Authors: Corrales Serrano Mario , Sánchez Martín Jesús , Moreno Losada José , Zamora Polo Francisco
Published: July 2024

Introducción: El Bachillerato es una etapa fundamental en la toma de decisiones académicas de los y las estudiantes de Educación Secundaria para elegir una modalidad de estudios. Estas decisiones marcan el futuro académico y profesional. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las motivaciones internas y externas del alumnado de Bachillerato en su elección de modalidad, según dos variables: género y rendimiento académico.
Método: Para realizar este estudio exploratorio, se ha trabajado con una muestra de 233 estudiantes, aplicando un cuestionario cuantitativo elaborado ad hoc, basado en otro ya existente.
Resultados: Las pruebas aplicadas muestran significatividad estadística para las motivaciones externas, de modo que se puede afirmar que el alumnado puntúa significativamente más alto en las motivaciones externas, con matices, en las dos modalidades de estudio analizadas. No se aprecian diferencias significativas en relación con el género. Para el rendimiento académico, aunque tampoco se aprecian diferencias significativas, se observa una tendencia en el alumnado de humanidades y ciencias sociales de rendimiento académico alto para puntuar más altas las motivaciones internas.
Conclusiones: La discusión de resultados muestra la originalidad de este trabajo, ya que, la mayoría de estudio se centran en las diferencias de género o rendimiento académico, sin analizar el tipo de motivaciones influyente.

Authors: Nolasco Hernandez Alberto , Gracia Sánchez Laura , Carretero Bermejo Raúl , Domingo Cebrián Virginia
Published: July 2024

Introducción: esta investigación surge de un proyecto avalado por la Fundación Universitaria Antonio Gargallo. El objetivo se orientó a conocer las creencias sexista presentes en el alumnado de los Institutos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y sus familias.
Método: La muestra está formada por un total de 159 personas, entre las que se encuentran 53 alumnos/as de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, 53 padres y 53 madres. Los instrumentos empleados para evaluar el sexismo en los padres y madres ha sido el Inventario de Sexismo Ambivalente y en el alumnado el Inventario de Sexismo Ambivalente de adolescentes.
Resultados: revelan un bajo nivel de sexismo, sexismo hostil y sexismo benévolo en todos los participantes. Se observa que existe correlación significativa entre el sexismo, sexismo hostil y sexismo benévolo de los alumnos y de las madres. Asimismo, se ha identificado correlación significativa entre el sexismo y el sexismo benévolo de las madres y de las alumnas. No se observa correlación significativa entre las variables del alumnado y las de sus padres.
Conclusiones: es importante destacar que los estereotipos de género y las creencias sexistas siguen presentes en las familias, aunque en los niveles bajos de sus dimensiones. Siguen transmitiéndose de generación en generación lo que indica que, a pesar de los avances en materia de igualdad, predominan los aprendizajes que se aprenden en el hogar con la madre como un importante factor que promueve dichas creencias.
ESL TEACHERS’ BELIEFS ABOUT ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING IN THE BOLE DISTRICT OF THE SAVANNA REGION OF GHANA
Authors: Owusu Sefa
Published: July 2024

Assessment for learning or formative assessment is a process of gathering and analysing information about what learners know and can do and using that information to make instructional decisions. The role of assessment for learning, especially in an ESL classroom cannot be overemphasized. Among other things, formative assessments can go a long way in helping learners to set learning goals and prepare well for summative assessments. Regrettably, many teachers are unable to implement assessments for learning in their ESL classrooms. This study examined what the ESL teachers at Bole District of the Savanna Region of Ghana think about the assessment for learning, how they implement it, and the challenges they face in implementing it. The study adopted the mixed methods approach and the convergent parallel design. Census sampling was used to select all the 82 ESL teachers in the Bole District. The findings showed that ESL teachers had positive beliefs about assessment for learning practices. However, they did not implement it in their classrooms due to challenges such as inadequate time on timetables, large class sizes, lack of resources, limited access to technology, and overloaded English curriculum. It is recommended that school heads should make every endeavour to provide adequate time on timetables and they should also provide the ESL teachers with the needed assessment for learning resources for effective teaching and learning.
Design-based approach to technology innovation: Teacher educators’ experiences with tablets as instructional tools in South Africa
Authors: Jita Thuthukile , Dhliwayo Alice
Published: July 2024

