ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ ЦИФРОВИХ ІНСТРУМЕНТІВ У НАВЧАННІ ХІМІЇ
Authors: Сняла Юлія
Published: April 2023

У статті розглянуто можливості та переваги застосування цифрових інструментів на заняттях з хімії. Виокремлено окремі напрями використання онлайн-сервісів при викладанні хімії: для візуалізації при поясненні нового матеріалу, для моделювання хімічних об’єктів, для створення віртуальної та доповненої реальності, для проведення лабораторних робіт, для створення дидактичних ігор, ментальних карт, для контролю знань. Описано основні цифрові інструменти, що можуть бути використані на заняттях з хімії. Наведено приклади цифрових вправ, симуляцій, ігор, ментальних карт, вікторин, інтерактивних аркушів, кросвордів. Визначено педагогічні завдання, які можна вирішити за допомогою онлайн-інструментів. Застосування сучасних цифрових освітніх ресурсів дозволяє викладачу інтенсифікувати навчальний процес, візуалізувати теоретичний матеріал, зробити заняття з хімії наочними, цікавими, інтерактивними, організувати самостійну роботу здобувачів освіти, побачити індивідуальний розвиток кожної дитини, забезпечити між учасниками освітнього процесу постійний обмін інформацією. Онлайн-сервіси для створення віртуальних лабораторних робіт дозволяють краще зрозуміти суть усіх процесів, встановити причинно-наслідкові зв’язки, побачити зв’язок хімії з життям, сформувати практичні навички виконання хімічного експерименту. Цифрові ресурси допомагають отримати об’єктивну картину рівня навчальних досягнень в цілому для всієї групи і для кожного здобувача освіти окремо. Вони посилюють мотивацію до вивчення хімії, дозволяють сформувати інформаційно-цифрову компетентність та підвищити ефективність навчального процесу. Крім того, вивчаючи нові інструменти для створення онлайн-вправ, викладач разом із здобувачами освіти також вдосконалює свої навички роботи з інформаційно-комунікаційними технологіями. Створивши певну онлайн-вправу, її можна використовувати безліч разів і з будь-якого пристрою, що спрощує підготовку до заняття в майбутньому. Оскільки сучасна освіта перебуває в процесі оновлення та інформатизації, викладачам необхідно активно впроваджувати в навчальний процес цифрові ресурси з метою створення модернізованого цифрового освітнього середовища.
Obavezno socijalno osiguranje radnika u jugoslovenskoj kraljevini 1922–1939.

The paper analyses the implementation of workers’ insurance in the Yugoslav kingdom from 1922 to 1939. The Law on Workers’ Insurance of 1922 provided the legal frame not only for sickness, accident, infirmity, old age and death, but also for unemployment. According to the Law, all persons who permanently or temporarily lease their physical or mental labour force were to be insured regardless of their gender, age and citizenship. Based on the comparison of the number of workers covered by the legal obligation of insurance and the number of actually insured workers, the real scope of the Law on Workers’ Insurance can be assessed.

There are prominent sex/gender differences in the prevalence, expression and lifespan course of mental health and neurodiverse conditions. Yet the underlying sex and gender related mechanisms and their interactions are still not fully understood. This lack of knowledge has harmful consequences for those suffering from mental health problems. Hence, we set up a co-creation session in a one-week workshop with a multidisciplinary team of 25 researchers, clinicians and policy makers, to identify the main barriers in sex and gender research in neuroscience of mental health. Based on this work, we here provide recommendations for methodologies, translational research and stakeholder involvement. These include guidelines for recording, reporting, analysis beyond binary groups, and open science. Improved understanding of sex and gender related mechanisms in neuroscience may benefit public health as this is an important step towards precision medicine and may function as an archetype for studying diversity.

