Authors: TAŞKAPILI Kamil , DOĞAN BAKI Elif , TAŞDEMİR MECİT Bilge Banu
Published: August 2023

Amaç: Pulmoner hipertansiyon (PH), pulmoner kan akımının azalmasıyla sonuçlanan pulmoner vasküler yataktaki bir bozukluktur. Çalışmamızda preoperatif PH’si bulunan olgularda anestezik yaklaşımlarımızı araştırmayı amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Kasım 2018-Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında anestezi altında operasyona alınan, preoperatif tetkiklerinde ekokardiyografide Pulmoner arter basıncı yüksekliği (PAB≥25mmHg) saptanan hastalar dahil edildi. Hastaların cinsiyetleri, yaşları, ek hastalıkları, transtorasik ekokardiyografileri bulguları, operasyon sırasında uygulanan anestezi tipleri, operasyon süreleri, postoperatif servis/yoğun bakım takip süreleri ve postoperatif ortaya çıkan komplikasyonlar ve mortalite incelendi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların 46’sı kadın, 31’i erkekti. Yaş ortalamaları 68.71±15.03 idi. Hastaların %2.6’sında ek hastalık gözlenmezken, %97.4’ünde ek hastalık mevcuttu. Hastalara uygulanan anestezi tipine göre değerlendirdiğimizde; hastaların
%89.6’sı genel anestezi altında opere olurken, %10.4’ü rejyonel anesteziyle opere olmuştur. Vaka sonrasında hastaların %51.9’u servise çıkarken, %48.1’i yoğun bakıma çıkmıştır. 77 hastadan 9’unda ölüm gözlenirken, 68’i hastaneden taburcu olmuştur. Hastaların %76.6’sında komplikasyon gözlenmezken, en sık görülen komplikasyon %9.1 oranında enfeksiyondur.
Sonuç: Preoperatif pulmoner hipertansiyonu bulunan hastaları PH derecelerine göre sınıfladığımızda; uygulanan anestezi şekli, hastaların postoperatif servis, yoğun bakım takip süreleri, postoperatif taburculuk ve mortalite oranları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığı gözlenmiştir. PH’si bulunan hastaya anestezik yaklaşımla ilgili ulusal kılavuzlara, prospektif çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu kanaatindeyiz.

Published: August 2023

Photoinduced bioorthogonal reactions constitute a valuable class of chemical transformations that enable spatiotemporal con-trol of biomacromolecules. Among them, those involving carbenes proved effective in various bioapplications, but they require ultraviolet or blue-light irradiation. Using lower energetic radiation, however, offers deeper penetration and diminishes photo-damages. Thus, herein, we describe the photochemistry of structurally diversified diazo reagents under red light irradiation. Reactive intermediates can be generated via direct photolysis or taking advantage of porphyrin chemistry via photosensitisa-tion and photoredox catalysis.

The main goal of treating chronic obstructive disease (COPD) is the prevention of acute and serious exacerbations, that is, the timely application of effective therapy when an exacerbation occurs. As a nonpharmacological strategy for the treatment of acute exacerbations of COPD associated with acute respiratory insufficiency, the importance of applying respiratory support in the form of oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilation is emphasized. The goal of the work: Analysis of patient characteristics, length of hospitalization, type of respiratory support and outcome of treatment. Material and methods: This retrospective study included a group of 408 patients who, in the period from January 1, 2022. until December 31, 2022. were treated in the Clinic for Pulmonary Diseases of the University Hospital of the Republic of Srpska, due to an acute exacerbation of COPD associated with acute respiratory insufficiency. The necessary parameters (age, sex, diagnosis of COPD, length of hospitalization, comorbidities) were taken from the medical records of each individual patient and were processed using methods from the domain of descriptive statistics. Results: Out of the total number of 408 patients, 266 (65.2%) were male and 142 (38.8%) were female. A total of 358 patients have at least one significant comorbidity associated with them, which is relatively 87.75% of all patients with severe exacerbation of COPD. The average age of the mentioned patients is 70 years, while the average duration of hospitalization was 8.87 days. A total of 370 patients (90.68%) were discharged from the Clinic for Pulmonary Diseases cured, while 38 patients (9.32%) ended with a fatal outcome. Out of 408, 304 patients (74.5%) were treated only with oxygen therapy, while 104 patients (25.5%) required intermittent use of non-invasive ventilation. Patients who required the application of non-invasive ventilation survived the exacerbation in 83.65% of cases and were discharged home, while 16.35% of patients ended fatally. Conclusion: Timely and adequate application of oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilation leads to improvement of gas exchange, reduces work of breathing and the need for intubation, and reduces mortality and length of hospitalization

