Urgencia Ético-Ambiental: Pedagogías Ecoanimalistas y Formación de Profesionales de la Educación
Authors: Villar Milena , Méndez-Lois Mª José , Barreiro Felicidad
Published: June 2024

El antropocentrismo, la falta de una ética animal y la situación planetaria actual requieren de la implantación de medidas urgentes para afrontar las problemáticas que arremeten contra la sociedad. Se considera que ante tesituras tan arduas, la educación es el camino más efectivo, y por ello, se plantea la necesidad de implantar las pedagogías ecoanimalistas en la formación de las y los profesionales de la educación, para conferir solución a estas situaciones. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la presencia de la formación en pedagogías ecoanimalistas y en educación ambiental en los planes de formación inicial y permanente del profesorado y otras/os profesionales de la educación de Galicia. Para ello se han revisado las materias impartidas en los grados universitarios para la formación de maestras/os, pedagogas/os y educadoras/es sociales, además de los másteres universitarios que habilitan al profesorado de educación secundaria en las tres universidades gallegas. Los resultados muestran una ausencia de contenidos vinculados a las pedagogías ecoanimalistas y una carencia formativa en relación a la educación ambiental, más presente en los programas educativos, pero insuficiente. Finalmente, se reitera la necesidad de promover las pedagogías ecoanimalistas en la formación del profesorado y demás profesionales del ámbito educativo.

La metodología es mixta al ofrecer datos cualitativos basados en la observación de la profesora y cuantitativos al presentar los resultados de una encuesta y de una rúbrica empleada para evaluar competencias. Los resultados indican que el estudio potencia un currículum basado en las competencias intercultural y sociales con el fin de que el alumnado desarrolle la conciencia social. Como conclusiones, el estudio revela que los ODS trabajados en las actividades potencian la adquisición de la competencia intercultural y de competencias sociales. Esto favorece el desarrollo de la conciencia social del alumnado al tomar conciencia de distintas realidades sociales y ofrecer oportunidades para respetar las diferencias culturales
Aprendizajes sobre la Politización de la Práctica Docente en Chile: Lecciones de Docentes Activistas
Authors: Ortiz Mallegas Sebastian , Carrasco-Aguilar Claudia , Torres-Sánchez Mónica
Published: June 2024

El profesorado y sus asociaciones han desempeñado un papel fundamental en las reformas educativas. En Chile, su participación ha permitido establecer principios de democracia y equidad, que datan del inicio de los sistemas educativos. En este contexto, las asociaciones han sido instrumento de la participación política del profesorado, siendo un agente esencial para negociar un papel transformador en la docencia. No obstante, actualmente las asociaciones docentes experimentan un momento de crisis que ha tenido un impacto en la referencia que el profesorado tiene para politizar su trabajo. Desde un estudio cualitativo de 30 entrevistas en profundidad con docentes organizados/as y activos en su trabajo en aula, se describe el papel de las asociaciones docentes en la politización de la práctica docente en Chile. Los resultados evidencian la adquisición de conocimientos del docente en el marco de sus asociaciones, lo que le permitiría una práctica docente diferente. No obstante, la asistencia a una asociación docente no garantiza estos aprendizajes, sino más bien el compromiso del profesorado con sus pares y la politización desde una perspectiva de las diferencias. Se debaten los desafíos de la politización del trabajo como un marco de sentido para la resistencia y el activismo docente.
Trabajar Temas Emergentes en la Formación de los Grados de Educación: Ecofeminismo a través del Artes
Authors: Lucas-Palacios Laura , Resa Ocio Ainhoa , Campos-Lopez Teresa
Published: June 2024

Este trabajo presenta los resultados de una investigación que busca conocer el valor educativo de la Didáctica de la Historia del arte para analizar y entender críticamente los códigos culturales de las sociedades del pasado y del presente (heteronormativos, eurocentristas, especistas y patriarcales), que deben ser revisados y cuestionados para la formación de una ciudadanía crítica, justa y equitativa, alineada a los valores del Ecofeminismo tal y como se recomienda en el programa Horizonte Europa y en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. Para ello, se diseñó un instrumento llamado “Test de la Nueva Ariadna” que se implementó en los grados de Educación Social y de Educación Primaria de la UPV-EHU. Para el análisis de los resultados se ha aplicado una metodología de investigación mixta: a través de un cuestionario pretest y otro postest, se realizó, en un análisis descriptivo-comparativo, para después aplicar técnicas cualitativas de análisis del discurso multimodal. Los resultados demuestran que las personas jóvenes participantes la aplicación del programa, un porcentaje significativo del alumnado cambió su opinión sobre el uso del arte como recurso educativo y considera que cuenta con más herramientas y recursos para abordar temas emergentes en educación, aunque reclama más formación en estas áreas. Se concluye que el programa tiene un impacto positivo en la mejora de la formación inicial docente, facilitando la acción frente a los retos sociales actuales.

