Perspectives and Challenges of Online Language Learning: Slovak University Students' Viewpoints
Authors: Metruk Rastislav , Rafajlovičová Rita
Published: April 2022

Within the span of the past two years, modern technologies have induced major changes in education. It is primarily the Covid-19 pandemic that has altered the way of foreign language instruction. Therefore, this paper attempts to investigate the perceptions and attitudes of Slovak university EFL learners towards online English language learning. Altogether 188 participants completed a survey, indicating their level of agreement on a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. The research results indicate that the students either agree or are neutral to the majority of statements involving their conditions for online learning and developing particular language skills and systems. However, it should be also emphasized that some challenges of online learning, such as visiting social networking sites or chatting with peers for non-academic purposes, were also detected to some degree. It is necessary to conduct further studies in this area so that the teaching and learning process is facilitated and ultimately becomes more effective.

Published: April 2022

Uncertainty of getting admission into universities / institutions is one of the global challenges in academic environment. The students are having good marks with high credential but not sure about getting their admission into universities / institutions.  In this research study the researcher built a predictive model using Naïve Bayes Classifiers –machine learning algorithm to extract and analyze hidden pattern in students’ academic records and their credentials. The main objective of this research study is to reduce uncertainty for getting admission into universities / institutions on the basis of their previous credentials and some other essentials parameters. This research study presents a joint venture of Naïve Bayes Classification and Kernel Density Estimations (KDE) approach to predict student’s admission into universities or any higher institutions.  The predictive model is built on training dataset of students’ examination score such as GPA, GRE, RANK and some other essential features that offered the admission with a predictor accuracy rate of 72% and has been experimentally verified.  To improve the quality of accuracy of predictive model the researcher used the Shapiro-Walk Normality Test and Gaussian distribution on large datasets. The predictive model helps in reducing the admission uncertainty and enhances the universities decision making capabilities. The significance of this research study is to reduce human intervention for making decisions with respect to students’ admission into universities or any higher academic institutions, and it demonstrates that many universities and higher-level institutions could use this predictive model to improve their admission process without human intervention.
Écrire, compter, entreprendre. Formation, recrutement et carrières au sein de compagnies d’affaires florentines d’après des archives d’entreprise (xive-xvie siècles)
Authors: Houssaye Michienzi Ingrid , Pallini-Martin Agnès
Published: April 2022

La gestion à distance d’une compagnie marchande nécessitait d’employer du personnel bien formé et compétent. Pour cette raison, les marchands accordaient beaucoup d’importance à la formation et au recrutement de leurs employés, privilégiant les liens de famille et l’origine géographique. Le contenu de la formation ainsi que le contrôle permanent sur les actions des employés garantissaient la bonne marche des affaires économiques. À travers les cas d’étude de deux compagnies toscanes spécialisées dans le grand commerce, Datini et Salviati, notre article met en évidence les processus de professionnalisation des marchands tels qu’ils apparaissent dans les documents comptables d’entreprise et les correspondances
Postface : histoire de l’apprentissage ou de la formation professionnelle ? Un changement de perspective
Authors: Rivière François
Published: April 2022

La notion de formation permet de replacer l’apprentissage artisanal ou marchand parmi les dispositifs éducatifs qui construisent les compétences professionnelles. L’anachronisme assumé de cette problématique contemporaine vise à permettre la comparaison des études de cas rassemblées dans ce dossier, en dégageant des problématiques qui traversent les spécificités de contextes historiques très différents de l’Europe médiévale et moderne, de l’Italie du xiiie siècle à la France du xviiie siècle. La transmission des savoirs est en effet parfois masquée par des enjeux sociaux, économiques ou politiques, dans les sources comme dans l’historiographie. La transposition de notions utilisées par l’historiographique anglophones (learning, training), de la sociologie des professions, et de l’ethnologie des techniques permet de montrer les décalages entre les dispositifs juridiques et institutionnels (apprentissage, allouage, tutelles, écoles, universités, académies…) d’une part, et les processus pratiques de formation, formels et informels, d’autre part. Ces derniers débordent la jeunesse, les relations maître-élève et les activités manuelles pour s’intégrer à la vie professionnelle, à des rapports informels dans les familles ou sur les lieux de travail, ainsi que dans des milieux savants censés échapper aux contingences du travail. La notion de profession montre sa pertinence pour rapprocher des processus touchant des activités du passé, conçues différemment à l’époque, mais dont la formation peut être décrite avec des approches similaires. Malgré la discrétion des acteurs sur le sujet, le contenu des savoirs, savoir-faire et savoir-être qui participent à la professionnalisation, peut alors être recherché, révélant de nouvelles continuités et discontinuités en fonction des lieux, des époques et des métiers
Les brouteurs d’Abidjan
Authors: Adou Ettien Franck-Stéphane
Published: April 2022

