Published: June 2021

We estimated the relative drought resistance of different soybean and lentil cultivars and studied impact of before-sowing seed treatment with amino-acid biostimulator on osmotic resistance of plants at the initial stage of ontogenesis. Resistance was determined in solutions with high osmotic potential (water solution of osmotically active agent – mannite of seven atmospheres). We analyzed four soybean and three lentil cultivars. We revealed cultivars having high level of a relative osmotic resistance at the initial stage of plants ontogenesis. As a result of a complex estimation we stated the usage of the biostimulator Biosteam Start positively influenced on soybean seedlings and caused increasing of seeds resistance in drought stress conditions that is very important for the further growth and development of cultural plants.

We studied the effect of the growth regulator Regoplant on the mass of seedlings, the quality of seedlings and the productivity of tobacco. Soaking tobacco seeds before sowing in a 0.0001 % solution of the preparation at an exposure of 6 hours, and then spraying the plants at the stage of “auricles” and “seedling ready for planting” with a working solution of an agrochemical with a 0.00001 % concentration significantly improved the quality of seedlings. This technique increases the length of tobacco seedlings to the apical point by 66 %, to the end of elongated leaves by 29 %, the mass of stems by 53 %, the mass of roots by 32 %, the diameter of the stem by 38 %. After planting the plants in the field, developed under the influence of the Regoplant stimulator, we noted an increase in productivity by 16 % and an improvement in the quality of raw materials due to an increase in carbohydrates and a decrease in proteins. The economic effect against the background of the application of Regoplant preparation amounted to 106 thousand rubles.

Published: June 2021

Cellulitis is a clinical condition which is characterised by reddishness, soreness, localized pain, erythema, swelling and formation of abscess in the leg, pyrexia and an increase in the heartbeat. It is the infection of the sub-cutaneous tissue and dermal layer usually found complicating a wound or ulcer. It is considered an infectious disease as it causes morbidity and mortality. It is also called skin diseases, as the skin is involved and lacks sharp demarcation from uninvolved skin. Cellulitis spreads rapidly and is pyogenic in nature and is frequently associated with lymphangitis and fever. Streptococci (streptococci pyogenes) and staphylococcus aureus are the two species which causes cellulitis. Five types of cellulitis can be classified they are facial cellulitis, periorbital cellulitis, breast cellulitis, perianal cellulitis. Diagnosis of cellulitis is based on morphological features of the lesion and a CT scan is required for determining cellulitis. By the visual inspection, the cellulitis is spotted. The common risk factor for cellulitis is oedema. If the cellulitis patient has Diabetes Mellitus or injury in the skin or any inflammation in the liver, they are considered to be in a dangerous state. Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs are prescribed to decrease the clinical features. Clindamycin, Dicloxacillin are antibiotics that are administered to cure cellulitis. This review discusses the general information regarding cellulitis, its clinical indications, pathophysiology, microbiology and its treatment.

Conhecer o desempenho das políticas públicas de regularização fundiária urbana demanda o conhecimento de elementos capazes de fundamentar o acompanhamento dos processos, verificando avanços e apontando impasses. No entanto, é sabida a limitação e a fragilidade que predominam nos processos de monitoramento e avaliação dos programas voltados à temática urbana, de forma geral. E a regularização fundiária, ou as ações sobre as áreas irregulares, não fogem à regra. Este livro visa levantar as diferentes perspectivas sobre o tema da regularização fundiária, desde as razões de seu surgimento, os diferentes entendimentos da irregularidade da ocupação urbana e seu dimensionamento para avaliar a formulação da base normativa sobre o tema e a formulação e implementação das políticas públicas que se apresentam como respostas ao problema. Objetiva avaliar quanto se avançou, bem como os êxitos e os obstáculos. Os achados são resultados de pesquisas dos últimos 15 anos e se dão sob a perspectiva dos investimentos realizados nas diferentes dimensões da regularização, e não só na titulação, como poderia levar uma visão mais restrita da problemática da irregularidade. Como contribuição à elaboração dos projetos urbanísticos de regularização, apresentam-se resultados de estudos sobre a lógica metodológica própria desse tipo de projeto urbanístico que deve possui na interface entre o ambiental e o social a base para promoção da cidade sustentável.
'Sado' - A novel and Expressions of creativity and rhetorical allience: Ni-Vanuatu women's voices
Authors: Nyman Mikaela
Published: June 2021

