Obstacles of Online Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic Among Science Teachers in Palu City

This study aims to describe the obstacles to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic among science teachers in Palu City. This research is a qualitative descriptive study using a survey method which was conducted in person and online. Primary data collection was done by interview, distributing questionnaires totaling 25 questions online to respondents. Respondents were 9 science teachers in 3 junior high schools in Palu Barat sub-district who were more than 25 years old with a bachelor's degree. The results showed that overall there were 4 items that did not hinder or did not become an obstacle in online learning for teachers, 12 statement items were considered inhibiting by teachers and 9 items were considered very inhibiting by teachers, the difficulty faced by teachers was the difficulty of evaluating practicum activities online, while some subjects in science lessons require practicum activities, this makes the teacher improvise in practicum activities and ask students to do simple independent practicums, but direct practicum is still considered better because the teacher can directly monitor student activities

Comparison of Apical Axial Derotation between Adolescent Idiopathic and Neuromuscular Scoliosis with Pedicle Screw Instrumentation

STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective study. PURPOSE: To compare outcomes of apical derotation with pedicle screws in idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS). OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: No information about apical derotation in NMS with pedicle screws is available. METHODS: We performed deformity correcting surgery using pedicle screw constructs on 12 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients (mean age 14.1 years) and 16 NMS patients (mean age 16.5 years). Preoperative, postoperative, and final follow-up radiographs were analyzed for Cobb's angle and pelvic obliquity, while apical rotation was measured on CT scans using the Aaro-Dahlborn method. RESULTS: For AIS, the mean preoperative Cobb's angle, pelvic obliquity, and apical rotation values were 57.3°, 2.8°, and 20.4°, respectively, and postoperatively they were 16.8°, 1.1° and 14.7°, respectively, showing significant correction. For NMS, the mean preoperative Cobb's angle, pelvic obliquity, and apical rotation values were 75.6°, 13.7°, and 42.9°, respectively, and postoperatively they were 27.1°, 5.8°, and 34.1°, respectively, also showing significant correction. There were no significant differences between AIS and NMS patients Cobb's angle p=0.306, pelvic obliquity p=0.887 and apical derotation p=0.113°. There were no differences in curve severity in the three groups (AIS, NMS &gt;80°and NMS &lt;80°); or the correction of apical rotation (p=0.25), although less correction was achieved in the Cobb's angle in the &gt;80 NMS group (p=0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Apical axial derotation can be achieved with posterior only pedicle screw fixation in NMS without anterior release, with comparable results in idiopathic scoliosis.

Assessment of soil health of different perennial tree species in orchard of coarse loamy Typic Haplustepts soil of Punjab

Assessment and quantification of soil health through the Soil Quality Index (SQI) is an important tool for the comparative evaluation of different land use systems. The present study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of four different perennial orchards (&gt;8 years)- kinnow (Citrus nobilis x Citrus deliciosa L.), guava (Psidium guajava L.), mango (Mangifera indica L.), and ber (Ziziphus mauritiana) on soil health attributes concerning different soil functions in surface (0–20 cm) and sub-surface (20–40 cm) soil layers. The effectiveness of these orchards in improving soil health was compared with that of a natural forest and cultivated agriculture (maize; Zea mays L.). Different perennial orchard plantations exhibited varying values for soil health attributes. Principal component analysis (PCA) identified soil texture as the primary factor influencing soil function in the selected orchards due to monsoonal flooding and erosion. The SQI values revealed that in surface soil (0-20 cm), kinnow (0.836) and guava (0.848) orchards had values comparable to the natural forest (0.857), whereas mango (0.727) and ber (0.708) orchards had even lower values than the cultivated agriculture (0.817). In the sub-surface soil (20-40 cm), cultivated agriculture (0.653) revealed the lowest SQI values, highlighting the importance of perennial tree species in improving sub-surface soil health through the high return of root biomass. The study concluded that kinnow and guava orchards improved soil health by preventing land degradation, whereas mango and ber orchards had a lower potential for this purpose. Proper management practices can help sustain soil health and prevent degradation.

