Person Matters: Relative Clauses in the Acquisition of French
Authors: Bentea Anamaria , Durrleman Stephanie
Published: November 2022

Children’s comprehension difficulties with object relative clauses (ORs) seem reduced when the embedded subject is a pronoun, rather than a lexical noun. The intervention locality account explains this facilitation in terms of a mismatch in features between the head of the OR and the intervening pronominal subject, namely the N feature according to some (Friedmann et al.  2009), or finer-grained phi features according to others (Bentea & Durrleman, 2021). We evaluate the predictions of these accounts in an experimental study assessing OR comprehension in French. Fifty-two children between the ages of four and five were tested on a character-selection task investigating whether intervention effects in ORs with a lexically-restricted object are alleviated, or not, with pronominal interveners matching with the object in other features than lexical restriction. We also explored the potential impact of an intervening pronominal mismatching with the object on a feature yet unexplored in French, namely person. Results reveal low performance on ORs with pronominal interveners matching on features (number, gender, person). However, ORs with pronominal interveners mismatching only in person were comprehended significantly better. This suggests that differences in finer-grained features than N explain children’s difficulties with ORs and that person is such a feature.

Published: November 2022

Weaned male Barbari kids (24) were divided equally into three groups (T1, T2 and T3) to investigate the effect of supplementation of herbal feed additives in the complete pelleted feed on intake of nutrients, rumen fermentation, availability of nutrients and energetic efficiency under stall-fed condition during an eight months feeding trial. Treatments were T1, Concentrate mixture (40%) plus arhar (Cajanus cajan) straw (60%) in Total Mixed Ration (TMR) form fed ad lib.; T2, Concentrate mixture (40%) plus arhar straw (60%) in Complete Feed Pellets form fed ad lib.; T3, Concentrate mixture (40%) plus arhar straw (60%) in Complete Feed Pellets form supplemented with herbal mixture (four herbs; Tulsi: Haldi: Amla: Arni, ratio 1:1:1:1 on DM basis) @ 0.5% in complete feed fed ad lib. Rumen fermentation pattern was studied at 3rd and 25th weeks of experimental feeding. A metabolism trial was conducted at the last phase of the experiment. During metabolism trial, DMI (g)/kg W0.75 and CPI (g)/kg W0.75 was greater in kids under T3 and T2 than T1. Pelleted complete feed supplemented with phytogenic feed additives resulted greater total VFA (mmol/dl SRL) concentration in rumen liquor of kids under T3 than TMR fed kids (T1) at three weeks of experimental feeding. The concentration of NH3-N (mg/dl SRL) was depressed significantly in T3 at 3rd and 25th weeks of feeding; T1 showed highest values during both periods. TDN intake (g)/kg W0.75 and Digestible Energy intake (MJ)/kg W0.75 were increased significantly in T3 and T2 than T1. DCP intake (g)/kg W0.75 was also higher in T2 and T3 than T1. Similarly, N-balance (g)/kg W0.75 increased significantly in T3 and T2 than T1. Therefore, it may be concluded that densification of feeds in the form of complete pelleted feed (T2) and further supplementation (@ 0.5% in the complete feed) with herbal mixture (Amla, Haldi, Arni and Tulsi=1:1:1:1 on DM basis) (T3) increased the intakes of DM, TDN, digestible energy and protein; enhanced rumen fermentation pattern, and increased N-balance in finisher Barbari kids.

