Published: May 2023

The Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM) plays an integral role in agricultural sustainability by increasing the growth and productivity of plants. During the present study, the diversity of VAM fungi was studied in the rhizosphere of 17 medicinal plant species and the parameters, percent root colonization, spore number and diversity of VAM spores associated with the rhizosphere of medicinal plants were calculated. All the selected species were found to be mycorrhizal with varying degrees of species richness. A total of 62 morphotypes belonging to 4 genera, Glomus, Acaulospora, Sclerocystis and Gigaspora were found along with 2 unidentified genera. The spore number varied from 28.6 ± 9.864 to 326 ± 78.747 spores per 50g of soil. Percent root colonization ranged from 16.6% to 84.3% with maximum colonization in Barleria cristata L. and minimum colonization in Annona squamosa L. The genus Glomus was dominant with 32 species followed by Acaulospora (12), Gigaspora (9) and Sclerocystis (8).

Published: May 2023

Serum lipoprotein(a) is a genetically determined particle composed of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and apolipoprotein(a). It is considered to be a potential risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis and thrombosis. However, its relationship with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among coronary artery disease (CAD) subjects is still controversial. Hence the present study aimed to compare Lp(a) distribution among CAD subjects with and without T2DM and also among apparently healthy individuals. The study also aimed in finding relationship between Lp(a) level with severity of CAD among subjects with and without T2DM. Serum Lp(a) level was determined by Immunoterbidimetric assay. Syntax score data was used to know the severity of CAD which was obtained from the cardiology department. SNP rs6415084 analysis has been performed by real time PCR in all the study subjects. CAD subjects with T2DM had higher Lp(a) level and Syntax score when compared to CAD subjects without T2DM. The number of subjects with CT genotype were more compared to CC and TT genotype in the study population with CAD. Significant correlation was observed between serum Lp(a) and Syntax score among CAD subjects without T2DM having CT genotype. The study demonstrated a positive correlation between serum Lp(a) and Syntax score among CAD subjects without T2DM having CT genotype for SNP rs6415084. However, there was no significant correlation observed between serum Lp(a) level and Syntax score among CAD subjects with T2DM with SNP rs6415084.

Published: May 2023

Dehydrins are well known stress responsive proteins in plants. However, the analysis of dehydrin gene family correlating the intrinsic disordered nature with their secondary structure is lacking in wheat. The wheat genome sequence from IWGSC was used to identify 48 dehydrin genes which encode for 48 dehydrin proteins. The identified dehydrin proteins had molecular weights ranging from 9.65 kDa to 101.60 kDa. The identified proteins were named as TaDHN where Ta indicates Triticum aestivum while DHN indicated dehydrin and this was followed by predicted molecular weight and the chromosome number. PONDR database was used to predict intrinsic disordered nature in these proteins and the results revealed that all the proteins are highly disordered. Among the identified proteins, TaDHN14-6-5A showed maximum disordered nature (88.81%) whereas TaDHN28-1-6D was found to be the least disordered protein (57.25 %). The secondary structure prediction using GOR database revealed the presence of random coils, helix, sheets and turns in all the proteins. Based upon these findings, it can be asserted that this will help in genome wide analysis of dehydrins along with the functional analysis and structure modelling.
Tomato flu outbreak: An overview
Authors: Sinha Komal , Radhakrishnan Rahul , Damodharan Narayanaswamy
Published: May 2023

Tomato flu, also known as tomato fever, is a newly identified virus in India that causes high temperatures, extreme fatigue, and aches and pains. Case studies have revealed that immunocompetent people can contract the virus; therefore, this may be a new Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease strain (HFMD). Although tomato fever shows symptoms similar to COVID-19, the virus is not related to SARS-CoV. Tomato fever is a self-limiting illness and there is no specific treatment/vaccination till date. The rare viral infection is in endemic state and is considered non-life threatening. Because of the fear of emergence of fourth wave and dreadful experience of COVID-19, vigilant management is desirable to prevent spread of tomato fever.