Cet article s’inscrit dans la problématique des usages et appropriations sociales d’internet. Il s’intéresse particulièrement au broutage, une forme spécifique de criminalité informatique centrée sur les escroqueries via internet qui tend dans l’imaginaire populaire ivoirien à symboliser les effets négatifs des TIC. Pour étudier cet « usage déviant » d’internet, il déploie une démarche d’anthropologie de la communication et exploite les données d’une enquête ethnographique menée pendant plus de huit mois auprès d’un groupe de brouteurs fréquentant un cybercafé d’Abobo (Abidjan). Il s’inspire des réflexions d’Howard Becker (étiquetage, carrière), d’Erving Goffman (cadre de la situation) et de Dick Hebdige (sous-culture). Ainsi, cet article met en visibilité l’espace, les acteurs et les pratiques ritualisées qui se développent dans le cybercafé, le cadre privilégié d’apprentissage du broutage. Il éclaire les attitudes individuelles, les valeurs et les représentations sociales autour desquelles le groupe de brouteurs se consolide et réagit face au processus d’étiquetage dont il est l’objet. Les brouteurs apparaissent alors comme une sous-culture juvénile urbaine déviante à Abidjan.
Total laparoscopic management of uterocutaneous fistulas
Authors: Nali Abhilash , Mansukhani Chandra , Dey Ashish , Malik Vinod K.
Published: April 2022

Uterocutaneous fistulae are rare fistulas of the female genitourinary tract. It mostly follows caesarean section and subsequent post-operative wound infection. Only a handful of cases have been published in the literature. Surgical excision is the definitive management in most cases. Laparoscopic management has been used by many authors and gives good results. A 30-year-old multigravida presented with symptoms typical of uterocutaneous fistula and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis. On diagnostic laparoscopy, the tract was delineated by methylene blue dye both through the opening in the skin as well as through the cervix. The complete excision of fistulous tract was done laparoscopically along with omental interposition between the uterus and the abdominal wall at the site of the fistula. Histopathologic examination of the tract confirmed endometriotic tissues without any chronic inflammation, typical of uterocutaneous fistula. The patient had an uneventful recovery, was started on diet the following day and discharged the next day. There was minimal post-operative pain and helped in early ambulation. On follow-up at 12 months, the tract had completely healed and the patient was completely asymptomatic. Uterocutaneous fistula is a rare complication that follows wound infection or suboptimal wound closure following caesarean section. As compared to the traditional excision by laparotomy, laparoscopy not only aids in confirmation of the diagnosis but also helps in complete excision of the tract with good results.
Challenges in medical education
Authors: Gupta Vitull K. , Gupta Meghna , Gupta Varun
Published: April 2022

Medical education in India is at crossroads confronted with numerous serious challenges of monstrous proportions looking at virtual collapse adversely affecting the mindset and quality of doctors under the hypnotizing influence of corporatization and commercialization converting doctors into materialistic, self-centred, without values of sacrifice, service or commitment to the country as well as depriving the poor brilliant students a chance to become a doctor. The challenges in medical education are different for public medical education such as poor work environment, bureaucratic interferences, lack of funds and dilapidated infrastructure, whereas challenges in private medical institutions are generally about rampant and open illegal and unethical practices, excessive commercialization and being obnoxiously expensive. Moreover, both public and private medical institutes are governed by ineffective regulatory institutions like State Medical Councils and National Medical Commission. During COVID-19 pandemic, miserable deficiencies were exposed in our public health care and exploitation by private health institutions because of progressive deterioration and increasing commercialisation of medical education. All these factors seriously impact the health-care system both public and private leading to increased attention and focus on the state. Even with 541 medical colleges, medical education in India still needs revolutionary and urgent changes to fulfil the healthcare needs of the nation.
Radicular Dens Invaginatus
Authors: Sachdev Sanpreet Singh , Chettiankandy Tabita Joy , Sardar Manisha Ahire , Kausadikar Pranoti Prashant , Sarda Ashish Sunilkumar
Published: April 2022

