One trust's rationale for choosing a lubrication gel for use in catheterisation
Authors: Payne Drew , Kerrigan Peta
Published: October 2020

Current NHS policy is to reduce the number of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). To achieve this, guidance suggests reducing the use of catheterisation as much as possible. For those patients requiring catheterisation, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NNUH) ensured that a medicinal anaesthetic, antiseptic lubricant containing chlorhexidine and lidocaine was used for all catheterisations. Between 2011 and 2018 the Trust reduced CAUTIs by around 50%. This article discusses catheterisation, national policy in reducing CAUTIs, and how NNUH achieved this reduction.
Influence of sparse constraint functions on compressive holographic tomography

Published: October 2020

In this paper, we quantified and analyzed the impact of the

l

norm and total variation (TV) norm sparse constraints on the reconstruction quality under different interlayer spacings, sampling rates, and signal-to-noise ratios. For high-quality holograms, the results of compressive-sensing reconstruction using

l
1

norm achieved higher quality than those by the TV norm. In contrast, for low-quality holograms, the quality of TV-norm-based reconstruction results was relatively stable and better than that of

l

norm. In addition, we explained why interlayer spacing cannot be smaller and recommend the use of axial resolution of the digital holography system as the interlayer spacing. The conclusions are valuable in the choice of sparse constraints in compressive holographic tomography.
Design of a broadband single mode hybrid plasmonic waveguide incorporating silicon nanowire
Authors: Hasan K. B. M. Rakib , Islam Md. Asiful , Alam M. Shah
Published: October 2020

In this work, a graphene hybrid plasmonic waveguide has been studied employing the finite element method. The graphene layers have been exploited here as optical absorber layers to extinguish the undesired plasmon modes in our system. Also, the silicon nanowires in our design, have been utilized to form a hybrid plasmon waveguide in order to achieve a high figure of merit of the desired plasmon mode. The multiwavelength operability and performance variation with respect to the alteration of waveguide cross-section are investigated here to demonstrate its high promise in broadband single mode operation, design of mode division multiplexing nanoplasmonic systems, and highly compact photonic integration. Furthermore, the effect of graphene’s optical anisotropy on waveguiding is explored here to predict the device performance more realistically.

Condições de trabalho no início da docência: elementos constituintes e repercussões no desenvolvimento profissional
Authors: Rigolon Walkiria de Oliveira , Príncepe Lisandra , Pereira Rodnei
Published: October 2020

Este ensaio tem como objetivo problematizar a relação entre condição de trabalho e inserção profissional, considerando que os elementos que constituem as condições de trabalho docente podem repercutir negativamente no desenvolvimento profissional, necessitando serem levados em consideração quando se investiga o fenômeno da evasão e do abandono da carreira, em especial pelos professores iniciantes. Partindo do princípio de que a carreira é um processo de marcação e de incorporação dos indivíduos às práticas e rotinas institucionalizadas das equipes de trabalho, que depende de condições positivas para se consolidar e que é por meio da estruturação da carreira que se manifestam as condições objetivas do trabalho docente, são apontados neste ensaio alguns elementos que compõem a carreira docente, considerados fundantes para a compreensão do desenvolvimento profissional: a) as formas de contratação, b) as jornadas de trabalho, c) o número de alunos por turma, de turmas e de escolas em que o professor iniciante leciona, d) os tempos e espaços de formação ofertados pelas instituições, e) os apoios ofertados a esses profissionais. Defendemos que qualquer análise que se pretenda fazer sobre a inserção profissional na carreira docente precisa contemplar as inúmeras clivagens que incidem diretamente nas relações de trabalho e que adensam ainda mais as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos que começam a exercer o trabalho docente.
„Kódexem, kódexem, mondd meg nékem...” Etikaikódex-fejlesztési folyamat egy magyar egyetemen
Authors: Csillag Sára , Géring Zsuzsanna , Győri Zsuzsanna , Szegedi Krisztina
Published: October 2020