:The case of a 34-year-old patient with the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic condition and acute renal failure is presented. The patient was referred from OB Prijedor to the Urgent Center of UCC of RS Banjaluka, and after the initial examination was admitted to the Intensive Care Medicine Clinic for non-surgical branches. Immediately after admission, he was connected to non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV), which required maximum oxygen flows, and due to further deterioration of the respiratory status, the patient was intubated and mechanically ventilated in a controlled manner. The use of controlled mechanical ventilation did not improve gas exchange, and an indication for veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) was established. After being placed on vvECMO, lung function recovered and the patient was successfully weaned from the ECMO device after 8 days. During hospitalization, due to sepsis and impaired kidney function, he needed the support of hemodialysis with hemadsorbent

Introduction: The pathophysiology of COVID-19 is still not fully understood, but is considered to be the result of strong production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and imbalance of the coagulation process. Based on this, we aimed to examine the significance of monitoring the leukocyte formula and the available inflammation parameters in COVID-19 patients. Methods: The study included 100 patients divided into two groups: with moderate and severe disease. The counts of leukocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the values of C-reactive protein, ferritin and D-dimer were monitored on the first, seventh and fourteenth day of hospitalization, as well as the initial values of IL-6. The data were statistically processed with a significance threshold of p<0.05. Results: The leukocytes and neutrophils counts change statistically significantly during the follow-up period and differ between the studied groups. CRP and D-dimer values decrease statistically significantly during the follow-up period. The NLR on the seventh day, the values of ferritin and D-dimer after the seventh day of hospitalization, as well as the initial values of IL-6, are statistically significantly higher in patients presenting severe disease. An increase in the number of leukocytes above 12.25x109 /L and NLR above 7.08 on the seventh day of hospitalization, as well as initial IL-6 values above 40.75 pg/ml are predictors of disease severity. Conclusion: The leukocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes counts, the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, as well as the values of D-dimer and ferritin on the seventh day of hospitalization are statistically significantly different in patients with moderate and severe COVID-19. The mentioned parameters, along with the initial values of IL-6, can be used as predictors of the disease severity in COVID-19

Introduction: The concept of unified airway disease was recognized decades ago in asthma patients. Recent researches have indicated the presence and importance of rhinitis symptoms in COPD patients. Objective: The aim was to evaluate the impact of rhinitis symptoms on COPD severity and exacerbations. Material and methods: The prospective study included 49 patients, 24 (48,98%) female and 25 (51,02%) male, aged 66,49±7,461 years. The severity of COPD was determined by spirometric parameter FEV1%. The CAT questionnaire (COPD Assessment Test) was used to assess the COPD symptoms severity. The eosinophils were verified by blood count analysis, and the rhinitis symptoms were verified by SNOT-22 (Sino-nasal Outcome Test) questionnaire. Results: The rhinitis symptoms were found in 75,51% (37) of patients. A statistically significant differences in the total SNOT-22 score, the rhinological, extranasal/rhinological and auditory/facial domains of this questionnaire and blood eosinophilia in relation to the presence of rhinitis symptoms were observed (p<0,05). Correlation analysis confirmed a statistically significant relationship between the CAT and SNOT-22 scores (r=0,001; p<0,05), blood eosinophilia and the auditory/facial and psychological domains of SNOT-22 and its total score (r=0,05; r =0,024; r=0,011; p<0,05). Statistically significant correlation between the extranasal/rhinological domain and hospital exacerbations was also observed (r=0,038; p<0,05), as well as eosinophilia and the hospital exacerbations (r=0,019; p<0,05). The correlation between FEV1% and SNOT-22 score was not proven (r=0,183; p>0,05). Conclusion: The rhinitis symptoms significantly affects the expression of COPD symptoms and hospital exacerbations. Blood eosinophilia significantly affects the rhinitis symptoms and increases the risk of hospital exacerbations