Triazole fungicides are being widely utilized globally in the present agribusiness, however in different volumes. Although improvement is important for crops, there are severe environmental, health and safety issues associated with aquatic living biomes that integrate people and creatures. Various antagonistic effects on durability, growth and organic structures are affected by pesticides and their processing. In order to present the biosafety and toxicological highlights of poisons by hazard assessment considerations using various creature models and fish organisms, a few inspection efforts have been made. In general, propiconazole is utilized among a few fungicides in farming and families and the detailed convergences of this pesticide are terrible in different water bodies such as waterways and streams, soil and even in rainwater. As in need, PCZ is reflected for hazard appraisal studies to consider profound and diverse degree of toxicological impacts subject to portion, presentation time and course. The PCZ constancy in nature is acting as a severe hazard to people as another non-target earthly and amphibian life form. Thus, the poisonous impacts of fungicides with unusual reference to PCZ on fish, the mode of toxicity concerns on the general wellbeing and harmful effects on individuals are methodically surveyed. The data are given on their appropriate control and counteraction plans. The motivation behind this distribution was subsequently to investigate the various poisonous effects of introduction of triazole. In addition, it incorporates ATPase action and ionic guideline to layout activities for surveying the degree of accurate existence of harmful effects of PCZ poisonousness of freshwater.

From Particle-in-a-Box Thought Experiment to a Complete Quantum Theory?
Authors: Chen Jixin
Published: May 2023

It is an unavoidable question raised by Albert Einstein if quantum theory is complete. The wavefunctions of elements are now constructed from fitting the experimental data which has made quantum chemistry empirical for almost all elements and molecules. It is our best interest to come up with a simpler model to fit the data regardless of our wish to understand reality in a more intuitive and accurate way than classical quantum mechanics. In this manuscript, I proposed an equation that quantizes the energies orders of magnitude faster than classical quantum mechanics. I assumed that the energy density distributions along space and time in a quantum system are uniform according to the 1st law of thermodynamics. Thus, the complementary energy contributions are added to the classical solutions of the 1D particle in a box problem, making the energy density a complex distribution function over space and time. Then the concept is extended to the free rotation problem with an equation significantly different than the classical Schrödinger equation. This new equation is inspired by the energy conservation method used in solving classical mechanics problems such as the pendulum problem. The picturized energy distribution functions and associated time evolution are described in movies for comparison between example classical wave functions and the energy density functions. The radial wavefunctions for the hydrogen atom and harmonic oscillator are derived. We can see that the new equation is much simpler than Schrödinger equation in obtaining consistent quantized rotational and vibrational energy levels. Thus, it has the potential to be widely used to free up computational pressure in modern quantum chemistry calculations.
Cobaltaelectro-Catalyzed C–H Annulation with Allenes for Atropochiral and P-stereogenic Compounds: Late-stage Diversification and Continuous Flow Scale up
Authors: Lin Ye , von Münchow Tristan , Ackermann Lutz
Published: May 2023

The 3d metallaelectro-catalyzed C–H activation has been identified as an increasingly viable strategy to access valuable organic molecules in a sustainable fashion under exceedingly mild reaction conditions. However, the development of enantioselective 3d metallaelectro-catalyzed C–H activation is very challenging and in its infancy. Here, we disclose the merger of cobaltaelectro-catalyzed C–H activation with asymmetric catalysis for the highly enantioselective annulation of allenes. A broad range of C–N axially chiral and P-stereogenic compounds were thereby obtained in good yields of up to 98% with excellent enantioselectivities of up to >99% ee. The practicality of this approach was demonstrated by the diversification of complex bioactive compounds and drug molecules as well as decagram-scale enantioselective electrocatalysis in continuous flow.
Implementation of High School Level Laboratory Experiments Demonstrating Nanoscale Porosity in Metal–Organic Frameworks
Authors: Crom Audrey , Holley Kate , Feldblyum Jeremy
Published: May 2023

Inorganic chemistry draws from many other disciplines of chemistry including organic, analytical, and physical chemistry, making it ideal for teaching foundational topics in high school and introductory undergraduate chemistry curricula. However, students rarely experience modern inorganic materials in introductory classes for a variety of reasons, including complexity of materials synthesis, expense of materials and instrumentation needed to analyze or demonstrate properties, and potential safety concerns. In this study, we use metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as a modern class of materials that is both emblematic of the interdisciplinary nature of inorganic chemistry and capable of straightforward synthesis and application in introductory chemistry settings. We designed seven laboratory experiences for high school and new undergraduate students that include two MOF syntheses and five follow up gas and solution adsorption experiments. These experiments use low-toxicity reagents and solvents, can be carried out with minimal levels of expertise, and necessitate only common equipment such as laboratory balances and hot plates.
Stronger together: Polymeric sulfur ylides with minimal charge separation open a new generation of antifouling and biofilm preventing materials