Az üzleti etika és a vállalati felelősségvállalás szakirodalmában számos kutatás foglalkozik azzal, hogy a vállalatok milyen céllal és milyen módon fejlesztenek olyan etikai vagy magatartási kódexeket, amelyek orientálhatják, támogathatják a belső és külső érintetteket az etikailag kérdéses helyzetekben. De meglepően kevés elméleti és gyakorlati munka foglalkozik azzal, hogy a jővőbeli üzleti szereplőket oktató üzleti iskolák és általában az egyetemek hogyan alakítják intézményi, szervezeti gyakorlatukat, ezen belül miért és hogyan fejlesztenek és vezetnek be etikai kódexeket. Ebben az írásban a szerzők bemutatják és elemzik az etikai kódex érintetti bevonáson alapuló fejlesztési folyamatát egy, jelentős részben gazdálkodástudományi képzést folytató magyar egyetemen (a Budapesti Gazdasági Egyetemen), különös tekintettel az alkalmazott módszerek és eszközök előnyeire és hátrányaira, illetve az érintettek bevonásának fontosságára. Azt gondolják, hogy a fejlesztési folyamat érdekes tanulási pontokat kínálhat azoknak a nagy szervezeteknek és kifejezetten az egyetemeknek, akik etikai intézményrendszerüket fejleszteni szeretnék.
A technológia használatának segítő tényezői idős korban
Authors: Kenesei Zsófia
Published: October 2020

Az idősödő társadalmakban egyre jelentősebb kérdés, hogy milyen módon lehet segíteni az idősödés folyamatát, hogyan lehet az idősödő emberek életminőségét fenntartani. Az idősek életminőségének javításában – sok más mellett – a technológiai innovációk is nagy szerepet játszhatnak. A cikk célja, hogy megvizsgálja azokat a tényezőket, amelyek elősegíthetik az idős emberek számára a technológia, jelen esetben az internet használatát, és rámutasson, mire kell figyelni, hogy ők is élvezhessék az internet nyújtotta előnyöket. A kutatás során 60 év fölötti internethasználókat kerestünk meg kérdőíves megkérdezéssel annak érdekében, hogy azonosítani lehessen azokat a változókat, amelyek támogatják, vagy éppen akadályozzák az internet használatát. Az eredmények alapján elmondható, hogy az „akadálymentesített” és elérhető internet kiemelkedően fontos az internet elfogadásában és hosszú távú használatában. Ezen kívül előmozdítja az elfogadást, ha az idős használó felfedezi, hogy az internet segítheti a társas kapcsolatok fenntartásában és egyfajta szórakozási lehetőséget is biztosít számára.
Nők a startup-vállalkozások világában Magyarországon
Authors: Kézai Petra Kinga , Konczosné Szombathelyi Márta
Published: October 2020

A női vállalkozók száma az elmúlt három évtizedben a legtöbb országban jelentősen megnőtt, ezáltal élénkebb gazdaságokat indukálva. Számos tanulmány vizsgálja külön a női vállalkozókat és külön a startupokat, de a női startupok témája kevésbé kutatott terület. Jelen kutatás a női startupperekre fókuszál: egyrészt a nők szerepének a feltárásával a startupok világában, másrészt a mai magyar startup-ökoszisztémán belül átfogó képet adva a női vállalkozók helyzetéről, működésüket befolyásoló tényezőkről. A tanulmányban kevert módszertant alkalmaztak a szerzők: online kérdőív startup témájú országos zárt közösségimédia-csoportokban (n=113) és mélyinterjúk a magyar startup-ökoszisztéma nyugat-dunántúli régióban tevékenykedő szakértői és tagjai körében (n=7). A kutatás eredményeképpen megállapítható a tőkehiány: a vizsgált hazai startupok többnyire saját tőkét használnak fel vállalkozásuk indításánál, a kockázatitőke-befektetés nem jellemző. Feltárják továbbá a startup vállalkozások korlátozó tényezőit, kiemelten a női startuppereket gátló komplex tényezőket, amelyek jellemzően családi és társadalmi okokra vezethetők vissza.