The role of higher education in improving educational practices and access through research in technology innovations across the wider spectrum of schooling has especially increased in the information driven 21st century lifestyle. Pre-service teacher training plays a significant role in this transformation. For South Africa, research in technology integration has not provided requisite skills for teacher educators to bring about this envisaged transformation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the affordance of the design-based research (DBR) when combined with community of practice (CoP) framework in mitigating context-based technology integration related challenges and professional development in teacher education through the social learning theory. The qualitative paper explores the experiences teacher educators had of using tablets in a DBR as technology integration tools for contextual pedagogical practices. Teacher educators (n = 10), in one university in South Africa were given tablets to use over a year before they responded to semi-structured interviews about their experiences and were also observed as they engaged in both the CoP and in classroom practice. After a thematic analysis, the main results were that the CoP provided space for teacher educators to improve their confidence and technology integration skills. The combination of DBR and the CoP was found to be complementary in bridging the gap between theory and practice for teacher educators. The CoP provided the much needed safe space for professional growth and confidence building for teacher educators. However, learning engagements were limited by inadequacy of ICT tools for the students. In light of this, the implication of the study is that professional development plans for teacher educators in technology integration skills must be context based and subject specific through DBR programs for practical results and sustainability.

Authors: Parada Ulloa Marcos , Bozo Marambio Jorge , Vega Gutiérrez Óscar
Published: July 2024

En 1700 se fundó el Real Colegio de Naturales en Chillán por Real Cédula de 1697, siendo regentado por los jesuitas. Esta institución se estableció con el objetivo de educar a los hijos de caciques y fue una iniciativa clave en el proceso de evangelización regional. Los jesuitas comprendieron que su misión no se limitaba solo a la fundación de colegios y la impartición de clases, sino que también implicaba adaptarse a las necesidades de las comunidades indígenas. Esto incluyó predicar en legua indígena y enriquecer lingüísticamente sus catecismos con el fin de facilitar la comprensión y la asimilación de los valores cristianos. La creación del colegio fue resultado de los esfuerzos conjuntos de la Corona y de la Iglesia Católica.

Authors: Kushnir Andrei , Shkodinsky Sergey , Dianova Taisia , Prodchenko Igor , Artamonova Kira
Published: July 2024

The authors consider the latest period in Russian history associated with pandemic restrictions on cross-border mobility. The article claims that the closure of borders was easier and faster than their subsequent partial opening. The study puts forward the hypothesis that the regulation of cross-border passenger flows was influenced by the principles of sanitary security, geographical proximity, reciprocity in measures taken, limited capacity of the state budget to provide economic support for transport enterprises and information coverage of pandemic events.
The American Dream, the Dream of America
Authors: Alwan Hassan Albulanee Res. , Saad Haider Luaibi Rese.
Published: July 2024

The American Dream has long been a symbol of hope and opportunity for individuals seeking a better life in the United States. This dream encompasses the belief that anyone, regardless of their background or social status, can achieve success and prosperity through hard work and determination. It is a driving force behind the founding principles of the nation and has inspired generations of immigrants and citizens alike. Through The Dream of America anyone can achieve their goals and create a better future for themselves and their loved ones.
Throughout history, the American Dream has been a central theme in literature, art, and popular culture. It has been depicted as the ultimate goal to strive for, the beacon of hope in times of hardship, and the driving force behind countless success stories. The Dream of America has been a source of inspiration for millions of people around the world, who see the United States as a land of opportunity and a place where dreams can become reality.
However, the American Dream is not without its critics. Many argue that it is an unattainable ideal that perpetuates inequality and social division. They point to the disparities in wealth, education, and opportunity that exist in American society and argue that the Dream of America is nothing more than a myth designed to keep people striving for an unattainable goal.
Investigating Retrieval Strategies in an Associative Recognition Test in Working Memory: Evidence from Eye Movements
Authors: Bhanap Ruhi , Oberauer Klaus , Rosner Agnes
Published: July 2024

