Published: November 2022

A partir de diversas perspectivas de argumentação, a introdução da Física Moderna e Contemporânea no nível médioda educação básica tem sido defendida por vários pesquisadores. Essas argumentações nem sempre se coadunam. Napresente investigação, de natureza qualitativa, construímos e interpretamos os discursos de dez professores de Físicaatuantes na educação básica brasileira, no sentido de avaliarmos em que medida as suas formações iniciais, notocante à Física Moderna e Contemporânea, esteve pautada em uma racionalidade que se harmoniza com a açãocomunicativa e com a dialógica, respectivamente, habermasiana e freireana. Os professores participaramindividualmente de entrevista semipadronizada e, na época da realização dessas, haviam concluído a formação básicahá menos de cinco anos. Para a interpretação dos discursos dos professores, nos apoiamo em alguns conceitos daanálise de discurso da escola francesa, em conceitos da teoria da ação comunicativa de Jürgen Habermas, na açãodialógica de Paulo Freire bem como em referenciais críticos sobre a formação de professores. A interpretação dosdiscursos evidencia que a formação dos professores, no tocante ao ensino da Física Moderna e Contemporânea,mostra-se basicamente fundamentada nos preceitos da racionalidade técnico-instrumental. Essa perspectiva nãocontribuiu para a construção da autonomia e emancipação dos professores produzindo reflexos no ensino de física desala de aula. O estudo evidencia a necessidade de os professores formadores revisarem suas práticas de ensino, comotambém estudarem outras possibilidades de estruturação curricular, no tocante ao ensino da Física Moderna eContemporânea.
CEZA YARGILAMASINDA CUMHURİYET SAVCISININ TARAFSIZLIĞI SORUNU
Authors: SERTTAŞ Alp Tolgahan
Published: November 2022

Ceza yargılamasına katılan süjelerden biri olan Cumhuriyet savcısının taraf olarak kabul edilip edilemeyeceği hususu doktrinde üzerinde görüş birliğine varılamayan konulardan birisidir. Bu konuda doktrinde hemen her yazar ya farklı görüş ileri sürmekte ya da aynı sonuca farklı gerekçelerle ulaşmaktadır. Cumhuriyet savcısının yargılamada taraf olarak kabul edilemeyeceğini savunanlar olduğu gibi yargılamanın bir tarafı olarak kabul edilmesi gerektiği yönünde görüş ifade edenler de bulunmaktadır. Taraf olarak kabul edilmesi gerektiği yönünde görüş ifade edenler de kendi içlerinde şekli anlamda taraf- maddi anlamda taraf, makam itibariyle taraf- şahsı itibariyle taraf şeklinde ayrılmaktadır. Taraf olarak kabul etmeyenler ise Cumhuriyet savcısının yargılamanın tarafı değil, maddi gerçeğin ortaya çıkarılması hususunda mahkemeye yardım etmesi amacıyla kanun koyucu tarafından görevlendirilmiş bağımsız bir adalet organı olduğu görüşünü paylaşmaktalar. Bilindiği üzere mevzuatımızda Cumhuriyet savcısının reddine yönelik bir mekanizmaya yer verilmiş değildir. Ceza Muhakemesi Kanunu’nda hakim, bilirkişi ve zabıt katibinin reddi düzenlenmiş ama bu düzenlemelerde Cumhuriyet savcısına yer verilmemiştir. Yukarıda yer verilen görüşler teorik bir tartışmadan ziyade bu noktada önem kazanmaktadır. Zira cumhuriyet savcısını taraf olarak kabul edecek olursak, tarafsız olmak gibi bir yükümlülüğünün olduğunu ileri süremeyecek ve reddini talep edemeyeceğiz. Ancak Cumhuriyet savcısının tarafsız olmakla yükümlü olduğunu kabul edecek olursak tarafsızlığını tehlikeye düşüren durumlarda reddi veya çekinmesini talep edebilmemiz gerekmektedir. Ceza muhakemesi kanunumuzda Cumhuriyet savcısının taraf olup olmaması ile ilgili doğrudan bir düzenlemeye yer verilmemekle birlikte Ceza Muhakemesi Kanunu m. 160/2 savcıya; şüpheli veya sanığın hem lehine hem de aleyhine olan delilleri toplamayı ve şüphelinin haklarını korumayı bir görev olarak yüklemiştir. Yine 2802 sayılı Hakimler ve Savcılar Kanunu m. 46/3’te ve 68/1-b’de hakim ve savcıların tarafsız olmaları gereği dolaylı olarak vurgulanmaktadır. Çalışmamızda ve sunumumuzda tüm bu hususlar değerlendirilecek olup, kendi görüşümüz gerekçelendirilerek sunulacaktır.
UTİ POSSİDETİS (MEVCUT SINIRLARIN KORUNMASI) İLKESİ ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: ÇAKIR Tuğrul
Published: November 2022