Authors: Ali Banaz Jabbar , Alwan Alyamama Mahmood , Ali Chinar Jabbar
Published: October 2020

Objectives: To evaluate the type of “periodontal treatment” performed by general dental practitioners and the referral patterns of periodontists in Iraq. Material and methods: A total of 201 general dentists were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire consisting of nine questions regarding periodontal treatment and the referral patterns of periodontists. Results: The study showed that 91.1% of general dental practitioners (GDPs) performed “phase-I therapy”, and most of them done “scaling”. Regarding surgical periodontal therapy, only 12.9% of them performed surgical periodontal therapy, half of the GDPs did gingivectomy, and less than 30% performed crown lengthening. When evaluating maintenance therapy after periodontal treatment, it was found that 77.9% of the GDPs scheduled appointments for patients in the maintenance phase, 49.4% of them after one month, 24.7% after three months, and 15.6% after six months. Using TRUF analysis, most general dentists believed that the patient and periodontal factors were responsible for the recurrence of periodontal disease. Conclusions: There is still a lack of awareness of periodontal surgical procedures among the “general dental practitioners”. Thus, it is essential to increase the comprehension of periodontal treatment among general dentists.KEYWORDS Periodontal treatment; Phase-I therapy; Surgical periodontal treatment; General dental practitioner; Referral pattern Attitude.

Published: October 2020

Objective: The use of medicinal plants may be an alternative method for the control of Candida spp. responsible for human infections. This study evaluated the antifungal effect of Schinus terebinthifolius extract (Brazilian Peppertree) on C. albicans, C. dubliniensis, C. glabrata, and C. krusei planktonic cultures and biofilms. Material and Methods: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungal concentration (MFC) of the plant extract were determined by the broth microdilution method. Biofilms formed in microplate wells were exposed to the extract for 5 min (50, 100 and 200 mg/mL) or 24 h (25, 50 and 100 mg/mL). After determination of colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL), the data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s Test (P ? 0.05). Results: Different MIC (mg/mL) were found, such as 0.39 (C. dubliniensis), 1.56 (C. albicans), and 3.13 (C. glabrata and C. krusei). Besides, MFC (mg/mL) of 0.78 (C. dubliniensis) and 3.13 (C. albicans, C. glabrata and C. krusei) were also observed. Regarding the biofilms, significant reductions (log10) were found after 5 min and 24 h exposure to the plant extract, compared to the control group. However, C. dubliniensis was significantly affected only in 24 h treatment. Conclusion: S. terebinthifolius extract presented a significant antifungal effect on C. albicans, C. dubliniensis, C. glabrata, and C. Krusei both in planktonic cultures and biofilms.
Apical extrusion of bacteria following the use of reciprocating single-file and rotary multi-file instrumentation systems in oval root canals
Authors: Kurnaz Safa , Bag Irem , Gulbandilar Aysel
Published: October 2020

Objective: All instrumentation techniques and instruments are associated with apical extrusion during chemomechanical preparation, and this causes postoperative pain and flare-up. However, it is controversial whether reciprocal systems or rotary systems cause more apical extrusion. The objective of this in vitro study was to determine the differences in the amounts of apically extruded bacteria (AEB) associated with nickel-titanium rotary and reciprocating systems when used in oval-shaped root canals. Material and Methods: Seventy human mandibular premolar teeth with oval-shaped canals were randomly assigned to four experimental groups (15 teeth in each group) and one control group (10 teeth). The root canals were contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis and instrumented using two full-sequence rotary instruments (ProTaper Universal [PTU] and ProTaper Next [PTN]) and two reciprocating single-file instruments (Reciproc [R] and WaveOne [WO]). A 0.9% NaCl solution was used as an irrigant, and the bacterial extrusion was quantified as the number of colony-forming units for each sample. The results were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance and the Mann-Whitney U test, and the statistical significance level was set at p <0.05. Results: The R system was associated with the highest amount of bacterial extrusion (p <0.05). The PTU system caused more bacterial extrusion than the PTN and WO systems (p <0.05). There was no significant difference between the PTN and WO systems (p >0.05). Conclusions: All instrumentation techniques caused apical bacterial extrusion. The instrument design and preparation techniques affect the number of extruded bacteria.KEYWORDS Apical extrusion; Bacteria; Endodontics; Root canal preparation.
Integrating Genomics Into Clinical Practice in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: The Challenges Ahead
Authors: Pillai Anjana , Ahn Joseph , Kulik Laura
Published: October 2020

