Vernonia guineensis Benth. (Asteraceae), locally known as ‘African ginseng’, is an herbaceous plant with various therapeutic properties, sold by herbalists, and used in several traditional African preparations. Nanosizing has the capability to potentiate those preparations in their pharmacological properties. Premilling and extensive grinding using a planetary ball mill were used to reduce the size of V. guineensis tubers towards antioxidant studies. Water was used as an environmental friendly, cost effective solvent and dispersant to generate a nanocolloidal suspension of V. guineensis tubers. Size and size distribution were determined via photon correlation spectroscopy at room temperature which allows discussion on stability by Zeta potential and polydispersity index. Phytochemical screening shows presence of alkaloids, coumarins, polyphenol, saponins, tanins, terpenes, and anthraquinones. The distribution curve in water shows a polydispersed system with large hydrodynamic particles of size close to 1000 nm and a Z-average of 484.5 nm. The preparation separate in two phases with polydispersity index 0.217 for the supernatant and 0.543 for the suspension. In the supernatant and suspension, the particles zeta potential were -12.3 mV and -13.7mV respectively. The Mastersizer analysis indicates that there are smaller particles in volume in the supernatant than in the suspension. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity shows an increase in antioxidant activity, compared to that of ascorbic acid, in the nanoformulated state. These findings allow us to conclude on the potential of size reduction when compared to solvent extraction in pharmacologic preparations.
Influence of Ethical Climate, Workplace Spirituality and Organizational Justice on Workplace Deviant Behavior: A Mediating Role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior
Authors: Raza Mohsin , Khan Sadaf , Khalid Salman
Published: December 2023

This research investigates the intricate relationships among ethical climate, workplace spirituality, organizational justice, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and workplace deviant behavior within the context of higher education institutions in Pakistan. The study proposes and tests a comprehensive model, exploring direct relationships and the mediating role of OCB. The hypotheses posit significant associations between ethical climate, workplace spirituality, organizational justice, and both organizational citizenship behavior and workplace deviant behavior. Furthermore, the research examines the mediating effects of organizational justice on the relationships between ethical climate, workplace spirituality, and workplace deviant behavior. Drawing on a sample of 259 teachers from various public and private universities in Pakistan, the study contributes to filling existing gaps in the literature, particularly in the context of developing nations. The methodology employs a correlational research design, utilizing a survey questionnaire with Likert-type scales. Data analysis is conducted through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), allowing for a nuanced examination of relationships and mediating effects. The results indicate significant direct relationships between ethical climate and workplace deviant behavior, as well as organizational justice and deviant behavior. Ethical climate also positively relates to organizational citizenship behavior, as does organizational justice. Workplace spirituality, however, does not exhibit a significant relationship with workplace deviant behavior or organizational citizenship behavior. The findings further reveal the mediating role of organizational citizenship behavior in the relationships between ethical climate and workplace deviant behavior, as well as organizational justice and workplace deviant behavior. Overall, this research contributes to the understanding of ethical and behavioral dynamics in organizational settings, particularly in the unique context of higher education institutions in Pakistan.

Analysis of the construction status of art classroom field
Authors: Yuan Lei
Published: December 2023

With the continuous advancement of education, the improvement of educational environment is also being implemented in an orderly manner. In recent years, the corresponding requirements for the space of art classroom have been put forward in the "Design Code for primary and Secondary Schools" compiled in our country. But so far, many schools have failed to meet the targets set by the policy. The difficulty lies in the fact that although our country has continuously strengthened the quality education and paid attention to the comprehensive development of students, our country is still in the development stage of exam-oriented education at present. As a result, although attention to art courses has increased, it is far from enough, and the funds that schools are willing to allocate to art classrooms are extremely limited. However, as a member of humanities and social sciences, fine arts education has its own unique discipline, which can make students' personality more perfect, enrich their vision, cultivate their sentiments, improve their innovative ability and aesthetic thinking, and promote their all-round development, which is an important part of the implementation of quality education. The construction of art education field is the core part of the continuous development of art education, and art education space has an important impact on students' art learning. Since the pre-Qin period, the construction of art classroom field has its own development rules, and the problems of time and space are also worth exploring. In addition, under the background of modernization and globalization, it is also of great significance for the study of the construction of foreign excellent art classrooms.

