Learning to fish for a lifetime
Authors: Hammond Kay
Published: July 2024

This paper is the proposal for the initial phase of a research project that aims to explore student engagement and feedback on a personalised, digital academic phrase library resource – MAPLE (My Academic Phrase Library on Evernote). This resource offers learners a digital, assignment focused, template where they can record generic academic phrases from their discipline specific readings to build a personalised, discipline specific, academic phrase library. This project aims to advance the use of academic phrase libraries from pre-selected examples to individual student / teacher co-constructed resources. This resource situates the learner and the learning within the discipline specific academic reading and writing contexts required to develop academic reading and writing skills. The context is a diverse cohort of first year health students from 14 disciplines enrolled in a compulsory academic skills paper. Some preliminary findings will be presented.
Iterative approach to implicit student-generated mobile learning to promote visual literacy and peer mediated learning
Authors: Ernst Hardy , McGahan William , Harrison John
Published: July 2024

This paper aims to report early findings of the second iteration of an implicit student-generated mobile learning project that promotes visual literacy and peer mediated learning. The first iteration was conducted with first year health science students at the University of Queensland, Australia, in 2013. We found that while the video assessment task may have aided learning for each student around their specific chosen topic, overall course learning outcomes did not improve. This was perhaps due to a failure of the peer mediated learning aspect of the learning activity. Furthermore, the labour intensive nature of the task may have attenuated overall performance in the course. Acting on these findings, we adjusted the visually based, peer-to-peer mobile learning activity accordingly. The revised assessment task was reintroduced in 2nd semester 2014, and early findings on the efficacy of the revised task on learning will be presented at the ascilite 2014 conference.
Designing a bespoke App to address Botanical literacy in the undergraduate science curriculum and beyond
Authors: Pettit Lachlan , Pye Matthew , Wang Xiaolong , Quinnell Rosanne
Published: July 2024

At the University of Sydney we are offering a revised botany program within the biology curriculum that has reduced the time dedicated to the study of botany. Given the overall decrease in basic botanical science courses taught at university level and the need to improve the botanical literacy of our future biology graduates and high school teachers, how can we better connect students to the practice of botany and so improve botanical literacy? One solution is to draw on ‘App’, ‘mobile’ technologies to map the campus flora and our aim was to develop a dynamic and interactive geo-locating botany iPhone app, which aligns to the Botany curriculum and offers a unique opportunity for the broader community to view the campus through a botanical lens.
Adoption of mobile devices by academic staff
Authors: Mac Callum Kathryn , Verhaart Michael
Published: July 2024

Before mobile technology can be introduced into a teaching and learning situation, it would be expected that the confidence and ability of the teachers’ to understand and use the technology would be a significant factor for successful integration. The research presented in this paper is part of a multi-institute research project to implement a framework using mobile devices for enhanced learning and institutional change across different disciplines and institutions. The paper focuses on a survey to benchmark the use of mobile technology by academic staff in one of the tertiary institutes involved in the wider study. Findings identify that not all staff have equal access to these types of devices nor use these devices extensively to support their work. The reasons for this are wide but include cost, perceived ability and technical factors.
Polysynchronous learning
Authors: Dalgarno Barney
Published: July 2024

The advent of MOOCs has drawn renewed interest in online pedagogies and new impetus for efforts to understand the ways in which face to face, online and blended modalities afford distinct patterns of student interaction and engagement. At the same time, the ubiquitous availability of mobile devices is presenting new opportunities for face to face students to engage in new ways with teachers, peers and content during and after class through multiple ever-present communication streams. In order to cater for students undertaking their studies in these new technology mediated environments, more needs to be known about the way in which student interaction and engagement changes in such environments. This paper discusses a new theoretical stance on the interaction patterns of students in face to face and online settings. The term polysynchronous learning is proposed to encompass the new learning opportunities afforded by contemporary online learning technologies.
The transition from traditional face-to-face teaching to blended learning
Authors: Loch Birgit , Borland Rosy
Published: July 2024

