Social Media and the Undergraduate Experience
Authors:   , Olk Michael James , Nicholas Diana S. , Koltick Nicole
Published: August 2023

Modern social media (SM) platforms function under an economy of maintaining the attention of its users. This sets business-driven goals for SM companies to prolong user screen-time on their platforms. Numerous studies within the past decade suggest the negative relationship between screen-time and mental health, well-being, and academic performance. A prototyped two-part study was conducted to inform primary research which involved a product analysis of TikTok, an online survey and interviews with undergraduates, and market research on existing app solutions. The research was synthesized through a creative process of concept development. The outcome of this project was research-informed design recommendations and a framework that supports the development of app solutions for young adults. This research contributes to the existing knowledge of persuasive tactics within SM, how these tactics can impact undergraduate students, and the development of solutions that mitigate the risks of these tactics.
Improving Charge Transport in Integrated MoO₃/C Electrode Materials for Water-In-Salt Energy Storage Systems by Incorporating Oxygen Vacancies
Authors:   , Omo-Lamai Darrell Emake Mbeng , Pomerantseva Ekaterina
Published: August 2023

Improvements in the charge storage properties of [alpha]-MoO₃ used as an electrode with a 30 m ZnCl₂ water-in-salt electrolyte have been achieved by enhancements in electron and ion transport enabled by an inventive synthesis route. Electron transport was improved through the integration of MoO₃ with dopamine-derived carbon via a chemical preintercalation route, and enhanced ion transport was achieved by incorporating oxygen vacancies in MoO₃ structure through ethanol reduction under hydrothermal conditions. The presence of carbon was confirmed by corresponding D and G bands observed in Raman spectroscopy measurements. The presence of oxygen vacancies was proven through correlated XPS, TGA, Raman spectroscopy and XRD analyses, with the introduction of oxygen vacancies leading to an expanded interlayer region. Four-point probe measurements provided evidence of increased electronic conductivity due to the incorporation of carbon, and cyclic voltammetry-based charge storage mechanism analyses revealed increases in ion transport kinetics due to oxygen vacancy formation. The MoO_[3-x]/C electrode that was hydrothermally treated in the presence of chemically preintercalated dopamine and 50[mu]L of ethanol showed the highest discharge capacity and capacity retention of 243 mAh g⁻¹ and 99%, respectively, after 100 cycles at 1,000 mA g⁻¹; and the best rate capability, with a discharge capacity of 214 mA g⁻¹ at 2,000 mA g⁻¹. Tuning the oxygen vacancy concentration is critical, as excessive concentrations of these point defects leads to structural instability and poor capacity retention. This work demonstrates the combined potential of carbon and oxygen vacancies in moderate concentrations to enhance the charge storage properties of transition metal oxides. The strategies developed in this study offer a path to the development of promising materials for high-rate, high-capacity, and long-duration electrochemical energy storage technologies.
Interpretación neoconstitucional del derecho al libre desarrollo de la personalidad: una reflexión sobre la política pública del consumo de cigarrillo en los establecimientos penitenciarios y carcelarios de Colombia
Authors: Sierra Pajoy Luis Alberto , Osorio Muñoz José Luis
Published: August 2023

This article establishes that the Colombian Constitutional Court bases a substantial interpretation and definition of the right to the free development of personality on a public policy of liberal lineage, sponsored by the paradigm of the new constitutionalism. The contextual framework in which this hypothesis is developed is the Republic of Colombia, where judgment T-479 of 2015 was issued. It is concluded that there are minimal moral commitments between the State and its citizens, beyond the simple maintenance of public order preached by liberal neutrality. For example, the impact of public policy on cigarette consumption in prisons configures commitments that should be met by the State. To achieve the objective of this work, a type of descriptive legal study is used, allowing for the delimitation of the object of analysis. Through deduction as a method, a tool is utilized that enables concrete conclusions to be reached regarding the particular case of the sentence T-479 of 2015. The work aims to address the research problem of whether the neoconstitutionalist paradigm is a tool that allows the interpretation and substantial definition of the right to the free development of personality within the framework of the public policy of cigarette consumption in penitentiary establishments.

