Published: July 2024

Probiotics are live-friendly microorganisms that can confer a health benefit on the host if it is consumed in sufficient amounts. Water kefir is a probiotic-rich fermented beverage that contains multi-species of live cultures. Brown sugar and palm sugar were used for water kefir fermentation due to their high sucrose and mineral contents. The objective of this study was to determine the probiotic growth pattern of water kefir and to evaluate the physicochemical parameters, including the pH changes, lactic acid content, reducing sugar content, and total soluble solids. The fermented water kefir was collected at every 6-hour interval, until the end of 72 hours of fermentation. The growth curve was determined by enumerated probiotics on De Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe (MRS) agar, Yeast Extract-Peptone-Dextrose (YPD) agar, and Gluconobacter (GM) agar plates, respectively. MRS, YPD, and GM agar plates were used to enumerate lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and acetic acid bacteria, respectively. The result showed increased probiotic growth as fermentation time increased with different phases observed from the growth curve. The stationary phase of probiotics was recorded at 30-42 h and was recommended as the optimal harvesting point. Besides, longer fermentation time produced lower pH values and lower total soluble solids while higher lactic acid and higher reducing sugars. At the end of fermentation, the concentration of lactic acid and reducing sugars were 2.16 ± 0.09 g/L and 13.66 ± 0.14 mg/mL, respectively. In conclusion, probiotics from water kefir fermentation are suggested to be best harvested between 30-42 hours and can be used for self-consume or downstream processing.

Published: July 2024

Dental caries affects around 36% of the world's population and results in the loss of primary teeth in about 530 million youngsters. It is described as the loss of the enamel layer of the tooth by acids generated by the activity of cariogenic bacterium such as Streptococcus mutans on carbohydrates. This study aims to identify bioactive endophytic actinomycetes as an antibacterial agent against S. mutans DSM 20523 and to identify the bioactive endophytic actinomycetes using the 16S rRNA sequencing approach. To determine the percentage zone of inhibition, three endophytes at 10-day-old culture have been streaked onto ISP2. Then, S. mutans was streaked perpendicular to the endophytes. Crude extracts from three endophytes have been prepared by using four different types of media namely Tryptic Soy broth, Kings B, International Streptomyces Project Medium No.1 (ISP1) and Starch Casein broth. These crude extracts proceeded to undergo disk diffusion and MIC assays against S. mutans. All three endophytes from streaked plates with the highest percentage zone of inhibition were identified using the 16S rRNA gene molecular approach for characterisation. Endophytic actinomycetes which were isolated from Hopea ferrea showed potent antibacterial activity against S. mutans. All endophytic actinomycetes isolates from streak plates showed good inhibitory activity against the S. mutans. The highest percentage of inhibition was shown by the PT9-13S2 isolate followed by PT9-8S2 and PT9-13W2. Furthermore, crude extracts of PT9-8S2 and PT9-13W2 (the highest ZOI) from TSB media showed inhibitory activities against S. mutans, from disk diffusion as well as minimum inhibitory assays. From the 16S rRNA molecular approach, endophytic actinomycetes PT9-8S2 was closely related to Streptomyces collinus while PT9-13S2 and PT9-13W2 were closely related to Streptomyces malachitospinus. From this study, endophytic actinomycetes showed a promising source as antibacterial agents against cariogenic bacterium S. mutans which is the main causative agent of dental caries.

