ESL TEACHERS’ PERCEPTION AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE ADOPTION OF EMERGENCY REMOTE TEACHING IN TIME OF CRISIS

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Background and Purpose: The operation of educational institutions was suspended for a certain period due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak as social distancing came into effect as one of the World Health Organisation (WHO) strategies to help prevent further spreading of the virus. Subsequently, the education field witnessed a drastic shift in the mode of instruction, from the traditional physical classroom learning to online education and distance learning. Particularly in Malaysia, the suddenness of the implementation of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) as per suggested by the Ministry of Education Malaysia, has opened a new paradigm and brought a new experience in teaching for most teachers. With ERT being activated for the second time, it became a major concern to various parties on the effectiveness of the mode of instruction towards the teaching and learning processes for both teachers and students. Hence, this paper aims to investigate ESL teachers’ perceptions and attitudes towards ERT to further develop the quality and effective distance education programs should a crisis like the current situation ever happens again. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative descriptive research approach as the research method. An online survey of 124 Malaysian English as Second Language (ESL) teachers was conducted for descriptive analysis. The respondents of this study were recruited using the purposive sampling technique. They should have at least one year experience in English language teaching prior to conducting lesson using ERT, and they should be in-service Malaysian ESL primary school teachers. Findings: The findings revealed that most of the teachers support ERT as the alternative mode of instruction in substituting the physical classroom learning in unprecedented time of crisis. However, certain difficulties remain, most notably issues regarding the digital divide. These implications call for more attention to developing more infrastructure and facilities, providing amenities and equipment as well as providing appropriate training to teachers. Contributions: The findings provide valuable insights from the teachers’ perspective, also known as the policy implementers, to help develop better e-learning curriculum and develop better contingency plans or strategies for emergencies and time of crisis.

Inclusion of Chicken Broth AAC1 as a Dietary Supplement Modulates the Gut Microbiome: Results of Next‐Generation DNA Sequencing

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

Objective The focus of this study was to characterize shifts in the rodent gut microbiota that occur as a result from the oral administration of the commercial chicken broth formulation AAC1. Background There is emerging evidence of the importance of maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. Changes in the ratio of the phylum Bacteroidetes to the phylum Firmicutes are associated with various metabolic disorders, obesity, and aging. Diet plays a key role in helping to promote the growth of bacteria that function to modulate inflammation in the gut and other tissues including the nervous system. Although many cultures report the benefit of chicken broth, the effect on the gut microbiome is not well understood. Methods Young adult male Sprague‐Dawley rats received 0.5% solid (w/v) AAC1 dissolved in their drinking water for three weeks. Basal fecal samples were collected prior to the inclusion of chicken broth into the diet. An additional control group was included that only received tap water. Fecal samples were collected from each animal at day 0 (basal) and day 21 (end of feeding). Also on day 21, animals were euthanized and caecal samples were collected. Total DNA was extracted and amplified from the V3‐V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene with sample‐specific barcode sequences prior to 454‐pyrosequencing. Returned sequences were assigned taxonomic classification using the SILVA rRNA database. Microbial community analysis was performed using phylogenetic packages in R . Only returned sequences greater than 96% identical to a known, published sequence were included in this analysis. Results A phylogenetic analysis of this raw data produced a total of 106 operational taxonomic units. Importantly, AAC1 did not alter the Bacteroidetes: Firmicutes ratio in fecal samples after 21 days while promoting the growth of Proteobacteria. Inclusion of AAC1 in the diet resulted in an increase in several operational taxonomic units including Faecalibacterium, Parasutterella, Morganella, and Oscillospira. In the cecum samples, AAC1 selectively increased expression of Lactobacillus as well as Odoribacter, Gastranaerophilales, Faecalibacterium, Allabaculum, Coprococcus, and Oscillibacter while decreasing the levels of Intestimonas . Conclusions Results from our study provide evidence that dietary inclusion of AAC1 chicken broth causes a shift in composition of the rodent gut microbiota to increase the percentage of bacteria reported to aid in overall digestive health, decrease inflammation, mitigate the disruptive effects of antibiotics, and reduce the number of sick leave days in adults. Thus, our findings support the notion that AAC1 might be useful as a therapeutic prebiotic. Support or Funding Information International Dehydrated Food
Current use of biologic graft extenders for spinal fusion.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Use of biologic graft extenders in spinal fusions is increasing. Multiple allograft alternatives exist to the "gold-standard" autologous bone grafting. The ideal graft extender is osteoconductive, osteoinductive and has osteogenic potential. While the ideal graft extender has yet to be found, available bone graft extenders have varying degrees of predominantly osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. This review will provide an update on available graft extenders including bone morphogenetic proteins, mesenchymal stem cells, and demineralized bone matrix. The goal is to provide a review of the current use in spinal fusions and future directions in biologics for spinal fusion.
Advancements in Molecular Imaging for the Diagnosis and Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a growing global health burden with high incidence and mortality rates. Despite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, outcomes after surgical treatment have not improved over the past three decades. Molecular imaging is an emerging field that enables researchers to study diseases at the molecular and cellular levels, enabling the detection of elevated serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) and abnormal expressions of various HCC-specific and nonspecific cell surface antigens and intracellular targets. Molecular imaging techniques detect liver lesions at the molecular and cellular level, allowing early detection and accurate staging of HCC. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging offers greater sensitivity and specificity, while hepatobiliary-specific radiotracers with SPECT imaging provide insights into benign and malignant lesion differentiation. Radiomics and artificial intelligence are vital in deciphering molecular imaging data, with machine learning algorithms boosting diagnostic gains and predicting treatment response. Theranostics, a state-of-the-art application, provides diagnostic and therapeutic leverage following a single imaging agent. By understanding tumor biology in real time, radiopharmaceuticals can be transformed into personalized radiotherapies, enabling clinicians to make science-driven decisions throughout the illness. Future directions include developing novel radiotracers and integrating AI into clinical decision-making. Collaboration between academic researchers, clinicians, and industry colleagues is crucial to converting exciting advances into improved clinical outcomes for HCC patients.
A new era of atopic eczema research: Advances and highlights

