Objetivou-se com essa revisão descrever as características ambientais, comportamentais, desempenho e qualidade dos ovos de galinhas poedeiras criadas em confinamento com diferentes densidades de alojamento. As aves requerem do meio em que vivem condições precisas de ambiente, tais como: temperatura e umidade relativa do ar, pressão, luminosidade, conteúdo de oxigênio, anidrido carbônico, nitrogênio, destacando que as aves possuem boa capacidade de adaptação que lhes permitem, até certo limite de adversidade, sobreviverem e produzirem quando algumas variantes são transformadas. A tipologia das instalações deve ser adequada ao clima do país, possibilitando a manutenção das variáveis ambientais, como a temperatura e umidade relativa do ar, velocidade do vento e outros que aferem o sistema, dentro das extremidades que propiciem conforto ao aviário das aves. O distanciamento dessas variáveis ambientais dos valores adjacentes à região termoneutra dos animais, perturbam o mecanismo termodinâmico que as aves possuem para se defenderem de extremos climáticos e, com isso, pode ocorrer o desperdício de energia.
DISCIPLINA OU RESSOCIALIZAÇÃO? RACIONALIDADE PUNITIVA, TRABALHO PRISIONAL E POLÍTICA PENITENCIÁRIA.

Published: August 2024

O artigo aborda a problemática da ressocialização de indivíduos após o cumprimento de pena no Brasil, destacando a negligência do Estado e do Poder Judiciário em garantir os direitos assegurados pela Lei de Execução Penal (LEP), resultando em um sistema prisional falho. Utilizando o conceito de Sociedade Disciplinar de Michel Foucault, a pesquisa analisa criticamente as falhas da LEP, incluindo a falta de programas de trabalho e educação, superlotação e insuficiente assistência jurídica, que comprometem a ressocialização dos presos e perpetuam a reincidência criminal. A análise revela que o sistema prisional atua como um mecanismo de exclusão social. O artigo propõe a implementação de programas educacionais e de qualificação profissional, além de assistência jurídica e psicossocial, para promover a verdadeira ressocialização e garantir os direitos humanos no sistema prisional brasileiro. Reformas estruturais e políticas públicas integradas são sugeridas para enfrentar a desigualdade racial e socioeconômica e assegurar a inclusão social dos egressos.

A cidade de Ji-Paraná está localizada na região central do estado de Rondônia e a bacia que a abastece é a Bacia do Rio Urupá. A cidade de Ji-Paraná está em constante crescimento, apresentando aumento em atividades antropológicas, além da progressiva necessidade da utilização dos recursos hídricos para abastecimento da população. Neste estudo, utilizando-se do software de código aberto, QGIS, para processamento de informações geográficas e revisão bibliográfica, buscou-se identificar, através de dados, cálculos e mapas, a situação aproximada do Rio Urupá em relação à captação de água em Ji-Paraná e sua segurança hídrica. Os resultados mostram que a bacia do Rio Urupá, desde sua nascente, até o ponto de captação de água para abastecimento em Ji-Paraná, apresenta empreendimentos como laticínios, condomínios, frigoríficos, pisciculturas e áreas de lazer, que além de poluírem o recurso hídrico, caso não tratados, podem percorrer até o ponto de captação de água em Ji-Paraná, que abastece pouco mais da metade da população. Desta maneira, além da possibilidade do recurso hídrico contaminado, a população padece de tratamento de esgotos, evidenciando que não tem sido adequado o método de tratamento e distribuição de água da bacia do Rio Urupá, sendo necessária a implantação de maiores fiscalizações e conscientização ambiental.

A segurança e a palatabilidade dos alimentos para animais de estimação são aspectos críticos que precisam ser cuidadosamente gerenciados, especialmente no caso dos alimentos extrusados. A oxidação lipídica, um processo químico que degrada as gorduras presentes nos alimentos, pode comprometer a segurança e a qualidade dos produtos. Esse processo resulta em alterações indesejáveis no sabor, aroma e valor nutricional dos alimentos, afetando negativamente a aceitação pelos animais. Para garantir a palatabilidade dos alimentos extrusados e evitar a oxidação lipídica, é essencial utilizar antioxidantes de alta qualidade e aplicar métodos adequados durante o processamento e armazenamento do Pet Food. O controle rigoroso desses fatores contribui para a produção de alimentos mais seguros e atrativos para os animais.