Published: July 2024

Polypropylene (PP) is a major environmental problem in Malaysia because it has been ranked the 28th highest plastic polluter in the world (at 56kg per capita per year) in 2021. Landfilling is one of the most common ways of dealing with plastic because leachate may cause increased probability of cancer and neurological impairment in humans. The use of fungi in mycoremediation makes the process eco-friendly. In addition, fungi have a vast hyphal network and broader metabolic competence. The objective of this study was to investigate fungi remediation of PP via the detection of manganese peroxidase and laccase activity in Bushnell Haas Broth (BHB). PP degradation activity was measured via the activity of laccase and manganese peroxidase at a wavelength of 450nm and 610nm, respectively. Of the 17 species of fungi isolated from the Jeram landfill, 12 species of fungi showed growth in BHB with PP as the sole carbon source. Penicillium sp. 1, Aspergillus sp., Penicillium levitum, Talaromyces louisianensis, Aspergillus tamarii, Cunninghamella bertholletiae, Penicillium sp. 2 and Aspergillus niger demonstrated high and longer laccase activity, and these fungi could be considered as potential fungi. P. levitum, P. janthinellum, Penicillium sp, and T. louisianensis have high and longer MnP activity. In summary, P. levitum and T. louisianensis have a high and long duration of MnP and laccase activity in degrading PP, which can be developed and integrated into plastic waste management.
Encapsulated Phage Cocktail: The Destined Environmental Biocontrol Agent For Pathogenic Leptospira
Authors: Fang Kokxin , Md Nor Norefrina Shafinaz
Published: July 2024

Leptospirosis is one of the often-neglected fatal zoonotic diseases endemic to most developing countries. The disease transmits mostly through contact of rodent urine contaminated with pathogenic Leptospira in the environment. This review discusses the need for environmental bioremediation of these pathogens and the reasons phage could very well be employed for that purpose. With a few modifications like encapsulation and cocktail formulation, the functionality and stability of phage as the natural predator could easily be heightened. Host specificity, ability to auto-dose and co-evolve along its hosts, effectiveness against biofilms and independence of its production are some of the promising features of a phage. Here we also highlight the interactions and interference among phages in a cocktail, transduction probability, and hypothetic usage of phage lysin in biocontrolling pathogenic Leptospira.

The risk of parasitism in different groups of small ruminants depends on intrinsic, environmental, and management factors. Although there are different views regarding the sex-related risk of endoparasites in small ruminants, females are undoubtedly the most affected group in the flock. Moreover, whether the greater sex-specific risk of parasitic infection observed in female goats in field situations is associated with their production or other intrinsic factors is still under scrutiny. In this paper, cross-sectional epidemiological data collected from selected small ruminant flocks were analysed to determine the distribution, risk, and burden of endoparasites in young, nonpregnant, pregnant, and lactating female goats. There was a higher incidence of gastrointestinal parasites (88.4%, 95%CI= 83.01-92.19) than blood protozoa (54.0%, 95%CI= 46.85-60.92), with a significant difference among the groups. A higher risk of gastrointestinal parasites was observed in lactating (OR = 46.667, P = 0.001) and pregnant (OR = 9.167, P = 0.003) groups. A greater risk of blood protozoan infection was also observed in the pregnant (OR = 5.971, P = 0.0104) and lactating (OR = 3.600, P = 0.0528) groups. A significant increase in the mean faecal egg count of the lactating (2.72 ± 0.76) and pregnant (2.34 ± 0.97) groups (P < 0.05) was accompanied by a significantly lower mean PCV in the lactating group (23.48 ± 4.838) than the kids (29.44 ± 6.13), or nonpregnant (27.80 ± 5.525) groups (P < 0.05). Thus, the pregnant and lactating female goats may experience a greater exposure risk and burden of endoparasites. Therefore, female goats may be selectively targeted for implementing nutritional management, controlled grazing, and selective anthelmintic treatment during pregnancy and lactation to save cost and minimise excessive use of anthelmintic.

Authors: Van An-Le , Nguyen Thai-Chung , Bui Huu-Toan , Dang Xuan-Ba , Nguyen Trung-Thanh
Published: July 2024

