the Direct method or the Communicative approach. Nonetheless, it is now living a revival because of the increase of use of ICT. Some recent research has concluded that the use of translation or the L1 in general may be beneficial for the confidence of the students and accuracy. The specialty this work is going to focus on is subtitling. Taking the ClipFlair Project as example, many studies have shown that subtitling may improve the listening and writing skills of the students and make them acquire some elements of the second language. Research around subtitling also points the positive attitude of the students towards this kind of exercises. Nevertheless, most of the studies have been done with advanced or university participants and they were focused on the listening skill and the acquisition of vocabulary. The motivation of the students, even though it has been analysed, requires still further investigation. Therefore, the present work will try to fill this gap by answering to the following questions: (1) is subtitling (translation as a language contrasting tool) effective to improve the knowledge of 1st of ESO students on the past simple? And (2) Do subtitling (translation) tasks improve the motivation of students of 1st of ESO towards EFL classes? In order to do so, we are going to divide the participants of 1st of ESO in two groups (control and experimental group) and we will work on the past simple through a subtitling task. A pre-test and a post-test will be used to analyse the knowledge of the participants and to compare the groups. We will also use a questionnaire to collect data about attitude of the students towards the task. On the one hand, we expect both groups to have similar results on the tests. On the other hand, we expect the students to show positive attitude towards the task.
Mechanochemical Dechlorination of Trichlorobenzene on Oxide Surfaces

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

1,2,3-Trichlorobenzene (TCB) was ground with calcium oxide (CaO) powder in air with a planetary ball mill. A mechanochemical reaction was induced, resulting in the decomposition of TCB through dechlorination from the benzene nucleus. The mechanochemical dechlorination was monitored by a suite of analytical methods including X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, electron spin resonance (ESR), gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and ion chromatography. With the increase in grinding time, the remaining amount of TCB decreased and reached 0.02% at 360 min grinding. On the other hand, the water-soluble amount of chlorine increased correspondingly and reached 95%, indicating the successful transformation of chlorine from organics into inorganic chloride. Additionally, the other final products detected after grinding were carbon and some minor methane and ethane, although the formation of some chlorine-containing intermediate phases such as dichlorobenzene and tetrachlorobenzene was observed in the early stage of grinding (for 1 h). A possible decomposition pathway based on dechlorination or dehydrochlorination is compared.

This dissertation represents the modeling of the mission control scenarios more effectively using the UML diagrams. There had been this saying, “Pictures speak more than word” which is applicable to UML diagrams wherein one can understand the nature, behavior and the implementation of the actual system on hand/ as in case of a Robotic Mission Planning, designing and modeling a Mission Scenario is not a single persons job but in turn a coordinated effort of all the people who are working on various aspects of the robots. Therefore for a mission to be executed there should be a method to be followed to integrate various aspects of the mission together, which is exactly done using Sequence Diagrams, on of the UML concepts
Experiences by patients and health professionals of a multidisciplinary intervention for long-term orofacial pain

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The aim of the present study was to describe patients' and health professionals' experiences of a multidisciplinary stress-focused clinical evaluation with prolonged engagement as an intervention for patients with long-term orofacial pain. Data in the patient part of this study were collected by free-text questionnaires using open-ended questions. Data were collected by group interview in the part of the study concerning health professionals. All data were analyzed according to qualitative content analysis. Data from patients revealed three categories for the intervention, ie, "helpful for most and crucial for some", "being listened to, respected and validated", and "gives important coping strategies". The results showed that a vast majority of patients described themselves as having been helped by the intervention. Some patients reported that meeting with the orofacial pain consultant team was crucial to the future course of their lives. Most patients described still having residual pain and symptoms, and only a few described their pain as being fully remitted. However, because of the intervention, the patients reported being able to adopt more constructive coping strategies. They also described their perception of the pain as being different, in that it was not so frightening once they had been given a model with which to understand it. Data from the health professionals revealed similar categories. Concordance between the patients' and health professionals' experiences was striking. In their descriptions, the health professionals and patients underscored the same components as being effective, with understanding, respect, and validation being the most important. The multidisciplinary approach was highlighted as being key to success by both the patients and health professionals.
IMPLIKASI PENJERNIHAN PAHAM TENTANG ALLAH TERHADAP PASTORAL PENDAMPINGAN PENYINTAS HIV DAN AIDS

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The author starts from the fact that often enough those who test positive for HIV, or who are suffering from AIDS, feel cursed by God, and question why God has punished them. They experience discrimination and are stigmatized by family and neighbours as sinners and punished by God. The author notes a similar way of thinking in the Bible. He then points to a corrective to this attitude and way of thinking as given in the Book of Job. He then takes up the thinking and actions of Jesus who approached people who were suffering discrimination and opposed the way of thinking that attributed suffering to a divine curse. Drawing from this biblicval corrective, the author outlines a number of conclusions for pastoral work in the Church at this time.

