Students Perception of The Full Online Learning Quality During The Corona Pandemic

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Due to the Pandemic of Covid-19, teachers or lecturers must hold a full online teaching-learning process, so they should integrate technology into the teaching learning activities. To engage students in full online learning, Google Classroom, Edmodo, Kahoot, and Quizziz are some online learning platforms that are widely used by English teachers in teaching and learning. There are some video conference applications for doing video calls in the teaching-learning process, they are Zoom and Google Meet. This study focuses on studentsâ€™ perceptions of the full online learning quality during the corona pandemic. The research involved 50 participants consist of students of the English Education program in the second semester of IAIN Purwokerto. The data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observation and were analyzed using the qualitative methods approach. The results of the study indicated that the majority of participants considered did not enjoy the full online learning in English teaching and learning is not effective and efficient in terms of time and phone credit. One of the reasons is the slow-speed internet is one of the difficulties in operating those applications. So, they feel they could not get maximum knowledge and information from their lecturers in full online teaching-learning activities.
Traumatic Brachial Plexus Injuries: Epidemiological Study at two Egyptian Centers over 2 Years

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Data: Improving the knowledge about the epidemiology of the traumatic brachial plexus injuries (BPI) helps in providing an appropriate assessment and management of these cases. This issue is important especially in those injuries that have much burden on the individual and national income. Purpose: To evaluate the epidemiological, clinical, and outcome of traumatic brachial plexus injuries in Suez Canal University and Damanhur Medical National Institute Hospitals over 2 years. Study Design: A retrospective descriptive clinical case study. Patients and Methods: Eighteen patients had traumatic brachial plexus injury were operated by our team from January 2014 to December 2015. Data regarding the age, sex, causes of BPI, patterns of injury, surgical approaches, surgical procedures and recovery outcome were collected. Results: All the patients were males with mean age 31 years, 72% encountered road traffic accidents (RTA), and 90% were because of motorbike accidents. 60% showed upper BPI. Neurolysis, nerve grafting and nerve transfer were the surgical procedures that were followed. Functional recovery had been achieved in about 61% of the study population. Conclusion: Our study gives insight into epidemiological aspects of the BPI in Egypt and the role of our new center in the management of those injuries. Taking into consideration the small number of the study population, our results were more or less similar published literatures. (2016ESJ112)
Al Qaeda in Yemen Pushed Back, but Terrorism Threat Remains Strong

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT This article aims to assess the strength of Al Qaeda and its allies in the Arabian Peninsula after the Yemeni government, with the help of a U.S.-backed military campaign, pushed them out of the southern provinces of Abyan and Shabwa in June. Despite the gains of the new president, Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi, the Islamist fighters have shown that they are still capable of launching lethal attacks when and where they want. They continue to pose a significant threat to Yemen and to Western powers. President Hadi now faces huge challenges; the international community must continue to give him firm support—not only in fighting Al Qaeda and handling a reorganization of a divided military, but also in backing a democratic transition and stopping a worsening humanitarian crisis. The fear is that Hadi, who has failed to provide the population with basic services such as clean water, electricity, and health care, might lose the support, hearts, and minds of Yemen's citizenry. This would play into the hands of Al Qaeda. Last, the article looks at America's foreign policy in Yemen and its controversial expanded drones program as experts call for a broader, more comprehensive, and long-term U.S. approach in the country.
Cross-linking of alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor to fibrin catalyzed by activated fibrin-stabilizing factor.