Dens invaginatus is an anomaly of the shape of teeth resulting from invagination of the developing tooth germ. Although the coronal variant is frequently observed in the clinical setting, the true “radicular” variant of Dens invaginatus resulting from invagination of the Hertwig's epithelial root sheath at the root level is extremely rare. The anomaly can present in itself with multiple sequelae owing to the peculiar structure of the tooth which makes it vulnerable for entry and lodging of bacteria even in a tooth with an apparently normal crown devoid of any carious process. It also complicates the treatment plan whereby it renders root canal treatment impracticable and makes it difficult to extract the tooth atraumatically. The present report consists of one such case of radicular dens invaginatus that was diagnosed by correlating clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings. Management of the case was done by extracting the tooth in multiple sections without any posttreatment complications.

Authors: Kabongo Kizito Mulamba Changachanga , Mbewe Charles , Lupasha Mwila
Published: April 2022

Cecal volvulus is rare, and its preoperative diagnosis poses a challenge. Because of its variable clinical features, the ultimate diagnosis of cecal volvulus is determined during surgery. We aim to demonstrate the rarity of cecal volvulus, the challenge in preoperative diagnosis of cecal volvulus, and the use of surgery in both diagnosis and treatment. We herein present a case of ischemic cecal volvulus in a 41-year-old man who presented within 5 hours of onset of symptoms ofabdominal pain, vomiting, and lower abdominal distension. He had not passed flatus or opened bowels for a day. The available abdominal radiographs did not reveal preoperative cecal volvulus. An emergency laparotomy was performed, and it showed ischemic anticlockwise cecal volvulus that was managed by right hemicolectomy plus ileo-transverse primary anastomosis and transverse colopexy. The postoperative recovery and follow-up were uneventful.

Published: April 2022

Objective: The aim of this scoping review was to highlight the nature and scope of research andpublications about surgery in COVID-19-infected patients in Africa in order to inform guidelinesapplicable in Africa. Methods: We considered peerreviewed and gray literature from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Word Health Organization COVID-19 online databases published from February 1, 2020, to February 28, 2021, about surgery for/in COVID-19-infected patients. The review is reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for Scoping Reviews. Results: Of 530 studies screened, only 11 (2.08%) were foundeligible, including 4 cohort studies, 3 cross-sectional studies, 2 letters to the editor, 1 case series, and 1 review. The key emphasis areas by the eligible studies were vaccination, testing prior to surgery, clinical guidelines to reduce complications related to COVID-19 among infected patients, and protection of the surgical team. Conclusion: There is a dearth of studies on surgery in COVID-19-infected patients in Africa. There is an urgent need for more reports and publications from the African experiences so as to inform contextualized guidelines for surgical care in low-resource settings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Musau Pius
Published: April 2022

Background: Many countries have poor patient health education and understanding of prostate diseases. The Kenyan situation has not been adequately documented. Objective: To establish the relationship between sources of health education on prostate diseases and patient health status at presentation to hospital. Methods: A hospital-based census study was conducted using interviewer-administered questionnaire after ethical approval. Patients who presented to a urology clinic for the first time with prostatism were recruited after they provided informed consent. Collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20.0 and statistical significance was set at p≤0.05. Results: A total of 126 patients were recruitedfrom July 2016 to June 2018. The three sources of information were Informal sources such as friends and relatives (81%), the Internet (8.7%), and Health Workers (10.3%). Thirty-two (25.4%) patients had health information on prostate and its diseases. The duration of symptoms ranged from 1 month to 4 years. The difference in the proportions of those who presented within the first year of symptoms was statistically significant (p<0.001) for those whose sources were Health Workers (76.7%), the Internet (72.7%), and Informal sources (43.1%). Conclusion: Health education on prostate diseases is positively correlated with the health status at presentation.

