Authors: Funda Vusumzi , Mbangeleli Noluthando
Published: December 2024

This systematic literature review (SLR) study explores artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool to address academics challenges in South African higher education. Numerous difficulties beset higher education system in South Africa, such as a lack of funding, high student-to-lecturer ratios, and unequal access to high-quality education. Relevant academic databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, ERIC, and Web of Science, was searched using a combination of keywords relating to South African higher education, AI in education, academic issues, and AI technologies. A total of twenty (20) documents were identified and used in this study. The examination looks at how AI is currently being used, how it affects how people teach and learn, and the opportunities and challenges that come with using it in this setting. The results show that artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, including automated assessment tools, intelligent tutoring systems, and adaptive learning platforms, have the potential to improve personalized learning experiences, boost student engagement and academic performance, and facilitate effective management of educational resources. However, overcoming several issues, such as a lack of technological know-how, restricted infrastructure, concerns about equity, and ethical implications is necessary for the successful integration of AI in South African higher education. It encourages educators, politicians, and technology experts to work together to establish long-term solutions for incorporating AI into teaching and learning processes while maintaining inclusivity, equity and ethical issues.

Published: December 2024

This research focused to explore a collaborative approach in children with special needs, emphasizing the involvement of all stakeholders within educational institutions, including principals, classroom teachers, subject teachers, and parents. Using a phenomenological approach, the study sought to understand how this collective effort contributes to fostering their independent living skill. The research involved a sample of 1 principal, 6 teachers, and 10 parents, offering diverse perspectives on the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder in cultivating independence. The research reported that developmental process was supported through three key phases: firstly, pre-learning activities involving routine habits outside the classroom; secondly, during learning sessions using prompts, regular and consistent repetition, independence training and continuous verbal reinforcement; and thirdly, post-learning activities involving relaxation routines outside the classroom. It was also reported that the success of this process relied on thorough supervision, which included establishing independence standards, structured activity monitoring, and collaboration with parents. However, challenges such as parents’ inability to maintain school-established routines at home and issues with school attendance often delay the progress of independence training. To address these challenges, educational institutions should implement collaborative strategies to guide and remind parents to consistently practice these routines and reinforce discipline at home.
The effect of flipped classroom audiovisual content on students’ talking time and speaking skills in an adult EFL class
Authors: Rojas Javier
Published: December 2024

This action research report explores the effect of a flipped learning strategy on adult EFL students’ speaking skills. Flipped learning, or inverted learning, reverses the traditional educational model where students learn in class and practice out of it; flipped learning promotes the students’ learning of concepts and theories out of the classroom that is later practiced and applied in class under the teacher’s guidance. The primary hypothesis was that by flipping grammar explanations, students would be more prepared and have more time to interact in English and use the structures in class. This research revealed that flipped learning helped to increase student talking time in class and accuracy in grammar use. Furthermore, it shows evidence that using flipped audiovisual materials poses advantages and challenges that can potentially boost learning inside and outside the classroom.

Authors: Espín Mora Marcelo Gustavo
Published: December 2024

Desde la primera osteotomía tipo Le Fort I descrita por Herman Wassmund en el año 1927 para la corrección de anomalías de la cara, se han realizado varias modificaciones a esta técnica para mejorar la hipoplasia del tercio medio facial, como manifestación clínica de varios síndromes maxilomandibulares y craneofaciales. También se han empleado varias alternativas quirúrgicas como: Injertos óseos, materiales aloplásticos de relleno y distracción osteogénica con resultados relativamente favorables. De ahí la necesidad de desarrollar un procedimiento quirúrgico como modificación a la Osteotomía tipo Le Fort I convencional, que consiga avanzar el hueso maxilar con toda la pared anterior en un solo tiempo, para proyectar los tejidos blandos en proporción anatómica con mejores resultados estéticos que otras variantes realizadas anteriormente. En este artículo se expone una nueva modificación a la osteotomía tipo Le Fort I llamada "Rectangular alta" con enfoque innovador y prometedor para la corrección de deformidades maxilares. Sin embargo, es necesario continuar investigando y acumular evidencia científica para consolidar su lugar en la práctica clínica-quirúrgica y establecerla como una técnica valedera en la Cirugía Maxilofacial. Se presenta un caso diagnosticado como Síndrome de Cruzon de expresividad moderada en una paciente de sexo femenino, 18 años de edad. Cuyas manifestaciones Maxilofaciales principales son: Clase III esqueletal y dental, mordida abierta anterior, punta nasal descendida, hipoplasia de pómulos y maxilar, retrusión, prognatismo y asimetría facial.

