Authors:   , Alarcon Fonseca Massiel Alejandra
Published: May 2024

El objetivo de la investigación es identificar cómo se perciben las campañas educativas en derechos laborales realizadas por la Superintendencia Nacional de Fiscalización Laboral (Sunafil) a través de la red social TikTok. El estudio obedece a un enfoque cualitativo y el diseño es un estudio de casos. Se realizó un análisis por cada entrevista enfocada en jóvenes trabajadores de 20 a 25 años de Lima Metropolitana, usuarios de la plataforma TikTok. Como resultado, se evidenció una falta de recursos publicitarios en la institución para la difusión de derechos laborales. Sin embargo, el uso de TikTok como un medio, al ser una red social que se caracteriza por utilizar videos cortos, dinámicos y entretenidos, permite generar cercanía haciendo que el público tenga información educativa a su alcance. De esta manera, la comunicación de Sunafil es percibida como positiva y cercana, más aún cuando las instituciones públicas mantienen un perfil lejano y formal, percibido como desinteresado de las necesidades de la población. Por tal motivo, se recomienda, en la estrategia de comunicación, utilizar este canal digital como medio para comunicar las labores de entidades públicas.
Exploring Social Justice Through Art in a Community Health Nursing Course
Authors: Dosani Aliyah , Lehman Jocelyn , Cuncannon Alexander
Published: May 2024

Social justice and health equity are foundational to community health nursing. Arts-based pedagogy has learning and reflexive value for community and population health education within nursing and health professions curricula have been increasingly used in health care and in promoting health, including in nursing education. However, research has not explored the use of arts to teach community health nursing students about social justice. The objective of this study was to understand how the inclusion of a collaborative artistic process relates to the understanding of social justice issues for second-year baccalaureate nursing students enrolled in a community health nursing course. Visual art and symbolic components were added to an existing group concept mapping assignment of community health nursing interventions from a social justice approach. We engaged in analysis within interpretive phenomenological inquiry to understand and share students’ experiences with constructing and giving meaning to symbols and art pieces, internalizing the concept of social justice, and collaborating with group members. Students used symbols and visual representation to explore social justice and health. Students’ narrative reflections encompassed experiences finding personal power, engaging in empathy, reflecting on their own position and privilege, and benefitting from non-traditional forms of learning. Students recounted group processes that deepened their understanding of concepts, increased their appreciation of the need for advocacy, and enabled creative freedom in the context of collective vision. The addition of a collaborative creative, artistic process enhanced students’ learning about social justice and health.
Growing diversity in couples' work patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic in Austria
Authors: Berghammer Caroline , Riederer Bernhard
Published: May 2024

Objective: This paper studies changes in couples’ work patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on socio-economic status and children’s age.
Background: We contribute to previous research by examining flows between different work patterns using panel data and by providing evidence for a conservative welfare state.
Method: Analyses are based on the Austrian Labour Force Surveys 2019-20 and include different-sex couples with children below age 15 (n=930 to 3,053). We applied (multinomial) logistic regression models.
Results: The findings reveal a polarization into both more egalitarian (e.g., partners work equal hours) and more traditional (e.g., sole male earner) models during the first lockdown, while the moderate male full-time/female part-time model strongly declined. Among the two more egalitarian models, the "about equal hours" model was mostly fuelled by families with lower socio-economic status, conversely the "role reversal" model (woman more hours) grew predominantly among couples where the female partner was highly educated or had a high earnings share. Retraditionalisation was mainly restricted to women with weaker positions on the labour market: The male sole worker model progressed among families with younger children and when the female earnings share was low.
Conclusion: Overall, more couples transited to egalitarian than traditional work patterns. This shift was largely confined to the first lockdown and chiefly driven by men’s rise in short-time work.
Optimal approach to stem cell mobilization in transplant-eligible multiple myeloma patients
Authors: Fitzsimons Jack , Hagen Patrick A.
Published: May 2024

