Students’ Experience of Empowerment from Multiple Scaffolders in PBL on Facebook
Authors: Abdullah Aznur Hajar , Neo Tse Kian , Low Jing Hong
Published: July 2022

Scholars propose that students should be empowered when using social media in problem-based learning (PBL) as it is expected to provide positive learning experiences. Nonetheless, even though the use of social media has been described as empowering in PBL, not much research has measured students' experiences of the empowerment offered by multiple scaffolders through social media. In this study, 84 final-year undergraduate management students from a private university in Malaysia participated in a simultaneous within-subject experimental design to solve a business decision-making problem on Facebook. For eight weeks, multiple scaffolders, including an instructor, two business experts, and three to four peers, were present in each closed Facebook group. The students then answered a questionnaire following the PBL activity. Anchored on the Structural Empowerment (SE) Theory, this study evaluated the students’ perceptions of the SE provided by these scaffolders. Subsequently, the relationships among the scaffolders were measured. The results were analysed descriptively and inferentially. Overall, the students reported positive learning experiences but perceived that the instructor and peers provided more SE than the business experts. However, the business experts’ comments on the students' work and discussion points accelerated their problem-solving tasks. Furthermore, the SE provided by peers, instructors, and business experts correlated significantly, suggesting each scaffolder relied on each other when scaffolding. The findings indicate that all scaffolders, including the more experienced ones, should depend on the SE provided by other scaffolders to enable students to complete the complex business problem-solving tasks in PBL.
Household Debt and Economic Growth: The Role of Institutional Quality
Authors: Abd Samad Khairunnisa , Mohd Daud Siti Nurazira , Rusmita Sylva Alif
Published: July 2022

Household debt has a detrimental effect on economic growth. Thus, this study examines the connection between household debt and growth in institutional quality. The impact of ,the relationship on economic growth is assessed using a bias-corrected least square dummy variable of 43 nations. We discovered that institutional quality enhances the role of household debt in sustaining economic growth. Household debt is significantly detrimental to growth when institutional quality is low. Its harmful effect can be lessened with medium institutional quality. Interestingly, higher household debt is beneficial in sustaining growth if accompanied by better institutional quality. Household debt and institutions reinforce each other towards sustaining economic stability for countries with higher institutional quality. The findings are expected to assist central banks and other government authorities in formulating the relevant institutional settings for ensuring economic sustainability, such as prudent debt management and macro-prudential policy. Future studies may consider empirical analysis on a distinct split sample of advanced and emerging economies and employ different estimator methods.

Published: July 2022

This study assessed the influence of social media on self-esteem among university students. Social media factors that affected the self-esteem of university students were ,investigated based on daily time spent on social media. Data were collected from an online questionnaire. Self-esteem was measured using the established Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The quota sampling technique was deployed to select 381 undergraduate university students for this study. Descriptive analysis was performed to analyze the respondents’ demographic details, including gender, race, and age. Correlation and regression analyses were executed using SPSS software to test the correlations between social media factors and self-esteem among undergraduate students. As a result, self-esteem among the students was not significantly influenced by the amount of time they spent on social media. Therefore, more studies are in need to further investigate the main factors that influence the self-esteem of university students.

Summer Branch Drop
Authors: Harris Richard
Published: July 2022

Apparently sound limbs occasionally break out of mature trees during calm summer weather. Species of at least 19 genera are susceptible. This is particularly puzzling since normally limbs would be lighter in weight during times of high transpiration. High xylem pressure and/or weakening of the cell wall bonding in the xylem accompanied by increased limb weight may be responsible.
Remote Sensing Survey of Pecan Trees in Five Texas Cities
Authors: Rodgers L.C. , Harris M.K.
Published: July 2022

Canopy coverage of the total tree populations and pecan tree populations in five Texas urban areas were estimated and recorded based on an existing method of survey. This method utilized color infrared aerial photography in conjunction with the Universal Transverse Mercator grid system to inventory the trees and create a permanent data file for each urban area. Several modifications were made to increase the compatibility of the existing survey method to urban areas and to expand the amount of information recorded for each area. Analysis of the data collected was based on computer software programs, and the output was in tabular and graphical formats. Uses of these types of data files include landscape and city planning, surveys, and monitoring vegetation for disease or insect pest outbreaks.

