L'analyse est complétée par un certain nombre d'études de cas nationales qui décrivent et évaluent les politiques et les programmes introduits au cours des dernières années pour renforcer et améliorer les systèmes d'apprentissage dans l'économie informelle. Les résultats visent à améliorer la compréhension de ce système de formation complexe, hétérogène et pourtant autonome dans l'économie informelle, en vue d’une discussion factuelle et d'un dialogue politique entre les mandants de l'OIT et au-delà.
Metaverse to foster learning in higher education
Authors: De Matías Batalla David , Bueno Pedrero Ana
Published: August 2023

This research refers to the new information and communication technologies that have emerged in recent years and that are being used in education as a pedagogical resource. Thus, Metaverse have been applied in universities obtaining great benefits such as improving interaction and communication between students and teachers through personalized avatars regardless of the physical limitations of the real world, developing skills and abilities that encourage learning and immersion, leaving aside the traditionalist learning. The use of Metaverse in education aims to make the student the protagonist of his or her own learning and, in addition, seeks to improve collaborative learning to encourage active participation among students through the interaction of avatars within the Metaverse. As a practical alternative and an emerging trend, the tool “AltspaceVR” is proposed for higher education. The sample of this study consisted of 159 graduates between the ages of 18 and 35 who were pursuing their doctoral, bachelor’s, master’s or other studies, and 7 experts working as teachers in Spanish universities, including a doctor in educational methodologies who has been named “Professor of the Year” on several occasions. Among the main conclusions of the study we have obtained that students consider that the implementation of Metaverse in higher education will promote learning and immersion, allowing the development of pedagogical activities in a more innovative and interactive way thanks to its graphical interface. On the other hand, from the results of the survey we conclude that the teacher lacks knowledge to make adequate use of Metaverse as a pedagogical resource, using only two-dimensional and mainly verbal platforms that only generate a traditionalist and non-interactive learning.

Published: August 2023

There has been a significant change in the way organizations are structured and run during the last few decades. Technological advancements and talent variety have made a modern workplace with connected skill sets and workflows possible. The dynamics that affect team results must therefore be understood by organizations in order for them to succeed in the modern business world. This study of 100 managers from the same organization reveals that while female managers are more prone to groupthink than male managers, they also have better communication abilities. Additionally, 200 employees from this company were surveyed, and the findings revealed that female employees contribute more to the success of the team than male employees do. Researchers, managers, and human resources professionals should consider these implications. Keywords: Employees Limitations, Survey of teams, Pragmatic Implications and Recommendations

Authors: Shrestha Narayan
Published: August 2023

Ecopreneurship is the process of using entrepreneurial skills and innovation to create sustainable solutions for environmental and social issues. It is a way to foster economic growth and peace through sustainable practices. Ecopreneurship can be used to promote sustainable development, alleviate poverty, and create employment opportunities. Ecopreneurship is a combination of two words ‘ecological (eco)’and ‘entrepreneurship’. Entrepreneurship is a part of the economy that is demanded in modern open economies. Structural changes in society are needed for the creation of entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship and more, particularly ecopreneurship, are essential to drive the sustainable transitions needed in educational sectors. Existing pedagogic frameworks should address these academic disciplines and they should be embedded in the educational curricula. The aim of this conceptual paper is to consider pedagogic and program design. This makes this paper of particular interest for academia, educational policymakers and education industry support sectors alike. An existing university that has both a student enterprise and ecopreneurship program and an established educational business incubator and accelerator is used as a case study to provide insight into how progress from ideation to commercialization can be more readily supported in a university setting. From a pedagogical perspective, it helps to develop new conceptual, methodological, and theoretically underpinned spiral pedagogies to teach and support colleges and universities as to how to exploit and take advantage of entrepreneurial and ecopreneur business opportunities. Ecopreneurship relates to environmentally friendly ways of doing business through school education systems. Key Words: Ecopreneurship, Transformation, Environment degradation, School Education

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common gynaecological disorder among reproductive-age women. Impaired metabolism of androgens and estrogens is one of the leading causes of PCOS. In India, medicinal herbs are being explored for their anti-androgenic and anti-estrogenic properties. In this study, we have screened the seed extracts of the herbal plant, Caesalpinia bonducella for potent inhibitors of estrogen and testosterone biosynthesis and assimilation. Methanol extract of C. bonducella seed kernels were subjected to gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to identify the phytochemical constituents. Out of forty-three phytochemical compounds identified from the extract, eight compounds were selected based on Lipinski's rule of five for molecular docking. The selected phytochemical compounds were docked against specific targets of ovarian steroidogenesis pathway; human aromatase (CYP19A1), human 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD17B1), human androgen receptor and estrogen receptor α. Further, the nature of these compounds was validated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and ADME/T studies. As per the molecular docking output, compounds 33, 35, 38, 40, and 43 exhibited higher binding affinities against the four selected targets. Phytochemical compounds were optimized using Gaussian 16 with the B3LYP function and the 6-31G(d, p) basis set and were correlated with docking results. ADME/T helps in identifying the potential drug candidates from a pool of drugs. Five phytochemical compounds, 33, 35, 38, 40, and 43 were found to have the ability to bind and inhibit appropriate targets in the ovarian steroidogenesis pathway. Hence, these compounds can be further characterized in vitro and in vivo for alleviating PCOS.