Despite the drive at Australian universities towards blended learning, the research on the effectiveness and successful implementation of this model is lagging behind in some disciplines. In this paper we highlight the need for targeted research into blended learning in mathematics at more than an individual unit scale, particularly in the context of the flipped classroom. The literature on the flipped classroom in mathematics is limited to reports from enthusiastic individuals who have flipped their units with more or less success, with no reports on the sustainability of these implementations. We take the perspective of a discipline that already faces certain challenges with respect to student preparedness and special needs to facilitate online learning. From the literature, we extract research questions that need to be addressed urgently, and that may in the future be used to form a discipline-specific framework for introducing blended learning.
TPACKing for the Student Learning Centre Digital Strategy
Authors: Bassett Mark , Silva Pedro
Published: July 2024

Providing academic support for a diverse tertiary population requires the inclusion of a digital approach. However, in order to develop a digital strategy, there is a need to provide an all encompassing reflection on how to integrate technology. This paper aims to report on Auckland University of Technology (AUT) Student Learning Centre (SLC) current progress in the digital space, while providing direction to its future development. This paper combines technological knowledge with content and pedagogical knowledge to design SLC’s future developments. It also provides an analysis of current SLC digital presence developments and addresses possible future directions. Recommendations reinforce the need for an overall learning strategy, and address the affordances of Web 2.0 for this project. These recommendations and reflections are important for setting the foundations for a pedagogically solid digital development.
Using the self-determined learning principles of heutagogy to support academic staff who are learning to teach online
Authors: Northcote Maria , Boddey Chris
Published: July 2024

Tailored professional development (PD) programmes assist university teaching staff to capitalise on the educational use of technology. To supplement on-campus PD support, staff at Avondale College of Higher Education developed a self-help online resource, Moodle's Little Helper (MLH), that has since become an integral and accepted component of the institution's PD landscape. Since Avondale's overall PD program is built upon the theoretical underpinnings of heutagogy (Hase, 2009; Hase & Kenyon, 2003), a self-determined learning theory, the purpose and nature of the resource also reflects the key principles of this educational philosophy. Adopting a utilisation-focused research methodology (Patton, 2011) ensured staff needs were identified and met within MLH's customised content, homegrown style and iterative development. The outcomes from the first stages of the study provide commentary on how the theoretical principles of heutagogy can be employed to gain greater reach and efficiency when PD support is in high demand.
Gáspár Tamás o pojęciu „post-faszyzmu”
Authors: Winczewski Damian
Published: July 2024

Gáspár Miklós Tamás był w ostatnich latach jednym z najbardziej znanych węgierskich intelektualistów i krytyków polityki rządów Victora Orbana. Jego analizy dotyczące zjawiska kryzysu migracyjnego znalazły swoje odzwierciedlenie w koncepcji „post-faszyzmu”. Trudno ją zrozumieć bez odwołania do innych jego prac i systematycznej rekonstrukcji. Artykuł problematyzuje to pojęcie w perspektywie szerokiej narracji historiozoficznej węgierskiego filozofa, w której nacjonalizm, etnicyzm, faszyzm i post-faszyzm okazują się być kolejnymi etapami sprzeczności rozwoju post-Oświeceniowej kapitalistycznej demokracji liberalnej. Jego myśl polityczna w tym kontekście stanowi apel o przywrócenie perspektywy klasowej w analizach stosunków społecznych.

It has already been used in social sciences, management, marketing (e.g. Stolecka-Makowska & Wolny, 2014), computer/video gaming, as well as linguistics (Grucza et al., 2014), including translation studies, and glottodidactics, i.e. foreign language teaching and learning (see Grucza, 2020).
Call of the Earth: Ecocriticism Through the Non-Human Agency in M. Jenkin’s “Enys Men”
Authors: Kruvko Tatiana
Published: July 2024

Based on the “vegetal turn” in film studies and posthuman philosophy, the article explores how experimental cinema can be a cultural mediator of vegetal forms of life. Posthumanist philosophy draws inspiration from cinema’s portrayal of both imaginary and real non-human entities as subjects and cohabitants on Earth. As subjects, these non-human entities are challenging generally accepted ideas about the principles of cognition, as well as our understanding of the causes and consequences of problems such as climate warming, Holocene extinction, and depletion of natural resources. The experimental film reveals connections between human and non-human agents through its unique film language and cinema ontology. The study examines how the film Enys Men (2022), directed by M. Jenkin, employs critical anthropomorphism to depict closely intertwined symbiotic relationships between all human and non-human agents, where memory as an embodied property connects various types of experience. In the film, access to awareness of the boundaries of life and death is challenged by non-human subjects such as lichens and Earth.
Developing an efficient planning process for heritage buildings maintenance in Iraq
Authors: Kashkool Afrah M. H.
Published: July 2024