Mettre en lumière la lumière : l’éclairage carcéral, le travail correctionnel et le bien-être
Authors: Gacek James , Turner Jennifer , Quirion Bastien , Ricciardelli Rosemary
Published: December 2023

Dans cet article, nous analysons l’expérience et les préoccupations des agents correctionnels (AC) canadiens fédéraux concernant leur environnement de travail. En nous appuyant sur la géographie carcérale, et en reconnaissant l’importance des liens entre l’architecture, les aménagements physiques et l’expérience vécue de l’espace, nous avons étudié l’effet de la lumière (ou de son absence) sur l’environnement de travail et le bien-être des AC. Les participants dont les propos sont rapportés dans cet article (n = 60) ont été recrutés dans le cadre d’une vaste étude longitudinale (Ricciardelli et al., 2021). Après avoir constaté que l’accès limité à la lumière naturelle est souvent justifié par des considérations liées à la sécurité, nous avons dans un premier temps analysé l’incidence de cette absence de lumière naturelle sur l’expérience de travail et sur la santé et le bien-être des AC. Nous avons ensuite examiné les mesures alternatives permettant de répondre aux enjeux de sécurité en ayant recours à des sources excessives de lumière. Ces deux aspects nous permettent de reconnaître l’existence d’un problème de lumière propre au milieu carcéral. Bien que l’accès à la lumière naturelle soit strictement contrôlé, on constate néanmoins que la lumière constitue, par nature, un aspect particulièrement difficile à réguler en milieu carcéral. Les résultats de cette étude permettent de mettre en évidence les problèmes liés à la diffusion de la lumière dans l’espace carcéral et de souligner les effets pervers de l’environnement carcéral sur les conditions de soins. Nous concluons cet article en énonçant des recommandations concernant les aménagements de la lumière et l’amélioration des conditions dans lesquelles se retrouvent les AC et les prisonniers.

Authors: Beserra Ramalho Climéria , De Oliveira Maria Marly , Rodrigues do Nascimento Ernandes
Published: December 2023

A formação continuada é um campo complexo de discussão que envolve a superação de desafios para envolver professores em suas práticas.  Embora pouco explorado na literatura brasileira, o engajamento docente é considerado um parâmetro para avaliar o êxito de práticas educativas, segundo a literatura internacional. A pesquisa se deu no âmbito da Gerência Regional de Educação Metropolitana Sul da Rede Estadual de Ensino de Pernambuco, envolvendo professores de Ciências e Biologia que passaram a experimentar um modelo de formação continuada com uso de metodologias ativas. O estudo parte da seguinte questão: Qual a possível influência de um modelo de formação continuada em rede, que faz uso de metodologias ativas, no engajamento de professores de Ciências e Biologia? Para responder tal questão, traçamos dois objetivos: identificar as evidências de engajamento docente presentes no modelo de formação continuada e analisar a percepção dos professores sobre seu engajamento em relação ao processo formativo vivenciado. A pesquisa apresenta uma abordagem qualitativa do tipo exploratória e descritiva. Para construção dos dados, utilizou-se: análise documental, aplicação de um questionário e uma entrevista em formato de Círculo Hermenêutico Dialético (CHD). O tratamento dos dados se deu através da Análise Hermenêutica Dialética Interativa (AHDI) com triangulação de dados. Como resultados, identificamos que o modelo de formação continuada apresentou evidências que levaram ao engajamento do professor com seu processo formativo, sendo elas: as temáticas da formação, a vinculação da formação a eventos científicos da universidade, o papel do formador como mediador do processo, um olhar para as necessidades formativas e a metodologia colaborativa presente nas formações. Outros resultados também evidenciam que a maioria dos professores se percebeu engajado no processo formativo ao longo de um contínuo. Nesse sentido, podemos concluir que a metodologia da formação foi o principal elemento motivador da formação e que se destacou como fator essencial na promoção do engajamento docente durante o processo formativo.

Published: December 2023

A fim de alcançar o sucesso em tarefas individuais e colaborativas de aprendizagem invertida, os alunos podem se envolver em processos regulatórios produtivos para gerenciar cognições, comportamentos, emoções e contexto. As estruturas de aprendizagem autorreguladas tornaram-se a pedra angular para examinar as formas sociais de regulação. Apesar dos avanços recentes na área de corregulação, ainda são necessárias mais pesquisas sobre como grupos de alunos regulam sua aprendizagem em ambientes colaborativos. Neste trabalho aplicamos um método exploratório e integrativo para elaborar um quadro de processos regulatórios e uma avaliação por especialistas para validá-lo. Redesenhamos a estrutura de autorregulação de Pintrich, colocando uma ênfase especial no papel crucial do trabalho em grupo na aprendizagem invertida, fornecendo uma visão mais holística dos processos regulatórios. Sete especialistas em aprendizagem colaborativa responderam positivamente a um questionário para avaliar a qualidade do framework quanto à clareza, compatibilidade, produtividade, papel tecnológico, abrangência e foco no aluno. A estrutura estendida aqui apresentada tem implicações para a prática, sendo especialmente benéfica na criação de estratégias para facilitar a autorregulação e corregulação dos alunos. Este estudo fornece informações valiosas para educadores sobre design instrucional e seleção de processos regulatórios apropriados para moldar atividades de aprendizagem para facilitar o envolvimento dos alunos na abordagem de aprendizagem invertida.