The incidence and mortality related to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continue to increase in the United States, with most patients presenting at advanced stages where curative therapy and long-term survival is unlikely. Fortunately, significant progress has been made in identifying the landscape of HCC mutations due to advances in whole genome expression profiling. Drug development has also evolved in recent years with multiple first- and second-line systemic chemotherapy agents approved for HCC for the first time in over a decade. However, despite advances in molecular profiling, mutations that were identified at the highest frequency were not amenable to drug development, and curative therapy for advanced HCC remains elusive. This review focuses on the current understanding of HCC genomics and the limitations of translating the current HCC molecular profiling into clinical practice and examines the effectiveness and benefits of approved systemic therapies for advanced HCC.

Who Improves Most? The Differences in First-Year Students’ Learning Attitudes and Behaviors Measured by College Success Factor Index
Authors: Krsmanovic Masha , Cox Thomas D. , Johnson Jamil D.
Published: October 2020

Utilizing a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research design, this study investigated the impacts of participation in a First-Year Seminar (FYS) course on student learning attitudes and behaviors. Using the sample of 1,231 freshmen students in a large, public, research university in the Southeast, the study examined if FYS participation promoted students learning attitudes and behaviors in the following ten areas: responsibility, competition, task-planning, expectation, wellness, time-management, college involvement, family involvement, precision, and persistence. Additionally, the study tested for the differences in changes of students learning attitudes and behaviors among five student populations enrolled in the seminar: first-time in college, summer bridge, international, out-of-state, and teacher pre-professionals. Hotelling's T2  test revealed statistically significant differences in learning attitudes and behaviors between pre and posttests for each of the 10 measured factors, while a two-way mixed design MANOVA indicated that changes in students’ learning attitudes and behaviors were not significantly different for any of the factors depending on the subgroup. The lack of between-group differences demonstrated that the FYS course participation was equally beneficial for students from all populations examined in the study.

Authors: Kanık Uysal Pınar , Duman Asiye
Published: October 2020

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Fluency-Oriented Reading Instruction on reading skills. The study group consisted of fifth-grade students. The quasi-experimental pretest-posttest comparison group design was used in the present study and a twenty-week study program was carried out. In the experimental intervention process, the Fluency-Oriented Reading Instruction method, which is a classroom-based approach for students at different reading levels involving the collective use of multiple reading fluency methods and applications for the whole class, was applied to the experimental group. “Error Analysis Inventory”, “Reading Prosody Rubric”and, "Reading Comprehension Test" were used as data collection tools, "Personal Information Form" was used to determine demographic features, and “Self, Peer and Group Assessment Forms” were used for the students to assess themselves and their peers. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used in the analysis of the data obtained in the study. While the findings obtained revealed significant differences in favor of the experimental group in the students' narrative and informative text reading speed, reading prosody and reading comprehension scores, no significant difference was found between the experimental group and the control groups in terms of word recognition levels. The findings obtained from the present study have shown that Fluency-Oriented Reading Instruction, which is carried out with reader’s theater, paired reading, model reading with audiobooks and home reading, affects the reading performances of students.

Application of a Floss Band at Differing Pressure Levels: Effects at the Ankle Joint
Authors: Galis Jakub , Cooper Darren J.
Published: October 2020

Galis, J and Cooper, DJ. Application of a floss band at differing pressure levels: Effects at the ankle joint. J Strength Cond Res 36(9): 2454–2460, 2022—The study aimed to examine the effects of different levels of pressure on ankle range of motion (ROM), strength, and power performance. A parallel-group design was used, and subjects were divided into 3 groups. After a warm-up and preintervention testing (ankle goniometry using a manual handheld goniometer and isokinetic dynamometry using a HUMAC NORM isokinetic dynamometer), subjects had underwrap (control) or a tissue flossing band, at 150 mm Hg (FLOSS150) or 200 mm Hg (FLOSS200) applied to one of their calves, followed by postintervention testing. Thirty university students participated and completed the testing in a university laboratory: dorsiflexion ROM (DFROM) and plantarflexion ROM (PFROM), peak torque, and power. A repeated-measures analysis of variance with Tukey post hoc showed no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) preintervention to postintervention between each group, except for DFROM in FLOSS150 (p < 0.05). Medium and small effect sizes preintervention to postintervention were associated with improvements of DFROM (0.61; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.39–0.83) and dorsiflexion power (0.29; 95% CI −0.13 to 0.72), respectively, in FLOSS150, while the effect size of PFROM preintervention to postintervention was −0.35 (95% CI −0.85 to 0.15) in FLOSS200. Tissue flossing of the ankle joint may be a useful intervention for increasing dorsiflexion ROM and power, which can be useful for injury prevention, enhancing performance and improving functional ability; however, the potentially harmful effects of the technique should be considered.
Little, Maybe Less
Authors: Stout Daniel M.
Published: October 2020

