Authors: Rifat Mahmud Asif , Nahiduzzaman Nahiduzzaman , Haque Md. Anwarul , Al Azad Md. Salahuddin
Published: December 2024

Background: Tonsillectomy is a common surgical procedure, particularly in the pediatric population, to treat conditions like tonsillitis and obstructive sleep apnea. Post-operative complications, such as bleeding, infection, and delayed healing, can impact patient outcomes. This retrospective study aims to analyze the incidence and management of postoperative complications in a rural setting, where unique challenges may exist in healthcare resources and access to specialized facilities. Understanding these complications and strategies for improved patient care is essential for enhancing safety and outcomes in rural areas. The aim of t the study was to analyze the incidence and types of postoperative complications associated with tonsillectomy in a rural healthcare setting. Material & Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at the Damudya Diagnostic & Health Clinic, Shariatpur, Bangladesh. The study duration was three years from June 2020 to June 2023. The study population consisted of 289 patients who underwent tonsillectomy during the specified period. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software for comprehensive statistical insights. Results: A higher proportion of female patients (61.2%) compared to males (38.8%), with the majority falling in the “50-20” age group (73%). Recurrent tonsillitis was the most common indication (37.7%), followed by obstructive sleep apnea (30.8%) and chronic tonsilitis (16.3%). The bipolar technique was used for all patients (100%), and early postoperative complications included fever (94.1%), nausea (93.4%), and pain (100%). Delayed complications were mainly pain for two weeks (96.9%) and a low incidence of tonsillar regrowth (2.1%). Most secondary complications were managed at home (64.3%), and no anesthesia was required for secondary complication management.. Conclusions: This study sheds light on tonsillectomy in a rural setting, showing similarities to urban and rural populations in previous research. Recurrent tonsillitis remains the primary indication, and the use of the bipolar technique aligns with the guidelines. However, differences in patient preferences and management approaches suggest unique rural characteristics. Valuable insights are gained for rural tonsillectomy care.

Authors: Nongmaithem Jason , Singh Neha , Rajkumari Bishwalata
Published: December 2024

Background: Trans-alveolar extraction of the tooth is a routine procedure in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery and the role of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) in regulating alterations in alveolar dimensions following tooth extraction is one potential area of study. The study plans to evaluate the efficacy of autologous PRF in healing of trans-alveolar extractions of mandibular molars by evaluating the pain, swelling through comparison soft tissue markings and wound dehiscence on day 1, 3, 7 and 14. Material & Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted among 24 patients aged 18 to 40 years requiring trans-alveolar mandibular molars extraction with normal hematologic profile, fulfilling ASA 1 and 2 criteria with good oral hygiene and surgical site free of active infection. The study Group (12) received a-PRF after trans-alveolar extraction along with routine surgical management while control Group received routine surgical care. Results: The presence of wound dehiscence was lower in the study group as compared to control but it was not statistically significant. The mean (SD) pain score was lower in the study Group on Day 1, 3, 7 and 14 as compared to Control Group and it was found to be statistically significant (p<0.001). There was statistically significant reduction in swelling in study Group patients on Day 1, 3, 7 and 14 as compared to Control Group patients (p<0.001). Conclusions: The PRF treatment group has significantly lower pain and swelling on day 1,3,7 and 14. PRF can act as an accelerating factor in wound healing and maybe utilized in other maxillofacial surgical procedures for enhanced healing.
The role of autonomous ESP learning in acquiring transversal professional development skills in Higher Education
Authors: Athanasiou Androulla , Kakoulli Constantinou Elis , Burston Jack
Published: December 2024

The rapid developments in a globalised 21st Century world have brought about changes and increased competitiveness in the employability of graduates. Acknowledging these developments and the need for innovation, the European Union recognises the need for education and training beyond the classroom (UNESCO, 2020). Hence, Higher Education (HE) is crucial in developing transversal skills and preparing undergraduates for the labour market. Essential therefore is developing independent learning habits and a collaborative lifelong learning mindset. Likewise, competence in English at a B1 CEFR (Common European Framework of References for Languages) level is a prerequisite of independent learning in any field. Lastly, autonomous learning also depends on knowing how to exploit ubiquitous digital technologies to extend language learning into daily life. This paper aims to provide suggestions to practitioners about how the teaching of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses need to be approached as a critical autonomous learning skill for professional knowledge acquisition, task accomplishment and interpersonal communication. It advocates for a blended teaching and learning mode, tailored to future graduates’ needs. Cloud technologies, such as Google Workspace for Education (Google, 2023), potentially offer an effective type of support for the development of transversal competencies in the context of ESP in HE.

