The Involvement of Gender in STEM Training for Teachers

<p style="text-align:justify">According to General Statistics Office of Vietnam on 30th September, 2017, Vietnam has 858,800 teachers, and among those, 615,720 people were female (occupied 71.7%). It can be seen that female teachers made up a big percentage in the education sector. Besides, STEM education is soaring as a new approach in training with prominent advantages, such as: theories embedded in actual practices, ability-oriented development, pressure reduction in studying … This is not only a trend but also a necessary element in new teaching modules at high school – which will be implemented in academic year 2020-2021 in Vietnam. As a result, it is necessary to consider the gender factor in the process of training and developing teaching with STEM education. This paper will present the results from the research that took place from 2015 to 2018 within Thai Nguyen University of Education.</p>

Knowledge, attitude, and practice of bariatric surgery among adult Saudi community, Saudi Arabia, 2019.

The prevalence of overweight and obesity is higher in developed countries than in developing countries of all ages (data from 2013). This study is aimed at assessing the knowledge and attitudes of people in Saudi Arabia toward bariatric surgery. To do this, the specific objectives sought to determine the satisfaction of people who underwent bariatric surgery and to determine the importance of bariatric surgery among the community.Methods:The study is a cross-sectional, community-based study conducted among the Saudi adult population. The final sample size was 891 respondents from different regions of Saudi Arabia. Data collection was through online questionnaires that consisted of 26 questions to assess the perceived knowledge and attitudes toward obesity and bariatric surgery adopted from Abouhamda (2016).Results:More than 70% of the study participants were aged between 18 and 25 years. There were more males than there were females 76.0% versus 24.0%, while most of the respondents were living single. The proportion of respondents across listed regions of Saudi Arabia significantly varied at a 5% level (P = 0.000). Sixty percent of the study respondents were within the normal weight range (BMI 18.5–25), 9% were marked as obese (BMI >30). Age group was not significantly associated with knowledge of quantization and perceived the knowledge that quantization can cause death (P > 0.05 in both cases).Conclusion:The knowledge about obesity in Saudi Arabia is generally good and most Saudis would rather take the approach of proper diet as opposed to surgery, with the bigger percentage being in the normal range (BMI 18.5–25).

A New TTZ Feature Extracting Algorithm to Decipher Tobacco Related Mutation Signature Genes for the Personalized Lung Adenocarcinoma Treatment

The big percentage of lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD) arising in lifetime nonsmokers and the low sensitivities of known major tobacco biomarkers urgent the identification of real molecular signatures for corresponding personalized treatment. Moreover, cancer is presumed to have a symptomatology strongly dependent on modules of functionally-related genes rather than on a unique important gene. Our aims, therefore, are to identify signature genes by optimizing the tobacco exposure pattern (TEP) classification model and to uncover their interaction relationships at different molecular levels. A new method, TTZ, is proposed to extract features as input variables to TEP classification model. Based on the Z-curve method, TTZ is able to extract features not only from mutation frequencies but also from sequencing information of insertions and deletions. Two independent LUAD datasets, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Broad data, are downloaded to train and test the TEP classification model. Thirty-four genes are identified as tobacco related mutational signature genes with the accuracies of 93.55% and 92.65% for train and validation data, respectively. The inference of genetic and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks uncover that LAMA1, EGFR, KRAS and TNN are the most connected core genes. Six signature genes are proved significantly involved in the cilium damage pathway, which is considered as one of the root causes of lung cancer. The identified signature genes may serve as potential drug targets for the precision medicine of LUAD. Most importantly, the TTZ feature extracting method can be easily extended to other disease or cancer related mutational signature identification issues.

Assessing the Impact of Secondary City Development on Sanitation Services: The Case of Muhanga District 2013-2017