In all cases, the public tree manager may select only those programs from the system that best fit the needs of the city. By using a computerized system capable of analyzing public tree populations in each of the three major management categories typically found in cities, the public tree manager can do a more efficient job of managing the urban forest.
Urban Tree Cultivar Exchange Program of the Netherlands and the United States
Authors: Gerhold Henry , Karnosky David , Heybroek Hans
Published: July 2022

A program has been developed for exchanging urban tree cultivars and related technical information between The Netherlands and the United States. We discussed with Dutch experts the need for a program, and possible activities in selection of trees, breeding, propagation, performance testing, and evaluation. We also examined experimental plantations, young trees in commercial nurseries, and mature trees in cities. An initial list contains more than 40 cultivars that may be considered for importation into the U.S. The list should be expanded in the future through a more extensive search, and by periodic additions of new cultivars when these are developed through selection and breeding. Decisions to import and test trees should be made only after careful review by scientific and commercial experts. Because valuable information on urban trees is available in both countries, a systematic exchange of information should be organized using simple, inexpensive procedures. The process for selecting cultivars to import, propagate, test, evaluate, and distribute to commercial nurseries needs to be developed further in each country. In The Netherlands the design of procedures is well advanced. Potential cooperators in the U.S. need to agree upon responsibilities and activities promptly if the exchange program is to succeed.
Techumbres mudéjares. Aspectos técnicos, conservación y restauración
Authors:   Universidad de la Laguna, Marrero Alberto Antonio
Published: July 2022

El Arte Mudéjar es fruto de la estancia y dominación de los musulmanes en la Península Ibérica, y la transmisión de sus soluciones artísticas y estructurales a las construcciones cristianas. Los artesonados son la obra magna vinculada a este lenguaje y, por sus características, exige un acercamiento que parta desde la idea de la multidisciplinariedad, es decir, desde los posibles ámbitos implicados en su estudio: conservación y restauración; historia del arte; constructiva, compositiva y estructural; química y desde las técnicas analíticas; iconográfica e iconológica; carpinteril y lígneo; etc. En el presente libro surgen varios capítulos de naturaleza eminentemente técnica, que giran en torno al desarrollo terminológico, los procesos constructivos, los tratamientos de las techumbres, los desencadenantes de alteraciones y los daños de este bien patrimonial, además de un glosario específico y una bibliografía ejemplar. Todos estos aspectos pueden ser extrapolados a las armaduras de los diferentes territorios en los que el mudéjar alcanzó difusión y desarrollo. Este libro pretende arrojar luz en torno a este bien patrimonial, representante de un lenguaje genuinamente español, pero con mayor presencia a nivel internacional.

Introdução: O Sars-Cov-2 trouxe desafios para as equipes de saúde no processo de pesquisa de detecção e acompanhamento dos pacientes infectados pelo novo coronavírus. Devido ao impacto da doença, o perfil bioquímico dos indivíduos acometidos pelo vírus demonstrou-se importante para rastreabilidade e assistência médica, devido expressarem o reflexo das lesões causadas pela infecção. A dosagens de LDH (desidrogenase lácta), bilirrubina total, troponina cardíaca, AST (aspartato aminotransferase), ALT (alanina aminotransferase), IL-6(interleucina 6), proteína C reativa, ferritina e creatinina demonstraram a diversidade de acometimentos celulares e sistemas fisiológicos no organismo humano. Objetivos: Realizar uma revisão bibliográfica apresentando os principais marcadores bioquímicos utilizados na detecção e acompanhamento de pacientes acometidos pela COVID-19, indicar as alterações presentes e sua relevância. Material e método: Foram selecionados artigos científicos que abordassem sobre marcadores bioquímicos utilizados na detecção da COVID-19, a partir de buscas realizadas nos bancos de dados virtuais: LILACS, Scientific Library online (SCIELO), BVS e Google Acadêmico. Como critérios de inclusão foram considerados apenas estudos entre (2019-2022), em qualquer idioma, cujo assunto principal tratava a respeito dos exames laboratoriais no manejo de pacientes acometidos pela covid 19. Foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: COVID-19; biomarcadores; bioquímica e diagnóstico. Resultados: Os resultados mostram que pacientes diagnosticados pelo vírus apresentaram elevação dos níveis de ferritina sérica, LDH, AST, ALT, proteína C reativa e creatinina sérica, além do IL-6 em pacientes com risco de futuras falhas respiratórias. A maioria dos trabalhos relatam alterações nos exames de função renal, cardíaca e pulmonar devido a infecção viral. Proteínas estruturais do vírus demonstraram, segundo estudos, a habilidade de deslocar o ferro presente na hemoglobina dos eritrócitos representando baixa saturação de oxigênio conduzindo-o a uma involução do seu estado, além de causar danos oxidativos, desencadeamento de processo inflamatório e tempestade de citocinas. Conclusão: Portanto, conclui-se que os marcadores laboratoriais podem auxiliar na detecção de pacientes acometidos pelo SARS-COV2 acompanhando a evolução quadro infeccioso do paciente, categorizando a fase da doença e indicando possíveis patologias que o paciente pode desenvolver, como por exemplo: infarto agudo do miocárdio, eventos tromboembólicos, acidentes vasculares, insuficiência renal, e alterações hepáticas que o paciente poderá apresentar devido a infecção.