Published: November 2022

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inhabited in citrus rhizosphere playing multiple roles in plant growth, nutrient acquisition, and stress tolerance are well known under potted conditions. However, information regarding response of AMF application in field citrus trees is scarce. In this study, single inoculation of Funneliformis mosseae and mixture of Diversispora versiformis, F. mosseae, and Rhizoglomus intraradices into the rhizosphere were compared with non-inoculated (control) three-yr-old Citrus reticulata Blanco var. Ponkan cv. Jinshuigan grafted on trifoliate orange grown under open field condition. After eight months of inoculation, root mycorrhiza colonization and soil hyphal length varied respectively from 43% to 56% and from 3.66 to 5.57 cm/g soil and also 1.7-2.2 times and 13.1-19.9 times higher in AM-treated trees than non-inoculated trees. Two AMF treatments collectively increased root P, K, Cu, Zn, and Mn concentrations, sarcocarp P, Mn, and Fe concentrations, peer coloration value, and fruit diameter longitudinal axis, as well as root vitality by 36%-76%. In addition, single F. mosseae inoculation dramatically increased juice soluble solid content and sarcocarp Zn concentrations than non-AMF treatment; mixed-AMF inoculation considerably increased single fruit weight and sarcocarp K and B contents. On the whole, these beneficial effects were superior under mixed AMF treatment than under single AMF treatment. Our study, hence, suggested that mixed culture of AMF inoculation, played an important role in quality production of Pokan mandarin as a viable biofertilizer use option.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the center of all physical, chemical and biological properties of soils, its maintenance and buildup in soils is necessary to sustain the intensive cereal-based cropping system of Indo Gangetic plains. Intensive tillage, residue removal and indiscriminate use of fertilizers led to a continuous deterioration of soil health in Indo Gangetic parts of the country. Under this context, a field experiment on conservation agriculture (CA) was conducted at Taroari, Karnal, comprising four combinations of tillage and residue management [i.e. conventional tillage (CT) with complete residue removal (CT-RR), CT with 20% residue incorporation of wheat, 50% residue incorporation of maize and incorporation of green gram residue (CT+RI+GI), permanent beds (PB) with 20% residue retention of wheat and 50% residue retention of maize (PB+RR), and PB with 20% residue retention of wheat, 50% residue retention of maize and retention of green gram residue (PB+RR+GR)] and three nutrient management options [viz. farmers fertilization practice (FFP), recommended fertilizer dose (RDF) and site-specific nutrient management (SSNM)]. The results showed that, there was an increase in SOC mainly the active SOC pools, permanganate oxidizable-C (1.70 g/kg), hot water extractable-C (0.32 g/kg) and soil microbial biomass C (310 mg/kg) under CA-based treatment (PB+RR+GR) compared to CT (0.58, 0.23 g/kg, 183 mg/kg, respectively). Also, the mineral N was invariably greater under residue treatments. Therefore, crops residue retention as well as balanced fertilization (RDF and SSNM) under CA helped in improving SOC; mineral N and soil aggregation stability which can lead to increased sustainability under cereal-based intensive cropping systems.

Hygienic food consumption, household sanitation and healthcare aptitude are some of the important concerns in rural India specifically among the farming households. Hence, it should be ensured that rural masses who exert more physically must take healthy food complying with required safety and sanitation measures for higher physical efficiency in farming and household chores. Thus, in order to assess the food and nutrition consumption pattern as well as healthcare aptitude among farming households of north Indian plains, the current study was undertaken in two representative districts of north Indian plains, viz. Bhagpat (UP) and Jhajjar districts (Haryana). Under this study, a total of 50 respondents of each district were selected by multistage random sampling technique (MRST) in two states of Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Haryana. The MRST study revealed that majority of farming households emphasized upon safety food consumption practices (72–92%) and household sanitation (32–94%). However, healthy food and nutrition consumption habits (12–92%), physical access to food and nutrition facilities (24–100%) as well as access to healthcare facilities (12–96%) in their household vicinity revealed a moderate response among the farming households in the study area. A fair number of respondents found to posses ill-habits (alcoholism and smoking) which should be avoided by changing their mindset by mass awareness promotional programmes. Overall, current MRST study concluded that farming households of Haryana and Western UP follow sound safe food and nutrition consumption practices; however, the food and nutrition consumption habits, sanitation and healthcare facilities/services need greater attention of community and development agencies to ensure better food, nutrition, sanitation and healthcare among farming households of north Indian plains.
Effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles embedded NPK fertilizer on growth, yield and zinc concentration and uptake of aromatic rice (Oryza sativa)
Authors: BARAL KIRTTIRANJAN , KUMAR DINESH , SHIVAY YASHBIR SINGH
Published: November 2022

Application of ZnO nanoparticles in conjunction with NPK fertilizers helped in increasing growth parameters, enhancement in Zn concentration in rice grain and straw and also grain yield and could save a significant amount of nutrients. As highest grain yield was recorded with application of 100% NPK + 7.5 g ZnO Nps/ha which was statistically at par with 75% NPK + 7.5 g ZnO Nps/ha, hence it can be concluded that application of 75% NPK + 7.5 g ZnO Nps/ha is best as it required 25% less NPK. Likewise, ZnO nanoparticles application had a significant effect on Zn concentrations. Therefore, it can be inferred that ZnO nanoparticles application embedded with NPK fertilizer can save nutrients, increase nutrient concentration and also profit can be accrued due to less requirement of nutrients than recommended dose of fertilizers.