Authors: Jarasviriyagul Nakarin , Chanasriyotin Chayada
Published: August 2023

Background: Objective of the study was to compare tensile strength and time taken for wound closure using simple interrupted sutures, simple continuous sutures, and staples sutures.
Methods: Swine skin tissue was cut into pieces of 2×6 cm and were divided into 3 groups according to skin closure technique: simple interrupted sutures (Nylon 5-0), simple continuous sutures (Nylon 5-0), and staples suture. All sutures, three equal knots in one piece, were performed by a single surgeon. Time taken for the approximation of each sample was recorded in second (S). Tensile strength was measured in newton unit (N) by pulling apart until suture separation using a tensiometer. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and subgroup analysis using Bonferroni correction was used to determine differences between groups.
Results: Of 190 total pairs of skin tissue, the mean±SD times for skin approximation were 144.86±22.67 s for simple interrupted sutures, 96.19±17.64 s for simple continuous sutures, and 12.90±3.18 s for staples sutures (p<0.001). The corresponding mean±SD of maximum tensile strengths in each group were 29.04±10.72 N, 18.85±5.45 N, and 56.41±19.56 N, respectively (p<0.001).
Conclusions: Our study showed that the use of staples for skin approximation took the least operative time and achieved the highest maximum tensile strength.

Authors: Jagatheesan S. , John Nikhil
Published: August 2023

Background: Acute pancreatitis is a prevalent gastrointestinal illness leading to hospitalizations in India, treated with rest, fluids, and analgesia. This study aimed to compare minimalistic and standard treatments for mild and moderate acute pancreatitis at Government Thanjavur Medical College. The outcome of patients with these conditions was assessed.
Methods: Conducted from July 2020 to July 2022, the randomized controlled trial enrolled acute pancreatitis patients, classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on the Revised Atlanta criteria. All mild and moderate cases were included and randomly assigned to two groups. Group one received early oral diet, hydration, and analgesia, omitting somatostatin analogues and antibiotics. Group two underwent comprehensive management. The outcomes of 130 patients, including those during the COVID-19 peak, were analyzed.
Results: No significant difference was found in the outcomes of patients with mild and moderate pancreatitis between the two treatments. All patients showed improvement during their hospital stay. Evaluation included hospital stay duration, sepsis development, and occurrence of local/systemic complications. Among them, three patients progressed to severe pancreatitis, with one fatality.
Conclusions: For mild and moderate pancreatitis, a minimalistic approach yielded comparable outcomes to active management. However, severe pancreatitis should follow existing guidelines, emphasizing prompt management of complications and systemic organ support.

Authors: M. Juan P. Silva , H. Samantha J. De La Cruz , Lara Luis Francisco Sanchez
Published: August 2023

There are multiple causes of non-variceal gastrointestinal bleeding, some more commonly diagnosed than others. Therefore, the finding of a cavernous hemangioma in the jejunum should make us consider patients who present with anemic syndrome due to occult gastrointestinal bleeding, once the more common pathologies have been ruled out, this after extensive studies, including upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, imaging studies and some cases endoscopic capsule. It is described that cavernous hemangiomas account for 0.05% of gastrointestinal neoplasms and up to 7-10% of benign tumors of the small intestine. They can also be found in up to 7.7% of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding.

Published: August 2023

Breast cancer is the most prevalent oncological pathology today; however, it is a broad pathology with different presentations according to the histological and molecular type. Metaplastic triple negative breast cancer is rare and has an aggressive presentation. We present this case given the low frequency of cases. We also present our management and outcomes. We present the case of an 85-year-old patient with an ulcerated exophytic mass in the right breast with progressive growth. The initial study was a biopsy, which evidence a triple negative invasive ductal breast carcinoma. Additional studies were negative for metastasis. The initial treatment was a surgical procedure, since the patient rejects initial management with chemotherapy. The pathology of the surgical piece confirms a metaplastic triple negative breast cancer. The patient has an adequate postoperative clinical evolution. Later she is taken to radiotherapy. At 3-month follow-up, the patient had adequate response. We present this case to create awareness of this type of cancer. This type of cancer must be known and suspected when dealing with a patient with triple negative breast cancer in order to carry out timely treatment, mainly with surgical management.