Daniel M. Stout, “Little, Maybe Less: Little Dorrit’s Minimal Moralia” (pp. 207–238)

Against our ordinary ways of reading the novel, this essay argues that Charles Dickens’s Little Dorrit (1857) represents a stark refusal of the logics of accountability that necessarily underwrite any program of social reform. In pairing its critique of Circumlocution (which programmatically undervalues desert) with its critique of the Marshalsea (which programmatically overstates debt), the novel points not toward a future of happy proportionality—in which innovation might be meaningfully recognized and infractions responded to humanely—but toward a way of thinking that stands outside the liberal logics of exchange (of action and consequence, of sin and redemption, of debt and repayment) that animate both social critique and social reform. Rather than a reformist text, Little Dorrit’s horizon is a world beyond good and evil—or, as we might also call it, after liberalism.

Authors: CANBAZ Mustafa , ÇEVİK Emre
Published: October 2020

Following the financial crisis in 2001, Turkish banking sector started a ‘restructuring’ process. This led to recovery of the damage caused by the crisis and, despite the significant decrease in number of the banks, the banking sector gained quite a sound structure. This imrpovement allowed it to remain strong against the global financial crisis that took place after 2007 and caused important progress for many financial indicators, in particular the deposits and loans. Interest- free banking, which has been operating in form of participation bank through the profit and loss sharing system since 2005, become a competitor, in a different aspect, to deposit banks, an important part of the conventional banking. This study compares attitudes of the Participation Banks and the Deposit Banks against their customers before and after the crisis, in light of the financial indicators from the financial statements. The analysis concludes that Particpiation Banksa re significantly different from Deposit Bank in aspect of 'acticity ratios', which are based on the main areas of activity.
FINDING CAUSAL CONNECTION BETWEEN ASBESTOS AND MESOTHELIOMA IN THE UK TORT LAW
Authors: Karnaukh Bohdan
Published: October 2020

It has been proven by medical science that asbestos fibers are carcinogenic and can cause mesothelioma. Consequently, from the standpoint of tort law a person suffering from mesothelioma should be entitled to claim compensation from the one who exposed this person to asbestos dust. However things are not as straightforward as it may seem at first glance. The aim of the paper is to track the development of case law and statutory law of the United Kingdom regarding the compensation of damage caused by asbestos-related mesothelioma. The survey of UK law is conducted within the methodology of comparative law studies. In addition elements of law and economics approach are also used in the article. The conclusion is made that the peculiarities of mesothelioma pathogenesis call for revision of conventional approach to proof of causation in tort law.