This work optimizes the current (I), voltage (V), flow rate (F), and arc gap (G) of the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) of the Ti40A titanium alloy to decrease the heat input (HI) and improve the ultimate tensile strength (TS) and micro-hardness (MH). The radial basis function network (RBFN) was utilized to present performance measures, while weighted principal component analysis (WPCA) and an adaptive non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (ANSGA-II) were applied to estimate the weights and generate optimal points. The evaluation via an area-based method of ranking (EAMR) was employed to determine the best solution. The results indicated that the optimal I, V, F, and G are 89 A, 23 V, 20 L/min, and 1.5 mm, respectively. The improvements in the TS and MH were 1.2 % and 19.8 %, respectively, while the HI was saved by 18.4 %. The RBFN models provided acceptable accuracy for prediction purposes. The ANSGA-II provides better optimality than the conventional NSGA-II. The HI, TS, and MH of the practical GTAW Ti40A could be enhanced using optimality. The optimization method could be utilized to deal with optimization problems for not only other GTAW operations but also other machining processes.
Exploring Awareness and Perception of Do Not Resuscitate Orders in A Saudi Arabian General Population
Authors: Basubrain Omar Sami
Published: July 2024

Background: Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders are crucial, yet often misunderstood, medical directives. This study investigated public understanding and attitudes towards DNRs in Saudi Arabia. This study investigated public understanding and attitudes towards Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A cross-sectional web survey was conducted among 416 Saudi residents aged 18 and above. The survey assessed knowledge, attitudes, and emotional responses related to DNR orders.
Results: Over half (65.7%) lacked sufficient understanding of DNRs, highlighting a knowledge gap. While 56.8% grasped the meaning, less than half saw DNRs as beneficial for reducing pain or easing burdens on loved ones, indicating mixed attitudes. Decision-making preferences varied, with 49.1% advocating for medical professionals' involvement and 31% favouring family decisions. Personal experiences influenced understanding, with those having a family member's DNR order exhibiting higher comprehension.
Conclusion: Significant knowledge gaps and mixed attitudes towards DNRs exist. Public education programs, improved patient communication, and culturally sensitive approaches are recommended to bridge this gap and empower individuals to make informed decisions.

Authors: Korankulangara Thufail , Katta Ajitha , Kirtania Mousami , Sulaiman Dahy
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Cancer poses numerous health-related threats to patients, significantly impacting their Quality of Life (QoL) and that of their caregivers. This systematic review aims to assess the prevalence and severity of QoL-related health issues among cancer survivors in India using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) framework. The review will explore the patients’ lived experiences that will ultimately manifest the importance of health-related QoL for cancer patients.
Method: The PRISMA guidelines were followed to conduct the review. PubMed, Embase, and Scopus were searched for eligible studies, resulting in the inclusion of 34 quantitative descriptive studies focusing on adult cancer patients in India.
Results: Most of the included studies reported low or below-average overall QoL of the patients. Factors such as pain, fatigue, emotional distress, social relationships, and financial burden significantly influenced overall QoL and its subdomains. Demographic factors (age, marital status, religion), cancer-related variables (stage, site, treatment type), and social determinants of health (education, information access) also played roles in affecting QoL. Due to study inconsistencies, conclusive comparisons were challenging.
Conclusion: The findings underscore the necessity for a comprehensive, culturally adapted approach to enhancing QoL, along with the development of standardized assessment tools and longitudinal study designs.
"Plant Breeders’ Rights, Farmers’ Rights and Food Security: Africa’s Failure of Resolve and India’s Wobbly Leadership"
Authors: Oguamanam Chidi
Published: July 2024

"Since 2000s, Africa and India severally rejected the notion that UPOV’s 1991 standard of Plant Breeders Rights (PBRs) is the only route to fulfil their obligations under Article 27 of the TRIPs Agreement. Objecting to the exclusive focus of the UPOV regime on formal plant breeders, African countries insisted on a holistic approach to plant breeders’ rights to include protection for rights of communities, farmers and their indigenous knowledge, innovation and practices. Consequently, under the African Union’s (AU) auspices, Africa proposed the Model Law for the Protection of the Rights of Local Communities and Breeders, and for Regulations of Access to Biological Resources. Self-evidently, the law not only recognises the centrality of the smallholder indigenous and local community farmers on the continent’s food production, it also underscores the interconnectedness of biodiversity conservation, farmers’ rights, traditional knowledge, access and benefit sharing over genetic resources within then emergent international regimes. Nearly two decades after, Africa’s resolve has proven to be fickle. The continent has reversed itself and fully embraced the UPOV regime. At about the same time as the Model Law, India enacted the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Act, 2001 – an instrument consistent with the spirit of Africa’s Model Law. Both regimes take into account the role of local farmers as the backbone of agricultural innovation, food production and food security in the developing world, including Africa and India, thereby further enhancing the idea of farmers’ rights in food and agriculture law and policy. This Article juxtaposes the circumstances around Africa’s failure of resolve and India’s wobbly experience over farmers’ rights. It calls attention to farmers’ rights as a site for a missed and yet potentially redeemable opportunity for both Africa and India to advance South-South solidarity for food security"
"The Changing Landscape of Intermediary Liability for E-Commerce Platforms: Emergence of a New Regime"
Authors: Majithia Vasundhara
Published: July 2024

