Intercultural Communicative Competence Through Telecollaboration

In the context of foreign language education, ‘telecollaboration’ refers to the application of
online communication tools to bring together classes of language learners in geographically
distant locations to develop their foreign language skills and intercultural competence through
collaborative tasks and project work. The interaction has traditionally been text based and
asynchronous (i.e. not in real time). However, recent advances in online connections and
communication tools have meant that synchronous (i.e. in real time) oral communication as well
as multimodal exchanges involving combinations of diﬀerent media are becoming increasingly
popular. Telecollaboration has come to be seen as one of the main pillars of the intercultural turn
in foreign language education (Thorne 2006), as it allows educators to engage their learners in
regular, (semi-)authentic communication with members of other cultures in distant locations and
also gives learners the opportunity to reﬂect on and learn from the outcomes of this intercultural
exchange within the supportive and informed context of their foreign language classroom. In the
words of Kern et al. (2004), telecollaboration oﬀers educators the opportunity to… use the Internet not so much to teach the same thing in a diﬀerent way, but rather to
help students enter into a new realm of collaborative enquiry and construction of knowledge, viewing their expanding repertoire of identities and communication strategies as
resources in the process.

On Stability of C*-algebras

Let A be a oe-unital C*-algebra, i.e. A admits a countable approximate unit. It is proved that A is stable, i.e. A is isomorphic to A\\Omega K where K is the algebra of compact operators on a separable Hilbert space, if and only if for each positive element a 2 A and each &amp;quot; ? 0 there exists a positive element b 2 A such that kabk ! &amp;quot; and x x = a, xx = b for some x in A. Using this characterization it is proved among other things that the inductive limit of any sequence of oe-unital stable C -algebras is stable, and that the crossed product of a oe-unital stable C -algebra by a discrete group is again stable.

Burnout syndrome in the nursing staff from arequipa [Síndrome de burnout en personal de enfermería de arequipa]

Objective: To analyze the symptoms of the burnout syndrome in nurses. Methods: Correlational study conducted in a sample of 47 nurses from Arequipa city. Maslach´s Burnout Inventory for human service professions and statistical tests for correlations and comparisons of variables were used. Results: In the group, 21.3% of female nurses presented with severe emotional exhaustion and low personal performance indexes whereas 29.8% had high level of depersonalization. The correlations indicated that the burnout syndrome, the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were all positively related (p&lt; 0.01). Additionally, the variance analysis showed significant differences in the global scoring of the syndrome depending on the number of years worked at the service. Conclusions: The studied nurses present high levels of burnout syndrome and mainly those who have been working longer at the service or who have been working less than five years. © 2016, Editorial Ciencias Medicas.

Postmortem Biochemistry and Toxicology

The aim of postmortem biochemistry and toxicology is either to help establish the cause of death, or to gain information on events immediately before death. If self-poisoning is suspected, the diagnosis may be straightforward and all that could be required is confirmation of the agents involved. However, if the cause of death is not immediately obvious then suspicion of possible poisoning or of conditions such as alcoholic ketoacidosis is of course crucial. On the other hand, it may be important to investigate adherence to prescribed therapy, for example with anticonvulsants or antipsychotics, hence sensitive methods are required. Blood sampling (needle aspiration, peripheral vein, for example femoral, ideally after proximal ligation) before opening the body minimizes the risk of sample contamination with, for example, gut contents or urine. Other specimens (stomach contents, urine, liver, vitreous humor) may also be valuable and may be needed to corroborate unexpected or unusual findings in the absence of other evidence. The site of sampling should always be recorded. The availability of antemortem specimens should not necessarily preclude postmortem sampling. Appropriate sample preservation, transport, and storage are mandatory. Interpretation of analytical toxicology results must take into account what is known of the pharmacokinetics and toxicology of the agent(s) in question, the circumstances under which death occurred including the mechanism of exposure, and other factors such as the stability of the analyte(s) and the analytical methods used. It is important to realise that changes may occur in the composition of body fluids, even peripheral blood, after death. Such changes are likely to be greater after attempted resuscitation, and with centrally-acting drugs with large volumes of distribution given chronically, and may perhaps be minimised by prompt refrigeration of the body and performing the autopsy quickly.