Published: May 2023

Zwitterionic polymers are widely employed hydrophilic building blocks for antifouling coatings with numerous applications across a wide range of fields, including but not limited to biomedical science, drug delivery and nanotechnology. Zwitterionic polymers are considered as an attractive alternative to polyethylene glycol because of their enhanced biocompatibility and effectiveness to prevent non-specific protein adsorption and formation of biofilms. To this end, zwitterionic polymers are classified in two categories, namely polybetaines and polyampholytes. Yet, despite a fundamental interest to drive the development of new antifouling materials, the chemical composition of zwitterionic polymer remains severely limited. Here, we propose an entirely new class of antifouling polymers, namely poly(sulfur ylides) belonging to the largely overlooked class of poly(ylides). We show that poly(sulfur ylides) effectively prevent the adhesion of biomolecules and formation of biofilms from pathogenic bacteria. While surface energy analysis reveals strong hydrogen-bond acceptor capabilities of poly(sulfur ylide) and suggests a repellent hydration barrier, membrane damage of pathogenic bacteria induced by poly(sulfur ylides) indicates a killing-by-contact mechanism. Such synergistic effect of poly(sulfur ylides) offers distinct advantages over polyethylene glycol when designing antifouling materials in the future. We expect that our findings will pave the way for the development of a range of ylide-based materials with antifouling properties that have yet to be explored, opening up new innovative directions at the interface of chemistry, biology, and material science.
Accelerating materials discovery by high-throughput GIWAXS characterization of quasi-2D formamidinium metal halide perovskites

Published: May 2023

The intriguing functionalities of emerging quasi-two-dimensional (2D) metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have led to further exploration of this material class for sustainable and scalable optoelectronic applications. However, the chemical complexities in precursors – primarily determined by the 2D:3D compositional ratio – result in uncontrolled phase heterogeneities in these materials, which compromises the optoelectronic performances. Yet, this phenomenon remains poorly understood due to the massive quasi-2D compositional space. To systematically explore the fundamental principles, herein, a high-throughput automated synthesis-characterization workflow is designed and implemented to formamidinium (FA)-based quasi-2D MHP system. It is revealed that the stable 3D-like phases, where the α-FAPbI3 surface is passivated by 2D spacer molecules, exclusively emerge at the compositional range (35-55% of FAPbI3), deviating from the stoichiometric considerations. A quantitative crystallographic study via high-throughput grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) experiments integrated with automated peak analysis function quickly reveals that the 3D-like phases are vertically aligned, facilitating vertical charge conduction that could be beneficial for optoelectronic applications. Together, this study uncovers the optimal 2D:3D compositional range for complex quasi-2D MHP systems, realizing desired optoelectronic performances and stability. The automated experimental workflow significantly accelerates materials discoveries and processing optimizations while providing fundamental insights into complex materials systems.

The aim was to analyse the effect of a 4-week programme integrating cognitive contents in Physical Education (CogniPE) on cognitive performance (CP) and emotional intelligence (EI) of adolescents. A randomised controlled trial was conducted with a control group (CG, n=58), which performed physical exercises at low intensity (i.e., stretching or pilates), an experimental group 1, which performed small-sided games of team sports (EG1, n=62), and experimental group 2, which performed CogniPE (EG2, n=60). Intensity of exercises and scores were registered after each station to classify and motivate the teams. Selective attention and concentration increased by 11.9% and 9.2% in EG1, and by 18.2% and 14.4% in EG2, respectively, compared to CG. Mathematical calculation improved by 15.9% and 18.7% in EG1 and EG2, compared to CG. In EI, well-being improved by 10.9% in EG1, sociability improved by 12.8% in EG1 and 15.9% in EG2 compared to CG. It is concluded to use CogniPE in school context.