Published: December 2024

This paediatric diving position statement was developed from a targeted workshop at the 51st Annual Scientific Meeting of the South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society (SPUMS) on 8 June 2023. It highlights the factors that SPUMS regards as important when undertaking health risk assessments for diving by children and adolescents (defined as aged 10 to 15 years). Health risk assessments for diving should be performed by doctors who are trained in diving medicine and who are familiar with the specific risks which result from breathing compressed gas in the aquatic environment. Undertaking a diver health risk assessment of children and adolescents requires a detailed history (including medical, mental health, psychological maturity), a comprehensive diver medical physical examination and evaluation of all relevant investigations to exclude unacceptable risks. In addition, assessment of the individual’s motivation to dive and reported in-water capability should occur, whilst engaging with their parent /guardian and instructor, where appropriate, to ensure that safety for the child is optimised. The guideline applies to all compressed air diving including scuba and surface supply diving provided in open and contained bodies of water.

Abstract
This Scientific Report was carried out in the context of the self‐task mandate (M‐2023‐00097) of the EFSA's Scientific Committee on ‘Guidance on the use of biomarkers of effect in regulatory risk assessment of chemicals’. In the first phase, the project on biomarkers of effect started with a feasibility study (EFSA‐Q‐2024‐00128), with the intention to look closer at definitions and descriptions of biomarkers of effect, as well as to explore several concepts related to the context of application and other scientific principles to be further considered for its development. In addition, relevant activities, initiatives and knowledge in this area were collected and analysed within a complementary mapping study. The outcome of this phase aimed to create a structured basis for future guidance, to identify challenges and to recommend a way forward for its development. The recommendations refer especially to terminologies, the scope of the guidance and several scientific and technical aspects of the selection and interpretation of biomarkers of effect that need to be addressed in future guidance. Moreover, further recommendation refers to the collaborative process to be established with other regulatory organisations that should support the harmonisation and reduce divergencies in the application of methodologies across organisations or sectors.

Recommended DNT Reference Chemical Test Set For In Vitro Assay Development*
Authors: Mundy William R. , Crofton Kevin M.
Published: December 2024

Abstract
New approach methodologies (NAMs) for developmental neurotoxicology are being developed and used to provide information on chemical hazard and risk for humans while limiting the use of animals. Recently OECD published an initial guidance document for use of the Developmental Neurotoxicity In Vitro Battery (DNT IVB), composed of in vitro assays that assess critical neurodevelopmental processes. To evaluate assay performance and develop new assays for inclusion in the DNT IVB, positive and negative control compounds with known actions neurodevelopmental processes are required. In contrast, to evaluate the ability of the battery of in vitro DNT assays to predict developmental neurotoxicity in vivo in mammals (and particularly in humans), a different set of positive and negative controls are required. These are DNT Reference Chemicals ‐ chemicals with evidence for in vivo developmental neurotoxicity identified in studies of humans or experimental animals (positives), as well as chemicals with evidence that they do not result in developmental neurotoxicity in vivo (negatives). The OECD guidance proposed a draft list of approximately 100 chemicals for use as DNT Reference Chemicals. The importance of this common set of chemicals was to provide a basis for beginning the evaluation of the current DNT‐IVB performance vs. the available in vivo DNT studies and determine the added value of possible new assays developed for inclusion in the DNT IVB. The purpose of the current report is to update Appendix A of OCED 337 (OECD, 2023) and provide a Recommended DNT Reference Chemical Test Set for use in in vitro DNT assay development and evaluation.
LITERARY STYLE AND NARRATIVE FRAMEWORK IN ANITA DESAI’S CRY, THE PEACOCK AND VOICES IN THE CITY
Authors: Monica
Published: December 2024

Anita Desai, a prominent contemporary Indian novelist, masterfully blends psychological depth with poetic prose. Her novels emphasize the complexities of the human mind, often using innovative narrative techniques to explore inner realities rather than societal reflections. Desai’s narrative structure focuses on psychological states through vivid imagery, symbolism, and introspection. Desai employs techniques like stream of consciousness, flashbacks, and free indirect discourse to delve into the protagonists' psyches, revealing their internal struggles. Her poetic use of language crafts a subjective universe, where characters seek self- fulfillment amidst societal constraints. While her focus on psychological intricacy and aesthetic design distinguishes her work, Desai’s narrative innovations remain rooted in the broader literary tradition, reflecting a balance between technical sophistication and emotional resonance. Her novels ultimately depict a poignant interplay between the inner rhythms of the mind and the external world.