Uti Possidetis Roma Özel Hukuku kaynaklı bir ilke olup uluslararası hukuk bağlamında ilk olarak 19. yüzyılda Latin Amerika’da uygulanmıştır. Bu uygulanmanın sonucu olarak sömürge dönemindeki iç birimlerin sınırları Latin Amerika’da yeni bağımsızlığını kazanan devletlerin uluslararası sınırları haline gelmiştir. Benzer şekilde, bu ilke 20. yüzyılda Afrika kıtasında başlayan sömürgecilikten kurtulma sürecinde de benimsenmiştir. 1986 yılında Uluslararası Adalet Divanı’nın Dairesi Burkina Faso ve Mali arasındaki Sınır Uyuşmazlığı davasında vermiş olduğu kararında ilkeyi ilk defa açık bir biçimde bir uyuşmazlığın çözümünde uygulamıştır. Bununla birlikte, ilke sadece dekolonizasyon sürecinde değil bu sürecin dışında da uygulama alanı bulmuştur. Örneğin, 1990’lı yıllarda Avrupa’da devletlerin dağılması sürecinde de bu ilkeye başvurulmuştur. Çıkış noktası itibarıyla, bu ilkeyle amaçlanan devletlerarası sınırlarda istikrarı sağlamak ve savaşların önüne geçmektir. Şüphesiz, uluslararası hukukta istikrara verilmiş olan önem çok üst düzeydedir. Bu çalışmada ele alacağımız mesele bu ilkenin hangi ölçüde uluslararası istikrarın oluşmasına katkı sağladığıdır. Bu bağlamda, öncelikle ilkenin kavramsal yapısını daha sonraki aşamada Uluslararası Adalet Divanı tarafından nasıl uygulandığını temel yargı kararları ışığında incelemenin yerinde olduğunu düşünüyoruz. Uti possidetis ilkesi Türkçe uluslararası hukuk literatüründe Uluslararası Adalet Divanı kararları incelemeleri kapsamında ele alınsa da başlı başına bir çalışmanın konusunu oluşturmamıştır. Bu çalışmayla amaçlanan Türkçe uluslararası hukuk literatürüne bu konuda katkı sağlamaktır.

Community colleges have become key players in the effort to train a highly skilled and diverse workforce in STEM fields. Organizations such as the National Science Foundation (NFS), have acknowledged the importance of the two-year sector by awarding millions of dollars to community colleges to fund scholarships in STEM areas, especially for underrepresented students. In addition, the NFS plans to give $100 million to Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) for Stem and Articulation Grants to support transfer between two- and four- year colleges and to enhance STEM education at these institutions.
The Value of Music Education in the Development of Internationally Competent Students
Authors: Tabuena Almighty C. , Morales Glinore S. , Ann C. Perez Mary Leigh
Published: November 2022

The music that is played at school and the music that is played at home vary significantly for the majority of teenagers, despite the fact that music is highly important to them and plays a large part in their life. This is true despite the fact that most teenagers place a high value on music. Teenagers have a broad range of musical preferences, according to research, and these disparities may be attributed to a number of personal and societal factors. The researcher makes a case for incorporating non-Western musical idioms into the music curriculum and addresses the issue of insufficient music education in Croatian elementary schools. The author specifically supports the inclusion of popular music and music from other cultures in the curriculum. The author also argues in favor of broadening the scope of music lessons by including non-Western musical traditions into the curriculum. Students who participate in music education will acquire the skills necessary to perform successfully in a variety of situations throughout the world.
Filling in the Gaps: Comparing the Use of Verbal Ellipsis in English and Arabic
Authors: Haleem Haneen Ali , Abd Elazeez Wael Mohammed
Published: November 2022