This PhD thesis in creative writing explores women’s marginalised or
under-represented public voices in Vanuatu, focusing on literary
writing. The thesis is in two parts and uses the dual lenses of fiction
and critical thinking to explore the factors that define women’s
realities and circumscribe the avenues for their voices to be heard and
for their creative work to be published. The creative component is the
main research element and consists of a novel, Sado,set in Vanuatu. The
critical component addresses the invisibility of Ni-Vanuatu women
writers and the ways in which they have attempted to overcome and
challenge existing social and traditional power structures that silence
women. The critical enquiry includes oral history interviews with three
generations of Ni-Vanuatu women writers. This thesis is practice-led and
uses an applied research approach, rather than a theoretical approach.
The novel dramatises and articulates the moral and ethical
dilemmas,regarding women’s place in society and the challenges posed by
customary traditions rooted in a specific place for an increasingly
mobile and urban population. The ethos guiding this project is to hold
the space for Ni-Vanuatu women writers to tell their own stories.The
thesis sits within the inter-disciplinary frameworks of Pacific Studies
and Cultural Studies. It draws on Pacific literature and uses feminist
theory and methodology,in combination with articulation and oral history
methods,to examine the enabling and constraining factors, the actions,
motivation and themes of three generations of Ni-Vanuatu writers,
established and emerging, and the alliances they are attempting to
forge. The thesis finds, firstly, that gendered norms, certain policies
and aspects of customary traditions that use the male position as a
default have contributed to limiting the public space for Ni-Vanuatu
women’s voices to be heard and given due recognition. It furthermore
finds that colonial language policies, particularly in education, have
contributed to a reluctance to consider Bislama an appropriate literary
vehicle. Finally,literary efforts in Vanuatu continue to be hampered by
the absence of a community of writers, supportive institutions,
publishing outlets, editorial support and a lack of finance for
self-publishing work in printed form. An exploration of the significance
of the poetry and non-fiction of two published Ni-Vanuatu writers,
Grace Mera Molisa and Mildred Sope, anchors this research project
historically. A creative writing workshop and oral history conversations
constitute an extension of my research methodology into decolonising
methods of research embedded in indigenous knowledge and local context.
They likewise provide a generative and more collaborative form of
meaning-making. In the spirit of Lisa King’s ideas on rhetorical
sovereignty and rhetorical alliance, I explore various opportunities to
generate more published writing from Vanuatu in collaboration with
Ni-Vanuatu writers.

Statistical Assessment of Hydraulic Properties of Unsaturated Soils
Authors: Gitirana Gilson de F. N. , Fredlund Delwyn G.
Published: June 2021

The availability of statistical values for soil parameters is essential in reliability-based geotechnical design and sensitivity analysis. Unfortunately, there are few statistical studies available about unsaturated soil parameters. The primary objective of this paper is to present a methodology for the statistical assessment of hydraulic properties of unsaturated soil and to present the results of a statistical study carried out using a large database of soil properties. Two fundamental unsaturated soil properties are considered; namely, the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) and the hydraulic conductivity function. Appropriate nonlinear functions and fitting parameters with well-defined and unique physical and/or geometrical meanings were adopted. The main contribution of this article is the establishment of central tendency measures, standard deviations, and correlation coefficients for the unsaturated soil parameters, considering soil datasets grouped according to soil texture. It was determined based on the analyses results that the air-entry value, primary SWCC slope, residual SWCC slope, saturated hydraulic conductivity, and hydraulic conductivity function slope could be well described using lognormal probability density functions. Finally, general guidelines are provided regarding the statistical values to be adopted for the unsaturated soil properties studied.

Authors: Ng Boon Han Kevin , Tang Ing Ping , Narayanan Prepageran , Leunig Andreas
Published: June 2021

Introduction:
Dissection courses are important for trainees and surgeons in mastering the skills required to perform endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) which is a common surgery in otorhinolaryngology.

Aim:
To evaluate the benefits of ESS training courses and ways to improve training.