Heritage buildings and sites are significant assets for any country, they hold values of the past to the new generation. This research focuses on the problem of deterioration and demolition of heritage buildings due to negligence or aspiration for more profitable projects, which will lead to the loss of valuable heritage buildings. Assuming that this problem can be solved initially from the planning stage, this research aims to enhance the planning process for heritage buildings by specifying the main factors that affect the planning process for the maintenance work and developing a framework of sequential steps for planning process activities to help in creating an efficient plan. The research evaluates the current situation of heritage building conservation in Baghdad, Iraq as a case study, by classifying the relevant categories into maintenance and non-maintenance categories, which describe the reasons that led to the deterioration of numerous local heritage buildings. The results found in this research specify the main factors that lead to an efficient plan that are budget, methods and techniques, level of skills of the workers, schedule, and required materials. A framework for a successive conservation plan is suggested to be adapted, including a series of sequenced processes to get a sound plan. Finally, some recommendations are suggested to develop planning for heritage building conservation, like reevaluating the legislations and laws to enhance the heritage sector, serious work to make the heritage sites take place in the community activities, paying maximum care to the heritage sector by the governmental authorities, and using modern tools in planning in addition to other recommendations.
Crafted Landscapes: The Uggurwala Tree (Ochroma pyramidale) as a Potential Cultural Keystone Species for Gunadule Communities
Authors: Vidal Nuria Romero
Published: July 2024

Wooden material culture has traditionally been overshadowed in ethnographic and archaeological collections. However, its study has great potential to further our understanding of human–plant interactions. Carvings and crafts store information related to the trees and woodlands of provenance as well as about the people who shaped them. This article discusses the possibilities and difficulties of reconstructing the path from the museum’s objects to the trees by applying a multidisciplinary approach. One specific tree, the uggurwala tree (Ochroma pyramidale), is repeatedly selected by Gunadule people for particular carvings. The use of Ochroma has been observed in objects deposited in ethnographic collections and it was probably a Cultural Keystone Species for Gunadule communities and a potential one for the Isthmo-Colombian area. By exploring this concept and applying it to the study of these types of objects, new reflections on the role of wood material culture in past and present societies are raised.

High-Precision Optical Fiber-Based Lickometer
Authors: Silva Artur , Carriço Paulo , Fernandes Ana B. , Saraiva Tatiana , Oliveira-Maia Albino J. , da Silva Joaquim Alves
Published: July 2024

Quantifying and analyzing licking behavior can offer valuable insights into fundamental neurobiological mechanisms controlling animal consummatory behaviors. Lickometers are typically based on electrical properties, a strategy that comes with limitations, including susceptibility to electrical interference and generation of electrical disturbances in electrophysiological measurements. While optical lickometers offer an alternative method to measure licks and quantify fluid intake in animals, they are prone to false readings and susceptibility to outside light sources. To overcome this problem, we propose a low-cost open-source lickometer that combines a restricted infrared beam defined by optical fibers, with a poke design that allows easy access to the tongue while limiting access of other body parts and external light sources. This device also includes features for detecting nose pokes and presenting visual cues during behavioral tasks. We provide validation experiments that demonstrate the optical lickometer's reliability, high-sensitivity and precision, and its application in a behavioral task, showcasing the potential of this tool to study lick microstructure in combination with other techniques, such as imaging of neural activity, in freely moving mice.
Dorsoventral Heterogeneity of Synaptic Connectivity in Hippocampal CA3 Pyramidal Neurons
Authors: Li Minghua , Jiang Yu-Qiu , Lee Daniel K. , Wang Haoran , Lu Melissa C. , Sun Qian
Published: July 2024