Embedding soft skills within classroom practice among english graduates
Authors: Robiul Islam , Happy Kumar Das
Published: August 2023

This study explored the views of teachers' and English graduates' on the reflection of soft skills for employability in English literature. Also, the study discovers how soft skills can be embedded within classroom practice among English graduates. A qualitative study methodology and interpretive paradigm were used to make sense of the complicated social phenomenon of soft skills for graduate employability. The heads, teachers, and fourth-year English majors from nine tertiary colleges in the Bangladeshi districts of Pabna, Rajshahi, and Bogura have been purposefully chosen to participate. There were nine student FGDs and 18 teacher in-depth interviews from the English department. The study discloses that while soft skills are prevalent in English literature, they are not in a form that can be passed on. However, motivations and ideas connected to soft skills are widely present in English literature. The results point to several critical topics that should be further examined, including teaching strategies, classroom management, question settings, teacher preparation, assessment systems, soft skills instruction, mentorship, and counseling.
Chemical properties and sensory evaluation of sweetened condensed rice (Oryza
sativa L.) milk
Authors: Wannasupchue W.
Published: August 2023

Food and beverage products that provide beneficial effects on human health and the
prevention of diseases have become more popular among consumers who are seeking a
healthy lifestyle. Sweetened condensed rice (Oryza sativa L.) milk (SCRM) is a plantbased food product and it is suitable for some people who practise vegetarianism and
suffer from a food allergy, such as lactose intolerance. The study herein developed SCRM
by applying three different sweeteners that comprise refined sugar (SCRMSU), glucose
syrup (SCRMGL), and stevia syrup (SCRMST). The aim of the study was to examine the
chemical properties (proximate composition and concentrations of sugars), physical
properties (colour measurement, pH and moisture content), microbial analysis during the
storage period and sensory evaluation. Results showed that SCRMGL exhibited the
highest total carbohydrate value (67.93%), while the lowest value was shown in SCRMST
(44.07%). All samples have a relatively low amount of protein, fat, and ash compared to
carbohydrates. The total sugar concentration of SCRMGL and SCRMSU was 48.36 g/100
g and 45.23 g/100 g, respectively; but not detected in SCRMST. Sucrose constituted the
highest concentration of total sugar in all samples, with SCRMSU (44.93 g/100 g) having
the highest. Based on the aerobic plate count, SCRMST showed the highest microbial
reduction after being stored for 7 (3.68 log CFU/g) and 15 (6.99 log CFU/g) days,
followed by SCRMSU (7 days, 2.53 log CFU/g; 15 days, 5.81 log CFU/g). In contrast,
there was no appreciable amount of mould detected in all samples after seven days of
storage. The study also included the sensory evaluation involving thirty panellists by using
a 9-point hedonic scale and a majority of panellists accepted SCRMST given that it had
the highest score on several sensory characteristics, e.g., appearance (8.00±1.00), colour
(8.10±0.91), taste (8.10±0.91), flavour (7.65±0.88), and texture (7.95±0.85), with the
overall acceptability of 8.25±0.64. In summary, SCRMST is expected to respond well in
the health market and be one of the alternative products for some people who face food
allergy problems.