Published: August 2024

Background: Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) regulates cellular development and energy homeostasis. However, the roles of its subunits in organ development remain largely unknown.Methods: We explored the roles of PI3K catalytic subunits in steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1)-expressing cells through knockout (KO) of the p110α and p110β subunits.Results: We examined mice with a double KO of p110α and p110β in SF1-expressing cells (p110αβ KOSF1). Although these animals exhibited no significant changes in the development of the ventromedial hypothalamus, we noted pronounced hypotrophy in the adrenal cortex, testis, and ovary. Additionally, corticosterone and aldosterone levels were significantly reduced. The absence of these subunits also resulted in decreased body weight and survival rate, along with impaired glucose homeostasis, in p110αβ KOSF1 mice.Conclusion: The data demonstrate the specific roles of PI3K catalytic subunits in the development and function of SF1-expressing organs.

Published: August 2024

Islamic education, with its predominantly Arabic literature, presents a challenge for educators to effectively guide their students in understanding Islam through its primary literature. Curriculum development, learning models, strategies, time allocation, and educators’ abilities are among the agendas that demand innovation and enhanced abilities. At SD Unggulan Assunniyyah Kencong Jember, there is an innovation in Kitab Kuning learning that aims to improve students’ understanding of Islam. We implement this program for students who have completed the final exam of the Qur’an by grouping the Tahfidz class and the Kitab Kuning class. This study employs a qualitative approach of a descriptive nature. Field observation is used to collect data. This study found that implementing a learning model that stimulates students’ understanding can reduce the time it takes to learn the Kitab Kuning. The learning models used are the probing-prompting learning model and the expository learning model, which emphasizes active interaction and practical understanding. We also teach students how to read the Kitab Kuning in the context of Indonesian and pesantren traditions, including the reading of nadzom. The results of this study demonstrate learning innovations that accelerate students’ understanding of Arabic grammar, allowing them to master the Kitab Kuning more efficiently.
AI-Driven Leadership: A Conceptual Framework for Educational Decision-Making in the AI Era
Authors: Langeveldt Dean Collin
Published: August 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way students are educated in many ways, like improving teaching and learning, personalizing learning experiences, making things more efficient and effective, and promoting creativity and inclusivity. AI can cause problems for educational leaders. It can bring up ethical, legal, social, and cultural issues. It also requires leaders to learn new skills and abilities for the AI age. There is a need for Educational leaders to be proactive and strategic in order to make the most of the advantages and find solutions for the issues related to AI in education. This article aimed to examine how artificial intelligence is used in leadership in education. It also proposed a framework to understand and develop AI-based leadership in education. The basic idea of the conceptual framework relies on the theories of AI, leadership, and decision-making. It has four parts: inputs, processes, outputs, and feedback. The impact of the conceptual framework on education practices and policies was also examined. The article also discussed how education practices and policies are influenced by the conceptual framework. Additionally, the article explored the relationship between the conceptual framework and its effects on education practices and policies. The article highlighted the framework’s limitations and suggests potential areas for future research. This study contributes to the existing literature on enhancing learning through technology.