The study examines the retrieval strategies that people engage in during associative recognition in working memory. To this end, we employ eye movements as a tool to track the underlying retrieval processes. Previous work has shown that during retrieval people tend to look back at empty spatial locations where the information was presented at encoding, known as the looking at nothing (LAN) effect. Thus, reflecting which memorandum has been retrieved. In a series of four experiments, we presented participants with four-word pairs at four different locations at encoding. During an immediate retrieval test, they heard two words and were asked to indicate if these two words belonged to the same word pair (positive probe) or not (lure probe). We hypothesized that LAN observed during lure probes will be diagnostic in informing which strategy participants engage in. On the one hand, participants can retrieve a word pair associated with one of the probe words through a pairwise binding. On the other hand, they can retrieve both word pairs based on a parallel comparison to the integrated representation of all the word pairs to perform the task. All experiments provided evidence in favor of a retrieval strategy where they retrieved only one of the word pairs. Additionally, we implemented a measurement model for the timeline of LAN. The onset of the effect is dependent on the inter word interval at retrieval as well as the size and distance between the locations.

Rule of law backsliding during the pandemic - the cases of Hungary and Poland
Authors: Burek Wojciech , Hornok Rita , Styczyńska Natasza
Published: July 2024

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Hungary and Poland served as a flagship example of democratic backsliding. The pandemic became a generator of an accelerated retreat from liberal democracy, although this retreat began long before the virus threat occurred. The report focuses on two emblematic issues - restrictions on access to information in Hungary and the organisation of the presidential elections in Poland. Both examples have a common denominator, which is the politicisation of the decision (not) to introduce a state of emergency and lack of respect for state institutions, as well as the lack of response to critical voices coming from both the country and international institutions (EU institutions, Council of Europe, UN). (Non-)introduction of the state of emergency was driven by the political interest of the ruling parties and led to further dismantling of the rule of law and intensified erosion of democracy. The cases investigated, however, demonstrate that the success of illiberal policies depends on how much the liberal democratic system was weakened before the COVID-19 pandemic. The independence of at least part of the institutions, functioning civil society, independent media, and the pressure of transnational organisations can influence the speed and scope of illiberal reforms even in times of emergency.

It can be concluded that behavior modification principles, specifically using shaping techniques, can help to improve on-task behavior duration in children with Borderline Intellectual Functioning.
Unveiling the Lived Experiences of Western Indonesian Students in Javan Higher Education Institutions: A Phenomenological Exploration
Authors: Jatmikowati Sri Hartini
Published: July 2024

This qualitative research embarks on an exploratory journey into the lived experiences of a specific group of students—young minds from western Indonesia who are embarking on an academic journey in the dynamic ecosystem of higher education institutions in Java. In the literature synthesis, it is clear that while the experiences of international students have been studied extensively, the experiences of certain subgroups within a country remain relatively unexplored. This phenomenological exploration of the life experiences of West Indonesian students in Javanese institutions not only enriches academic discourse but also informs practical strategies for enhancing the educational journey of these students. The study identified several major challenges faced by these students, including language barriers, misunderstanding of culture and social norms, variations in academic expectations, adaptation to local cuisine, and the formation of social networks. While these challenges were formidable, the narratives of these students also reveal their resilience and capacity for personal growth. These findings offer valuable insights that go beyond academia. Recommendations include establishing a standardized and accessible cultural orientation program, fostering a network of peer support, and recognizing the need for academic guidance tailored to the unique challenges facing Western Indonesian students. This research not only contributes to a deeper understanding of cross-cultural adaptation and personal growth but also has practical implications for policymakers and educational institutions.
Unveiling the Digital Underworld – Exploring Cyberbanging and Recruitment of Canadian Street Gang Members on Social Media
Authors: Campisi Francesco C.
Published: July 2024

