Characteristics of Instruments and Profile of Creative Thinking Ability of Students on Work and Energy Material

Physics learning in secondary schools requires students to achieve learning objectives in developing conceptual skills and creative thinking by studying every problem that occurs in life using the concept of physics. However, the fact is that the physics material taught rarely relates the content of the lesson to everyday life, the lesson is mostly filled with convergent so that creative thinking skills cannot be measured. This study aims to apply the developed instrument and obtain empirical data on the validity of the instrument as well as a profile picture of students' creative thinking abilities. This study uses the ADDIE model with 5 stages, namely analysis, design, develop, implement, and evaluate. The test subjects in this study were 34 students of class X UMIPA 2 at MAN 1 Bojonegoro. The results of the development obtained 10 items of instruments that have been validated by 3 lecturers of physicists. Empirical validity was analyzed using Microsoft Excel software. Based on the data from the validity test results that have been analyzed, it shows that the instrument that has been developed is theoretically valid with an average V Aiken value in the material, construction and language domains, respectively 0.91; 0.91; and 0.87. The results of instrument validation are also declared empirically valid by having values: (a) Empirical validation of items with an rxy value range of 0.34 to 0.64; (b) The reliability of the instrument obtained an r11 value of 0.564 with a sufficient category, (c) The difficulty level of the instrument questions was 30% of the questions in the medium category and 70% of the questions in the easy category, (d) The discriminatory power of the instrument had 10% good questions, 40% enough questions, and 50% of the questions are not good. Creative thinking skills in students have a medium to very high category.

Analysis of Floating Offshore Wind Platform Hydrodynamics Using Underwater SPIV: A Review

There is a need for new numerical tools to capture the physics of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) more accurately to refine engineering designs and reduce costs. The conventional measurement apparatuses in tank tests, including wave probes, velocity and current profilers, and Doppler sensors, are unable to provide a full 3D picture of velocity, pressure, turbulence, and vorticity profile. In tank tests, use of the underwater stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) method to fully characterise the 3D flow field around floating wind platforms can overcome some of the limitations associated with classical measurement techniques and provide a rich source of validation data to advance high-fidelity numerical tools. The underwater SPIV method has been widely used for marine and offshore applications, including ship and propeller wakes, wave dynamics, and tidal stream turbines; however, to date, this technology has not seen widespread use for the hydrodynamic study of FOWTs. This paper provides a critical review of the suitability of underwater SPIV for analysing the hydrodynamics of FOWTs, reviews the challenges of using the method for FOWT tank test applications, and discusses the contributions the method can make to mitigating current research gaps in FOWT tank tests.

An Enhanced Understanding of Culture-Negative Periprosthetic Joint Infection with Next-Generation Sequencing: A Multicenter Study.

The challenges of culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) have led to the emergence of molecular methods of pathogen identification, including next-generation sequencing (NGS). While its increased sensitivity compared with traditional culture techniques is well documented, it is not fully known which organisms could be expected to be detected with use of NGS. The aim of this study was to describe the NGS profile of culture-negative PJI. Patients undergoing revision hip or knee arthroplasty from June 2016 to August 2020 at 14 institutions were prospectively recruited. Patients meeting International Consensus Meeting (ICM) criteria for PJI were included in this study. Intraoperative samples were obtained and concurrently sent for both routine culture and NGS. Patients for whom NGS was positive and standard culture was negative were included in our analysis. The overall cohort included 301 patients who met the ICM criteria for PJI. Of these patients, 85 (28.2%) were culture-negative. A pathogen could be identified by NGS in 56 (65.9%) of these culture-negative patients. Seventeen species were identified as common based on a study-wide incidence threshold of 5%. NGS revealed a polymicrobial infection in 91.1% of culture-negative PJI cases, with the set of common species contributing to 82.4% of polymicrobial profiles. Escherichia coli, Cutibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Staphylococcus aureus ranked highest in terms of incidence and study-wide mean relative abundance and were most frequently the dominant organism when occurring in polymicrobial infections. NGS provides a more comprehensive picture of the microbial profile of infection that is often missed by traditional culture. Examining the profile of PJI in a multicenter cohort using NGS, this study demonstrated that approximately two-thirds of culture-negative PJIs had identifiable opportunistically pathogenic organisms, and furthermore, the majority of infections were polymicrobial.

