Ethics in Palliative Care
Authors: Dincer Metin
Published: January 2023

Health services received at the end-of-life (EoL) are accepted as a basic human right. EoL is a very difficult period for patients and their families. Patients in the EoL period should be provided palliative care (PC) services that will increase their quality of life, so their families. Especially pain and other symptoms that the patient faces should be relieved during PC, and grief counseling should be provided to families in the mourning period after the patient’s death. A significant majority of patients who need PC services are cancer patients. Health professionals, including doctors in the first place, should conduct their relationships between patients’ families and with patients who need PC in accordance with biomedical ethical principles. The biomedical ethical principles that will protect the boundaries that should not be exceeded are as follows: (1) explaining that the person can participate in decisions about their treatment: Respect for autonomy; (2) explaining that they should not suffer any healthcare-related harm while receiving healthcare services: Nonmaleficence; (3) explaining that the health services they receive should be evidence-based and useful for the patient: Beneficence; and (4) explaining that the patient can get the health service she needs as much as she needs: Justice.

Published: January 2023

The histopathological diagnosis of malignant melanoma remains the gold standard to allow the patient to access the entire process of the diagnostic-therapeutic-assistance path. Despite the continuous search for markers that can assist in the diagnostic process, there are cases that remain complex to diagnose, and the presence of different criteria among dermatopathologists further complicates the issue. This section will focus on the state of the art of dermatopathological diagnostics of melanoma, starting from the morphological bases up to the latest acquisitions of immunohistochemistry for diagnostic purposes, and molecular biology for therapeutic purposes. Furthermore, we will focus on particularly “challenging” MM histotypes and on what are the current guidelines for a correct diagnosis.
Presence and Self-Learning: An Evolutionary Hypothesis
Authors: Vanni Fabio
Published: January 2023

This work aims to examine the idea of ‘presence’ as a form of quality of one’s being in the world by exploring some concepts that are connected to it, such as fullness, self-learning, time, well-being. We shall draw attention to certain pathways of thinking relating to how human subjects may live the experience more fully and with greater self-learning by referring to the psychoanalytical tradition, and to mindfulness and cognitive psychology, and the cognitive inputs which these disciplines supply, for instance, in studies on memory and learning. Whereas the majority of psychoanalytical tradition regards malaise (unwellness) as an anachronism, or as the hyper-presence of the past in its meeting with the present, the hypothesis of highlighting the presence to oneself as a form of opening and of fullness of the experience itself may lead to formulating theoretical bases, which we aim to discuss.

Authors: Fabiola Díaz-García Irma , Munira Hernández-Santos Dinorah , Bertha Olmedo-Sánchez Ana , Elena Nápoles-Salas Luz
Published: January 2023

The child population is the most affected by the presence of caries. A preventable disease, which causes pain and school absenteeism, generates a significant expense in its treatment. If left untreated, it causes early tooth loss and malocclusion. Altering the quality of life at an early age leaves sequels. Primary care is essential in the prevention of oral diseases. Contact with the health team in first-level medical units, which begins during pregnancy and continues in the following stages of the child, plays an important role in its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Across the health system, these primary care practitioners play an important role in children oral health which includes provide preventive care, referral to dentists or dental care providers and caries risk assessment. This team will know how to refer the child to the dentist specialized in the treatment. This strategy largely represents community prevention. To this must be added the family, and the school, making use of the promotion of oral health in favor of children. Efforts to prevent childhood dental caries cannot only focus on individuals and their biology and behaviors individually. It should consider the backup determinants of children’s dental health as well.