Salmonella detection in poultry samples

Summary Study: The efficiency of two commercial PCR methods based on real-time technology, the foodproof® Salmonella detection system and the BAX® PCR Assay Salmonella system was compared to standardized culture methods (EN ISO 6579:2002 – Annex D) for the detection of Salmonella spp. in poultry samples. Material and methods: Four sample matrices (feed, dust, boot swabs, feces) obtained directly from poultry flocks, as well as artificially spiked samples of the same matrices, were used. All samples were tested for Salmonella spp. using culture methods first as the gold standard. In addition samples spiked with Salmonella Enteridis were tested to evaluate the sensitivity of both PCR methods. Furthermore all methods were evaluated in an annual ring-trial of the National Salmonella Reference Laboratory of Germany. Results: Salmonella detection in the matrices feed, dust and boot swabs were comparable in both PCR systems whereas the results from feces differed markedly. The quality, especially the freshness, of the fecal samples had an influence on the sensitivity of the real-time PCR and the results of the culture methods. In fresh fecal samples an initial spiking level of 100 cfu/25 g Salmonella Enteritidis was detected. Two-days-dried fecal samples allowed the detection of 14 cfu/25 g. Both real-time PCR protocols appear to be suitable for the detection of Salmonella spp. in all four matrices. The foodproof® system detected eight samples more to be positive compared to the BAX® system, but had a potential false positive result in one case. In 7-days-dried samples none of the methods was able to detect Salmonella likely through letal cell damage. Clinical relevance: In general the advantage of PCR analyses over the culture method is the reduction of working time from 4–5 days to only 2 days. However, especially for the analysis of fecal samples official validation should be conducted according to the requirement of EN ISO 6579:2002 – Annex D.

Polysiloxane Encapsulation of High Level Calcine Waste for Transportation or Disposal

Engineers at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) are investigating the use of a proprietary silicon-polymer to encapsulate high-level calcine waste stored at the INEEL's Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center (INTEC). The silicon-polymer-encapsulated waste may be suitable for direct disposal at a radioactive waste disposal facility or for transport to an offsite melter for further processing. In connection with silicon-polymer encapsulation, the University of Akron, under special arrangement with Orbit Technologies, the originator of the Polymer Encapsulation Technology (PET), has studied a simulated waste material from INTEC called pilot-scale calcine that contains hazardous materials but no radioactive isotopes. In this study, Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and Materials Characterization Center Test 1P were performed to test the waste form for disposal. In addition, a maximum waste loading was established for transporting the calcine waste at INTEC to an offsite melter. For this maximum waste loading, compressive strength testing, 10-m drop testing, melt testing, and a Department of Transportation (DOT) oxidizer test were performed.

Renal Cytochrome P450-Derived Eicosanoids and Hypertension

The cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenase system represents a major metabolic pathway of arachidonic acid in the kidney. The primary CYP monooxygenase-derived arachidonic acid metabolites (eicosanoids) in renal tubular and vascular tissues are hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which are further metabolized by epoxide hydrolase to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs). CYP-derived eicosanoids have been shown to affect vascular tone and tubular epithelial transport, contribute to the regulation of renal function, and participate in the long-term control of blood pressure. This review will focus on the biochemistry, pharmacology, and physiological significance of the CYP-derived eicosanoids in the mammalian kidney. In addition, we will also discuss the role of these metabolites in pregnancy- and obesity-induced hypertension in animal models, and in human hypertension.

Exchange Rate Passthrough to Export Prices: Assessing Cross‐Country Evidence*

Abstract A growing empirical literature reports evidence of a decline in exchange rate passthrough to import prices in a number of industrial countries. Our paper complements this literature by examining passthrough from the other side of the transaction; that is, we assess the exchange rate sensitivity of export prices (denominated in the exporter's currency). We find that the prices charged on exports to the United States are more responsive to the exchange rate than are export prices to other destinations, which is consistent with results in the literature that import price passthrough in the US market is relatively low. In addition, the exchange rate sensitivity of export prices over time has been significantly affected by country‐ and region‐specific factors, including the Asian financial crisis (for emerging Asia), deepening integration with the United States (for Canada), and the effects of the 1992 ERM crisis (for the United Kingdom).

