Published: February 2024

Despite the abundance of research evaluating working memory training outcomes in children, few studies have examined the underlying cognitive mechanisms. This study aimed to contribute understanding by exploring whether working memory capacity (maximum span) and/or efficiency (basic and cognitive processing speeds), two proposed cognitive mechanisms, are associated with children’s working memory performance immediately and 6-months post-intervention. We used data from a previous trial in primary school children (7–11 years) who completed working memory training (n = 52) or an active control (n = 36), comprising 10 sessions (each 20-minutes) in class over two weeks. Children completed five working memory measures at baseline, immediately and 6-months post-intervention: two Backwards Span and two Following Instructions measures (same paradigms as training activities), and one n-back measure (different paradigm). Maximum span, basic and cognitive processing speeds, and performance were calculated for each measure. Associations between change in maximum span, processing speeds and change in performance on the working memory measures from baseline to immediately and 6-months post-intervention did not differ between groups (all p < .05). Maximum span, processing speeds and performance on working memory measures did not differ between groups. Findings provide little evidence that the studied capacity or efficiency processes contribute to understanding working memory training outcomes in primary school children. Furthermore, working memory training did not have benefits for children’s working capacity, efficiency or performance up to 6-months post-intervention. It is of interest for future studies to explore cognitive mechanisms, including strategy use, maximum span and information processing, in datasets where training effects are observed.

Kent Ağaçlarının Kampüslerde Sağladığı Düzenleyici Ekosistem Hizmetlerinin İncelenmesi: Aydın Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Örneği
Authors: Ersoy Tonyaloğlu Ebru
Published: February 2024

Çalışmanın amacı, günümüzde çevre üzerindeki etkisinin giderek önem kazandığı üniversite kampüslerinde yer alan ağaç örtüsünün sağladığı düzenleyici ekosistem hizmetleri ile bunlara ilişkin parasal değerlerin Aydın Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi merkez kampüsü örneği üzerinden analiz edilerek geleceğe yönelik önerilerde bulunulmasıdır. Çalışmanın gerçekleştirilmesinde web tabanlı i-Tree Canopy uygulaması kullanılarak 7 arazi örtüsü tipi ve alansal dağılımları toplam rastgele 2160 nokta üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak çalışma alanının %12,73’ünü oluşturan ağaç taç örtüsünün havadan toplam 771,52 kg gaz ve partikül kirletici uzaklaştırırken ($8.802), taç örtüsü tarafından yakalanan yıllık tahmini karbon miktarı 34,98 ton, taç örtüsünün depoladığı toplam karbon miktarı ise 878,44 ton olduğu hesaplanmıştır ($294.736). Tüm düzenleyici hizmetlerin sunduğu toplam tahmini ekonomik değer $303.537’dır. Ülkemizde gerçekleştirilen diğer çalışmalarla karşılaştırıldığında, Aydın Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi merkez kampüsünde ağaç örtüsünün azlığı dikkat çekmektedir. Ancak ağaç örtüsünün arttırılmasına olanak sağlayacak büyük potansiyele de sahip olduğu göz örneğinde bulundurulduğunda hem kampüs içinde hem de tüm kent için düzenleyici ekosistem hizmetleri ve bunların getireceği ekonomik fayda bakımından da iyi bir potansiyele sahip olduğu ifade edilebilir.
La retórica del sufrimiento en la tematización del debate por la legalización de la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo en la televisión magazine de Argentina
Authors: Allione Riba Guadalupe , Rubin Paloma
Published: February 2024

En este artículo nos proponemos analizar la tematización del debate en torno a la legalización de la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo (IVE) en los programas de género magazine de la televisión argentina desde 2018 a 2020. Realizamos una reconstrucción de la historia del activismo feminista, su impacto en el espacio público y el incremento de su presencia en la agenda mediática. La reflexión se desarrolló en clave de análisis sociológico del discurso. Analizando emisiones específicas de Intratables y La noche de Mirtha, encontramos un tratamiento dispar en el período del recorte. Observamos que la retórica del sufrimiento se constituye como eje transversal de la tematización de la IVE, produciendo la figura de mujer víctima. Asimismo, reflexionamos en torno a la acumulación de capital moral de ciertos actores, que legitima su posicionamiento social y les constituye como guardianes morales de las experiencias en torno al aborto.

