The context of the environment is an important factor in developing teaching and learning activities. In society, there is a number of valuable cultural potential that is functional for student life. The potential wealth has not been used optimally in the world of education. Environmental education seeks not only emphasizes the doctrine and habituation. Environmental education seeks to apply the principles and methodology towards the character formation of students through an integrated curriculum developed at the school. Learning to use the environment is more contextual and more beneficial to the lives of students in the community. However, in general, teachers have not been made of planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning exploit the potential of the environment.

Published: February 2023

Final-year projects and dissertations undertaken by students at the end of their Bachelor degree courses are a topic of interest in many countries. This paper reasserts the importance of Final Year Projects and rethinks their role in the business school curriculum to equip students for employability and for the business world. 

While recognizing the strengths of the traditional research-based dissertation honors project, what are also needed are alternative types that provide students with a forward-looking experience and equip them to thrive in an uncertain, super-complex world (Barnett 2000; 2004).   

The paper discusses alternative methods for the Final Year Projects in business schools and recommends that business schools have student-run businesses, a consultancy practice and an entrepreneurship incubator. Students would then be exposed to real world problems and learn to take decisions. Supervisors would act as advisors and offer business coaching. The benefits of such projects and issues involved are discussed.

Authors: Vélez-Paez Jorge L. , Rueda-Barragán Fernando E. , Dueñas-Andrade Sarahí , Rodriguez-Morales Alfonso , Kyriakidis Nikolaos C.
Published: February 2023

Sepsis is defined as "an organic dysfunction secondary to the dysregulated response of the patient to an infection." This concept only reveals the tip of the iceberg, the clinical expression of organic failures, without understanding their basis, which is currently explained by cellular and molecular phenomena. Neutrophils are crucial pillars of early innate immune responses, and their fundamental function is phagocytosis. Additionally, neutrophils can degranulate upon activation, releasing various antimicrobial enzymes and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and form neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), whose purpose is to trap pathogens by releasing their "sticky" nuclear content; the presence of activated platelets amplifies this phenomenon. NETosis is a beneficial process; however, deregulated, it can be detrimental, inducing "immunothrombosis" and compromising the microcirculation, thereby increasing the clinical severity of sepsis. The purpose of this review is to clearly describe the pathophysiological role therapeutic target of NETs, their interaction with platelets in sepsis, and their potential as therapeutic targets, since it has been shown that a therapeutic approach aimed at curbing NETs would be beneficial.

Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes have a significant impact on climate changes in the local to global scales. In this paper, we studied the impact of LULC changes of Modhupur Sal forest and its adjoining areas in Bangladesh on LST using multi temporal satellite data. Seasonal and temporal values of LST were determined for three decades from 1989 to 2019. It was seen from the LULC study that the Sal forest area has changed a lot over the time period. Through the long-term time series data, it is found that with the change of LULC, LST of the area has increased. An inverse correlation between the NDVI and LST has been observed from 1989 to 2009 in winter and 1993 to 2011 in summer. But in 2019, both in winter and summer, with the increase of NDVI value of the area, LST was seen to increase.

This prompted many companies to want to adopt best practices to reach their goals, therefore any work organization should have a clear vision of what it wants to achieve, for what purpose, and how? Building Information Modeling (BIM) around the world has proven its ability to solve all the problems facing engineering projects. Unfortunately, AEC companies despite all that great value did not use BIM. For many reasons, mainly: there is no comprehensive descriptive approach that explains how to apply it and a mechanism that shows how to measure and develop it within companies, in addition to their fear of adopting modern technologies that push them to need new engineering competencies because of not realizing its importance. The purpose of this research is to propose a methodology to measure and develop BIM maturity in Syria in general. In addition, to assess the level of maturity of our institutional BIM through the BIMM maturity matrix in particular. This is done by applying the most important models for measuring maturity around the world on a number of Syrian AEC companies in the private and public sectors. Analyzing the performance of BIM in it, comparing the results, and assessing the level of institutional maturity. Then conducting analyses and comparisons based on these conclusions and making additional recommendations and proposals to develop the matrix in accordance with practical reality in order to reach the optimal and integrated level for construction projects

The major problem facing the fish processing industry is reducing the marination process time and increasing the uptake of marinade. Previously, a marination bath has been utilized for this purpose with different combinations of acid and salt, which causes physiochemical changes in fish texture. The vacuum marination method seems to be a good way to solve this problem. In this study, the effect of the vacuum marination process was studied on the marination of sole fish. Two varieties of fish (fresh and frozen) and three levels of time (10, 20 and 30 minutes) were studied for their effect on marinade uptake. The marinade was used in the ratio of 1.2:10 spices to meat, respectively. Fresh samples were weighted, vacuum packed, and stored at 4–7 0C, whereas frozen samples were stored at -20 0C for 24 hours prior to marination and thawed at room temperature. After marination, percentage uptake, retention, and cooking loss of the marinade were calculated. It was concluded from the yield of marinated products that about 80% of marination takes place in the first 10 minutes of the process. After 10–20 minutes, there was no significant difference (p>0.05), and only 1–2% of the marinade was consumed. The frozen samples show significantly (p≤ 0.05) higher yields and marinade uptake. After marination, the samples were stored at 0–4 0C and fried in vegetable oil until the center reached 70 0C. Cooking loss for this process was non-significant for both varieties of fish as it depends on the water-holding capacity of the meat, which remains the same for both cases. The use of vacuum marination reduced the marination time significantly from 4-6 hours to 10 minutes, and marinade uptake was improved. This process can be used as an alternative to traditional marination techniques.