Published: April 2022

In response to the housing deficit in the Federal Capital City occasioned by the movement of the seat of government from Lagos to Abuja in 1991, the authority of the Federal Capital Territory Administration introduced Housing Development Schemes at different times to develop large scale residential houses and sell to the residents at low cost. However, available statistics indicates that supply of adequate housing to meet the demand of the teeming residents of the territory still remain a mirage. The paper examined the challenges of housing development in the city. Both primary and secondary data were sourced for the study. A total of 312 questionnaires were administered to residents of Mabushi; Utako; Durumi; Wuye and Gudu districts. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics and results were presented by means of tables and figures. Analysis of the data revealed that the schemes were hindered by certain factors such as land use violations; bureaucracy and cost of land registration and titling; inflation in the costs of building materials; land tenure security problems and poor capacity of developers. Based on the findings of the study, the paper recommends strict enforcement of the Master Plan for the city; introduction of affordable Mortgage Electronic Registration and Titling System; government intervention through regulation of prices of building materials; review of the Land Use Act as well as involvement of capable mortgage developers.

Published: April 2022

Peri-urban areas are areas around the cities, known to possess vast area of land for agricultural activities and other uses. This study investigates the extent of land and property ownership among women in the peri-urban areas of Minna, Nigeria, and more importantly the challenges they encountered as a result of ownership. By utilizing purposive sampling method, women within marriageable age of 18 years and above were sampled across 12 randomly selected peri-urban areas in the study area. Based on the questionnaire survey conducted between 8th June and 10th June, 2019, a total number of 622 respondents were interviewed. The data for the study entailed general information on land and property ownership and socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics (simple frequency and proportion method) and 4-point likert scale. The study observed that only 52.27% of the respondents owned land/property and revealed that 61.26% of the women did not experience any major threat from owning such asset. The most outstanding challenge experienced as revealed by the study is envy from other women within their society; 62.47% of the respondents attested to this fact. The current study contributes to the extant literature by recommending the formation of social capital network among the women as a panacea to curb the major challenge of envy identified. This could help create good social relationship, social cohesion, collective action and trust among the women. It can also help create economic empowerment which would give women better opportunities to own land and property.
Rural access roads and the quest for agricultural development: An appraisal of the conditions in South-East In Nigeria
Authors: Udeuhele Godwin Ikechukwu , Eze Anayochukwu Victor
Published: April 2022

This study examined the quest for agricultural development in Nigeria vis-à-vis the conditions of rural access roads in South-east Nigeria. Specifically, the study investigated the impact of the condition of the three types of rural access roads, namely, bush-paths, gravel-surfaced roads, and tarred roads on the quantity of food crops produced by smallholder farmers, their income levels, and contribution to agricultural GDP. The study adopted the quantitative research method and cross-sectional survey design. The questionnaire was validated and pre-tested. The reliability test performed on the questionnaire showed a Cronbach’s Alpha Index of 0.823. Five (5) sample units comprising five chapters of the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States were used to select 328 stratified random respondents. Descriptive statistics consisting of frequency counts, and percentages were used in analyzing the data. Three hypotheses were put forward for test using Simple Linear Regression and ANOVA. The findings show that bush-paths as rural access roads did not significantly increase the quantity of food crops produced by rural farmers, that gravel-surfaced roads as rural roads never increased the income level of rural farmers; and that tarred roads as rural access roads did not contribute significantly to total agricultural GDP. The study recommends that government and other major stakeholders like international agencies and other development partners should prioritize and embark on massive rural road construction and regular maintenance.
Assessment of physical conditions and proposed best management practices of domestic storage tanks supplied by a water utility in a rapidly growing city
Authors: Makoko E. W. , Wozei E.
Published: April 2022

The physical conditions of domestic storage tanks for customers supplied by a water utility were assessed in Kampala, a rapidly growing City in Uganda. A longitudinal assessment of 372 storage tanks in 6 sampled administrative Wards with a minimum of 6 samples collected from each site in both wet (March-May) and dry (June-August) months of 2017 was carried out. A set of guiding questions were used to establish tank conditions with a YES or NO response and a range of low to critical risk rating. It was revealed that there was a statistically significant relationship (p=0.001) between tank physical conditions and quality of stored water. Two of six Wards in the City had high levels of water contamination related to domestic water storage tanks with poor sanitary conditions and contaminated water with E. coli. The study therefore revealed that the physical conditions and management of domestic water storage tanks have an effect on water quality. This is important information for a water utility as it means that it is not enough to supply safe water if the quality may deteriorate upon storage at the consumer premises. A routine inspection checklist and consumer guidelines for domestic storage tank management are proposed.

