Research skills R+D+I and industry 4.0, STEM and TRIZ and their application in the professional skills of applied physics students

The advancement of science and technology requires that future professionals in all fields of study have developed certain professional and investigative skills. The impact of the industrial revolution 4.0 has included the education sector. For these reasons, we designed a chart based on five competencies that are essential for the professional improvement of future graduates of the Engineering career. These competencies were: industry 4.0, TRIZ, STEM and research competencies in R+D+i projects. A didactic material was prepared to be applied to 225 basic level students in the subject of Applied Physics together with a rubric that determines the skills that the participants have developed during their study from the upper secondary level to the basic level of the career. engineering. The quantitative analysis of the study was carried out with inferential descriptive statistics, in which we found that the students have not developed certain skills: social skills, leadership, cooperative work, assertive communication, demotivation, lack of interest in contributing ideas in group work, no they know how to assign roles. A qualitative technique of motivational didactic development (survey of previous motivations, prejudices and feelings) and the inventive TRIZ were applied to promote the development of certain skills in students. The qualitative analysis of the study was carried out with the Chi Square technique, the results of our research confirm that the didactic-pedagogical-experimental technique has a significant impact on the improvement or development of professional skills in students regardless of the skills acquired in previous years. levels

Cross-species single-cell landscapes identify the pathogenic gene characteristics of inherited retinal diseases.

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) affect ∼4.5 million people worldwide. Elusive pathogenic variants in over 280 genes are associated with one or more clinical forms of IRDs. It is necessary to understand the complex interaction among retinal cell types and pathogenic genes by constructing a regulatory network. In this study, we attempt to establish a panoramic expression view of the cooperative work in retinal cells to understand the clinical manifestations and pathogenic bases underlying IRDs. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data on the retinas from 35 retina samples of 3 species (human, mouse, and zebrafish) including 259,087 cells were adopted to perform a comparative analysis across species. Bioinformatic tools were used to conduct weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), single-cell regulatory network analysis, cell-cell communication analysis, and trajectory inference analysis. The cross-species comparison revealed shared or species-specific gene expression patterns at single-cell resolution, such as the stathmin family genes, which were highly expressed specifically in zebrafish Müller glias (MGs). Thirteen gene modules were identified, of which nine were associated with retinal cell types, and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment of module genes was consistent with cell-specific highly expressed genes. Many IRD genes were identified as hub genes and cell-specific regulons. Most IRDs, especially the retinitis pigmentosa (RP) genes, were enriched in rod-specific regulons. Integrated expression and transcription regulatory network genes, such as congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) genes GRK1, PDE6B, and TRPM1, showed cell-specific expression and transcription characteristics in either rods or bipolar cells (BCs). IRD genes showed evolutionary conservation (GNAT2, PDE6G, and SAG) and divergence (GNAT2, MT-ND4, and PDE6A) along the trajectory of photoreceptors (PRs) among species. In particular, the Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) gene OTX2 showed high expression at the beginning of the trajectory of both PRs and BCs. We identified molecular pathways and cell types closely connected with IRDs, bridging the gap between gene expression, genetics, and pathogenesis. The IRD genes enriched in cell-specific modules and regulons suggest that these diseases share common etiological bases. Overall, mining of interspecies transcriptome data reveals conserved transcriptomic features of retinas across species and promising applications in both normal retina anatomy and retina pathology.

“Sluts” and “Slaves”: The Internet and the Evolution of Fantasy in Dennis Cooper's Online Work

This article explores a yet unresearched part of Dennis Cooper’s production: his blog posts and, in particular, his “Sluts” and “Slaves” monthly posts, where he compiles explicit and sometimes sordid texts and images of gay sex workers apparently found online. First, this paper will situate these blog posts in the fields of citational and online literature, arguing that they are an example of ‘flarf’. In sodoing, it also extends the notion of “flarf” from poetry to narrative. Then, this paper explores the continuities and differences between the blog posts and Cooper’s other work, most notably The Sluts (2005), to argue that —while similar in their focus on the internet and “the impossibility of truth”— the blog posts present a significant transformation that compels readers to confront their own desires.