Published: January 2023

The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) has accelerated technology advancement across the manufacturing sector. The technologies of Industry 4.0 make it possible for manufacturing processes to be more efficient while also bringing about changes in human work that may pose new risks to employee wellbeing and test their current abilities. Technologies, such as virtual reality and augmented reality have a significant impact to revise the position and responsibilities of human in the manufacturing environment. Thus, ergonomic perspectives have evolved from focusing solely on adjusting the human to the other components of the work system physically and psychosocially into upgrading cognitive skills to process more information. There are very few ergonomics-related studies in the literature with reference to Industry 4.0 emerging technologies. Especially, research on emphasizing the importance of the concurrent development of technical and ergonomic skills in the industrial setting is a necessity in this modern era. This research aims to explain the modified manufacturing environment, define the role of the human in this new production settings and describe the cognitive modifications required to fit into the Industry 4.0 habitat.
Agricultural Machinery Corrosion
Authors: E.M. Nasr Gamal , Abdel Hamid Zeinab , Refai Mohamed
Published: January 2023

Agricultural machinery expose to wear and corrosion. This damage results from dealing with varying conditions, such as plant moisture, density of plants, soil types, and environmental condition in the field; therefore, this damage leads to an increase in energy consumption, production losses, and a decrease in the lifetime service of reciprocating mower knives. There are many studies that have identified solutions that can be used to increase the life span of agricultural machinery by reducing the chemical corrosion of agricultural machinery. The methods used to reduce chemical corrosion in agricultural machinery can be summarized by selecting new resistant materials, using paint, and using corrosion inhibitors.
Outpatient Management of Chronic Pain
Authors: Anne Z. Liongson Franzes , Bhalodi Rina , McCarthy Christopher , V. Menghani Sanjay , Siddiqui Ajaz
Published: January 2023

In this chapter, we provide an overview of the most current techniques in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of pain in the outpatient setting. We performed a targeted literature review by searching for the terms such as “chronic pain” and “pain management.” Relevant articles were cited, and findings were described in the chapter text. Additionally, we supplemented our review with images from the Spine and Pain Associates’ offices at St. Luke’s University Health Network (SLUHN) in Bethlehem, PA, as well as medical illustrations by our authors. We begin the review with a description of pain—its definition, components, complexity, and classifications and then provide a stepwise outline of the pharmacologic approach beyond nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs before delving into newer interventional pain management procedures. Subsequently, this chapter is not comprehensive as it does not provide extensive discussion on older, more established procedures such as epidural steroid injections as well as practices falling out of favor such as discograms and neurolysis. Instead, we focus on newer subacute to chronic nonmalignant pain interventions. Finally, we attempt to highlight future directions of the growing field. Overall, we provide an overview of the management of chronic by providing insights into updates to chronic pain management.

Published: January 2023

The naturally occurring phenolic compounds have received major attention in recent years as huge amounts of phenolic compounds can be extracted from fruits, vegetables and beverages that have substantial health benefits. From a physiological and metabolic aspect, phenolic compounds are vital in defence responses, such as anti-ageing, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-proliferative, anti-bacterial, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, neuroprotective, cardioprotective activities. Among the fruits having a higher content of phenolic compounds, the apple (Malus Domestica) is the most widely consumed fruit in the world. Apples have a high nutritional value as it is a rich source of ascorbic acid, polyphenols and pectin. Apple peel forms a small percentage (6–8%) of the total fruit weight and contains the highest content of phenolic compounds, particularly chlorogenic acid. There are five major groups of polyphenolic compounds found in apples namely flavanols (Catechin, Epicatechin and Pyrocyanidins), phenolic compounds, phenolic acids (mainly Chlorogenic acids), dihydrochalcones (Phloretin glycosides), flavonols (Quercetin glycosides) and anthocyanins (Cyanidin). This chapter reviews the chemical properties, mode of action, types, extraction of phenolics in apples and the contribution and role of major phenolics in apples to the total antioxidant capacity.
Perspective Chapter: Reflections on the Future of Higher Education in the United Kingdom
Authors: Blackledge Jonathan
Published: January 2023