Authors: Batista Andrade Cristiane , Giovanelli Vedovato Tatiana , Monteiro Inês
Published: February 2024

Objetivo: analisar as trajetórias de formação e de trabalho de técnicas/os de enfermagem sob a perspectiva de gênero, sobretudo da divisão sexual do trabalho (DST). Metodologia: pesquisa qualitativa em uma cidade brasileira de grande porte, com o uso da história oral para a compreensão das trajetórias de trabalho e formação, os motivos e as escolhas de entrada na profissão. Foram realizadas entrevistas com 11 técnicos de enfermagem (nove mulheres e dois homens). Resultados: a entrada na profissão é motivada pela obtenção de emprego; melhoria nas condições salariais para homens e mulheres, e desejo de cuidar relacionado à “vocação” e à influência familiar. Algumas mulheres tiveram interrupções devido ao trabalho reprodutivo; as descontinuidades nas trajetórias não foram vivenciadas pelos homens e pelas jovens e sem filhos. Conclusões: a abordagem da DST permitiu compreender os diferentes percursos para o trabalho de cuidado entre os gêneros e os motivos das interrupções na carreira e do trabalho.

Authors: Costa e Silva Evandro , Alves Vladmir Kronemberger , Lima Hernani Mota de
Published: February 2024

Em função da predominância global da produção de aço através da rota de alto forno, da idade e valor destes ativos, além dos custos e impactos na produção para a adoção de novas  tecnologias de menores impactos ambientais, prevê-se a continuação da utilização dos carvões coqueificáveis sob a forma de coque como principal agente redutor e fonte de calor. Neste cenário, o reprocessamento e aproveitamento dos rejeitos do processamento de carvões coqueificáveis para atendimento a esta demanda, torna-se uma alternativa interessante, tanto do ponto de vista econômico quanto ambiental. Permite tanto o melhor aproveitamento de recursos naturais não renováveis quanto menores níveis de emissões de CO2 e consumos de água e energia quando comparado com a produção a partir dos minérios provenientes diretamente da mina. O artigo apresenta os resultados do programa de caraterização metalúrgica de misturas dos carvões do portfólio de produtos metalúrgicos do Carvão Moatize com os carvões metalúrgicos gerados a partir dos rejeitos da barragem TSF 1 (Tailings Storage Facility 1)  de Moatize. Os resultados preliminares indicaram a viabilidade da geração de 5,5 a 7 Mt de carvão coqueificável com 10,5% de cinzas e 1,21 Mt de carvão térmico com 25% de cinzas e 25 MJ/kg a partir dos rejeitos contidos neste reservatório.

Problem solving skills is the formal framework for undergraduate program in science and technical knowledge. This work aims to define the problem skills of the final year project (FYP) students. Most educators believe that problem solving is among the most important and practical kinds of learning and thought. One of the approach of problem solving skills introduced by Brandsford in IDEAL Model. This model consists five stages of problem solving; identify problem as opportunities, define the problems, develop and understanding goals, explore possible strategies, anticipate potential effects before apply and look back and learn. This research objectives are to develop research instrument based on IDEAL Model and identifying problem solving skills among students in conducting FYP. There are 324 students involved in this research from eight faculties in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. The findings indicate that the reliability of the research instrument is sufficient to use and that the mean of identifying problem as opportunities in the IDEAL model showed higher score than other approaches. To sum up, problem-solving receives considerable attention in the undergraduate and helps students to improve their academic and problem-solving skills. Research on the development of problem-solving skills by students, the transfer of problem-solving skills to new contexts, and the effectiveness of particular pedagogical approaches to problem[1]solving teaching has provided a basis for academically accomplishments by students.