This research investigates how self-reflection, journaling, and life writing can foster significant educational and personal growth among tertiary-level students with a focus on the tumultuous period of the Covid-19 pandemic. It explores the transformative power of these methodologies in developing metacognitive skills, soft skills, and self-regulation abilities essential for students navigating contemporary challenges exacerbated by rapid technological advancements and social shifts. Utilizing a multimodal approach, students engaged in reflective writing exercises incorporating text, drawings, photography, and other media forms, revealing diverse coping mechanisms and enhanced self-awareness.

The data, drawn from anonymous student journal excerpts from 2020-2021 and 2021-2022, underscores the benefits of reflective journaling in promoting emotional resilience, intercultural awareness, and improved cognitive processes. Through detailed qualitative analysis, the study illustrates the profound impact of life writing on students' self-perception, academic performance, and overall well-being. It reveals how these practices enhance students' abilities to process complex emotions and situations, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves and their environments.

The findings advocate for the integration of reflective journaling and life writing into educational practices to better prepare students for the evolving demands of the global job market and personal life challenges, highlighting their active role in developing a versatile, resilient, and self-aware individual.
Integrating Critical Discourse Analysis in the Language Classroom: A Proposed Framework for Developing Media Critical Literacy
Authors: Evagorou-Vassiliou Dia
Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant challenges that have highlighted the importance of media literacy, especially in navigating the surge of misinformation. This paper addresses the necessity of integrating Critical Language Awareness (CLA) into language education to enhance students' ability to critically evaluate media discourse. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG), the proposed framework equips higher education undergraduate students with the skills to analyze media texts critically. This approach not only improves language proficiency but also fosters critical engagement with socio-political contexts, ultimately promoting responsible information consumption. The framework includes practical implementation steps, encompassing both online and face-to-face activities, enabling students to understand how language shapes social realities. Emphasizing a hybrid educational model that blends technology with critical pedagogy, the study addresses the evolving demands of the post-pandemic digital landscape.
Turning Tables: Redesigning Virtual Exchange through the Learners’ Experience
Authors: Rampazzo Laura , Klen-Alves Moore Viviane
Published: December 2024

In our increasingly interconnected world, we need to effectively build relationships and communicate with people from diverse cultures and linguistic backgrounds. The Covid-19 pandemic emphasized the use of digital tools and worldwide collaboration. Tandem Learning (Brammerts, 1996) connects learners from different backgrounds to assist each other in learning their languages and cultures (Telles & Vassallo, 2006). These practices have branched out from face-to-face environments to virtual exchange (VE) projects (O’Dowd, 2018). In this context, this chapter explores language learners' experiences with VE to advance programs' design and continuous development. In 2022, students from a South American institution participated in a tandem-based VE with students from North American universities. Students communicated synchronously in English and Portuguese for an extended period of time and worked in dyads to achieve the language goals they had set for themselves and complete the VE program. Following a mixed-methods approach, this study analyzes 26 learners' perspectives in a post-participation questionnaire and how these may help redesign the practice. The participants' evaluations provide valuable insights for redesigning VE projects, helping practitioners identify successful aspects to be replicated and areas needing improvement. These findings can assist other educators in promoting VEs to enhance language learning and cultural understanding.

Entrenamiento musical y desempeño en funciones ejecutivas: Diseño, metodología y resultados preliminares de un estudio piloto
Authors: Porflitt Becerra Felipe I. , Rosas Díaz Ricardo R. , Garolera Rosales Marion P.
Published: December 2024