The problems being faced in the UK university sector are considered, how these problems have arisen, what needs to be done about them, and, how the future of the UK’s knowledge economy will be influenced by the strategies currently being implemented by the UK government. This is done by revisiting some examples of problems from the past, and how they were solved. It is undertaken using a framework that is characterised by the following fundamental issues: (i) educational philosophies; (ii) ethics in educational provision; (iii) knowledge economies, and; (iv) the goals of education. In this context, the chapter discusses the evolving, and necessary connectivity, between government, education and industry - the so-called ‘Triple Helix Concept’. This is coupled with a discussion on the future of Higher Education in terms of the underlying strategy of the UK government, which reflects the new age of the ‘Technological College’ that the UK is now entering.
Perspective Chapter: Gender, Social Class and ‘A Sense of Belonging’ at University – A Historical Perspective
Authors: Shields Sam
Published: January 2023

A sense of belonging is a critical aspect of the university experience for undergraduates. However, with greater heterogeneity in the backgrounds of students in mass higher education systems, it is recognised that those with marginalised identities are less likely to develop a sense of academic and social belonging. This chapter offers a historical perspective of how gender and social class have impacted a sense of belonging for students over a one hundred year period. First, this chapter reflects on how participation in higher education in the UK has increased, with 4357 students graduating from an undergraduate degree in 1920 compared to 359,115 graduating in the academic year 2020–21. Second, how the number of women studying in higher education has changed since 1920 is considered, alongside patterns of degree subject choices for women. Third, the social class composition of university students and the extent to which ‘working-class’ students have ‘fitted in’ to the university environment are explored. Fourth, funding and financial challenges experienced historically and currently by less advantaged students are discussed. Finally, this chapter concludes by suggesting that women’s experiences of university have improved significantly, but social class continues to impact on a sense of belonging for many undergraduates.
Luminescent Materials with Turn-on and Ratiometric Sensory Response Based on Coordination Compounds of Lanthanides
Authors: Pettinari Claudio , Drozdov Andrei , Belousov Yuriy
Published: January 2023

Luminescent lanthanide complexes serve as a unique set of tools for creating sensory materials. The most significant types of sensory response in such materials are the turn-on/off response, when the analyte causes an increase or decrease in the emission intensity, respectively, as well as the ratiometric response, which manifests itself as a change in the ratio of luminescence intensities at different wavelengths. In this paper, we consider two of the most technologically advanced types of luminescent sensor materials based on lanthanide compounds—“turn on” and ratiometric sensors. The production of such materials is not only of importance per their possible application but is especially interesting from a fundamental point of view, since their design requires the implementation of non-trivial solutions.
Perspective Chapter: Addressing the Learning Management System Challenges during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Mutanga Alfred , Joyce Pule Gomotsegang , M. Motshegwe Molefe
Published: January 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed that most face-to-face higher education systems were not prepared to deliver online education. In this book chapter, the authors narrate how a learning management system, which was only used as an optional delivery mode before COVID-19 at a Comprehensive University in Botswana, has become an institutionalised system during and after the COVID-19 crisis. The book chapter clearly demonstrates the performance bottlenecks emanating from both the hardware and software stacks of the learning management system. Furthermore, the authors expound on the detailed end-user challenges by unravelling the varied performance and optimisation techniques used to mitigate the challenges faced.
Perspective Chapter: COVID-19 as a Catalyst for the Acceleration of Change in the Assessment Culture of Caribbean Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Griffith Stafford
Published: January 2023

The COVID-19 challenges to Caribbean higher education institutions prompted a transition in the teaching-learning environment from the traditional face-to-face mode to online or distance modes. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the need for change in the assessment practices of Caribbean higher education institutions in the wake of changes in the teaching-learning environments due to COVID-19. By calling attention to the international debate on assessment practices in higher education precipitated by the pandemic, this paper makes the case that the time has come for Caribbean higher education institutions to make a clean break from assessment that is heavily memory dependent and information laden to assessment that is more meaningful and fit for the development and certification of students with competencies that are critical for Caribbean development. Authentic assessment, which makes use of assessment tasks that look more like the actual activities and processes in which persons are engaged in the real world, is posited as the way forward for Caribbean higher education institutions. The paper concludes that the Region’s higher education institutions must consider how they may collaborate with providers of technology solutions to develop assessment process that are fit for the preparation of students for the future.
The Role of Polarization Analysis in Reducing Natural Hazard
Authors: Kazemnia Kakhki Mohsen , João Mansur Webe
Published: January 2023