Effects of neutral beam injection on tearing mode stability: insights from hybrid simulations

Abstract In tokamak plasmas, tangential neutral beam injection (NBI) produces (a large fraction of) circulating energetic ions (CEIs) and induces plasma toroidal rotation, both of which play an important role in the stability of tearing mode (TM). In this study, the effect of NBI on TM is systematically investigated using kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic hybrid code M3D-K. Here, the effect of NBI is modeled as the combined effects of CEI and toroidal rotation. The analysis focuses on the dependency of NBI’s effect on key physical parameters, including magnetic shear, total beta and plasma shape. The modification of rotation on equilibrium is self-consistently included in simulation, which can enhance the destabilizing effect of counter-CEI on TM and has a negligible contribution to the effect of co-CEI. Furthermore, the simulation results reveal that the co-NBI always reduces TM’s growth rate due to the dominant stabilizing effect of rotation and the weak net effect of co-CEI, agreeing well with most experimental results. Whether the counter-NBI stabilizes or destabilizes TM depends on the competition between the stabilizing contribution from rotation and the destabilizing contribution from counter-CEI. Specifically, the counter-NBI tends to stabilize TM when elongation and triangularity decrease, while magnetic shear, total beta and aspect ratio increase.

Stepwise Nanopore Evolution in One-Dimensional Nanostructures

We report that established simple lithium (Li) ion battery cycles can be used to produce nanopores inside various useful one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures such as zinc oxide, silicon, and silver nanowires. Moreover, porosities of these 1D nanomaterials can be controlled in a stepwise manner by the number of Li-battery cycles. Subsequent pore characterization at the end of each cycle allows us to obtain detailed snapshots of the distinct pore evolution properties in each material due to their different atomic diffusion rates and types of chemical bonds. Also, this stepwise characterization led us to the first observation of pore size increases during cycling, which can be interpreted as a similar phenomenon to Ostwald ripening in analogous nanoparticle cases. Finally, we take advantage of the unique combination of nanoporosity and 1D materials and demonstrate nanoporous silicon nanowires (poSiNWs) as excellent supercapacitor (SC) electrodes in high power operations compared to existing devices with activated carbon.

Conversion of conjugated<i>cis‐trans</i> octadecadienoates to the<i>trans‐trans</i> isomers<sup>1,2,3</sup>

Summary The conversion of methyl conjugated cis‐trans octadecadienoate to the trans‐trans isomer takes place easily in the presence of iodine and light. The reaction is more rapid in carbon disulfide than in Skellysolve C, and it is quite slow and accompanied by loss of conjugation in methanol. The rate of conversion increases with iodine concentration and light intensity and decreases with increasing fat concentration. It is affected by temperature also, but to a lesser degree. the influence of light may result from its catalytic effect on the decomposition of a reversible fat‐iodine complex. The reaction appears to be pseudo‐first order with respect to the substrate but is complicated by side reactions which inactivate the catalyst and destroy conjugation. The reaction occurs, at a measurable rate, with iodine in the dark, or in light without iodine, but no conversion takes place without iodine in darkness. The isomerization reaches an equilibrium when approximately 71% of the conjugation present is in the trans‐trans form. This equilibrium can be attained by starting with either cis‐trans or trans‐trans material. Very little, if any, cis‐cis isomer is present in the equilibrium mixture.

The role of phonetic and orthographic similarity in picture–word interference.