This study sheds light on the contrastive aspects found between ellipsis in the English and Arabic language. Ellipsis can be described as substituting an element by zero in certain expressions, often to avoid repetition or for stylistic and emphasis purposes. The study deals with the problem of identifying the similarities and differences between the use of ellipsis in Arabic and English especially in terms of types of ellipsis, recoverability and evidence, and the reasons and functions of ellipsis in both languages. It aims to identify the types and categories of ellipsis in both languages, as well the ways through which ellipsis is evident, and eventually draw a comparison between the reasons and purposes of using them in English and Arabic. The work is divided into five parts. The first section is about introducing the aims, hypotheses, procedures, limits, and value of work. Sections Two and Three present an analysis of Ellipsis in English and Arabic, respectively. Section Four compares between ellipsis in English and Arabic, followed by the conclusions and future works in the last section..
Excuses uit het hart

Apologies from the heart – Some reflections on national apologies for the colonial slavery past

This contribution pays attention to the relevance and form of national apologies for colonial slavery. The focus is on the legal-political meaning of apologies: how can apologies actually contribute to the recognition of legal injustice from the past? It will be argued that apologies in which colonial slavery is declared a criminal form of injustice (a crime against humanity) repeals its historical legal validity. In doing so, the enslaved will posthumously obtain the legal recognition they deserve as persons in their own right. Next, the formal side of national apologies is discussed: should they indeed take the form of statutory law, as recommended by the Dutch Advisory Committee on the History of Slavery? What exactly happens if national apologies are accompanied by a ‘disclaimer’, ruling out in advance any legal liability that might result from the apology? It is argued that the legal form recommended for this purpose by the Advisory Committee would merit reconsideration if national apologies for the slavery past come ‘from the heart’. The recommendation that those legal apologies be provided with a ‘disclaimer’ should be critically examined, because apologies for legal injustice that involve new forms of exclusion are highly problematic.
Erkenning van het koloniale verleden onder Nederlanders en de bereidheid tot herstel

Recognition of a negative colonial past among the Dutch and the willingness to repair – The role of identification with Dutch people

It can be argued that for a widely shared way of handling and doing justice to the Dutch colonial past and the harm it has caused, not only (representatives of) Dutch institutions, but also the Dutch population should show greater accountability for this history. In this article, the author focus on the psychological phenomenon of identification with the own group (here the Dutch national group), and how this impacts current group members’ acknowledgment of past wrongdoings. In particular, and largely based on studies conducted for his dissertation, as well as more recent work, he elaborate on the influence group identification can have on feelings of guilt for the group’s harm doing during the colonial past, and how such feelings of guilt can motivate current group members to support restorative actions such as apologies and increasing awareness in the Netherlands for the negative colonial past. The research discussed in this article firstly shows that on average, current Dutch people do not tend to express strong feelings of guilt for their nation’s colonial history. That said, there are subgroups of Dutch people who may report stronger feelings of guilt, depending on their degree of group identification. The author argues and substantiates based on the studies conducted that a high group identification is unlikely to predict strong feelings of guilt, because people high in identification are more motivated to maintain and protect their positive view of their own group – which forms an important part of their identity. They therefore employ defensive strategies to downplay the historical misdeeds for current Dutch people. Perhaps counterintuitively then, those who are less invested in the own group and do not identify as strongly (‘lower identifiers’), are most likely to express strong feelings of guilt for the colonial misdeeds and support restorative actions also more. The author concludes this article by discussing studies that indicate under which circumstances higher identifiers may also come to feel strong feelings of guilt and associated restorative intentions – the key ingredient of such circumstances is, he argues, that it provides higher identifiers the opportunity to show their group’s strong morality when expressing guilt. Finally, he relativizes the beneficial contribution feelings of guilt can have for group relations: it may contribute to reparation of colonial harm doing, but other studies have indicated that this emotion is less fit to motivate people to combat structural and ongoing inequality between groups with a shared colonial past.
The important factors of Saudi Arabian policymaking in renewable energy resources
Authors:   Department of Communication and Social Science, East Tehran Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran, Hajimineh Rahmat , Moghani Amir Mohammad
Published: November 2022