Multiple myeloma is a neoplastic disorder of plasma cells typically afflicting older individuals. Despite significant improvements in induction therapy and outcomes for transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients, autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) remains the standard of care for consolidation in transplant-eligible NDMM. Consequently, the optimal approach to stem cell mobilization remains critical. In this manuscript, we outline key updates to stem cell mobilization in NDMM patients. We describe the optimal number of cycles of induction prior to mobilization, emphasizing the need to balance the benefit of achieving improved depth of response by giving additional cycles of pre-transplant induction with the impact on stem cell yields. Additionally, we review ideal timing between the end of induction and initiation of mobilization to facilitate both a minimization of time off therapy as well as better communication and work flow between community providers and transplant centers. We also review different stem cell mobilization regimens with and without upfront CXCR4 inhibitors to optimize stem cell yields while considering both clinical outcomes and cost of care. Finally, we review optimal yields of CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells to minimize toxicity for ASCT and also consider optional utilization of stem cells for both salvage second ASCT and stem cell boosts for poor marrow function.

Authors: Zhu Yanlan , Xu Xiaomin
Published: May 2024

Electrophysiology is an indispensable tool in the early diagnosis of a wide range of diseases, making the precise, continuous, and stable recording of electrophysiological signals critically important. Organic electrochemical transistors stand out among various electrophysiological recording devices, offering a high signal-to-noise ratio due to their intrinsic amplification capability. However, despite their inherent advantages, several challenges persist in practical scenarios, such as the stability of wearable devices, limited spatiotemporal resolution, and undesired inter-channel crosstalk in implantable systems. Addressing these challenges may require innovative approaches in electrolyte engineering. This perspective summarizes the latest advancements and ongoing hurdles in the electrolyte engineering of organic electrochemical transistors, highlighting their potential to revolutionize advanced electrophysiological applications.

Published: May 2024

Background: Physician trainees need to have robust gender awareness for better professional relationships and patient outcomes. A cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate (UG) medical students (MBBS) of a medical college in Hyderabad, India, in November 2022, to assess their gender sensitivity (GS) and gender-role ideologies. Methods: A pretested, structured English questionnaire was used for the study, to compute the Nijmegen Gender Awareness Scale in Medicine (N-GAMS) of the participants. Results: The mean age of the students was 20.51 years, with the majority being women (112, 61.2%). The mean GS score was 3.11, while the mean scores for gender-role ideology towards patients (GRIP) and gender-role ideology towards doctors (GRID) were 2.56 and 2.56, respectively. In the adjusted analysis, a significantly better GS score was seen among medical students from urban backgrounds. Significantly more egalitarian GRIP was found among women, participants from urban backgrounds, and among those whose mothers were employed. Significantly more egalitarian GRID was found among women and participants whose mothers were employed. There was a significant negative, but low, correlation between the GS domain and the GRIP (r = - 0.241; p < 0.001) and GRID (r = - 0.192; p = 0.009) scores. There was a high, positive correlation between GRID and GRIP (r = 0.812; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Gender awareness is relatively low among Indian medical students and lower still among male students. It was higher among women, particularly among those whose mothers were employed and those who were from urban areas.
Assessing the relationship between cordon strangulation, dieback, and fungal trunk disease symptom expression in grapevine
Authors: O'Brien Patrick , De Bei Roberta , Collins Cassandra
Published: May 2024

Grapevine cordons wrapped tightly around the cordon wire during establishment may be susceptible to an early occurrence of decay and dieback symptoms. A loss of productivity is often observed in older permanent cordons that have been constricted in this fashion but is not unique to them. Other factors of decline, such as fungal trunk disease infection, also play a significant role in perennial wood decline. This study aimed to quantify the impact of different contributors to cordon decline, including cordon strangulation and incidence of Eutypa lata infection and to investigate their relationship to each other. A survey was conducted over two seasons at ten vineyard sites to visually assess and capture images for algorithmic analysis of vines displaying varying degrees of cordon strangulation, cordon dieback, and characteristic foliar symptoms of Eutypa dieback. Rather than finding evidence of cordon strangulation being a driving force behind cordon decline, there was actually a trend of lower severity of dieback observed, with cordons displaying the greatest degree of strangulation. There was also a trend for increased foliar symptoms in relation to an increase in the degree of strangulation, but it is difficult to assign causality in this regard, as the occurrence of foliar symptoms may be influenced by a multitude of factors, including climatic conditions. Further research quantifying the extent to which xylem morphology and functionality are compromised by constrictive pressure in severely strangled cordons could provide further insight into this condition and the effect it could have on vine health and defence response.