Authors: Alkhezzi Amjaad , Salati Sajad Ahmad , Alsulaim Lamees Sulaiman , Elmuttalut Mohammad Ahmed , Alsalamah Yasir Ahmed
Published: June 2024

Giant gallstones are rare occurrences and measure 5 cm in any one dimension. They present unique set of features and complications. Due to their rarity, we conducted this systematic review to investigate the profile of patients with giant gallstones applying seven variables. For this study, we used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. After an initial search of 111 peer reviewed articles from reliable sources, we included 29 articles for this study enrolling 30 patients with mean age of 66.7 years. Majority (97%) were symptomatic, reporting with cholecysto-enteric fistula/gallstone ileus (33%), acute cholecystitis (30%) and chronic dyspepsia (24%). The management options adopted included open cholecystectomy (48%), laparoscopic cholecystectomy (33%), endoscopic lithotripsy (6%) and conservative management (6%).

Authors: Barak Gal , Demmler-Harrison Gail , Rossetti Linda , Tubman Venée N. , Walimbe Ameya S. , Asaithambi Rathi
Published: June 2024

A 4-month-old full-term female presented with growth faltering associated with progressive feeding difficulty, rash, abdominal distension, and developmental delays. She was found to have disconjugate gaze, abnormal visual tracking, mixed tone, bruising, and splenomegaly on examination. Initial workup was notable for thrombocytopenia and positive cytomegalovirus (CMV) immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M antibodies. She initially presented to the infectious diseases CMV clinic, where she was noted to have severe malnutrition, prompting referral to the emergency department for hospital admission to optimize nutrition with nasogastric tube feeding and facilitate additional evaluation. An active CMV infection with viruria and viremia was confirmed, but elements of her presentation and workup including brain magnetic resonance imaging were not consistent with isolated CMV infection. To avoid premature diagnostic closure, a multidisciplinary workup was initiated and ultimately established her diagnosis.
Micorrizas arbusculares asociadas a la especie en peligro de extinción Gustavia romeroi (Lecythidaceae)
Authors: Santafe-Pulgarín Fanery , Posada Almanza Raúl
Published: June 2024

Gustavia romeroi es una especie endémica de Colombia que se encuentra en peligro de extinción por la conversión de bosques en sistemas agropecuarios, deforestación, fragmentación del hábitat y la caza de agentes dispersores, de la cual se desconocen sus interacciones edáficas siendo importantes para su conservación. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el grado de asociación micorrícico arbuscular de G. romeroi, las interacciones ecológicas y morfoespecies de hongos micorrícicos arbusculares (HMA) asociadas respecto a la edad de la planta en diferentes épocas. Se tomaron 72 muestras de suelo y raíces de cuatro clases diamétricas (plántula, juvenil, arbolito, árbol) en época seca y lluviosa; las variables fisicoquímicas, porcentaje de colonización y las comunidades micorrícicas se analizaron mediante una red de interacción y atributos ecológicos. La colonización varió de 14,9 a 92,9 %, con diferencias entre clases diamétricas en época de lluvias (p = 0,0061), siendo mayor en juveniles y arbolitos. Se registraron 79 morfoespecies HMA principalmente de los géneros Acaulospora y Glomus. No se encontraron diferencias en la composición de morfoespecies entre clases diamétricas en ninguna época, pero si entre épocas (p = 0,027). La red de interacciones ecológicas mostró morfoespecies particulares para épocas y clases diamétricas y también la formación de cuatro módulos. Se demostró la asociación simbiótica de G. romeroi con HMA y aspectos ecológicos como el anidamiento de morfoespecies de HMA y su modularidad, lo cual contribuye a entender la dinámica de la especie en su entorno natural y al mejoramiento de los planes para su conservación.

Published: June 2024

Anthropic effects and global change threaten biodiversity and genetic resources. Thus, their conservation becomes a primary necessity. This work aims to assess the conservation conditions for vegetation and causes that limit the progressive dynamics of the vegetation cover after a long period of defense. Using the quadrat point method,  his work was conducted in two fenced zones and an unfenced zone of the Biosphere Reserve of BouHedma in a Tunisian arid climate. A total of 66 transects were investigated. In each transect species richness and, α and β indices were determined. The α and β diversity showed a low similarity in family and species composition in the studied zones. The Poaceae and Asteraceae families were the most representative in the studied zones and the most used for grazing. These results highlight that long-term conservation contributes to minimizing the reduction of biodiversity in the reserve. It is necessary to minimize razing and deforestation, especially in the unfenced zone. Thus, the setup of barriers and fences is highly recommended to retain the soil. In addition, finding an effective communication plan with the local population and visitors seems to be crucial.