This study explores the online behavior of Canadian street gang members on X (formerly known as “Twitter”), Facebook, and YouTube. As scholarly Western inquiries have predominantly focused on American and British street gangs, their presentation of online recruitment often differs. Law enforcement and journalists claim that street gangs have begun using social media platforms explicitly to search for and recruit new members. Certain scholarly publications have also suggested that a small minority of street gangs utilize social media to recruit new participants; however, they do not provide ample context to describe what this looks like online. Others argue that while cyberbanging – online gang content and propaganda – can be found online, some of this content can act as indirect recruitment, as it promotes gang lifestyles to the outside observer. To examine the use of cyberbanging and the indirect recruitment it inspires, the present study examines 59 social media user profiles linked to Canadian street gang members (23 Twitter users and 36 Facebook users), along with 10 YouTube rap videos produced by street gang members, to assess the online behavior of these particular social media users. The results suggest that the most prominent type of cyberbanging content is the promotion of gang ideologies, with a clear presence of indirect recruitment techniques observed, such as displaying drugs, weapons, money, and illegal gains, boasting of facets of gang lifestyles, and other propaganda. This content, while considered cyberbanging, blurs the line between content defined as cyberbanging and that of online recruitment.
Ashtam Ntotacinan/Come Listen to Us: Theatricalization of Life Stories for the Holistic Wellness of Indigenous Women Students
Authors: Blanchet Patricia-Anne
Published: July 2024

In Quebec, Indigenous cultural resurgence is expressed through all areas of creation, including theatre, which allows the expression of concerns related to identity reaffirmation and cultural reappropriation. In this movement, Indigenous women are particularly present in public space through art. As a path of resistance and resilience, artistic culture is an important factor of wellness for First Peoples. Anchored in a decolonial epistemology, this theatre-based research involves the implementation of a collective creation approach with Indigenous female college students. It questions the benefits of the theatricalization of life stories on learning related to the dimensions of holistic wellness. Faced with systemic obstacles resulting from colonization, Indigenous students follow atypical schooling trajectories, hence the importance of supporting them with culturally safe approaches based on traditional knowledge. Combining the fields of Indigenous education and theatre education, it is hoped that through this project, the narrative sovereignty of Indigenous women is strengthened and recommendations for the realization of culturally safe artistic educational projects with Indigenous youth and adults are provided.
Manipulating Time as Abolition Dramaturgy
Authors: Horner Mariah (Mo)
Published: July 2024

This article considers theatrical manipulations of time as an abolition dramaturgy, or a theatrical technique that participates in the world-building project of abolition. First grappling with carceral and neoliberal notions of time, this article considers the ways that time is wielded as a weapon in dealing with conflict, resulting in what Ruth Wilson Gilmore refers to as a “premature death” of those deemed disposable within racial and carceral capitalism. Following this investigation of time as a decompositional tool, this article analyzes The Circle Project’s What Fools These Mortals Be, a filmed tableau vivant that contrasts the carceral weaponization of time with abolitionist dramaturgical generation, syncopation, and restart.