El presente estudio descriptivo muestra hallazgos en el área de la cognición musical. Se tomó una muestra de 36 personas para administrarles distintas pruebas de desempeño cognitivo, en una batería de test diseñada especialmente para el estudio: nueve intérpretes en instrumentos rítmicos, nueve intérpretes en instrumentos melódicos, nueve intérpretes en instrumentos armónicos y nueve personas no músicos. Los resultados preliminares mostraron una relación distinta en desempeño cognitivo entre intérpretes musicales y no músicos, y a su vez, algunas diferencias en músicos según hayan tenido entrenamiento musical rítmico, melódico o armónico, por un tiempo prolongado de al menos 10.000 horas. Los aspectos cognitivos implicados en la investigación fueron principalmente funciones ejecutivas, aunque también se evaluaron otros aspectos como inteligencia fluida, atención y velocidad de procesamiento. De esta manera, la evidencia mostró que las diferencias de procesamiento neurológico guardan cierta relación con el desempeño cognitivo para los distintos elementos de la música, y se espera que la literatura que avance en estas áreas pueda profundizar en los diferentes hallazgos que aquí se muestran.
Colonialidad musical y desobediencia epistemológica en el sentido común de los estudiantes iniciales universitarios
Authors: Castro Sebastián , Shifres Favio
Published: December 2024

Las formas en que los seres humanos en las sociedades contemporáneas significan y orientan su experiencia en el mundo, está signada por una puja de sentidos hegemonizada por aquel enraizado en la cosmovisión del proyecto civilizatorio moderno (Grosfoguel y Castro Gómez, 2007). Dicho proyecto sustentado en una epistemología de la escisión sujeto-objeto como la manifestación legítima de la racionalidad cognitivo-instrumental, impone una subjetividad ad hoc a la vez que niega aquellos sentidos propios de los sujetos y culturas subalternizadas. Este doble movimiento de imposición / negación es nuclear a la colonialidad del poder (Quijano, 1992). De esta forma, creencias, actitudes, opciones ético-morales, formas de expresarse y relacionarse en el espacio social, en particular en las instituciones educativas, pueden dar cuenta de un sentido común construido sobre la base de esta puja de sentidos. La música y el sentido -común- que los sujetos construyen alrededor de ella no escapa a la lógica de la colonialidad-musical-. Este trabajo profundiza la caracterización de la mencionada colonialidad musical en el sentido común de estudiantes ingresantes a las carrera de música de la Facultad de Bellas Artes de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, a partir de evidencia recogida a través de cuestionarios. Entre sus rasgos más salientes se destaca la ponderación de la instrumentalidad del conocimiento y su concomitante ontología de música como objeto/presentación. Asimismo, en ellos se evidencian indicios de la resistencia o desobediencia epistemológica (Mignolo, 2010b) por ejemplo en la adscripción a un ontología de música como participación/acción (Turino, 2008; Small, 1997)

Música para la infancia en Chile: un acercamiento a su caracterización a través de las iniciativas integrantes de CRIN
Authors: Mondaca S. Andrés
Published: December 2024

Es bien sabido que, en las diferentes culturas, la música ha acompañado el desarrollo humano desde la infancia por medio de canciones de cuna y juegos infantiles. Sin embargo, esta música infantil presenta márgenes algo confusos y débilmente delineados. La poca claridad en su definición podría obedecer a que el género pareciera estar determinado principalmente por su público objetivo más que por elementos puramente musicales.
En el presente artículo se intentará puntualizar y detallar las principales características de la música para la infancia en nuestro medio, con el fin de trazar sus límites y acotar su definición. Para lograr este objetivo se propondrá una distinción entre “música para la infancia” y “música infantil”, se relacionará la evolución del concepto de “infancia” con la evolución del género en nuestro país y, finalmente, se analizarán y caracterizarán las letras de canciones pertenecientes a conjuntos musicales de la asociación gremial Creadores infan
Procesamiento cognitivo y formación rítmica en Educación Primaria
Authors: Álamos-Gómez José , Tejada Jesús
Published: December 2024