Authors: Sánchez-Bayón Antonio , Arpi Roberto , Arpi Luis , Paz Paredes Rene
Published: June 2024

Este artículo busca explicar la desigualdad del ingreso laboral entre grupos étnicos en el Perú durante la pandemia de COVID-19 a través de información de la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares del 2019, 2020 y 2021. Los resultados evidencian que el ingreso de los indígenas solo representó el 55 % de los no indígenas y sus retornos de la educación son menores en comparación con el otro grupo. Por su parte, la brecha de ingreso laboral entre grupos étnicos es explicada en alrededor de 63 % por características observables y el restante por las no observables (exclusión o discriminación).
Peticiones de residentes y mujeres públicas en torno a la zona sexual de Cali, 1930-1940
Authors: Jalil Hanni
Published: June 2024

En Cali, la reglamentación de la prostitución se convirtió en política pública durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Aunque los trabajos sobre la prostitución en esta ciudad se han centrado en los debates legales y médicos en torno a su reglamentación, pocos han examinado las peticiones que los residentes de la ciudad enviaron al Concejo Municipal en torno a esta. Este artículo emplea como marco interpretativo los conceptos de negociación, narrativas e imaginarios sociales para analizar las peticiones enviadas en la década de 1930, buscando así comprender como se gestaron las relaciones entre Estado-sociedad y entre diferentes miembros de la comunidad. Concluye, a partir del análisis textual de las peticiones, que algunos miembros de la comunidad establecieron límites a la inclusión de grupos estigmatizados y, que, en ocasiones, las mujeres que ejercieron la prostitución retaron dichos límites. Sugiere que la forma en que los caleños definieron la ciudadanía, y quienes merecían ser incluidos dentro de su comunidad variaba, dependiendo en muchos casos de la posición que estos ocupaban en la jerarquía social y/o moral de la ciudad y de cómo cada uno de ellos construía su identidad en relación con los demás residentes.
Las infancias producidas por La Violencia bipartidista en Colombia (1946-1950): aportes para su historización
Authors: Bácares-Jara Camilo
Published: June 2024

el objeto de este artículo es mostrar la forma en que el periodo conocido en Colombia como La Violencia afectó e intervino a los niños y niñas entre 1946 y 1950. La investigación parte del reconocimiento de que la infancia es un hecho socialmente producido. Así la pregunta central del texto es qué tipo de infancias fueron creadas por efecto de La Violencia, por cuáles actores, en dónde y bajo qué métodos. Metodológicamente la investigación se apoyó en una revisión de los periódicos El Siglo y El Tiempo publicados entre 1946 a 1950 y en el análisis documental de cincuenta fuentes secundarias. Los resultados de la investigación indican que este es un fenómeno aún poco estudiado en el país y que La Violencia generó diversas formas de ser niño o niña o de experimentar la niñez producto de ataques a sus casas, de amenazas, de sus asesinatos selectivos o los de sus padres. Los hallazgos sugieren que el alcance de La Violencia en la vida de los niños y niñas tuvo una magnitud considerable tanto en el campo como en las cabeceras municipales y capitales del país; por otra parte, que los niños y niñas que padecieron La Violencia no fueron víctimas colaterales, sino deliberadamente premeditadas para dañar a los deudos y copartidarios que participaron del conflicto.
Channel Operating Margin Exploration as a Complementary Transceiver Circuit Design Tool for 25 Gbps PAM4 Serial Links
Authors: Dovale-Vargas Luisa Fernanda , Reyes-Torres Oscar Mauricio , Roa-Fuentes Elkim Felipe
Published: June 2024

The design of high-speed serial links continues to attract the attention of the electronics industry due to the steady development of different telecommunications standards, generating a constantly growing data rate and new modulation schemes. However, conventional certification metrics can lead to sub-optimal transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) circuit designs. Therefore, the Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3bj introduced a more effective evaluation method called channel operating margin (COM) to explore the design space at an early stage. Although the advantages of COM have been discussed in the literature and only a few works explore its potential as a backplane design tool, there are no reports on the use of COM as a complementary design tool for transceiver circuits. This work studies the use of COM as a complementary tool for transceiver design. COM performance is evaluated for four 100GBASE-KP4 backplanes and different equalization architectures. The impact of the metric and the challenges associated with incorporating new equalization structures into the COM flow are discussed. The results reveal a conventional Tx-Rx architecture that exceeds the COM threshold and an alternative one that improves the opening of the eye diagram but does not exceed the threshold.
MOLECULAR DRUG DISCOVERY OF POTENTIAL INHIBITOR OF COVID–19 USING SEVERAL MEDICINAL PLANT INGREDIENTS: A PROMISING THERAPY FOR VIRAL DISEASE
Authors: Mollaamin Fatemeh , Monajjemi Majid
Published: June 2024