हाशियाकृत अस्मिताओं से संवाद (समय से संवाद: जन विकल्प संचयिता की समीक्षा)
Authors: Kumar Ajit
Published: April 2023

‘समय से संवाद: जन विकल्प संचयिता’ मासिक पत्रिका ‘जन विकल्प’ में प्रकाशित चुनिन्दा लेखों और साक्षात्कारों का संकलन है। इस पत्रिका का प्रकाशन पटना से जनवरी, 2007 में आरम्भ हुआ था और उसी वर्ष दिसंबर में इसका अंतिम अंक प्रकाशित हुआ। इस अवधि में पत्रिका के कुल 11 अंक प्रकाशित हुए, जिसमें से एक अंक ‘साहित्य वार्षिकी’ के रूप में प्रकाशित हुआ था। पत्रिका के संपादक-द्वय प्रेमकुमार मणि और प्रमोद रंजन थे। पत्रिका अल्पजीवी रही; लेकिन उसने हिंदी की वैचारिक दुनिया में गहरा हस्तक्षेप किया था।इस संचयिता में कुल छः अध्याय हैं, जिनके नाम हैं- संपादकीय (जन विकल्प में प्रकाशित प्रेमकुमार मणि द्वारा लिखित टिप्पणियां), अध्ययन कक्ष, समकाल, साक्षात्कार, यवन की परी एवं परिशिष्ट।पत्रिका की वैचारिकी को समझने में प्रमोद रंजन द्वारा लिखी गयी पुस्तक की भूमिका- “जन विकल्प का प्रकाशन: वह दुनिया और आज का दौर” काफ़ी उपयोगी है। रंजन बताते हैं कि “जन विकल्प का उपसर्ग ‘जन’ राममनोहर लोहिया और मार्क्सवाद का है। लोहिया ने 1950 के दशक में ‘जन’ नामक पत्रिका निकाली थी; और यह मार्क्सवाद की शब्दावली का अभिन्न हिस्सा भी है।” इस प्रकार यह पत्रिका समाजवाद और मार्क्सवाद का अनूठा संगम तो थी ही, उसका विकल्प भी देने की कोशिश कर रही थी।पत्रिका के बारे में रंजन ने लिखा है कि “जन विकल्प के प्रकाशन का समय इक्कीसवीं सदी की अंगड़ाई का समय था। बाज़ार का भूमंडलीकरण तीसरी दुनिया के देशों में पसर रहा था। भारत में एक ओर नया मध्यमवर्ग फलफूल रहा था, तो दूसरी ओर राजनीति, धर्म और वैश्वीकृत बाज़ार की जुगलबंदी गहरी होती जा रही थी। दुनिया को देखने के लिए अब भी मार्क्स और लोहिया की विचार-पद्धति मददगार थी, लेकिन हम यह भी देख सकते थे कि उनके नाम पर बने सम्प्रदाय और पीठ– मसलन, मार्क्सवादी और लोहियावादी राजनीतिक दल मौज़ूदा समस्याओं को समझने में असफल हो रहे हैं। ऐसे में विकल्प की बात सोचना स्वाभाविक था।”पत्रिका में भूमंडलीकरण और विभिन्न राजनीतिक विकल्पों पर लगातार सामग्री प्रकाशित हुई। पत्रिका की संपादकीय समझ थी कि भूमंडलीकरण को रोका नहीं जा सकता, बल्कि देखना चाहिए कि आम जन के पक्ष में इसका क्या और कैसे उपयोग हो सकता है। इसलिए पत्रिका ने भूमंडलीकरण पर हिंदी में मची हाय-हाय को तवज्जो नहीं दी। इस पुस्तक में भी पत्रिका से चुनी गयीं ऐसी अनेक सामग्री संकलित हैं, जो भूमंडलीकरण के बेहतर तत्त्वों को आत्मसात करने पर बल देती है।

Cognitive effects of virtual reality therapy on pre-clinical adults
Authors: Dutra Nicholas
Published: April 2023