Experimental investigation on flexural behavior of prefabricated sandwich insulation wall panels with textile reinforced engineered cementitious composites as the wythes after freeze-thaw cycles

This paper proposes a novel prefabricated sandwich insulation wall panels (PSIWP) with textile reinforced engineered cementitious composites (TRE) as inner and outer wythes. A parametric analysis conducted using an experimental approach focuses on the influence of the freezing-thawing conditions, the freezing-thawing cycle times, the thickness of the TRE wythes, the type of the thermal insulation layer, the textile treatment methods and the thickness of the thermal insulation layer. The derivation of calculation formulas of fully composite and non-composite TRE-PSIWP, as well as the analysis of the composite degree of TRE-PSIWP were carried out based on the concrete bending capacity calculation formula. It was found that the flexural bearing capacity and the cooperative working performance of TRE-PSIWP weakened after the freeze-thaw cycles. On the contrary, the ductility of TRE-PSIWP increased after the freeze-thaw cycles. Increasing the thickness of thermal insulation layer and TRE wythes were contributed to improve the flexural bearing capacity of TRE-PSIWP. Treating the textiles with impregnation and sand burning was also contributed to improve the flexural bearing capacity of TRE-PSIWP. For different thermal insulation materials, the cooperative working performance of the TRE wythes and the expanded polystyrene board (EPS) was the best.

Making hybrid work for diverse staff in higher education: A behaviour change approach

AbstractDespite being considered the ‘new normal’ for many workers since the COVID‐19 pandemic, there is a dearth of applied research on hybrid working, especially in the context of inclusivity. This study uses the Behaviour Change Wheel to examine barriers, which hinder, and enablers, which help, to support hybrid working after the COVID‐19 pandemic and then identifies intervention strategies for its improvement. Data included 36 open‐ended questionnaires and 20 interviews from diverse (gender, sexual and ethnic identities; age; job role/grade scale; caregiving responsibilities and disability status) academic and professional staff at a large UK public research university, collected in May–July 2022. Barriers included the lack of technological skills, lack of clarity and application of the hybrid working policy, childcare and travel issues, no suitable space and equipment, managers' lack of understanding of specific needs, feeling lonely and isolated, and fears and uncertainty. Enablers included self‐management skills, purposeful office days, positive feelings, work/life balance, productivity and support from others. Issues related to equity and inclusivity were highlighted based on disability status, caregiving responsibilities, age and job role. Strategies are offered to improve hybrid working, such as training, organisational infrastructure and practices and policies to enable a collaborative, cooperative and inclusive hybrid work environment.

A multiple signal amplification photoelectrochemical biosensor based on biotin-avidin system for kanamycin sensing in fish and milk via synergism of g-C3N4 and Ru@SiO2

BackgroundThe residues of kanamycin can accumulate in the human body for a long time and pose serious health risks, including hearing loss, kidney poisoning, and drug allergic reactions. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a rapid, highly sensitive, and low-cost method for detecting kanamycin residues in foods. However, the current methods have limitations such as low sensitivity, expensive instruments, and multiple steps, which make them impractical for use in resource-limited environments and emergencies. In this study, the creation of a multiple-signal amplification photoelectrochemical biosensor to address these aforementioned issues is discussed. ResultsHerein, we proposed a multiple signal amplification photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on carboxylated g-C3N4 and avidin functionalized Ru@SiO2 for the ultrasensitive detection of kanamycin. The carboxylated g-C3N4 was a highly efficient photoactive substance for amplifying photoelectric signals and a substrate for aptamer immobilization. The DOS and PDOS of g-C3N4 were studied by simulation, and the sensing mechanism of the probe at the molecular level was revealed. Meanwhile, using Ru@SiO2 as a signal amplifying unit, through the cooperative work between Ru@SiO2 and g-C3N4, the photoelectric signal could be double amplified to produce an excellent photocurrent response. Under optimized conditions, the photocurrent response of the PEC biosensor to kanamycin was obtained at concentrations from 0.1 nM to 1000 nM with a lower detection limit of 4.1052 × 10−11 mol L−1. This protocol demonstrates high sensitivity, brilliant specific recognition ability, excellent reproducibility, and acceptable stability. SignificanceThe first combination of g-C3N4 and avidin-Ru@SiO2 as photocurrent materials greatly enhanced the sensitivity of the PEC biosensors. Moreover, the specificity and sensitivity of the PEC biosensor were further improved through the specific interaction between kanamycin and aptamer. The photoelectric conversion mechanism based on g-C3N4 and two pathways for enhancing the photocurrent by Ru(byp)32+ were proposed. Through simulations of the DOS and PDOS of g-C3N4, the sensing mechanism of the probe at the molecular level was revealed. Under the optimum conditions, the PEC biosensor exhibited a wide linear concentration range and a low detection limit.