Perceived Stress and Coping Styles among the General Population in Saudi Arabia during COVID-19 Pandemic

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This article examines the stress levels, coping responses, and influence of adaptive and maladaptive coping styles on stress in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online cross-sectional survey was distributed to the attendees of a pandemic-related awareness webinars. The questionnaire assessed demographic and clinical characteristics, coping strategies (the brief COPE inventory), and stress levels (the Perceived Stress Scale). A multivariate linear regression analysis was conducted to assess the predictors of stress. The highest adaptive and maladaptive coping styles were reported for religion and self-distraction. Certain groups were independently more vulnerable to experience stress, including young- and middle-aged adults, females, students, and those with a lowto-middle income, with a personal or familial history of mental conditions, and living with someone with COVID-19 in their close circle. Higher levels of stress were also predicted by lower levels of using positive coping styles, particularly positive reframing, planning, and returning to religion, and higher levels of negative coping styles, such as venting, self-blame, and denial. Future psychotherapeutic interventions through the media and digital solutions are warranted to mitigate and manage stress by targeting vulnerable groups, promoting active coping styles, and discouraging negative coping strategies.
On the Linear Convergence of the Approximate Proximal Splitting Method\n for Non-Smooth Convex Optimization

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Consider the problem of minimizing the sum of two convex functions, one being\nsmooth and the other non-smooth. In this paper, we introduce a general class of\napproximate proximal splitting (APS) methods for solving such minimization\nproblems. Methods in the APS class include many well-known algorithms such as\nthe proximal splitting method (PSM), the block coordinate descent method (BCD)\nand the approximate gradient projection methods for smooth convex optimization.\nWe establish the linear convergence of APS methods under a local error bound\nassumption. Since the latter is known to hold for compressive sensing and\nsparse group LASSO problems, our analysis implies the linear convergence of the\nBCD method for these problems without strong convexity assumption.\n
The beginning of becoming a human

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

According to birth certificates, the life of a child begins once their body comes out of the mother's womb. But when does their organismal life begin? Science holds a palette of answers-depending on how one defines a human life. In 1984, a commission on the regulatory framework for human embryo experimentation opted not to answer this question, instead setting a boundary, 14 days post-fertilization, beyond which any experiments were forbidden. Recently, as the reproductive technologies developed and the demand for experimentation grew stronger, this boundary may be set aside leaving the ultimate decision to local oversight committees. While science has not come closer to setting a zero point for human life, there has been significant progress in our understanding of early mammalian embryogenesis. It has become clear that the 14-day stage does in fact possess features, which make it a foundational time point for a developing human. Importantly, this stage defines the separation of soma from the germline and marks the boundary between rejuvenation and aging. We explore how different levels of life organization emerge during human development and suggest a new meaning for the 14-day stage in organismal life that is grounded in recent mechanistic advances and insights from aging studies.
Commentary

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The recognition that a bleeding diasthesis can arise as an inherited disorder was documented as far back as the 2nd century ACE in Talmudic writings. Our current understanding of haemophilia as a deficiency of clotting factors is, however, a more recent establishment dating to the 1940s.1 Haemophilia A, or congenital factor VIII deficiency, is the most common of the inherited bleeding disorders and afflicts 1 in 5000 live births. Less common is factor IX deficiency or haemophilia B, which occurs in one in 30,000 live births.2 Deficiencies of other clotting factors are much rarer. As we mark World Haemophilia Day this month, it is apt for us to reflect upon the issues that we face collectively as patients, their families and clinicians, in striving to make living with haemophilia as normal as possible.

A Study on the Preparation and Characterstics of Fermented fruit-Vegetable Juice

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Juices prepared from carrots, apples, and mandarin oranges were fermented with Leuconostoc mesenteroides or along with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The pH of the fermented juices was not found significantly different between the mixed and single-cultured groups. The juices containing 0.5% NaCl had lower pH than the groups without 0.5% NaCl. The final pH of the single-cultured gruops was the highest among the sample groups. However, reducing sugar content of the mixed-cultured groups was lower than that of the single-cultured groups. The viable cells of the mixed-cutured groups were remarkably increased until 3 days of storage, and after 6 days they were gradually decreased. The results of the sensory evaluation demonstrated acidic, salty and alcoholic flavors were significantly different among the groups. The single-cultured group without salt was significantly more acidic than the non-pasteurized control group. The mixed-cultured group with salt was significantly more alcoholic than the group without salt and control groups. The non-pasteurized control group was significantly more homogeneous than the mixed-cultured groups and single-cultured group with salt. Preference ranking test showed that flavor and overall acceptability of the fermented juices was significantly different among the groups. Flavor of the single-cultured group without salt was found significantly better than those of the groups with salt. With the respect of overall acceptability, the single-cultured group without salt was significantly more acceptable than the non-pasteurized control group and the mixed-cultured group with salt.
Emotional management and behavioural inhibition system in service failures