Consumer awareness and the ethical footprint of fast fashion with a focus on Shein
Authors: Azevedo Inês Miguel , Alves Ticiana , Pinto Borges Ana , Vieira Bruno , Vieira Elvira , Mesquita Susana
Published: August 2024

With an emphasis on the Shein brand, this article explores how consumers view the environmental and social implications of the fast fashion industry’s growth and how it has affected consumer behaviour. By comparing results before and after learning about the tactics and strategies used by the brand under study, as well as by testing the proposed hypotheses, this study, which focuses on generations Y and Z, seeks to understand, and analyse how consumers view the environmental and social implications of the fast fashion industry’s growth and how that has affected consumer behaviour. According to the research, once consumers become aware of Shein’s practices and policies, their consumption has negative effects regarding the brand’s perception. This research helps to clarify some of Shein’s dubious business practices. The study places these practices in context and shows how they affect consumer trust and brand reputation. Theoretical and practical discourse improves understanding of the topic’s importance by identifying areas for practice improvement and putting forth important management implications.
A Concept-Aware API for the Taxonomic Checklist Infrastructure in Germany
Authors: Hüllbusch Elisabeth , Güntsch Anton , Luther Katja , May Rudolf , Müller Andreas , Riemenschneider Falko , Ludwig Gerhard
Published: August 2024

Biological data refer to taxa (e.g., species) or to populations (e.g., all individuals of a taxon in a region). Scientific names of organisms are commonly used as identifiers for those data, e.g., in databases. However, scientific names are assigned (linked) to taxonomic concepts, which very often change over time or space, e.g., when a species name refers to different infraspecific taxa in different regions (Geoffroy and Berendsohn 2003). For this reason, the names themselves are not sufficient to unambiguously assign factual data to the taxonomic concepts they belong to. The problem has been discussed for many years, and data models such as the Berlin Taxonomic Information Model (Berendsohn et al. 2003) and the Common Data Model of the EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy (Güntsch et al. 2018) allow taxonomic concepts to be represented and linked. Taxon concepts are considered here as sets of (potential) specimens. Thus, relationships between taxa can be handled the same as mathematical set relationships (Fig. 1).

From a user perspective, however, there are hardly any interfaces that can be used to effectively access taxonomic concepts and their relationships, for example to semantically annotate research data with name references. The German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) and the National Research Data Infrastructure NFDI4Biodiversity have cooperatively developed an API (Application Programming Interface) for accessing available German species checklists, where taxonomic concept relationships between checklist versions can flexibly be queried and integrated into other systems. The query for scientific names includes a similarity search and initially returns the taxa with matching names. In a subsequent query, hierarchies, synonyms and the concept relationships to name usages in other checklist versions are output (e.g., congruence, inclusion, pro-parte-inclusion, interference, exclusion, and total exclusion).

From this output, it is possible to recognize, in particular, to which taxa an assignment of information is problematic.

The API is currently in the testing phase and is used in the context of NFDI4Biodiversity for the annotation and integration of research data.

Perspective and a proposed study to investigate the threat of hypertension and renal damage due to heavy metal pollution of rivers affected by illegal mining activities (galamsey) in Ghana
Authors: Ahiabu Mawutor Kwame , Aboagye Frank
Published: August 2024

Several water assessments of some rivers affected by illegal mining (locally known as galamsey) activities in Ghana have recorded high levels of heavy metals and metalloids (such as lead, cadmium, copper, arsenic, mercury, iron and zinc); this poses significant health threats to communities served by affected rivers. To the best of our knowledge, the haematological study by Armah and colleagues is the only one that revealed staggering folds of blood metal concentrations beyond the WHO-required levels in inhabitants of the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality and Prestea-Huni Valley District of Ghana. As inhabitants of communities near galamsey sites are constantly exposed to heavy metals since some individuals rely on polluted rivers for domestic purposes, it is necessary to investigate and understand the threat of hypertension and renal damage associated with this unfortunate situation. We share our perspective and a proposed study to elucidate the exact hypertensive and renal damage associated with heavy metal exposure in galamsey-polluted rivers in Ghana. Onsite/human studies should provide important information about blood metal concentrations and current hypertension, renal function and genetic status of individuals exposed to heavy metals in specific galamsey-infested areas. Experimental studies using Sprague-Dawley rat models should determine the proportion of anthropogenic contribution to the levels of heavy metals in the bloodstream. Furthermore, the experimental studies should determine the extent (concentrations and time) and the possible mechanisms/pathways of galamsey-related heavy metals that trigger the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of hypertension and renal damage.
From Pathophysiology to Prevention: Implementing a Vaccine-Preventable Diseases Project for Pre-Nursing Students
Authors: Custer Sabra , Smith Nikki R. , Alleyne Dwayne , Turner Stephanie
Published: August 2024

Background:

Information about vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) and vaccinations should be included throughout nursing curricula to prepare future nurses to promote vaccination with patients and combat misinformation.