Morphological characterization of shallot (Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum) segregating populations obtained from natural-outcrossing in Ethiopial-outcrossing in Ethiopia
Authors: Tabor G. , Mengistu F. G. , Atinafu G.
Published: July 2024

Shallot is a vegetable and condiment crop widely used in Ethiopia and globally. However, absence of improved and adaptable varieties has been the major cause of low productivity. Narrow genetic base of local shallot germplasm owing to vegetative reproduction of the crop, among others, has been the root cause of low productivity. Nevertheless, some plants within the germplasm were observed bolting and producing viable seeds, presenting an opportunity for genetic diversification. Consequently, a germplasm enhancement program was initiated using these naturally outcrossing genotypes where about eighty-one genotypes were generated. The present study was thus undertaken with the objective of characterizing, classifying, and selecting the eighty-one genotypes for future breeding activities. The genotypes were planted in 9x9 simple lattice design with two replications at Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center (Ethiopia) during the dry (irrigated) season of 2021. The genotypes were evaluated for fifteen growth, yield, and quality traits. Significant variations were observed among the genotypes in terms of bulb yield, bulb height and diameter, total soluble solids, bolting percentage, and bulb skin color. Bulb yield of the genotypes ranged from 31.33 t/ha in DZSHT-79-1A to 9.63 t//ha in DZSHT-45-1A-1. DZSHT-51-2 (207.93 g) was the highest yielder per plant whereas DZSHT-065-6/90 (74.51 g) was the lowest yielder. DZSHT-14-2-1/90 had the thickest bulb (44.69 mm) significantly thicker than twenty two genotypes which had bulb diameter ranging from 28.92 mm to 20.29 mm. DZSHT-81-1/90 was a genotype with the longest bulb height (52.33 mm) while DZSHT-147-1C was a genotype with the shortest bulb (33.12 mm). DZSHT-307-1/90 had the highest TSS (16.78°Brix) significantly differing from DZSHT-002/07 which had the lowest TSS (11.17 °Brix). Dry matter of the genotypes ranged from 12.00% to 22.79%. DZSHT-004/07, DZSHT-111-2-1, DZSHT-41-2B and DZSHT-72-2 had DM% greater than 20% which coupled with greater than 14 °Brix could make them suitable for dehydrated shallots. Among the 81 genotypes characterized 4 (4.9%), 7 (8.6%), 13 (16.1%), 28 (34.6%) and 29 (35.8%) were yellow, golden, light red, red and dark red in colour, respectively.  Fifteen of the genotypes had at least 50% bolting plants whereas twenty nine of the genotypes had less than 25% bolting. The results revealed that seven principal components explained approximately 76% of the observed variation. Cluster analysis grouped the genotypes into seven clusters, with the majority falling into three clusters. The study successfully identified genotypes with diverse and important traits and availed both the genotypes and the information for future breeding programs. These genotypes could be used for the development of improved hybrid and open pollinated shallot varieties with higher yield, quality and pest resistance/tolerance attributes.

Published: July 2024

A randomized complete block design experiment was undertaken at the field laboratory of the Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna, from November 2021 to March 2022 to ascertain the impact of various mulch treatments on zero tillage potato cultivation. The experiment employed BARI Alu 78 as the planting material and utilized three replications with five distinct mulch treatments. These mulch treatments were identified as follows: Straw mulch (T1), Mulch film (T2), Black polythene (T3), White polythene (T4), and Blue polythene (T5). The metrics that were recorded included the number of sprouts, plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf width, leaf length, number of tubers, tuber length, tuber breadth, number of defective tubers, weight of defective tubers, and tuber weight. Different mulching techniques significantly influenced the overall crop yield and the underlying factors that influenced the results. The mulch film treatment resulted in the highest yield, with a production of 34.76 tons per hectare, followed by black polythene (28.11 tons per hectare), straw mulch (23.74 tons per hectare), white polythene (20.44 tons per hectare), and blue polythene (18.66 tons per hectare). The economic analysis revealed that mulch film had a high benefit cost ratio along with high input and output. Black polythene came in second place when the benefit cost ratio was compared to that of mulch film and the rest of the three treatments. Combining zero tillage with mulch film or black polythene demonstrates significant potential for becoming a cost-effective practice in the coastal region of Bangladesh.