The hippocampal CA3 region plays an important role in learning and memory. CA3 pyramidal neurons (PNs) receive two prominent excitatory inputs—mossy fibers (MFs) from dentate gyrus (DG) and recurrent collaterals (RCs) from CA3 PNs—that play opposing roles in pattern separation and pattern completion, respectively. Although the dorsoventral heterogeneity of the hippocampal anatomy, physiology, and behavior has been well established, nothing is known about the dorsoventral heterogeneity of synaptic connectivity in CA3 PNs. In this study, we performed Timm's sulfide silver staining, dendritic and spine morphological analyses, and ex vivo electrophysiology in mice of both sexes to investigate the heterogeneity of MF and RC pathways along the CA3 dorsoventral axis. Our morphological analyses demonstrate that ventral CA3 (vCA3) PNs possess greater dendritic lengths and more complex dendritic arborization, compared with dorsal CA3 (dCA3) PNs. Moreover, using ChannelRhodopsin2 (ChR2)-assisted patch-clamp recording, we found that the ratio of the RC-to-MF excitatory drive onto CA3 PNs increases substantially from dCA3 to vCA3, with vCA3 PNs receiving significantly weaker MFs, but stronger RCs, excitation than dCA3 PNs. Given the distinct roles of MF versus RC inputs in pattern separation versus completion, our findings of the significant dorsoventral variations of MF and RC excitation in CA3 PNs may have important functional implications for the contribution of CA3 circuit to the dorsoventral difference in hippocampal function.
From Spy to Editor – Informants of Elżbieta Sieniawska née Lubomirska (d. 1729), Wife of the Castellan of Krakow
Authors: Łękawska Monika
Published: July 2024

Research on written newspapers of the Saxon period has been ongoing for several decades. By looking at the avis from the perspective of their editors and purveyors, we get a fuller picture of the mentality of society. Elżbieta Sieniawska, née Lubomirska (d. 1729), Wife of the Castellan of Krakow and one of the most enterprising magnates at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, collected information through her intelligence services. Had it not been for their efforts and every attempt to provide the Krakow castellan with news, it is likely that Sieniawska would have had serious problems keeping her knowledge of the country and the world up to date. Distinguishing in the article the profiles of spies, postal workers and newspaper editors, the author shows not only previously unpublished facts from the life of the information services, but above all points to the dependencies between their services.

Periodinių leidinių statistika Baltijos šalyse: duomenų šaltiniai ir rinkiniai
Authors: Bliūdžiuvienė Nijolė
Published: July 2024

Publishing is a significant part of the cultural, creative, and economic sectors. Its research, assessment, and forecasting require grounded, reliable, accurate, consistent, and comparable statistical data. Considering the lack of research in periodicals statistics and the relevance of publishing statistics, as well as the fact that in the Baltic countries, publishing statistics data are collected by institutions at the same level, the problem arises whether the national libraries’ applied foundational recommendations and legal documents, as well as data collection methodology, can ensure data validity, reliability, comprehensiveness, and comparability. This article aims to examine and compare the data collection practices of periodical statistics in the Baltic States. The research object includes the legal foundation of publishing statistics in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, as well as the 2022 publishing statistics resources and official statistics data collections. UNESCO recommendations and International Organization for Standardization standards can be considered guidelines for such data collection and accounting. The legal foundation of publishing statistics consists of legal deposit laws, which must ensure the sources of statistical data. Even though publishing statistics data are collected by national libraries and the source of statistical data in all countries is legal deposits, the statistical data collections are not identical. Countries choose which data to collect, what criteria to apply, and in what form to present them. It is important to emphasize that data on the publishing industry are not presented in statistical collections, although their collection guidelines and presentation importance are highlighted in international recommendations and normative documents. Statistical data on electronic periodicals are provided only by Estonia. National libraries in the Baltic States are official statistics compilers, so summarized publishing statistics data are provided to national statistics institutions, opening new technological possibilities for data analysis and integration of new data. The collections of statistical data on newspapers and magazines can only be compared according to a few main criteria, as countries have chosen different statistical data presentation features, the main ones being the varying categorization and periodicity characteristics of newspapers and magazines.