Material and methods:
In a prospective study using a structured questionnaire, participants of ESS courses in the United Kingdom, Malaysia, India and Thailand were asked on their experiences in these courses and suggestions on improving them.

Results and discussion:
The majority of the participants have experiences in performing ESS prior to joining the course. Infundibulotomy was considered the easiest dissection step in ESS while frontal sinus surgery was considered the most challenging by the majority of the participants. The motivation for most of the participants in joining the course is to improve their skills with almost all stating that their expectations of the course have been fulfilled with improvement of their surgical techniques, anatomical skills and on patient’s safety. Almost all the participants were satisfied with the course and would recommend attending it.

Conclusions:
ESS dissection courses are an integral part in the learning process of trainees in becoming a competent surgeon and for surgeons to improve their techniques. Continuous improvement should be made to ensure that the participants will benefit from attending the course.

Tirtomulyo Village is located enroute the Parangtritis Beach, which is one of the main tourist destinations in the Bantul Region of Yogyakarta. This village has the potential to develop into an agro-tourism area based on the natural resources and community participation. Presently, community-based agro-tourism is being developed in this area through the Gadjah Mada University Assisted Village program. Therefore, this programme aims to 1) Identify the potential of natural resources and village landscapes; 2) Increase community participation in developing villages; and 3) Empower natural resources and village communities for agro-tourism development. Data were obtained from community participation-based agro-tourism planning using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) method and the Training on Trainer system from June to October 2020. Furthermore, during the Covid 19 pandemic, tourism education was carried out using an online method such as Google meet and whatsapp group platforms. The implementation of the direct meeting program (offline) was limited due to health protocol. Potential identification carried out by the community in 15 hamlets of Tirtomulyo Village shows the potential for natural resource attractions based on local wisdom consisting of natural resources, yards (pekarangan), cultural table 1dance, handicrafts, culinary, and fisheries. The result showed that online and offline discussions and the making of BMC posters are some of the efforts used in building villages for agro-tourism development. Furthermore, various natural resources as the potential of agro-tourism attractions have started to be empowered, including plant nurseries in the yard (pekarangan), peanut brittle, gula semut, and banana weevil chips well as a homestay. Therefore, the coordination of the inter-hamlet agro-tourism program at the village level still needs to be improved.

Published: June 2021

Artisanal refining of crude oil is a common practice in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria and this has continuously posed serious environmental and health risks. This was designed to investigate the microbial dynamics and physico-chemical properties of environmental (water, sediment and soil) matrix of impacted by artisanal refining activities. Three sampling locations (Bolo, River’s state; Ekpemu, Delta state; and Twon-Brass, Bayelsa state) were studied. Finding revealed that the total heterotrophic bacterial (THB) load of the recipient water from Twon-Brass had the least count of 2.0 ±0.2 x 104cfu/ml, followed by Ekpemu (2.1 ±0.3 x 103cfu/ml), then Bolo (2.35±0.6 x 104cfu/ml). In the contrary, recipient water body in Ekpemu had the least HUB load (1.8 ±0.1 x 103cfu/ml) followed by Bolo (2.0 ±0.3 x 104cfu/ml), and Twon-Brass (2.0 ±0.8 x 104cfu/ml). The bacterial load of the un-impacted aquatic matrix revealed a higher heterotrophic bacterial load (5.8+ 0.30 x 105cfu/ml) and low HUB load (0.2+ 0.21 x 103cfu/ml). In the sediment, Bodo had the least THB load of 2.1 ±0.2 x 105cfu/g, followed by Twon-Brass (2.3 ±0.6 x 105cfu/g), and Ekpemu (2.9 ±0.3 x 105cfu/g).Bolo and Twon-Brass soil were also highly impacted with hydrocarbons with a pollution index close to 1 (HUB/THB ratio = 0.9) while Ekpemu had a pollution index of 0.7. Bacterial species associated with the samples were Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas putida, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were predominant in all the sample locations. Similarly, the artisanal refining activities also altered the physico-chemical properties of the various environmental matrix studied. Based on the finding of this study, it can be predicted that bioremediation various environmental matrix by natural attenuation is ongoing as most of the organisms isolated are hydrocarbon degraders. However, it is recommended that artisanal refining activities should be discouraged.