Authors: Вахняк Н. В
Published: August 2023

У статті розглядається актуальна проблема сьогодення – дистанційний формат взаємодії закладу дошкільної освіти із сім’єю в контексті соціально-громадянської компетентності дошкільників, яка є одним із пріоритетних напрямів діяльності ЗДО у 2022–2023 н. р., що передбачає солідарну відповідальність в організації спільної діяльності всіх суб’єктів освітнього процесу. Розкрито сутність ключових понять дослідження «соціально-громадянська компетентність», «дистанційне навчання»; визначено основні форми й методи онлайн-комунікації з батьками вихованців, сервіси та інструменти. Проаналізовано літературні джерела та нормативно-правові документи щодо поставленої проблеми. Вказано на необхідність налагодження педагогічної взаємодії між двома суспільними ланками – закладом дошкільної освіти та сім’єю – як виховних феноменів, де кожен впливає на процес соціально-громадянського становлення особистості дитини; у дитини дошкільного віку сформованість соціально-громадянської вихованості проявляється не лише від отриманих конкретних знань і вмінь, а й від емоційно-ціннісного ставлення до загальнолюдських та громадянських цінностей, відповідальності за свої вчинки. Автором окреслено індикатори сформованості соціально-громадянської компетентності за освітнім напрямом «Дитина в соціумі» оновленого Базового компонента дошкільної освіти. Підкреслено, що якісно побудувати дистанційний формат взаємодії з батьками щодо формування соціально-громадянської компетентності в дітей дошкільного віку допоможуть сучасні технологічні аспекти організації комунікації освітнього процесу, що мають реалізовуватися через різні види діяльності, зокрема ігрову, комунікативну, художньо-естетичну, здоров’язбережувальну та пізнавально-дослідницьку. Розкрито переваги взаємодії в системі «педагог – дитина – батьки», що актуалізує педагогічний потенціал родини, створює єдиний розвивальний простір «заклад дошкільної освіти – сім’я», сприяє спільності інтересів щодо набуття дитиною соціально-громадянської компетентності. Щоб взаємодія із сім’єю була ефективною, вона повинна мати системний та інтерактивний характер.

Статтю присвячено питанням організації проєктної діяльності здобувачів закладів вищої освіти з метою підвищення дослідницької компетентності. У процесі дослідження висвітлено основні моменти, пов’язані з використанням методу проєктів; зазначено особливості, які визначають можливості впровадження проєктного навчання. Встановлено, що основу методу проєктів становить формування пізнавальних навичок у здобувачів, вміння незалежно конструювати свій багаж знань, орієнтуючись в інформаційному просторі, підвищення дослідницької компетентності. У проєктно орієнтованому або проєктному навчанні освітній процес організований навколо діяльності, яка керує діями студентів; здобувачі вивчають основні поняття та принципи дисципліни через проєкти. Цей підхід «навчання на практиці» допомагає мотивувати їх, оскільки здобувач відіграє активну роль у процесі. Під час експерименту автори розробили методологію проєктного навчання та сформували спільні компоненти, пов’язані з дослідницькою компетентністю майбутніх фахівців. Студентам пояснено мету, обґрунтування та актуальність їхньої участі в запропонованому дослідженні, яке було узгоджено з характером і метою курсу. Основним завданням дослідження, яке визначало результати проєктного навчання, було написання здобувачами академічної статті, яка б відповідала актуальній проблемі, пов’язаній з їхніми фаховими напрямами навчання, і наприкінці циклу була опублікована у фахових виданнях. У дослідженні брали участь 85 здобувачів з Дрогобицького державного педагогічного університету імені Івана Франка, Прикарпатського національного університету імені Василя Стефаника та Бердянського державного педагогічного університету. Від кожного університету була визначена 1 група здобувачів, яка розділена на 3 підгрупи у своєму закладі вищої освіти. У результаті дослідження змогли правильно опублікувати свою наукову статтю 7 груп здобувачів із 9 контрольних. Проведений експеримент підтвердив гіпотезу про позитивний вплив використання проєктного навчання на формування дослідницької компетентності здобувачів освіти.