Published: November 2022

Kadangkala Tindak pidana pencucian uang dapat dilakukan oleh korporasi seperti Perseroan Terbatas, hal itu disebabkan karena perseroan dalam menjalankan kegiatan usahanya tidak hanya dilakukan oleh organ perseroan, tetapi juga oleh personil pengendali korporasi seperti pemegang saham yang menginginkan keuntungan besar.  Pasal 9 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang menyebutkan, apabila korporasi yang melakukan TPPU tidak dapat membayar pidana denda yang dijatuhkan kepadanya, maka negara dapat merampas aset milik korporasi maupun aset personil pengendali korporasi sebagai pengganti pidana denda, padahal ketentuan Pasal 3 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Perseroan Terbatas mengatur tentang tanggung jawab terbatas pemegang saham sebatas saham yang ia miliki. Implikasi tersebut melatarbelakangi penulisan ini. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis tentang perampasan aset pengendali korporasi sebagai pengganti pidana denda dalam tindak pidana pencucian uang. Hasil penelitian menyebutkan bahwa ketentuan Pasal 3 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Perseroan Terbatas yang mengatur tentang prinsip pertanggungjawaban terbatas menjadi hapus dengan adanya prinsip piercing the corporate veil. Prinsip tersebut menyebabkan pemegang saham dapat dimintai pertanggungjawaban berupa perampasan aset sebagai pengganti pidana denda korporasi yang melakukan TPPU. Mekanisme yang digunakan untuk merampas aset dalam kasus tindak pidana pencucian uang adalah mekanisme perampasan aset secara pidana atau In Personam.

The Specifics of Examination of Basilian Monastic Complexes as an Architectural and Spatial Phenomenon
Authors: ZNAK IVAN , ZNAK ANNA , RAKOCHYI YAROSLAV
Published: November 2022

The replication of architectural and spatial design of the Order of Saint Basil the Great monasteries in Western Ukraine cannot be addressed within a single scientific hypothesis focused on the unity of imagery, planning, and function. The architectural and spatial arrangement of the Basilian monasteries in Western Ukraine emerges as a non-homogenous fragmented phenomenon, which should be investigated with regard to chronological distinctions. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for the examination of the OSBM monastic complexes considering a variety of factors that have influenced the appearance, dissemination, growth, and disappearance of the Basilian centres. The general methodological approaches of the study are historical, morphological, culturological, and systemic. In addition, the following general scientific methods of inquiry were used: an examination of literature and documents, corpus, description, statistical method, analysis and synthesis, comparison, abstractisation, concretization, generalisation, and systematisation (classification and typology). Thus, five territorial and chronological scenarios have been highlighted within the Basilian architectural legacy in Western Ukraine. A relatively small number of papers dedicated to the design and planning aspects of the development of the Order of Saint Basil the Great monasteries are retroactive. Upon analysing the Basilian legacy in Western Ukraine, the material has been divided into three historical waves related to the development of monastic complexes. The authors of the paper have outlined the commonality of morphological features, dominant stylistics, and layout plans to examine the Order of Saint Basil the Great monasteries as an architectural and historical phenomenon. One important aspect of the subject is an interpretation of monastic complexes that factors modern conditions like the comfort of living, economic activities, organisation of mass prayers, the development of tourist infrastructure, etc. Therefore, a study of similar theoretical approaches to the functioning and interpretation of monastic complexes helped to outline three types of their interpretation in the modern context
Cultural Diffusion in the Architecture of the Ancient World (on the Example of the Cult of Isis in the 3rd Century BC – 2nd Century AD)
Authors: LINDA SVITLANA
Published: November 2022