Authors: Vitali Marieli Mezari , Vefago de Souza Laila
Published: December 2023

O presente estudo teve como objetivo discutir sobre as influências do sofrimento ético-político nas experiências da população LGBTQIA+. Utilizando uma metodologia exploratória qualitativa e um questionário online, foram identificadas diversas formas de violência que afetam a vivência LGBTQIA+, com destaque para a violência psicológica. Essas formas de violência contribuem para a manifestação do sofrimento ético-político, o qual é intensificado pelas interseccionalidades e se expressa principalmente por meio da repressão de desejos e afetos em diversos contextos, assim como pela repressão de circular entre os espaços livremente. A saúde mental da população LGBTQIA+ é amplamente afetada pelas injustiças sociais, resultando em ideações suicidas e sofrimentos ético-político. Essas descobertas evidenciam a importância de aprofundar a discussão sobre o tema em questão.
Aproximações entre a Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental e a Gestalt-Terapia: uma Revisão Sistemática de Literatura

Published: December 2023

A terapia cognitivo-comportamental (TCC) tem desenvolvido um percurso de integração de novas perspectivas, sobretudo no movimento designado terceira onda das TCCs. Particularmente tem sido bastante comum em psicoterapias de terceira onda a inclusão de elementos de uma abordagem de perspectiva ontológica e epistemológica diversa: a Gestalt-terapia. Este artigo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura a fim de compreender o que os estudos que tiveram por fundamento o uso das abordagens da TCC e da Gestalt-terapia, conjuntamente, apontaram. Para tanto, utilizou-se a metodologia da revisão sistemática de literatura com apoio do software Rayyan. Foram selecionados 15 artigos. Identificou-se alguns trabalhos que procuraram comparar o desempenho e efetividade entre as abordagens, outros que promoveram a investigação ou descrição de intervenções integrativas e textos teóricos ou históricos que discutiram questões conceituais e técnicas dessa aproximação. Os resultados observados dão conta de uma possibilidade de diálogo e de coexistência entre as abordagens.
miR-4270 suppresses hepatocellular carcinoma progression by inhibiting DNMT3A-mediated methylation of HGFAC promoter
Authors: Zou Qiang , Cao Shasha
Published: December 2023

Background

miR-4270 is a regulatory factor has been linked with the progression of various cancers, such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and gastric cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms through which miR-4270 modulates HCC development are not fully understood.

Methods

miR-4270 expression levels were analyzed in various HCC cell lines and tissue samples. An online bioinformatics tool was then utilized to predict the miR-4270 target gene. The binding relationship between miR-4270 and its target gene DNMT3A was verified using dual-luciferase reporter and Ago2–RIP assays. Then, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were conducted to investigate the association between DNMT3A and the hepatocyte growth factor activator (HGFAC) promoter region. To assess the methylation level of the HGFAC promoter, methylation-specific PCR (MSP) was employed. Furthermore, rescue analyses were carried out to evaluate the functional relevance of miR-4270 and HGFAC in the modulation of the malignant properties of HCC cells. Finally, HepG2 cells overexpressing miR-4270 were subcutaneously injected into nude mice to estimate the impact of miR-4270 on the xenograft tumor growth of HCC.

Results

A substantial miR-4270 downregulation was revealed in HCC patient samples and cell lines. miR-4270 upregulation suppressed both cell proliferation and invasion while promoting apoptosis. At the molecular level, miR-4270 was found to bind to the 3′untranslated region (3′UTR) of DNMT3A, thereby inhibiting DNMT3A-mediated methylation of the HGFAC promoter. Functional assays indicated that inhibition of miR-4270 stimulated HCC cell growth, an effect counteracted by overexpression of HGFAC. In vivo assays further verified that miR-4270 effectively suppressed the progression of HCC xenograft tumors.