Method:

In a large, pre-nursing course, faculty designed a self-directed activity focused on VPDs and vaccinations that required students to analyze various sources and create presentations about these topics.

Results:

Student feedback indicated the learning outcomes of this educational intervention were largely met and that students felt positive about this type of activity overall.

Conclusion:

Including information in early nursing courses regarding VPDs and vaccinations can positively influence students' knowledge, confidence, and perceptions of these topics. Independent student projects involving higher cognitive domain levels can be successfully integrated into large pre-nursing courses.

Vigotski e a formação estética de professores: diálogos com a produção científica no Brasil
Authors: Rausch Rita Buzzi , Schlindwein Luciane Maria
Published: August 2024

Esta investigação analisa pesquisas que discutem o desenvolvimento estético de professores na perspectiva vigotskiana no Brasil. Realizamos uma revisão sistemática das pesquisas que investigam a formação estética de professores, buscando apreender quais são os principais conceitos da teoria vigotskiana que fundamentam as pesquisas selecionadas. Foram analisadas as produções publicadas no período de 2008 a 2020, no Banco de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES e no IBICT. O corpus de análise constituiu-se de nove teses e 24 dissertações. Os conceitos-chave mais encontrados foram: atividade criadora/criação; imaginação; arte; educação estética; experiência; vivência; reação estética; emoções; catarse; sentimentos; sentidos e fantasia. A maioria das pesquisas se utiliza de vários conceitos simultaneamente, em decorrência da intensa relação entre eles. Entretanto, poucos foram os trabalhos que aprofundaram a estética em si, bem como o ápice desse processo - a catarse. Poucos também foram os trabalhos que relacionaram os conceitos de arte e estética às ideias basilares de Vigotski como consciência, cultura, pensamento e linguagem. Entendemos que, por meio da revisão sistemática realizada, podemos oferecer elementos para compreender os principais conceitos de Vigotski articulados em pesquisas sobre formação estética de professores, fortalecendo certa identidade investigativa nesse campo e destacando algumas de suas fragilidades. Outra contribuição volta-se à valorização da dimensão sensível e criativa do professor no desenvolvimento profissional docente.
Self-regulated learning with mathematics learning outcomes in terms of students' interest in learning mathematics
Authors: Abror Muhammad Haikal , 'Ulya Himmatul , Dewanti Sintha Sih
Published: August 2024

Nowadays mathematics is still considered difficult, so it needs more attention because mathematics is the basis of other sciences. One of the factors that influence Mathematics Learning Outcomes (MLO) is Self-Regulated Learning (SRL). SRL plays a role in the process of planning and managing student academic assignments. Interest in Learning Mathematics (ILM) also has an important role in learning mathematics. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of each SRL aspect on mathematics learning outcomes and to determine the effect of SRL on MLO in terms of the student's ILM level. The author uses mixed methods with a sequential exploratory research design that begins with a qualitative phase using descriptive qualitative research and then a quantitative phase using a correlation test. SRL aspects include task analysis, self-motivated belief, self-control, monitoring, self-consideration, and self-reaction. The results of this study are that there is an influence between SRL aspects on MLO, except for the task analysis aspect. SRL with MLO also does not have a significant effect when viewed from the ILM level.
A Mocidade Portuguesa (MP) e a Mocidade Portuguesa Feminina (MPF): educação e identidade nacional no período salazarista
Authors: Gondim Amanda Marques de Carvalho , Silva Edson Tenório da
Published: August 2024