The practice of borrowing and mixing architectural forms and meanings from different cultural environments dates back to the architecture of the ancient world and is still relevant today. Therefore, discovering its origins, mechanisms and causes of development is an important subject in the theory and history of architecture. The purpose of the study is to introduce the concept of cultural diffusion, as a methodological technique for mixing architectural forms from different artistic environments, which contributes to the development of qualitatively new solutions that form new architectural styles and synthesise new meanings. It is also vital to substantiate the phenomena of cultural diffusion as the first and necessary stage of subsequent processes of development of architectural meaning and shape – the stage of conscious and reasonable choice of an architectural prototype for a new design. The main material for the study is objects related to the cult of Isis – one of the most common religious cults in the architecture of the ancient world, which belonged to the Greco-Roman civilisation. In terms of methodology, the study is based on the analysis and systematisation of papers on architectural objects associated with the cult of Isis, and the results of visual observations (description and comparative analysis). Using the example of architectural objects associated with the cult of Isis, the study demonstrates that in the architecture of the ancient world, various methodological approaches were developed in architectural form-making: both autonomous processes in different cultures and mixed, which involved the capabilities and means of various cultural environments, opening unlimited prospects for the development of architectural form and meaning. Scientific originality is the interpretation of the process of cultural diffusion as an important methodological prerequisite for a new architectural form and meaning development. This determines the practical importance of the study, since the phenomenon of cultural diffusion, as a methodological technique for the architect's work, is still relevant today
Pushing Critical Thought: Sampling Politics Today
Authors: Liechti Hannes
Published: November 2022

As a practice performed by human beings, music is connected to politics in manifold ways. One way of bringing the political into music is the technique of sampling. With this method, music producers take sound snippets from external sources and incorporate them into new musical compositions. In this first issue of the Norient Sound Series, we examine how political contexts of our time are transformed into musical production. Among many further accounts, we follow the sampling of car horns in Indonesia, read about an Italian refugee project that uses smartphones as sampling resources, and reflect on ethical questions such as: Can one sample sounds of war? With case studies from all around the world, this Norient Special approaches sampling as a tool for critical thought and a way of alternative storytelling.
Sound Collage as Political Chronic
Authors: Lima Henrique Souza
Published: November 2022

The song «Apesar de Você» («In Spite of You») by Brazilian musician and writer Chico Buarque is one of the most iconic protest songs published in the context of the Brazilian military dictatorship (1964–1985). Here, sound researcher Henrique Souza Lima presents a sound collage made from clippings of the word «despite» in various instances of Brazilian pop music. In doing so, Souza Lima establishes an intertextual relationship with the renowned song and approaches popular song in general as a platform for critical thinking on the current information war and the ghostly return of ultra-conservatism in Brazil.

When, in 2015, artist, writer and music producer Vika Kirchenbauer started developing a body of work based on sampling the choral tradition of Sacred Harp, her initial interest was of a historical nature: to research and critique the role of music within projects of colonization. Soon, however, the producer came to understand that practices such as «sampling as critique» are invariably marked by contradictory attachments to their sources and therefore require a more complex analysis.

Disaster Labs: How American States Use Partnerships to Manage the Unthinkable
Authors: Givens Austen D.
Published: November 2022

Disaster Labs explores how state governments partner with businesses and nonprofits to manage large-scale emergencies in California, Florida, New York, and Virginia. For these disaster- management collaborations to continue, state governments, businesses, and nonprofits must plan now for their future. These collaborations also need the freedom to shape their partnerships in each of their unique state environments. Each state has distinct attributes that make state-level partnerships attractive. These range from differing types of disasters, political environments, nonprofit sectors, and commercial entities. Without undue federal interference, these state-level, public- private partnerships work best to achieve results and provide relief to disaster-prone areas.

Published: November 2022

Many indigenous plants are rich in secondary metabolites with fungicidal activity. Based on literature and focus group discussions (FGDs), seven species of indigenous plants as potential sources of fungicide were collected in several places in Mindanao Island and tested for phytochemicals. Among the seven species, Tasmannia piperita (Hook.f.) Miers showed the highest amount of phenolic and flavonoid content and was chosen for further studies. Consistency of the extraction, active ingredient characterization, thermostability, and photostability of T piperita leaf methanolic extract (TPLME) was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) while secondary metabolites profiling was conducted using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS). Molecular docking studies and in silico absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion analysis (ADME) were carried out for the identified compounds. HPLC trace of fresh methanolic extract shows consistency of extraction from batch to batch while that of the 12-mo-old methanolic extract indicates real-time stability. Results from thermo- and photo-stability indicate stability for at least one year at room temperature. Secondary metabolite profiles indicate the presence of flavonoids, glycosylated flavonoids, polyphenols, sesquiterpene lactones, glycerides, phosphocholines, and pigments. Molecular docking study of these compounds against Arg-X-Leu-Arg (RXLR) effector proteins of the fungal phytopathogen Phytophthora infestans (PDB ID: 2NAR, 3ZRG, and 5L7S) showed 3-genistein-8-C-glucoside (7) and rhoifolin (8) with the highest docking score against 2NAR while cyranoside (6), trihydroxyisoflavone (10), and apigenin-7-O-glucuronide (12) have the highest docking score against 3ZRG. Rhoifolin (8) also showed the highest docking score against 5L7S, supporting the high activity of these T piperita methanolic extract against P infestans In silico ADME analysis revealed drug-likeness of the identified compounds based on Lipinski’s rule of five. All these results provide a scientific basis for the use of the methanolic extract in the development of a natural fungicide from the indigenous plant T piperita