Introductıon. The main idea of Montessori Pedagogy and Montessori Therapy based on it is to contribute to the development of the child by accepting them with their own personality and providing special 'sensory development tools' and activities suitable for the child’s ‘structure plan’. Purpose. This study will focus on the therapeutic use of the Montessori method in infants and young children with special needs. Also, it is aimed to explain Montessori Therapy and its usage in the education of children with special needs in-depth and to evaluate the perspectives of parents of children with special needs on Montessori Therapy.Method. The research is a descriptive study and includes compiling information on Montessori therapy and the results of interviews conducted with the families of five children with special needs. The research data consists of a literature review and family interviews. Results. As a result of the research, parents of children with special needs stated that alternative preschool education (Montessori education) approaches for their children could be effective in helping children acquire basic life skills.Conclusion. Montessori principles such as individualized learning, manipulative materials, freedom and discipline, natural environment, and continuous observation can help maximize the potential of these children. However, every child is unique, and the therapy may need to be constantly adapted to be effective. Therefore, practitioners of Montessori therapy should carefully observe and assess the needs of the children, and continuously update themselves with current research and best practices.

The purpose of the article is to determine the main emphasis of the relationship between the plane of international economic security and the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. The research methodology includes a descriptive analysis of the provisions of the main international documents relevant, firstly, to the topic of international economic security and, secondly, to the concept of sustainable development; as well as elements of comparative analysis – while searching for the safe content of the SDGs 2030. The study results were obtained regarding the expediency of activating security issues, primarily within the framework of the implementation of the following Sustainable Development Goals 2030: Goal 1 “No poverty”, Goal 2 “Zero hunger”, Goal 8 “Decent work and economic growth”, Goal 10 “Reduction of inequality”, Goal 16 “Peace, justice and strong institutions”. The determined emphasis of strengthening the sustainability of international economic security will serve as guidelines for the priority direction of resources in the conditions of the war and the crises and disasters caused by it. The implementation of the processes aimed at the implementation of the SDGs directly depends on the general state of the economy in the country and the world, and, accordingly, on the situation with national and international economic security. In the conditions of the Russian war against Ukraine, economic security issues are considered as part of the national security system and in the context of interrelationships with environmental and other types of security, which are consistent with the SDGs. The scientific novelty is as follows: in the study of further development, a conceptual approach has been adopted regarding the establishment of accents in the plane of intersection of the directions of international economic security and the SDGs, which, unlike others, take into account the content of the elements of the system of international economic security, as well as its impact on the system of national economic security. The practical significance is that the obtained research results can be used in the conceptual justification of investment projects aimed at supporting the implementation of the SDGs related to security issues.

The study is devoted to the generalization of experience and the development of scientifically based applied recommendations for managing the development of state joint-stock companies. Abstract-logical, systemic-structural and comparative analysis, grouping, statistical-economic, systematization and generalization methods were used for the research. Retrospective analysis made it possible to establish that in Ukraine, the joint-stock form of management was developed with the adoption of a legislative framework, which was developed using experience and information on legal foundations in economically developed countries. The grouping of signs regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the management joint-stock form was carried out, and the most significant ones were determined. A comparison of corporate governance outsider and insider models as the most frequently used in the countries of the world is made. Characterization of these models’ elements made it possible to establish significant discrepancies. The Ukrainian model of corporate governance uses elements of outsider and insider models, which reflects its specificity, including in the legislative framework. The provisions of the Ukraine new Law «On Joint-Stock Companies», effective from 01.01.2023, required changes to bring the management of corporations closer to international norms, which was implemented in the newest legislative framework from 03.05.2024. With the use of official statistical data, the dynamics of the decrease in the number of state-owned enterprises, their structure according to organizational and legal forms, and insignificant financial results of activity have been established. The rating of state corporations by the size of the share capital showed that the largest joint stock companies belong to the energy sector, as well as transport and communication. Of the TOP-5 state corporations, only three enterprises pay dividends according to the established norm, but all entities have mostly low-level financial indicators. It is proposed to increase the efficiency of management and results of state corporations on the basis of taking into account detailed external and internal factors of the precrisis state, as well as the introduction of an anti-crisis management mechanism, the components of which differ depending on the state of the economy. In particular, the developed external and internal factors are recommended to be used in the period of a stable state of the economy, in the period of the pre-crisis state - measures for the recovery or restructuring of joint-stock companies, and in the conditions of a crisis state - an anti-crisis strateg