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

During blood coagulation alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor (alpha 2PI) is cross-linked with fibrin by an activated fibrin-stabilizing factor (FSFa) plasma transglutaminase, activated coagulation factor XIII). When alpha 2PI was treated with FSFa in the absence of acceptor amino groups, the inhibitor lost more than 90% of its capacity to be cross-linked to fibrin because of hydrolysis of the gamma-carboxamides of FSFa-susceptible glutamine residues. Chemical modifications of the inhibitor's lysine epsilon-amino groups did not affect the cross-linking capacity of the inhibitor with fibrin, whereas the same chemical modifications in fibrinogen resulted in a remarkable loss of cross-linking capacity. These observations suggest that alpha 2PI plays a role as an acyl donor with its FSFa-susceptible glutamine residues in the cross-linking reaction with fibrin, and fibrin serves as an acyl acceptor with its lysine residues. The number of FSFa-susceptible glutamine residues/molecule of the inhibitor was estimated by measuring the maximum incorporation of [3H]histamine into the inhibitor and by analyzing the distribution of radioactivity in a tryptic digest of [14C]histamine-incorporated alpha 2PI.l It was found that each inhibitor molecule has one glutamine residue that is most susceptible to FSFa. When the radioactive histamine-incorporated inhibitor was reacted with excess amounts of plasmin, a small fragment carrying all the released radioactivity was rapidly released from the NH2-terminal part of the inhibitor moiety of the complex. The NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of the inhibitor was analyzed before and after treatment with FSFa or before and after incorporation of radioactive histamine. The glutamine residue at the second position from the NH2-terminal end was converted to a glutamic acid residue when the inhibitor was treated with FSFa. When the radioactive histamine-incorporated inhibitor ws analyzed, the radioactivity was found predominantly at the second position from the NH2-terminal end. These results indicate that the glutamine residue susceptible to FSFa in alpha 2PI is located next to the NH2-terminal residue.
Using Earley Parser for Verification of Totally Ordered Hierarchical Plans

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Hierarchical planning extends classical planning by capturing the hierarchical structure of tasks via decomposition of tasks to subtasks. Hierarchical plan verification is the problem of determining whether a given plan is valid according to that structure. As decomposition trees in totally ordered hierarchical planning domains resemble parsing trees of context-free grammars, one may exploit the techniques for context-free grammars also for hierarchical plans. In this paper, we study how the Earley parser, proposed for checking whether a given word belongs to a language defined by context-free grammar, can be extended to verification of totally ordered hierarchical plans.
Opening Lesson Plans to Support Teaching Innovation and Open Educational Resources Adoption

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Edu-AREA is a web 2.X application that aims at supporting teaching during the whole life-cycle of lesson plans development, from design, facilitating the creation and the re-use of previous lesson plans, activities and resources provided by other users, to monitor and reflection, enabling teachers to register all types of evidences and comments. Edu-AREA also allows users (e.g., other teachers, students, parents) to comment and provide feedback to OLP. Accounting for these pieces of feedback will contribute to the detection of problems, the adoption of innovations and the implementation of effective improvements. In addition, the development of an appropriate recognition policy (e.g. badges for teachers) and the provision of "curation" facilities will support the identification of valuable educational resources, activities and experiences. In this contribution we show the main ideas and functionalities underlying this application.
Further Evidence of an Association Between Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Cigarette Smoking:Findings from a High-Risk Sample of Siblings

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The authors investigated the relationship between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and cigarette smoking in siblings of ADHD and non-ADHD probands. They conducted a 4-year follow-up of siblings from ADHD and control-group families. In the siblings of ADHD probands, ADHD was associated with higher rates and earlier onset of cigarette smoking. There was also a significant positive association between cigarette smoking and conduct disorder, major depression, and drug abuse in the siblings, even after adjusting for confounding variables. Moreover, smoking was found to be familial among ADHD families but not control-group families. Our findings indicate that ADHD is a risk factor for early initiation of cigarette smoking in the high-risk siblings of ADHD probands.

Abstract 3572: SNPs in lncRNA genes are associated with non small cell lung cancer in a Chinese population

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

Abstract Background: Recent genetic studies indicate that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes encoding non-coding RNAs are associated with lung cancer susceptibility. But the comprehensive analysis of SNPs in long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) genes has not been elucidated. Methods: Based on the previous expression microarray of lncRNAs, we genotyped 17 SNPs located in 13 selected lncRNA genes by the TaqMan method in 1294 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases and 1729 controls. Then we followed up NSCLC patients to get the survival data, and conduct logistic regression, Kaplan-Meier method and Cox hazards regression analysis to explore the associations of SNPs with NSCLC risk and overall survival (OS). Results: We identified 4 SNPs significantly associated with NSCLC risk. For rs498238, compared with CC genotype, TT genotype could decrease the risk of NSCLC (adjusted OR=0.32, 95%CI=0.11-0.92, p=0.034). As for rs16901995, TT genotype showed significantly protective effect compared with CC genotype (adjusted OR=0.76, 95%CI=0.59-0.99, p=0.040). For rs219741 dominant model, increased risk of NSCLC was evident in younger patients (age &lt;60) compared those with wild type (adjusted OR=1.47, 95%CI=1.03-2.10, p=0.033). Rs3113503 demonstrated a controversial effect on NSCLC risk. No SNPs showed effects on overall survival of NSCL patients. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that genetic variants within lncRNA genes may predict NSCLC risk in Chinese population. Citation Format: Ruoyang Wang, Biyun Qian.