Previous research used used cooking oil as a handsoap which has a strong inhibition of bacterial growth but still causes dry and slightly itchy skin, so this research was perfected by adding olive oil as a base. The problem is, which formulations of used cooking oil and olive oil in handsoap can inhibit bacterial growth and moisturize the skin, as well as their quality against organoleptic tests, irritation, and high foam. The purpose of this study was to determine the formulation of handsoap which has strong antibacterial properties, moisturizes the skin, and determines its quality against organoleptic tests, irritation, and high foaming. The composition of used cooking oil and olive oil used was 125 gr : 125 gr (Formula 1), 150 gr : 100 gr (Formula 2), 175 gr : 75 gr (Formula 3), and 200 gr : 50 gr (Formula 4). The making of this handsoap uses an experimental method. Testing the zone of inhibition of bacterial growth used the in vitro method, organoleptic testing was done through descriptive tests, and testing for PH, Irritability, and Foam Height was through descriptive tests using observational analytic methods. The results of this study are that this handsoap has a strong ability to inhibit bacterial growth, can moisturize the skin, is not irritated, and has a lot of foam, but has a large PH which is not in accordance with SNI so that it cannot be used by the public

La seguridad ciudadana es una condición esencial para la realización de las personas; en aporte a esto, el objetivo del artículo es proporcionar información relevante sobre el comportamiento del crimen, analizando los delitos de mayor connotación social ocurridos en las comunas de la Región Metropolitana de Chile. El método elegido es un modelo logístico, que incluye covariables socioeconómicas y demográficas de cada comuna, además de efectos espaciales y temporales. En el caso de las primeras, destaca la importancia que tiene la población, la mortalidad infantil, los ingresos propios permanentes y la pobreza como factores que aumentan significativamente la probabilidad de perpetración de delitos, especialmente los robos en todas sus formas. En este mismo orden de ideas, la asistencia escolar y las áreas verdes disminuyen la ocurrencia de delitos. Crímenes que destacan por su extrema violencia, como son el homicidio y la violación, ocurren con mayor probabilidad los días sábado y domingo; se suma a ellos, además, el viernes, para los delitos de lesiones y robo con violencia. Con todo, es importante este tipo de análisis, que permite identificar patrones delictivos que pueda adoptar el crimen, todo orientado a una prevención del delito focalizada y basada en evidencia, con el fin de contener el crimen y, así, favorecer el desan del delito focalizada y basada en evidencia, con el fin de contener el crimen y, así, favorecer el desarrollo humano, lo que permite al individuo y a la comunidad realizar sus legítimas aspiraciones.
La paradoja del desarrollo: consultas comunitarias en la posguerra guatemalteca
Authors: Masek Vaclav
Published: May 2023

En América Latina, la resistencia contra el extractivismo capitalista patrocinado por el Estado ha sido fortalecida por una alianza de movimientos indígenas y ambientalistas que movilizan nuevas formas de participación democrática. ¿Cómo recurren estos movimientos al pasado como fuente de inspiración para persistir en su organización, incluso frente a la exclusión sistemática? Once meses implementando una etnografía de mosaico con una organización de derechos indígenas en Guatemala revelan empíricamente el despliegue de mecanismos narrativos como parte de su repertorio cultural para concertar acciones estratégicas. El caso emblemático de la lucha en curso por la consulta «consensuada, libre, previa e informada» sobre la mina de explotación mineral más antigua de Guatemala en el pueblo lacustre de El Estor muestra acción cívica desplegada a través de imaginaciones temporales: una reconstrucción narrativa de cómo los movimientos sociales se imaginan en la historia y se posicionan en el tiempo. Conectando tres niveles de creación de significado a través de la memoria colectiva de la resistencia frente al colonialismo, el genocidio y el extractivismo, el liderazgo comunitario maya quekchí articula la «coordinación del futuro» a través de la memoria colectiva. Estas acciones directas sirven para resistir al Estado, abriendo nuevas avenidas para la reconceptualización del territorio indígena, el desarrollo en el posconflicto y las ambigüedades políticas de la organización social.