The complexity of the regions where the landslide occurred requires a detailed survey of the site response properties of these regions. Ambient noise analysis is a common and nondestructive approach that provides more detailed information on site resonance properties characterized by directional variations. Obtaining geological information from seismic data motivates researchers to innovate and improve efficient tools for seismic wave processing. Polarization-based methods have received much attention regarding their capability to discriminate between different phases of the seismic wave based on their polarities. Using polarization filtering to extract Rayleigh wave ellipticity provides more detailed information on site resonance properties characterized by directional variations. The outputs showed better performance of the method in terms of stability and reliability of the results. Indeed, it enabled the detection of site resonance characteristics that were previously undetectable by classic Nakamura method.

Dengue Virus Surveillance and Blood Safety: A One Health Perspective
Authors: Mulakoli Festus , Gachara George , Ndombi Eric , Khamadi Samoel
Published: January 2023

The provision of blood products to save a life is a noble undertaking for any organization tasked with the duty. In addition to saving millions of lives, blood products pose health risks associated with adverse events. Much has been done to mitigate these challenges, but emerging new infectious diseases pose a public health challenge to both the safety of blood and its availability. The dengue virus an arbovirus is one such virus that is endemic in tropical and subtropical countries. The data emerging from the published papers show that dengue could be a major threat to blood safety and availability in the future. To address these threats, a collaborative approach through one health system is the only avenue to provide a last solution. One health has been implemented as a strategy to mitigate zoonotic diseases and its results are very impressive. This piece of work is a fraction of our larger project that aims to address threats to the dengue virus and blood safety in Kenya and the rest of Africa. In conclusion, adopting one health in the fight against the dengue virus in blood safety will be the best approach to ensure a safer supply of blood products.
The Impact of Traumatic Brain Injury on the Receipt of Services Following Release from Prison
Authors: A. Veeh Christopher , K. Lattimore Pamela , Stainbrook Kristin , P. Aldridge Arnie , Pettus Carrie
Published: January 2023

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is found at substantially higher rates among incarcerated individuals compared to the general adult population. Individuals with TBI report a higher likelihood to experience a range of deleterious outcomes including substance abuse, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, aggressive behavior, and violence. Thus, a history of TBI is likely to lead to the types of behaviors that will significantly increase the odds of an individual returning to incarceration post-release, as supported by recent research with a cohort of state prisoners. TBI has largely gone unaddressed by prison reentry programs that are integral to rehabilitating individuals returning to the community. Relatively little is known, however, about the effects of TBI on the receipt of services post-release. Additionally, few studies have examined sex differences in the prevalence of TBI in reentry populations. This chapter uses data from a multi-state prisoner reentry program randomized control trial to examine whether individuals with TBI are significantly different than their peers without TBI with respect to a variety of demographic and psychological metrics and in expressions of needs for and participation in services and programming during the transition from incarceration to the community.
Neurulation and the Possible Etiologies of Neural Tube Defect
Authors: Us Saba Noor , Faheem Mohd , Manik Punita
Published: January 2023

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are variety of defects which result from abnormal closure of the neural tube during embryogenesis. Various factors are implicated in the genesis of neural tube defects, with contributions from both genetic and environmental factors. The clear understanding of the causes which leads to NTDs is lacking, but several non-genetic risk factors have been identified which can be prevented by maternal folic acid supplementation. Multiple genetic causes and several critical biochemical reactions have been identified whose regulation is essential for the closure of neural tube. Preventive therapies can be developed by identifying potential risk factors in the genesis of NTDs.