Picture-word interference refers to the fact that when a picture (i.e., line drawing) is presented with a word superimposed, picture-naming latency is longer than when the same picture is presented alone. This phe- nomenon, like the Stroop phenomenon, seems to be strongly influenced by the nature of the superimposed word. In the present paper the effects of phonetic and orthographic similarity between the word and the picture's name were investigated in order to get a clearer idea of the role these fac- tors play in the picture-naming process. Both orthographic and phonetic similarity were found to facilitate picture naming in comparison to an un- related word condition although not with respect to a picture alone condi- tion. Further, the data suggest that this facilitation is not an output phe- nomenon and, as such, can be separated from the response competition processes that lead to the basic interference effect. Instead, the locus of these effects appears to be the name-retrieval process with orthographic and phonetic information from the word aiding in the search for the picture's name. RESUME L'interference mot-image se rapporte au fait que lorsqu'une image (i.e., un dessin) est presentee avec un mot en surimpression, la latence d'i- dentification de I'image est plus longue que lorsque la meme image est presentee seule. Ce phenomene, comme celui de Stroop, semble etre for- tement influence par la nature du mot en surimpression. Les effets dus a la similitude phonetique et orthographiqu e existant entre le mot et le nom de I'image ont ete etudies dans le but de clarifier le role joue par ces facteurs dans le processus d'identification de I'image. Les similitudes orthogra- phiques et phonetiques facilitent toutes deux ('identification de I'image comparativement a la condition ou un mot non relie est utilise mais non par rapport a la situation ou I'image seule doit etre identifiee. De plus, les donnees suggerent que cette facilitation n'est pas liee a la sortie de I'infor- mation et peut, en ce sens, etre dissociee des processus de competition de la reponse qui conduisent a I'effet d'interference. Les effets trouves resi- deraient plutot dans le processus de recouvrement du mot dont la simili- tude orthographique et phonetique favorise la recherche du nom de I'image.

A new approach to investigate annoyance responses to sound elements

Soundscape research indicates that sound perception is a complex auditory experience with emotional content and the potential for annoyance should not be measured simply in terms of loudness. However, there are limited objective tools available to investigate annoyance and the relative health implications of negative soundscape elements. As part of a Positive Soundscapes (UK) project, the physiological responses [heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and electromyography (EMG) ] to soundscape elements were compared with the subjective assessment of pleasantness and arousal (assessed on 9 point scales) evoked in 80 subjects who listened to 18 x 8 second sound-clips. The data were analyzed via a linear mixed-model ANOVA. Listening to sound-clips lowered HR slightly but significantly. More unpleasant sound-clips caused larger falls in HR. Listening to a sound-clip raised RR slightly but significantly. The more pleasant the sound-clip was judged the greater was the rise in RR. The EMG tended to be raised by unpleasant sound-clips. Therefore, distinctive significant relationships were found between physiological measurements and the subjective estimates of pleasantness for the sound-clips presented. Therefore, an objective technique could be developed for sound engineering which allows for the potential investigation and assessment of annoyance levels to various sound elements.

On-line výuka tlumočnických seminářů (na příkladu pražského Ústavu translatologie FF UK)

The aim of this paper is to present how the online interpreter training was conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic at the Institute of Translation Studies (Charles University, Faculty of Arts) in the last three semesters (during the academic years 2019/2020 and 2020/2021). In this paper, we try to describe the advantages and disadvantages of distance interpreter training (DIT) both from the point of view of teachers and students, we explain how the online lectures of simultaneous and consecutive interpreting were organized and we also discuss the differences of the platforms that we used. The students were administered a questionnaire to explore the learners’ attitudes and feelings regarding remote interpreting in interpreter training with a view to identifying the possibilities and limits of this type of learning experience compared with conventional forms of instruction. The latter part of the paper will comment on the most interesting student responses.