O Estado Novo foi como ficou conhecido o período da ditadura de Salazar em Portugal e consistiu na interferência e influência direta na cultura do país. Seu principal instrumento de ação para a divulgação de ideias nacionalistas era a educação das crianças e jovens. Duas instituições foram criadas para atender a esse intento: A Mocidade Portuguesa (MP) e a Mocidade Portuguesa Feminina (MPF). A primeira foi criada em 1936, e a segunda, em 1937, tendo o mesmo sentido em promover uma educação moral voltada aos valores cristãos e cívicos, de combate ao liberalismo e ao marxismo. Para tanto, suas atuações eram em âmbito escolar e fora da escola, com atividades diversas, de caráter moral e cívico, a exemplo de acampamentos e ações assistencialistas aos mais pobres. Finda a ditadura salazarista em 1974, tanto a MP quanto a MPF deixaram de fazer sentido em uma sociedade voltada para elementos culturais ligados à democracia e equidade de gênero. Para este artigo, as instituições serão apresentadas em suas perspectivas ideológicas por meio dos boletins e jornais criados de forma institucional, a fim de divulgar as ideias a serem mantidas, segundo o governo, em virtude de fazerem parte da nacionalidade portuguesa e combatendo uma educação liberal ou marxista. Os boletins e jornais possuíam periodicidade mensal e em alguns períodos, quinzenal. Foram mais de duzentos números consultados entre o Jornal da MP, o Boletim do Comissariado Nacional, o Boletim para dirigentes da MPF Centros Primários e o jornal Lusitas, publicados entre os anos de 1937 e 1963. Apesar de todo esforço institucional, observou-se a ausência de recursos em alguns momentos para a manutenção desses materiais de formação e propaganda, embora fossem de aquisição obrigatória aos filiados e filiadas tanto da MP quanto da MPF. Observa-se, ainda, a interferência direta do governo ditatorial português na condução das duas instituições educacionais de caráter não formal refletidas no cotidiano escolar, mas que não conseguiu a totalidade almejada e seu engajamento juvenil, pois ambas deixaram de existir com o modelo governamental que as criou.
Narrações para a fascistização da infância no livro ‘O Brasil É Bom’ (1938): Pinocchiate à brasileira?
Authors: Santos Ademir Valdir dos
Published: August 2024

O objetivo do estudo é analisar o teor do livro O Brasil é Bom, edição de 1938 do Departamento Nacional de Propaganda (D.N.P.). A metodologia está embasada na Análise de Conteúdo, aplicada em conjugação com referenciais teórico-metodológicos dedicados à investigação sobre o fascismo e a aspectos da produção literária destinada à infância. Os resultados evidenciam similaridades entre a textualidade d’O Brasil é bom, gerado como ferramenta de propaganda no contexto da ditadura do Estado Novo, e as pinocchiate produzidas no ambiente do fascismo italiano. Verifica-se que se as tramas em que o boneco Pinóquio foi envolvido em nome da propaganda fascista são recheadas de mensagens para a infância italiana, que apelam para um embasamento amalgamado por violências e preconceitos de diversos tipos em relação aos inimigos do regime mussoliniano, em diversas das seções do livro brasileiro examinado se compreende que os conceitos, as explicações, assim como os alertas e as ordens em relação aos fundamentos da ação humana sugeridos ao menino brasileiro são constituídas por narrações igualmente fascistizantes.
β-Adrenergic Agonist–Induced Lactic Acidosis: A Case Report
Authors: Blush Raymond R.
Published: August 2024

β-Adrenergic agonist medications such as albuterol are the mainstay for treatment of patients with acute asthma exacerbations. Patients who present to the emergency department with severe symptoms are often treated with multiple albuterol doses in sequence to maximize the impact of the medications, relax bronchoconstriction, and relieve their breathlessness. Patients who present with acute dyspnea have numerous potential causes of hyperlactatemia and acidosis including an uncommonly recognized outcome of albuterol administration. This clinical case report outlines a scenario where a patient who was treated for an acute asthma exacerbation had rising lactate levels despite improving clinically. Causes of elevated lactate levels are discussed, particularly related to β-adrenergic agonist use, and considerations for monitoring and withdrawal of albuterol administration are outlined.
Acute Streptococcus pneumoniae Meningitis: A Case Report
Authors: McCarthy Sarah , Villarreal Nicholas , Sailor Mandy
Published: August 2024