Introdução: A superfície da hemácia possui carga elétrica negativa que é principalmente conferida por sítios terminais das glicoproteínas e dos glicolipídeos. A membrana plasmática possui gangliosídeos, os quais são glicoesfingolipídeos que contêm cabeças oligossacarídicas polares. Essas cabeças carregam uma carga negativa através de seus resíduos de ácido siálico. Todas as células da medula óssea apresentam ligação para a ferritina cationizada (FC) na sua superfície. Essa propriedade de superfície, de ligação e afinidade pela FC, que está diretamente relacionada com a interação célula–célula ou célula–substrato, é também conhecida como tensão superficial. Ela resulta da exposição superficial de segmentos moleculares hidrofóbicos de glicoproteínas.  Objetivo: Enteder o funcionamento do potencial zeta descrito na literatura. Metodologia: O estudo trata-se de uma revisão de literatura com abordagem qualitativa de artigos das bases de dados SCIELO, LILACS, BIREME. Foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: potencial zeta, análise química do sangue e membrana plasmática. Utilizou-se como critérios de inclusão estudos completos disponíveis no idioma português e do ano de 2005 a 2022. Quanto aos critérios de exclusão não foram coletados estudos fora da temática principal da pesquisa e trabalhos com apenas resumos disponíveis. Resultado e Discussões: Como cargas iguais se repelem, os eritrócitos em suspensão permanecem separados uns dos outros em meio salino. Os eletrólitos contidos no meio envolvem cada hemácia como uma nuvem de íons positivos que se torna menos densa à medida que se distancia do glóbulo. A diferença de potencial entre a nuvem de cátions atraídos pelas cargas elétricas negativas da membrana eritrocitária e o meio é chamada de potencial zeta (PZ). O PZ é a medida da interação das forças de atração de van der Waals e as forças eletrostáticas, é a medida do potencial elétrico que circunda as partículas em suspensão de um coloide. Quanto maior é o PZ mais estável é um coloide, pois as partículas carregadas se repelem umas às outras, e essa força supera a tendência natural à agregação, o que significa menor agregação e menor coagulação. Conclusão: O presente estudo pode de uma forma sintética, explicar o funcionamento químico do PZ e demostrar sua importância no funcionamento do orgamismo.

Introdução: A infecção do trato urinário (ITU) é a segunda infecção mais comum na população em geral, podendo causar graves consequências à saúde do paciente. A pandemia pelo SARS-CoV-2 tem modificado a epidemiologia de várias patologias. Alguns estudos têm mostrado que pacientes infectados pelo coronavírus podem apresentar alguma repercussão sobre o aparelho urinário. Objetivo: Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o perfil das bactérias isoladas em uroculturas positivas, durante o período pandêmico por COVID-19 (2020 a 2022), provenientes de pacientes internados num hospital público.  Material e Métodos: Foi realizado um levantamento retrospectivo dos resultados de amostras de urinas positivas, quanto ao tipo de bactéria e perfil de sensibilidade aos antimicrobianos, realizadas pelo laboratório de Bacteriologia Médica, lotado no LEPAC/UEM.  Resultados: Neste estudo, foi observado maior prevalência de infecção urinária causada por bactérias Gram negativas, tais como Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae e Enteroccus faecalis. Entre as espécies mais prevalentes, de modo geral, foi observado aumento da resistência bacteriana em 2021 e 2022 quando comparado a 2020, o que pode ter sido influenciado pela pandemia da COVID-19. Conclusão: Por fim, pudemos observar uma correlação entre o número de casos de COVID-19 na população local com o aumento do número de uroculturas positivas analisadas no mesmo período. Os dados sugerem o impacto da pandemia pelo coronavírus nas infecções do trato urinário de origem bacteriana, evidenciando a necessidade de uma maior atenção e intervenção, especialmente nos casos de pacientes com comorbidades, a fim de reduzir o número de óbitos, o consequente aumento de resistência bacteriana os gastos públicos com esta patologia.