Published: October 2020

A brief overview of the biography and scientific achievements of Anatoliy Shcherbukha — a prominent Ukrainian zoologist, museologist, collector, fish expert, developer of the Ukrainian fish nomenclature, and promoter of science. Biographical information reconstructed from a personal file found in the archives of the National Museum of Natural History NAS of Ukraine (NMNH), as well as some scientific works of the researcher are presented. An overview of his works, both articles and monographs, including reference books, scientific monographs, popular science publications, catalogues, textbooks, and identification keys is given. The entire creative path of the researcher was connected with the academic Zoological Museum, which was alternately part of the Institute of Zoology and the Central Museum of Natural History, NAS of Ukraine. The researcher went from a scientist who studied the fish fauna of a small river Psel to a prominent expert of the fish fauna of all types of water bodies of Ukraine, both natural and artificial, fresh and marine waters, aboriginal and alien components of fauna, rare and industrial fish species. The researcher's achievements in the development and approval of the Ukrainian nomenclature of fishes are also significant, including the definition of the central role of genus names, from which the names of both species and families and other taxa are formed. The zoological collection of the NMNH contains more than 2,000 fish specimens of 59 species collected by A. Shcherbukha. The researcher paid much attention to the promotion of scientific knowledge and authored two popular publications on fishes, each of which was republished. The five most cited works of the researcher are the monograph "Percomorpha" in the series "Fauna of Ukraine" (1982), the catalogue of NMNH collections "Lampreys and Fishes" (2003), the popular science book "Fishes of Our Waters" (1987), the scientific article “Fish fauna of Ukraine in retrospective and modern problems of its diversity conservation” (2004), and the reference book “The Ukrainian Nomenclature of Fishes of Ukraine” (2003). The last work of the researcher was "Key to Fishes of Continental Waters and Streams of Ukraine" written in collaboration with colleagues from other institutions (2020).

The aim of this paper is to preserve the originality of the art form. The recent trends of consumerism, market and selling attitude have made this art a maidservant of the moneyed people. The selling of art and modifying it is not bad but it should not affect the creativity of the people. Due to the contemporary styles the real essence of this folk art is disappearing which in turn is also depleting the values associated with it. A serious thought is urgently required before the traditional creativity and values are drained out to nothing. NGO professionals, researchers, folk artists, and people concerned all should take concrete steps and the appropriate measures to retain this art in its originality because it’s a legacy being passed down from generations.

Published: October 2020

The present study focuses on the impact of teachers using traditional method and ICT tools on the academic achievement of the students, attitude of the students towards the subject chemistry, attitude of the students towards the use of ICT tools in teaching learning of Chemistry and the impact of the ICT tools on the written communication skills of the students. ICT tools in the present study may be understood as the application of digital equipment to all aspects of teaching and learning. Thus, the components of ICT would be video tapes, audio tapes, CDs, DVDs, television broadcast, video cassettes; computer-based learning materials, teleconferencing, video conferencing, internet, web conferencing etc. Sample for the present study comprised of students of 4 sections of class XII Science enrolled in Jamia Senior Secondary School and Syed Abid Hussain Senior Secondary School. As random assignment of subjects to control and Experimental Groups has not been applied, the present study is Quasi Experimental in nature. Of the many quasi experimental designs, Pretest- Posttest non-equivalent Groups Design was employed for the present study. The following tools were used for attaining the objectives of the study: Attitude Scales: a) Five point Likert scale for measuring Impact of ICT tools on the attitude of students towards chemistry (ATCS) b) Five point Likert scale for measuring Impact of ICT tools on the attitude of student towards the use of ICT tools in teaching learning of chemistry (ATIS). In accordance with the objectives of the study, the obtained data was analyzed using specific statistical techniques, which include computation of mean, S.D, t-test, ANCOVA (analysis of covariance). It was found from the study that traditional method must be used along with suitable ICT tool which may help in improving the teaching learning process and increasing the comprehensibility of the subject Chemistry. Thus, it was inferred that the use of ICT tools in the teaching learning of Chemistry has a positive impact on academic achievement, attitude and communication skills of the students.