Conclusions

miR-4270 was found to mitigate the malignant characteristics of HCC by inhibiting DNMT3A-mediated methylation of the HGFAC promoter, suggesting a potential therapeutic avenue for the management of HCC.
Tracking ‘transitional’ diadectomorphs in the earliest Permian of equatorial Pangea
Authors: Calábková Gabriela , Madzia Daniel , Nosek Vojtěch , Ivanov Martin
Published: December 2023

Diadectomorpha was a clade of large-bodied stem-amniotes or possibly early-diverging synapsids that established a successful dynasty of late Carboniferous to late Permian high-fiber herbivores. Aside from their fairly rich record of body fossils, diadectomorphs are also well-known from widely distributed tracks and trackways referred to as Ichniotherium. Here, we provide detailed description of a diadectomorph trackway and a manus-pes couple originating from two different horizons in the Asselian (lowermost Permian) of the Boskovice Basin in the Czech Republic. The specimens represent two distinct ichnotaxa of Ichniotherium, I. cottae and I. sphaerodactylum. Intriguingly, the I. cottae trackway described herein illustrates a ‘transitional’ stage in the posture evolution of diadectomorphs, showing track morphologies possibly attributable to a Diadectes-like taxon combined with distances between the successive manus and pes imprints similar to those observable in earlier-diverging diadectomorphs, such as Orobates. In addition, this trackway is composed of 14 tracks, including six well-preserved manus-pes couples, and thus represents the most complete record of Ichniotherium cottae described to date from the Asselian strata. In turn, the manus-pes couple, attributed here to I. sphaerodactylum, represents only the second record of this ichnotaxon from the European part of Pangea. Our study adds to the diversity of the ichnological record of Permian tetrapods in the Boskovice Basin which had been essentially unexplored until very recently.

Published: December 2023

Nowadays, shopping from abroad is so common that consumers don't even realise that globalisation makes it possible for them. Globalisation is a never-ending phenomenon due to which borders disappear, and goods become globally available. The result of globalisation is the emergence of a global consumer. The paper's main aim is to analyse consumer purchasing behaviour in light of globalisation trends. The paper's research object is the purchasing behaviour of consumers under the influence of globalisation trends. The paper is divided into an introduction, theoretical background, methodology, analysis of results, discussion of results and conclusions. The methods of analysis, synthesis, abstraction and deduction are to be used to fulfil the paper's aim. As a result, the term global consumer is to be defined. The paper presents the main characteristics of the global consumer, such as how he thinks when buying, is interested, spreads information further, is not influenced by advertising, does not look only at the price, and prefers FairTrade, FSC, BIO, local products and modesty.

Nesta pesquisa, investigou-se, por meio da abordagem Bayesiana de séries temporais, o fenômeno conhecido como inflação importada. Para tanto, através de uma análise empírica, verificou-se os impactos inflacionários sobre a economia brasileira, resultante das variações no preço do barril de petróleo e na taxa de câmbio. Para cumprir o objetivo proposto, estimou-se, com dados de janeiro de 2005 até dezembro de 2020, um modelo BVAR (Minnesota priors) e analisou-se a função de resposta ao impulso e a decomposição da variância do erro de previsão do IPCA. Com relação à função de impulso e resposta, observou-se que, tanto no caso do preço do petróleo como na da taxa de câmbio, um choque não antecipado gera um efeito inflacionário a curto prazo. A respeito da taxa de juros, pôde-se constatar que um choque não antecipado nesta variável consegue refrear a inflação após o décimo período. Sobre a decomposição da variância do erro de previsão, verificou-se que cerca de 18% da dinâmica do IPCA é descrita pelas variáveis explicativas que compõem o modelo estimado.

Authors: Domingues Ana Mariele , De Souza Ricardo Gabbay
Published: December 2023

This research aims to analyze life cycle assessment (LCA) studies covering recycling of printed circuit boards (PCB) and lithium-ion batteries from waste electrical and electronic equipment. The method of systematic literature review was used in addition to structured content analysis, to extract relevant data from 22 peer-reviewed scientific articles. The results show that the research topic is expanding, indicating an increased trend in research in the future. Most lca studies are focused on contexts of developed countries, indicating a research need in developing countries. The results of the content analysis point that most studies carried out LCA of PCB recycling, indicating that investigations in lithium-ion battery recycling processes are scarce in the literature. The treatment methods with the highest number of lca studies are pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical. New techniques such as bioleaching, physical recycling, relitiation, and functional recycling have been found, however, it is needed to perform more studies on the environmental impacts of these recycling methods.