There is no doubt that Saudi Arabia exports the most oil. The country has considered notable investments in Renewable Energy to diversify its economy and decrease dependence on oil export. The research aims to analyze the key factors that have influenced Saudi Arabia's renewable energy policy. The main question of our article is: What are the influential factors in Saudi Arabia's energy policy on renewable energy sources? In response, the research hypothesizes that the growing energy consumption of Saudi Arabia and its favorable geographical location for renewable energy production caused the country to invest in renewable energy for its energy mix, economy, and carbon emission reductions. To investigate the research hypothesis, we have used the theoretical framework of energy security by Benjamin Sovacool. The findings show that Saudi Arabia’s capital investments in renewable energy provide opportunities for the government to create a modern industry that creates jobs and revenue with the support of the private sector. Furthermore, industries and residences use renewable energy for electricity. Therefore, renewable energy has decreased fossil fuel dependence and diversification of the country's energy mix consumption. Data are collected through the library method. The analysis method is descriptive.
Régészeti adatok és természettudományi eredmények a Maros-torkolat nyugati oldalának 10. századi történetéhez
Authors: Türk Attila , Lőrinczy Gábor
Published: November 2022

Magyarországon az elmúlt 25 évben számos, (nagy-)beruházásokhoz kapcsolódó megelőző és leletmentő ásatást végeztek, melyek alapvető jelentősége az új leletanyag mellett abban áll, hogy a korábbiakhoz képest hatalmas, összefüggő területek kerültek feltárásra. Így a különböző korszakokból származó anyagi és szellemi kultúra újabb és újabb elemeit és összefüggéseit sikerült megfi gyelni. A magyar honfoglalás kori régészet számára ezen feltárások legnagyobb nyeresége az, hogy a hiteles körülmények között teljesen feltárt temetők számát növelték. Megerősítést nyert nemcsak az, hogy az adott korszakban voltak magányos sírok, illetve kis sírszámú, korábbi terminológiával „kiscsaládi”, újabban „szállási” temetők, hanem olyan változataik is, melyek igen szórt szerkezetűek. Munkánk a fenti folyamat Csongrád megye, azon belül is a Maros- torkolat nyugati oldalán előkerült eredményeit foglalja össze és nyújt új értékelést széles körű természettudományi vizsgálatok tükrében. Csongrád megye déli részén, a Maros-torkolat Duna–Tisza közi oldalán az ezredforduló óta számos új honfoglalás kori lelőhellyel lettünk gazdagabbak (BENDE–LŐRINCZY–TÜRK 2002; BENDE–LŐRINCZY–TÜRK 2003; LŐRINCZY–TÜRK 2011; BENDE–LŐRINCZY–TÜRK 2013; LŐRINCZY–STRAUB–TÜRK 2015). Jelen összeállításunkkal ehhez szeretnénk hozzájárulni azzal, hogy a 2009-ben előkerült új, eddig közöletlen öthalmi lelőhely sírjai mellett helyenként javított és több esetben átértékelt formában újraközöljük a már korábban bemutatott lelőhelyek (1.kép) temetkezéseit, ahol az eddigieknél részletesebb sír- és tárgyleírásokat, valamint gazdagabb illusztrációs anyagot teszünk közzé, mert csak ez nyújthat kellően biztos alapot a jövő régészeti kutatásához.
Experimental investigation for non-linear vibrations of free supported and cantilever FFF rectangular plates
Authors: Abdeddine E. , Majid A. , Beidouri Z. , Zarbane Kh.
Published: November 2022

The aim of this paper is to investigate experimentally the effect of large vibration of a cantilever and a fully free rectangular plate made by a Fused Filament Fabrication process. Furthermore, this investigation attempts to compare our measurements and those obtained in the literature experimentally.

For this purpose, a test rig was designed and manufactured for all experimental trials. The plate was excited randomly and harmonically at large displacement respectively, to obtain the linear and non-linear frequencies parameter.