La Réception nord-américaine de Folie et déraison de Foucault
Authors: Beaulieu Alain ,   Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy
Published: January 2023

This article aims at understanding the North-American reception of Foucault’s Folie et déraison. After showing how American conceptions of social control facilitated the integration of Foucauldian thinking in North-American academia, I examine the ways by which the advocates of anti-psychiatry and the historians of psychiatry read Folie et déraison, which became emblematic for French Theory. I then present various Anglo-American critiques of Folie et déraison and defend the persistence of a “Foucauldian spirit” against the sci-entifization of psychiatry. All this allows for an assessment of the legacy of Folie et déraison in the North American debates.
Overheid en Joden in het huidige Limburg in de 18e en vroege 19e eeuw
Authors: Jansen J.C.G.M. (Hans)
Published: January 2023

De bundel opent met een studie over de 18e eeuwse Jodenpolitiek in de gebieden die behoren tot de huidige provincie Limburg van de hand van Drs J. C. G. M. Jansen. De auteur constateert dat de houding van de overheid ten opzichte van de kleine Joodse gemeenschappen twee verschijningsvormen vertoonde. In de gebieden, die nauw contact met het Rijnland onderhielden, namen de regionale en lokale besturen maatregelen om de plaats der Joden in het economisch en sociaal leven duidelijk vast te leggen. In de Staatse gebieden liet men veeleer Gods water over Gods akker lopen. De bemoeienissen van de lokale besturen met de Joden bleven er steeds heel marginaal. Of men zich inspande voor het vastleggen van de rechten en plichten der Joden in wetteksten of dat naliet, maakte overigens niet erg veel verschil. Geen enkele bestuursvorm of bestuurslaag was in staat zijn wetten en maatregelen te doen uitvoeren. De werkelijke relaties tussen Joden en niet-Joden voltrokken zich op een ander niveau dan door de overheid was bedoeld.
De lakenfabriek Scheibler, Ronstorff, Rahlenbeck te Dalem (1774-1890) : een voorbeeld van industrialisatie op het platteland
Authors: Leboutte René
Published: January 2023

R. Leboutte, medewerker van het Musée de Fer et de l'Acier te Luik, geeft een overzicht van de geschiedenis van een middelgroot textielbedrijf te Dalem. Deze studie is daarom zo belangrijk, omdat Dalem een der hoofdplaatsen van de landen van Overmaze is geweest en tot aan het laatste kwart van de 18e eeuw onder Noord-Nederlands bestuur heeft gestaan. Desondanks is aan de historie van deze stad in de Nederlands-Limburgse historiografie nooit veel aandacht besteed. Hoewel dit verzuim door het hier gepubliceerde artikel uiteraard niet geheel wordt goedgemaakt, is het toch verheugend dat aan de hand van het gebeuren in Dalem de samenhang tussen de bedrijvigheid in Eifel, Ardennen en Zuid-Limburg kan worden verduidelijkt. De stichters van de hier bestudeerde onderneming, de familie Scheibler, had destijds industriële belangen in Monschau, Eupen, Eijsden en Dalem, een gebied dat eens samenhang vertoonde en thans door de 19e eeuwse grensafbakening in drie staten terecht gekomen is.

Nos servimos de una selección de algunos de los autores más representativos del periodo (los Moratín, Samaniego, Espronceda) y de algunas obras inéditas hasta fecha relativamente reciente, como Don Juan Notorio.
Los docentes y las redes sociales: Usos y motivaciones
Authors: Marcelo-Martínez Paula , Yot-Domínguez Carmen , Marcelo Carlos
Published: January 2023

Social media provides informal learning opportunities that teachers use for their professional development. Through the analysis of data collected through a questionnaire answered by 447 teachers we have known which are the social networks that they use most for their learning, what differences exist in the use of these and what are the reasons that lead them to use them for their teaching work. When addressing the social networks that are most used, contrasts of mean differences have been made considering the nominal variables of sex, age and educational level in which it is taught. We find that teachers are motivated to use social networks to the extent that they represent a space to find digital resources, materials, video tutorials prepared by other teachers and that can be considered interesting. However, teachers do not usually turn to social networks to overcome the isolation they may feel, or to share worries or emotions or to ask for help from another classmate. In future research it will be necessary to investigate the extent to which the participation of teachers in social networks has an impact on the improvement of teaching practice and student learning.