Over some decades, advancement has come to the way forest is being monitored. The process of monitoring the forest area have advanced beyond human-power into technology. Nigeria forests have experience degeneration from illegal logging to encroachment resulting from population growth and agricultural activities. The wildlife species are endangered due to human illegal activities in the forest area. Manual monitoring has achieved some results in keeping the forest safe but there is a need for more effective and real time forest monitoring. Therefore, digital technology should be analyzed for monitoring. Many forests departments in some countries have shifted to the Internet of Things (IoT) devices for real-time forest monitoring and conservation. IoT devices are devices that utilizes sensors to capture information about activities going on in the forest area and alert the monitoring personnel of any illegal activities through an electronic device connected to computer. IoT system collect data from the forest and send them to the cloud server for storage and analysis of activities that are going on in the forest area. This have helped forest officers in curbing many issues like illegal logging and forest fires. It has also helped in conserving wildlife within the forest. This paper discussed some IoT devices for real time forest monitoring and conservation. This manuscript also discussed the components of IoT devices and how they benefit forestry.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and outcome aspects of severe malaria and to determine the risk factors for death.

Methodology: This was a retrospective descriptive and analytical study of patients treated for severe malaria at the infectious and tropical diseases department of the University Hospital center of Fann between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2021. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for death 

Results: During our study, 138 patients were hospitalized for severe malaria over a period of 3 years, with a peak in the months of october and november. They were mostly from urban areas (68.11%). The average consultation time was 6.7 days ± 7.1 days. There was a clear male predominance, with a sex ratio of 3.18. The average age of patients was 33.96 ± 17 years. The main signs of clinical severity were coma (44.2%), prostration (36.95%) and jaundice (61.5%). Biological signs included anaemia (14.49%) and renal failure (9.42%). Severe malaria was associated with SARS Cov 2 infection in 4 patients. All patients were treated with injectable artesunate. The average length of hospitalization was 6 ± 6 days. Case fatality was 10.7. In multivariate analysis, coma (ORa =12.29 IC95%: 2.0 - 73.22 P=0.006) and severe anaemia (ORa=27.16 IC95%: 3.4 - 217.18 P=0.006) were risk factors associated with death.

Conclusion: Early recognition of the signs of seriousness and their early management thanks to improved technical facilities in intensive care units can improve the prognosis of patients.

Sustainable agriculture mostly relies on conservation tillage, crop residue retention and crop diversification. Weeds are major production hurdles in adoption of conservation agriculture (CA), therefore, weed management is important for sustainable crop yield. Designing efficient integrated weed management (IWM) practices under zero-tillage with crop residue (ZT+R) is helpful in getting optimum yield. A field experiment was carried out at research farm of ICAR-Directorate of Weed Research, Jabalpur (M.P.), India with eight treatment combinations, two crop establishment methods (conventional tillage and conservation tillage) in main plots and four weed management practices (weedy check, recommended herbicide, IWM, and herbicide rotation) in sub-plots were evaluated using a split plot design with three replications. The results indicated  that the wheat sown under ZT+R led to significantly less weed density (105.9 no. m-2 in 2020-21 and 122.8 no. m-2 in 2022-23) and biomass (149.7 and 174.2 g m-2, respectively) hence, registered the highest weed control efficiency (WCE, 72.3% and 71.2%, respectively). Higher WCE helped in producing better wheat growth indices like plant height (106.3 and 101.1 cm, respectively), biomass (12.0 and 9.0 g plant-1, respectively) and no. of tillers (488.0 and 391.3 no. m-2, respectively) ultimately grain yield (4164 and 3814 kg ha-1, respectively) and straw yield (7265 and 6834 kg ha-1, respectively) compared with conventional tillage during both the years. Among the weed management practices, ready-mix application of clodinafop + metsulfuron at 60+4 g ha-1 (30-35 days after sowing, DAS) followed by (fb) hand weeding at 45 DAS increased growth indices like plant height (110.2 and 105.0 cm, respectively), plant biomass (14.9 and 12.1 g plant-1, respectively) and no. of tillers (547.2 and 436.7 no. m-2, respectively) ultimately grain yield (4708 and 4299 kg ha-1, respectively) and straw yield (7836 and 7610 kg ha-1, respectively), and WCE (97.4% and 96.8% respectively) with significantly less weed density (25.7 and 35.0 no. m-2, respectively) and biomass (13.6 and 19.9 g m-2, respectively) at 90 days after sowing. IWM also completely reduces the weed density and biomass over the other weed management practices during both the years. Therefore, wheat sown under ZT+R coupled with IWM was superior in terms of weed control, crop growth and yields.