Published: May 2023

Classroom-based assessment (CBA) is continuous assessment of the teaching and learning process by applying summative and formative elements aimed at student development, progress, and achievement. A metasynthesis study was conducted on previous scientific studies to explore two main objectives, namely the inherent positive impact, and issues in the implementation of CBA. A total of seven articles were selected based on in-depth screening using Scopus, Science Direct, and Springer search agents. Two keywords were employed for data screening, assessment and CBA, and the article publication period was from around 2018 until 2022. The findings of this study show that CBA had increased the self-achievement of students, and developed assessment and pedagogy practices of teachers. Among the positive impacts of CBA are increasing student motivation and achievement and holistic learning. The findings also explain the issues in knowledge, skills, and implementation of CBA. The findings of this metasynthesis study highlight the positive impacts of CBA on student self-achievement, motivation, and holistic learning, while emphasizing the need for checks and balances in implementation. These insights have significant implications for education practitioners, and call for informed decision-making and ongoing professional development in assessment literacy to optimize the effectiveness of CBA in supporting student outcomes.

Authors: Mahabbati Aini , Purwanta Edi , Astuti Budi
Published: May 2023

Schools often need to implement the school-based positive behavior support (PBS) framework, especially if the school has students with emotional and behavioral problems. Teacher experiences in PBS provide precious information for the formulation of fidelity and sustainability in PBS. This case study research explored inclusive school-based PBS implementation, challenges, and needs regarding teachers’ experiences. A focus group discussion was used as the data collection method. Eight teachers from five different inclusive schools that provide behavior support programs and who have students with emotional and behavioral problems were involved as participants. Data analysis procedures included open coding with Microsoft Word assistance, and then conducting in-depth analysis on each subtheme identified. Data analysis resulted in four findings. 1) Teachers can identify the behavioral, emotional, and learning behavior problems of students as part of their routine activities. 2) Teachers provide behavior support to students with emotional and behavioral problems in accordance with school policies or, if necessary, based on their own initiatives. 3) Tasks that pose a challenge for teachers include accurately assessing emotional and behavioral problems of students, dealing with severe behavioral problems, and collaborating with colleagues and parents. 4) Teachers need to develop their assessment skills to understand students’ emotional and behavioral problems, come up with behavior support strategies, and collaborate with parents. The research results can serve as both theoretical and practical guidelines for determining how teachers’ skills and school resources align with the successful implementation of PBS.

Authors: BEZCİOĞLU Mert , UCAR Tayyib , YİĞİT Cemal Özer
Published: May 2023

The traditional-precise point positioning (PPP) technique may provide a positioning as precise as the relative positioning technique in long-term observation durations. However, since it cannot provide high-precision positioning due to ambiguity problem in short-term observations, the interest in the PPP-AR (Ambiguity Resolution) technique has increased. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of traditional-PPP and PPP-AR techniques for monitoring permanent displacements, considering different observation durations based on different satellite combinations. For this purpose, a displacement simulator that can move precisely in one direction and in the horizontal plane over a small distance was used. 6 different displacements were simulated, and all collected GNSS observations were evaluated with traditional-PPP, PPP-AR, and relative methods. Moreover, these methods were examined by considering the Global Positioning System (GPS), European Global Navigation Satellite System (Galileo), and GPS/Galileo satellite combinations. The findings clearly demonstrated the superiority of the PPP-AR technique outperformed the traditional-PPP technique in short-term observation durations and emphasize the contribution of multi-GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) combinations to both methods.

The main issue addressed in this paper is a practical application of sign language in early development support for deaf and hard of hearing children in Poland. This discussion is set in a broad cultural, linguistic, psychological and rehabilitation context. This paper presents the concept of Mary Pat Moeller which includes four approaches to the use of sign language in the programming of language in DHH. The discussion on the possibility of Polish rehabilitation centres adopting these solutions required an explanation of the diff erences between auditory deprivation and language deprivation, which is another important issue addressed in this paper. The main aim of this publication is to propose a fl exible approach to the creation of a model of education for deaf and hard of hearing children, one that will completely fulfi ll the needs of a specifi c child and to substantially argue about the conviction that sign language is a factor potentially detrimental to the development of these children.