Esta dissertação traz como enfoque práticas pedagógicas alternativas no ensino de Filosofia. A concepção de Filosofia difundida na educação escolar brasileira historicamente esteve ligada a saberes abstratos e racionalistas, ligados à formação das elites. Suas bases escolásticas desde o Brasil Colônia a desvincularam de características contextualizadas de um ensino voltado à realidade vivencial, afastando-a de possibilidades de reflexão e problematização (RODRIGUES, 2012). Há no Brasil, ainda uma carência de professores formados em Filosofia para o provimento da docência na disciplina no ensino médio mesmo após o Parecer de 2006 (CNE/CEB nº 38/2006), que imputou à disciplina o status da obrigatoriedade.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING AND EDUCATION IN NORTH-EAST INDIA: ACCESS AND LABOUR MARKET OUTCOMES
Authors: Sarkar Anupam
Published: June 2021

India’s north-east region, comprising of eight States is one of the less industrialised and economically backward areas of the country. Lack of skilled manpower has been identified as one of the major reasons for the underdevelopment of the manufacturing sector. Recently, the government of India has embarked on an ambitious target of improving the skill base of the country through expansion of the vocational education and training (VET) programmes. In this context, the paper examines the access to VET among the working-age population and the impact on employment and earnings using the Annual Report of the Periodic Labour Force Survey 2017-18. The paper argues that despite the recent initiatives on massive skilling of the country's youth a very little section of NE has accessed formal VET. Moreover, although it has some impact on raising labour force participation, there is no evidence that formal VET courses are effective enough to increase earnings, bridge the gender gap in wages, or the improving work conditions of the VET holders.

The Cardiovascular Mechanisms of Interoceptive Awareness: Effects of Resonance Breathing
Authors: Leganes-Fonteneau Mateo
Published: June 2021

Interoception, the ability to perceive internal bodily sensations, and heart rate variability (HRV) share common physiological pathways, including the baroreflex feedback loop. The baroreflex can be activated by resonance breathing, wherein respiration is paced at 6 times per minute (0.1Hz), eliciting immediate physiological changes and longer-term therapeutic responses.This registered report characterizes baroreflex functioning as a cardiac mechanism of interoception in a two-session study (n=67). Cardiac Interoceptive awareness was measured using the discrimination task. Baroreflex functioning was measured as HRV at 0.1Hz and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS); high frequency (HF) HRV was calculated as a control. Cardiovascular indices were measured at baseline and during active and control paced breathing after which changes in interoception were measured.The first hypothesis was that baseline baroreflex functioning would predict individual differences in interoceptive awareness. The second hypothesis was that resonance breathing would increase participants’ ability to detect their own heartbeats, and that this effect would be mediated by increases in 0.1Hz HRV and BRS. Data were collected upon in principle acceptance of the manuscript.We found a negative relationship of interoceptive accuracy with HF HRV and BRS at baseline, and a positive relationship between metacognitive interoception and 0.1HZ HRV, BRS and HF HRV. We found that changes in 0.1Hz HRV and BRS during resonance breathing positively correlate with increases in interoceptive accuracy. Our results show that the extent to which breathing recruits the resonant properties of the cardiovascular system can facilitate the conscious perception of participants’ heartbeats. We interpret this as an increase in vagal afferent signaling and baroreflex functioning following resonance breathing. We also put forward an alternative explanation that HRV modulation can reduce interoceptive prediction errors, facilitating the conscious perception of interoceptive signals, and consider the role of resonance breathing on mental health from an interoceptive inference perspective.

I Know It Is Not Real (And That Matters) Media Awareness vs. Presence in a Parallel Processing Account of the VR Experience
Authors: Hartmann Tilo , Hofer Matthias
Published: June 2021