A 69-year-old woman without significant medical history presented to an emergency department for evaluation and management of altered mental status and a 10-day history of worsening symptoms of upper respiratory infection. Two days previously, she had been evaluated at an urgent care center, where she reported productive cough and neck pain. Evaluation in the emergency department aroused suspicions of sepsis and meningitis, and computed tomography of the head revealed nontraumatic pneumocephalus with evidence of bony erosion of the sinus into the brain. Culture results revealed disseminated Streptococcus pneumoniae. Cerebral vasculopathy secondary to the meningitis caused bilateral acute ischemic strokes in areas of the brain, with the potential to lead to significant disability.
Assessing Video as an Immersive Tool for Teaching and Learning Methods of Attitude, Ethics & Communication (AETCOM) for Undergraduate Medical Students
Authors: Sulekha N. , Neeraj M.
Published: August 2024

Background: Teaching Attitude, Ethics & Communication (AETCOM) is a new concept for medical education in India. It has been observed that skills of communication, attitude and ethical implications while taking informed consent is an important facet of AETCOM. In this study, a video has been developed for better understanding of interaction with patients.Aim: To identify the perception and impact of the video on teachers and learners (undergraduate medical students) to learn complex topics like empathy, confidentiality and informed consent.Methodology: This prospective interventional study was conducted on 151 MBBS students and 14 faculty members of various disciplines over a period of four months (Aug-Nov 2023). Students were divided into two groups, one group was taught the topic as an interactive lecture while the other was additionally shown the in-house pre-recorded video. The students were assessed on the basis of MCQs on google form and reflections. Faculty members were also given a questionnaire to identify their perceptions. The reflections of students were assessed using the REFLECT Rubric.Results: On assessment of learning using MCQs 82% and 94% students answered correctly in Groups I and II respectively, which was found to be statistically significant. Most students and faculty gave their opinion in favour of inclusion of video in teaching AETCOM topics.Conclusion: Inclusion of the video has resulted in a holistic approach to developing AETCOM skills amongst the medical students in this study.

Published: August 2024

Neutrophils can efficiently trigger cytotoxicity toward tumor cells and other target cells upon engagement of the IgA receptor CD89. However, the cell-intrinsic factors that influence the induction of cell death upon exposure to neutrophil effector mechanisms in vivo remain largely unknown. To uncover genetic regulators that influence target cell sensitivity to IgA-induced neutrophil-mediated killing, we used a human CD89 (hCD89) transgenic mouse model in which IgA-mediated killing of Her2-positive CD47-deficient murine target cells is mediated by neutrophils. Using a genome-wide in vivo screening approach, we demonstrate that deletion of the gene encoding inositol-tetrakisphosphate 1 kinase (ITPK1) increases survival of target cells in anti-Her2 IgA-treated mice. Moreover, we show that this effect depends on neutrophil activity and on the ITPK1 kinase domain. Notably, ITPK1 deficiency did not measurably impact survival of IgA-opsonized target cells in in vitro systems, underscoring the importance of in vivo screening systems to uncover physiologically relevant regulators of neutrophil killing.
An Integrated Signaling Threshold Initiates IgG Response toward Virus-like Immunogens