The Bilateral Engagement of India and Pakistan at Shanghai Cooperation Organization: Prospects and Challenges

This article examines the complex relationship of Pakistan and India in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). It points out cooperation pathways through steady advances in economic and security sectors. New Delhi and Islamabad have entered a puzzling state of affairs where both work for regional cooperation with serious bilateral frictions. In this context, the emphasis lies in highlighting the SCO as a favored platform for mitigating the rift between India and Pakistan, following thorough assessments of various alternatives. The argument is developed on the conjecture that establishing cooperation between rival states sometimes seems impossible, yet governments could enter into cooperative relations and collaborate through institutions. The central research question revolves around understanding how the SCO alleviates tensions between Pakistan and India. It is discerned that the SCO’s gradual advances toward regional integration hold the potential to facilitate collaboration among member states. The study further examines various instances wherein India assumes responsible roles within the SCO, agreeing to take concerted actions for regional security and stability alongside other partners, including Pakistan.

Pluralising critical technical practice

In this special issue, we turn to ideas of and approaches to critical technical practices (CTPs) as entry points to doing critique and doing things critically in digitally mediated cultures and societies. We explore the pluralisation of ‘critical technical practice’, starting from its early formulations in the context of AI research and development (Agre, 1997a, 1997b) to the many ways in which it has resonated and been taken up by different publications, projects, groups, and communities of practice, and what is has come to mean. Agre defined CTP as a situational, practical, and constructive way of working: ‘a technical practice for which critical reflection upon the practice is part of the practice itself’ (1997a: XII). Communities of practice in which the notion has been adopted, adapted, and put to use range from human–computer interaction (HCI) to media art and pedagogy, from science and technology studies (STS) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) to digital humanities, media studies and data studies. This special issue affirms the pluralisation of CTP, and serves as an invitation to (re)consider what it means to use this notion drawing on a wider body of work, including beyond Agre. In this introduction, we review and discuss CTPs according to (1) Agre, (2) indexed research, and (3) contributors to this special issue. We conclude with some questions and considerations for those interested in working with this notion.

Influence of Cooperation Work on Management Continuity of Ambulatory Cardiovascular Care: A Cross-Sectional Exploratory Study in Germany

¬The Development of Student Collaboration Competency in Learning National Defense Path of the Vietnamese Communist Party

Cooperation competency is not only one of the many vital capabilities for people living in the modern day society, but also assists the formulation of an energetic, creative, communicative and adaptive personality. There has been ample evidence on the fact that studying with continuous cooperative work can promote the growth of working skills, which in turn creates opportunities for mutual learning and the discovery of personal abilities. Furthermore, cooperation also helps enhance the sense of responsibility, autonomy and social activeness. Through group work, people can take advantage of their strength in numbers to resolve complicated matters and achieve significant results. This proves the essential role of cooperation competency in creating an all-round personality and developing such traits in the contemporary society - this is the basis for academic achievement. This article defines the framework of students’ cooperation competency in learning National Defense and Security (NDS), investigates the ongoing situation of teaching National Defense Path of the Vietnamese Communist Party (VCP) and suggests several solutions to further boost this characteristic while studying these subjects in accordance with current requirements on reforming the education system of Vietnam.