Factors Affecting Physicians' Credibility on Twitter When Sharing Health Information: Online Experimental Study.

Largely absent from research on how users appraise the credibility of professionals as sources for the information they find on social media is work investigating factors shaping credibility within a specific profession, such as physicians. We address debates about how physicians can show their credibility on social media depending on whether they employ a formal or casual appearance in their profile picture. Using prominence-interpretation theory, we posit that formal appearance will affect perceived credibility based on users' social context-specifically, whether they have a regular health care provider. For this experiment, we recruited 205 social media users using Amazon Mechanical Turk. We asked participants if they had a regular health care provider and then randomly assigned them to read 1 of 3 Twitter posts that varied only in the profile picture of the physician offering health advice. Next, we tasked participants with assessing the credibility of the physician and their likelihood of engaging with the tweet and the physician on Twitter. We used path analysis to assess whether participants having a regular health care provider impacted how the profile picture affected their ratings of the physician's credibility and their likelihood to engage with the tweet and physician on Twitter. We found that the profile picture of a physician posting health advice in either formal or casual attire did not elicit significant differences in credibility, with ratings comparable to those having no profile image. Among participants assigned the formal appearance condition, those with a regular provider rated the physician higher on a credibility than those without, which led to stronger intentions to engage with the tweet and physician. The findings add to existing research by showing how the social context of information seeking on social media shapes the credibility of a given professional. Practical implications for professionals engaging with the public on social media and combating false information include moving past debates about casual versus formal appearances and toward identifying ways to segment audiences based on factors like their backgrounds (eg, experiences with health care providers).

Effect of a mixture of pyrethroids at doses similar to human exposure through food in the Indian context.

Residual amounts of pyrethroids were detected in rice and vegetables of the Indian market. Thus, consumers are exposed to a mixture of pyrethroids on a daily basis through food. Though a large number of studies reported the toxic effects of pyrethroids, there are no reports that used doses equivalent to human consumption. In this study, male Wistar rats were exposed daily to a mixture of pyrethroids for 1-15 months which is equivalent to the amount present in rice and vegetables consumed by an average Indian each day. The oxidant-antioxidant status (lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide; activities of catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S transferase, and superoxide dismutase) and anatomical changes in the general organs (liver, lung, and kidney) and male reproductive tract tissues (caput, cauda, testis, and prostate) were evaluated. Further, liver and kidney function tests, lipid profile, and complete blood picture were analyzed. Increased oxidative stress, perturbations in the antioxidant enzyme activities, and damage to the anatomical architecture were observed. Disturbances in the liver function and lipid profile were significant. Results of our study demonstrate that exposure to a mixture of pyrethroids at a dose that is equivalent to human consumption can cause systemic and reproductive toxicity, which may ultimately result in the development of lifestyle diseases. This first line of evidence will fuel further studies to determine the impact of food-based pyrethroid exposure on the long-term health of humans and to envisage policies to reduce pesticide content in food products.

How sharing is the "sharing economy"? Evidence from 97 Airbnb markets.

Digital platforms such as Airbnb have become a major economic and political force in recent years, presenting themselves as a “sharing economy”–a new, more just way of organizing social and economic activity–while functioning as owners and managers of proprietary markets. These platforms have in recent years been subject to variegated but growing regulations, begging questions of how these affect their platform markets. This paper examines these claims by a large-scale international comparative analysis of the revenue distribution of Airbnb markets in 97 cities and regions, focusing on the level and evolution of revenue inequality, and estimating the racial and gender revenue gaps by using machine learning classification of host profile pictures. Examining 834,722 listings, 513,785 hosts, and 13,466,854 reviews, the paper finds an average Gini coefficient of 0.68, implying that a majority of the market revenue tends to go to about 10% of the hosts. The level of centralization varies significantly across cities, but is consistently growing over time, with government regulation appearing as a counteracting factor, which however only temporarily slows down the growing dominance of a small minority of large-scale hosts. The paper furthermore finds large gender and race revenue gaps, as Black hosts receive on average 22% less revenue for their listings, and women an average of 12% less. These findings contribute important data to ongoing academic and policy debates, as well as a starting point for further research on inequality in the sharing economy, and how it can be regulated.