The aim of this project was to promote better governance in the water sector in Uganda by fostering transparency, social accountability and efficient communication activities. Two social accountability tools known as the Citizen’s Report Card (CRC) and the Community Score Card (CSC) have been used. A communication strategy was also developed to ensure better information flow between users and providers and other key stakeholders of the project, the process and the outcomes. This project engaged communities within the Town Council to work in partnership with the service providers to improve the quality of water service delivery. After two years of implementation what is clear is that social accountability works in improving water provision and improving relations among stakeholders.
Faecal sludge briquettes production as a viable business in Kampala: a case study of a partnership between Water for People and National Water and Sewerage Corporation
Authors: Lugali Yvonne , Nimanya Cate , Achiro Brenda , Maiteki James , Asimwe Joan
Published: April 2022

Production of faecal sludge (FS) briquettes is not a new technology and is often used in the sanitation value chain as part of resource recovery efforts. Water for People in its mandate to develop appropriate and sustainable sanitation technologies sought to optimize the process of faecal sludge based briquette production. This was done by testing the different compositions of faecal sludge (100%, 80%, 60%, 50% and 40%) with other materials such as wood charcoal dust, agricultural waste and market waste to come up with a briquette that could compete favorably with charcoal and traditional briquettes on the market. The testing phase indicated that such briquette was at a composition of 40% faecal sludge and 60% charcoal dust and adequately provided the fuel properties required as well being safe from any pathogens or emissions. A briquette production facility was set up in collaboration with National Water and Sewerage Corporation, Uganda at their treatment plant in Lubigi and has to-date produced more than 10 tonnes of briquettes and sold more than 3 tonnes since its inception. Further research is being carried out in production process efficiency and use of other raw materials such as agricultural waste and market waste to offset the wood charcoal.

As a consequence of its prominence on the face, the mandible is one of the bones most susceptible to fractures caused by different etiological agents. Currently, domestic violence has been a considerable factor in the appearance of facial injuries, which are mostly performed by partners of the victims. The aim of this study is to report a case of mandibular fracture caused by domestic violence. Female patient, victim of domestic aggression, attended at the Maxillofacial Service, in Bahia, with extensive submandibular hematoma, facial asymmetry, pain during physical examination and presence of atypical mobility on mandibular manipulation. The Computed Tomography exam evidenced two fracture lines in the mandible. The patient was submitted to surgery for osteosynthesis, uneventfully. Considering that the face is an aesthetic region, manipulation in those structures is an aesthetic and functional challenge, requiring specialized care.

La La temporalidad del pueblo en Martin Heidegger
Authors: Michelow Briones Daniel
Published: April 2022

El presente análisis se detiene con especial atención en la catedra dictada en la Universidad de Friburgo por M. Heidegger en el año 1934 titulada «Lógica como la pregunta por la esencia del lenguaje» (GA 38). En dicho curso es posible dilucidar la peculiar temporalidad desde la que éste piensa el fenómeno de pueblo en su obra. Su exposición detallada mostrará con claridad el derrotero que lleva al pensador de la Selva Negra a descartar toda comprensión de la comunidad del Dasein como humanidad, pero también se indicarán las razones que lo llevan a declarar años más tarde la impotencia de la filosofía para afectar el destino técnico planetario.
El gesto se gesta en el gasto
Authors: Alvarado Cabellos Ángel
Published: April 2022

El presente texto describe, en primer lugar, en qué medida la fenomenología del gesto en Heidegger implica un primer momento que consiste en el “silencio” como rechazo de toda aproximación temática a la corporalidad y un segundo momento que radica en una aproximación performativa, en la cual el gesto no es solo un movimiento corporal, sino la auto-realización del pensar mismo como gestación de sentido. En segundo lugar, a través de un manuscrito titulado “El nacimiento del habla”, se muestra hasta qué punto la fenomenología del gesto como gestación en Heidegger entraña un doble peligro, a saber, la subsunción de su transposición aliterativa bajo una inscripción etimológica, y un acercamiento edípico a la natalidad de la diferencia ontológica.
La temporalidad del ser en general