Con el propósito de optimizar el escaso tiempo asignado a la clase de música y responder a las necesidades de aprendizaje musical del estudiantado, uno de los caminos es considerar teorías y hallazgos de investigación sobre el pro- cesamiento cognitivo. En relación a la formación rítmico-musical, se sabe que es fundamental desde los primeros años de vida, puesto que el ritmo es un componente integral dentro del desarrollo humano y el aprendizaje. En este trabajo se presenta un panorama teórico respecto al procesamiento cogni- tivo de información rítmico-musical y se plantean posibles caminos para el logro de aprendizajes rítmicos perceptivo-productivos por parte de estudian- tes de Educación Primaria. La literatura revisada indica, por un lado, que hay elementos fundamentales para el aprendizaje rítmico-musical: pulso, rangos de tempi específicos, metro, acentuaciones (Álamos y Tejada, 2021), agrupa- ción y patrones rítmicos (Álamos y Tejada, 2020a). Por otro lado, existe una fuerte asociación entre ritmo y movimiento desde el punto de vista percepti- vo-motor (Álamos y Tejada, 2020b), y el uso de elementos relacionados con el lenguaje verbal facilitarían la adquisición de habilidades rítmicas. Estos ha- llazgos llevan a concluir que tanto la práctica rítmico-corporal como la asocia- ción entre lenguaje verbal y ritmo, son mecanismos especialmente eficientes en la formación rítmica de estudiantes de educación primaria. Esta evidencia teórica ha de ser tratada con cautela, puesto que debiera ser verificada en el futuro a través de trabajos empíricos en el contexto educativo chileno.

Elisa Gayán y Elena Waiss, dos formas de pensar la formación y educación musical a mediados del siglo XX en Chile1
Authors: Cabeza Gaínza Amanda
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo estudia el quehacer profesional de Elena Waiss (1908-
1988) y Elisa Gayán (1912-1972), poniendo especial énfasis en los proyectos
de educación musical de nivel superior que lideraron. En 1940 Elena Waiss
fundó y asumió la dirección de la Escuela Moderna de Música, la que desde
su creación se estableció como una alternativa a la formación impartida por
la Universidad de Chile. Por otro lado, Elisa Gayán en 1960 fundó y asumió
la dirección de la Escuela Vespertina de Música, quedando ésta al alero de la
institucionalidad de la Universidad de Chile. Este proyecto educativo, al ser
gratuito y sin requisitos de ingreso, posibilitó el ingreso de estratos sociales
que habían sido marginados anteriormente de dicho espacio.
Las contribuciones de Elisa Gayán y Elena Waiss al campo de la educación
musical en Chile fueron realizadas a partir de sus propias prácticas profesionales,
las que encarnaron distintas ideologías y nociones en torno a la música
y a la educación musical. Las huellas de su quehacer en sus determinados
contextos son las que hoy podemos analizar, pudiendo así reposicionar sus
trayectorias vitales, determinar su capacidad de agencia y destacar su labor en torno a la educación musical. Como consecuencia de este accionar podremos
determinar su incidencia hasta hoy, y así poder ir reconstruyendo la
historia de las mujeres en la música en Chile.
Hacia la construcción de una teorización pedagógica para la enseñanza de las estructuras de frases: evaluación de la conceptualización teórica de la enseñanza de las estructuras de frases en libros de texto originados en la disciplina estadounidense
Authors: Sandoval-Cisternas Enrique
Published: December 2024

En los últimos años se han presentado iniciativas tanto en Chile como en
España para el mejoramiento del entendimiento y enseñanza de la teoría y
el análisis musical. Entre estas iniciativas se encuentran desde jornadas de
reflexión en torno a la disciplina, hasta la formación de una asociación y congreso
específico de esta área de la música con representantes de distintos
países hispanohablantes. En este reavivado interés por mejorar la producción
académica y el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje del área de la teoría y el
análisis musical, se puede apreciar un enfoque disciplinar tendiente a abordar
elementos desarrollados por la experiencia estadounidense en el ámbito
específico del entendimiento y la enseñanza de las estructuras de frases y las
formas musicales tonales. Aunque la disciplina estadounidense se enfoca en
un repertorio de música clásica europea, esta presenta un núcleo de conocimientos
coherente y metodológicamente pedagógico para la enseñanza de
estos contenidos, lo que podría ayudar al desarrollo de nuevas teorizaciones
que incluyan modelos encontrados en la música clásica, folclórica y popular latinoamericana. Este trabajo intenta entregar una perspectiva general de la teorización estadounidense
referente a las estructuras de frases evaluando seis (6) textos utilizados de
forma consistente en universidades y conservatorios de este país, y enfocándose en los siguientes
contenidos específicos: cadencias, el motivo, la frase y semifrase, la sentencia, el
período, el período de tres frases, y el grupo de frases. Se espera que este trabajo promueva
la creación de teorizaciones que ayuden tanto al análisis y al entendimiento del flujo musical,
así como al proceso creativo de la música en sus diferentes géneros y estilos.