Impact of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) on Learners' Performance in Business Courses
Authors: Saha Gopal Chandra , Akber S M , Roy Ashutosh
Published: August 2023

Purpose: The study aims to introduce a new format of education called outcome-based education (OBE), its importance, and its impact on learners' performance in business courses.
 
Theoretical framework: Outcome-based education (OBE) ensures that new learners enter the classroom exceptionally prepared with the skills, mindsets, and values required to grow into successful adults after they leave the educational system. Outcome-based education (OBE) is a teaching approach that concentrates on how novices will perform in the future and how to use knowledge to accomplish objectives after instruction.
 
Methodology: The qualitative method was chosen as the content is theoretical, for outcome-based education has been compared with conventional education. This study begins by tracing the evolution of outcome-based education (OBE) and introducing crucial implementation criteria. Following the discussion of impacts, it is covered how the concept of repercussions necessitates a paradigm shift in evaluation and evaluation methodologies. The study then goes through the crucial effects of implementing the exercise and methods for rating and evaluating learners' success in business school. These repercussions are closely related to discussing the four critical philosophies of outcome-based education (OBE). Based on that, results are drawn.
 
Results and conclusion: It is confirmed that OBE develops a learner's Fundamental knowledge, problem-solving skills, research skills, technical skills, social skills, ethical values, communication skills, project management skills, and life-long skills that have a significant impact on one's career.
 
Originality/Value: Outcome-based education (OBE), which directs learners in building their professional careers and increases their knowledge and creativity, is the newest education trend. In the context of their workplace, OBE might support their healthy development. The National Board of Accreditation (NBA) requires the application of the appropriate evaluation strategies for learners to acquire the skills indicated for outcome-based education. Outcome-based education (OBE) is attractive because it can improve coaching, the educational system, and learners' performance, which primarily rely on evaluating graduates' skills. Through this process, the learner will learn how to bridge the gap between tutoring and results-based mastering techniques. No one in South Asia didn't undertake any research on the subject; as a result, the fresh information would help to enhance management, encourage innovation, and boost performance.
 
Contribution: The suggested methodological model, one of the most fundamental advances in business education, would improve scientific capabilities in the training process at the business school and permit a widespread incidence in the academic environment.

Background: HIV, tuberculosis and malaria (HTM) services receive financial support from the Global Fund and need to plan for sustainability and transition from external funding. Aim: To recommend actions for addressing key sustainability and transition issues in 15 countries receiving Global Fund grants in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean (EMR) Region. Methods: We reviewed documents, interviewed key informants, and conducted case studies in Sudan and Tunisia to highlight key considerations for sustainability and transition from Global Fund that is tailored to the EMR and the health system building blocks. Sustainability considerations should align with the health system building blocks, including governance, financing, service delivery, workforce and health product management, with the addition of considerations for key and vulnerable populations because of their particular importance for HIV and tuberculosis services. Conclusion: While hoping for economic growth and reduction of the burden of HTM, EMR countries need to prepare for transition from Global Fund support. Proactive steps that are tailored to the health system building blocks and address the needs of key and vulnerable populations should progressively increase national capabilities as well as resources dedicated to HTM.

Published: August 2023

Background: Lifestyle changes in Saudi Arabia have affected the dietary intake of adolescents, who now consume more unhealthy foods. Aims: We assessed the dietary intake of female Saudi Arabian adolescents living in Arar. Method: In this randomised cluster study, female students were selected randomly from assigned schools to form the intervention (n = 68) and control (n = 70) groups. Initially, a 60-minute seminar was held for mothers of students in the intervention group. Subsequently, 6 90-minute sessions were held over 3 months for the intervention group on topics such as food groups, healthy and unhealthy eating, body image and physical activity. The data were analysed using generalized estimating equations. Results: The interaction effect (group by time) between the groups revealed statistically significant differences for dairy products (P < 0.001), sweetened beverages (P < 0.001), sweetened baked goods (P = 0.022) and fruits and vegetables (P < 0.003). The intervention significantly increased the intake of dairy products (P < 0.001) and fruits and vegetables (P = 0.003). It reduced the intake of sweetened beverages (P < 0.001) and sweetened baked goods (P = 0.010) in the intervention group. Conclusion: This intervention showed a grater positive effect on the intervention than the control group; it increased dietary intake of dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and reduced intake of sweetened beverages and sweetened baked goods among the intervention group participants. We recommend similar nutrition interventions among other young Saudi Arabian population groups to prevent obesity and other diseases.