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study incorporates individual psychological differences - emotional management ability, behavioural inhibition system (BIS) and appraisal of service failure into the framework model of consumer coping. The model was tested on a sample of 301 respondents. Structural equation modelling was employed to assess data and the six hypothesised relationships. The findings reveal that customers' emotional management ability does affect their assessment and their behavioural inhibition system sensitivity. Severity perceived is positively linked to active and expressive coping while diminishing avoidance coping. Furthermore, BIS sensitivity leads to a greater intention to use both expressive and avoidance coping mechanisms in dealing with service failures. These results propose implications for how service providers should act in service recovery in order to obtain the most optimal outcome.
New Pqs Quorum Sensing System Inhibitor as an Antibacterial Synergist against Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Development of new bacterial biofilm inhibitors as antibacterial synergists is an effective strategy to solve the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this paper, a series of 3-hydroxy-pyridin-4(1H)-ones were synthesized and evaluated, and the hit compound (20p) was identified with the effects of inhibiting the production of pyocyanin (IC50 = 8.6 μM) and biofilm formation (IC50 = 4.5 μM). Mechanistic studies confirmed that 20p inhibits the formation of bacterial biofilm by inhibiting the expression of pqsA, blocking pqs quorum sensing system quinolone biosynthesis. Moreover, we systematically investigated the bactericidal effects of combining currently approved antibiotics for CF including tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, and colistin E with 20p, which showed obvious antibacterial synergy to overcome antibiotics resistance in multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa biofilms. The result indicates that compound 20p may be used in the future as a potentially novel antibacterial synergist candidate for the treatment of P. aeruginosa infections.
Mathematical Analysis Of Eeg Of Patients With Non-Fatal Nonspecific Diffuse Encephalitis

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Diffuse viral encephalitis may lack fever and other cardinal signs of infection and hence its distinction from other acute encephalopathic illnesses is challenging. Often, the EEG changes seen routinely are nonspecific and reflect diffuse encephalopathic changes only. The aim of this study was to use nonlinear dynamic mathematical techniques for analyzing the EEG data in order to look for any characteristic diagnostic patterns in diffuse forms of encephalitis.It was diagnosed on clinical, imaging and cerebrospinal fluid criteria in three young male patients. Metabolic and toxic encephalopathies were ruled out through appropriate investigations. Digital EEGs were done on the 3rd to 5th day of onset. The digital EEGs of 5 male and 5 female age and sex matched healthy volunteers served as controls.Two sample t-test indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between the average values in amplitude between the two groups. However, the standard deviation (or variance) of the EEG signals at FP1-F7 and FP2-F8 are significantly higher for the patients than the normal subjects. The regularisation dimension is significantly less for the patients (average between 1.24-1.43) when compared to the normal persons (average between 1.41-1.63) for the EEG signals from all locations except for the Fz-Cz signal. Similarly the wavelet dimension is significantly less (P = 0.05*) for the patients (1.122) when compared to the normal person (1.458). EEGs are subdued in the case of the patients with presence of uniform patterns, manifested in the values of regularisation and wavelet dimensions, when compared to the normal person, indicating a decrease in chaotic nature.

Hybridization and polyploidy in the weeping lizard Liolaemus chiliensis (Squamata: Liolaemidae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract In reptiles, polyploidy is an unusual phenomenon that can originate from interspecific hybridization. In Chile, the lizard Liolaemus chiliensis provides a unique model with which to study the origin of polyploidy because it occurs in populations of diploid individuals and a few populations that also contain triploid and diploid–triploid mosaic lizards. To test whether L. chiliensis polyploids were hybrids between lineages within the species, we analysed the karyotype, the mitochondrial gene Cytb, seven microsatellite loci, and the linear and geometric morphometry of individuals throughout the species distribution. We found polyploidy at different localities throughout the distribution. Hybrids were detected with the microsatellite loci and morphological data. A clear relationship between hybridization and polyploidy could not be established because triploid and mosaic lizards were hybrids and purebreds. However, our results support the occurrence of both phenomena, and further research is needed to clarify how hybridization could be involved in the origin of polyploidy.
Physicochemical, Functional, and In Vitro Fermentation Characteristics of Buckwheat Bran Dietary Fiber Modified by Enzymatic Extrusion

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The effects of cellulase–xylanase synergistic treatment combined with twin-screw extrusion on the physicochemical, functional, and in vitro fermentation characteristics of buckwheat bran dietary fiber (BBDF) were investigated. Compared to single enzymatic hydrolysis, the synergetic modification was more effective in promoting the soluble DF (SDF) ratio (increased from 10.68% to 32.67%), functional properties, and prebiotic activities of BBDF and decreasing the insoluble DF (IDF) content. Under 0.6% (w/w) cellulase and xylanase with mild extrusion conditions (40–80 °C), the modified BBDF exhibited the highest capacities for glucose and cholesterol adsorption. FTIR and XRD experiments indicated that the enzymatic extrusion destroyed the intermolecular interactions of BBDF. Furthermore, enzymatically extruded BBDFs showed 2.2-fold higher short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) yields during in vitro fecal fermentation (total SCFAs: 87.8 mM vs. 40.0 mM in control), with butyrate production reaching 2.5 mM (+76.3%), among which the mildly extruded BBDFs exhibited superior prebiotic effects.