This research article aims to investigate the compounds of apigenine--7--glucoside, catechin, demethoxycurcumine, kaempferol, naringenin, oleuropein and quercetin extracted from \textit{Goji berries, Green tea, Turmeric, Chinese cabbage, Citrus fruit, Olive} and \textit{Chili pepper}, respectively, as a probable anti pandemic Covid19 receptor derived from medicinal plants. The physicochemical properties including heat of formation, Gibbs free energy, electronic energy, charge distribution have been evaluated for the active sites of natural drugs which can be proposed for Covid19 treatment. These phytochemicals can be attached to the active site of the database amino acids fragment of Tyr160--Met161--His162 as the selective zone of the Covid19 due to formation of hydrogen bonding. The theoretical calculations were done at various levels of theory to gain was more accurate equilibrium geometrical results, and IR spectral data for each of the complex proposed drugs of N--terminal or O--terminal auto--cleavage substrate were individually determined to elucidate the structural flexibility and substrate binding of seven medicinal plants jointed to active site of Covid19 molecule. A comparison of these structures with two configurations provides new insights for the design of substrate--based anti--targeting Covid19. This indicates a feasible model for designing wide--spectrum of anti--Covid19 drugs. The structure-based optimization of these structures has yielded two more efficacious lead compounds, N and O atoms through forming the hydrogen bonding with potent anti--Covid19

Yoga and the Gig Economy
Authors: Clarke Marissa
Published: June 2024

In this article, I explore the relationship between yoga and the gig economy, a phenomenon that was accentuated during the pandemic and has prevailed in the current cost-of-living crisis. In the first half of the article, I review existing literature in relation to yoga, women and work, and examine how flexibilization, precarization and gender intersect in the organization of labour, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the second half of the article, I draw on my observations from a conceptual reading of Instagram content, and social justice activity organized by the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) Yoga Teachers branch, to sketch two retrospective positions that reflect how yoga teachers responded to flexible work during the pandemic. The positions are sketched in the conceptual portraits of the ‘yoga-preneur’ and ‘yoga-unionist’, with the caveat that there is nuance in these characterizations. Lastly, I dissolve the binary between these positions using Lorusso’s term ‘entreprecariat’, and contextualize this concept in reference to flexibilization, gender and the yoga profession.
Situating ‘Mainstream’ Yoga
Authors: Lawler Nick
Published: June 2024

Yoga has become a highly visible commodity over recent decades, often promoted through images of sculpted bodies on exotic beaches and perfect Instagram homes. This paper explores the less glamorous everyday yoga class—more village hall than Bali beach—describing exploratory surveys and focus groups with teachers from two major British yoga organizations. These teachers offer widely accessed presentations of modern postural yoga and therefore play an important role in how yoga is conceived and continues to evolve. While boutique studios now account for 20% of class locations, the majority of classes still take place in community centres, gyms, church and village halls, schools and workplaces. This suggests that for the moment yoga in Britain remains deeply embedded in community settings. The paper concludes that despite yoga’s association with secularized health and wellness most teachers attribute a strong spiritual dimension to the practice. However, in the personal ways yoga is imagined, life history and local context appear as important, if not more important, than yoga lineages and yoga philosophy.
Od praw naturalnych do godności osoby ludzkiej. Rozważania filozoficzno-prawne w przedmiocie aksjologii Konstytucji Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej
Authors:   Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie, Łuszczyńska Małgorzata
Published: June 2024

The article is a reflection on the issues of natural law. The dominant view in the literature on the subject is that natural law is a kind of matrix that should be duplicated by the legislator in order to prevent legal injustice. According to the Latin paremia: Lex iniusta non est lex (Unjust law is not law), the legislator must take into account unspecified higher- level norms. The aim of the article is to look from a philosophical perspective at the axiological foundations of the Polish legal order in the context, primarily, of the sources of law. According to the author of the article, in modern times the rationalism of natural law is becoming apparent, and its religious foundations will not necessarily be acceptable in a culturally pluralized society. The legal analysis method was used, the historical-legal method (in terms of examining the evolution of legal ideas underlying individual constitutional regulations) and the hermeneutic method in relation to the examination of the Constitution as a product of culture, not so much in the linguistic, but in the social, cultural and historical layer. The analysis of applicable legal provisions also forced the use of the formal and dogmatic method.