PENANGGULANGAN KEMISKINAN

Poverty is a very complex development issues. Poverty is seen as spillovers from development and part of the problem in development. The existence of poverty is characterized by unemployment, underdevelopment, and inequality between regions. Poverty is also indicated by the presence of slums and squatter, and the existence of groups of people categorized as poor families caused by the limitations of economic, social and political life of their poor families. This phenomenon is demonstrated by the presence of several heads of families who are economically unable to meet the primary needs of family members. In addition, low levels of public education also makes it difficult to obtain jobs with adequate results or provide for his family. There are also a number of families whose low level of health that is hindering their work. This paper would like to discuss the steps that can be taken by the government to tackle poverty masalahan.&#x0D; KEY WORDS:Poverty, Unemployment, Underdevelopmen, Inequality, Poor Family, Low Level of Education.

Contribution analysis of carcass traits on auction price for Hanwoo steers in the Yeongnam region of Korea

In this study, Data were the carcass grade on each 53,829 head of hanwoo steers slaughtered 3 years before (2017, 2018, 2019), 32,910 head of hanwoo steers slaughtered after (2020, 2021, 2022) COVID-19 at Yeongnam region and 54,369 head of hanwoo steers slaughtered same period at except for Yeongnam region. To find out the contribution of carcass traits to auction price and total price were analyzed through regression coefficients by using multiple regression analysis. As environmental factors affecting these carcass traits, slaughter year and slaughter season were set and analyzed through the least square method. The results of slaughter year showed that the grade of carcass traits in Yeongnam region increased over the years. In addition, in the slaughter season, the grade of carcass traits in the fall was found to be excellent. According to the contribution analysis, the results of the contribution ratio to auction price of before and after COVID-19 in Yeongnam region and after COVID-19 in all regions except Yeongnam were the same in order of marbling score, backfat thickness, eye muscle area, carcass weight. Also, the contribution ratio to total price were the same in order of carcass weight, marbling score, backfat thickness, eye muscle area. The general carcass grade is intended to use and analyze data from Yeongnam region, which has excellent backfat thickness and carcass weight, also has the largest number of elite cows selected through the verification work of elite cow by Korea Animal Improvement Association, and use it as a means for strategies to increase farm’s income and advance to high quality about Korean beef.

Fine-Tuning Pre-trained Large Time Series Models for Prediction of Wind Turbine SCADA Data

The remarkable achievements of large models in the fields of natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV) have sparked interest in their application to time series forecasting within industrial contexts. This paper explores the application of a pre-trained large time series model, Timer, which was initially trained on a wide range of time series data from multiple domains, in the prediction of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) data collected from wind turbines. The model was fine-tuned on SCADA datasets sourced from two wind farms, which exhibited differing characteristics, and its accuracy was subsequently evaluated. Additionally, the impact of data volume was studied to evaluate the few-shot ability of the Timer. Finally, an application study on one-turbine fine-tuning for whole-plant prediction was implemented where both few-shot and cross-turbine generalization capacity is required. The results reveal that the pre-trained large model does not consistently outperform other baseline models in terms of prediction accuracy whenever the data is abundant or not, but demonstrates superior performance in the application study. This result underscores the distinctive advantages of the pre-trained large time series model in facilitating swift deployment.

[Extreme heat is a growing problem for global public health].

High temperatures have a direct impact on body functions. Heat waves increase mortality risks due to myocardial infarction, stroke, and pulmonary disease. Cold temperatures also increase mortality, but with a longer latency. A recent study found only a small difference between the minimal mortality temperature (MMT) and the temperatures at which mortality rose steeply, although the majority of deaths occurred at temperatures below MMT. Global climate change with increasing temperatures seriously threatens health, work capacity, and generation of household incomes, particularly among poor people in hot countries. In Sweden, heat waves increase mortality in vulnerable groups of elderly people and patients with chronic heart and lung diseases, as well as those performing intensive physical work in hot environments. The medical profession can play an important role not only in prevention of climate change, but also in adaptation to climate change with the goal of minimizing health risks.

Swedish Taxation in a 150-year Perspective

Abstract This paper examines the development of taxation in Sweden from 1862 to 2010. The examination includes six key aspects of the Swedish tax system, namely the taxation of labor income, capital income, wealth, inheritances and gifts, consumption and real estate. The importance of these taxes varied greatly over time and Sweden increasingly relied on broad-based taxes (such as income taxes and general consumption taxes) and taxes that were less visible to the public (such as payroll taxes and social security contributions). The tax-to-GDP ratio was initially low and relatively stable, but from the 1930s, the ratio increased sharply for nearly 50 years. Towards the end of the period, the tax-to-GDP ratio declined significantly.