Balanced Nutritional Knowledge Profile and Stress Factors for Karawang Health Science Students during Pandemic

In 2020, mankind is faced with a pandemic problem. If preventive efforts have been made and the covid-19 virus still infected humans, the last step that can be done against the virus is human immunity. So, efforts to increase immunity need to be done, especially during the pandemic. Immunity is related to optimum nutrition. However, optimal nutrition will not be achieved if the related factors are not achieved as well. Therefore, researchers were interested in conducting research to see the knowledge profile of balanced nutritions and stress level as one of the factors in achieving best nutrition during the pandemic. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge profile of balanced nutrition and stress levels with a sample of health science students at Unsika (Singaperbangsa Karawang University) during the pandemic. This analysis design was a combination of quantitative and qualitative exploration. It was determined purposively and conducted in November-December 2020. From the results of the inquiry, it is known that the profile picture of balanced nutrition knowledge during the pandemic of Unsika Students; 35% of respondents had less intelligence, 61% of the survey participants had moderate insight, and only 4% had a good one. Based on this experiment, it is also known that students got a lot of information from the internet (websites/ articles/ popular social media). An overview of the stress level of Unsika Students; were 35% of respondents at normal stress level, 14% of the samples had mid stress stage, 27% considered as moderate stress phase, 20% included in severe stress class, and 4% got very heavy stress one. The causes of the stress during the pandemic included a slumping economic situation, due to task deadlines and lack of understanding of learning materials, loneliness, boredom, fear of infection of the virus and other personal reasons.

No Cameras, No Problem: Creating an Inclusive Research-Driven Classroom Environment Using Student-Generated Avatars.

ABSTRACTStudent involvement in distance education has continued to increase over the last decade and has been accelerated by the unplanned transition to remote instruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Empirical data demonstrate variable levels of student learning and engagement in such environments, including limited use of technologies (e.g., laptop cameras) to interact with peers and course instructors. Consequently, creating accessible and inclusive virtual learning contexts that best promote collaboration and success – whether in lecture or laboratory spaces – can be a challenge. To address these concerns, we developed and evaluated the Researcher Avatar (RA) activity, a brief exercise designed to provide students with the opportunity to depict and describe their identity as a scientific researcher through creation of an avatar. Students then made use of their avatars as their profile pictures on the course videoconferencing platform throughout the duration of the term. Participants (N = 24) who completed the RA activity as part of an online Research Foundations Course at our institution developed avatars that included both stereotypical imagery of scientists (e.g., lab coat) and personal attributes intended to reflect their dedication to science, collegiality, and future career interests. Collectively, participants reported that the activity was valuable in allowing them to “see” and get to know their classmates while likewise offering them the chance to reflect on their own goals as a researcher.

Characteristics of stochastic Langmuir wave structures in presence of Itô sense

This article focuses on the new wave structures for the system of equations for the ion sound and Langmuir waves (ISALWs) in plasma via stochastic sense. Namely, we consider this model damped by noises in Itô sense. The new presented stochastic solutions investigated the change of frequencies by noise term in nonlinear process that may be produced in many nonlinear wave applications. With the aid of Matlab release, some profile pictures were designed to illustrate the behavior of these solutions. These wave picture may controlled by noise term in Itô sense effects which gives new information’s for the system of equations for the ion sound and Langmuir waves in physics applications.

Morphometric analysis of pre and post operative facial angles following rhinoplasty

Facial aesthetic surgery requires a thorough preoperative analysis of face and identification of problems to frame a comprehensive surgical plan. The conceptions of an attractive face must be analyzed beforehand. Powell and Humphrey had defined facial angles and had formulated range which would be perceived as attractive.To compare the change in pre- and post-operative nasolabial, nasofrontal and nasofacial angles in patients undergoing Rhinoplasty.A prospective observational study was conducted from October 2014 to October 2019 in ENT department of a tertiary care hospital. Twenty-one patients undergoing Rhinoplasty and fulfilling the inclusion criteria were considered as study population. Their pre- and post-operative profile photographs were taken for morphometric analysis. The nasolabial, nasofrontal and nasofacial angles were measured and compared, before and one month after the surgery in profile pictures.A significant change in the nasolabial and nasofacial angles were seen following Rhinoplasty. The mean nasofrontal angle showed an increase following Rhinoplasty but was not found significant.Rhinoplasty results in significant change in nasofacial and nasolabial angles and in expert hands, is expected to restore the various facial angles to their acceptable range.