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Atopic eczema (AE) is an inflammatory skin disease with involvement of genetic, immunological and environmental factors. One hallmark of AE is a skin barrier disruption on multiple, highly interconnected levels: filaggrin mutations, increased skin pH and a microbiome dysbiosis towards Staphylococcus aureus overgrowth are observed in addition to an abnormal type 2 immune response. Extrinsic factors seem to play a major role in the development of AE. As AE is a first step in the atopic march, its prevention and appropriate treatment are essential. Although standard therapy remains topical treatment, powerful systemic treatment options emerged in the last years. However, thorough endotyping of the individual patients is still required for ideal precision medicine approaches in future. Therefore, novel microbial and immunological biomarkers were described recently for the prediction of disease development and treatment response. This review summarizes the current state of the art in AE research.
Article Coarse Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Transmembrane Protein-Lipid Systems

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

Abstract: Many biological cellular processes occur at the micro- or millisecond time scale. With traditional all-atom molecular modeling techniques it is difficult to investigate the dynamics of long time scales or large systems, such as protein aggregation or activation. Coarse graining (CG) can be used to reduce the number of degrees of freedom in such a system, and reduce the computational complexity. In this paper the first version of a coarse grained model for transmembrane proteins is presented. This model differs from other coarse grained protein models due to the introduction of a novel angle potential as well as a hydrogen bonding potential. These new potentials are used to stabilize the backbone. The model has been validated by investigating the adaptation of the hydrophobic mismatch induced by the insertion of WALP-peptides into a lipid membrane, showing that the first step in the adaptation is an increase in the membrane thickness, followed by a tilting of the peptide.