El desarrollo del concepto de temporalidad originaria luego de Sein und Zeit presenta diversas formulaciones. En este artículo nos focalizamos en tres de ellas explicando su articulación. El tiempo originario del tiempo-espacio que se abisma en el sitio del instante. El gran instante de la eternalización y el instante del paso del último Dios. Cada uno de estos niveles especifica el modo en que puede pensarse el darse del ser en su retorno y repetición no identitario. Concluiremos destacando la función del abismo en esta nueva forma que toma la temporalidad centrada en una reformulación de la noción clásica de eternidad por medio del instante de paso del último Dios.

Pravnoistorijski pogled na advokatsku profesiju u srpskom pravu
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Gavrilović Biljana
Published: April 2022

Subject of this analysis is a legal profession in Serbian law, during 19th and early 20th century. Namely, the legal profession (advocacy) has been beginning to develop in the second half of the 19th century. The structure of the legal profession was made up of educated and uneducated people. The “lawyers – pensioners” was working as lawyers, too. Consequently, reputation of the Serbian lawyers was worse than that of the lawyers in Western Europe. Also, people did not properly evaluate the lawyer’s service. Therefore, the question arises on what basis is the legal profession built in Serbian law and what consequences does it have today?

The overall aim of this paper is to investigate whether hybrid rights created within the regional human rights system in Europe can establish a legal framework at national level for the provision of hybrid services. It was explored on the example of surrogacy as a type of hybrid right from the group of reproductive rights. Accordingly, the main focus of the research is on the question whether the (indirect) regional protection of surrogacy induces introduction of a national legal framework for the provision of related (hybrid) services. The research starts with brief explanation of the concept of hybrid rights and their creation. Following to this it was analyzed whether reproductive rights could be typified as form of hybrid rights as well as whether surrogacy shares distinctive features of this group of rights. The main method used during the research is the case study combined with other scientific methods. Overall research findings indicate that hybrid rights lead to the establishment of a national legal framework for the provision of hybrid services; that reproductive rights are hybrid rights and that surrogacy belongs to the group of hybrid rights. The most important result of the research is that even indirect protection of surrogacy through the regional human rights system creates two effects on national legislation: 1) it liberalizes national restrictions to surrogacy where they exist and 2) it results with introduction of a legal framework to regulate related hybrid services. The most significant contribution of this paper is in explaining how hybrid rights develop the legal framework for the provision of hybrid services. Also, the paper contributes to the development of the doctrine of hybrid rights in domestic legal thought.

La propuesta investigativa que aquí se presenta se define como un Proyecto de Investigación–Acción, titulado “Formación docente e inclusión. El desafío de la enseñanza de las Ciencias” – Proyecto N° 2333 del Consejo de Investigación de la Universidad Nacional de Salta (CIUNSa) - el mismo se interesa por afianzar un tipo de trabajo colaborativo entre docentes-investigadores de la Universidad Nacional de Salta (UNSa) y docentes de la Provincia de Salta. Su objetivo mediato de trabajo es conformar una Comunidad de docentes interesados en que sus clases sean inclusivas en el sentido más amplio de la palabra, facilitando el contacto, el acceso y la reciprocidad de la relación. Desde la Investigación – acción, se elige esta metodología de investigación porque posibilita la participación abierta y llana de los docentes implicados, permite superar el estigma y la presencia del investigador externo, se aprende de los demás y de cada uno. Esto significa que cada docente irá reflexionando y concluyendo de su propio proceso constructivo de acción.
Propuesta de contenidos científicos sobre biomasa en el contexto de un proyecto multidisciplinar de energías renovables
Authors: Ávila Nelson Arias , Gómez Verónica Tricio
Published: April 2022

Modificar el modelo energético existente, basado en combustibles fósiles, se ha hecho una necesidad incuestionable; en ese proceso las energías renovables (ER) jugarán un papel fundamental. Dicho proceso implica un cambio de mentalidad y a la educación le corresponde una parte esencial e insustituible en dicho cambio. Dada la importancia de enseñar ER y temas relacionados, se formuló el PROCOLER (Proyecto Colaborativo en Energías Renovables). Se presenta una propuesta sobre la biomasa, uno de los tópicos que integran el proyecto, a partir de la experiencia obtenida a nivel universitario. Se propone su implementación en secundaria siguiendo la metodología del PROCOLER, que integra transversalmente asignaturas propias de ese nivel.