The non-linear dynamic behaviour of our structure at forced vibration is figured by exciting the plate at large displacement. The dependence of frequency and amplitude vibration are examined for the first, second, and third mode shapes. The non-linear dynamic behaviour of cantilever plates is compared with literature to illustrate the convergence of our results by using our specific mechanical properties, printing parameters, and process. Furthermore, the non-dimensional comparison is shown by 33.38%, 5.83%, and 20.58% for the first, second, and third mode shapes, respectively.

Experimental tests will be performed on a 3D-printed metal plate to improve the present work.

This work is intended to determine the dynamic proprieties of our parts in order to manufacture a safe and comfort machine.

Actually, the dynamic behaviour of our 3D printing plates is compared with the obtained in the case of the isotropic plate for the aim to predict the convergence of both structures.
Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Capacity Building of Organisations and Individuals
Authors: Kuppuswami Damodaram , Ferreira Frances
Published: November 2022

To ensure its partners have the capacity to implement gender responsive projects, COL introduced an online training programme on gender equality and women’s empowerment. This paper reports the methodology and results in measuring the efficacy of this online training at individual and organisational levels. The ability of individuals and organisations to plan and implement transformative actions with a gender perspective require adequate knowledge, skills and a change in attitudes. Given this need, the commonly used Knowledge, Attitude, Skills (KAS) model was used to measure the efficacy of this online training at individual and organisational levels by defining different dimensions of capacities with three learning domains — Cognitive, Affective, Psychomotor (Bloom’s Taxonomy). The baseline and the end line of KAS at the individual level on the six core gender capacities was established for comparison. Two questionnaires were designed to assess the learning achievements of the participants and to measure the efficacy of the training. An analysis of the study registers a clear trend of positive outcomes at the individual level regarding improved knowledge, attitudes and skills on gender equality that could be applied in their work. Furthermore, the paper reports that the organisations demonstrate an enabling environment for more gender equal policies, structures and practices and proposes ways to convert the success of this training by integrating it into the broader gender equality strategy of these organisations.
A Systematic Study of the Literature on Career Guidance Expert Systems for Students: Implications for ODL
Authors: Gunwant Shilpa
Published: November 2022

The continual evolution of employment opportunities in the present industrial era has raised the need for career-long expert advice. Similar to other fields, thankfully technology has come to our rescue in the area of career guidance also. This paper presents a systematic review of Expert Systems (ES) developed for career guidance, course selection and evaluation of students in the past ten years. The popular research databases Google Scholar and Science Direct were used for obtaining the relevant research papers through broad keywords. The keywords were refined to identify the articles related to rule-based, case-based and fuzzy logic-based ES used for career guidance. A total of twenty-five peer-reviewed relevant articles with full-text available online was selected for the final study. In order to avoid duplicity, technical reports and unreferenced literature were excluded. The review identifies the relatively high weight given by the researchers to rule-based systems owing to their simplicity and broad applicability. However, the relative merits and demerits of rule-based, case-based and fuzzy logic-based ES are highly dependent on the field of application. Nevertheless, ES find wide applications in the area of career guidance and have the potential to enhance the career guidance accessibility of the most remote students.
Online Learning as an Alternative Learning Modality in Ecuador’s Education Institutions Amidst Crises and Outbreaks: A SWOT Analysis
Authors: Rochina-Chisag Ángel Geovanny , Tabuena Almighty Cortezo
Published: November 2022

The primary objective of this paper is to analyse the weaknesses, threats, strengths, and opportunities (SWOT matrix analysis) of online teaching and learning in educational institutions (primary, secondary, and higher education) in Ecuador during the COVID-19 pandemic. A qualitative study of the descriptive documentary type was conducted, where the information obtained from virtual education in times of crisis and outbreaks was collected and analysed. It was found that educational centers at different levels of schooling still continued to use traditional teaching methods and processes subject to old procedures as a basis for their incursion into virtuality, although other establishments began to handle combined modalities such as blended and hybrid online (e-learning) modes of learning. In conclusion, the deadly coronavirus disease (SARS-COV-2) abruptly halted much human activity worldwide. This forced hesitant educational systems that still used traditional face-to-face teaching methods in classrooms to move and change to online learning in many regions, regardless of the socioeconomic level and demographics of the students. Aside from determining how to deal with the problems and challenges of virtual education during epidemics and natural disasters, it is clear that the number of technology-driven educational start-ups has increased significantly.