Factors affecting value added disclosure of public listed companies in Singapore.

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Value added statements are concerned with the calculation and presentation of value added and how this is shared among employees, the government, the providers of capital and the company for future investment. The employees receive their share as wages and salaries and the providers of capital receive their share as either interest or dividends. The government receives its share through the payment of corporate tax. Finally, the amount provided for future investment is captured as retained profits and depreciation. Hence, the distribution of value added can be viewed as the returns to each of the contributing factors of production, defined in broad terms.
A study of digitally recorded transitions in thin magnetic films

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Digital recordings were placed on thin magnetic films which covered a range of coercivities and thicknesses. The details of the resulting transitions between bits were observed by transmission electron microscopy and found to be defined by cross-tie walls in a saw-tooth like structure (STS). This is unlike the magnetization distributions assumed by most recording theories. The theories of several other researchers, based on their observations of STS could not explain the results observed in this work. This is due to theoretical energy expressions based on magnetization distributions somewhat different from those observed here. The STS tip angle was found to be proportional to H c -0.5 . The STS amplitude was proportional to film thickness times H c -1.5 . Attempts at formulating a theory to explain these results were not successful.
Effects of Ionic and Osmotic Strength on the Glucosyltransferase of Rhizobium meliloti Responsible for Cyclic β-(1,2)-Glucan Biosynthesis

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

ABSTRACT The cyclic β-(1,2)-glucans of Rhizobium meliloti and Agrobacterium tumefaciens play an important role during hypoosmotic adaptation, and the synthesis of these compounds is osmoregulated. Glucosyltransferase, the enzyme responsible for cyclic β-(1,2)-glucan biosynthesis, is present constitutively, suggesting that osmotic regulation of the biosynthesis of these glucans occurs through modulation of enzyme activity. In this study, we examined regulation of cyclic glucan biosynthesis in vitro with membrane preparations from R. meliloti . The results show that ionic solutes inhibit glucan synthesis, even when they are present at low concentrations (e.g., 10 mM). In contrast, neutral solutes (glucose, sucrose, and the compatible solutes glycine betaine and trehalose) were found to stimulate glucan synthesis in vitro when they were present at high concentrations (e.g., 1 M). Furthermore, high concentrations of these neutral solutes were shown to compensate for the inhibition of glucosyltransferase activity by ionic solutes. Consistent with their ionic character, the compatible solute potassium glutamate and the osmoprotectant choline chloride inhibited glucosyltransferase activity in vitro. The results suggest that intracellular ion concentrations, intracellular osmolarity, and intracellular concentrations of nonionic compatible solutes all act as important determinants of glucosyltransferase activity in vivo. Additional experiments were performed with an ndvA mutant defective for transport of cyclic glucans and an ndvB mutant that produces a C-terminal truncated glucosyltransferase. Cyclic β-(1,2)-glucan biosynthesis, although reduced, was found to be osmoregulated in both mutants. These results reveal that NdvA and the C terminus of NdvB are not required for osmotic regulation of cyclic β-(1,2)-glucan biosynthesis.
A Survey on Efficient Extraction of Named Entities from New Domains Using Big Data Analytics

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is an important step in text mining. This paper proposes a survey on extracting named entities from new domains using big data analytics. The survey shows the methods and challenges applied for the efficient extraction of named entities from various fields having large corpus of data such as banking, medical and social networks. Most of NER methods discussed below are normally based on supervised learning techniques which often require a large amount of training dataset to train a good classifier. However, many applications in Information Retrieval (IR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) suffer high from the noisy and short nature of texts.
TUMORS OF RATHKE'S CLEFT

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The nomenclature of pituitary and parapituitary lesions needs revision. In the first place, the term pituitary should be accepted and that of hypophysis discarded, orvice versa. Since the term pituitary, derived from the rootpituita, or phlegm, was adopted by the ancients because the structure was believed to supply the mucous secretion to the nasal membrane, we suggest abandoning it and accepting the alternate term hypophysis. There is general acceptance of the terms applied to the component parts of the hypophysis, namely, the pars anterior, pars intermedia and pars posterior, although Tilney proposed that the pars anterior be called the pituitary gland and the pars posterior (the neural lobe) the processus infundibuli. However, this communication does not concern the hypophysis itself but the parahypophyseal lesions, which are commonly called tumors of Rathke's pouch and craniopharyngeal tumors or craniopharyngiomas. But these last two terms, as Tilney says,1are unquestionably
Photodynamic therapy laser system