Vehicles Last Longer Currently There's a factor nobody sells autos with 5-digit odometers today. The option of a CPO warranty need to mollify several used-car doomsayers, but the mere existence of these CPO programs provides credence to an extremely convenient reality: Cars and trucks last longer than ever before. In regards to gas mileage, 200,000 may not be the brand-new 100,000, however however, automakers have taken excellent strides. Used-car shoppers should still make sure to have prospective acquisitions examined by an auto mechanic, however typically concerns about a made use of cars and truck's continuing to be lifespan deserve to be laid to rest. If "vehicles last longer than ever before" isn't adequate to persuade you, the schedule of car background reports might. The companies using car history records depend on their resources to provide precise as well as current information, implying whenever a lorry adjustments hands, has a mishap, or is repaired, the automobile background record ought to show it. There's a catch, of course, in that these cases need to be reported effectively in the first place. An excellent guideline is that a negative background report can save you from getting a bad vehicle, however an excellent history record does not render an independent assessment unnecessary.
Investigation on materials removal rate and surface roughness of temperature resisted Waspaloy during electric spark machining utilizing gray relational analysis

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Waspaloy, a nickel-based super alloy, has much potential in gas turbine component production. Machining this type of material using the traditional manufacturing method is very hard. Hence, electrical discharge machining (EDM) was selected for the investigation of the machining characteristics of Waspaloy by choosing the control parameters, namely, current, voltage, pulse on time, pulse off time, and spark gap. Gray relational analysis is carried out using 18 experiments according to an orthogonal array (L18) to determine the gray relation grade for this machining process with multiple machining characteristics such as material removal rate (MR), tool wear rate (TW), and surface roughness (SR). The significant objective of the multi objective optimization to attain high MR, low TW, and low SR is found out. From gray relation optimization, the optimum machining conditions for EDM, namely, current: 26 A, voltage: 200 V, pulse on time: 120 μs, pulse on time: 10 μs, and spark gap: 0.15 m, have been identified. The foremost parameter affecting the responses was found to be peak current.
Esr, Ftir, And Optical Characterization Of The Layered Metal Phosphorus Chalcogenide Lattices And Their Intercalated Products.

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The transition metal phosphorus chalcogenides (M(,2)P(,2)X(,6), where M is a divalent transition metal ion and X is a sulphur or selenium) crystallize in a layered structure where layers of transition metal ions are separated by two layers of chalcogenide atoms. Covalently bonded phosphorus, as P(,2), occupies 1/3 of the metal ion sites. The gap between chalcogenide layers, referred to as the van der Waals gap, is a region accessible to atoms, molecules, and ions. The insertion of such species into this region is known as intercalation. In this work, the properties of pure M(,2)P(,2)X(,6) lattices and the perturbation of these properties upon intercalation are investigated using ESR, optical, and FTIR techniques. From ESR spectra of Cd(,2)P(,2)Se(,6)-1%Mn(II), where the Mn(II) occupy Cd(II) sites, the conclusion is that the metal ion resides in a large axial field. The connection between this observation and the two dimensional nature of the material is discussed. Photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectra of Cd(,2)P(,2)S(,6), Cd(,2)P(,2)Se(,6), Mn(,2)P(,2)S(,6), Zn(,2)P(,2)S(,6), and Cd(,2)P(,2)S(,6)(pyridine) are reported. The similarity between the optical properties of these compounds and GaS and GaSe is demonstrated. The orientation and oxidation state of cobaltocene, Co(C(,5)H(,5))(,2), as an intercalant in Cd(,2)P(,2)S(,6) is determined from ESR and optical measurements. Results are in conflict with those previously published. The room temperature intercalation of Cd(,2)P(,2)S(,6) by a pyridine solution of Fe('+3) results in the formation of a highly colored blue species within the van der Waals gap of the lattice that has tentatively been assigned to S(,8)('+2). Mass spectrometry of the thermal deintercalation products suggests the presence of 4,4'-bipyridine also within the van der Waals gap. The intercalation mechanism of Fe('+3)/pyridine is found to be different than the intercalation mechanism of wet pyridine. FTIR spectra of Cd(,2)P(,2)S(,6), Cd(,2)P(,2)Se(,6), Mn(,2)P(,2)S(,6), Fe(,2)P(,2)S(,6), and Co(,2)P(,2)S(,6) reveal that, in the iron and cobalt lattices, the trigonal distortion about the metal ion results in an electronic absorption at 1800 cm('-1) and 1200 cm('-1) respectively. Intercalating n-propylamine into Fe(,2)P(,2)S(,6) shifts this transition to higher energy. The results reported in this thesis demonstrate the effectiveness with which intercalation chemistry can be studied. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.)