Research has shown that the application of Virtual Reality (VR) technology can provide significant value to advancing neurorehabilitation in adults. VR is a breakthrough technology that uses various interfaces to place patients in a computer-generated world. VR technology transcends the limitations of current neuroscientific methodologies where patients can be immersed in a realistic enriched environment that is safe and expansive, which may not be practical in daily life. A pre-clinical or mild cognitive impaired patient may benefit from VR technology as an effective preventative tool and provide much-needed research on neurodegeneration in adults, compared to a cognitively impaired patient who may suffer from neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or traumatic brain injury and strokes. However, there is a need for further advancement and research on VR technologies' effects on pre-clinical and mildly cognitively impaired adults. It is imperative to further research on new methodologies and technology to improve the way we care for cognitively impaired adults and potentially reverse the decline in early onset patients who suffer from these diseases.

In Support of Universal Admission Testing for SARS-CoV-2 During Significant Community Transmission
Authors: Rhee Chanu , Klompas Michael , Pak Theodore R. , Koehler Julia
Published: April 2023

Many hospitals have stopped or are considering stopping universal admission testing for SARS-CoV-2. We discuss reasons why admission testing should still be part of a layered system to prevent hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections during times of significant community transmission. These include the morbidity of SARS-CoV-2 in vulnerable patients, the predominant contribution of presymptomatic and asymptomatic people to transmission, the high rate of transmission between patients in shared rooms, and the data suggesting surveillance testing is associated with fewer nosocomial infections. Preferences of diverse patient populations, particularly the hardest hit communities, should be surveyed and used to inform prevention measures. Hospitals’ ethical responsibility to protect patients from serious infections should predominate over concerns about costs, labor, and inconvenience. We call for more rigorous data on the incidence and morbidity of nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 infections and more research to help determine when to start, stop, and restart universal admission testing and other prevention measures.

The Impact of Rapid Guessing on Model Fit and Factor-Analytic Reliability: An Exploratory Analysis
Authors: Martinez Alfonso J. , Rios Joseph
Published: April 2023

Rapid guessing (RG) is form of non-effortful responding whereby examinees provide a response in a timeframe that is incommensurate with the amount of time needed to thoroughly engage with the item. Previous research has found that RG leads to biased parameter estimates, biased ability estimates, and measurement non-invariance if not properly accounted for. The consequences of RG on model fit and factor-analytic reliability (MF&R), however, are not well understood. To address this gap in the literature, the present study explores the effects of rapid guessing on model fit and reliability across a corpus of 20 diverse low-stakes assessments. Three RG scoring approaches (Naïve, Penalized, Effort-moderated with imputation) were compared across four model fit indices (CFI, TLI, RMSEA, SRMR) and two reliability coefficients (McDonald’s omega and Cronbach’s alpha). We found evidence that model fit is influenced by choice of scoring procedure, with the effort-moderated with imputation method producing better model fit than naïve and penalized scoring procedures when RG rates were greater. RG was also found to differentially impact reliability indices, however no systematic trends across scoring method and RG rates emerged. Implications of the research, recommendations for practitioners, and a discussion of future directions are discussed.
Experimental evidence suggests intergroup relations are, by default, neutral rather than aggressive
Authors: Imada Hirotaka , Mifune Nobuhiro
Published: April 2023

The target article offers a game-theoretical analysis of primitive intergroup aggression (i.e., raiding) and discusses difficulties in achieving peace. We argue the analysis does not capture the actual strategy space, missing out “do-nothing”. Experimental evidence robustly showed people prefer doing nothing against out-group members over cooperating with/attacking them. Thus, the target article overestimates the likelihood of intergroup aggression.
Early social communication through music: State of the art and future perspectives
Authors: Nguyen Trinh , Flaten Erica , Trainor Laurel , Novembre Giacomo
Published: April 2023