The text presents an extract of an eye tracking verification study of the reading process in children with the risk of dyslexia. A case study analysis was used. The study revealed differences and irregularities between children with the risk of dyslexia and their peers in areas such as: number of fixations, length of fixations and length of observation of text. It was observed that the intensity of difficulties associated with the reading skills does not have to be proportional to the irregularities of the movements of the eye balls (for instance, serious decrease in the reading skills with insignificant improper movements of the eyes) but visual perception of the text being processed varies, which is graphically presented in the text.
Między radykalnym od-graniczeniem a krytycznym dystansem. Dekonstrukcyjne adaptacje mitu w prozie Brunona Schulza
Authors: Freieck Lisa
Published: May 2023

Myth forms the central interpretive category for Bruno Schulz’s fiction. The approaches range from ideological appropriations through the Polish messianism, biographical reductions or theological exegeses. In the present article, on the other hand, connections are made to Ernst Cassirer’s Philosophy of Symbolic Forms to show how Schulz adopts in his narratives resounding theorems of modern myth reception. It is argued that the transfer of the concept of myth to the subjective world of his own childhood is linked to questioning of rational models of reality. At the same time, this is differentiated from the assumption that Schulz uses myth in an irrationally transfiguring way: the power of myth is broken by the fact that he consistently relativizes his mythologizing principle and in this way presents himself as a dubious agent of rationalization. This leads to a claim that his reference to myth is not an affirmative adoption of modern mythologization, but it turns out to be a deconstructive play with traditional aesthetic forms, which is systematically geared towards the outsourcing of his fiction from normative categories and, at the same time, reflects the potential danger of mythologization that promises salvation.
Schulz w Paryżu
Authors: Rosiek Stanisław
Published: May 2023

The text includes a possibly complete reconstruction of 27 days spent by Schulz in Paris in 1938. The reconstruction provides the basis of a theoretical commentary which compares the advantages and traps of narrativized biographical discourses on Schulz with the order of the calendar. All that is known about Schulz in Paris has been found in about a dozen documents and several dozens of references in his correspondence, which is not too bad for a biography of a “writer without archive.” The documentation of other episodes of his life is much scarcer. We know when and where he stayed in Paris, sometimes even his hotel room number. However, of the 27 days spent by Schulz in Paris only about one third can be reconstructed in fragments. All the rest remains nebulous and impenetrable. Schulz often disappears into thin air and in fact we do not know what he was doing all days long. He neither talked nor wrote about it much. The opinions and remarks which he formulated, e.g., that Paris is a „riotous Babylon,” were quickly picked up by his exegetes and reconstructors of his biography. The surviving documents set boundaries which – while the reconstruction of episodes is still at stake – can be crossed only by conjectures and speculation. There is nothing wrong in these risky procedures. They are not bad as such, but those who move too far from the documents letter can be easily led astray. Not that everything is legitimate – in the world without the god of biography some rules are still valid. Conjectures and speculation must not reach beyond the „material truth.”
Panoptikum Heinricha Trabera w Drohobyczu w 1913 roku
Authors: Tarnowska Balbina
Published: May 2023

The article describes the arrival of Heinrich Traber’s Panopticum in Drogobych in the spring of 1913. The author attempts to reconstruct this event relying on the information found in the preserved catalog (Guide to the Heinrich Traber’s Anatomical Museum and Panopticum). An additional context mentioned in the essay is work practice of Traber, especially years 1898-1904, when he was running the „Kosmos” Panopticum in Prague where he arranged popular freaks shows. Probably after he had to close down his business, he set out on a tour with his collection, resigning from the display of „human peculiarities.” The main question is what Schulz could see in Traber’s traveling museum, if he had seen it at all. Basing on the catalog, we know that in the museum there were anatomical preparations and wax figures. It is interesting that in one of Schulz’s short stories, “The Spring,” there is a wax figures cabinet and two surnames of historical figures that might have been taken from Traber’s exhibition: Alfred Dreyfus and Luigi Luccheni (they are also mentioned in the guide). On the other hand, there is no reason to insist that Schulz was inspired by Traber’s panopticum when he was writing his story, because the tradition of wax figures cabinet was commonly known in his times and in the art and literature of modernism the motifs of puppet, wax figure, and marionette were very popular.

Background

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is the most common viral central nervous system (CNS) infection in Poland. Previous research suggests that its incidence was underestimated in the pre-pandemic period. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a considerable burden on surveillance systems, which could further impact reporting.

Aim

We aimed to assess the completeness of reporting of TBE in the years 2008 to 2020 and explore the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on reporting to the epidemiological surveillance system, compared with hospitalisations for TBEV and other viral neuro-infections.

Methods

We compared the Polish epidemiology of TBE and other viral infections of the CNS from national surveillance reports with data on hospitalisations from 2008 to 2020 and data from selected European countries.