Authors: Abanyam Friday Ekahe , Onimawo Janet Achikere
Published: February 2024

Corona virus has halted activities in several countries. The effect of this virus has led to the shutting down of not just the economy but also academic activities in Nigeria. There are worries on the minds of policy makers in education, marketing and the general society on how academic and marketing activities such as conferences, seminars, information and researches can be done without endangering the lives of participants by gathering them in a place amidst COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, a friendly way of conducting research without physical contact with participants has suffix in virtual reality known as green netnographic marketing. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to determine the green netnographic marketing strategies for eliminating contact research practices in Nigerian Universities in a Post-COVID-19 era. Two research questions and hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a survey research design. 472 made up of Marketing Managers, Lecturers, and students of an online community in both public and private universities in Nigeria. A structured questionnaire and focus group discussion guide were used as instruments for data collection. The instruments were structured on a four-point scale of Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Disagree (D) and Strongly Disagree (SD) with values of 4, 3, 2, and 1 respectively. The instruments were validated by seven experts. Cronbach alpha reliability method was used to determine the internal consistency of the instruments. The analysis yielded an overall reliability index of 0.89 indicating that the instruments were highly reliable. The data collected for the study were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistics. The study found 18 ethical and 14 staff training strategies in green netnographic marketing for eliminating contact research practices in Nigerian Universities in a Post-COVID-19 era.

Generation Y in the Brazilian context
Authors: Carneiro Mario Rubens
Published: February 2024

The topic of generations has gained prominence in the media and public debates in recent years. However, the characterization of each generational cohort remains controversial. Among these groups, Generation Z stands out, comprising individuals born between the early 1980s and mid-1990s, in 2022 they already represented approximately 40% of the economically active population in Brazil. Nowadays, it is common to refer to this group of individuals using characteristics attributed to their North American generations, which can lead to misperceptions. Therefore, this study aims to characterize the Brazilian Gen Z through a bibliographic review of studies with different approaches to this generational cohort, what allowed the identification of both common and divergent points. The results suggest that the prevailing characterization of this generation depicts them as individuals who were pampered and became hedonistic. They are said to have grown up and been shaped by the peculiar circumstances of a globalized world undergoing rapid transformation based on communication technologies, such as the internet. In the Brazilian case, studies highlight that this generation, among other aspects, is composed of individuals who are highly adept at using the internet but dependent on it to build their identity and socialize. This results in a constant need to be connected and a propensity for excessive exposure, which can lead to addiction to social media, superficial relationships, anxiety, and dissatisfaction. Similar to previous generations, Brazilian Gen Z also seek financial stability and professional security. However, they believe that work is only a means to achieve their goals, not an end in itself. Therefore, they try to balance it with personal life aspects, also seeking a source of satisfaction and learning from it. Additionally, they tend to be less loyal to companies. They demonstrate skills for teamwork but have difficulties dealing with authority and hierarchy. Furthermore, they prefer organizations that are ethical and willing to invest in their development. Finally, in general terms, they are also individualistic, pragmatic, creative, and innovative, with a broader worldview and valuing aspects of collective consumption.

Published: February 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar no taylorismo a relação entre educação, trabalho e conhecimento. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foi realizado um estudo da principal obra de Frederick W. Taylor e, também, uma revisão bibliográfica de estudos sobre ele e sobre sua influência na educação. Pode-se afirmar que a educação e conhecimento se mostram articulados na obra de Taylor, pois ele sugeriu formar um novo perfil de trabalhador com a finalidade de suprir as necessidades requisitadas pela nova ordem produtiva. Os objetivos da educação não eram o de conhecer, no sentido filosófico, mas de preparar a força de trabalho para que soubesse minimamente ler aquilo que a produção industrial apresentava como novidade. O desenvolvimento do taylorismo implicava, também, enfrentar as resistências impostas por operários retirando deles a autonomia do trabalho e instruindo-os segundo os valores exigidos, entre os quais, a lealdade, a eficiência e a capacidade de compartilhar o conhecimento que tinham. Assim, esta pesquisa considera a existência no taylorismo de importantes referências que aludem para as origens da Gestão do Conhecimento, enquanto técnica de sistematização do trabalho e no modo como entendem a educação e o conhecimento.