Authors: Almosawy Hyder J. , Mega Joseph V. , Greenberg Paul B. , Messina Claire , Hunter Amanda M.
Published: November 2022

Retinal arterial macroaneurysms (RAMs) are acquired, focal dilatations of retinal arterioles. They result from progressive thinning and a decrease in elasticity of the retinal arteriole wall due to cardiovascular disease and can be either fusiform or saccular in shape. Retinal arterial macroaneurysms are most commonly seen in elderly females. Although most RAMs spontaneously involute, they can lead to vision-threatening complications such as vitreous hemorrhage and macular edema. This paper reviews the etiology, characteristics and management of RAMs.

Hydro/Hygrothermal Behavior of Plant Fibers and Its Influence on Bio-Composite Properties
Authors: Mustapha Nouri , Mahfoud Tahlaiti
Published: November 2022

Plant fibers have been shown to be highly sensitive to water molecules; this impacts the functionality of composites reinforced with these fibers, commonly known as bio-composites. This review aims to provide a comprehensive description of the behavior of plant fibers in the presence of water molecules in a liquid or gaseous state, as well as the different phenomena and mechanisms involved at the fiber scale and at the bio-composite scale via recent studies in this field. First, we will discuss the physical problem of sorption in polymers in a general way, and then we will focus on the case of plant fibers. Particular attention will be given to the adsorption kinetics of plant fibers and the models used to determine their diffusion parameters. In a second step, the effect of the incorporation of plant fibers in polymer matrices will be examined as well as the different factors influencing the diffusive behavior of bio-composites. In addition, the effect of hydro/hygrothermal aging on the mechanical properties of bio-composites will be discussed.
Cultivation and Conservation of African Medicinal Plants for Pharmaceutical Research and Socio-Economic Development
Authors: Mshelia Halilu Emmanuel
Published: November 2022

Medicinal plants are a huge reservoir of therapeutic agents for the treatment of human and other animals’ diseases. This paper highlights the potential of African medicinal plants for pharmaceutical research and socio-economic development. The paper also provides an insight on the role of medicinal plants in boosting the economy of African countries. Furthermore, the need for the government and private individuals to invest in the cultivation and conservation of medicinal plants has been discussed. Most importantly, the need to encourage collaboration among African countries towards pharmaceutical research into medicinal plants with the view of developing new drugs for the present and future pandemics have been stated. Therefore, the deliberate research into African medicinal plants may be the saving grace of the African continent against dreaded diseases, for cures yet to be discovered lie mainly in the medicinal plants.
Rapid Qualitative and Quantitative HPLC/MS Analysis of an Antioxidant Couple Consisted of Glutathione and Ascorbic Acid in a Pharmaceutical Product
Authors: V. Yefimov Stanislav
Published: November 2022

Vitamin C and glutathione are mostly found together in pharmaceutical products. These two components protect each other from oxidation by forming an antioxidant couple and mutually reinforcing each other’s actions. This paper describes a method for determining the activity of the antioxidant couple in pharmaceutical products using HPLC/MS. An Agilent 6125 HPLC equipped with MSD and DAD detectors was used. The first detector is for the detection of glutathione, and the second is for the detection of ascorbic acid. The MS spectrum of glutathione (Glut) was dominated by the signal m / z + = 308.2, which corresponds to the Glut-H + cation. The MS spectrum of ascorbic acid (AA) was dominated by signals m/z + = 177 and 375, which corresponds to the cations AK-H + and 2AK-Na +. The use of HPLC with two detectors (MS and DAD) made it possible to simultaneously determine both components of the antioxidant couple in pharmaceutical products without derivatization and any preliminary sample preparation. The method meets the FDA criteria for accuracy, selectivity, robustness, and reproducibility, and has a low detection limit of both components of the antioxidant couple.