Usefulness of RSV rapid diagnostic tests in hospitalised children
Authors: Kobiałka Małgorzata , Wrotek August , Jackowska Teresa
Published: July 2024

Introduction and objective: Respiratory syncytial virus is a major cause of lower respiratory tract infections, particularly in children under two years of age. Diagnostic methods include rapid antigen diagnostic tests, which have shown high specificity and variable sensitivity. The aims of this study were to verify the performance of these tests in hospitalised children, and to identify factors influencing the results. Materials and methods: The study enrolled children under two years old who were tested for respiratory syncytial virus using both rapid antigen diagnostic test and a cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the tests were calculated. The influence of symptoms and fever duration, socioeconomic conditions, presence of siblings, and feeding method were analysed. Results: A total of 164 patients aged 10 days to 24 months (median 2.5 months) were included. Sensitivity reached 75% (95% confidence interval: 67.3–81.7%), specificity – 100% (73.5–100%), positive predictive value – 100%, and negative predictive value – 24% (19.3–29.4%). Lower sensitivity was associated with longer duration of signs/symptoms, with the lowest value obtained in the group with 6–7 days of signs/symptoms – 47.4% (24.5–71.1%), which differed from the 2–3 days group (p = 0.005) and the 4–5 days group (p = 0.016). No association was found between sensitivity and patient age, socioeconomic conditions, presence of siblings, clinical course including fever, or feeding method. None of these factors affected specificity, positive or negative predictive value. Conclusions: The reliability of the rapid antigen diagnostic tests in cases of positive results appears to be high, though negative results should be interpreted with caution. Prolonged duration of signs/symptoms before testing might reduce the level of sensitivity.

Species of the genus Sorbus L. (rowan) are woody plants growing in the Northern Hemisphere; they are of interest as decorative, food and medicinal plants. Rowan fruits contain a unique complex of macro- and microelements, as well as biologically active substances, including phenolic compounds. Complexity of the composition of plant samples requires the development of highly selective and sensitive methods for determining the content of organic components of different classes. A method for determining phenolic acids in rowan fruits is proposed. The method is based on two-stage chemical modification of the acids, and involves preparing methyl esters under acidic methanolysis conditions, liquid extraction with toluene, intermediate re-extraction into an aqueous alkaline solution, subsequent silylation with N, O-bis-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) and gas chromatographic determination of the obtained derivatives using a flame ionization or mass spectrometric detector. Conditions for extraction of phenolic acids from rowan fruits were studied according to the following parameters: type of extractant, sample to the extractant mass ratio, and duration of extraction (mechanical stirring). The stage of gas chromatographic determination of obtained phenolic acid derivatives was optimized, and their chromatographic characteristics established. The possibility of achieving practically complete separation of aliphatic acids and other accompanying components of a non-acidic nature from phenolic compounds in the course of sample preparation was demonstrated; which significantly increased both the selectivity and sensitivity of the determination of analytes. The range of determined content of phenolic acids (4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzoic acid, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-cinnamic acid) in rowan fruits was 0.005–0.5 mg/g, the limit of detection was 0.001–0.002 mg/g, the relative error was 10–15%, the sample weight was 0.5 g, the total duration of the analysis was 4 hours.
Political Enlightenment in the Context of the Soviet Identity Project Based on Materials of Altai Krai (1945–1955)
Authors: Demin Mikhail A. ,   Altai State Pedagogical University, Barnaul, Benevalenskaya Evgeniya N. ,   Altai State Pedagogical University, Barnaul
Published: July 2024

This article examines the communicative strategies of the formation of civic identity by the system of political education institutions in Altai in the ideological space of 1945–1955 based on regional materials. The authors employ the concept of constructing the phenomenon of Soviet society relevant to the modern neoclassical model of science. The source base consists of normative documents of the Central Committee and the Altai Krai Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, office materials of the propaganda and agitation bodies of the region from the funds of the State Archive of Altai Krai. The authors compare the reports of party committees with the information and analytical data of inspections of political and educational work in Altai. Materials of the All-Union and regional educational and instructional and methodical literature, and regional press were used to analyse discursive propaganda practices. Based on the theoretical and methodological approaches of social design and intellectual history, the article identifies the goals of creation, ideological and semantic motifs, symbolic components, and examples of normative behaviour spread among citizens. It is demonstrated that the production of standards of collective identification of the inhabitants of the region was based on the national-state narrative that rehabilitated the “Homeland” chronotope. The implementation of the all-Union project of social consolidation and support of the Soviet government in Altai Krai focused on the consistent inclusion of the official version of the past in the individual life experience by teaching political literacy, oral, and visual propaganda in schools and school clubs. A feature of the rear region was the construction, first of all, of identification samples of labour heroism. An important technology for involving the population in large-scale activities to restore the economic and socio-cultural potential of the USSR after the Great Patriotic War was the motivation of the feat as a mechanism for personal perpetuation in the memory of descendants.
Desafiando conceitos rígidos
Authors: Munareto Geandra , Diwan Pietra
Published: July 2024