This research was conducted on the assessment of the impact of Muhanga city development on sanitation services, the primary data regarding sanitation was collected using questionnaire survey, interviews and observation. To evaluate land use land cover situation from the year 2013 up to 2017 remote sensing techniques was used. The results from collected data showed that 65% of generated solid waste is composed by organic waste, while waste collection coverage from household level is low with a percentage of 9%. The analysis of land use land cover situation showed that during the five years, settlement area increased by 8.67%, the amount of waste generation is increasing with population growth, and it varied from 1,555m 3 in 2014 to 3,045m 3 in 2017. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) results shows that the amount of solid waste generated is significantly difference between the year 2014 and the year 2017. Regarding liquid waste management there are drainage systems constructed, although the survey made showed that 39.2% of households sampled highlighted that storm water is still a problem in their residential area. The obtained results evidenced that solid waste collection at household level by a private company is a new practice in the city, and the collection coverage is still low compared to city resident, consequently there is still informal dumpsite in open area across the city. The private sector needs to be more committed in sanitation services provision, and the public sector needs to be involved in sanitation infrastructures development by focusing on composting facilities as a big percentage of generated waste is biodegradable. The public sector has a direct influence on the private sector and the community, the community and the private sector need to become familiar with working together for the purpose of improving sanitation with the aim to protect the environment.

Light distortion of soft multifocal contact lenses with different pupil size and shape

PurposeTo study the light distortion effects of soft multifocal contact lenses and the influence of different pupil size and shape. MethodsA total of 14 eyes of 7 healthy contact lens users (mean age 28.6 ± 8.5 years) were recruited. The “Light Disturbance Analyser” device was employed for light characterization. The selected lenses were the monthly disposable “Biofinity multifocal” (CooperVision, CA, USA), both centre-distance and centre-near designs (addition power +2.50 D). Two circular pupils of 3 mm and 5 mm of diameter, and an elliptical shape (3 horizontal and 5 vertical mm) were used. Metrics such as the light distortion index (LDI), best-fit circle radius and its irregularity were analysed, among others. ResultsThe LDI was generally higher with multifocal lenses, varying from 3.7 ± 0.3 % of the single vision lens to 6.1 ± 3.3 % of the multifocal centre-distance design and the 5-mm pupil. Larger pupils gave higher LDI values, changing from 4.5 ± 2.0 % (3 mm) to 6.1 ± 3.3 % (5 mm) with the centre-distance design. The elliptical pupil produced the largest discrepancy in the distortion size between the vertical and horizontal directions. The centre-distance and centre-near designs behaved similarly in terms of light distortion. ConclusionsThe multifocal contact lenses of the study increased light distortion effects under low light conditions, especially with larger pupils. The shape of the distortion pattern is associated with the shape of the pupil. It seems that not all, but a big percentage of light distortion would be produced by the presence of the out-of-focus images given by a multifocal lens.

Model of stochastic spanning revenue-sharing contracts for multi-echelon supply chains

We consider a stochastic demand problem under a fixed-price newsvendor setting. We investigate revenue-sharing contract models that could be implemented to coordinate all supply chain actors in a decentralized decision-making supply chain in order to act together coherently. We develop and compare two revenue-sharing contract models: a pairwise contract model between two players in each echelon and a spanning contract model that covers all echelons. In the last model, we assume that the most downstream entity initiates a single contract involving all upstream entities. Our numerical experiments show that in the decentralized condition, the most upstream entity will have the biggest percentage of revenue, while the most downstream one will receive the smallest. We also demonstrate that in these two types of contracts, all of the entities could have a bigger profit in the decentralized condition than that in the centralized one.

Proximate nutritional composition and heat-induced changes of starch in selected grains and seeds ♣

Grains are cultivated worldwide and comprise a big percentage of the world’s daily meals being at the base of the Food Guide Pyramid. Whole grains provide a wide range of nutrients and phytochemicals that optimize health. In the present study commercially available samples of eight grain and seed species (chia, common oat, proso millet, amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, linseed, and einkorn) were studied in respect of their nutritional composition – dry matter, ash, macro-and microelement content, crude protein and fatty acid composition. The dry matter content in the grains ranged from 87.91% to 94.39%, whereas the ash was from 1.24 % to 3.29 %. The analysis of the mineral content shows the predominant content of K, Mg, P and Ca. The palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and arachidic acid were the most abundant fatty acids of the evaluated ones. The crude protein content varied between 12.73% in common oat and 23.72% in chia. The established ash content among the investigated grains ranged from 1.24% to 3.29%. The results obtained revealed the nutritional content and the potential health effects of selected commercially available grains and pointed out their possible application in culinary. The consumption of a variety of whole grains ensures more health-promoting nutrients, as well as makes meals more attractive.