Best of Both Worlds: Agents with Entitlements
Authors: Hoefer Martin , Schmalhofer Marco , Varricchio Giovanna
Published: June 2024

Fair division of indivisible goods is a central challenge in artificial intelligence. For many prominent fairness criteria including envy-freeness (EF) or proportionality (PROP), no allocations satisfying these criteria might exist. Two popular remedies to this problem are randomization or relaxation of fairness concepts. A timely research direction is to combine the advantages of both, commonly referred to as Best of Both Worlds (BoBW).
We consider fair division with entitlements, which allows to adjust notions of fairness to heterogeneous priorities among agents. This is an important generalization to standard fair division models and is not well-understood in terms of BoBW results. Our main result is a lottery for additive valuations and different entitlements that is ex-ante weighted envy-free (WEF), as well as ex-post weighted proportional up to one good (WPROP1) and weighted transfer envy-free up to one good (WEF(1, 1)). We show that this result is tight – ex-ante WEF is incompatible with any stronger ex-post WEF relaxation.
In addition, we extend BoBW results on group fairness to entitlements and explore generalizations of our results to instances with more expressive valuation functions.
LCC HİPOTEZİ ÇERÇEVESİNDE TÜRKİYE’DE KİRLİLİK SIĞINAĞI VE KİRLİLİK HALE HİPOTEZLERİNİN SINANMASI
Authors: Topal Samet
Published: June 2024

Bu çalışma, Türkiye ekonomisi için yük kapasite eğrisi (LCC) hipotezi çerçevesinde kişi başı gelir, doğrudan yabancı yatırımları (FDI) ve birincil enerji tüketiminin (BET) yük kapasite faktörü (LCF) üzerindeki etkilerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca, Türkiye’de LCC hipotezi, kirlilik sığınağı hipotezi ve kirlilik hale hipotezlerinin geçerli olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla analizler, 1973-2022 dönemine ait yıllık veriler kullanılarak Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) ve Phillips-Perron (PP) birim kök testleri ve Auto-regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) sınır testi yöntemiyle yapılmıştır. Çalışmada, Türkiye’de kişi başına gelir ile çevresel kalite arasında U şeklinde bir ilişki olmadığı ve dolayısıyla LCC hipotezinin geçerli olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Diğer taraftan, Türkiye’de FDI’nın çevre kalitesini olumsuz etkilediği ve kirlilik sığınağı hipotezinin geçerli olduğu görülmüştür. Modelde kontrol değişken olarak yer alan BET ise LCF ile ters yönlü bir ilişki içindedir, diğer bir değişle BET arttıkça çevresel kalite bozulmaktadır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarından yola çıkılarak, Türkiye’nin fosil yakıt kullanımını azaltarak yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına yönelmesi, devletin düzenleme ve denetim süreçlerini daha aktifleştirmesi ve gerek üretim gerekse de tüketim sürecinde hane halklarının ve işletmelerin çevre bilincinin artırılmasına yönelik politikaların geliştirilmesinin sürece katkı sağlayacağı söylenebilir.
TARIMSAL DESTEKLEMELERİN VE TARIMSAL İSTİHDAMIN EKONOMİK BÜYÜME ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ: BİR ZAMAN SERİSİ ANALİZİ
Authors: Merdan Kurtuluş
Published: June 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de 2000-2022 dönemine ait yıllık verilerle tarımsal desteklemelerin ve tarımsal istihdamın ekonomik büyüme üzerine olan etkilerini incelemektir. Ampirik analizin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada öncelikle değişkenler birim kök testiyle sınanmıştır. Birim kök tespit edilen değişkenlerin farkları Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) testine göre birim kökten arındırılmıştır. Serilere uygun gecikme testi uygulanmış ve ardından ekonomik büyüme, tarımsal istihdam oranı ve tarımsal destek miktarı arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi eş bütünleşme, hata düzeltmeli VAR tahmini ve Granger nedensellik testi sonuçlarına göre analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen analiz sonuçlarına göre, tarımsal desteklemelerin ekonomik büyüme üzerinde ya da ekonomik büyümenin tarımsal desteklemeler üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Nedensellik bulguları ise tarımsal destekler ve ekonomik büyüme arasında nedenselliğin olmadığına işaret etmektedir. Tarımsal istihdamın ise ekonomik büyümeyi çift yönlü ve pozitif bir şekilde etkilediği tespit edilmiş, iki değişken arasında bir nedensellik ilişkisinin varlığı ortaya konulmuştur. Sonuç olarak; Türkiye’de ekonomik büyümeye yönelik verilen tarımsal desteklerin etkili olmadığı buna karşılık tarımsal istihdamın olumlu yansımalarının olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Dolayısıyla tarım sektöründen tarım dışı sektörlere zamana yayılan kontrollü bir geçiş için önlemler alınması ve bu şekilde sektördeki işgücünün niteliği ve uyum yeteneğinin artırılması, teşvikler yoluyla istihdamın kayıt altına alınması gibi tedbirler sorunun çözümünde büyük katkı sunacaktır.
“Is it Hard Out Here for a Player?”: Understanding the Relationship Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Athletic Identity Among College Student Athletes
Authors: Copeland Courtney , Reynolds Amy , Ackley Jessica
Published: June 2024