Published: May 2024

Wine maturation in oak barrels is a well-known winemaking practice that, among other things, brings roundness and complexity to wine. Studying wine evolution during barrel maturation is crucial to ensure wine quality. Red wines produced in a wine growing estate of the Bordeaux region were monitored after one and twelve months of maturation in oak barrels in the estate’s cellar. Wines were kept in oak casks from three different manufacturers. The evolution of the wine constituents during maturation was monitored by 1H NMR-based metabolomics combined with multivariate statistical analysis. NMR spectra were submitted to targeted and untargeted approaches. The wine maturation effects were thereby monitored and the discriminant metabolites identified. The wines analysed after one month of maturation exhibit higher contents of amino acids, catechin and epicatechin, acetoin and choline than the wines analysed twelve months after maturation; for their part, the latter wines showed higher contents of acetic acid, ethyl lactate, arabinose and glucose. In addition, significant differences were observed between the wines depending on the barrel manufacturers.
The role of rootstock and its genetic background in plant mineral status: the relationship between petiole analyses and deficiency symptoms
Authors: Morel Marine , Cookson Sarah Jane , Da Costa Jean-Pierre , Ollat Nathalie , Marguerit Elisa
Published: May 2024

Rootstocks are an important means of adapting grapevine to environmental conditions whilst conserving the typical features of scion genotypes. Rootstocks not only provide tolerance to Phylloxera, but also ensure the supply of water and mineral nutrients to the scion. We take advantage of the large diversity of rootstocks used worldwide to facilitate this adaptation. The aim of this study was to characterise rootstock regulation of scion mineral status and its relationship with scion development.Vitis vinifera cvs. Cabernet-Sauvignon, Pinot noir, Syrah and Ugni blanc were grafted onto 55 different rootstock genotypes and planted as three replicates of five plants in sandy gravelly soil near Bordeaux, France. In 2020 and 2021, petiolar concentrations of 13 mineral elements (N, P, K, S, Mg, Ca, Na, B, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu and Al) were measured at veraison. Winter pruning weight, shoot vigour, leaf chlorophyll content, bud fertility and yield were measured. Magnesium deficiency severity was visually scored for each plant. Rootstocks were grouped according to their Vitis parentage background when at least 50 % of a Vitis species was present in order to determine whether the petiole mineral composition could be related to the rootstock genetic parentage.Scion, rootstock, and their interactions had a significant influence on petiole mineral content and explained the same proportion of phenotypic variance for most mineral elements. Rootstock effect explained 9, 28 and 45 % of the mineral content variance for N, Mg and S respectively. This unique experimental design showed that the rootstock effect was higher than the scion effect on the petiole concentration of a large majority of mineral elements. The genetic background V. riparia increased the probability of low petiolar P and Mg contents. The severity of Mg deficiency symptoms varied depending on the rootstock. The differences in mineral status conferred by rootstocks were not significantly correlated with vigour or fertility.The evaluation of Mg levels by petiole analysis and the intensity of deficiency symptoms showed for the first time the variability of the thresholds of satisfactory mineral nutrition between rootstocks. Therefore, fertiliser management should take the rootstock variety into account.
Mapping gas–phase CO2 in the headspace of two champagne glasses through infrared laser absorption spectroscopy: ŒnoXpert glass versus INAO glass

Published: May 2024

Champagne wines are complex hydroalcoholic mixtures supersaturated with dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2). During tasting, while serving the champagne in a glass and for the few minutes that follow, the headspace of the glass is progressively invaded by many chemical species, including gas–phase CO2 (likely to disrupt the perception of the wine’s bouquet beyond a certain threshold). Real-time monitoring of gas–phase CO2 was performed through tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy along a multipoint network in the headspace of two champagne glasses showing distinct shapes and volume capacities (namely, the standard 21 cL INAO glass and the brand new 45 cL ŒnoXpert glass, designed by the Union of French Oenologists as a universal glass for the tasting of still and sparkling wines). From the start of the pouring stage and during the several minutes following, a kind of glass type-dependent CO2 footprint was revealed in the headspace of glasses, which was discussed based on the glass geometry and headspace volume. For an identical volume of champagne dispensed in both glasses, the headspace of ŒnoXpert was found to retain gaseous CO2 more efficiently over time than INAO glass does. Therefore, and extrapolating to aromatic compounds, the chemical space of the ŒnoXpert glass should be better preserved throughout the tasting than that of the INAO glass. Moreover, by reducing the volume of champagne served in the glass, the time-dependent CO2 footprint is significantly reduced in the glass headspace, thus reducing the risk of carbon dioxide burn during tasting.