Introduction: Given the high mobility of antibiotic resistance genes and their propensity for transmission among human, animal, and environmental reservoirs, managing the risks associated with antibiotic resistance is a challenging goal. The Acinetobacter species are among the most relevant bacteria with clinical significance and special abilities to acquire resistance mechanisms and to survive in diverse environmental conditions. A particular interest in A. baumannii strains is their association with chronic nosocomial infections, such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, soft tissue infections, or nosocomial meningitis.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the antibiotic resistance profiles of 48 A. baumannii strains collected in 2020 and 2021 from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the southern region of Romania and evaluate the role of WWTP in disseminating antibiotic resistance in the aquatic environment.
Methods: The detection and quantification of resistant bacteria were achieved using the filter membrane technique and chromogenic media supplemented with antibiotics. The analysis and identification of the bacterial species present in the collected samples were carried out using Bruker MALDI-TOF spectrometry. The antibiotic susceptibility spectrum was tested by the standardized disc diffusion method.
Results: Among the analyzed strains, 47 presented resistance phenotypes of clinical and epidemiological importance, 15 of them being MDR, 9 XDR, and 23 PDR.
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate the role of the WWTP in the accumulation and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance from the clinical and other anthropic sources into the aquatic environment, as well as the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the evolution of this phenomenon.

Published: February 2024

This study addresses the challenges associated with the accumulation of technogenic waste in the production of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. We present the findings of global research on the utilization of blast furnace slag as a sustainable alternative to traditional cement binders. Our scientific investigation focuses on the laboratory exploration of replacing cement binders with a highly efficient clinkerless alternative based on blast furnace slag. The fundamentals of formulating clinkerless binders from slag were thoroughly examined for binder design. Through an extensive review, we conducted tests to identify an optimal composition, constrained within the ranges of 70-90% blast-furnace granulated slag, 14% lime, 1.5-2% gypsum, 1.5-2% C-3, and 2-25% microsilica. The outcome of these tests resulted in the development of a novel binder that combines the characteristics and properties of a lime-slag binder with the advantages of a low water consumption binder. This clinker-free binder presents a sustainable solution for construction, serving as a viable substitute for traditional cement. Our findings contribute to the ongoing efforts in adopting environmentally friendly practices in the construction industry.
Sangam Era Marriage in Anthropological Perspective
Authors: M Bhuvaneswari
Published: February 2024

Tolkappiyam divides the life of Sangam people in a grammatical way and establishes that this (something) as the material necessary for life. However, the opinions of the commentators explaining this idea are not the same, and it can be seen that there has been a change in thinking according to the change of time. Therefore, only explanations given by grammar and literature cannot provide sufficient information while studying the life of human beings in society. It can be known by understanding the people of the Sangam period that the Sangha people lived the life of an ethnic group. However, they do not follow the ritual system of marriage. It was only after the arrival of the Aryans that the system of marriage came into existence. They divided it into eight numbers. Ilampuranar suggests that among them Gandharva marriage is for Tamil people. Answers and proofs for this are available in Sangam literary hymns when studying the evolution of man through anthropology. It can be seen from the outside that certain rituals were followed in the wars. Therefore, Sangam people who shaped their lifestyles based on internal life rather than war, were either married, robbed or chastised. Based on this, this article presents the rituals of the Sangam period from an anthropological perspective.