Authors: Godhani Meet Rajeshbhai , Kandoi Nilay Kaushik
Published: August 2023

A 65 years old married female patient presented to us with chief complaints of dull aching back pain, radiating upto left thigh since 1 year. MRI pelvis revealed a large heterogeneous solid lesion in retroperitoneum in the paravertebral region. Intraoperatively, the mass was encasing the Left Common Iliac Vein which was lighted. Since, the presentation was chronic the venous collaterals in the left lower limb was already formed and there was no need for venous reconstruction. The Left lower limb did not suffer any complications and the patient was discharged on 10th post operative day. When there is chronic obstruction of Common Iliac Vein, usually venous collaterals develops and the lower limb can be salvaged without venous reconstruction.

Authors: Daniel Akshatha , Peaty James
Published: August 2023

Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the type of Lapidus fixation method used in Leeds Teaching Trust Hospital that produces the best post-operative radiographical measurements.
Methods: Thirty-five patients who underwent the Lapidus procedure were reviewed. Pre-operative and post-operative X-rays were measured to obtain angles; hallux valgus angle (HVA), first intermetatarsal angle (IMA), distal metatarsal articulate angle (DMA), meary angle (MA), and metatarsal declination angle (MDA). The fixation groups compared were dorso-medial plate vs dorsal plate vs medial plate and plate-single screw versus plate-crossed screw. The change in angle (Δ-angles) between pre-operative and post-operative were measured and the groups were compared. The fixation method that resulted in the largest Δ-angles and is statistically significant will be regarded as a superior fixation type within that group.
Results: Groups with plate-single screw fixation showed a statistically significant (p<0.05) larger change in distal metatarsal articulate angle compared to plate-crossed screw fixation. Dorso-medial plate showed largest Δ-angles in the plate group although none were statistically significant.
Conclusions: Fixation systems with single-screw result in better radiographical measurements compared to crossed-screws, significantly with the distal metatarsal articular angle. Dorso-medial plates result in better radiographical measurements followed by dorsal plate and then medial plate. However, these findings need validation with a randomized controlled trial before being generalized.

Background: Neuromuscular disease (NMD) is a condition due to abnormality or damage to muscles and nerves causing painful symptoms. Symptomatic management involves use of conventional painkillers, but desirable relief is not achieved due to multimodal pathophysiology of disease. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of Fibroset™ tablets in subjects with neuromuscular pain.
Methods: Subjects with neuromuscular pain, previously unsatisfied with standard therapies, were enrolled. Subjects were advised to take Fibroset™ one tablet BID for 2 weeks with their standard therapy. Efficacy was evaluated on pain, stiffness, swelling, weakness, tenderness, and difficulty in activity of daily living (ADL) as per the visit schedule. Tolerability of therapy was also evaluated.
Results: 59 patients were enrolled in study and 46 patients were included in the final analysis. Fibroset™ supplementation significantly reduced all evaluated parameters (p<0.05 vs baseline). The mean pain score from 2.50 to 0.89, while mean stiffness score was reduced to 0.55 from 1.87 at end of study. The mean swelling score was reduced to 0.81 from 2.04, while the mean weakness score was reduced to 0.64 from baseline score of 1.79. The mean tenderness score was reduced from baseline score of 1.90 to 0.65 and the mean ADL score was reduced to 0.63 from baseline score of 2.00. No treatment related side effects were observed.
Conclusions: Fibroset™ is a potentially effective and safe therapy for subjects with neuromuscular pain. It can be used to reduce symptoms in patients with unsatisfactory results with conventionally standard care therapy.