Comparação de metodologias para estimativa de valores representativos de dose em exames de radiografia
Authors: Furlan Luany
Published: December 2024

As radiografias são os exames diagnósticos mais realizados mundialmente. Visto isso, é importante seguir os princípios básicos da proteção radiológica e manter o controle de qualidade dos equipamentos de acordo com os valores representativos de dose (VRD) estabelecidos pela RDC 611 através de suas instruções normativas. Dessa forma, o trabalho tem como objetivo comparar duas metodologias para obtenção de VRD. Na metodologia com medidas diretas de kerma no ar na superfície de entrada, foram realizadas medidas utilizando uma câmara de ionização e simuladores de PMMA com diferentes espessuras representando diferentes regiões anatômicas correspondentes aos exames preconizados pela IN nº 90. Na outra metodologia, chamada de “método indireto”, os valores de dose na entrada da pele (DEP) foram estimados a partir de curvas de rendimento, obtidas através de medidas de kerma no ar incidente. Os valores de DEP estimados a partir de ambos os métodos foram comparados. Tendo em vista os erros associados às medidas experimentais, obteve-se como resultado que, na maioria das vezes, as duas metodologias estabelecem concordância na obtenção de VRD, com diferenças absolutas ínfimas.

Published: December 2024

The objective of this research is to propose a technical and economically viable solution to efficiently and sustainably power the computer rooms of the Higher Institute of Technology of Mamou using a hybrid photovoltaic-electric grid installation. This research will contribute to optimizing the use of solar energy and reducing electricity consumption from the grid, while improving the resilience and sustainability of IT installations. During this research, we used two (2) sizing methods, namely: the manual method based on empirical formulas and the method using HOMER software. These two methods led to several results, the main ones being:
Concerning photovoltaic solar: one hundred and ninety-two (192) 500WC panels for an installed power of 96,000 WC; one hundred and forty-four (144) 200 Ah batteries for an installed capacity of 28,800 Ah; two converters (Sunny boy and Sunny Island) with a power of 107 kW each and the EDG electrical network of 29,604 kWh/year: The annual production of electrical energy of the entire hybrid system is 171,665 kWh, of which 29,604 kWh for the electrical network supplied by the Garafiri hydroelectric power plant (75 MW) for a voltage level of 110kV/30kV, or 13%. According to our analyses, this research shows that the use of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic solar energy coupled with the electrical network via a hydroelectric power plant remains the best optimal solution for providing clean and less polluting energy to an isolated site in general and that of Guinea in particular, whose hydroelectric potential is estimated at 6000 MW and very considerable solar irradiation

The general objective of this work is to highlight the effectiveness of the ASTER image in mapping areas with showings of iron mineralization in the Continental Terminal 3 (Ct3) formation. Specifically, these areas are identified with major indices of iron oxides and hydroxides (Fe2O3 – Fe(OH)2) and goethite Fe(OH)3. The methodology implemented is based on band ratios and indices as well as the Main Component Analysis (PCA) were applied to the ASTER image of the study area and allowed the detection and mapping of anomalies related to the presence of iron in the Continental Terminal 3 formation. The band ratios applied to the bands of the ASTER image were very useful for mapping the distribution of iron in the study area and allowed to differentiate the spatial distribution of ferrous iron (Fe2+) and ferric iron (Fe3+) in the area. The Band 1/Band 2 and Band 2/Band 1 ratios were used to detect the spatial distribution of ferrous iron (Fe2+) and ferric iron (Fe3+) of the study area, respectively. The results of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were very effective in detecting iron-associated minerals or groups of minerals in the area. The presence of iron oxide is predicted by Aster bands 1, 2 and 4 in CP3, which are distinguished by bright pixels. CP6 reveals negative effects of bands 7 and 8 on Fe(OH)-containing minerals.