Adaptive neural control of MIMO uncertain nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics and output constraint

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Summary In this paper, an adaptive dynamic surface control (DSC) method is investigated for a class of multiple‐input–multiple‐output block‐structure uncertain nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics and output constraint. Modified DSC is used to construct the vector virtual control and control strategy in recursive each step. A dynamic signal is used to handle unmodeled dynamics in the system. Radial basis function neural networks are used to estimate the unknown continuous black‐box functions. By introducing the symmetric barrier Lyapunov functions, the constraint requirement of each element in the output is guaranteed in the designed adaptive control system. Using the defined compact set in the theoretical analysis and the proof characteristics of DSC, the introduced input uncertain term is effectively deal with in the controller design. The stability analysis shows that all the signals in the closed‐loop control system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded. A numerical simulation example with the two‐link flexible robotic system is provided to verify the effectiveness of the constructed control scheme.

Unlike interventional radiology, which in general has therapeutic connotations, interventions in nuclear medicine are usually performed to enhance diagnostic information. The number of such interventions is increasing. The editors of this multiauthor text estimate that while 10 years ago less than 1% of nuclear medicine investigations involved interventional procedures, these account for as much as 30% of the workload in some centres at the present time.

Variations on diasporic Viewpoints in The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri (2004) and Mira Nair’s Filmic Adaptation of the Novel (2007)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Confronting Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake (2004) and Mira Nair's filmic adaptation of the novel in 2007, this article analyses the similarities and variations between the representations of India seen through the eyes of those two 'Indian Artists living in the US'. Indeed, in spite of a common focus on a depiction of India as a place of origins for Indian American migrants, I explain how and why the novel elects the second-generation characters as its prime focalizers, while the film favours the second generation's viewpoint. Yet, both works appear to join in the same desire to show that these two generations' perceptions of India are essentially fantasized, which enables to reflect on the various means used by a novel and a film to stage such a reconstructed country. But, the obvious interest for cultural and family representations of India should not prevent us from taking into account the more historical picture that is drawn of India, even though this picture may seem to remain in the wings of each work. However unobtrusive it may be, such a more political vision raises the question of the repressed threat, which is embodied by a seemingly harmless Hindu India in a post 9/11 American world.
Determinants of child wasting in Bhutan. Insights from nationally representative data

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

To characterize the epidemiology of wasting and identify the main predictors of wasting, severe wasting and poor weight-for-height in children.We analysed a nationally representative sample of 2028 children (Multiple Indicator Survey, 2010).Royal Kingdom of Bhutan.Children aged 0-23 months.Wasting prevalence was significantly higher among infants aged 0-11 months than among children aged 12-23 months (12·0 v. 6·7 %; P=0·004) and among boys than girls (11·0 v. 7·5 %; P=0·04). Children from the Western region had 63 % higher odds of being wasted than children from the Central/Eastern regions (adjusted OR (AOR)=1·63; 95 % CI 1·14, 2·34). Poor feeding practices were among the most significant predictors of wasting and severe wasting. Children who were given prelacteal feeds in the first days of life had 2·5 times higher odds of being severely wasted than those who were not (AOR=2·49; 95 % CI 1·19, 5·19); inadequate complementary feeding in children aged 0-23 months was associated with 58 % higher odds of being wasted (AOR=1·58; 95 % CI 1·02, 2·47) and 2·3 times higher odds of being severely wasted (AOR=2·28; 95 % CI 1·13, 4·58). The association of poor infant feeding practices with wasting and severe wasting was particularly significant in infants (0-11 months).Programmes for the detection and treatment of severely wasted children need to prioritize very young children (0-11 months), particularly in the Western region. Programmes for the prevention of wasting need to prioritize the improvement of complementary foods and feeding practices in children aged 6-23 months.