The purpose of this paper is to point out the key challenges faced by school students. In line with this aim the researcher has done a thematic research methodology, through personal experiences from childhood, working as a school advisor and reviewing literatures to collect detailed information concerning school student’s challenges. After finding the valid sources the researcher has found that the most worrying challenges are sexual abuses by elder students and gangsters, conflict on the way of school, long distance to get to the school, gender discrimination between boys and girls in the families, bombing and attacks on schools, poverty, bulling and teasing, Case of (Afghanistan). Furthermore, overcrowded classrooms, poor equipment’s and lack of experienced teachers regarding recognition of the specific talents of different students and failing them in exams are another challenges on the way of school students. Moreover, illiteracy of parents and lack of help regarding their homework’s, family conflicts and it is effects on the child are part of difficulties faced by school students. Also, climate change, cultural differences, loneliness and communication problems are another uphill’s for migrant students in international schools in a foreign country, case of foregone students in (India). Likewise, lack of school opportunity, misguidance some of students with encouraging them to join to insurgent groups, and discrimination against illegal migrant families, case of 300 million Afghanistanian illegal migrants in Iran and Pakistan with no educational opportunities. In addition, physical punishment, religious discrimination and lack of free of thought against students of minorities are some big barriers on the way of studying in schools, case of (Iran). Finding also showed that smart phones and computers cause some of the students to waste their study time on playing games and face time management problem. Finally, carrying on offensive guns and using drags by some students which effects other students psychologically and increase the possibility of violence are the most serious challenges faced by school students. However, as it is such an international problem, for solution, the five multilateral institutions which are the key international stakeholders in the EFA movement: UNESCO, UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF and the World Bank, should take action against the above mentioned challenges. In the Indian context too similar challenges are daunting the Indian education sector. This paper attempts to highlight such challenges and ways of managing them from the perspective of the above mentioned key international stakeholders.

Frutos de mango de cultivares Tommy Atkins y Keith fueron colectados en diferentes bloques de la Finca Manga Rica, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, a lo largo del ciclo de desarrollo durante la temporada 2008-2009. Aproximadamente cada 15 días, a los frutos colectados se les midió su ancho y largo, peso fresco y seco y se analizó la concentración de nutrimentos. Se determinó que el fruto presenta 2 fases de desarrollo, una de expansión, que abarca desde el inicio hasta los 79 días después de floración en Tommy Atkins y hasta los 93 días para Keith, y otra posterior de llenado. Se obtuvieron las curvas de absorción para macro y microelementos y se detalla información para adaptarlas a diferentes localidades. Se determinó que cada kg de fruta fresca de Tommy Atkins y Keith, respectivamente, consume 1,54 y 1,59 g de K; 1,07 y 1,06 g de N; 0,20 y 0,12 g de P; 0,29 y 0,14 g de Ca; 0,19 y 0,15 g de Mg; 0,07 y 0,09 g de S; 8,5 y 2,5 mg de Fe; 3,5 y 2,1 mg de Mn; 0,7 y 1,6 mg de B; 1,2 y 0,97 mg de Zn; y 1,1 y 0,9 mg de Cu. Se sugieren etapas adecuadas para realizar fertilizaciones foliares y se encontró que algunos elementos no deben aplicarse simultáneamente, por posibles antagonismos. Para obtener frutos de Tommy Atkins con peso fresco entre 400 y 500 g se debe cosechar cuando el diámetro fluctúe entre 8,7 y 9,0 cm, o el largo entre 10,7 y 11,2 cm. Para obtener frutos de Keith con un peso entre 600 y 750 g, se debe colectar cuando el diámetro varíe entre 9,4 y 9,8 cm o el largo entre 13,5 y 14,0 cm, según el análisis de regresión.
Evaluación agronómica y nutricional del pasto Ryegrass perenne tetraploide (Lolium perenne) producido en lecherías de las zonas altas de Costa Rica. I. Producción de biomasa y fenología
Authors: Villalobos Luis , Sánchez Jorge Ml.
Published: October 2020

Se evaluó la producción de biomasa y la fenología del pasto ryegrass perenne tetraploide (Lolium perenne) a lo largo de un año en muestreos bimensuales, en 4 fincas comerciales de ganado lechero ubicadas en Chicuá de Oreamuno (latitud 09°59', longitud 83°52', altitud 3090 msnm), provincia de Cartago. La disponibilidad de materia seca pre y pos-pastoreo, el aprovechamiento por hectárea y su porcentaje de utilización promedio para todas las fincas fueron 4110, 2276 y 1833 kg.ha-1 por corte y 44,82%, respectivamente. La edad fenológica y la relación hoja: tallo promedio de las pasturas de ryegrass perenne fueron 2,84 hojas verdes por rebrote, 56:44. Asimismo, la composición promedio de la pradera fue 76,09% ryegrass, 13,76% otras gramíneas (principalmente pasto kikuyo), 6,02% trébol, 1,25% malezas y 2,88% material senescente, respectivamente. La mayor producción de biomasa durante marzo y abril puede conservarse para utilizarse durante las épocas críticas de disponibilidad de forraje o cuando por razones climatológicas se reduce el número de horas efectivas de pastoreo. La evaluación de la edad fenológica en que se pastorea el pasto ryegrass perenne, indica que las fincas en la zona de estudio utilizan esta gramínea en un estado en el que sus reservas de carbohidratos se han recuperado, lo que permite obtener una producción de biomasa y valor nutricional adecuados para satisfacer las necesidades del ganado lechero de la zona.