It is unclear what impact, if any, early experiences with trauma may have on athletic identity. Athletic identity may serve as a protective shield for those who have adverse childhood experiences. Self-identifying as an athlete as opposed to the identity that experienced the trauma could be a defense mechanism for self-protection. The primary purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and athletic identity as well as determine any influence from gender, ethnicity, and sport in a group of college athletes. Using Qualtrics software, 102 collegiate athletes currently enrolled in higher education institutions across varying NCAA divisions within the United States completed three measures: Personal Data Form, Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS), and Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES). Results found adverse childhood experiences were not significantly associated with Athletic Identity. However, results did show a difference between men and women, with a significant relationship between adverse childhood experiences and athletic identity in men but not women. Upon further examination, it was found that for men, consideration of ethnicity in conjunction with gender highlighted an even stronger relationship among Black men specifically. Implications for these findings, suggestions for university athletic departments, and recommendations for future research were made.
"From Sweats to Suits": Administrators' Recommendations For Student-Athlete Career Development Services.
Authors: Sears Jackson , Bunch Natalie , Williams Tyler , Cianfrone Beth
Published: June 2024

Division I college athletes are faced with numerous academic challenges during their time in school, including conflicts of interest between the university (e.g., academic success), athletic department (e.g., athletic success), and their own priorities (e.g., quality of life, balancing academic and athletic success). These growing demands may impact student-athletes’ ability to prepare for a career after sport. Thus, there is a need for high-quality student-athlete career development programming and services in student-athlete support centers. The purpose of this study was to gain senior administrators’ perspectives of student-athlete support services to determine best practices of career development programming. Division I administrators (N = 10), who oversee student-athlete support centers, provided insight and feedback via semi-structured interviews. A directed qualitative content analysis was conducted to discern best practices, levels of student-athlete engagement, and preferred attributes of career development personnel. The findings provide specific recommendations, which can help other student-athlete career development personnel improve their programs and adds to the holistic care literature.

Published: June 2024

College student-athletes balance the demands of both sport and school in the context of higher education; high levels of motivation are necessary for success in both spaces. Studies have evaluated learning styles and academic motivational outcomes in college student athletes but there is a need to explore how motivation impacts both academic and athletic success. The present study examined the relationship academic, student athletic, and career athletic motivation had with learning styles and major (STEM vs. non-STEM) using Self-Determination Theory as the theoretical lens. College Division I, II, III, and Club college athletes took the Grasha-Reichmann Student Learning Style Scale and Student Athletes Motivation toward Sports and Academics Questionnaire. Learning styles were grouped into intrinsic (independent, participant, and collaborative) and extrinsic (dependent, avoidant, and competitive) styles. There were positive relationships between intrinsic learning style and both student athletic (r(147) = .19, p = .02) and academic (r(147) = .30, p < .001) motivation. Extrinsic learning style was positively correlated with career athletic (r(147) = .27, p = .001) and student athletic (r(147) = .16, p < .05) motivation but negatively corelated with academic motivation (r(147) = -.17, p = .03). Athletes in STEM majors (M = 3.88, SD = 0.36) had significantly higher academic motivation than non-STEM majors (M = 3.66, SD = 0.40), t(182) = 3.85, p < .001. Athletes in non-STEM majors (M = 4.00, SD = 0.88) had significantly higher career athletic motivation than STEM majors (M = 3.56, SD = 0.91), t(182) = -3.29, p = .001. Findings suggest being more independent, participant, and collaborative in class is related to motivation both in school and in student athletic endeavors. Athletes pursuing a STEM major may show higher academic motivation than athletes pursuing non-STEM majors. Encouraging student-athlete learning autonomy via education/intervention could improve intrinsic motivation in sport and classes, though further exploration of these factors is necessary to fully understand their relationship in college student-athletes.
Madrid international plan of action on ageing – some reflections
Authors: Mala Kapur Shankardass
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The World Assembly on Ageing in 2002 came out with ‘The Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing’ as guidance to member countries of the UN to plan their development policies by focusing on their respective population ageing pattern, current and projected. However, even after over twenty years since the document was signed by UN member countries to address multiple dimensions related to ageing issues, still certain challenges need attention, especially in countries where development resources are a constraint and populations ageing rapidly as seen for instance in South Asia as well as in Southern Africa and South America. Methods: This article based on the available literature, reports, and author’s research reviews the progress of MIPAA globally, specifically in South Asia, and generally in regions of Southern Africa and South America given their certain special similar socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Result: The challenges faced globally and especially in these regions are analyzed through a review of the implementation of MIPAA. To what extent these specific regions given their circumstances have been able to adopt the long-term strategy of MIPAA and develop a perspective on building a society for all ages by forging partnerships between different stakeholders from a right-based approach is reflected in this discourse. Conclusion: In the context of South Asia specifically and to some extent for other regions, certain suggestions are voiced out in removing respective shortfalls and taking forward the global guidance of MIPAA in the coming years.