Published: August 2023

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, is one of the most common injuries occurring in young active patients. Regarding pediatric group, ACL avulsion is the most common form of injury in contrast to adults, whose injury pattern is described as mid-substance injury. Tibial avulsion of ACL is the most common form of avulsion in pediatrics, while osteochondral femoral avulsion is considered rare entity. Our case report is about a 13-year-old pediatric male patient, sustained injury over his right knee during soccer game in March 2023. Immediately after injury, patient described having giving way, associated with severe pain. 2 days after initial injury, patient and his family noticed that his giving way continued to occur. Upon presentation to clinic, physical examination raised suspicion to have ACL injury, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) confirmed osteochondral femoral origin avulsion of ACL. After reviewing literature, decision was to go for ACL repair through femoral origin avulsion fracture fixation using suture pullout technique secured with two anchors fixed through lateral femoral cortex to avoid physis injury while reaming femoral and tibial tunnels used for graft reconstruction. On follow up, excellent functional outcome regarding knee stability and range of motion. We conclude that although femoral-sided repair using suture pullout technique carried higher risk of failure than ACL reconstruction, this method shows excellent functional outcome, and can be used in cases of osteochondral femoral avulsion in pediatric group to avoid risk of physis injury in such age group.

New developments in combating infection from biofilm forming bacteria of orthopedic implants
Authors: Sharma Pulkit , Ayaz Saqib , Gupta Sanjeev , Singh Rahul
Published: August 2023

Orthopedic device related infections (ODRI’s) represent a difficult to treat situation owing to their biofilm based nature. Biofilm infections once established are difficult to eradicate even with an aggressive treatment regimen due to their recalcitrance towards antibiotics and immune attack. The definitive treatment to eradicate the infections once a biofilm has established is surgical excision of the implant and thorough local debridement, but this carries a significant socioeconomic cost, the outcomes for the patient are often poor, and there is a significant risk of recurrence. The aim of the study was to provide a comprehensive insight into the newer anti-biofilm interventions (non-antibiotic approaches) and a better understanding of their mechanism of action essential for improved management of orthopedic implant infections.

Published: August 2023

The aim of the study is to analyze, systematize, and formulate scenarios for managing the integration of digital and intelligent technologies in the informatization of education based on the influence of the factors of the existing external environment. It was shown that digital transformation is a process of digital technology integration into all aspects of business activities, requiring fundamental changes in technology, culture, operations, and principles of creating new products and services. Simulation models of digital and intelligent technologies in informatization of education are proposed. Possible scenarios for the development of the education system are described: inertial and transformational. A new viable base scenario is proposed, which can be called a divergent, or school dilution scenario. It is illustrated that these three rather general scenarios show the possible place and role of digital and intellectual technologies in the changes taking place in the informatization of education today.

Authors: Cardona Hector , Lara-Alvarez Carlos , Parra Ezra , Villalba-Condori Klinge
Published: August 2023

A virtual tour is a guided tour facilitated through Virtual Reality (VR) technology. The primary focus of this paper is on Virtual Tours of Facilities (VTF) within academic contexts. These VTFs employ VR as a medium to provide immersive educational experiences within facilities, such as laboratories, industrial sites, and universities. Our study advances three hypotheses: firstly, that continuous variables distinguish VTFs; secondly, that VTFs offer distinct inherent advantages and disadvantages in comparison to conventional in-person visits; and thirdly, that various software types and developmental approaches for virtual tours can be systematically categorized based on their technical attributes and usability factors. Through a snowball rolling literature review method, we analyze 32 studies to identify current research trends, pinpoint gaps, and highlight areas of interest related to VTF. The ensuing analysis explores VTF applications, associated challenges, and potential technologies, culminating in a comprehensive and insightful overview of the field.