In this study, the effects of the cooking methods (frying, stir-frying, air-frying, boiling, steaming, baking and sous-vide, and microwaving) on total phenolic content (TPC) and sensory profile of cauliflower have been investigated. Higher cooking temperatures have resulted in higher TPC values, which can be attributed to the generation of new phenolics by the Maillard reaction and cleavage of bound phenolics. The highest TPC and bitterness were obtained when steaming and baking (180°C for 20 min) were applied. While the boiling procedure results in low bitterness and sweetness due to the loss of related compounds in boiling water, the taste of cooked cauliflower was higher when steamed (12 min) and stir-fried (4.5 min). Overall acceptability of the boiled, steamed, and fried samples was higher than in baked and sous-vide treated samples. Steaming was determined as the best technique regarding TPC content and sensory properties.
Investigating the aflatoxin M1 level in butter samples collected from markets in winter and spring
Authors: Dönmez Damla , Uzun Meltem
Published: July 2024

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) found in animal feeds is converted to M1 (AFM1) in animals. It contaminates all dairy products made from the milk of these animals. In this study, AFM1 levels were investigated by competitive ELISA, which is a highly sensitive method in 84 butter samples collected from various markets based on the legal toxin limit of 0.05 μg/kg (50 ng/L) in Turkey. While the presence of AFM1 at different levels was detected in 79 (94%) of the 84 butter samples examined, it was determined that the legal limit was exceeded in 67 (79.7%) of these samples. When the results are evaluated from a seasonal perspective, 37 (88.1%) of 42 butter samples collected in January-February and all (100%) in May were contaminated with AFM1 at various levels. As a result of the study, it was thought that the AFM1 levels determined in butter samples may be a severe public health problem and that the AFB1 levels of animal feeds and store conditions should be controlled regularly. The fact that toxin levels were higher in the spring than in the winter was interpreted as the animals being unable to go to the pasture due to weather conditions and continuing to feed on store feed.

Published: July 2024

Photobiomodulation eradication by Ultraviolet Light (UVL) 254 nm wavelengths exerts bactericidal effects, it was used in the disinfection. UVL showed anti Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) effects where using 280/300nm, with 4Dt value of 5 s observed in the bacterial suspension of 5 log CFU/mL as inactivation. UVL anti-bacterial spores cell wall, harm to DNA, RNA, and proteins by photo-hydration, photo-splitting, photo-crosslinking, and photo-dimerization. The aim was to use photobiomodulation eradication UVL methods for multi resistant MRSA that it had severe infection. So, it can help in disinfection and kill MRSA without chemical treatment. Preparation of MRSA strains, using "LED Apparatus"; the method was "Photobiomodulation Eradication by UVL". The results were presented the “Wavelengths (280+300) nm, were from (0-30 second)”. It was found from the result that the five MRSA strains gave a similar result, and the difference was noted that it was due to the characteristics of each MRSA strain alone and the resistance genes it contained. As for the result, it was very impressive to 30 minutes to completely eliminate all MRSA strains. It was concluded from the results that this photobiomodulation eradicated by UVL method was used to sterilize and eliminated MRSA strains that have drug multi resistance antibiotics within 30 seconds. It was recommended for using this photobiomodulation eradicated by UVL method to eliminate the multi resistance antibiotics strains that infect the skin. That could be through "Pharmacy Technology" to produce the dose that can be used for ski treatment without any harm to the patient.