Published: June 2024

Primary entry during minimally invasive abdominal surgery remains the one step associated with controversy and complications. This scoping review attempts to draw literature describing sensor augmented techniques for introducing the primary trocar or Veress needle into the abdomen in a bid to reduce associated challenges. Publications related to other relevant needle entry techniques into critical spaces where sensors are successfully utilised are also briefly reviewed. It is expected that an overview of related areas in which the technology is applicable and modifications to established techniques alongside the added improvements will be described.

Colombia es un país rico en diversidad cultural gracias al aporte de las comunidades indígenas, campesinas, afrodescendientes, raizales, Rom y la gran variedad de cosmovisiones que se construyen como interpretación de las realidades contextuales que enriquecen la comprensión del mundo de la vida. Sin embargo, es evidente también la invisibilización que estas comunidades han tenido en las escuelas colombianas en lo que corresponde a la diversidad religiosa que subyace a este entramado multicultural, produciendo por una parte un desconocimiento de sus saberes, su espiritualidad y su cosmovivencia, y en el peor de los casos, estigmatizaciones peyorativas de su identidad y sus prácticas religiosas. Por ello, este artículo informa los resultados de una investigación documental bajo el método de revisión sistemática de literatura de Bárbara Kitchenham. Los resultados dan cuenta que el área de la Educación Religiosa Escolar, leída desde la normatividad vigente, puede ser el espacio académico apropiado para favorecer el cultivo del pluralismo religioso a través del reconocimiento del aporte y la riqueza de dichas comunidades originarias. Como principal conclusión, este artículo señala que es posible una articulación etnoeducativa que promueva una formación integral donde la dimensión espiritual sea sujeto también de reflexión, cultivo, desarrollo y perfectibilidad sin ánimos de proselitismo religioso.

Este artigo apresenta a avaliação por especialistas de um protótipo de um Modelo Pedagógico de Educação para a Cidadania Ambiental destinado aos quatro primeiros anos de escolaridade em Portugal (1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico: alunos entre 6 e 9 anos). Esta avaliação integra-se numa Investigação Baseada em Design que tem por objetivo o desenvolvimento desse modelo pedagógico. Um primeiro protótipo, desenvolvido a partir da análise da literatura foi submetido a uma avaliação por três painéis de especialistas de reconhecido mérito nas áreas de Educação Ambiental, Educação do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e Líderes da Comunidade. Esta avaliação foi efetuada através da resposta a um questionário on-line (um para cada grupo de especialistas) destinado a recolher sugestões de melhoria do primeiro protótipo. Segundo os especialistas o protótipo atende aos objetivos de uma Educação para a Cidadania Ambiental, constituindo um bom ponto de partida para potenciar a consciencialização ambiental precoce e um maior contato com a realidade ambiental. Contudo, e apesar de implícitas no protótipo avaliado, foram introduzidas as competências de capacidade de tomada de decisões, capacidade de resolução de problemas, capacidade de comunicação e pensamento crítico, que foram sugeridas pelos especialistas de modo a evidenciar essas competências. Foram igualmente efetuadas algumas alterações às metodologias e às etapas do protótipo, para adequá-las aos objetivos do estudo. Desta forma, com base na análise de conteúdo das respostas dos diferentes especialistas e em literatura relevante foi construído um segundo protótipo que é apresentado no final deste artigo.