A growing body of research shows that the universal capacity for music perception and production emerges early in development. Possibly building on this predisposition, caregivers around the world often communicate with infants using songs or speech entailing song-like characteristics. This suggests that music might be one of the earliest developing and most accessible forms of interpersonal communication, providing a platform for studying early communicative behavior. However, little research has examined music in truly communicative contexts. The current work aims to facilitate the development of experimental approaches that rely on dynamic and naturalistic social interactions. We first review two longstanding lines of research that examine musical interactions by focusing either on the caregiver or the infant. These include defining the acoustic and non-acoustic features that characterize infant-directed (ID) music, as well as behavioral and neurophysiological research examining infants’ processing of musical timing and pitch. Next, we review recent studies looking at early musical interactions holistically. This research focuses on how caregivers and infants interact using music to achieve co-regulation, mutual engagement, and increase affiliation and prosocial behavior. We conclude by discussing methodological, technological, and analytical developments that might empower a comprehensive study of musical communication in early childhood.

The fragility of implicit evaluation updating: The role of cognitive and ecological constraints
Authors: Kurdi Benedek , Mann Thomas Cornell , Axt Jordan , Ferguson Melissa J.
Published: April 2023

Although negative implicit (automatic) evaluations of even well-known social targets can show remarkable temporary shifts toward positivity, such shifts rarely persist over time. Here we report 9 experiments (8 preregistered; n = 2,717) that used novel social targets to investigate two potential explanations for the intransigence of implicit evaluations: cognitive constraints reflecting a fundamental inability of implicit evaluations to adaptively and enduringly incorporate new information vs. ecological constraints reflecting moderately negative but ubiquitous cues present in one’s environment. In Exp. 1–2, we identified two procedures that used diagnostic behavioral information to successfully overturn experimentally created negative implicit (AMP) evaluations of a novel target. In Exp. 3, negative-to-positive changes induced by these procedures persisted without any decrement over a 2-day delay, thus militating against the possibility of cognitive constraints on durable implicit evaluation updating. However, in line with the ecological constraint hypothesis, when participants were exposed to moderately negative information with limited diagnosticity on day 3, implicit evaluations became markedly negative (Exp. 4, 5A, and 5C). Such return of early negativity generalized across initial learning modalities and types of subsequent ecological cues (Exp. 6) but not to explicit evaluations (Exp. 4–6). Together, the present data suggest that although implicit evaluations are cognitively capable of changing in the long term, even moderately negative information present in the environment can easily undermine interventions designed to create implicit evaluation change. We discuss implications for the basic nature of implicit social cognitive processes and the possibility of successful debiasing interventions.
A Cognitive Account of the Puzzle of Ideography
Authors: Arsiwalla Xerxes D.
Published: April 2023

In this commentary piece to 'The Puzzle of Ideography' by Morin, we put forth a new cognitive account of the puzzle of ideography, that complements the standardization account of Morin. Efficient standardization of spoken language is phenomenologically attributed to a modality effect coupled with chunking of cognitive representations, further aided by multi-sensory integration and the serialized nature of attention. These cognitive mechanisms are crucial for explaining why languages dominate graphic codes for general-purpose human communication.
Influence of Language Coaching Techniques on Undergraduate Students’ Motivation in the Process of Foreign Languages Teaching at Non-linguistic Specialties
Authors: Zablotska Lyubov , Olendr Tetiana , Tsar Iryna
Published: April 2023