Published: August 2024

Class-switched neutralizing Ab (nAb) production is rapidly induced upon many viral infections. However, due to the presence of multiple components in virions, the precise biochemical and biophysical signals from viral infections that initiate nAb responses remain inadequately defined. Using a reductionist system of synthetic virus-like structures, in this study, we show that a foreign protein on a virion-sized liposome can serve as a stand-alone danger signal to initiate class-switched nAb responses without T cell help or TLR but requires CD19. Introduction of internal nucleic acids (iNAs) obviates the need for CD19, lowers the epitope density (ED) required to elicit the Ab response, and transforms these structures into highly potent immunogens that rival conventional virus-like particles in their ability to elicit strong Ag-specific IgG. As early as day 5 after immunization, structures harboring iNAs and decorated with just a few molecules of surface Ag at doses as low as 100 ng induced all IgG subclasses of Ab in mice and reproduced the IgG2a/2c restriction that is long observed in live viral infections. These findings reveal a shared mechanism for the nAb response in mice. High ED is capable but not necessary for driving Ab secretion. Instead, even a few molecules of surface Ag, when combined with nucleic acids within these structures, can trigger strong IgG production. As a result, the signaling threshold for induction of IgG in individual B cells is set by dual signals originating from both ED on the surface and the presence of iNAs within viral particulate immunogens.
SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 variant: a short review
Authors: Malay Sarkar , Madabhavi Irappa V. , Tripathi Anurag
Published: August 2024

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is evolving continuously, and many variants have been detected over the last few years. SARS-CoV-2, as an RNA virus, is more prone to mutating. The continuous evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is due to genetic mutation and recombination during the genomic replication process. Recombination is a naturally occurring phenomenon in which two distinct viral lineages simultaneously infect the same cellular entity in an individual. The evolution rate depends on the rate of mutation. The rate of mutation is variable among the RNA viruses, with the SARS-CoV-2 virus exhibiting a lower rate of mutation than other RNA viruses. The novel 3′-to-5′ exoribonuclease proofreading machinery is responsible for a lower rate of mutation. Infection due to the SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus has been reported from around the world during the same period of fall and winter, resulting in a “tripledemic.” The JN.1 variant, which evolved from the predecessor, the omicron variant BA.2.86, is currently the most dominant globally. The impact of the JN.1 variant on transmissibility, disease severity, immune evasion, and diagnostic and therapeutic escape will be discussed.
Lecture-Based Instruction on Salary Negotiation for Professional Athletic Training Students: An Educational Technique
Authors: Cavallario Julie M. , Campbell Thomas R. , Welch Bacon Cailee E.
Published: August 2024

Context

Low salary is a frequently cited reason for attrition from the athletic training profession. Researchers have determined that athletic trainers (ATs) entering the first hiring process, usually newly credentialed graduates of professional athletic training programs (ATPs), are the least likely to negotiate, resulting in lowered earning potential across their careers. It is necessary to instruct athletic training students on the importance of salary negotiation before the completion of their professional preparation.

Objective

Describe a lecture-based approach to include salary negotiation content into ATPs.

Background

Employing constructivist learning theory, didactic lecture content with applicable strategies for salary negotiation is sufficient for students to understand which strategies can be used to negotiate for a higher salary during the hiring process.

Description

Before the didactic experience, second-year graduate ATP students self-assessed their knowledge of, familiarity with, and comfort in negotiating during the hiring process. A single 3-hour lecture on negotiation was provided to students that included reasons to negotiate, financial ramifications of not negotiating, strategies for determining appropriate salaries, example language to use, and a discussion of timing to initiate negotiations. Students reassessed their knowledge, familiarity, and comfort within 1 week of receiving the didactic content. Six months after ATP completion, students reported whether they negotiated during their first hiring process.

Educational Advantages

Although not required for professional ATPs, the inclusion of content specific to salary negotiation in the hiring process increases future ATs’ understanding of negotiation processes and their comfort level in initiating negotiations earlier in their career.

Conclusion

Students’ understanding of negotiation during the hiring process and comfort with attempting negotiation increased following the lecture-based technique. If ATs can achieve higher earnings earlier in their career, they can increase their lifetime earning potential, and they may find the profession to be more financially sustainable, thus decreasing professional attrition.
HIV and sexual risk behaviours by 18-25-year-old youth at Nyandeni Municipality in the Eastern Cape