O livro A hora da eugenia, da historiadora Nancy Stepan, constitui uma importante referência sobre a história da eugenia no Brasil, não só por seu aspecto pioneiro, mas pelas chaves interpretativas que apresenta, como o conceito de “eugenia latina”. O intuito deste artigo é avançar a discussão proposta por Stepan, analisando-a de forma crítica e trazendo novos elementos apresentados não só pela historiografia, mas também por algumas fontes que demonstram que os conceitos e a abordagem proposta pela autora precisam ser superados, uma vez que focam excessivamente a construção de excepcionalidades e de antagonismos, encobrindo os aspectos comuns entre países não latinos e criando representações estereotipadas sobre a região. Acreditamos que, por seu caráter limitado e restritivo, conceitos como o de “eugenia latina” devem ser desafiados a partir da adoção de uma abordagem transnacional e comparativa, de forma que busquemos conexões e aspectos comuns e fujamos da armadilha dos “excepcionalismos” como chave interpretativa de análise.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Atmospheric contamination is closely linked to negative impacts on public health. Understanding the unique aspects of the Brazilian context is crucial for the implementation of public policies and health promotion. Objective: To assess the negative impacts of air pollution on public health in Brazil. Method: This review was developed through a search in the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Information Literature (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and PubMed/Medline databases, using the keywords “Air Pollution” AND (Health OR “Public Health”) AND “Adverse Effects” AND Brazil. Articles written in English and Portuguese, published from 2013 to 2024, were selected. Additionally, two articles were manually included. After applying the inclusion criteria and removing duplicates, 19 references were used for this review. Results and Discussion: There is a significant correlation between respiratory diseases and the emission of atmospheric pollutants, particularly the release of fine suspended particles (PM10), highlighting an increase in hospitalizations due to respiratory illnesses. The lack of studies addressing the effects of pollutants on other systems of the human body beyond the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, as well as the scarcity of information on various atmospheric pollutants, underscores the need for further research to fill these gaps. Conclusion: Even at levels considered acceptable, atmospheric pollutants still pose risks to public health. Therefore, specific public policies aimed at reducing emissions of these gasses and improving air quality are necessary.

Development of a new soil–structure contact stress sensor for underground construction applications
Authors: Templeman Jack , Sheil Brian
Published: July 2024

This paper describes the design, development, calibration and validation of a novel soil–structure contact stress sensor. The new sensor design combines a novel operating principle, fibre Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensing and data-driven mapping techniques to create a multi-axis contact stress sensor that is both economical and suitably robust for deployment in underground construction applications. The instrumentation process is informed using a ‘virtual twin’ of the sensor in which synthetic data is generated by extracting and interpolating virtual FBG strains obtained from a large number of 3D finite-element calculations. A physical prototype is subsequently developed to demonstrate proof of concept. Results from laboratory validation tests give confidence in the sensor's ability to provide accurate contact stress measurements in typical soil–structure interface shear applications. In particular, the novel sensor structure and operating principle was shown to achieve excellent measurement of effective normal stress. The new sensor design harnesses many of the inherent benefits of FBGs including immunity to electromagnetic noise and water ingress, and the use a single lightweight cable and connector, which significantly simplifies installation on site compared to electrical multi-axis sensors.