Plug-and-Play: An Efficient Post-training Pruning Method for Large Language Models
Authors: Zhang Yingtao , Bai Haoli , Lin Haokun , Zhao Jialin , Hou Lu , Cannistraci Carlo Vittorio
Published: May 2024

With the rapid growth of large language models (LLMs), there is increasing demand for memory and computation in LLMs. Recent efforts on post-training pruning of LLMs aim to reduce the model size and computation requirements, yet the performance is still sub-optimal. In this paper, we present a plug-and-play solution for post-training pruning of LLMs. The proposed solution has two innovative components: 1) Relative Importance and Activations (RIA), a new pruning metric that jointly considers the weight and activations efficiently on LLMs; and 2) Channel Permutation, a new approach to maximally preserve important weights under N:M sparsity. The two proposed components can be readily combined to further enhance the N:M semi-structured pruning of LLMs. Our empirical experiments show that RIA alone can already surpass all existing post-training pruning methods on prevalent LLMs, e.g., LLaMA ranging from 7B to 65B. Furthermore, N:M semi-structured pruning with channel permutation can even outperform the original LLaMA2-70B on zero-shot tasks, together with practical speed-up on specific hardware.

Published: May 2024

The Lower Mekong Basin has had extensive hydropower dam development, which changes hydrologic conditions and threatens the exceptional aquatic biodiver-sity. This study quantifies the degree of hydrologic change between pre-impact (1965-1968) and post-impact (2018-2021) peak hydropower development in two major tributaries of the Lower Mekong Basin, the Sekong River with the fewest dams and the Sesan River with the most dams. Both rivers historically supported migratory fishes. We use daily pre- and post-impact data and the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration framework to evaluate streamflow changes from dam development. We found signifi-cant changes in low and high magnitude flows in the pre- and post-impact periods of dam development. For the Sekong River, minimum flow had large fluctuations that ranged 290% to 412% more than the pre-impact period, while the Sesan River ranged 120% to 160% more than pre-impact. Dry season flows increased by 200±63% on av-erage in the Sekong River, which is caused by releases from upstream dams. Mean-while, Sesan River dry season flows increased by 100±55% on average. This study in-dicates that seasonal flow changes and extreme flow events occurred more frequently in the two basins following dam construction, which may threaten the ecosystem func-tions.

Published: May 2024

This paper addresses the capability to alter the wettability characteristics of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) polymer films doped with glycerol. Films of PVA and glycerol-choline chloride (GCC) blends have been prepared by solution casting method with different glycerol dopants ranging from 0% to 10% (wt %). The results show that as the dopant content increases from 0% to 10%, the wettability increases and hence increases the surface energy of the solid film. The wettability changes are observed by identifying the contact angle of 10 µL deionized water droplet which altered from 55o to 28o as dopant content changed from 0% to 10% per PVA solution weight. The results show that the roughness of film surfaces increases as the content of dopant (GCC) increases in the film which indicates that roughness has a strong influence on the wettability of the casted films.
The Importance of Green Investments in Developed Economies—MCDM Models for Achieving Adequate Green Investments
Authors: Ristanović Vladimir , Primorac Dinko , Dorić Barbara
Published: May 2024

Green investments help to create less harmful alternatives and adequate funds that contribute to economic growth, sustainable development, and social well-being. The applied methods are empirical and analytical based on the study of literature, multi-criteria modelling, determination of weights, and ranking of criteria in deciding green investments mapping of indicators, and monitoring of progress towards green growth through official OECD data. The analysis uses official sources on indicators related to the green economy and the environment. Multi-criteria decision-models (MCDM) were used to select adequate green investments, where instead of indicators from the official OECD-database, investors use the areas in which the indicators are distributed. According to the findings of AHP, half of the investments in the green economy come from public sources (0.51), and the other half are private (0.25), and institutional investors (0.24). While, BWM reveals that the best criterion for the decision to invest in the green economy is the environmental and resource productivity of the economy, and the worst is the base of natural assets. This paper aims to enable decision-makers to use these results as weights for the overall assessment of green investments in ESG and to simplify the decision-making approach in future analyses.