Published: August 2024

Background: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic in South Africa is among the worst in the world; in 2017, 38% of new infections were among young people aged 15–24 years. Estimates for HIV infection in 2020 worldwide indicate that there will be 1.5 million new cases, 10.2 million untreated cases (out of 37.7 million), and 680 000 deaths from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Despite a 46% decline in new HIV infections among adolescents and youth over the previous 10 years, two of the seven new HIV infections in 2019 occurred in people between the ages of 15 and 24. HIV prevalence among young people has remained unchanged since 2008. This consistent pattern among people under 30 years of age indicates a failure in HIV prevention.Aim: The study aimed to explore HIV and sexual risk behaviours by 18–25-year-old youth at Nyandeni Municipality in the Eastern Cape province.Setting: The investigation was conducted Nyandeni Municipality in the Eastern Cape province.Methods: Qualitative approach was used to explore, describe and investigate the knowledge and attitudes about HIV among the 18–25 years old youthResults: The findings are based on three themes namely, knowledge and attitudes about HIV and AIDS in youth, sexual risk behaviour among youth, and HIV prevention strategies.Conclusion: This exploratory investigation confirms that the participants’ knowledge is limited by showing that most of them knew very little about HIV and AIDS infection and prevention. Ongoing educational initiatives are required.Contribution: Youth experience high HIV incidence because of their knowledge gaps.
Exploring pre-service teachers’ knowledge of efficient calculation strategies
Authors: Kumm Marisa , Graven Mellony H.
Published: August 2024

Background: National and international assessments show South Africa’s underperformance in mathematics. As many learners already fall behind in the early grades, where foundational number sense should be established, addressing the challenges of number sense in the Foundation Phase (FP) is important. Research recognises the need to better develop pre-service primary teachers’ (PSTs’) mathematical content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Understanding the importance that CK PSTs bring to their tertiary studies is needed.Aim: The study explores, what knowledge do third-year FP PSTs have of additive reasoning mental mathematics strategies?Setting: We share data from a larger study of PSTs’ CK and PCK of additive reasoning strategies (a key aspect of number sense) before additive reasoning lectures with 80 third-year FP PSTs during their mathematics methodology course at a private institution.Methods: Participants included 54 of the 59 PSTs who agreed to take part in the study and were present in the first session when the pre-questionnaire (the focus of this article) was administered. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of PSTs’ methods used, performance on the pre-questionnaire calculation items and explanations of methods and strategies were carried out.Results: Results highlight the need for explicit teaching of efficient calculation strategies along with required fluencies for using strategies.Conclusion: Knowledge of additive reasoning strategies cannot be taken for granted as established at school.Contribution: The findings of the study highlight the need for explicit teaching of efficient mental strategies such as Bridging Through Ten, Jump Strategy and Rounding and Adjusting in PSTs’ studies.

The time-consuming and costly preparation of a speech corpus requires careful consideration of its composition and the categorization of the recorded metadata at the time of its design. The variety of speech events included in the national reference corpus should reflect the diversity of contemporary spoken language as much as possible. We will be interested in how to categorize the annotations used to describe the context of the speech events in order to achieve this representativeness without completely giving up the intercomparability of the data. A thoughtful design allows us to minimize the time-consuming tag adjustments required in subsequent corpus upgrades. We will carry out a comparative analysis of domestic and foreign speech corpora to critically evaluate the four basic categories of annotations used to describe the context of a speech situation. We will review the design of the foreign reference speech corpora FOLK, BNC2014, ORAL2013, the Spoken Dutch Corpus and C-ORAL-ROM and compare them with the current reference corpus of spoken Slovene Gos 2.1. We will problematize the selected annotations and highlight the more problematic areas that would require further consideration and potential future re-categorization.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex disease that poses various challenges to patients. Health Literacy (HL) is considered essential for the effective management of CKD. This phenomenological study explored health literacy in 12 patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis in Padang, Indonesia. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted, and the data were analysed and interpreted using the hermeneutical phenomenological approach of Diekelmann. We found six themes: sources of information and knowledge, differences in patient attitudes and behaviors as health information seekers, learning needs for successful treatment and care, effective learning and education methods, experiences with alternative treatments, and positive relationship with the medical team. The findings revealed significant disparities in patients' relationships to health information; findings also indicated that interaction with healthcare professionals is crucial and may make up for HL difficulties.