Las redes sociales propician oportunidades de aprendizaje informal que los docentes utilizan para su desarrollo profesional. Mediante el análisis de datos recogidos a través de un cuestionario respondido por 447 docentes hemos conocido cuáles son las redes sociales que más utilizan para su aprendizaje, qué diferencias existen en el uso de estas y cuáles son los motivos que los lleva a utilizarlas para su labor docente. Al abordar las redes sociales que más se utilizan, se han realizado contrastes de diferencias de medias considerando las variables nominales de sexo, edad y nivel educativo en el que se enseña. Encontramos que los docentes se motivan para utilizar las redes sociales en la medida en que suponen un espacio para encontrar recursos digitales, materiales, videotutoriales elaborados por otros docentes y que pueden considerar se interés. Sin embargo, los docentes no suelen recurrir a las redes sociales para superar el aislamiento que puedan sentir, ni para compartir preocupaciones o emociones ni para pedir ayuda a otro compañero. En futuras investigaciones será necesario indagar acerca de en qué medida la participación de los docentes en las redes sociales repercute en la mejora de la práctica docente y en los aprendizajes de los estudiantes
Percepciones de la ciudadanía española ante la desinformación en tiempos de la COVID-19
Authors: Casero-Ripollés Andreu , Doménech-Fabregat Hugo , Alonso-Muñoz Laura
Published: January 2023

La desinformación se ha convertido en uno de los principales problemas para nuestra sociedad y nuestra democracia. Pese al incremento de investigaciones sobre este tópico, la percepción ciudadana sobre los efectos causados por las noticias falsas y las formas de combatirlas es una cuestión todavía pendiente. Nuestro objetivo es analizar estos dos aspectos en el contexto de la COVID-19 en España y, además, identificar los factores sociodemográficos y políticos que los determinan. Para ello, hemos usado una encuesta cuantitativa aplicada mediante un panel online (n= 682). Los resultados revelan que la desinformación genera, como efecto principal, un incremento de la desconfianza hacia los medios y los políticos entre la ciudadanía española. Por otra parte, su incidencia en el cambio de opinión y en la decisión de voto es reducida. En relación con el Coronavirus, las falsedades han tenido un bajo impacto en el proceso de vacunación, aunque si han repercutido en el incremento de las teorías de la conspiración entre la ciudadanía. Los hombres, los jóvenes y las personas de extrema derecha son quienes perciben las consecuencias de los engaños con mayor intensidad. Finalmente, la verificación de la información y la legislación son los mecanismos de lucha contra la desinformación que la ciudadanía considera más fiables. Estos resultados tienen importantes implicaciones tanto para las instituciones públicas como para el periodismo.
Ir partido a partido: foco y expectativas
Authors: Massaguer Lluc
Published: January 2023

La palabra expectativa proviene etimológicamente de spectare (contemplar o ver en detalle) y el prefijo ex (hacia afuera). Se refiere a la esperanza o posibilidad de conseguir algo, y está tan integrada en nuestra mirada que, a veces, se convierte en un prejuicio, o como mínimo suele desviar nuestro foco de atención. Las expectativas se nos colocan como un filtro en la relación con las otras personas, y por supuesto también en el ámbito académico y en el profesional.
The Absence of a Single Ideological and Value Construct of the Image of the State as a Threat to Russia's National Security
Authors: Shmygin Vladislav Andreevich , Shultz Vladimir Leopoldovich , Kolomiitseva Margarita Gennadevna
Published: January 2023