La composición mineralógica de la fracción arcilla en suelos cultivados con banano en las 11 cuencas hidrográficas de las llanuras aluviales del Caribe de Costa Rica, se caracterizó mediante difractometría de rayos X y métodos de disolución. Los resultados corroboran la presencia abundante de montmorrillonita, metahaloisita, vermiculita y plagioclasas; y con menor frecuencia otros minerales como alófana, gibbsita y óxidos como hematita, maghemita y magnetita. No se detectaron cloritas, aunque si algunos indicios de illita. Por métodos químicos y estequiométricos se logró identificar la existencia de materiales amorfos, probablemente tipo alófanas, en un suelo de la cuenca del Tortuguero (RE-16). En los suelos ubicados al noroeste de la subcuenca conformada por los ríos Vueltas, Silencio y Parismina, clasificados como Inceptisoles con propiedades ándicas (Andic Eutrudepts, Aquandic Endoaquepts), Inceptisoles Dístricos (Fluventic Dystrudepts) y Andisoles (Typic Hapludands), se encontraron predominantemente metahaloisitas y montmorrillonitas. En los suelos del sureste de esta subcuenca, en donde predominan Inceptisoles éutricos de origen aluvial (Fluventic Eutrudepts, Dystric Fluventic Eutrudepts, Fluvaquentic Eutrudepts, Fluventic Endoaquepts) e Inceptisoles con problemas de drenaje (Fluventic Endoaquepts, Fluvaquentic Epiaquepts), se identificaron montmorrillonitas, vermiculitas y metahaloisitas. Las montmorillonitas, vermiculitas y alófanas tienen su origen por herencia a partir de material parental y se presentan en la zona por arrastre desde las cordilleras Central y de Talamanca; las metahaloisitas tienen su origen por herencia y trasformación a partir de haloisitas y la gibbsita por transformación a partir de materiales alofánicos.

Con el objetivo de evaluar el efecto de la temperatura del agua y el tiempo de inmersión sobre la secreción de látex por la corona de gajos recién conformados de frutos de banano, se realizaron 2 experimentos con racimos de 12 semanas de edad (floración-cosecha) del cv. Valery (Musa AAA, subgrupo Cavendish). En el experimento 1 se evaluaron 4 temperaturas del agua: 25, 35, 45 y 55°C y, 4 tiempos de inmersión: 5, 10, 15 y 20 min en conjunto con un tratamiento testigo comercial. En el experimento 2 se evaluó unicamente la temperatura del agua a 45°C y 2 tiempos de inmersión: 10 y 20 min. En este experimento se incluyó un tratamiento testigo comercial (frutos tomados de la línea de empaque de la finca) y otro tratamiento testigo conformado por frutos cuyos gajos fueron empacados inmediatamente después de la separación del racimo (testigo absoluto). En ambos experimentos la inmersión de los frutos en agua caliente se realizó inmediatamente después que las manos fueron seccionadas del racimo y conformadas en gajos. En ambos experimentos no hubo maduración prematura durante el periodo de simulación de transporte que fue de 15 días. En el experimento 1 los tratamientos expuestos a 55°C, presentaron daño severo de quemadura en la cáscara. En el experimento 2 no se afectó la firmeza (p > 0,2685), aunque hubo diferencias estadísticas en el color de la cáscara (p < 0,0145) y en los sólidos solubles (p > 0,0001). El tratamiento de inmersión de 45°C por 10 min demostró que puede ser tan efectivo en la remoción del látex de la corona de gajos recién conformados de frutos de banano como el tratamiento comercial, basado en la inmersión sucesiva de los frutos en depósitos de agua circulante y la posterior aplicación de fungicidas y cicatrizantes.