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment is a new treatment for tumour and Dermatology. With the successful development of the second-generation photosensitizer and the significant manifestations in clinics, PDT has shown a more extensive application potentials. To activate the photosensitizer, in this paper, we present a GaAs-based diode laser system with a wavelength of 635 nm. In this system, to prolong the working life-time of the diode lasers, we use specific feedback algorithm to control the current and the temperature of the diode laser with high precision. The clinic results show an excellent effect in the treatment of Condyloma combined with 5-ALA.
Testing quantum physics in space using high-mass matter-wave interferometry

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Quantum superposition is central to quantum theory but challenges our concepts of reality and spacetime when applied to macroscopic objects like Schrödinger's cat. For that reason, it has been a long-standing question whether quantum physics remains valid unmodified even for truly macroscopic objects. By now, the predictions of quantum theory have been confirmed via matter-wave interferometry for massive objects up to $10^4\,$ atomic mass units (amu). The rapid development of new technologies promises to soon allow tests of quantum theory for significantly higher test masses by using novel techniques of quantum optomechanics and high-mass matter-wave interferometry. Such experiments may yield novel insights into the foundations of quantum theory, pose stringent limits on alternative theoretical models or even uncover deviations from quantum physics. However, performing experiments of this type on Earth may soon face principal limitations due to requirements of long times of flight, ultra-low vibrations, and extremely high vacuum. Here, we present a short overview of recent developments towards the implementation of the proposed space-mission MAQRO, which promises to overcome those limitations and to perform matter-wave interferometry in a parameter regime orders of magnitude beyond state-of-the-art.
ACTR-60. A PHASE 2, HISTORICALLY CONTROLLED STUDY TESTING THE EFFICACY OF TTFIELDS WITH ADJUVANT TEMOZOLOMIDE IN HIGH-RISK WHO GRADE II AND III ASTROCYTOMAS (FORWARD)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract BACKGROUND A long-standing observation in neuro-oncology concerns a group of patients with WHO Grade II and III gliomas expressing isolated hTERT promoter mutations, which exhibit indolent histological features but are highly aggressive and resistant to standard chemoradiation therapy. These patients show an overall survival rate similar to glioblastoma WHO Grade IV, necessitating new treatment options. This represents the first study of its kind testing novel treatment for this rare subgroup of lower grade gliomas with high-risk cytogenetics. METHODS This Phase 2, single arm, multicenter open label study [NCT03906448] will enroll 100 adult patients with newly diagnosed WHO grade II and III astrocytoma without IDH mutations and 1p/19q codeletions and with isolated hTERT promoter mutations who have completed standard radiotherapy with concurrent temozolomide, followed by adjuvant temozolomide for 12 cycles in combination with 24 months of TTFields therapy. The primary endpoint is overall survival compared to historical controls. Secondary endpoints are safety, quality of life, and progression free survival. Correlative studies will examine the effect of TTFields on intratumoral immune microenvironment and the role of electric field distribution on disease control and outcomes. Sample size was based on improvement in median OS versus historical controls (N=59; median survival 22 months). Improvements in median overall survival was based on a one-sided Wald test of the Weibull regression coefficient (H0: beta=0, alpha=0.05). A consortium of 15 institutions across the US will participate, with the first enrollment May 2019. Total accrual of 100 is planned over 36 months. The survival results and the correlative studies are designed to provide new insights for future therapeutic development for these patients.
Dynamic Bragg gratings induced in erbium-doped fiber at phase-Modulated beams' coupling

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We present the results of an experimental study of dynamic amplitude and phase Bragg gratings induced in a heavy-doped erbium fiber at the wavelengths 1532 and 1538 nm under the 980-nm pumping. The technique of two phase-modulated beams' coupling was applied for an experimental measurement of the changes in refractive index and gain accompanying the gratings' formation in the fiber, and an analysis based on the Kramers-Kronig Relations for the fiber absorption/gain spectra and two-pass amplifying was performed for modeling these changes.