Gosong Beach in Bengkayang, West Kalimantan, is selected as a potential Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) site candidate. Volcanic and intrusive rocks are found in the radius of 150 km from it. Based on IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) standard, the main assessment target is volcanic rock that is younger than 10 Ma. However, there are Tertiary volcanic and intrusive rocks next to and cover a wide area around the NPP site that show volcanic activities over the Tertiary period. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate this group of rocks to understand its characteristics. This study aims to characterize the geochemistry and petrology of the Tertiary volcanic and intrusive rocks found in northwestern Kalimantan. The fieldwork was conducted to observe and to take Serantak volcanic rocks, Bawang dacite, Niut volcanics, and Sintang intrusion samples. The XRF and micro-XRF analyses were conducted to characterize the geochemical aspect, while petrography and AMICS analyses were conducted to characterize the mineralogical aspect. The result shows that Serantak volcanic rocks, Bawang dacite, Niut volcanics, and Sintang intrusion are derived from tholeiitic to calc-alkaline as a product of mantel partial melting in the subduction zone which go through fractional crystallization. The volcanic activity was initiated by the rise of primitive parental magma from partial melting in the shallow-depth subducted crust as indicated by the garnet-free HREE pattern, the enrichment of LILE and LREE, and the depleted HREE. The Tertiary magmatism in northwestern Kalimantan was found in a small activity with a small impact on the NPP candidate site at Gosong Beach, Bangkayang.

The speed of growth in height of Swietenia macrophylla stands out in terms of resistance to attack by the Hypsipyla grandella borer and the selection of fast-growing families can make commercial plantings viable. The characters height, diameter, number of leaves and stem form of trees from 4 families of S. macrophylla, aged 47.5 months, planted in Ucayali, Peru, were used to investigate the possibility of selecting fast-growing genotypes. The average heritability (h2m) and selective accuracy (Acprog) between families were moderate for total height (Ht: h2m: 0.407; Acprog: 0.638) and commercial height (Hc: h2m: 0.472; Acprog: 0.687), in addition to Hc positively correlating with susceptibility to the drill attack. The stem form showed statistical differences between families and great h2m (0.984) and Acprog (0.921). The genetic (rg) and phenotypic (rf) correlations between traits showed that a selection of individuals with greater heights will generally result in greater growth in diameter, number of leaves and better stem form. The study highlights the importance of selecting families with fast growth in height and straight stems to enable, improve the quality and increase the productivity of commercial plantations with the species.

Published: July 2024

A importâncias de ações de combate as mudanças climáticas vêm sendo discutida em espaços de governança ambiental global. Entre o dia 6 e 17 de novembro de 2023 foi realizada em Sharjah, nos Emirados Árabes Unidos, a Conferência das Partes da Convenção-Quadro das Nações Unidas sobre Mudança do Clima (COP-28), na qual se reuniram representantes de 197 países para debater os desafios e oportunidades relacionados à mudança do clima. Ações de combate aos efeitos negativos do aquecimento global, acelerado pelas ações humanas já podem ser observadas, mesmo que ainda de forma incipientes. Nessa direção, objetivou-se a partir do desenvolvimento do Projeto Plantando o Futuro, realizar atividades de educação ambiental voltadas para arborização, em escola da rede púbica de ensino do estado do Rio Grande do Norte (RN). As atividades foram desenvolvidas em escolas do município de Mossoró, que encontra localizado no semiárido brasileiro, sendo de suma importância a arborização urbana e o reflorestamento do bioma, Caatinga para o enfrentamento às ações do clima. Foram desenvolvidas atividades como: dinâmicas, roda de conversas e palestras com alunos do ensino fundamental, bem como ações de arborização nas escolas e doações de mudas nativas e frutíferas. Verificou-se que práticas de educação ambiental nos âmbitos formal e informa apresentam-se caminhos possíveis para conscientização da necessidade de ações de adaptação e combate às mudanças climáticas.

La bioconstrucción es una metodología de arquitectura y construcción que se basa en principios ecológicos, utilizando materiales naturales y técnicas sostenibles con el objetivo de desarrollar entornos construidos en sintonía con el entorno. Su principal enfoque es reducir al máximo el impacto ambiental, promover la eficiencia energética y proporcionar entornos saludables para quienes los ocupan. El objetivo de este artículo es realizar un análisis crítico de la literatura sobre las tecnologías y métodos utilizados en bioconstrucción; investigar la esencia de la construcción sustentable; sintetizar y exponer de manera sucinta sistemas que emplean principios de construcción sustentable, para ello se realizó una revisión bibliográfica con análisis de literatura y síntesis de la información obtenida.
Conversational Implicatures in Medical Discourse: An Analysis of Doctor-Patient Dialogues in Amman, Jordan
Authors: Darweesh Sally Mohammad Ali , Al-Khanji Rajai Rashid
Published: July 2024