Inspired by the widely recognized idea that in VR/XR, not only presence but also encountered plausibility is relevant (Slater, Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B, 2009, 364 (1535), 3549–3557), we propose a general psychological parallel processing account to explain users’ VR and XR experience. The model adopts a broad psychological view by building on interdisciplinary literature on the dualistic nature of perceiving and experiencing (mediated) representations. It proposes that perceptual sensations like presence are paralleled by users’ belief that “this is not really happening,” which we refer to as media awareness. We review the developmental underpinnings of basic media awareness, and argue that it is triggered in users’ conscious exposure to VR/XR. During exposure, the salience of media awareness can vary dynamically due to factors like encountered sensory and semantic (in)consistencies. Our account sketches media awareness and presence as two parallel processes that together define a situation as a media exposure situation. We also review potential joint effects on subsequent psychological and behavioral responses that characterize the user experience in VR/XR. We conclude the article with a programmatic outlook on testable assumptions and open questions for future research.
Feeling exhausted and isolated? The connections between university students’ remote teaching and learning experiences, motivation, and psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic

Published: June 2021

We examined university students’ experiences of remote teaching and learning, how the experiences are associated with well-being, and whether those associations differ according to motivation. Using latent variable modelling, we classified Finnish university students (N = 2686) based on their expectancy-value-cost profiles, compared latent means, and tested whether the predictions varied across profiles. Six expectancy-value-cost profiles were identified: moderately motivated, utility-oriented, disengaged, indifferent, positively ambitious, and struggling ambitious. Overall, positively ambitious students seemed most adaptive in terms of their study experiences and well-being. Similarly across the profiles, engagement was predicted positively by the evaluation of remote teaching and negatively by experienced strain, exhaustion positively by the evaluation of teaching and strain, and depressive symptoms positively by strain and sense of alienation. Findings suggest that subjective experiences of remote teaching and learning during the pandemic contribute to students’ well-being in unique ways and that distinct motivational mindsets may buffer against the negative outcomes.
Driving a Hard Bargain is a Balancing Act: How social preferences constrain the negotiation process
Authors: Engler Yola , Page Lionel
Published: June 2021

We investigate the haggling process in bargaining. Using an experimental bargaining game, we find that a first offer has a significant impact on the bargaining outcome even if it is costless to reject. First offers convey information on the player’s reservation value induced by his social preferences. They are most often accepted when they are not above the equal split. However, offers which request much more than the equal split induce punishing counteroffers. The bargaining outcome is therefore critically influenced by the balance of toughness and kindness signaled through the offers made in the haggling phase.

Authors: McCaw Katherine , West Andrew , Duncan Colleen , Frey Danielle , Duerr Felix
Published: June 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed the use of novel teaching modalities to enhance the provision of remote veterinary education. In this study, we describe the use of immersive virtual reality (iVR) as a teaching aid for veterinary medicine students during their orthopedics clinical rotation. Student sentiments were assessed using voluntary electronic surveys taken by veterinary students before and after the rotation. The most noteworthy benefits students reported were improved engagement with the course content, information retention, radiographic interpretation, and clinical reasoning skills. Obstacles encountered during the initial stages of the program included financial and temporal investment in equipment and content development, technical troubleshooting, and motion sickness. Though it is unlikely that iVR will ever fully replace hands-on learning experiences, it presents an educational opportunity to supplement traditional learning methods, motivate students, and fill information gaps. As iVR technology continues to evolve and improve, potential applications in the veterinary curriculum grow, making the modality’s use progressively more advantageous. Although this study describes its application in an orthopedic setting, the versatility of the iVR modality lends the potential for it to be implemented in a number of clinical and didactic settings.

Published: June 2021

Background: Genetic mutations in triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) have been strongly associated with increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other progressive dementias. In the brain, TREM2 protein is specifically expressed on microglia suggesting their active involvement in driving disease pathology. Using various transgenic AD models to interfere with microglial function through TREM2, several recent studies provided important data indicating a causal link between TREM2 and underlying amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau pathology. However, mechanisms by which TREM2 contributes to increased predisposition to clinical AD and influences its progression still remain largely unknown. Objective: Our aim was to elucidate the potential contribution of TREM2 on specific oscillatory dynamic changes associated with AD pathophysiology. Methods: Spontaneous and brainstem nucleus pontis oralis stimulation-induced hippocampal oscillation paradigm was used to investigate the impact of TREM2 haploinsufficiency TREM2(Het) or total deficiency TREM2(Hom) on hippocampal network function in wild-type and Aβ overproducing Tg2576 mice under urethane anesthesia. Results: Partial (TREM2(Het)) or total (TREM2(Hom)) deletion of TREM2 led to increased incidence of spontaneous epileptiform seizures in both wild-type and Tg2576 mice. Importantly, deficiency of TREM2 in Tg2576 mice significantly diminished power of theta oscillation in the hippocampus elicited by brainstem-stimulation compared to wild-type mice. However, it did not affect hippocampal theta-phase gamma-amplitude coupling significantly, since over a 60%reduction was found in coupling in Tg2576 mice regardless of TREM2 function. Conclusion: Our findings indicate a role for TREM2-dependent microglial function in the hippocampal neuronal excitability in both wild type and Aβ overproducing mice, whereas deficiency in TREM2 function exacerbates disruptive effects of Aβ on hippocampal network oscillations.