This study utilizes data from the fourth National Health Survey conducted in 2019. in the Republic of Serbia, aiming to contribute to a deeper understanding of the factors influencing the mobility of the elderly population. It examines the sociodemographic and psychosocial factors associated with functional limitations in older adults. By analyzing variables such as age, gender, marital status, education, income, social support, and mental health, the study seeks to explain their impact on the prevalence of walking limitations.Questionnaires were employed as a research instrument in line with the methodology of the European Health Survey (EHIS). The analysis is based on a sample of 3,705 participants aged 65 and above. Statistical significance between variables was assessed using the Chi-square test. Post-hoc comparisons were performed using pairwise z-tests. Univariate logistic regression was employed to identify predictors of walking difficulties. Additionally, multivariable logistic regression was conducted to further explore predictors while adjusting for potential confounding variables, with odds ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals estimated.Women exhibit significantly higher prevalence of walking difficulties compared to men (p < 0.001). There is a significant variation in the prevalence of walking difficulties among different age groups. Individuals aged 75-84 show the highest prevalence in all categories of walking difficulties, with particular significance in the categories of "no difficulty," "some difficulty," and "unable to walk at all" (p < 0.001). Higher levels of education generally correlate with lower prevalence of walking difficulties. Married or partnered individuals have 0.522 times lower odds of reporting difficulties in walking compared to singles (p < 0.05). Individuals with lower wealth index (1-Least affluent) have significantly higher prevalence of walking difficulties.This knowledge can inform targeted interventions to enhance mobility and improve the overall well-being of older individuals.
Endogenous Determinants of Innovation in the State of Duration and Organisational Change. Research of Silesian NGOs
Authors: Weryński Piotr , Dolińska-Weryńska Dorota
Published: May 2024

The innovativeness of nongovernmental organisations, the basic institutions of civil society, is conditioned, among other things, by the endogenous potential of agency of the entities operating within them. The article attempts to answer two research questions regarding the above-mentioned issues: (1) how individual components of binding and bridging social capital (in the area of trust, norms and connections) determine innovative activity in a state of morphostasis, i.e. structural and cultural continuity, selected Silesian NGOs. (2) What type of reflexivity and the related nature of agency of the members of the NGOs surveyed dominates when undertaking innovative activities? At the theoretical level, the study was based on the concept of three components of social capital by James S. Coleman and the assumptions of Margaret Archer's morphogenetic theory of structure and agency, in particular, the types of reflexivity as a factor conditioning social agency. Based on them and using qualitative analysis of data obtained during focus group interviews (FGI) and SWOT questionnaires of surveyed organisations, a diagnosis of intraorganisational barriers to innovation was made. The Atlas.ti computer programme was used. This method allows for the examination of structural elements, cultural features of a given organisation, and the capabilities of individual entities. The dominance of bonding social capital components over bridging social capital components was noted (mainly in the dimension of trust), as the basic bond connecting members of the NGOs studied. It was accompanied by a communicative type of reflexivity of the respondents, with the aim of maintaining the existing organisational and social status quo. These key socio-cultural factors determine the morphostatic nature of the organisations studied, i.e., their focus on maintaining the organisational status quo. Such contexts petrify the existing power structure, but also the level of social tensions and distances, and limit the innovation potential.

Authors: Villalobos José de Jesús , Rojo Edgar , Ledezma Diego , Lopez Pedro
Published: May 2024

In this work, the structural dynamics of a commercial quadrotor was investigated, which presents problems of lateral stability or sliding instead of remaining self-leveling through its autonomous control system. The possible existence of vibrations motivated the characterization of the frequency response of the arms and propellers by means of the frequency response function (FRF) using the impact hammer technique. The experimental results provided sufficient information for the future implementation of structural solutions or through reprogramming in the autonomous control algorithm that compensates or mitigates the negative effect of vibration levels due to resonance phenomenon and improves the stability in self-leveling condition of the quadrotor.