Authors: Suárez Álvarez Gerardo , de Jesús Romero López Teresita
Published: November 2022

This report presented all the referring information about the organic culture of microalgae Dunaliella salina, Teodorescu, 1905, produced in organic effluents of Cuban Fishing Industry, and in a synthetic organic medium (MIP-1) and in control (Johnson medium). Here were studied the possibilities possessed by its algae as high-added value, in food industry and pharmaceutical products. A comparative study is offered on 69 bullfights (57 at laboratory scale and 8 in pilot plant), with different combinations and offered an economic valuation on the production of the algal bulk in form of paste in a pilot plant and to industrial scale as well as some possibilities for its use. This report suggest that the culture medium MIP-1 resulted advantageous, which is capable of achieving algae concentrations about 500,000 to 870,000 cell/mL during 15 days of be inoculated, represented a yield between 1,7 and 2,2 g/L on the dry weight base. According to the result data from the culture of this microalgae, to produce 1 kg of wet bulk was calculated a cost that fluctuates between $6.40 and 6.50, where the culture means in the case of the MIP-1 alone represents $0.09/m3 of culture medium.
Microalgae: An Exquisite Oil Producer
Authors: Bhattacharya Ishita
Published: November 2022

With the influx in population and shortage of conventional energy-sources, an exponential-rise of the microalgal oil-production has been observed in the past two decades. The algal bio-oil is used in various industries viz. food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and biodiesel plants. The present study is focused towards the production of oil from oleaginous microalgae in photo-bioreactors and open water systems. Moreover, microalgae can thrive in non-cultivable waters like seawater, salt water and even wastewater which make the algal technology more attractive in terms of soil and water preservation. Using sunlight and nutrients like salts of magnesium, potassium, sodium etc. the autotrophic microalgae can grow in large quantities in indoor photo-bioreactors and in open ponds. Microalgae are able to produce approximately 10,000 gallons of oil per acre as compared to the higher plants that produces only 50 gallons per acre (soy), 110 to 145 gallons per acre (rapeseed), 175 gallons per acre (Jatropha), 650 gallons per acre (palm). The biomass productivity is 10 times higher than that of the phytoplanktons and 20–30% higher than that of the terrestrial biomass. In terms of the fatty acid composition, the microalgal oil can well match with the plant-derived oil, mainly C16 and C18 fatty acids. Some microalgae are also rich in valuable polyunsaturated-fatty-acids, which have multiple health benefits.
Integrating Analogy into Scientific Modeling for Students’ Active Learning in Chemistry Education
Authors: Xue Song , Sun Danner
Published: November 2022

Although active learning places more responsibility and emphasizes the learners themselves, as compared to the traditional learning approach, teaching guidance is still essential in the active learning environment. In most chemistry classes, students are provided with limited opportunities to explore the atomic structures at the sub-microscopic level or participate in learning activities. To address these issues, an effective teaching approach enabling students’ active learning called “Analogy integrated Scientific Modeling” (AiSM) has been proposed with the aim of facilitating students’ learning of abstract chemistry concepts. This chapter introduces how AiSM approach is integrated into chemistry class and promotes students to understand the atomic structure. The chapter starts with a theoretical background, which consists of analogy in teaching the atomic structure, the scientific modeling, and the AiSM approach. Subsequently, two lesson exemplars illustrate how the analogy and the scientific modeling can get integrated into a chemistry class. Last, the initial results of a pilot study are discussed to demonstrate the effects and benefits of the AiSM approach on promoting students’ active learning in chemistry classes.

Authors: Adesanya Adetayo , Adesanya Victor
Published: November 2022

The unique diversity of microbes makes them ideal for biotechnological purposes. In this present study, 16 actinobacterial isolates were screened on media supplemented with Bisphenol A (BPA). Three out of 16 isolates exhibited high biocapacity to degrade BPA as a carbon source. Four different mixed actinobacterial consortia were developed using the above strains and the effect of each consortium on biomass growth; laccase production and BPA degradation were examined. At 100-mg/L BPA concentration, the three-member consortium grew well with maximum laccase activity as well as maximal degradation rate of Bisphenol A than the other two-member consortium. The consortium of Actinomyces naeslundii, Actinomyces bovis, and Actinomyces israelii degraded 93.1% with maximum laccase activity of 15.9 U/mL, followed by A. naeslundii and A. israelii with 87.3% and 9.5 U/mL. This was followed by A. naeslundi and A. bovis with 80.4% and 8.7 U/mL, while A. bovis and A. israelii degraded 76.0% with laccase activity of 7.0. The gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis of biodegraded BPA showed the presence of oxalic acid and new products like 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene and 2,9-dimethyldecane.