Introduction: Peripheral venous insufficiency has an approximate prevalence of 60 % in nursing professionals. Objective: To estimate the incidence of peripheral venous insufficiency among nursing professionals of the Provincial Pediatric Teaching Hospital “Dr. Edward Agramonte Pineapple”. Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in the Provincial Pediatric Teaching Hospital “Dr. Eduardo Agramonte Piña” of Camagüey during the first half of 2022. The universe consisted of 272 nurses and the sample remained conformed by the 154 who met the selection criteria. The variables studied included: sex, etary group, referred symptoms, developed clinical signs, modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors, and measures used to prevent disease progression. The study was approved at the Scientific Council, the Ethics Committee of the Hospital and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki were taken into account. The data were expressed in quantity and percentage. Results: There was a predominance of the female sex (98.1 %), the etary group 50-59 years (43.5 %), and, as main signs, fatigue (55.8 %) and telangiectasia (72.2 %). ). Prolonged bipedestation (92.9 %) resulted in the prime modifiable risk factor, while arterial hypertension presented in non-modifiable (33.8 %). The 40.3 % referred to the use of compression stockings to prevent disease progression. Conclusions: A high incidence of varices in female, elderly nursing personnel associated with occupational risk factors such as prolonged bipedalism and sedentary lifestyle was determined.

Introduction. Type I diabetes mellitus (T1D) is one of the most widespread and socially significant diseases. Well-known as a co-occurring condition with youth-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease manifests early after initial diagnosis as signs of cardiovascular remodeling. Growing data indicates that type 1 diabetic children and young adults experience subclinical heart dysfunction, central aortic stiffening, and accelerated peripheral vascular disease. Increased morbidity and mortality in adults have been linked to peripheral artery, heart, and cerebrovascular diseases, and early vascular alterations have been demonstrated to exist since childhood. Little is known to date concerning the development of early cardiac structural and functional problems in children with T1D. Early diagnostic is of high importance.
Aim. To assess the frequency and spectrum of electrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities in children with type 1 diabetes.
Materials and methods. Records of 60 patients with type I diabetes included into the analysis. ECG data, main anamnestic, clinical and laboratory data analyzed.
Results. So-called "small ECG abnormalities" were found. Incomplete left/right blockade bundle branch block found in 22.5% of children, shortened PQ interval in 15%, extrasystoles, tachycardia, bradycardia in 52.5%, T wave amplitude decrease in 60%. 87.5% of the examinees have a combination of 2–3 of the above changes on the ECG. Only 12% of the examined children had an ECG without pathological changes. All children with newly diagnosed type 1 DM had at least 1 of the described ECG abnormalities. Correlation analysis done. Substantial positive correlations between Hb1Ac levels and number of ECG changes, serum cholesterol levels and number of ECG changes were found.
Conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the majority of children with type I diabetes have so-called "small ECG abnormalities." According to the type of disturbances, they can be classified as rhythm and conduction disturbances and combined changes. These findings are promising in terms of management tactics for children with type I diabetes, early detection and timely therapeutic correction of ECG abnormalities.
Economic Resilience of Polish Regions and its Determinants in the Period of Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Bogdański Marcin
Published: July 2024

The aim of the research was to identify, based on available literature, factors determining the level of economic resilience of Polish regions and then verify whether they actually contributed to a more effective amortization of the demand and supply shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The thesis was put forward that regions with a diversified and competitive production and employment structure experienced the negative effects of the economic slowdown to a lesser extent in the initial period of the pandemic and built their production potential faster in the following years.
Based on the results obtained, the relationship between the level of diversification of the production structure and the economic resilience of the studied regions was not confirmed. On the other hand, it was noticed that voivodeships with a competitive production structure were more likely to experience a decline in the growth rate of GDP per capuita in the year of the outbreak of the pandemic. At the same time, in subsequent periods they returned to a relatively dynamic path of economic growth more quickly.