As India becomes the fastest growing market for e-commerce in the world, it is also grappling with the issue of proliferation of counterfeits on e-commerce portals. India’s judicial system has awakened to this predicament and in a spate of judgements, has sought to evolve a mechanism balancing the rights of e-commerce platforms as intermediaries via-a-vis the rights of brand owners and public interest at large. This article explores the evolution of intermediary liability in India by examining its legal framework, as well as the jurisprudence developed by Indian courts in this regard. It traces the shift in this jurisprudence from the classical ‘free speech’ understanding to the ‘notice and takedown’ regime to a determination of whether e-commerce platforms qualified as ‘intermediaries’ in the first place. It concludes that while new jurisprudence evolved by Indian courts substantially clarifies the framework of intermediary liability vis-à-vis e-commerce platforms, several challenges lie ahead for both brand owners and e-commerce platforms in addressing this issue. It then seeks to understand these challenges in light of the policies proposed to regulate the e-commerce space, and finally recommends a self-regulatory mechanism to combat the online proliferation of counterfeits
"Picket Patents: Non-Working as an IP Abuse"
Authors: Ali Dr. Feroz
Published: July 2024

Patents picket when the patent holder practices the patent in certain jurisdictions but refuses to work the patent in others. The concept of patent picketing developed as a result of a shift from the representation of the working of an invention physically to the merely describing, effectively, the inventions in patent applications. Patent holders picket with their patents and demand a higher price, thereby not only preventing others from using their invention but also ensuring that the product is not made available in all markets. Such behaviour can be regarded as an intellectual property (IP) abuse when the non-working of a patent leads to deprivation of another patent locally. The issuance of a market-initiated compulsory licence may solve the problems linked with IP abuse arising out of patent picketing.
"The Conundrum of ‘Relevant Market’: Market Definition in India’s Complex TV Distribution Business"
Authors: Parthasarathi Vibodh
Published: July 2024

The universal problematic of market definition poses peculiar challenges in multi-lingual and fragmented media markets, like in India. This article engages with this problematic by taking up the case of the TV distribution market in India. Here, the rapidly expanding TV distribution business consists of two segments. The larger, wired Cable distribution segment, driven by over 1,000 large cable companies and over 50,000 last mile operators, accounts for 70 percent market share, or around 100 million TV homes. The rest 30 percent is occupied by the wireless segment, comprising 6 Direct to Home TV distributors. Amidst the heightened expansion of the TV distribution business during the last decade, we notice a series of cases at the Competition Commission of India (CCI) pertaining to ‘relevant market’. This paper provides a critical appraisal of CCI’s engagement with ideas of relevant geographical market and relevant product market during the first five years of such matters coming to it, i.e. between 2011 and 2015. Focussing on core concepts deployed in debating relevant markets, viz. substitutability and service area, the paper unravels conceptual and methodological challenges provoked by market definition in complex media landscapes such as India.
Telemedicinához kapcsolódó fogalmak rövid ismertetése és a távgyógytorna gyakorlati alkalmazásával kapcsolatos nemzetközi tapasztalatok áttekintése
Authors: Bacskai Katalin , Nagy Helga , Lám Judit
Published: July 2024