The application of coaching techniques is popular in the worldwide practice of specialist training and is used in various fields. However, the problem of introduction of coaching technniques in foreign languages learning in Ukraine remains insufficiently covered and requires a more detailed study. This paper aimed to study the influence of language coaching techniques (LCT) on undergraduate students’ motivation in the process of foreign language teaching at non-linguistic specialties. The study sought to answer the main research questions: 1.What effect would LCT have on undergraduate students’ motivation to learn foreign languages at Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University (TNPU) in Ukraine? 2. How will the students perceive LCT while learning languages? The research employs qualitative methods (scientific observations, analysis of student activity results) to substantiate research theoretical grounds; quantitative metods (testing and self-assessment reviews) to identify the efficacy of LCT, communicative methods (conversations, discussions), and methods of mathematical analysis to do calculations of the collected research data. The conducted experiment involved randomly chosen 62 second-year students of the first (bachelor) higher education level of non-linguistic specialties of TNPU. The study concluded that the applied LCT at foreign language classes during the experiment provided positive dynamics in the growth of students’ motivation to knowledge acquisition. The findings would have practical significance for teachers of foreign languages who want to organize the learning process and make it more effective.
Exploring Lexico-Grammatical Patterns in Saudi Press Reportage: A Multidimensional Analysis
Authors: Ali Sadia , Alir Muhammad
Published: April 2023

This study seeks to investigate patterns of linguistic variation in Saudi press reportage, revealing how the language of press reportage in Saudi Arabia differs from or resembles that of British press reportage. This research is significant as no previous study has attempted to find the differences and similarities between the English used in Saudi press reportage in comparison with British Press reportage. This study aims to analyze linguistic variation between the categories of Saudi press reportage of the selected countries and to see which category of the news resembles British English the most. For this purpose, a corpus of Saudi newspaper reportage was compiled. Biber’s (1992, 2006) multidimensional model explored the linguistic variations among the Saudi and British press reportage sub-categories. ANOVA was applied to measure the significant statistical differences among them. The results indicated that Saudi business reportage is the most informational, narrative, and explicit among all the sub-categories of British press reportage and the rest of the sub-categories of Saudi press reportage. Saudi sports reportage is the most non-argumentative, and British business reportage is the most abstract among other sub-categories. The results provided substantial evidence that English used in Saudi press reportage is a distinct register indicating that Saudi English is a different variety of English. This study will support the pedagogical practices regarding English for academic purposes and in academic language teaching classrooms.

Territoriality from the Sea: Political Action in a World of Vanishing Exteriority
Authors: Mann Itamar
Published: April 2023

The old idea in international law according to which a ship is the territory of its flag state has long been discredited; as explained in the Danish Company Tax Liability Case (Germany 1971), “this […] would mean that the air space above the ship, “territorial waters” of at least three nautical miles around the ship as well as the water column and the interior of the earth around it, would all have to be considered as part of the “floating territory”.”1 This essay proceeds from the reverse postulation, namely that in a certain sense, territory is an anchored ship. I do not mean to say that we should abide by the law of the sea when standing on firm land (equipping every locomotive with life jackets would be silly). But analytically, territory should be relativized and understood as a process rather than a given fact; much like a ship is characterized by varying legal regimes along its maritime journey.

The Effect of Blogs on Jordanian EFL Eighth-grade Students’ Achievement in English
Authors: Al-Maharmah Hamza , Al-Saudi Jibrel
Published: April 2023

This quasi-experimental study assesses the usefulness of blogs as teaching and learning tools for the EFL at Jordanian schools in Amman. The study focuses on the increased significance of the English language for the international competence of Jordan and its workforce. The study also assesses the benefits that blogs can provide for eighth-grade students. To answer the question of what effect do blogs have on improving reading and writing skills, the researchers used a sample of students from two schools in Amman, and undertook a quasi-experimental study by applying a pretest-posttest design. The researchers selected a sample of 72 eighth-grade EFL students in Amman and divided them into control and experimental groups. The regular EFL curriculum was administered in both groups, but supported with a blog component for the experimental group. The results indicated a significant improvement in the students’ reading comprehension skills and writing competence when using blogs. The study recommends that teachers promote active participation of the students on blogs.
Electoral Dynamics, Nationalist Ideology, and Party Positions on Syrian Refugees in Turkey
Authors: Secen Sefa , Al Serhun , Arslan Bekir
Published: April 2023