Assessing the Level of Job Engagement among Employees in Major Municipalities in the Gaza Strip

The aim of this study was to explore the reality of Job engagement and its components (job involvement, job satisfaction, and job enthusiasm) from the perspective of employees in the major municipalities in the Gaza Strip. The descriptive-analytical approach was used, with a study population of 2,714 employees. The sample consisted of 336 employees selected through stratified random sampling. A questionnaire was used as a data collection tool, and 227 questionnaires were retrieved, representing 75.89% of the study sample. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software to obtain the results. The study revealed several findings, the most prominent of which was the presence of Job engegement in the major municipalities in the Gaza Strip at a high level, with a rate of 71.7%. The study recommended that municipal management involve employees in decision-making processes and encourage them to contribute ideas and suggestions that contribute to work development through various competitions. It also recommended that municipal management pay more attention to the work environment, create a well-prepared environment, provide financial incentives in addition to motivational incentives, and provide opportunities for employees to attend training courses to enhance job satisfaction. Furthermore, the study emphasized the importance of addressing the psychological aspects of employees by designing stimulating programs aimed at increasing enthusiasm and dedication to work, as well as promoting cooperative work through organizing informative and educational seminars to ensure the continuous provision of services to the community.

Experimental and numerical research on the lateral behaviour of glued timber frame structures with and without X-type diagonal bracing

The advanced processing technology of glued wood can provide strong support for the construction and application of the modern timber structures. The modern timber structure can meet the requirements of low-carbon development goals and natural living standards, but there still exist some technical difficulties to research, such as seismic performance and design code problems. Hence, this paper presents the lateral behaviour of glued timber frame structures with and without X-type diagonal bracing by experimental and numerical research methods based on these problems. Two single-layer single-span bare glued-laminated timber (GLT) frame specimens and two GLT frames infilled with X-type diagonal bracing specimens with a 1:1.5 scale were designed to investigate the lateral behaviours under the cyclic loading tests. Three types of beam-column joint connectors (the exposed type with infilled steel plate, the coated type with infilled steel plate and the extended coated type with infilled steel plate) were designed to guarantee the effective connection between components. The failure mode, hysteretic characteristics, lateral load-bearing capacity, stiffness degradation, deformation and the lateral load resistance cooperative working mechanism between X-type diagonal bracing and GLT frame of specimens were analyzed. The test results present that the lateral behaviour of the GLT frame is significantly improved after being infilled with the X-shaped diagonal bracing, and the yield lateral load-bearing capacity and the elastic stiffness of the coated type beam-column joint connection in the GLT frame were 1.876 and 1.36 times than that of the specimen with exposed type beam-column joint connection, respectively. The beam-column joint of the bare GLT frame specimen is failure before the column-base joint. The diagonal bracing joints of the GLT frame specimen infilled with the X-shaped bracing were failures first, and then the beam-column and the column-base joints of the GLT frame were damaged. For the specimen infilled with the X-type diagonal bracing, the lateral resistance load was borne by the GLT frame and diagonal bracing, in which the percentage of the lateral load borne by the diagonal brace gradually decreases, while the percentage of the lateral load borne by the GLT frame gradually increases. In addition, the load-deformation relationships of the specimen joints were derived. Based on these relationships, the numerical analysis of the specimen was carried out to study the influences of GLT frame span-depth ratio, the slenderness ratio of GLT diagonal bracing and the wall thickness of steel tube diagonal bracing on the lateral resistance of this structural system.

Looking at the impact of digital revolution in school education: considerations and insights

Aim. The necessary renewal of teaching methods and school practices must take into consideration the technologies of the new generations of students, for whom the supremacy of the book and of the alphabetic writing is no longer given for certain. The presence of digital natives paves the way for educators to increase the digital awareness of young people, primarily through the definition of the terms of a new digital literacy. The reflection on the experiences of applying Web 2.0 tools to the educational context highlights the growing importance of participatory culture and informal learning.
 Methods. An important role is played by an updated use of constructivist and connectivist pedagogical perspectives. Training courses are considered for the person of the e-learning tutor. Among the specific objectives we have the diffusion of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC), the deepening of Web 2.0 environments, the introduction of cooperative work and constructivist management methods of online interaction, the use of moderation techniques in e-learning environment. These objectives refer to the context of teaching, staff training and school organisation.
 Results. The collected results are processed using computerised statistical and text analysis systems, which highlight the most central themes and the most evident correlations between the emerging evidence. People who follow training courses of this type show greater awareness of the use and usefulness of technologies. They acquire awareness of the challenges posed by the growth of the young generation of digital natives, in terms of activating a new digital literacy.
 Conclusions. The research also highlights the difficulties and disappointments encountered in dealing with users and with the school authority. Attending training courses of this type significantly underlines the existence of two distinct fundamental methods of approaching the introduction of new media: one of technologising type, in which technologies are seen indicatively as an end, and one of culturalising type, in which technologies are seen as a means.