Oświata i szkolnictwo polskie na Białorusi. Analiza dyskursu prasowego «Głos znad Niemna na uchodźstwie» w latach 2014–2016

Artykuł koncentruje się na analizie dyskursu prasowego dotyczącego oświaty i szkolnictwa polskiego na Białorusi w latach 2014–2016 w tygodniku «Głos znad Niemna na uchodźstwie». Sytuacja polskiej mniejszości na terenach Białorusi była zawsze trudna ponieważ polityka władz białoruskich skupiała się na niszczeniu wszystkiego co związane było z polską kulturą oraz posiadającego polskie korzenie: inteligencja, szkoła, teatr, prasa. Sytuacja Polaków należących do polskiego społeczeństwa zamieszkującego obszar poza granicami we współczesnej Białorusi wydaje się być skomplikowana. Z jednej strony, stanowią oni duży odsetek społeczeństwa na Białorusi, jednakże z drugiej strony, znaczna ich część ma problemy z zachowaniem polskiej tożsamości. Polska prasa na Białorusi odgrywa ważną rolę w procesie tworzenia i rozwoju świadomości narodowej. Przez wiele lat tak ważną rolę odgrywał tygodnik «Głos znad Niemna na uchodźstwie» wydawany przez organ prasowy Związku Polaków na Białorusi. Analiza dyskursu prasowego okazała się być szczególnie pomocna w odniesieniu do spraw etycznych oraz mniejszości narodowych. Przeprowadziliśmy analizę pięciu wybranych artykułów w odniesieniu do oświaty i szkolnictwa polskiego na Białorusi na łamach tygodnika «Głosu znad Niemna na uchodźstwie». Zaobserwowaliśmy jakie tematy porusza się w prasie w odniesieniu do polskiej oświaty, czym jest dyskurs i tworzenie, rodzaje stosowanego słownictwa oraz struktur, jak i osiągnięte zmiany w zachowaniu oraz mentalności czytelników.

Awareness assessment of biophilic design principles application

The green architecture has developed in the last few years, since the sustainable system have evolved specially in buildings construction. The aim is to keep sources of non-renewable energy. With this evolution, a new concept related to the green architecture has been emerged called biophilia, or the living nature which is related to the human inheritance of loving nature. Many studies have proved that the existence of humans in the external environment reduces physiological and neurological distress and makes them feel better. This research deal with definition of architectural biophilic design with relation to the physical and physiological human health; as well as the merging of building interior with nature and their effects on the employee in terms of health and productivity. Moreover, it investigated the applications of the biophilic design inside work place to make it more comfortable and effective for the employee to enhance their productivity. The aim of this paper is to assess awareness about the biophilic design and its impact on employees and their wellbeing in Egypt because it’s too important to apply biophilic design especially at workspaces here in Egypt which had big percentage of unsuitable places to work full of stress and anxiety.

EFL Teachers’ Cognition on ICT: Relevance for Training and Professional Development

<p>Teacher cognition has been known as what teachers think, know, and believe. Its origin could be traced back to the development of Psychology highlighted complex relationship between what people do, what they know, and what they believe. Educational researchers believe that in teaching, teachers’ mental lives play a role in their instructional choices. This study reports a case of EFL English teachers’ cognition towards the use of ICT to facilitate language skill practice. Attitudes on the use of ICT by thirty eight English teacher participants of a training program on the use of cloud-based apps were assessed resulting in a higher perceived level of affective factors and usefulness of technology products than the other two; their perceived control on their use and their behavioural intention to explore them. Further open-ended assessment and interview revealed familiarity with various technology products for language teaching as beginner users as the biggest percentages. Results of this assessment provided useful information for ICT training conducts suggesting effective methods and techniques of material delivery and assistance. Moreover, the findings revealed choices of approach and strategies to enhance ICT professional development covering both internal and external factors are related with their job responsibilities and nature.</p>

Wavelet Packets Transform processing and Genetic Neuro-Fuzzy classification to detect faulty bearings

A great investment is made in maintenance of machinery in any industry. A big percentage of this is spent both in workers and in materials in order to prevent potential issues with said devices. In order to avoid unnecessary expenses, this article presents an intelligent method to detect incipient faults. Particularly, this study focuses on bearings due to the fact that they are the mechanical elements that are most likely to break down. In this article, the proposed method is tested with data collected from a quasi-real industrial machine, which allows for the measurement of the behaviour of faulty bearings with incipient defects. In a second phase, the vibrations obtained from healthy and defective pieces are processed with a multiresolution analysis with the purpose of extracting the most interesting characteristics. Particularly, a Wavelet Packets Transform processing is carried out. Finally, these parameters are used as Genetic Neuro-Fuzzy inputs; this way, once it has been trained, it will indicate whether the analyzed mechanical element is faulty or not.