Genome-wide association studies of stripe rust resistance in spring wheat landraces from Northwest China

Stripe rust is an important disease affecting wheat production around the world and poses a constant threat to yield. Discovery of new resistance genes is essential for long-term maintenance of resistance. This study used a group of 273 spring wheat landraces collected in northwest China to identify better sources of resistance to stripe rust. The landrace population was planted in five environments to assess adult plant resistance. Both genetic and environmental factors were associated with resistance variation. Several varieties, including Banjiemang, Gezanmai, and Datangsanyuemai, were found to be highly resistant in all environments. Population structure analysis divided the population into six subgroups and there were significant differences in stripe rust resistance responses between these subgroups. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using two algorithms to balance the false negative and false positive rates. Eight reliable quantitative traits loci (QTL) and their candidate genes were detected on chromosomes 1B, 2B, 3B, 5A, 6D and 7A. To determine the resistance of the identified QTL, we evaluated the seedling-stage infection responses of different genotypes to the stripe rust races CYR32 and CYR34. The pyramid effects of favorable alleles have been validated to improve resistance. The identified resistant varieties and QTL will be useful for further improving stripe rust resistance in wheat breeding.

Early Experience Determines Song Dialect Responsiveness of Female Sparrows

In a laboratory experiment, female white-crowned sparrows responded almost exclusively to male songs taken from their home dialect region and usually not to songs taken from an alien dialect region. Song dialect populations may represent a level of genetic population structure below that of the subspecies and may play an important role in songbird evolution.

Regeneration of the perineurium across a surgically induced gap in a nerve encased in a plastic tube.

Sciatic nerves of mice were cut and the early regenerative stages were studied after the stumps had been encased within plastic tubes and kept separate by a gap of 5 mm. Only isolated cells were seen inside the tube after 7 days; after 12 days active regeneration and myelination were seen proximally; more distally, cells with long processes formed large spaces filled with collagen and less numerous Schwann cells. Zonulae occludentes and segments of basal lamina became more evident at a later stage. One month after the operation an almost complete regeneration of the nerve had taken place and perineurial cells were lined by a continuous basal lamina. The regeneration of the perineurium seemed to take place from fibroblasts; their cytoplasm as well as that of Schwann cells contained fibrillary material at this stage, sometimes in relation to segments of basal lamina. The results of this study indicate that both types of cells take part in the formation of endoneurial structures and that the early arrangement of fibroblasts contributes to the orderly longitudinal alignment of collagen fibrils.

The King as Priest? Royal Imagery in Psalm 110 and Ancient Near Eastern Iconography

The seemingly discordant literary imagery of Ps 110 has been a point of contention for scholars. Many have been troubled by the reference to king as priest in verse 4 since the psalm is otherwise dominated by imagery of the deity at war and the king enthroned over his enemies. Arguments over this verse have drawn data primarily from biblical texts and from other ancient Near Eastern literature. Scholars employ various methodologies to make sense of this verse and its imagery. Some resolve this crux by claiming that warfare and priesthood were integrated within the role of the king in the ancient Near East. Others argue that the roles of king and priest were not connected in ancient Israel. Still others contend that, even if such a connection existed, it would not have been emphasized in a royal psalm until after the exile when the position of priest became far more important than in earlier periods. A turn to ancient Near Eastern iconographic data provides new insight on this discussion. This article demonstrates that constellations of priestly, royal, and violent imagery in ancient Near Eastern iconography assist us in understanding the literary imagery presented by Ps 110. This article, then, contributes to the understanding of the literary image of the king in Ps 110:4, while also clarifying the interconnection between the roles of kingship and priesthood in ancient Syria-Palestine.

Microbial Dynamics and Fertility Characteristics in Compost from Different Waste and Maturation Processes

We evaluated the abundance of microbial functional groups involved in compost fertility, and the chemical parameters of maturity and quality most commonly analyzed in compost products. We employed compost produced using the same hydrolytic stage and two maturation processes (with and without earthworms) and with different organic wastes. Our aim was to propose a valid tool for measuring the quality standards of compost fertility from a microbial perspective. The products obtained from both maturation processes were highly variable in their chemical and biological composition (without following a general pattern). Because the results are so heterogeneous, proposing a microbial population as universal indicator of the degree of compost fertility is very difficult. However, the microbial community structure might be used as a maturity index, because the products that best fulfilled the chemical stability parameters were those with lowest number of populations in its community.