A SARS-CoV-19 pandémia következtében több olyan eszköz és módszer került fókuszba, amelyek megváltoztatták az egészségügyi ellátások folyamatát, amelyben a telemedicinának is fontos szerepe volt. A Covid-19-pandémia ideje alatt alkalmazott távgyógytorna módszerének alkalmazása hazánkban újdonságnak számított, viszont külföldön régóta alkalmazott módszer. A nemzetközi, valamint a Covid-19- pandémia ideje alatt szerzett tapasztalatok azt mutatják, hogy a hazai egészségügyi ellátórendszerben a távgyógytorna metodikáját a jövőben is érdemes alkalmazni. Azonban a téma és a távgyógytorna módszerének megértése érdekében fontos tisztázni a gyakorlatban alkalmazott definíciók magyar értelmezését is. A szakirodalmi áttekintésben több olyan fogalmat is találtunk, amelyeknek magyar értelmezésében zavar fordulhat elő. Ezért tanulmányunk elsődleges célja a telemedicinához és a távgyógytornához kapcsolódó fogalmak ismertetése. Ezt követően pedig részcélként tűztük ki a távgyógytornával kapcsolatos nemzetközi tapasztalatok rövid áttekintését. Tanulmányunkkal segíteni szeretnénk az egészségügyi szakdolgozók távegészségüggyel kapcsolatos ismereteinek bővítését.
Gyermekbetegek ellátása során alkalmazott hosszú távú centrális vénás kanül (port-a-cath) speciális ápolási kérdései
Authors: Strehó Virgínia
Published: July 2024

Célkitűzés: Magyarországon évente körülbelül 250-300 új daganatos gyermek beteg diagnosztizálása történik. A hosszú távú kezelés miatt hosszú távú vénás hozzáférés (port-a-cath) szükséges, ezzel elkerülhető a perifériás vénák gyakori szúrása. Ezek a katéterek használatosak a kemoterápiában, citosztatikus hígító kezelésben, valamint palliatív helyzetekben. A port-a-cath javítja az életminőséget. A vizsgálat célja a biztonságos betegellátás elősegítése egységes irányelvek kialakításával. Módszer: Elsősorban a 2018–2023 közötti időszakban megjelent szakirodalmi publikációk és irányelvek felhasználása történt, egységes eljárásrendek, protokollok keresése a port-a-cath ellátásával kapcsolatban. Eredmények: A vizsgálat során kiderül, hogy a korszerű ellátásban eltérések, hiányosságok mutatkoznak ezeknek az eszközöknek az ápolásával kapcsolatban, ami a katéterrel összefüggő szövődmények kialakulásához vezethet (például: CLABSI). Következtetés: A biztonságos betegellátás és a szövődmények elkerülése érdekében az ápolóknak tisztában kell lennie a fontosabb definíciókkal és a helyes eljárás menetével, amihez szükség van egységes irányelvekre.

Objetivo. Evaluar el impacto de una iniciativa de mejora realizada en los servicios de urgencias (SU) de una comunidad autónoma para reducir el uso de fármacos no recomendados en lactantes con bronquiolitis aguda (BA). Método. Estudio cuasi-experimental analítico del tipo “antes y después de una intervención”. Se incluyeron de forma retrospectiva todas las BA en niños # 12 meses atendidas en los SU de 24 hospitales públicos durante el mes de diciembre de dos periodos epidémicos: 2018 (preintervención) y 2019 (postintervención). Se recogieron variables epidemiológicas, clínicas, asistenciales y evolutivas. La intervención consistió en difundir material informativo y realizar actividades formativas previas al periodo epidémico. Resultados. Se incluyeron 7.717 episodios (2018: 4.007 y 2019: 3.710). No existieron diferencias en las características epidemiológicas y clínicas. El empleo de salbutamol en los SU descendió del 29,4% [intervalo de confianza del 95% (IC 95%): 28,8-30,8] en 2018 al 10,6% (IC 95%: 9,6-11,6) en 2019 (p < 0,001), el de adrenalina del 6,0% (IC 95%: 5,3-6,8) al 0,9% (IC 95%: 0,7-1,3) y el de suero salino hipertónico del 8,2% (IC 95%: 7,3-9,1) al 2,1% (IC 95%: 1,7-2,6) (p < 0,001). La prescripción al alta de salbutamol se redujo del 38,7% (IC 95%: 36,9-40,4) al 10,6% (IC 95%: 9,6-11,6) (p < 0,001). La tasa de ingreso y la tasa de readmisión no cambiaron y la mediana de tiempo de estancia en los SU se redujo 81 minutos [rango intercuartil (RIC) 44-138] a 66 (RIQ: 37-127) (p < 0,001). Conclusiones. La iniciativa de mejora ha conseguido disminuir la tasa de intervenciones terapéuticas no indicadas en BA.