Results

Between 2008 and 2020, 3,016 TBE cases were reported to surveillance compared with 3,620 hospitalisations. There was an increasing trend in hospitalisations, while surveillance data demonstrated the opposite, with the largest discrepancy observed in the first pandemic year (354 hospitalisations vs 159 cases reported to surveillance). Serological testing for TBE was used more in the known endemic region of north-eastern Poland and less in non-endemic areas. Other European countries reported higher TBE case numbers and an increase during the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas Poland observed an opposite trend.

Conclusion

The sensitivity of TBE surveillance in Poland requires improvement. There are considerable regional differences. Regions that test for TBE intensively report most cases. Policymakers should be made aware of the value of quality epidemiological data for planning prophylactic measures in risk areas.

Background

Following the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant spread, the use of unsupervised antigenic rapid diagnostic tests (self-tests) increased.

Aim

This study aimed to measure self-test uptake and factors associated with self-testing.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study from 20 January to 2 May 2022, the case series from a case–control study on factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection were used to analyse self-testing habits in France. A multivariable quasi-Poisson regression was used to explore the variables associated with self-testing among symptomatic cases who were not contacts of another infected individual. The control series from the same study was used as a proxy for the self-test background rate in the non-infected population of France.

Results

During the study period, 179,165 cases who tested positive through supervised tests were recruited. Of these, 64.7% had performed a self-test in the 3 days preceding this supervised test, of which 79,038 (68.2%) were positive. The most frequently reported reason for self-testing was the presence of symptoms (64.6%). Among symptomatic cases who were not aware of being contacts of another case, self-testing was positively associated with being female, higher education, household size, being a teacher and negatively associated with older age, not French by birth, healthcare-related work and immunosuppression. Among the control series, 12% self-tested during the 8 days preceding questionnaire filling, with temporal heterogeneity.

Conclusion

The analysis showed high self-test uptake in France with some inequalities which must be addressed through education and facilitated access (cost and availability) for making it a more efficient epidemic control tool.

Published: May 2023

Esta propuesta examinará el efecto del tratamiento de percepción auditiva y producción de los fonemas /ʌ/, /æ/ y /aː/ del idioma inglés. Lo que se espera encontrar es si una intervención didáctica virtual es eficaz en la percepción auditiva y producción verbal de los participantes al comparar los resultados del pretest y post-test. Esta investigación se basará en un enfoque cuantitativo, diseño experimental, correlacional; su valor es parcialmente explicativo puesto que se indaga acerca de si dos conceptos o variables se interrelacionan lo cual aporta información ciertamente explicativa. La población para realizar este estudio serán estudiantes de la licenciatura de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional 042 sede Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche; México. Los instrumentos para llevar a cabo este experimento es la aplicación de un pre y post test de percepción auditiva y producción oral. De igual forma, se aplicará un taller de adiestramiento virtual con una duración de veinticuatro horas distribuidas en tres semanas como tratamiento para mejorar el aprendizaje de los sonidos vocálicos propuestos. La técnica de análisis probablemente a emplear sería: el software de análisis SPSS, PRAAT o cualquier otra que sea apropiada a la naturaleza de estudio. Los resultados que se pretenden encontrar son si los estudiantes perciben y producen oralmente de manera eficaz los sonidos antes mencionados o si continúan con la transferencia de sus patrones de pronunciación de su lengua materna.

Contextual factors that affect the English learning process of students in Mexico.
Authors: Iturria Ana Ruth
Published: May 2023

Learning a new language always takes a considerable amount of time, constant effort, practice and commitment. It is a process in which the learner is influenced by different aspects, such as school factors (under teacher´s control) and contextual factors (external factors that are not under teacher´s control).  For this reason, talking about the challenges during the English learning process requires noticing the background of students. Through this article, different situations and problems are exposed in order to ponder about the contextual factors of the students in Mexico. It is presented the definition of contextual factors and the aspects that compose it. Afterward, an overview of general education in Mexico is presented, as well as the current English teaching situation and the low level of English in Mexican students. The relationship between the socioeconomic level and the level of English of the students is also shown. Moreover, it is address the influence of parents on the academic performance of their children. The article incorporates the changes in the perceptions of English learners through the past years and the new perspective towards the English language. This article culminates with a conclusion of the contextual factors and a reflection about the changes that could be done.