The countries that have the strongest international cooperation for research in this field are the USA, England, Australia and China. Results: After examining the literature in the field of patient safety in nursing through bibliometric analysis, it is seen that themes such as patient safety, medication errors, nursing care, nursing, education, systematic review, quality care and leadership were emphasized as important considerations.
The Immune System – Friend or Foe for Adenovirus Based Therapies?
Authors: Wallace Rebecca , Bliss Carly M , Parker Alan L
Published: May 2024

Pathogenic adenovirus (Ad) infections are widespread but typically mild and transient, except in the immunocompromised. As vectors for gene therapy, vaccine and oncology applications, Ad based platforms offer advantages including ease of genetic manipulation, scale of production and well established safety profiles, making them attractive tools for therapeutic development. However, the immune system often poses a significant challenge that may need to be overcome for adenovirus based therapies to be truly efficacious. Both pre-existing anti-Ad immunity in the population as well as the rapid development of an immune response against engineered adenoviral vectors can have detrimental effects upon the downstream impact of an adenovirus-based therapeutic. This review focusses on the different challenges posed, including pre-existing natural immunity and anti-vector immunity induced by a therapeutic, both in context of the innate and adaptive immune responses. We summarize different approaches developed with the aim of tackling these problems, as well as their outcomes and potential future applications.

Published: May 2024

A smart water quality monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm was designed to protect water resources from pollution in real-time. Long-range (LoRa) application of the low-power, wide-area networking (LPWAN) concept has become a phenomenon in IoT smart monitoring applications. This study proposes the implementation of a LoRa network in a water quality monitoring system-based IoT approach. The LoRa nodes were embedded with measuring sensors pH, turbidity, temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS), and dissolved oxygen (DO), in the designated water station. It operates at a transmission power of 14 dB and a bandwidth of 125 kHz. The network properties were tested with two different antenna gains of 2.1 dBi and 3 dBi with three different spread factors (SF) of 7, 9, and 12. The water stations were located at Sungai Pantai and Sungai Anak Air Batu, both rivers on the Universiti Malaya campus. Following a dashboard display and K-means analysis of the water quality data received by the LoRa gateway, it was determined that both rivers are Class II B rivers. The results from the evaluation of LoRa performance on the Received Strength Signal Indicator (RSSI), Signal Noise Ratio (SNR), loss packet, and path loss at best were -83 dBm, 7 dB, < 0%, and 64.41 dB, respectively, with a minimum received sensitivity of -129.1 dBm. LoRa has demonstrated its efficiency in an urban environment for smart river monitoring purposes.

Nevelési és oktatási dilemmák a magyar jelnyelv elmúlt 20 éves történetében
Authors: Muzsnai István
Published: May 2024

A tanulmány áttekintést ad arról, hogy az elmúlt húsz év milyen jelentős változásokat hozott a magyar jelnyelvben. Ismerteti a kérdés jogi hátterének az alakulását, a téma legjelentősebb kutatásait és ezek eredményeit. Betekintést nyújt a bilingvális oktatásról alkotott álláspontok és attitűdök magyarországi változásába, továbbá kiemeli és elemzi egy, a siket tanulók nevelésével-oktatásával foglalkozó speciális iskola pedagógiai programjának a siket gyermekek nyelvfejlesztésével és a jelnyelvvel kapcsolatos elemeit. Megállapítható, hogy a magyar jelnyelv vonatkozásában a nyelvész szakemberek kiemelkedő munkát végeztek, és jelentős eredményeket értek el a két évtized alatt, továbbá hogy a jelnyelv nyelvi státuszának az elfogadása törvényi szinten megtörtént. A siketoktatással foglalkozó intézményekben azonban a bilingvális oktatás bevezetésével és megszilárdításával kapcsolatban még számtalan feladat vár a pedagógusokra, gyógypedagógusokra és más érintett szakemberekre.
A nyelvjárási beszéd megítélése a pedagógusok körében
Authors: Németh Miklós
Published: May 2024

A tanulmány témája a pedagógusok viszonyulása azokhoz a tanítványaikhoz, akik nyelvjárási változatot használnak alapnyelvváltozatként. A Szögedi Szociolingvisztikai Interjú visszaemlékezései és a szerző által összegyűjtött 2010-es évekbeli esetek is azt mutatják, hogy a magyar pedagógusok egy része nincsen fölkészítve arra, hogyan bánjon a nyelvjárást beszélő tanítványával. A bemutatott esetek az oktatási rendszer teljes tartományát felölelik az óvodától a felsőoktatásig. A tanulmány a probléma ismertetése mellett arról is szól, hogy a tanárképzés mely pontjain lenne érdemes beszélni a problémakörről annak érdekében, hogy az újabb tanárgenerációk ne kövessék el ugyanazokat a hibákat, amelyeket elődeik.