O objetivo deste texto é analisar um fragmento da fronteira agrícola brasileira, que denominamos aqui de cerrados do centro-norte. Essa região vem despertando grande interesse do capital, ganhando força especialmente a partir dos anos 2000, com o abrupto interesse dos grupos econômicos pela apropriação de terras - frequentemente públicas ou pertencentes a comunidades tradicionais. Tal apropriação de terras, discutida a partir do conceito de land grabbing, juntamente com toda a estrutura material e imaterial do neoliberalismo, aprofundou-se na região dos cerrados do centro-norte, que participa do amplo processo global de reprodução do capital. A nova racionalidade e competição generalizada está cada vez mais entremeada na região, onde destacamos dois grandes processos de apropriação dos bens comuns, fundamentais para a reprodução ampliada do capital: via globalização-científica-informacional da agricultura e via financeirização da natureza. Esses processos não significaram, entretanto, um aceite passivo por parte das populações locais, as quais resistem às investidas do capital e da apropriação dos bens comuns, buscando defender seus territórios.

This study aimed to investigate the presence of sarcopenia which was graded according to Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging in paraspinal muscles and explore the degree of osteoporosis by bone mineral density. Lumber MR images of 69 female patients complaining of back pain and Dual-Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) examinations were evaluated retrospectively. On MR imaging, the degree of sarcopenia in the paraspinal muscles of these patients was graded as normal, moderate and severe according to the simplified 3-Tier classification which is considered a Modified Goutallier classification by two radiologists. DXA examinations were categorized based on the t-score, with scores above -2.5 denoting osteopenia and scores below -2.5 indicating osteoporosis. Grades of atrophy in paraspinal muscles were found to be normal (n=15, 21.7%), moderate (n=43, 62.3%) and severe (n=11, 15.9%). The degree of paraspinal muscle atrophy was found to be lower in patients with osteopenia compared to patients with osteoporosis by both observers. (Radiologist 1 p: 0.284, radiologist 2 p: 0.047). As the degree of atrophy in the paraspinal muscles increases, the DXA t score decreases in some osteoporotic patients. Paraspinal muscle atrophy detected on lumbar MRI and DXA T scores are correlated in patients with low back pain. Identifying pathways affecting both bone and muscle units will facilitate developmental entities aiming to treat both conditions.

While transthoracic echocardiography and clinical findings are used to assess body volume status, lung ultrasonography (LUS), which is a non-invasive method, has also been used in assessing hypervolemia in recent years. This study aims to compare LUS, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and clinical findings in the assessment of body volume status in patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT). The study included 99 subjects who received RRT and were followed-up in our hospital. The patients were randomly selected from kidney transplant patients and those who had been receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) or hemodialysis (HD) for at least the past three months. In addition, a control group consisting of 52 healthy subjects was also enrolled. LUS and TTE were simultaneously performed (within 24 hours). The mean left atrial (LA) diameter was 37.8±2.7 mm, 37.9±3.4 mm, 38.6±3.5 mm and 29.0±4.4 mm in patients who received PD, kidney transplantation, HD and in the control group, respectively. There was a moderate positive correlation between the total number of B-lines and LA diameter (mm) in the combined group consisting of the patient and control groups (p=0.0001, r=0.286). In this study, the number of B-lines on LUS has been found to be higher in patients receiving renal replacement therapy due to the effect of hypervolemia compared to the control group. However, there was no statistically significant difference in terms of the number of B-lines and LA diameter in echocardiography.