CHARACTER EDUCATION IN INDONESIA: HOW IS IT INTERNALIZED AND IMPLEMENTED IN VIRTUAL LEARNING?

Character education is an essential component in directing students to become complete human beings, namely human beings who are cognitively smart, emotionally intelligent, and able to actualize the values of goodness in social life. As currently learning is done virtually, character education is facing obstacles. This research uses mixed methods with sequential mixed methods strategy and sequential explanatory techniques. The research data were obtained through questionnaires filled out by elementary, middle, and high school teachers who participated in the e-workshop on developing the internalization of character values. 576 teachers filled out the research questionnaire. The collected data were then tabulated and analyzed to get a profile picture of the internalization and implementation of character education carried out by the teachers. The results showed that off the three ways used by to implement character education; habituation, integration, and emulation, only one of them is applied by teachers in schools. In addition, teachers experience difficulties in internalizing and implementing character values when learning is done virtually. This is due to the absence of physical meetings between teachers and students. In fact, it is understood that the internalization process plays an important role in the implementation of character values.

Safety profile of MenB-FHBp vaccine among adolescents: data from surveillance of Adverse Events Following Immunization in Puglia (Italy), 2018–2020

ABSTRACT MenB-FHBp was licensed in Europe in 2017 from the age of 10. In the “postmarketing life” of a new vaccine, surveillance of Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) is crucial, to better understand the pattern of safety and the effectiveness. This paper describes the MenB-FHBp AEFIs notified in Puglia in 2018–2021, to take a picture of the safety profile of this vaccine in the real life, four years after its introduction in Italy. This is a retrospective observational study. Data were collected from the list of AEFIs notified after MenB-FHBp vaccine administration in Puglia in 2018–2020, and the number of doses of this vaccine administered in the same period. AEFIs were classified according to WHOʻs algorithm, and causality assessment was carried out for serious AEFIs. From January 2018 to December 2020, in Puglia, 43,061 doses of MenB-FHBp were administered and 42 MenB-FHBp AEFIs (reporting rate: 97.5 per 100,000 doses administered) were reported. Among these, 12 were classified as severe (28.6%; reporting rate 27.9 per 100,000 doses). Overall, the male/female ratio in AEFIs was 1:1. The median age of people who suffered from AEFIs was 12 years (range 11–13). For the 11 serious AEFIs for which the classification was “consistent causal association,” the diagnosis was hyperpyrexia (reporting rate 13.9 per 100,000 doses), fainting (rate 4.6 per 100,000 doses), urticaria (rate 2,3 per 100,000 doses), convulsions (rate 2,3 per 100,000 doses), and vomit (rate 2,3 per 100,000 doses). No deaths or impairment were notified in studied AEFIs. The picture of MenB-FHBp vaccine supports that the risk of AEFIs is in line with previous published data and in general acceptable.

‘I don’t think my torso is anything to write home about’: men’s reflexive production of ‘authentic’ photos for online dating platforms

ABSTRACT This paper explores men’s use of dating apps with an emergent body image focus, addressing cisgender, heterosexual men’s feelings about dating app profile pictures. Drawing from interviews with 15 cisgender, heterosexual men residing in Australia about their use of dating applications including Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble, this paper examines how cisgender, heterosexual men construct their dating app profile pictures, and the decisions they make about the content of images they use for dating profile pictures. Utilizing concepts of self-presentation, authenticity, and bodily reflexive practices, this paper argues that the men in the study are attempting to present authentic and real selves in a dating world, while being confronted by concerns regarding body image and perceptions of ideal bodies. They also demonstrate conflicting desires to appear more muscular, fit, and athletic while not presenting as vain or narcissistic. In the process of creating profiles, these men develop a sense of self drawing on understandings of masculinity and specifically notions of idealized male bodies, which simultaneously run counter to the very authentic images of the self they seek to present.