Published: June 2021

Diurnal salivary cortisol was measured in 334 older adults without dementia, at four times on two separate days, under quiet and stressful conditions. In multivariate Cox proportional hazard models, higher global diurnal cortisol secretion was associated with incident dementia (HR = 1.09 [1.02–1.15] per one-unit increase in cortisol measure, p = 0.007) and Alzheimer’s disease (HR = 1.12 [1.04–1.21], p = 0.003) over a mean (SD) of 8.1 (4.0) years, independent of potential confounders and stressful conditions. Individuals with incident dementia had a slower rate of cortisol elimination under non-stressful conditions, reflected by higher cortisol levels in the evening, and an abnormal response to stress (blunted evening stress response).
An improved QPSO-SVM-based approach for predicting the milling force for white marble in robot stone machining

Published: June 2021

Milling force prediction is one of the most important ways to improve the quality of products and stability in robot stone machining. In this paper, support vector machines (SVMs) are introduced to model the milling force of white marble, and the model parameters in the SVMs are optimized by the improved quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (IQPSO) algorithm. A set of online inspection data from stone-machining robotic manipulators is adopted to train and test the model. The overall performance of the model is evaluated based on the decision coefficient (R2), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean square error (RMSE), and the results obtained by IQPSO-SVM are superior to those of the PSO-SVM model. On this basis, the relationship between the milling force of white marble and various machining parameters is explored to obtain optimal machining parameters. The proposed model provides a tool for the adjustment of machining parameters to ensure stable machining quality. This approach is a new method and concept for milling force control and optimization research in the robotic stone milling process.

In general, Robotics is the area concerned with the linking of perception to action, and AI must have a central role in Robotics if the association is to be intelligent. Skiing and Snowboarding are famous winter games worldwide, enjoyed by participants of all ages and skill levels. Leg dominance has been recounted as a probable risk factor in downhill skiers for lower-limb injuries. Furthermore, snowboarders are more likely to injure their ankles than alpine skiers. To overcome these issues, in this paper, the Artificial Intelligence assisted Statistical model (AIASM) has been proposed to the smart robotic supporting leg for skiers and snowboarders. This paper introduces the concept and study of a robotic modular leg (RML) system with a reduced degree of freedom (DOF). The RML gives a perspective on physics that uses dynamic skiing methods and strategies to produce functional ski movements. Kinematic and dynamic models for the leg system are developed and used for modeling tendency, angle, and measurement, unweighting technique to create balanced and realistic curvature turns and peaks. The experimental results show that the suggested system has a performance rate of 95.31% with different ski movements at various intervals, curves, diameters, and peak shapes for tracking the desired footpath.

Published: June 2021

In recent years, China’s colleges have made gratifying achievements in the funding work of poor students, but there are still some problems. In order to improve the accuracy of the funding work, the performance of the poor students in colleges should be evaluated effectively. This paper uses the design idea based on the whole process, and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and the hierarchical analysis method, and constructs the performance evaluation index system of the poor students in colleges. Then, taking the performance evaluation of poor students’ support in Jiangxi University of Technology as an example, according to China’s national conditions, the empirical analysis shows that the poverty students’ support work in Jiangxi University of Technology is at the general level, and can be improved from four aspects: perfecting the mechanism of identifying poor students, broadening the funding channels, perfecting the supervision mechanism of financial aid for poor students, and combining financial aid with mental support. The research of this paper is of great significance to improve the management level of the funding of poor students in colleges and universities.