Study The Severe Effects of Iron Compounds Presenting in Sandstone on the Deterioration of Wall Paintings of Archaeological Tombs in Bahariya Oasis - Egypt

The Wall paintings in Bahariya oasis expose to various deterioration factors, especially the resulted deterioration from the geological nature of sandstones' supports; sandstone of Bahariya formation is considered the weakest sandstone type in Egypt because of its geological formation which contains a very big percentage of iron oxides. Sandstone samples were taken, analyzed and examined by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, the iron oxides are thecement material in sandstone which affect negatively on the wall paintings in the selected tombs (Badi –Ishtarand Bannantiu tombs),they caused a lot of deterioration phenomena to the wall painting layers like: layers loss,black spots, cracking through all the layers and sandstone support weakness that threatens the remaining wall paintings and the safety of the tombs. Iron oxides percentage in Badi – Ishtartomb is more than Bannantiu tomb and this is reflected on the wall paintings case in Badi – Eshtar. This research sheds the light on this phenomenon and its effect on the wall painting's deterioration.

Protecting the Cerrado: where should we direct efforts for the conservation of bat-plant interactions?

Cerrado is a biodiversity hotspot composed of a vegetation mosaic landscape ranging from grasslands to forests. It holds a high endemicity of plants and vertebrate species suffering from high habitat destruction rates. We aimed at characterizing the mutualistic interactions between bats and the plant species present in their diet in the different habitats of the Cerrado to determine which habitats should be prioritized for the conservation of most bat-plant interactions. In order to do that, we assessed two datasets, one covering all interactions between bats and plants in Latin America and the other with the distribution of plant species across the 13 different Cerrado habitats and the Cerrado as a whole. Forests played the major role in the structure of the interactions as they hold the highest number of interactions, with a big percentage being unique to these habitats. The removal of forests in our simulations led to a high dissimilarity of the original structure of the interactions and the extinction of 1/3 of all bat species. Special attention must be given to key habitats such as gallery forests as they not only help connecting the landscape, but also hold a large proportion of the interactions between bats and plants in the Cerrado and play an important role on the network structure between bats and plants in the heterogeneous Cerrado landscapes.

Measuring Livability at the Neighborhood Scale – Development of Indicators and Methods for the Comparison between Neighborhoods and Best Practice within the Chosen City

A method that allows an assessment of the livability by comparing different neighborhoods with each other as well as with the best practice was developed in this paper. First of all, a set of 51 indicators comprising the categories of connectivity, traffic, public transportation and bicycle infrastructure, urban form, density, land use, open space coverage ratio, potential for PV, green roof and materials were defined. The values for these indicators were investigated for 36 neighborhoods in the city of Hamburg, Germany. Secondly, some neighborhoods were chosen as the most livable neighborhoods and the average of their results was used for indicating the best practice in Hamburg. This approach allows users to compare their chosen neighborhoods with the best practice of their own city. Thirdly, each absolute indicator value was transferred into a relative one, where 0 % represents the lowest found value and 100 % the highest one. Fourthly, each indicator was assigned with a character. If the smaller percentage the better, like percentage of buildings near a noisy street, this character is “S”. If the bigger percentage the better, like frequency of public travel, the character is “B”. If the closer to the best practice the better, like inhabitants per hectare, the character is “R”. Thus, the ideal neighborhood would show 0 % for character S, 100 % for B and the best practice for R. Finally, the results are presented in the radar charts in order to facilitate the comparison.