Effective communication is crucial in medical practice, and adherence to Grice's conversational maxims (quantity, quality, relevance, and manner) can improve communication between doctors and patients. In medical practice, doctors must provide clear and concise information while being honest about medical conditions and treatment options. It is also essential for doctors to communicate using simple language to ensure that the patients understand. This study analyses conversational implicature considering medical discourse in Amman. Twenty-six observations (tape-recorded doctor-patient dialogues) were randomly selected from private and government clinics in Amman, Jordan. The data was sorted and analyzed using the qualitative method of a six-phase framework. This study identifies the cooperative principles, their functions, and conversational implicature in doctor-patient discourse. Our results indicate the significance of all four conversational maxims in medical discourse, with manner being the most prominent aspect, followed by quality, relevance, and quantity. The function of cooperative principles observed in presenting the concepts of expression, direction, assertion, and declaration enhances the quality of medical discourse and promotes clarification in conversation. We observed that non-cooperative conversational implicatures are more frequently used in the doctor-patient dialogue, flouting Grice’s maxims. This flaw could lead to ineffective communication and negative health outcomes. In medical discourse, 66.7% of instances violated the Grice maxim, indicating non-cooperative conversation, while 33.3% involved cooperative implicature. The effective observance of the conversational maxims can positively impact doctors' communication with patients and promote better understanding of medical condition and treatment options that may lead to improved health outcomes.

La razón de ser de la salud pública es propender porque la comunidad esté sana. Esto implica que los individuos que la componen funcionen adecuadamente en cuerpo y mente, en armonía con los demás seres de la naturaleza y en disfrute de su propia convivencia. Se entiende que este propósito general no es una meta fácil de alcanzar, pero se admite como deseable y eventualmente posible.

Objetivo: en Antioquia, Colombia, se realizó un estudio de cohorte en 39 gestantes con dengue y 39 gestantes sin la enfermedad entre enero de 2000 y diciembre de 2002 con el fin de determinar los efectos adversos del virus del dengue durante el embarazo y en el recién nacido. Resultados: se encontró que en el grupo de embarazadas con dengue se presentaron 7 casos de hemorragia vaginal (17,9%) (P=0,005) y 2 abortos (5,1%); una paciente falleció por dengue y se desencadenó trabajo de parto simultáneamente con la infección en 20,5% de los casos. Se presentaron 8 casos de sufrimiento fetal (21,6%) (P=0,0026) y 11 recién nacidos tuvieron un índice de Apgar menor de 7 (29,7%) (P=0,0002). Conclusión: las mujeres con infección por dengue durante la gestación tienen riesgo de hemorragia vaginal y presentan con mayor frecuencia aumento de la actividad uterina; además la infección por dengue durante el embarazo puede ser un factor desencadenante de sufrimiento fetal
La globalización de la salud: entre el reduccionismo económico y la solidaridad ciudadana (segunda parte)
Authors: Franco G Alvaro
Published: July 2024

Este ensayo se refiere a varios conceptos que configuran una nueva megatendencia, quizá la única en el escenario mundial al comienzo del siglo: la globalización, una nueva veta en el debate académico, de la misma manera que se muestra como una opción diferente para la salud pública local, nacional e internacional. El presente escrito considera los temas de la economía, de lo político y de lo social pero se centra en la globalización de la salud, siguiendo la perspectiva principal del análisis. Se exploran diferentes tendencias en la relación entre salud y de globalización, basadas en algunos efectos de la globalización económica, tecnológica, cultural y política y se toman en consideración consecuencias y alternativas e esta sobre la salud: epidemiológicas, éticas, sanitarias, ambientales, de poder y de equidad. Se parte de hechos que evidencian la globalización de los riesgos y la enfermedad, como consecuencia del actual sistema económico y e las relaciones internacionales imperantes. Se reconocen las oportunidades que nos brindan las megatendencias desde finales del siglo pasado, sin detenerse solamente en el debate académico sino apuntando hacia la búsqueda de horizontes sociales para la humanidad: otra alternativa al hegemonismo económico.