Why do seemingly similar political parties adopt different positions on the same issue? We answer this question by studying different approaches of dominant nationalist parties to Syrian refugees in Turkey under the new presidential system. Drawing on an original Twitter dataset and party manifestos, we argue that new electoral dynamics and the rise of urban-liberal nationalism as an alternative to rural-conservative nationalism have contributed to the divergence in nationalist parties’ approaches to refugees in recent years. The findings of this paper are threefold. First, pre-electoral alliance loyalties constrain nationalist parties’ discourses about refugees. Second, when the electoral salience of refugee issues increases, the convergence between dominant pre-electoral alliances’ positions might motivate a strategic opening/niche in the political space. Third, urbanization leads to the rise of contradictory forms of nationalism in cities: civic-liberal and ethnic-nativist, affecting the discursive strategies of nationalist party elites toward immigrants and refugees.
Keynes, Ramsey, and Pragmatism: A Comment
Authors: Bateman Bradley W.
Published: April 2023

In his response to my essay in the recent symposium celebrating the centenary of John Maynard Keynes’s Treatise on Probability (Bateman 2021), Bill Gerrard (2022) offers a comprehensive critique of my argument that Keynes was influenced by Frank Ramsey’s turn to pragmatism. Gerrard’s comments cut both ways: on the one hand, he agrees that Ramsey’s turn to pragmatism influenced Keynes, but argues that I do not go far enough in articulating the extent of the influence; on the other hand, Gerrard argues that Keynes’s embrace of Ramsey’s subjective theory of probability has nothing to do with his acceptance of Ramsey’s pragmatism. The purpose of this short comment, however, is neither to rehearse the many ways in which I agree with Gerrard, nor to elaborate each way in which we disagree. The purpose of this comment is to address just one of my disagreements with Gerrard and to use this clarification to reiterate Keynes’s embrace of pragmatism. The disagreement on which I focus concerns the question of whether Keynes employed mathematical expectation in The General Theory. In particular, it stems from my focus on the distinction between the way that expectations about future profit are handled in Chapters Eleven and Twelve of The General Theory.
Understanding Accountability in Algorithmic Supply Chains
Authors: Cobbe Jennifer , Veale Michael , Singh Jatinder
Published: April 2023

Academic and policy proposals on algorithmic accountability often seek to understand algorithmic systems in their socio-technical context, recognising that they are produced by ‘many hands’. Increasingly, however, algorithmic systems are also produced, deployed, and used within a supply chain comprising multiple actors tied together by flows of data between them. In such cases, it is the working together of an algorithmic supply chain of different actors who contribute to the production, deployment, use, and functionality that drives systems and produces particular outcomes. We argue that algorithmic accountability discussions must consider supply chains and the difficult implications they raise for the governance and accountability of algorithmic systems. In doing so, we explore algorithmic supply chains, locating them in their broader technical and political economic context and identifying some key features that should be understood in future work on algorithmic governance and accountability (particularly regarding general purpose AI services). To highlight ways forward and areas warranting attention, we further discuss some implications raised by supply chains: challenges for allocating accountability stemming from distributed responsibility for systems between actors, limited visibility due to the accountability horizon, service models of use and liability, and cross-border supply chains and regulatory arbitrage
The Literacy Approach to Teaching Foreign Languages
Authors: Liu Ning
Published: April 2023