THE EFFECT OF ALLEE FACTOR ON A NONLINEAR DELAYED POPULATION MODEL WITH HARVESTING
Authors: GÜMÜȘ ÖZLEM AK , SELVAM A. GEORGE MARIA , VIGNESH D.
Published: April 2022

The Allee effect may have a stabilizing or destabilizing effect on population dynamics, or reaching stability may be delayed. Also this effect can push populations to extinction, especially under sharp harvesting effect. Compensatory or overcompensatory population maps are situations that change the effect of the Allee factor on population dynamics. The harvesting factor has also the effect of changing the equilibrium levels differently in theoretical population models. This study includes the local stability of the equilibrium point of the delayed discrete-time population model exposed to the harvest effect with and without Allee effect. We also review the effect of Allee factor on the local stability of equilibrium point of the discrete-time population model involving delay [1]. The dynamics of this population models are given together with the enriched dynamics.

Published: April 2022

Essential sage oil (ESO) was isolated from dry leaves by steam distillation with Neo-Clevenger apparatus. The chemical analysis of the ESO consisted in the assessment of the total polyphenolic content (Folin-Ciocâlteu method) and of the radical scavenging activity with DPPH. The antioxidant activity was measured using two standard compounds: gallic acid and ascorbic acid. Phenolic content of essential oil of S. officinalis was significant (15.465 mg GAE/g oil) and antioxidant activity was high. Antibacterial activity of essential sage oil was evaluated against Gram positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains isolated from clinical specimens. The sage oil showed significant but variable antibacterial activity with inhibition zones ranging from 4 mm to 9.5.mm. The effect was stronger on Gram positive (Enterococcus, Staplylococcus) than Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia sp, Proteus sp, Klebsiella sp).

Published: April 2022

This research describes the irreversibility analysis of steady flow with magnetic effects between two infinite stretching disks situated in a Darcy-Forchheimer medium. The energy equation is amended by the features of thermal radiation and heat absorption or generation. Similarity transformations are employed to transform the formulated equations into dimensionless form. Quasi linearization technique with the application of mathematical computational software MATLAB is used to acquire the numerical solution of these non-dimensional modeled equations. It is noticed that Eckert number, heat generation/absorption and Forchheimer parameter accelerate the temperature, while the radiation parameter decreases the temperature. It can also be observed that axial velocity is affected by inertia as well as porosity of the medium. Moreover, skin friction coefficient is an escalating function of porosity, magnetic and Forchheimer parameters.
Mountain Grand Hotels at the Fin de Siècle
Authors: Wedekind Michael
Published: April 2022

Grand hotels had been a metropolitan phenomenon before they emerged in remote regions of the Alps between the 1880s and the 1930s. This essay explores how these semi-public spaces and early places of modernity engaged with alpine scenery and shaped the very industry of mountain tourism. It analyzes the relationship between elite tourism and the natural and social environment of the Alps.
The success of mountain grand hotels was tied to increasing industrialization and a new understanding of travel. Their thoughtful detachment from space, time, and society was an expression of a business as much as of social philosophy. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, mountains served as a backdrop for the narrative of the period's scientific and technical progress and became subject to rational interpretation and economic exploitation. Mountain grand hotels were not only a key component of tourism infrastructure but also the bold expression of a presumptuous occupation of spaces set away for tourism. Natural space had widely been turned into social space for visual and leisurely consumption, raising questions of authority, priority, appropriation, and imposition.
By mapping the perception of mountains along the history of mountain grand hotels, this essay studies the sites, gazes, and environments of mountain tourism at the fin de siècle. It examines how the history of the mountain grand hotel conflates with the forces of nationalism, colonialism, and capitalism and showcases how these spaces reflect the socio-economic transformations that ultimately paved the way for mountain mass tourism.