Published: August 2023

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are cosmopolitan in distribution with multiple ecological niches. LAB shows diverse applications in improvement of health by biochemical interference or imuno modulation to overcome several clinical circumstances. Lactose intolerance (LI) is one such situation, where individual show lactose maldigestion after the consumption of dairy products. It is necessary to overcome such a condition by employing indigenous beneficial bacteria or their products. Therefore, in this study we have isolated and characterized LAB from fermented milk samples, from remote villages of districts of south India. Traditionally fermented milk samples (68) were collected, cultivated on MRS medium, identified by biochemical and carbohydrate metabolic activity and correlated with Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology. When matched with other LAB, Lactiplantibacillus isolates were able to reduced pH of medium significantly and reached pH of 4.6 in 48 hours. On MRS agar, 450 different bacterial isolates were isolated, recognized as presumptive LAB and classified up to the level of genera as Lactiplantibacillus (285), Lactococcus (70), Pediococcus (19), Streptococcus (20), and Enterococcus (16). Later, β-galactosidase screening was carried out using MRS/X-gal agar medium. Out of 450 LAB isolates only Lactiplantibacillus isolates were potential β-galactosidase producers. GRAS organisms such as LAB are multifaceted diverse group of bacteria localized in varieties of fermented foods/in the intestine and recognized as probiotics. Distinct contribution of LAB in health care and disorder management made this organism as a choice for alternate therapy; hence functionality of LAB can be promoted for LI management.

Compositions of rhamnolipids (RL) and trehalosе lipids (TL) with amino-containing heterocyclic derivatives of 1,4-naphthoquinone were obtained for the first time. The acute toxicity of amino-containing derivatives of 1,4-naphthoquinone was determined by in silico method using the GUSAR program. We have studied influence of selected compounds and their rhamnolipid and trehalosе lipids compositions on the processes of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and oxidative modification of proteins (OMP) in rat liver tissues upon initiation of free radical oxidation in vitro. It was determined that 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives have antioxidant activity. RL and TL have a pro-oxidant effect, increase the content of secondary products of lipoperoxidation compared to the control. They have an antioxidant effect in a composition with 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives. The lead-compound 2-[(6-(4-fluorophenyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)phenyl)amino]naphthalene-1,4-dione (1) and its complex with rhamnolipid show high antioxidant activity (which is confirmed by the decrease in the content of carbonyl groups in the side chains of proteins compared to the control).

Authors: B NATARAJ NANDINI , Sudhakaran Raja
Published: August 2023

One of the essential elements in the in expression of recombinant proteins in Eshecichia coli is a promoter. It is a sequence of DNA that drives the expression of recombinant protein production. Along with the choice of promoter a number of factors such as protein parameters, induction temperature, inducer, induction conditions and protein solubility play a major role in deciding the yield of target protein. In the present study, we have evaluated the strength of three different promoters (phoA, cstA and pLpR) and compared it with one of the strong promoters known, T7. A vector with these three promoters were constructed for expression of FCTRX 1 – 15 tagged proinsulin gene. Protein expressed was isolated, solubilized and purified using chromatography. Yields of proinsulin obtained from different promoter driven constructs was compared and it was observed that the inclusion bodies (IB) yield obtained from temperature inducible pLpR system was comparable with T7 system and this can be further increased by optimizing the fermentation conditions.

Essential oils (EOs) are a suitable alternative for extending the shelf life of foods. The aim of this research was to test the effect of fifteen EOs extracted from plants of the Lamiaceae family on five strains of Cladosporium cladosporioides. Cladosporium cladosporioides is frequently found on fruit and may be involved in fruit spoilage. The strains used in the study were isolated directly from lesions on berries. The growth of the fungi on the fruit was the reason for its rejection from sale. The antifungal activity of EOs against Cladosporium cladosporioides strains was determined by the microatmospheric method (625 μl EO/L air) during 14 days of cultivation. Thirteen EOs: thyme and red thyme (from Thymus vulgaris L.), mitcham mint (Mentha x piperita L. var. Mitcham), peppermint (Mentha x piperita L.), savory (Satureja hortensis L.), sage (Salvia officinalis L.), spearmint (Mentha spicata L. var. crispa), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.), marjoram (Origanum majorana L.), bergamot-mint (Mentha citrata Erh.), wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum  L.), hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.), and oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) were shown to inhibit growth of all strains to 100%. Basil (Ocinum basilicum L.) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) EOs did not have a 100% inhibitory effect on all strains throughout the cultivation period. Subsequently, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIDs) were determined using the microatmospheric method. LD90 and LD50 values were estimated by probit analysis. Based on the MID, LD90, and LD50 results, the essential oils can be divided into three groups. The first group (most effective): thyme, red thyme, spearmint, wild thyme, and oregano EO; the second group: peppermint, lavender, mitcham mint and savory EO; the third group: sage, marjoram, bergamot-mint and hyssop EO. The most effective EOs can be used to suppress the growth of Cladosporium cladosporioides in the vapour phase.