A precariedade dos serviços de esgotamento sanitário em municípios brasileiros de pequeno porte acentua-se pela limitação técnica e financeira, sendo fundamental que as tecnologias de tratamento sejam simples, sustentáveis, economicamente viáveis e socialmente acessíveis. Desse modo, este trabalho tem por objetivo propor um modelo de seleção de tecnologias de tratamento de esgoto sanitário descentralizado para municípios de pequeno porte. Utilizou-se o método multicritério PROMETHEE II para o ranqueamento das tecnologias e o auxílio de agentes de decisão para a priorização de critérios técnicos, ambientais, econômicos e sociais, a partir das características das bacias de esgotamento. Por meio da validação do método para as bacias de esgotamento de quatro municípios paraibanos, os resultados mostraram que a tecnologia de wetlands construídos ocupa a melhor colocação em 88,9% das bacias. Essa tecnologia se destaca pelas taxas de eficiência de remoção de matéria orgânica e sólidos suspensos, além de não gerar lodo e possuir bom desempenho em relação aos critérios sociais (produção de odores e vetores). As alternativas de tanque séptico e tanque séptico + filtro anaeróbio obtiveram pior colocação no ranking das bacias estudadas. A robustez do método e a atribuição de preferência aos critérios para bacias com diferentes classificações, indicam que o modelo é replicável para municípios de pequeno porte. Portanto, o estudo contribui para a otimização da tomada de decisão de sistemas de tratamento de esgoto, propiciando melhor uso dos recursos, redução de vulnerabilidades, bem como o desenvolvimento municipal.
Determination of water retention by the native field of the Pampa Biome with simulated rain
Authors: JAEGER CABRIELI ALINE , BEPPLER SPOHR RENATO , BAUMHARDT EDNER , RONTANI FAGNER AUGUSTO
Published: December 2024

The Pampa was one of the most neglected biomes in Brazil, mainly due to its floristic composition distinct from the others. The expansion of agriculture and forestry are often linked to the advancement of negative impacts on the hydrology of this biome. However, there isn't enough information about the hydrological functioning of small basins with native vegetation in Pampa. The objective of this study is to evaluate the applicability of two different methodologies to determine water retention by native vegetation of the Pampa Biome, using a rainfall simulator. The methodology 1 used structured samples of native field vegetation and soil, and methodology 2 used only vegetation samples without the presence of soil; all of which were submitted to the application of simulated rain. With the obtained data, the amount of water that this vegetation retains during rainy events was estimated. Using method 1, we found estimated retention values of 5.4% and 10.9%, 18.6% and 27.8%. However, through method 2 we found estimated retention values of 8.5% and 12.7%. In any case, both methods showed significant values of water retention by this vegetation, being the variations found associated with the methodology itself, or the natural characteristics of each study area.

This study concerns in to collect, via a systematic review, papers from international academic researches that employed bicycles only to collect primary data on environmental variables for research on microclimatic thermal problems in urban contexts and others. Three international article search platforms were used. After reading the titles, abstracts, and entire works, 13 articles were chosen that employed bicycles in their mobile transects between 2011 and 2023. The analytical methodologies connected them to the thermal environment employed by the research, such as the primary characterizers of urban morphology, were visible from this. It is worth emphasizing that, while the platforms offer outstanding results in terms of article discovery, it is know that there are additional publications that employed similar technique but did not appear in the platforms' results. Six more items were discovered that were absent from the chosen search engines. It is significant to observe that, after looking over the 19 articles, the most part of them were only released in the past 25 years, with the oldest being found in 1998. Research has indicated that the use of bicycles to collect environmental data is related to the possibility that bicycles are more accessible than cars and more safety than walking along cities, moreover, this approach is less expensive. Apart from the several benefits that studies utilizing this methodology observed, it is believed that bicycles would be a more environmentally responsible and sustainable mode of transportation than alternatives. In this manner, it is hoped that additional research utilizing the effective mobile measurement technique with bicycles would be carried out in the future.