Foreign language teachers and researchers who specialize in content and language integrated learning (CLIL) sometimes lack a specific operational pedagogy capable of integrating both language instruction and content education. The book under review introduces a literacy approach that may assist these people in participating in this education.A synopsis of the literacy approach can assist readers of this review in efficiently gaining a comprehensive understanding of the approach. Generally, the literacy approach is divided into two phases, which are respectively dedicated to developing two broad categories of skills: reception and production. The reception phase comprises three steps viz. understanding and enjoying, observing, and analyzing; the production phase comprises two steps viz. guided production and free production. To implement a literacy approach for teaching, the teachers will need to follow a backward design rationale (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005) and considers first the expected students’ output for a social task, then evidence to prove that they have met that expectation, and finally activities and contents to scaffold their learning. A detailed explanation of how the approach works is provided below: 1) During the understanding and enjoying, instructors use pre-tasks to identify students’ potential barriers to understanding a text as well as to engage the students in the text; 2) During the observation, the students are asked to examine a text from both a textual and linguistic standpoint and to discuss how the text draws them into it; 3) During the analysis, instructors assist students in discovering the language qualities that distinguish the text as a skilled communication product; 4) During the guided production, the instructors guide the students in producing a text that is on par with the text they first enjoyed; 5) During the independent production, instructors continue to support students by guiding them to create drafts, edit drafts, and share drafts with peers, as well as guiding them to evaluate each other’s work and training them to be critical readers.
How Can I Liberate the Slaves?” The Neglected Tradition of Developmental Abolitionism
Authors: Gaiya Abel B. S.
Published: April 2023

The abolition of slavery in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was a long process. In terms of the economic views of abolitionists, there has been an excessive focus on the economic ideas of liberal abolitionists and their approach to Civilization, Christianity and Commerce. However, there was a “developmental abolitionism” which has received little attention. Afro-American Martin R. Delany and Liberian James S. Payne were writers who approached abolitionism through this developmentalism. They favored more interventionist measures at building the material power and national autonomy of black nations to undercut the power of slave-using African chiefs, to provide indigenous Africans with employment, and to undermine the profitability of slave-based cotton production in the Americas. They also implicitly and indirectly approached labor scarcity with solutions ranging from promoting labor-saving technology to cultivating national prosperity that would improve emigration to Africa or increase birth rates.
Was Jesus Crucified, and If So, When?

Published: April 2023

The historicity of Jesus himself may be certain enough, but little else concerning him is. This paper will question the historical veracity of the Gospel narratives regarding the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, asking if it took place at all, and if so, when, given that its location was as the Gospels state. It will also examine the issue of his birth, showing that Matthew’s account cannot be relied on, and Luke’s is more accurate historically

Introduction. Colombia faces a shortage of doctors that, added to multiple reports of inequitable and centralized distribution of this health personnel, has grave consequences for public health. For this reason, characterizing the medical population in Colombia is so essential. Aim. To describe the medical population and its geographical distribution in Colombia, categorizing it between general practitioners and specialists. Methodology. a descriptive cross-sectional study. We used the ReTHUS and DANE databases to carry out a descriptive analysis of medical personnel in Colombia by department, subdividing between specialist doctors and general practitioners, as well as the six primary specialties. Results. Medical personnel are concentrated in the country's main population centers, particularly the Andean region. In all departments, there are more general practitioners than specialists. Discussion. Our results are similar and are near the projections raised in previous studies. On the other hand, it is no coincidence that the departments where we find the lowest density of medical personnel have other shortcomings regarding resources and neglect of population needs. Multiple associations could be raised for these findings. It is pertinent to delve into the role of the general practitioner and their different fields of action since they represent most of the personnel available in the country. Conclusions. There is no reliable registry of medical personnel in Colombia. There is a centralization in the distribution of the registration of doctors in the country, both for the total number of doctors, general practitioners, and specialist physicians. Knowing the supply of doctors contributes to subsequent decision-making in public health policy.