Resultados parciales de la vigilancia epidemiológica realizada por el Proyecto CoVIDA: Una experiencia de apoyo a la vigilancia epidemiológica frente a la pandemia por COVID-19 en Bogotá D. C.
Authors: Grupo Científico Proyecto CoVIDA
Published: November 2022

Objetivo: Reportar los resultados parciales de la vigilancia epidemiológica del proyecto CoVIDA del 18 de abril al 7 de noviembre de 2020 en Colombia.
Materiales y métodos: CoVIDA realizó una vigilancia activa del virus SARS-CoV-2 enfocada en población selecta, que es determinada por características sociales, económicas, ocupacionales y movilidad, entre otras. Las personas identificadas fueron llamadas por el equipo del proyecto CoVIDA para su caracterización y se agendó una cita para el hisopado nasofaríngeo, en un sitio determinado o a domicilio. A los casos índices se les efectuó rastreo de contactos y se tomó hisopado a todos los contactos mayores de 14 años, a los cuales no se les había tomado una prueba para SARS- CoV-2 en los últimos 15 días.
Resultados: Se realizaron 22.390 hisopados nasofaríngeos, procesados por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa; de este total, 1.025 personas fueron positivas (4,6 %). Durante la caracterización de las personas con resultado positivo, 644 (67,9 %) personas no tuvieron síntomas en los últimos 14 días. Se le efectuó rastreo a 673 casos índices que permitió identificar 2.882 personas.
Conclusiones: Los resultados parciales de CoVIDA evidencian que existen poblaciones con mayor exposición al virus, derivada de la movilidad y ocupación que tienen las personas y estos resultados son congruentes con los que se han descrito internacionalmente.
Igualmente, la experiencia de CoVIDA e internacional demuestran que los casos confirmados y sin síntomas superan el 50,0 % de los casos confirmados. Por ende, las autoridades de salud deben considerar estas conclusiones cuando realicen intervenciones de estrategia “Pruebas, Rastreo y Aislamiento Selectivo Sostenible (PRASS)” en Colombia.

Authors: Pacheco Prieto Claudia Patricia
Published: November 2022

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo en Bogotá entre 2015 y 2018, con el fin de caracterizar la morbilidad materna extrema según variables sociodemográficas y clinicoepidemiológicas. Se tuvieron en cuenta los casos reportados como morbilidad materna extrema (MME) que cumplían con los criterios de inclusión según el Protocolo de Vigilancia de la MME del Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS), mediante las bases del Sivigila 2015-2018. Después de un proceso de depuración de la base de datos, se realizó la caracterización con base en la descripción de las variables: semana epidemiológica de notificación, edad, etapa de la gestación, tipo de seguridad social, número de gestaciones, edad gestacional, número de controles prenatales (CPN), terminación del embarazo, total de criterios y causas agrupadas. Entre 2015 y 2018 se notificaron 19.366 eventos y una razón de MME creciente que alcanzó 61,4 eventos por 1.000 nacidos vivos en el periodo analizado. Se observó que las localidades de residencia en donde ocurrió el mayor número de casos de MME fueron Suba, Kennedy, Ciudad Bolívar, Bosa y Engativá, mientras que las razones más altas se presentaron en las localidades de Sumapaz, Los Mártires, Rafael Uribe Uribe, Tunjuelito y Puente Aranda. Hubo una relación inversa entre la proporción de casos notificados y la historia de gestaciones previas, el 71,5 de las maternas se habían realizado más de cuatro controles prenatales con una proporción creciente en los cuatro años de observación. Las causas mórbidas específicas fueron en su orden: trastornos hipertensivos, complicaciones hemorrágicas y sepsis de origen obstétrico y no obstétrico. Se presentaron 176 casos de morbilidad materna extrema por cada caso de muerte materna ocurrida durante la gestación o dentro de los 42 días siguientes a la terminación del embarazo. Se recomendó fortalecer la asesoría en planificación familiar para retardar el embarazo a edades tempranas, promover la consulta preconcepcional y el control prenatal de manera temprana en el primer trimestre, enfocado en la identificación de los riesgos clínicos asociados a la aparición de la MME.