Published: August 2023

Nowadays, nanotechnology has been used to overcome many global problems such as growing worldwide demand for energy and problems of microbial antibiotic resistance. The presented study used the probiotic Bacillus coagulans (ATCC 7050) as a nano-factory for the biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, XRD, TEM and Zeta analysis confirmed the formation of spherical ZnO NPs with a mean size of 10-19 nm and positive potential of 29±2 mV. The biosynthesized ZnO NPs showed potent antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as pathogenic yeast with minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) values of 500 and 800 μg/ml against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and 600 μg/ml against Candida albicans ATCC 10231. On the other hand, a voltaic cell composed from an immersed reduced copper (positive electrode) and platinum electrodes (negative electrode) in ZnO NPs/bacterial metabolites was connected to a voltameter and used to study the electrochemical activity of ZnO NPs/B. coagulans metabolites. Electrochemical characterization of ZnO NPs/B. coagulans metabolites was done using current density–voltage characteristic, power density and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analyses. ZnO NPs/B. coagulans metabolites produced high current with voltage value ≈ >0.34 volt. The present study reported the ability of B. coagulans to produce nitrate reductase enzyme with enzyme activity 2.18 U/ml. The reduction pathway of nitrate (NO3-) into nitrite (NO2-) during the biosynthesis of ZnO NPs might help and stimulate the current production.

Private-Interests Actors as Catalysts for Actions under Public Law

For more than two decades now, scholars of European legal mobilisation have looked at the role of litigants and their lawyers in the ‘judicial construction of Europe’ through the preliminary ruling procedure before the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU). Looking at who are these actors that have raised claims based on EU law before national courts, the literature has focused predominantly on the area of EU non-discrimination, migration and environmental law. Scholars wrote on the essential role of equality bodies, trade unions and NGOs in pushing for the development of EU law and policy in these fields through preliminary questions to the CJEU. The role of private-interests actors in EU legal mobilisation – undertakings, companies, business, industry and other for-profit actors – has, by contrast, been neglected.

Building on five main arguments – the origin of the EU as an economic organisation, the economic focus of EU legislation, the concentration of referrals in regions with a strong commercial/trade focus, the role of transnational activity on the referral rates, and commercial/trade focus of preliminary questions – this article demonstrates that private-interests actors are overlooked yet extremely important catalysts for actions under public law. The aim of this article is to set a research agenda on the role of private-interests actors as important Repeat Players in EU legal mobilisation via the preliminary ruling procedure. Questions that this article raises are as follows: who are these private-interests actors that mobilise EU law? What are their motivations and strategies? And how do these differ from those of public-interests actors? This article aims to identify a critical role that private-interests actors play in shaping legal mobilisation and (ultimately) legal integration in the EU.

During dyke intrusion, tensile stresses concentrated within the overlying rock may lead to the formation of normal faults. These faults typically form graben-bounding pairs that are sub-parallel to, and dip toward, the upper tip of their underlying dyke. Many studies use geometric properties extracted from the surface expression of such dyke-induced faults to estimate the geometry of subsurface dykes. These methods assume dyke-induced faults are planar and nucleate at the surface. However, recent seismic reflection-based investigations of the 3D structure of dyke-induced faults confirm they can be non-planar and have complex growth histories. Here, we use 3D seismic reflection surveys from offshore NW Australia to: (1) examine how the surface expression of dyke-induced faults relates to subsurface dyke geometry and depth; and (2) test whether subjective bias may influence the quantitative analyses of dyke-induced faults using seismic reflection data. We show displacement and dip vary across dyke-induced faults, supporting previous suggestions that faults nucleate between dyke upper tips and the free surface. We also find that prediction of dyke upper tip depths using graben width and area of loss methods are sensitive to fault dip variations and interpretation biases, but often still produce similar results to measured dyke depths. Both measured and predicted dyke depths vary by several hundred metres along-strike, which we relate to the preservation of dyke heads, segmentation, and/or magma density changes. Overall, we show reflection seismology provides a better understanding of the 3D structure of dyke-induced faults and their relationship to the geometry and emplacement dynamics of their causal dykes.
A Snapshot of the Earliest Stages of Normal Fault Growth