Published: July 2024

The goal of entrepreneurship education is to help people develop their creative thinking skills from the ground up since this will help them develop a business perspective. Students who have an education in entrepreneurship will be better able to spot opportunities, take calculated risks to launch new businesses and build the self-assurance necessary to pursue their ideas for long-term financial security. Pakistan is deficient in the study of entrepreneurship, especially in secondary education. Because of this, the goal of the current study was to investigate teachers' perceptions of the need for teacher training programs in order to incorporate entrepreneurship education into secondary curricula and their views about entrepreneurship education in general. The study is qualitative in nature, and data were collected via semi-structured interviews with the ten secondary school teachers in District Rawalpindi using a convenient sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed via interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Results from the study indicated teachers’ positive perceptions towards entrepreneurship education in the secondary level curriculum, which required pieces of training and guidance. The study recommended particular workshops and contents in the curriculum for the development of students’ ideas about entrepreneurship education.

Introdução: A gravidez é um período marcado por várias mudanças na vida e no corpo da mulher. O estado fisiológico da gravidez afeta muitos aspectos hemodinâmicos, metabólicos e hormônios necessários para o crescimento requisitos deste processo. Objetivo: analisar a relevância do entendimento sobre a qualidade da assistência de enfermagem no paciente gestante e suas queixas no decorrer da gestação. Metodologia: revisão do tipo integrativa da literatura com abordagem descritiva, tendo a análise de conteúdo como a sua característica primordial, que sintetizou e agrupou os resultados obtidos em pesquisas importantes acerca do tema delineado em artigos anteriores, os critérios usados para inclusão das publicações científicas foram: fonte reconhecidamente da pesquisa, publicações que se relacionam com a temática escrita em português e nos últimos 05 anos. Critérios de exclusão: estudos duplicados nas diferentes bases de dados, todos os artigos de língua estrangeira. Resultados: ao interpretar os dados é possível criar duas categorias de análise. Vulnerabilidade das gestantes no pré-natal; Há pouca procura de aconselhamento pré-natal nos cuidados primários. Concluiu-se que os enfermeiros da consulta obstétrica de baixo risco ainda têm problemas em informar as grávidas para procurarem os cuidados de saúde primários durante a gravidez para iniciarem os cuidados pré-natais. Conclusão: Ao longo do texto, discutimos as queixas mais comuns, como náuseas e vômitos, dores nas costas, edema, entre outras, e enfatizamos a necessidade de uma abordagem holística e empática por parte dos profissionais de enfermagem. Além disso, ressaltamos a importância da educação e orientação às gestantes, fornecendo informações precisas sobre as causas e estratégias de manejo para cada sintoma.

Introdução: Ao analisar os quadros de Doença do Refluxo Gastroesofágico (DRGE), presente em 12% da população, e suas progressões, entende-se que a sua escolha terapêutica deve abarcar diversos fatores adversos. O refluxo não tratado ou tratado de forma inadequada pode evoluir para uma metaplasia no último terço esofágico, denominado Esôfago de Barrett (EB), presente em até 10% dos casos de DRGE grave, que aumenta a predisposição de desenvolver adenocarcinoma dessa região. A terapêutica de escolha aborda medidas comportamentais diárias associadas ao trato gastrointestinal; farmacológicas, lideradas pela utilização de Inibidores de Bombas de Prótons (IBP) e cirúrgicas, denominada fundoplicatura laparoscópica, na qual tem o intuito de restaurar o esfíncter esofágico inferior. Ademais, pacientes com EB, na sua maioria, têm indicação cirúrgica e estudos esclarecem que após o reparo da barreira anti-refluxo o risco do desenvolvimento dessa metaplasia regride, majoritariamente. Entretanto, não exclui a presença de progressão e a predisposição à displasia permanece existindo.