El recinto ferial Corferias, ubicado en Bogotá, recibe al año una cantidad importante de visitantes, todos ellos con el ánimo de participar en diversos eventos de carácter comercial, cultural y de esparcimiento, ya sea como expositores o como visitantes. Todas estas personas se encuentran expuestas frente a la posibilidad de la materialización de riesgos en salud pública generados por las diferentes actividades que allí se llevan a cabo, tales como desabastecimiento de agua potable, presencia de vectores plaga, enfermedad transmitida por alimento (ETA) —a causa de inadecuadas prácticas en la preparación y/o comercialización de alimentos—, enfermedades infectocontagiosas por inadecuado manejo de residuos de carácter especial, intoxicaciones por sustancias químicas, infección respiratoria aguda (IRA) o vehiculizadas a través del aire, enfermedades de origen zoonótico, etc. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo presentar las acciones llevadas a cabo por el proyecto de vigilancia intensificada al recinto ferial Corferias y sus instalaciones anexas o complementarias, en el periodo comprendido entre julio del 2018 y diciembre del 2021, los resultados obtenidos y los retos a abordar a partir del 2022. Gracias al levantamiento de una línea base clara y real, a partir de la puesta en marcha de este proyecto se consolidó una dinámica de intervención de los diferentes eventos que contempla un enfoque de promoción y prevención, así como las acciones propias de vigilancia que competen a la Subred Integrada de Servicios de Salud Centro Oriente ESE como autoridad sanitaria. Transcurridos tres años y medio de acciones enmarcadas en el modelo de inspección, vigilancia y control, se ha logrado proteger la salud de millones de personas que han participado en eventos desarrollados en el interior de las instalaciones de Corferias. También son muchos los retos presentados y, con ellos, los logros obtenidos, destacando la participación de la Corporación de Ferias y Exposiciones, quienes no obstante ser el objeto principal de vigilancia, juegan también un papel importante como facilitadores en los diferentes procesos.

Processing methods are used to increase the nutritional value of soybean. The purpose of this research was to study the effect of different processing methods of soybean on performance, carcass traits, and blood metabolites of Ross broiler chickens. A factorial experiment was used in the form of a completely random design using 600 male Ross 308 broiler chickens for 42 days (in 3 feeding phases: starter, grower, and finisher). The experimental factors included the 2 soybean varieties (Katol and Caspian) and 4 processing methods (unprocessed, extruded, thermal, and gamma radiation). Data were measured and analyzed with the Lsmeans procedure by SAS package. Processing methods had a significant effect on the feed conversion ratio (FCR) at the starter and finisher phase. Soybean varieties had a significant effect on the FCR at the whole phase. Interaction of processing methods and soybean variety had a significant effect on the FCR at the finisher and whole phase. Processing methods had a significant effect on the albumin. Soybean varieties, processing methods and interaction of them had a significant effect on the phosphorus. Interaction of processing methods and soybean varieties had a significant effect on the live weight, thigh, wings, pancreas weight, uric acid, and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Results showed that extruded and thermal methods are the most suitable for soybean processing.

Study of scenario and weather based prediction of severity of early blight (Alternaria solani Ell. & Mart) on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) for five Indian states, viz. Rajendranagar (Telangana), Bengaluru (Karnataka), Rahuri (Maharashtra), Raipur (Chhattisgarh) and Ludhiana (Punjab) was made using advanced statistical method of support vector regression (SVR) with its accuracy compared with conventional multiple linear regression (MLR) model. Comparisons of early blight severity for mean and maximum severity levels across seasons for each location was carried out using Duncanâ€™s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Early blight mean and maximum severity levels were in order: Bengaluru (KA) > Rajendranagar (TS) > Rahuri (MH) > Raipur (CG) > Ludhiana (PB). Ludhiana (PB) had nil incidence during 2015 and not greater than 5% of either mean or maximum severity in any season. Both minimum temperature and morning relative humidity of one and two lagged weeks had negative and positive influence respectively, on mean and maximum severity of early blight at Rajendranagar (TS), Bengaluru (KA) and Rahuri (MH), which had higher blight severity over Raipur (CG) and Ludhiana (PB). MLR indicated 22â€“56% and 21â€“61% of variability with respect to mean and maximum severity of early blight due to weather factors that varied with locations. SVR predicted early blight severity nearer to actual values over MLR in terms of goodness of fit as well as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE).