The article analyzes the impact of the absence of a single ideological and value construct of the image of the state in the minds of young people on the state of national security of the country. In the course of the research, an attempt is made to describe the current ideological constructs of the state that exist in the minds of young people. The authors study the consequences of the intervention of actors interested in destabilizing the socio-political system in the process of constructing the image of the state in the perception of young people. The analysis is conducted through the analysis of cases involving Russian youth in the current political agenda. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was a secondary analysis of the results of research on the value bases of political activity of young people, in which ideological ideas and attitudes are considered in the structure of moral and political consciousness. The organization of the socio-political system of the country takes place in a single information space, where the prism of moral and ethical values is constructed. Young people, as an age group characterized by not well-established life imperatives and a high level of content consumption, are ready to look at what is happening in the state through the prism offered to them in the information space. The problem of creating content is compounded by the lack of a single ideological and value construct that can justify to young people the need for actions taken by state institutions. The concepts of ideas about the state that exist among the younger generation are fragmentary and antagonistic, as they were spontaneously formed on the remnants of the Soviet ideological heritage and integrated Western narratives. In this article, the authors attempt to formulate current threats to national security based on a secondary analysis of studies of the value perceptions of young people and the motives for their participation in protest actions, which are based on the ideological disorganization of the younger generation of Russians.
Populism in Internet Memes. An Investigation with Analytical Approaches from Discourse Analysis and Multimodality
Authors: Hultin Morger Fabia
Published: January 2023

This article explores if and how populist elements are expressed in Internet memes within German-language political discourses. This is done by conducting a data-based investigation rooted in the discourse historical approach and multimodality theory. Memes with varying political alignments are analysed with regards to how they express either of the following features of populist style: the appeal to the people vs. the elite, the use of bad manners, and the performance of crisis. Special focus is given to the political context as well as the semiotic resources used to convey populist themes. The findings of this study show that in order for populism to be analysed within memes a gradational perspective on populism is necessary. Applying this method, a diverse variety of populist characteristics can be found in memes, revealing the many possibilities of populist expression in this format.

Aims: This study aims to analyze the diversity of endemic flora of North Sulawesi Indonesia as a potential for sustainable ecotourism.

Place and Duration of Study: This research was conducted in the Batuputih Nature Tourism Park (BNTP), Bitung, North Sulawesi (Sulawesi Utara), Indonesia from April until June 2022.

Methodology: The data collection method is carried out using vegetation analysis where this method is a combination method between the path method and the banded line. The number of plot paths used in this study was 47 plots. The distance between the plot of the paths is 20 meters. Determination of the observation path plot is carried out by purposive sampling. Data obtained in the field were analyzed using the Shannon-Wienner species diversity index.

Results: The study's results found 61 types of plants at the sapling level, 29 at the pole level and 47 at the tree level. The plants that dominate Batuputih Nature Tourism Park (BNTP) at the level of mature trees belong to the family Malvaceae, while the plants that dominate at the level of piles and piles belong to the families Rubiaceae and Anacardiaceae. The value of plant species diversity at each level is greater than 3. The diversity index value at the sapling level is 3.75, the pole level is 3.15, and the tree level with a value of 3.11.

Conclusion: The diversity of flora species at the level of trees, pole and sapling in the Batuputih Nature Tourism Park area is included in the category of high abundance. This means that the diversity of flora species in the community is increasingly stable in the BNTP area. In this area, 2 (two) types of flora endemic to North Sulawesi are found as potential for sustainable ecotourism, namely the species of Homalium celebicum and Pterospermum celebicum. Both types of endemic plants have the potential to become icons or flagships of ecotourism in North Sulawesi.