COOPERATION BETWEEN SPECIALISTS WHILE PROVIDING PSYCHO-PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT TO CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDS

The planning of cooperative work in the process of providing psycho-pedagogical support to children with special educational needs, as well as the detection, study, assessment, prevention and modern professional interventions are among the important issues, which justify the importance of collaboration between psycho-pedagogical support team members while providing support in different settings to learners with different needs. The planning of cooperative work with children with special educational needs is a very responsible and important process, in this case, the cooperation of specialists considered to be a point of interest, as well as the direct connection of the specialist with the relatives and parents of the child.
 As such, there is a few literatures on collaborative work between specialists providing psycho-pedagogical support to children with special educational needs, and there is no any representing the situation in Armenia or presented in Armenian language literature as such, despite the fact that in various developmental centers, public schools and regional psycho-pedagogical support centers, they are already trying to collaborate and make the work process more structured.
 Within the frame of this study observation and literature review as research methodology are used to understand the main gaps and challenges of cooperative work between specialists while providing psycho-pedagogical support to children with special education needs.

Readability of Reading Texts for EFL Students at Al-Baha University

Reading is an important skill for EFL university students, as it reinforces their critical and analytical thinking. EFL university students rely on reading texts to expand their knowledge of the outside world and enhance their memory functions, enabling them to use the target language more effectively. EFL instructors depend on the reading texts as the basis for curricular and extracurricular activities to enhance their learners' language skills, enabling them to use the language in everyday situations. Therefore, selecting suitable English textbooks with appropriate reading texts is crucial for students' achievement and progress. Research in the areas of readability of textbooks and reading texts is very important to assess the appropriateness of different texts for learners. Many readability studies have focused on examining the suitability of readability formulas for measuring the readability level of texts provided to learners. This study measured the readability level of the reading texts of Evolve 4 special edition (published by Cambridge University Press) offered to EFL university students using online digital software that utilizes a set of the most commonly used readability formulas, including the Flesch Reading Ease Formula, Gunning Fog index, and Coleman Liau index. This study also used a set of cloze tests administered to female EFL university students, designed by the researcher to measure the readability level of the reading texts and provide suggestions and recommendations for EFL instructors who teach the textbook at the university level. The findings of this study show that the readability level of the reading texts in the English book Evolve 4 special edition is fairly challenging for EFL university students, as measured by a set of readability instruments. Consequently, the study recommends that EFL instructors should utilize a diverse set of teaching strategies and cooperative work methods to help their students read and understand the reading texts in Evolve 4 special edition. Moreover, EFL instructors should take into account significant factors that can affect the readability of English reading texts, such as learners' interest, prior background, style of the text, and the content itself. These considerations should guide instructors in tailoring their approach to maximize student learning outcomes.

University and local recyclable material cooperative – building bridges around e-waste

Abstract An e-waste outreach project was developed with two overriding goals: (1) to strengthen the partnership between the university and the local recyclable material cooperative, which has been carrying out actions aimed at supporting the work of the Cooperative, and (2) to collaborate in the expansion of environmental education activities in the process of social and economic insertion of collectors and the reduction of environmental impacts. During this process, the materials and corresponding activities related to the theoretical and practical course followed by the cooperative workers were developed by a transversal team of (under)graduate students, faculty, and staff from the Chemistry, Electric Engineering, and Public Administration areas. In addition, social media materials were created to sensibilize and engage the university community regarding effective e-waste awareness, to adhere to the voluntary drop-off point of e-waste collection, and to address the issues that can affect our environment and health if e-waste is sent to landfills. It was an example of how chemistry contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals through an outreach project.