Number of studies have been conducted to assess the nutritional and health status of the anganwadi children but very less focus has been given to assess the nutritional status of anganwadi workers. AW are actually the main resource person of the ICDS program. For the better outcome of ICDS services it is expected that the anganwadi workers should have a healthy nutritional status. The present study was aimed to assess nutritional status of anganwadi workers of Palanpur taluka of Banaskantha district. For the present study two hundred anganwadi workers were selected by simple random sampling method. Personal interview technique was used for collecting data on personal and socio-economic characteristics and dietary pattern. Nutritional status of AW was determined on the basis of anthropometric measurement, clinical examination and dietary assessment. The data obtained from the study was statistically analysed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and correlation coefficient. Anthropometric indices revealed that among the whole population fifty per cent anganwadi workers of Palanpur taluka had normal nutritional status and only few workers were severely malnourished. Age of anganwadi workers showed highly significant positive correlation with nutritional status and housing condition of anganwadi workers showed significant positive correlation with nutritional status.

The present era is a 'Smart Phone Era'. The mobile phone became an inevitable gadget for everyone and also for farmers to know the latest agricultural technology. But there were many problems which hinder the maximum use of smart phone to get the scientific information of agricultural field. Keeping this in view, the present study was undertaken to identify the constraints faced by farmers in the use of smart phone for agricultural information. This study was undertaken in Porbandar district of Gujarat state. 120 farmers who had minimum three years' experience in the use of smart phone were selected from 12 randomly selected villages of Porbandar district. Results indicated that, unavailability/fluctuation of network connectivity in rural area is the major constraint in the use of smart phone. Some other important constraints were; lack of technical know-how to operate smart phone properly, language barrier i.e. majority of information is available in English not in vernacular language and the cost of smart mobile phones is high. The network service provider should give priority for strong network connectivity in rural areas, farmers should be trained to improve their smart phone use efficiency, agricultural information should be available in local/vernacular language and the government should provide smart phones at low cost to farmers were crucial suggestions given by the respondents to overcome the constraints faced by farmers in the use of smart phone for agricultural information.

Evidence of hydrothermal venting on the ultra-slow spreading Gakkel Ridge in the Central Arctic Ocean has been available since 2001, with first visual evidence of black smokers on the Aurora Vent Field obtained in 2014. But it was not until 2021 that the first ever remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives to hydrothermal vents under permanent ice cover in the Arctic were conducted, enabling the collection of vent fluids, rocks, microbes, and fauna. In this paper, we present the methods employed for deep-sea ROV operations under drifting ice. We also provide the first description of the Aurora Vent Field, which includes three actively venting black smokers and diffuse flow on the Aurora mound at ~3,888 m depth on the southern part of the Gakkel Ridge (82.5°N). The biological communities are dominated by a new species of cocculinid limpet, two small gastropods, and a melitid amphipod. The ongoing analyses of Aurora Vent Field samples will contribute to positioning the Gakkel Ridge hydrothermal vents in the global biogeographic puzzle of hydrothermal vents.
Indicators of Higher Education and the Public Good in Africa: A Dashboard Approach
Authors: Molebatsi Palesa , McCowan Tristan
Published: November 2022

Indicators and metrics have gained increasing prominence in international higher education in recent years, and global rankings have become a powerful force in shaping ideas of what the university is and should be. Yet these measures do a poor job of capturing the broad role of the institution, and particularly in recognising its actions in promoting the public good and addressing inequalities. African higher education institutions have struggled to perform well in the conventional rankings, whose indicators rely on extensive resources for high-level research. This article explores the possibilities of alternative metrics for understanding the public good contribution of universities in the context of four African countries: Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. After assessing the shortcomings of the existing indicators and metrics, and the challenges of the availability of data, it puts forward a dashboard approach as a possible new model. Dashboards have the advantage of avoiding the conflation of diverse qualities of importance and allow different profiles of an institution to be compared. The article proposes six main elements for the dashboard: solidarity with society, equitable access and deliberative space (which correspond to the intrinsic notion of public good and graduate destinations, knowledge production and community engagement (which correspond to instrumental notions). Finally, the challenges of implementing public good metrics in practice are discussed.