Published: August 2023

Observations of how faults lengthen and accrue displacement during the very earliest stages of their growth are limited, reflecting the fact that the early syn-kinematic sediments that record this growth are often deeply buried and difficult to image with geophysical data. Here, we use borehole and high-quality 3D seismic reflection data from SW Barents Sea, offshore Norway to quantify the lateral propagation (c. 0.38 – 3.4 mm/year) and displacement accumulation (c. 0.0062 – 0.025 mm/year) rates (averaged over 6.2 Myr) for several long (up to 43 km), moderate displacement (up to 155 m), syn-kinematic faults that we argue provide a unique, essentially ‘fossilised’ snapshot of the earliest stage of fault growth. We show that lateral propagation rates were up to 300 times faster than displacement rates during the initial ~25% of fault lifespan, suggesting that these faults lengthened much more rapidly than they accrued displacement. Our inference of rapid lengthening is also supported by geometric observations including: (i) low Dmax/Lmax (<0.01) scaling relationships, ii) high (>5) length/height aspect ratios, iii) broad, bell-shaped throw-length profiles, and iv) hangingwall depocenters forming during deposition of the first seismically detectable stratigraphic unit spanning the length of the fault. We suggest that the high ratio between lateral propagation rate and displacement rate is likely due to relative immaturity of the studied fault system, an interpretation that supports the ‘constant-length’ fault growth model. Our results highlight the need to document both displacement and lateral propagation rates to further our understanding of how faults evolve across various temporal and spatial scales.

Beton banyak digunakan dalam industri konstruksi. Hal ini disebabkan fakta bahwa beton dapat ditempa dan tidak akan berubah bentuk seiring waktu.. Beton tetap menjadi bahan bangunan paling umum hingga saat ini. Beton yang komposisi bahannya terdiri dari semen, air, dan agregat atau dengan menambahkan aditif merupakan jenis beton yang paling banyak ditemukan di pasaran. Kekuatan lentur dan kekerasan beton yang rendah membuatnya menjadi bahan konstruksi yang buruk. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan solusi yang berbeda untuk menahan kuat lentur tersebut, seperti penambahan serat pada campuran beton. Ide dasarnya adalah memperkuat beton secara alami dengan menambahkan serat ke dalam campuran secara acak, sehingga mencegah retak dini akibat beban atau karena panas hidrasi. Pada penelitian ini, bahan campuran serat yang digunakan adalah Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (TKKS). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan kuat tekan beton dengan menambahkan tandan kosong kelapa sawit sebagai serat pada bahan campuran perencanaan beton K-225. Penelitian ini mengunakan metode kuantitatif dari percobaan untuk mengadakan suatu hasil yang dilakukan di PT. Socfindo kabupaten Nagan Raya. Dari hasil penelitian  didapatkan data pada benda uji dengan kekuatan rata-rata, benda uji tanpa additif adalah sebesar 117,111 kg/cm2, benda uji dengan bahan campuran 5% adalah sebesar 56,667 kg/cm2, serta benda uji dengan bahan campuran 7% adalah sebesar 54,400 kg/cm2. Data pengujian yang diperoleh ternyata mutu beton K-225 tidak memenuhi standart kuat tekan beton dan dapat disimpulkan bahwa campuran tandan kelapa sawit tidak memenuhi dari klasifikasi mutu beton K rencana karena kuat tekannya berkurang secara signifikan, berbanding lurus dengan penambahan bahan campuran.

The need for quality and relevant tertiary education is much more urgent now than ever. This is occasioned by the advancement of society’s agenda for social, economic, technological, and moral development. The study was designed to assess the tertiary education needs of the youth in Kenya, analyse the state of students’ college education financing in tertiary institutions, establish the status of the quality of facilities in tertiary level educational institutions, establish the ability of college education to address skills required for youth employability, collate the views of participants on the incorporation of value based education in tertiary institutions, and establish the responsiveness of college education to challenges related to global megatrends. The mixed-method approach was adopted to guide the study to cater to its qualitative and quantitative aspects. The participants of the study included college students (350), graduates (125), and educators (49). Students were sampled using systematic random sampling while college educators and graduates were sampled using snowball sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics while thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. The findings revealed growing trends in the shift in career choices for more practical and solution-based courses for the contemporary generation of young people. Financing education remains a major challenge for many college students. Education offered in many tertiary colleges inadequately addresses the challenges caused by global megatrends and the integration of value-based education in their curricular offerings. The overall quality of the institutions in the region was found not to be competitive by the global practice.
