English Teachers' Reflections and Lessons Learned in Language Teaching During COVID-19 Pandemic

This study seeks to find out the English teachers' reflections and lessons learned in language teaching during the pandemic. The method used was a guided narrative frame in which the teachers from the suburban wrote down their feelings and lived experiences. The data was analysed using thematic analysis and presented in themes. The findings indicate that the teachers found it challenging at the beginning of their online teaching. Both the teachers and students faced problems including economic situations, tech problems and mental struggles. Interestingly, this finding is similar to the outskirt teachers and students' problems. Besides, the teachers have learned the most vital things during their language teaching in the early year of the pandemic. They continuously shift their teaching strategies, provide personalised feedback to support the students' engagement, and become adaptable teacher-learners.  Suggestions are provided for both teachers and policymakers

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE LEVEL AND THE INCIDENCE OF SEAFOOD POISONING IN THE ISLAND REGION IN 2020

Seafood is a term for food in the form of marine animals and plants that are caught, fished, taken from the sea or cultivated.  Society is a set of human beings who due to the demands of needs and influence certain  beliefs, thoughts, and ambitions are united in collective life.  The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between knowledge levels and the incidence of seafood poisoning in the archipelago in 2020. This study uses a correlational descriptive research design with the approach used is cross sectional.  The sampling technique used is Non probability sampling, namely 49 communities in the working area of the Tembeling Health Center, Bintan Regency. Data collection is carried out by distributing questionnaires. Data analysis using Univariate and Bivariate analysis. The results showed that the majority of people had gained knowledge about seafood poisoning as much as 70% and almost some people had never experienced the incidence of seafood poisoning, namely as much as (55%). The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and the incidence of seafood poisoning  = 0.002. The results of this study concluded that the more ever and higher in obtaining public knowledge, the better it will be in preventing the occurrence of seafood poisoning

The Diversity of Macroscopic Fungi in the Education Forest of University of Sumatera Utara, Tongkoh Village, Karo District, North Sumatra Province

The research of the diversity of macroscopic fungi in Education Forest of University of North Sumatra has never been reported. The research has been conducted at altitude: < 1000 m above sea level; 1000 – 1500 m above sea level; and ≥ 1500 m above sea level, on five different trail on each altitude category. The length of observation trail is 100 m. The first trail on each altitude category is determined with purpossive sampling method, then the next trail was determined with systematic sampling method. The observation and the collection of species has done exploratively in the plot sampling, size 20 m x 20 m. The results showed that was found 45 species of macroscopic fungi which consist of 2 divisions, 4 classes, 10 orders, and 19 families, where numbers of species of macroscopic fungi was found on each of altitude category consecutively 30 species; 42 species; and 32 species. The macroscopic fungi was found commonly living on the decayed wood and litter, and then a part of living on the living wood

Experimental models for the study of neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease of unknown cause, characterized by the selective and progressive death of both upper and lower motoneurons, leading to a progressive paralysis. Experimental animal models of the disease may provide knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms and allow the design and testing of therapeutic strategies, provided that they mimic as close as possible the symptoms and temporal progression of the human disease. The principal hypotheses proposed to explain the mechanisms of motoneuron degeneration have been studied mostly in models in vitro, such as primary cultures of fetal motoneurons, organotypic cultures of spinal cord sections from postnatal rodents and the motoneuron-like hybridoma cell line NSC-34. However, these models are flawed in the sense that they do not allow a direct correlation between motoneuron death and its physical consequences like paralysis. In vivo, the most widely used model is the transgenic mouse that bears a human mutant superoxide dismutase 1, the only known cause of ALS. The major disadvantage of this model is that it represents about 2%–3% of human ALS. In addition, there is a growing concern on the accuracy of these transgenic models and the extrapolations of the findings made in these animals to the clinics. Models of spontaneous motoneuron disease, like the wobbler and pmn mice, have been used aiming to understand the basic cellular mechanisms of motoneuron diseases, but these abnormalities are probably different from those occurring in ALS. Therefore, the design and testing of in vivo models of sporadic ALS, which accounts for >90% of the disease, is necessary. The main models of this type are based on the excitotoxic death of spinal motoneurons and might be useful even when there is no definitive demonstration that excitotoxicity is a cause of human ALS. Despite their difficulties, these models offer the best possibility to establish valid correlations between cellular alterations and motor behavior, although improvements are still necessary in order to produce a reliable and integrative model that accurately reproduces the cellular mechanisms of motoneuron degeneration in ALS

COVID-19 attributed mortality and ambient temperature: a global ecological study using a two-stage regression model

A negative correlation between ambient temperature and COVID-19 mortality has been observed. However, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has reinforced the importance of government interventions and warned countries against relaxing control measures due to warmer temperatures. Further understanding of this relationship is needed to help plan vaccination campaigns opportunely. Using a two-stage regression model, we conducted cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses to evaluate the association between monthly ambient temperature lagged by one month with the COVID-19 number of deaths and the probability of high-level of COVID-19 mortality in 150 countries during time t = 60, 90, and 120 days since the onset. First, we computed a log-linear regression to predict the pre-COVID-19 respiratory disease mortality to homogenize the baseline disease burden within countries. Second, we employed negative binomial and logistic regressions to analyze the linkage between the ambient temperature and our outcomes, adjusting by pre-COVID-19 respiratory disease mortality rate, among other factors. The increase of one Celsius degree in ambient temperature decreases the incidence of COVID-19 deaths (IRR = 0.93; SE: 0.026, p-value<0.001) and the probability of high-level COVID-19 mortality (OR = 0.96; SE: 0.019; p-value<0.001) over time. High-income countries from the northern hemisphere had lower temperatures and were most affected by pre-COVID respiratory disease mortality and COVID-19 mortality. This study provides a global perspective corroborating the negative association between COVID-19 mortality and ambient temperature. Our longitudinal findings support the statement made by the WMO. Effective, opportune, and sustained reaction from countries can help capitalize on higher temperatures’ protective role including the timely rollout of vaccination campaigns