Paisagens-em-desastre no contexto da antropologia brasileira
Authors: Machini Mariana Luiza Fiocco
Published: August 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo demonstrar aproximações e possíveis ganhos analíticos e aplicados na associação entre as categorias de “desastre” e “paisagem”. O trabalho se inicia com dois exercícios de articulação entre as categorias: uma análise de imagens e uma pesquisa bibliométrica no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Capes e na rede Scielo, além de uma discussão geral sobre desastres no Brasil. A seguir, são realizadas explorações teóricas sobre os dois termos separadamente. Por fim, são trazidas interconexões entre as temáticas, entendendo-as como categorias analíticas que são potencializadas quando articuladas. Tal articulação pode ser profícua à prevenção e reparação de uma série de “eventos críticos” que vêm ocorrendo no Brasil e no mundo e tendem a se tornar cada dia mais frequentes.

Published: August 2023

Objectives: Although there have been several advances in post-solid organ transplantation immunosuppression medications over the last two decades, the long-term survival of renal allografts did not significantly improve. Renal allograft biopsy is a helpful tool for determining the cause of graft dysfunction and adjusting patient management.
Methods: Patients who received kidney transplantation and underwent allograft biopsy in Istinye University Hospital between January 2017 and January 2023 constituted the target population of this study. Demographic parameters, clinical data and biopsy indications, and histopathological assessment results of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: Overall, 74 patients were included. The histopathology results included acute T-Cell mediated rejection (TCMR) (n = 15, 20%), tubular atrophy/chronic allograft nephropathy (IFTA) (n = 11, 15%), calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) toxicity (n = 2, 3%), chronic antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) (n = 2, 3%), borderline pathology (n = 10, 13.5%), normal histology (n = 5, 6.5%), transplant glomerulopathy (TG) (n = 5, 6.5%), acute ABMR (n = 4, 5%), acute tubular necrosis (n = 7, 9%), polyomavirus nephropathy (n = 3, 4%) and non-specific changes (n = 10, 13.5%). The C4d was positive in 12% (n = 9) of the graft biopsies. In 73% (n = 54) of cases, the treatment strategy was changed based on biopsy results. Among all patients, 19 (25.6%) lost their grafts during follow-up.
Conclusions: According to the histopathological analysis results, acute TCMR, IFTA, and borderline pathology were the most common causes of renal graft dysfunction. Renal allograft biopsy led to a remarkable change in treatment strategies in a significant number of cases.

Published: August 2023

Objectives: Hyponatremia is known to increase mortality and morbidity in adult patients. However, the significance of hyponatremia in critically ill pediatric patients is unknown, unlike in adults. We tried to determine the prevalance of hyponatremia in critically ill children and whether the severity of hyponatremia contributes to hospital stay and mortality.
Methods: The results of 190 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit between April 2014 and April 2017 were analyzed.
Results: Eighty-six (45.3%) patients developed hyponatremia at the time of hospitalization, and Hospital‑Acquired Hyponatremia (HAH) developed in 46 (24.2%) patients during the hospitalization. Fifty-eight (30.5%) patients were normonatremic. The patients in the HAH group were significantly more septic (p = 0.015). The duration of intensive care hospitalization was significantly longer in the HAH group (p < 0.001) and significantly less in the normonatremic group (p = 0.008). Total mortality was 41% (n = 78). There was no difference between the groups regarding mortality (p = 0.4). However, the degree of hyponatremia was associated with mortality. Mortality was 24.1% in mildly hyponatremic patients, 45.6% in moderate patients, and 58.8% in severe patients (OR: 2.636, 95% CI: 1.189-5.842; OR: 4.490, 95% CI:1.439-14.008, p = 0.01). We discovered that as hyponatremia severity increased, so did the length of stay in the intensive care unit, the need for invasive ventilation, and the need for vasoactive drugs (p = 0.009, p = 0.018, and p = 0.006, respectively).
Conclusions: Unlike adults, the prognostic value of hyponatremia in terms of mortality has not been determined in critically ill children. However, as the severity of hyponatremia increased, it was seen that the length of stay in the intensive care unit and mortality increased.