Clinical and psychological assessment of the variability of schizotypal personality disorder in children and adolescents

To analyze the variability of violations of cognitive and emotional-personal parameters in schizotypal disorder (STD) in children and adolescents according to the pathopsychological profile. 47 patients with STD were examined, 21 of them with psychopathic variant (F21.4), 16 with neurotic (F21.3) and 10 with personality schizotypal disorder (F21.8) aged 9 to 16 years (37 boys and 10 girls). All patients were examined in detail by a psychiatrist and clinical psychologists. The method of integrative assessment of the pathopsychological profile was used, including the assessment of the presence and severity of impairments in cognitive functioning, emotional-personal and motivational-volitional spheres (the assessment was carried out according to detailed psychological reports). Mathematical processing of the obtained data was carried out. Cluster analysis of clinical and psychological indicators showed that patients differ in the level of intellectual impairment, as well as in the characteristics of motivational-volitional and personal spheres. Three clusters are described, two of which included patients (10 and 31 patients) with individual variants of STD with a greater severity of various cognitive deficits, and parameters of the emotional and personal sphere, the last cluster included 6 patients with personality variants of STD. A separate largest cluster included all three analyzed variants of STD in approximately equal proportions, with a mildly pronounced intellectual decline and more noticeable changes (deficiency) in the emotional and personal sphere. Thus, patients with STD differ in the severity and structure of deficient changes. At the same time, the nature and degree of involvement of a particular area in the overall picture of the pathopsychological profile is of great importance. Patients with STD differ in the severity and structure of deficient changes. The identified clusters differed in age, in the presence of patients of both sexes, and in various indicators of the pathopsychological profile. At the same time, the nature and degree of involvement of a particular area in the overall picture of the pathopsychological profile is important for diagnosis.

Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism by Schneur Zalman Newfield, and: Hidden Heretics: Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age by Ayala Fader

In the Spring of 2020, Netflix released UnOrthodox, the dramatic retelling of Deborah Feldman's exit from Hasidic Brooklyn. In a matter of weeks, Esty, played by Shira Haas (who has been nominated for a Golden Globe for this role), left her family, her home, her religious observance, her wig, and her clothing as she became an ostensibly secular woman in Berlin. This version of Feldman's story obfuscates the years that she spent trying to live within a religious context, despite her misgivings, and as such, the Netflix version reinforces a popular image of leaving a religious community as both abrupt and final. In two recent books, Ayala Fader and Schneur Zalman Newfield present meticulous social science research that complicates the dominant understandings about those who leave ultra-Orthodox Judaism. Fader and Newfield present nuanced characterizations of their research subjects and about the many ways people struggle with their religious identity. Degrees of Separation draws on interviews with 74 Hasidic ultra-Orthodox Jews who have left their religious communities. Newfield uses the term "exiters," or often refers to his research subjects by the religious affiliation of their youth: Lubavitch or Satmar. These terms reflect Newfield's broader claims about exiting as a process that is ongoing and religious identity as being constantly renegotiated. He writes, "Exiting is an ongoing process of becoming" (4). Elsewhere he refers to exiting as "residing in a liminal state for a prolonged period of time" (30). In Hidden Heretics, Fader presents an ethnographic account of 24 "double lifers," those who practice ultra-Orthodoxy in public (and at home) but violate commandments in secret due to their doubt about the veracity of the religious claims that underlie them. Fader focuses on individuals who have experienced "life changing doubt" but remain significantly tied to their ultra-Orthodox community. These individuals refer to themselves as "hidden heretics," which leads to the title of [End Page 99] Fader's book and reflects their own attempts to keep their double lives secret from their families and their communities (2). Taken together, Newfield and Fader demonstrate that religious identity is not a clear category that can be easily discarded. While one might be tempted to see these two books as existing along a continuum of leaving a religious community, Fader and Newfield reject any classification that indicates an evolution among their research subjects toward secularization. Fader explains that for those in her book, "there were more incremental changes over the years, a process of making ethical compromises … but ultimately remaining in their ultra-Orthodox communities" (14). Fader brilliantly traces how double-lifers are simultaneously engaged with the ultra-Orthodox and secular worlds. First, a young man or woman (often a man, married with a few young children) might begin to question some of the tenets of their religious faith. With access to the internet through a smartphone or a computer, that individual can find the Jewish blogosphere. Fader explains that, beginning in 2002–2003, the Jblogosphere "gave anonymous public voice to a range of private, interior life-changing doubt" (32). These blogs are produced by other hidden heretics who use familiar language and concepts while producing an ultra-Orthodox counterpublic, ultimately threatening rabbinic authority offline. Someone experiencing doubt may comment on these blogs and eventually move over to private Facebook or Whatsapp groups. Hiding behind profile pictures that obscure their true identities but indicate a shift away from ultra-Orthodox norms of facial hair or hair covering, an individual experiencing life-changing doubt may ultimately begin meeting others who share their concerns. Fader's rich ethnographic research allows readers to see how these individuals gather with each other at a...