Background:
Despite the strict preventive immunization used in Egypt, Newcastle disease remained a prospective risk to the commercial and backyard chicken industries. The severe economic losses caused by the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) highlight the importance of the trials for the improvement and development of vaccines and vaccination programs.
Aim:
In the present study we evaluated the effectiveness of two vaccination schemes for protection against the vNDV challenge.
Methods:
Four groups (A–D) of commercial broiler chickens were used. Two groups (G-A and G-B) were vaccinated with priming live HB1 GII simultaneously with inactivated GVII vaccines at 5 days of age, then boosted with live LaSota GII vaccine in group A and live rNDV GVII vaccine in group B on day 16. Groups A to C were challenged with NDV/Chicken/Egypt/ALEX/ZU-NM99/2019 strain (106 EID50/0.1mL) at 28 days of age.
Results:
Two vaccination schemes achieved 93.3% clinical protection against NDV with body gain enhancement; whereas, 80% of the unvaccinated-challenged birds died. On day 28, the mean HI antibody titers were 4.3±0.33 and 5.3±0.33 log 2 in groups A and B, respectively. As well as both programs remarkably reduced virus shedding. The two vaccination schemes displayed close protection efficacy against the vNDV challenge.
Conclusion:
Therefore, using the combination of a live attenuated vaccine with an inactivated genetically matched strain vaccine and then boosting it with one of the available live vaccines could be considered one of the most effective programs against current field vNDV infection in Egypt.
Improving boreal forest regeneration in a variable climate
Authors: Häggström Bodil
Published: February 2024

Regeneration of boreal forests in Sweden mainly involves planting Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seedlings on clear-cut areas, although there is an increasing interest in planting broadleaves and in applying continuous cover forestry (CCF). Seedling establishment is generally enhanced by mechanical soil preparation. With a warming climate, increases in drought periods and pests can reduce the regeneration success and further consideration of site conditions may be needed during planting. This thesis aims to better adapt boreal forest regeneration practices to local environments. My studies have focused on regeneration with seedlings of Scots pine (Papers I-IV), Norway spruce (Papers II & III) and silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) (Paper II) by analyzing data collected from field experiments from 16 sites in Sweden. Based on this field data, I have evaluated the effects of planting positions (Papers I & III), environmental conditions (Paper I), seedling sizes (Paper III), arginine-phosphate addition (Papers I, II & III), and competition with mature trees (Paper IV). Pine survival was, overall, higher, and less variable over a wide range of site conditions when planted in mineral soil than in capped mounds, especially during dry weather (Paper I). Growth of pine was equal when planted in mineral soil and in capped mounds on most sites studied in Paper I, while growth of pine and spruce in general was lower in mineral soil than in hinge and capped mound positions in Paper III. Damage and mortality by pine weevil on pine and spruce was higher in planting positions where organic material was present (Paper III). Addition of arginine-phosphate enhanced seedling survival and growth on some, but not all sites (Papers I & II), and its effect varied between sites and tree species (Papers I & II) and, for pine, with seedling size (Paper III). For pine seedlings, root isolation and fertilization enhanced growth along the edge of a mature forest (Paper IV), while only root isolation enhanced growth beneath a closed canopy of mature trees (Paper IV). These results emphasize that adapting regeneration practices to the site conditions at the time of planting is a key to success.

There is significant interest to use Moringa oleifera or “malunggay” as a source of anticancer and cancer chemopreventive agents to develop pharmaceutical drugs and herbal preparations. In this study, we isolated niazirin, niazinin, niazimicin, niaziminin and other glucosinolates, i.e., nitrile and O-thiocarbamate glycosides, from the ethanolic extract of M. oleifera seeds. These compounds were tested for antiproliferative activity in the MTT assay in human cancer cell lines, apoptotic activity in the annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) assay, antimigration activity in the matrigel wound healing assay, antiangiogenesis activity in the in ovo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay, and activation of antioxidant response elements (ARE) in the ARE-luciferase reporter assay. The following activities were observed in the following compounds from seeds: antimigration and antiangionesis in niazirin; antimigration in niazinin; apoptosis, antimigration and antiangionesis in niazimicin; and antiproliferation and apoptosis in niaziminin. Several seed and leaf fractions activated ARE. We prepared a syrup formulation from an ethanolic leaf extract found to contain flavonoids, lipids and derivatives and a tetrapyrrole, which activated ARE and selectively inhibited SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cell line proliferation and showed no inhibition of the MDCK normal cell line.