Model selection for accurate daily global solar radiation prediction in China

Solar energy can share with a big percentage in solving in the environmental pollution and energy crisis in China. For the most application of solar energy, an accurate information of solar radiation amount received by a horizontal surface is the first step. In this study, nine-day of the year based models are calibrated and evaluated to estimate the daily global solar radiation (DGSR) on a horizontal surface using long-term data of 84 stations all over China. After dividing China into five solar climatic zones, the highest performance model for each zone is chosen to be a general day of the year based models and then calibrate and evaluated at each solar zone. Based on statistical indicator; the root mean square error (RMSE), the mean absolute bias error (MABE), coefficient of determination (R2) and the correlation coefficient (r) and the uncertainty based on a 95% confidence level (U95) and Taylor diagram, results show that the models perform best in the solar zones that receive a high amount of solar radiation and the performance decreases with decreasing of the daily solar radiation incidence. The hybrid sine and cosine wave day of the year based models exhibit the best performance, model D7 is the best for zone I and model D8 for zones II and IV. For zones II and V, the Gaussian form model (D3 model) and the 4th order polynomial model (D4 model) yield high performance, respectively. Whereas, the two Gaussian form model is the worth performance for all zones. The developed general day of the year based models for each zone in this study can be used with high accuracy to estimate the (DGSR) on a horizontal surface in areas where there is no data or the data is missing all over China.

The Reading Comprehension Levels of Grade 12 ABM Students: An ESP Design for Basic English Course

This study determined the reading comprehension level of grade 12 ABM students of Mater Dei College, Tubigon, Bohol during the school year 2018-2019 with 95 subjects comprising the entire population. Participants were mostly from rural junior high schools of northern part of Bohol. John’s Basic Reading Inventory was individually administered to each student to collect the needed data for this study. The gathered data was used to conceptualize the proposed English for Specific Purposes modules for basic English course, particularly for the senior high school ABM students. Analysis on the data gathered was anchored on the different theories of reading comprehension The findings of the reading inventory administered to the grade 12 ABM students revealed that their oral and silent reading comprehension levelwas generally on frustration level. This shows that a big percentage of students were not able to analyze the passage correctly. Hence, the students need much assistance from the teacher in analyzing the selection.

Economic Burden of Injuries argues for more Safe Communities in Iran and EMRO

Globally, injuries cost nearly 1 trillion USD during 2016 equivalent to one-third of the total GDP EMRO countries. World Health Organization (WHO) and other United Nations (UN) agencies are reiterating policy advocacies and planning for injury prevention activities. Total burden of injuries during 2018 for the EMRO countries was 163 538 795 009 USD while only RTI burden was 46 056 411 787 USD (28.2%). The EMRO countries are significantly loosing a big percentage of their GDPs due to amenable injury burden: Afghanistan 9.2%, Bahrain 1.93%, Djibouti 6.2%, Egypt 3%, Iran (Islamic Republic of) 4.3%, Iraq 12.95%, Jordan 3.24%, Kuwait 2.88%, Lebanon 3.81%, Libya 7.95%, Morocco 2.73%, Oman 3.46%, Pakistan 5.25%, Qatar 3.34%, Saudi Arabia 4.1%, Somalia 9.2%, Sudan 7.4%, Syrian Arab Republic 24.1%, Tunisia 2.98%, United Arab Emirates 2.81% and Yemen 10.3%. Road Traffic Injuries constitute almost one-third of the total injury burden in the EMRO countries accruing mentionable amount of the countries’ GDPs: Afghanistan 1.2%, Bahrain 0.6%, Djibouti 1.9%, Egypt 0.9% Iran (Islamic Republic of) 1.96%, Iraq 1.3%, Jordan 1.7%, Kuwait 1.2%, Lebanon 0.96%, Libya 1.6%, Morocco 1.23%, Oman 1.72%, Pakistan 1.2%, Qatar 0.99%, Saudi Arabia 1.74%, Somalia 2.16%, Sudan 1.92%, Syrian Arab Republic 0.91%, Tunisia 1.33%, United Arab Emirates 0.85% and Yemen 1.92%. In EMRO, the economic burden of injuries as percentage of GDP is engulfing almost the whole health expenditure (% of GDP) of the countries. In some countries it is more than double. Therefore due to injuries the EMRO countries are lacking high behind their healthcare budget resulting overall shortage of healthcare delivery. Safe communities rely on interactive approach within the context of a partnership focusing sustainable health and welfare development through injury prevention and safety promotion. Most importantly it has emphasized on the policies and practices of governance and of collaboration in community development. Safe Communities are more cost-effective program than prevalence studies. Safe Communities are more successful as cost-effective policy tools rather than simple epidemiological studies. Safe Communities have an estimated cost-benefit ratio of 1:10. When the countries are losing so much of their GDPs due to preventable injuries why not EMRO calls for more Safe Communities?