Introduction: Smoking habits can cause various health problems. Smoking can have a direct or indirect negative impact on taste function, and the severity of the impact depends on the level of exposure to smoking. Smoking causes benign and sometimes malignant changes in the oral cavity which is the first part of the body exposed to cigarette smoke and its harmful substances.
Method: Descriptive research method literature review. The research includes articles published from 2016 to 2023 using databases in the form of Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Science direct which discuss the "Correlation of Smoking Habits to Taste Sensitivity".
Results: Smoking can cause changes in the taste buds and vascularization of the fungiform papillae, reducing the ability to taste. As the amount and duration of smoking increases, a direct proportional increase in EGM taste threshold is seen due to a reduced number of fungiform papillae on the dorsum of the tongue in smokers. In addition, nicotine from cigarettes can cause vasoconstriction and hypoxia, thereby reducing taste sensitivity while increasing systolic blood pressure.
Conclusion: Smoking has a negative effect in the form of decreased taste and dysfunction, the severity of the impact depends on the level of exposure to smoking. This situation is caused by a decrease in the number of papillae and the number of taste buds per papilla.

Authors: Yuzhong Sun
Published: December 2024

This study starts from the system and divides the rural revitalization system into five subsystems and 14 secondary indicators based on the rural revitalization strategy: industrial prosperity, ecological livability, rural civilization, effective governance, and affluent living. The weights of each indicator are determined using the coefficient of variation method and relative weighting method. On this basis, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used to calculate the level of rural revitalization in Qiqihar City. Research has shown that the level of rural revitalization in Qiqihar City continues to rise due to the sustained development of the thriving rural industry subsystem and the affluent living subsystem. However, the continuous decline in rural greening in Qiqihar City has led to the worst performance of the ecological livability subsystem, and there is a need to continuously improve the level of rural greening. Further enhancing the consumption expenditure of rural residents in education, culture, entertainment, and other areas is necessary to promote the continuous rise of the rural civilization subsystem.
Comparison of high intensity interval training and moderate intensity continuous training on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review
Authors: Salsabila Sabina Putri  , Lina Lukitasari  , Imam Subadi
Published: December 2024

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition characterized by insulin resistance and elevated blood glucose levels. This condition can lead to various complications such as vascular and nerve damage. Exercise is one of the interventions for T2DM as it can help control blood glucose levels, such as High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT).
Methods: This study is a systematic review of published journals regarding HIIT and MICT exercise in T2DM patients. Six databases were used in this study: PubMed, Science Direct, Research Gate, SAGE Journals, Scopus, and Web of Science, which were then screened to meet the criteria for eligible studies. Out of 9,431 articles, 5 articles were deemed eligible for use in this study. In total, there were 5 qualifying studies, including 3 RCTs and 2 clinical trials.
Results: The effects of HIIT and MICT in reducing blood glucose levels were found to be significant in two studies, while the other two studies showed no significant effect. Bias analysis using RoB2 categorized most of the studies as low risk, although some studies raised concerns.
Conclusion: This study concludes that HIIT interventions show a more significant effect in reducing blood glucose levels compared to MICT. However, further research is needed to determine the optimal type and duration of HIIT to effectively manage blood glucose levels.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy on aging diseases

Aging happens in all creatures and is usually measured based on chronological age. Someone over 65 years of age is often referred to as an elderly person. This is also the age when biological degeneration usually occurs causing a decline in performance and having a major risk factor for aging diseases. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a therapeutic approach based on exposure to concentrations of pure oxygen (O2) and increased atmospheric pressure that could be performed based on the patient’s conditions. HBOT has an approved indication and also some contraindication that needs to be looked up to. HBOT has proven to have positive effects on some aging diseases such as increasing VO2Max, decreasing neuronal degeneration in Alzheimers disease, and accelerating collagen synthesis in osteomyelitis. Literature reviews on HBOT's effects on elderly people who suffer from aging diseases are still quite limited. Although some cases of HBOT are still facing pros and contras on its effects, this literature review is expected to be useful in conducting HBOT effects on aging diseases. However, further research is needed related to HBOT on enhancing quality of life for elderly people who suffer from aging diseases.