The TXRF technique (total reflection X-ray fluorescence) was employed to analyze the concentration of zinc (Zn) and other metals in the pineal gland of rats submitted to orally administered excess dose of Zn sulfate. The histochemical localization of Zn was also performed. TXRF results showed a 42.9% increase in Zn concentration, and alterations on the homeostasis of other essential elements in rats. It was concluded that TXRF is a suitable technique for measuring, for the first time in this work, the concentration of Zn accumulated in the pineal gland after administration of an excess dose of Zn, and this result may be either directly or indirectly related to alteration in the homeostasis of other chemical elements, such as S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn and Fe.

Published: January 2023

Aims: Past many decades the traditional way of examining the students includes both short and long cases as well viva-voce examination. In the conventional assessment method, there are some voids found such as communication skills.

Study Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed using a pre-designed questionnaire through Google forms.

Place and Duration of Study: Questionnaire distributed to the participants of various dental colleges across India through e-mails, and through Whats App, from 16th Feb 2022 to 30th March.

Methodology: The questionnaire was pre-tested, and validation was performed. A total of 501 responses were received from the participants. The received data was entered in Microsoft Excel sheet. Descriptive Statistical Analysis was done by using IBM SPSS version 26.

Results:  A total of 501 faculty members participated. Senior Lectures stood in first place (153) and the least interest shown by the Readers (100). While gender wise designations follow as in Senior Lecturer designation dominated by the female faculty. 82.4% of faculty were aware about the OSCE and 77.8% claimed they knew about OSPE. More than half of the participated faculty revealed that they have not undergone any training programme to conduct OSCE/OSPE.

Conclusion:  Very few of the Dental Institutions conduct the OSCE/OSPE programmes. Though there are many ways to test the student’s knowledge, no single method is superior to other methods. It is advisable to use a combination of methods for better results.

Biosurfactants have gained more attention in the past decade as possible medical resources. They are useful therapeutic agents againstmany infections because of their antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Additionally, the anti-adherent activities of thesecompounds counter to a number of pathogens suggest that they could be useful as an anti-adherent coating for medical inserts, helpingto prevent infections in hospitals without the use of chemicals. This study aims to investigate the antiadhesive activities of biosurfactantsextracted from Lactobacillus brevis and Bacillus sp. against seven clinical pathogens. Biosurfactants at different concentrations wereapplied to polystyrene surfaces, and then the attachment of pathogenic strains was evaluated. The adhesion of microbes to n-hexadecanewas also studied. As a result, the bacterial strains with 50 mg/ml of Lactobacillus brevis biosurfactant displayed a 69–73% reduction inadhesion. In contrast to the first biosurfactant, a biosurfactant extracted from Bacillus sp. significantly reduced bacterial attachment at allconcentrations studied, although to a lesser extent. As the concentration was increased in surface conditioning tests, the anti-adhesiveactivity increased, showing the significance of considering this. In summary, both biosurfactants demonstrated excellent potential asanti-adhesive compounds that can prevent microbial contamination. Our findings provided evidence that biosurfactants could be used inmedical applications.

We investigated the anatomical and histochemical features of Dioscorea polystachya (Dioscoreaceae), an important food crop in China. The primary structures of D. polystachya include vertical tubers, adventitious roots, twining aerial stems, and leaves with bulblets. The vertical tubers have storage parenchyma with scattered vascular bundles, a cortical meristerm zone, and phellem. The cortical meristerm zone acts as a cambium to thicken the tubers. The twining stems and petioles both have a sclerenchyma layer with vascular bundles, while the blades have palisade tissues and spongy tissues covered by a cuticle. The roots have stele, an endodermis, and an exodermis. The scattered vascular bundles and phellem in the vertical tubers, the sclerenchyma layers and cuticles in the stems and leaves, and the endodermis and exodermis in the roots facilitated the adaptation of D. polystachya to terrestrial environments. The cortical meristerm zone thickens the tubers, which improves cultivation techniques. These structural features help to clarify the complex taxonomy, evolutionary history, and phylogenetic relationships of D. polystachya