Published: August 2023

Klinični farmacevti so del zdravstvenega tima že več let, je pa število zaposlenih kliničnih farmacevtov po bolnišnicah zelo različno, zato se je postavilo vprašanje predvsem evalvacije dela kliničnih farmacevtov. V Splošni bolnišnici Murska Sobota smo evalvirali delo kliničnih farmacevtov po oddelkih od 1. 1. 2020 do 31. 12. 2020. V analizo so bile vključene storitve treh kliničnih farmacevtk v SBMS. V enem letu je bilo vnesenih 8523 različnih intervencij. Spremljalo se je 30 različnih intervencij ter dodatno še prisotnost na raportih ali vizitah z ostalim zdravstvenim osebjem. Med intervencijami je bil najpogosteje pripravljen pregled terapije bolnika na oddelku (1979 krat), pregled interakcij med pregledanimi zdravili (1859 krat) ter pregled zgodovine zdravljenja z zdravili in prehranskimi dopolnili ob sprejemu (1785 krat). Evalvacija dela kliničnih farmacevtov v bolnišnici je pomemben korak k spremljanju dela, dobrodošla bo še nadgradnja tega sistema z naknadnim merjenjem kakovosti opravljenih storitev.

Topološki defekti se pojavijo ob faznih prehodih, pri katerih pride do zloma simetrije in so vseprisotni v naravi. Okolje, v katerem jih najlažje lahko preučujemo, so nematski tekoči kristali. Nematske strukture opišemo na mezoskopski skali s tenzorskim ureditvenim parametrom in določimo ravnovesna stanja z numerično minimizacijo proste energije. V sistem vsiljujemo topološke defekte preko robnih pogojev na mejnih površinah. Najprej pokažemo, da se že z vsiljevanjem enega defekta lahko vzpostavijo različna ravnovesna stanja glede na debelino celice. V primeru vsiljevanja večih defektov na spodnji mejni površini lahko v sistemu vzpostavimo ravnovesna stanja z »nenabitimi« linijskimi defekti. Z vsiljevanjem 4x4 kvadratne mreže defektov lahko v sistemu vzpostavimo kompleksne vzorce nenabitih linijskih defektov, kjer jih je 18 kvantitativno in 7 kvalitativno različnih. Prikažemo, da lahko z uporabo zunanjega električnega polja reverzibilno prehajamo iz enega vzorca v drugega. Prikazani sistemi bi se lahko uporabili v multistabilnih optičnih prikazovalnikih in prevezljivih nanožičkah.

Miasto kurort Kołobrzeg w drodze do zmiany granic, przebudowy układu transportowego oraz rozszerzenia profilu gospodarczego
Authors: Miedziński Mariusz
Published: August 2023

Pandemia COVID-19 bardzo mocno odbiła się na funkcjonowaniu miast i obszarów o silnie rozwiniętych i dominujących funkcjach turystycznych i uzdrowiskowych. Największe polskie uzdrowisko i jedno z największych w kraju centrów turystycznych podczas trwania pandemii wykorzystało szansę, jaką dały działalność portu morskiego oraz bardzo silnego lokalnego sektora deweloperskiego. Doświadczenie kryzysowe, jakim była pandemia COVID-19, zmotywowało mieszkańców, przedsiębiorców i władze do podjęcia zdecydowanych czynności zmierzających do zmiany dotychczasowego profilu gospodarczego i funkcjonalnego Kołobrzegu. Lata 2019–2022 upłynęły zatem na opracowywaniu i wdrażaniu do realizacji koncepcji zmiany granic administracyjnych, przebudowy i poprawy wewnętrznej i zewnętrznej dostępności komunikacyjnej, a także rozpoczęciu starań o rozwój portu morskiego i nowych nieturystycznych funkcji miasta. Kołobrzeg ma szansę stać się po pandemii znaczącym wielofunkcyjnym miastem średniej wielkości o silnej i zdywersyfikowanej gospodarce z wciąż dominującą funkcją turystyczno-uzdrowiskową. Rozszerzenie granic miasta, wprowadzenie nowych funkcji, przebudowa kolei i portu z dalszą poprawą dostępności komunikacyjnej to najbardziej przełomowe działania służące podtrzymaniu i dalszemu wzrostowi znaczenia Kołobrzegu jako największego i najważniejszego obok Gdańska ośrodka turystycznego na polskim wybrzeżu.