The Scholarly Fingerprinting Industry

Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, Springer Nature, Wiley, and SAGE: Many researchers know that the five giant firms publish most of the world’s scholarship. Fifty years of acquisitions and journal launches have yielded a stunningly profitable oligopoly, built up from academics’ unpaid writing-and-editing labor. Their business is a form of IP rentiership—collections of title-by-title prestige monopolies that, in the case of Nature or The Lancet, underwrite a stable of spinoff journals on the logic of the Hollywood franchise. Less well-known is that Elsevier and its peers are layering a second business on top of their legacy publishing operations, fueled by data extraction. They are packaging researcher behavior, gleaned from their digital platforms, into prediction products, which they sell back to universities and other clients. Their raw material is scholars’ citations, abstracts, downloads, and reading habits, repurposed into dashboard services that, for example, track researcher productivity. Elsevier and the other oligopolist firms are fast becoming, in other words, surveillance publishers . And they are using the windfall profits from their existing APC-and-subscription business to finance their moves into predictive analytics.
Gingival Augmentation with an Alternative Gingival Grafting Technique: A Case Report
Authors: Verma Mrinalini , Malhotra Sakshi
Published: April 2023

The significance of keratinized gingiva around teeth and dental implants has long been challenged. However, certain clinical circumstances require gingival augmentation. In this case report patient having Miller's Class III gingival recession along with absence of attached gingiva in relation to malposed mandibular right central incisor was treated with free gingival graft procured from buccal gingiva. The aim was to augment keratinized tissue and attached gingiva in relation to mandibular central incisor along with esthetics. As free gingival graft procured from palate has its disadvantage of “tire-patch appearance” so graft was procured from buccal gingiva in relation to maxillary premolar area. This case was followed up till 6 months. The patient also underwent fixed orthodontic treatment, initiated 3 months after surgery. During orthodontic treatment periodontal parameters remained stable.

The purpose of this study was to determine the larvicidal effect of aqueous extracts of different parts of the Plumbago zeylanica plant on the dengue vector, Aedes aegypti. This research assessed P. zeylanica for its larvicide activity against A. aegypti larvae. Five different concentrations of hot and cold aqueous extracts of root, leaf, and stem powders of P. zeylanica were separately prepared. The larvicidal effect of these extracts was assessed against early 1st, 3rd, and 4th instar larvae of Aedes aegypti. Mosquito larvae were sampled, larval populations were monitored before and after application of aqueous extracts, and larval mortality was monitored after 12, 24, and 48 hours. Three trials were carried out under the same conditions. The percentage mortality of larvae in the sample was calculated, and the mean mortality was obtained for the 3 trials. Then the LC50 value was calculated according to the mean mortality with the SPSS package. The lowest LC50 values were obtained for the hot aqueous extracts on 1st instar larvae: root 122.74 mg/l, leaf 274.95 mg/l and stem 275.92 mg/l, 3rd instar larvae: root 129.37 mg/l, leaf 205.74 mg/l and stem 286.21 mg/l, 4th instar larvae: root 165.52 mg/l, leaf 216.89 mg/l and stem 329.94 mg/l and the root was found to have the highest larvicide activity. Finally, it was identified that by using 165.52 mg/l all three larval instar stages could be killed up to 50% and 90% with 280.921 mg/l. The present study reports that Plumbago zeylanica could serve as a potential larvicidal agent.

In present era, many lifestyle disorders are caused due to unhealthy food habits and practices, infertility is one among them. The incidence increased due to the diversified daily routine, faulty food habits, and westernisation which affects the endocrine system, physiological factors and causes irregular menstruation, ovulation disorders, PCOS, fallopian tube blockage, endometriosis, hormonal disorders and uterine abnormalities which ultimately leads to infertility. Ayurvedic explanation of ‘Viruddhahara’ is a unique concept. Acharya Charaka has mentioned Shandhya and Santana dosha[1] while listing the diseases caused due to Viruddhahara. Viruddhahara impairs Rasadhatu which leads to dushti of its upadhatu Artava. Long term practice of Viruddhahara/Unhealthy food habits causes Artavadushti, which affects ovum, menstrual blood and ovarian hormones. Viruddhahara greatly affects the Garbhasambhavasamagri. Practice of satmya Ahara and Vihara can avoid multiple causative factors of Infertility like Beeja dosha, Artava or Shukradushti, different yonivyapats. Infertility is also caused due to Mithyaachara as a complication of obesity and other diseases.