Tanító metaforák a mondattan oktatásában
Authors: András Imrényi
Published: May 2024

A tanulmány célja olyan tanító metaforák bemutatása, amelyek a magyarórán folyó mondatszerkezeti elemzést szemléletesebbé tehetik, átfogó képet adva a diákoknak a mondatról. A magyar közoktatásban elterjedt függőségi nyelvtani mondatelemzéshez jól illeszkedik Brassai Sámuel két tanító metaforája (a mondat mint feudális társadalom; a mondat mint naprendszer) és a francia Lucien Tesnière metaforái (a mondat mint színpadi előadás; a mondatszerkezeti viszonyok mint valenciaviszonyok). A tanulmány röviden szól arról is, amit a szerző kerülendőnek vél: a mondat építőkockaelvű megközelítéséről.

Predación de jaguares y pumas sobre animales domésticos en el sur del departamento de Córdoba, Colombia
Authors: Racero-Casarrubia Javier , Ortiz-Hoyos Ricardo D. , Hyde Matthew , Argel-Fernández Arnold , Figel Joe F.
Published: May 2024

La prevención y mitigación de los conflictos con el hombre son prioritarias para la conservación de los grandes carnívoros. La caza por venganza tras la depredación del ganado es una de las principales amenazas para el jaguar (Panthera onca) y el puma (Puma concolor) en América. Se consultaron registros de informes gubernamentales, agencias de recursos naturales, medios de comunicación y observaciones de campo para caracterizar el conflicto entre humanos y grandes felinos en el Parque Nacional Natural Paramillo de Colombia. Entre 2007 y 2022, se reportaron 37 eventos de depredación de grandes felinos sobre perros domésticos y ganado, de los cuales el 84 % correspondió a ataques de jaguares.  Se encontró que los animales más depredados, en orden de ataques, fueron cerdos, perros, ovejas y vacas. Los excesos de matanza (es decir, > 1 animal atacado en un evento de depredación) representaron el 61 % de todos los eventos de depredación. Los principales obstáculos para el manejo son la insuficiencia de personal para verificar la depredación y la falta de protocolos operativos claros. Finalmente, se identifican estrategias para reducir el riesgo de depredación y mejorar la gestión actual.

A review of selective indoor residual spraying for malaria control

Published: May 2024

Background
Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is one of the most effective malaria control tools. However, its application has become limited to specific contexts due to the increased costs of IRS products and implementation programs. Selective spraying – selective spray targeted to particular areas/surfaces of dwellings – has been proposed to maintain the malaria control and resistance-management benefits of IRS while decreasing the costs of the intervention.
Methods
A literature search was conducted to find 1) studies that assessed the resting behaviour of Anophelesmosquitoes and 2) studies that evaluated the impact of selective spraying on entomological and malaria outcomes. Additional articles were identified through hand searches of all references cited in articles identified through the initial search. A cost model was developed from PMI VectorLink IRS country programs, and comparative cost analysis reports to analyze the overall cost benefits of selective IRS.
Results
In some studies, there appeared to be a clear resting preference for certain Anopheles species in terms of the height at which they rested. However, for other species, and particularly the major African malaria vectors, a clear resting pattern was not detected. Furthermore, resting behavior was not measured in a standardized way.
For the selective spray studies that were assessed, there was a wide range of spray configurations, which complicates the comparison of methods. Many of these spray techniques were effective and resulted in reported 25-68% cost savings and reduced use of insecticide. The reported cost savings in the literature do not always consider all of the IRS implementation costs. Using the IRS cost model, these savings ranged from 17-29% for programs that targeted Anopheles sp. and 18-41% for programs that targeted Aedes aegypti.
Conclusions
Resting behavior is generally measured in a simplistic way; noting the resting spot of mosquitoes in the morning. This is likely an oversimplification, and there is a need for better monitoring of resting mosquitoes. This may improve the target surface for selective spray techniques, which could reduce the cost of IRS while maintaining its effectiveness. Reporting of cost savings should be calculated considering the entire implementation costs, and we provide a cost model for future calculations.