Background: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic, progressive, high risk precancerous condition of the oral mucosa seen primarily in the Asian countries. But in recent years, more severe form of the disease in younger age group has been observed. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of the various risk factors with the severity of the disease.
Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was done in 152 diagnosed cases of OSMF over a period of 22 months. The detailed demographics, history related to the duration and frequency of tobacco chewing habits were recorded and clinical examination was carried out. The observations were tabulated and analysed using Chi-square/Fisher exact test through software R version 3.6.3.
Results: Out of 152 cases of OSMF, 129 were males and 23 were females. The most common age group affected with the OSMF was 21-40 years and males were the majority affected. The duration and frequency of the gutkha/supari/tobacco consumption was significantly associated with the severity stages of the OSMF (p=0.05).Mouth opening was decreased as the severity of the OSMF increases.
Conclusions: The duration and frequency of the chewing habits were associated with the severity of the disease. As the younger age group was mostly affected with the stage III of OSMF, young people need to receive health education regarding prevention of OSMF.
The Paradox of Oily Malnourished Skin
Authors: Petric Domina
Published: February 2023

Oily skin (seborrhea) is a common cosmetic problem that occurs when oversized sebaceous glands produce excessive amounts of sebum giving the appearance of shiny and greasy skin. Oily skin is at the same time malnourished because excessive amounts of sebum wash out the protective and hydrating skin factors, such as natural moisturizing factor, and therefore dual treatment is necessary, which consists of meticulous cleaning of the excessive sebum and profound nourishment of the skin. Skin microcirculation plays a significant role in the skin homeostasis. Dermal venules are important for waste removal from the skin, whilst dermal arterioles are important for the transportation of gases and nutrients towards the skin. Improvement of the skin microcirculation might be a useful tool in the maintenance of healthy skin and additional treatment for oily skin, acne, accelerated aging and wrinkles. Demodicosis causes the vicious circle of the oily skin: excessive amounts of sebum lead to more severe demodicosis, which then aggravates acne and increases the production of the sebum.
Recent clinical concepts and techniques of Caries excavation: A review update
Authors: KUMAR NEERAJ , KUMARI RICHA
Published: February 2023

Over the past years operative treatment of carious lesions has often resulted in considerable removal of dentinal tissue and tooth structure through the rotary instruments like hand-pieces and burs. In the recent years newer techniques for excavation of carious dentine have been developed in an attempt to minimize this excessive tissue loss. The gradual evolution of caries excavation techniques has changed the concepts of cavity preparation in numerous ways throughout the past two decades. Caries excavation has become more efficient and less time consuming now a days, however some inherent drawbacks of the rotary instruments have remained like discomfort to patients, need for local anesthesia, and pressure and thermal effects to the pulp which might damage the pulp etc. The purpose of this article is to perform a comprehensive review of the literature regarding caries excavation methods including the most recently available products and discuss about the clinical efficacy of each of them based on the available clinical evidence.

Evolvulus glomeratus Nees & C. Mart. é uma planta pertencente a família Convolvulaceae. Essa espécie ocorre por todo território brasileiro, sendo conhecida por diversos nomes populares dentre eles o melhoral, possuindo algumas propriedades medicinais conforme o conhecimento popular, sendo utilizada como antitérmico e para dor de cabeça. O objetivo do trabalho foi de avaliar o período das fenofases de floração e frutificação da espécie Evolvulus glomeratus e sua interação com a pluviosidade, visando determinar a época mais indicada para coleta de folhas para uso medicinal. A área onde se desenvolveu o estudo foi na coleção do horto de plantas medicinais da Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, localizada no município de Belém-PA. Para a análise das fenofases foram selecionados 7 indivíduos de melhoral que foram analisados diariamente pela manhã durante o período de janeiro de 2010 a dezembro de 2016. Os dados coletados foram de frutificação e floração do melhoral, que foram anotados em fichas de campo e tabulados em planilhas do Excel. Após as avaliações foram construídos gráficos para a espécie em cada fenofase, demonstrando as médias de dias de floração e frutificação. Ocorreu floração em todos os meses do ano durante o período estudado. A frutificação ocorreu apenas no mês de maio quando a média da pluviometria foi de 300 mm. A pluviometria influênciou as fenofases da espécie e a coleta de folhas para uso medicinal devem ser feita nos meses de menor número de dias das fenofases.