The aims of the present research are to assess the affirmative policies of the Medical School at Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) to analyze professors’ work at Racial Quota scope and changes in the university due to such a process, and to better understand how professors in Medical School face racial topics. It must be done by understanding labor as a core dimension since without workers one could not talk about society, education, and economy. Therefore, this research addresses labor from a perspective that goes beyond utilitarian purposes. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. Professors in the Medical School Faculty, who have been teaching since 2013, were the investigated subjects - this year was chosen because this is the time when Racial Quotas were put in place at UFMG. Changes in the higher education scene due to the affirmative actions that have been taken and the understanding of the Teaching Function as an educative principle allowed professors’ work to overcome models imposed by the market logic.

Background. Burrows are an important resource and attract many animals. Badgers create complicated underground shelters that other species can use. The aim of our study was to estimate the activity of animals near the badger sett in the Pyriatynskyi National Nature Park. Such long-term observations near underground shelters are best carried out with the use of camera traps. Methods. The research was conducted in 2021–2023 on the territory of the Pyriatynskyi NNP (Poltava region, Lubny district). A BOLY BG310-MFP camera trap was installed near one main badger sett. Viewing, identification of animal species and classification of camera trap images was carried out using the digiKam program. Results. The camera trap at the Pyriatynskyi NNP worked for 295 trap-days and registered 545 events. At the main badger sett 19 species of animals were recorded: 13 mammals and 6 birds. The dominant activity was in badger, fox, roe deer, red squirrel and mouse-like rodents. According to the results of observations, all registered animals were divided into two classifications: by the type of connection with sett (residents, potential residents, foragers, visitors and not interested animals) and by the frequency of visits (permanent residents, regular visitors, irregular visitors and random visitors). Foragers near the badger sett are represented by the greatest species diversity (8 species). Half of the bird species were sett random visitors, only Eurasian jay regularly visited and examined the soil mound near the entrance. Conclusions. The main badger sett in the Pyriatynskyi NNP is an attractive object both for animals that can directly use it as a shelter, and for those that receive additional benefits, for example, preying nearby. The frequency of occurrence may be an indicator of the importance of the sett for animals, but the large number of events with roe deers and squirrels requires a separate study of this issue.

Background. Cytopathological studies of the thyroid gland are important in patient diagnosis. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, most cytopathological screening procedures (including cancer screening) in Ukraine have been reduced or delayed, threatening medical personnel's ability to provide early cancer detection. The aim was to analyze the results of cytological studies of fine-needle aspiration puncture biopsy (FNA) of thyroid neoplasms according to the Bethesda international classification for 2022-2023. Methods. The study was carried out with the involvement of the database of patients who used the service of cytological studies of FNA of the thyroid gland in the "CSD" Medical Laboratory in the period of 2022-2023. The following were analyzed: 1) cytological findings according to the Bethesda international classification; 2) gender of the patient. Light microscopy (Leica Microsystems, DM2000) was used for cytological research. Results. In the period from 2022 to 2023, an analysis of 4,247 cytological studies of patients with thyroid nodules was carried out. Of them, 3,654 (86 %) concerned women, and 593 (14 %) men. Compared with previous years, where the percentage of cytological studies in women was 87 %, it was established that women are more prone to thyroid diseases. In 2022-2023, the rate of non-diagnostic materials was 18.1 %, which emphasizes the need to improve preanalytical processes. The second class, according to the international classification of Bethesda, accounted for 54.7 % of cases. Despite the decrease in the percentage of diagnosed cases of the thyroid gland during the war, the second class remains the most common class among other classes of cytological diagnosis of the thyroid gland. Such a result indicates the importance of further improvement of diagnostic methods and increasing the effectiveness of treatment of patients with thyroid gland pathology. According to the Bethesda 2023 classification, the AUS category has an average risk of malignancy of 22 %. This class was 13.2 % in the period 2022-2023. There is a trend of growth in the production of this class, compared to previous years (8.2 %). Class 4 was detected in 4.8 % of patients and decreased by almost two times compared to previous years. Grades 5 and 6, which have the highest level of malignancy, were within 4-5 %. Conclusions. During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the process of cytopathological diagnosis was violated, which led to a decrease in the number of cytological samples, particularly studies of FNA of the thyroid gland, sent to the CSD Medical Laboratory.

Published: June 2024

The aim of this paper is to identify the main characteristics of start-up exits in the Czech Republic. The research gap stems from the lack of research on the start-up exits. For this purpose, the unique Czech Founders database has been used, which includes data on 100 transactions for the 2007-2021 period. Data are evaluated using selected statistics methods. The results indicate that there are statistically significant differences between the industry and the location of the start-up. This research is the first ever to map start-up exits in the Czech context. The contribution of extending the current state of knowledge is the formulation and application of tools supporting the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems by policy makers.