Published: July 2024

The paper presents a fully-fledged survey of the transformative power of AI-driven Machine Learning (ML) models in revolutionizing Human Resource Management (HRM) practices. The research investigates the new-age applications of such emerging technologies about talent identification, workforce planning, employee engagement, and personalized career development. It also looks at how natural language processing and sentiment analysis can become instrumental in the construction of an employee feedback system that is both engaging and transparent. The research also explores how ML algorithms are used to design tailor-made career development plans to ensure a proper match between individual aspirations and organizational needs. It further proceeds to elaborate on the integration of ML with human resource development in creating personalized learning and development programs to address the limitations of one-size-fits-all approaches to training. This comprehensive AI-driven talent framework, represented here, strongly proves its enhanced potential to improve employee engagement, organizational performance, and competitive advantage by its implementation and evaluation.

Published: July 2024

The evolution of the electronic characteristics of chemical bonds formed and broken along the path of the bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction at a tetrahedral central atom, which is the Tt = C, Si, Ge atom, is analyzed. For this purpose, the reaction paths of the step-by-step replacement of the chlorine atom with the phenyl fragment have been modeled, and the energy characteristics of the equilibrium initial, transition and nal states were obtained within the framework of DFT. For different reaction centers, which are atoms of the carbon group (Tt), changes in electron density distributions, shifts in the positions of the extremes of the total static and electrostatic potential for the forming C-Tt and breaking Tt-Cl bonds along the reaction path are compared. Quantitative criteria have been re ned that determine the region of existence of a typical noncovalent tetrel bond Tt...Cl, allowing it to be distinguished from a covalent one. Establishment of the properties of the transition state stabilizing tetrel bond may be useful for monitoring the ef cient synthesis of covalent organic framework precursors.

Autorki artykułu przedstawią zrealizowany w latach 2020-2021 program edukacyjno-wychowawczo-społeczny pt. COOLektura skierowany do młodzieży zagrożonej niedostosowaniem społecznym. Program oparty był w głównej mierze na metodzie projektu działania lokalnego na terenie warszawskiej Pragi-Południe, a także na dramie, metodzie wpływu osobistego i mentoringu. Głównymi celami programu były: twórcza, aktualna interpretacja lektury uwieczniona w formie filmu krótkometrażowego, doskonalenie przez uczniów umiejętności współpracy i poczucia współodpowiedzialności oraz pokonywania własnych ograniczeń, kształtowanie nawyku systematyczności i planowania działań. Wśród celów szczegółowych zaś należy wymienić: naukę umiejętności pisania scenariusza filmowego, wykorzystanie ukrytych talentów i potencjałów uczniów, odkrywanie oraz wzmacnianie mocnych stron uczniów, kształtowanie poczucia sprawczości i samodzielności, naukę poprzez zabawę. W programie udział wzięło 23 uczniów klasy 7 ze Szkoły Podstawowej nr 141 w Warszawie. W ramach programu uczniowie skorzystali ze wsparcia warsztatowego prowadzonego przez specjalistów w ramach współpracy z Centrum Aktywności Lokalnej. Powstały materiał filmowy stanowi obecnie materiał do analizy zarówno na lekcje języka polskiego, jak i na zajęcia z wychowawcą. Dzięki temu programowi uczniowie nie tylko nauczyli się praktycznej realizacji filmowej, lecz także ukazali, z czym stykają się i czego doświadczają zarówno w szkole, jak i poza jej terenem. Nakręcone przez uczniów filmy są zapisem pozbawionych cenzury obserwacji nastolatków na temat społeczeństwa XXI w. oraz problemów i zagrożeń, z jakimi współcześnie się stykają.