Published: August 2023

Celem opracowania jest identyfikacja oddziaływania pandemii COVID-19 na poziom i charakter uczestnictwa w turystyce mieszkańców Retkini – jednego z naj-większych osiedli mieszkaniowych w Łodzi. Wpływ ten zbadano poprzez porównanie poziomu i charakteru uczestnictwa w turystyce w okresie pandemii (w 2020 r.) z okresem ją poprzedzającym (w 2019 r.). Badania oparto na ankiecie internetowej mającej charakter wywiadu pogłębionego. Ankieta zawierała 18 pytań faktograficznych, 10 pytań natury behawioralnej, które dotyczyły opinii respondentów na temat wpływu pandemii na ich życie i zachowania turystyczne, oraz 7 pytań metryczki charakteryzujących respondentów od strony demograficznej i społeczno-ekonomicznej. Na podstawie zarejestrowanych zmian w poziomie i charakterze uczestnictwa w turystyce w latach 2019–2020 oraz wyrażonych w ankiecie opiniach określono różnice w zachowaniach turystycznych badanych mieszkańców Retkini spowodowane pandemią oraz wskazano na zakres podejmowanych przez nich działań ochronnych. Otrzymane wyniki potwierdzają podobne zmiany w ogólnych trendach zachowań turystycznych, na które wpływ miała pandemia, odnotowane w wielu dotychczasowych badaniach, jednak z pewnymi różnicami. Wskazują też na ograniczone podejmowanie przez respondentów z osiedla mieszkaniowego Retkinia w Łodzi działań ochronnych rejestrowanych w uczestnictwie i charakterze podróży turystycznych.

Published: August 2023

Background: Long term fertilizer experiment was initiated during 1972 under All India Coordinated Research project with soybean - wheat cropping system at the Research Farm of Department of Soil Science, JNKVV, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India. The present study was taken during 2017 and 2018 in soybean crop. Methods: The present investigation was conducted with eight treatments i.e. 50% NPK, 100% NPK, 150% NPK, 100% N alone, 100% NP, 100% NPK + farmyard manure (FYM) @ 5 t ha-1 yr-1, 100% NPK (-S) and unfertilized plot (control), replicated four times in a randomized block design Result: A significant increase in soil organic carbon was recorded with 100% NPK + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 over control plot. The availability of N, P, K, S, soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) and soil (SMBN) increased significantly with the integrated application of fertilizers and FYM over imbalance application fertilizer or control. Further, the conjoint use of fertilizers and FYM was also significantly superior to other treatments in terms of activities of soil enzymes like dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and β-glucosidase.

Published: August 2023

When discussing the exercise of teaching in basic education, the arguments linked to the specificities of early childhood education, elementary school and high school are expressive, as well as the language adaptations that must occur at each stage. EJA also requires the same premises of this debate, requiring exclusive training for teachers working in this modality. The main objective of this study is to analyze how the Licentiate Degree courses in Chemistry at the federal institutions IFRJ and UFRJ have prepared graduates to work in EJA. This research, of a qualitative nature, was developed from a bibliographic review and a documental analysis. For this, a theoretical explanation was made regarding the training of teachers for EJA, in addition to dedicating part of the work to specifically address the training of Chemistry teachers. Subsequently, disciplines aimed at education and teaching of Chemistry at the aforementioned institutions were researched and categorized. Then, having as a reference the Pedagogical Projects of the Courses and their curricular matrices, the syllabi of these disciplines were analyzed, seeking to verify how EJA has been contemplated in these degrees. As a result, it was concluded that advances in relation to the inclusion of studies on EJA in undergraduate courses are slow, through the offer of optional subjects for EJA.