Nanotechnological tweaking for textile industrial dye stress on floras

In current scenario, one of the biggest sources of pollution is textile dye and increasing day by day. Textile dye imposes the problems of phytotoxicity in the vegetation grown in nearby areas. The waste water of textile industry is analysed by measuring their physiochemical parameters, that shows the whole picture of water profile. A wide range of toxic compounds for instance, heavy metals dyes, toxic chemicals, acids and alkalis are reported which are released in textile businesses, which are known to be poisonous. Different studies on the dye's physico-chemical characteristics manufacturing effluents, and their effect on growth of plants and seed germination, are critically analysed in this review. We have investigated the consequence of textile dye effluent stress on the phyto-availability of contaminants to the plants. There are very less research studies on the utilization of nanotechnology for the mitigation of phytotoxicity induced by industrial dye effluent. This review is the first attempt to gather these papers as there has never been a study like it. The current review analyses the effect of nanoparticles on plant growth during textile dye stress. It also explains why nanoparticles have become a popular desalination technology and it also faces the environmental challenges for the protection of plants. Over and above the challenges and future prospects of the nanotechnological interventions for phytotoxicity removal are discussed to lighten the paths for further studies.

Biotolerance Study of the Hydroalcoholic Extract of <i>Terminalia mantaly</i> H. Perrier on Rat Renal Activity

Terminalia mantaly H. Perrier is one of the plants of the Combretaceae family that is widely used in traditional African medicine for its antibacterial, antifungal, and especially in the treatment of malaria. In this study, we evaluated the effect of the hydroalcoholic extract of Terminalia mantaly (HAETM) on the tissue and kidney biochemical markers of rats. Forty (40) rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, assigning 10 animals within each group (5 males and 5 females per group). Animals in group 1 received distilled water and were used as the control group; on the other hand, groups 2, 3, 4 received by gavage a volume of the extract corresponding to 1 ml/100g body weight at 150 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg, 600 mg/kg, respectively. The hydroalcoholic extract was administered at the same time daily for 28 days, and blood was collected once a week to evaluate renal biochemical parameters; the kidney tissues were used to perform the histopathological study. The creatinine rate increased significantly (p Terminalia mantaly should be globally well tolerated by the body when used in doses ranging from 150 to 600 mg/kg of the body weight in animals (for this study, rats). However, further in-depth studies would be needed to get a more thorough and complete picture of the safety profile of the extract.

New solutions for perturbed chiral nonlinear Schrödinger equation

<abstract><p>In this article, we extract stochastic solutions for the perturbed chiral nonlinear Schrödinger equation (PCNLSE) forced by multiplicative noise in Itô sense with the aid of exp$ [-\varphi(\xi)] $-expansion and unified solver methods. The PCNLSE meditate on the quantum behaviour, like quantum features are closely related to its particular features. The proposed techniques introduce the closed form structure of waves in explicit form. The behaviour of the gained solutions are of qualitatively different nature, based on the physical parameters. The acquired solutions are extremely viable in nonlinear optics, superfluid, plasma physics, electromagnetism, nuclear physics, industrial studies and in many other applied sciences. We also illustrate the profile pictures of some acquired solutions to show the physical dynamical representation of them, utilizing Matlab release. The proposed techniques in this article can be implemented to other complex equations arising in applied sciences.</p></abstract>