Human thermal perception, or thermal comfort, is a critical variable that directly influences the health, productivity, and well-being of populations. However, specific studies on thermal comfort in the Pantanal and its sub-regions are scarce. This study analyzes the distribution of thermal comfort classes in the Pantanal and its sub-regions using the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) for the period of 1979 to 2023. The main objective was to assess thermal discomfort in the region, identifying comfort classes and examining the influence of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events on this index. The analysis, based on reanalysis climatic data and statistical techniques, mapped the areas most susceptible to thermal stress. The central and southern regions of the Pantanal, such as Porto Murtinho, stood out as the most uncomfortable due to heat, while sub-regions in the north, such as Cáceres and Poconé, showed lower levels of thermal stress. Additionally, it was observed that the months of October and November present the highest UTCI values, indicating extreme thermal discomfort due to heat during the spring. Summer was identified as the most uncomfortable season in terms of heat, while winter showed moderate heat discomfort. The investigation of ENSO events revealed a tendency for greater thermal discomfort during La Niña years. It is concluded that there is a progressive increase in heat-related thermal discomfort in the Pantanal region, with a particularly pronounced trend in the spring.

Recent studies indicate a reduction of total rainfall and an increase of extreme rainfall events in the Brazilian Northeast region. It is crucial to understand the concentration of daily rainfall for environmental planning and land management. This study performs the analysis of the daily rainfall concentration for the Paraíba State in the period between 1970 and 2019, using data from 26 rainfall stations across the State. Additionally, to the total annual precipitation (PP), the following concentration indicators were applied: frequency of days with precipitation up to 20mm (R20MM), maximum daily rainfall (Rx1Day), maximum rainfall over 5 days (Rx5Day), frequency of days with precipitation in the 10th (P10), 90th (P90), 95th (P95), and 99th (P99) percentiles, number of rainy days (NRD), and the Concentration Index (CI), which estimates the contribution of daily rainfall to the annual total. The Mann-Kendall test and Sen's slope were applied to identify possible trends in the time series and its magnitude. Spatially, the highest concentration values were observed in the Litoral and Brejo regions, decreasing towards the State hinterland. Temporally, most indicators displayed negative trends, suggesting reductions in both annual rainfall totals and rainfall on isolated days or groups of days. However, the CI showed predominantly an upward trend, indicating increased rainfall concentration. P10 values also exhibited an increase tendency, suggesting that days with the lowest rainfall amounts are becoming more frequent.
News They Can Use: Giving Effective Feedback
Authors: Helding Lynn
Published: December 2024

Abstract: Voice teachers are routinely called upon to evaluate singers in auditions and juries. Terms synonymously used for evaluation are both “assessment” and “feedback,” yet each are quite different; assessment is judgement, whereas feedback offers educational tools for growth. In this article, aspects of feedback from motor learning research are considered before turning to research in medical education, where feedback as a learning tool has been studied due to the life or death consequences of poor educational outcomes in the health professions. The article ends with evidence-based resources for combatting “vanishing feedback,” empowering evaluators to deliver effective feedback with empathy.

En el ámbito de los daños a la persona, las afectaciones producidas en el ámbito laboral por el fenómeno mobbing puede lesionar a los sujetos, relacionado también a las diversas voces de daños, como el biológico, a la salud, moral y al bienestar. El Código Civil peruano, de 1984, al reconocer en el artículo 1985 la categoría general del daño a la persona permite protegerse del terror psicológico o mobbing. En el presente trabajo se estudia esta figura y su relación con los diversos tipos de daño a la persona.

The present study was aimed at assessing the potential of two important plants of the Transcaucasia – Betula medwediewii Regel (Caucasian birch) and Veratrum album L. (white hellebore) - as bioindicators of pollution of the environment. Betula medwediewii is a subalpine and alpine deciduous tree species that is significant for soil and habitat development. Veratrum album is found in the high altitude regions, is also known to withstand extreme conditions and has been used in herbal medicine. Elemental analysis was conducted on the plant leaves for total heavy metals such as aluminium, cadmium, cobalt, lead, and zinc. Results of the study showed that, in the leaves of B. medwediewii, aluminium, cadmium, and zinc heavy metals were found to be within permissible levels but levels of cobalt and lead were above permissible levels. For V. album cadmium and zinc also remained within the normal range but aluminum, cobalt and lead levels were notably high. The results of the study indicate the distinct accumulation characteristics that these species possess a unique behaviour in the presence of heavy metal pollution in the Transcaucasian environment and both plants have a potential capability as bio indicators.