Синтезированы и структурно охарактеризованы новые комплексы олова (IV) на основе различных пирокатехинов, содержащих трет-бутильные и трет-октильные заместители в ароматическом кольце. Восстановление пространственно-затрудненных о-хинонов амальгамой олова в тетрагидрофуране позволяет получать соединения с транс-расположением катехолатных лигандов в координационной сфере металла. В ходе дальнейшей реакции синтезированных бискатехолатов олова (IV) с N-донорными лигандами (пиридином (Py), α,α’-дипиридилом (dipy), 1,10-фенантролином (phen), пиразино-[2,3-f][1-10]-фенантролином (DPQ), дипиридо-[3,2-a:2’3’-c]-феназином (DPPZ)) были получены соответствующие шестикоординационные комплексы. Введение бидентатных лигандов закономерно приводит к цис-расположению диоксоленовых лигандов в координационной сфере олова. С помощью электронной спектроскопии поглощения была показана возможность осуществления внутримолекулярного переноса заряда лиганд-лиганд (LL’CT) между катехолатными и дииминовыми фрагментами в синтезированных октаэдрических производных металла. Установлено влияние заместителей в катехолатных лигандах и акцепторных свойств дииминов на смещение длинноволновой полосы поглощения. Показано, что электронный переход, отвечающий LL’CT, в электронном спектре поглощения испытывает батохромный сдвиг при уменьшении полярности используемого растворителя.

Erection girder is one of the determinants of the success of bridge and road work, so in its implementation, it is of concern to many parties. Apart from lifting work that uses heavy equipment with a large capacity, it is also due to the high risk of erection work. Since using heavy equipment as a tool for the erection girder, then closely related to productivity and work time. Many factors affect the productivity of heavy equipment, and one of them is time, so a well and measurable work plan is needed. This study aims to provide solutions to problems regarding the productivity of the erection girder launcher method with a time motion study analysis for each work cycle. Time Motion Study is calculated using collected data from time and productivity records. The analysis model has been carried out with the amount of data of 58 erection girder cycles with the specification of Girder Profile I with 16 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters, and 60 meters in length. The modeling results are in the form of productivity nomograms and optimal productivity of the erection girder launcher method. The optimal productivity of a 16-meter girder is 0.901 girder/hour, 30 meters girder is 0.692 girder/hour, a 40 meters girder is 0.443 girder/hour, and 60 meters girder is 0.340 girder/hour. In this study, there are some renewals from other studies. From this study, it might be known about factors that affect the productivity of erection girders, such as the distance of the girder’s stockyard, the girder’s length, and erection time. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-08-06 Full Text: PDF

Using solar energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels has excellent potential as an alternative energy source. However, the problem of high operating temperatures causing a reduction in work efficiency needs to be addressed. This study aimed to analyze the development of a cooling system to increase PV panels' electrical and thermal efficiency. The research involved analyzing the use of TiO2, Al2O3, and ZnO working fluids by adding 0.5 vol% to water in an active cooling method. The cooling system involved a rectangular spiral and a rectangular tube behind the PV panel. A solar simulator simulated solar radiation with intensity variations to analyze the cooling system's performance in different working conditions. The results showed that the heat exchanger with a nanofluid configuration reduced the panel temperature by 14 oC, which increased the electrical efficiency by up to 4.7% in the ZnO nanofluid. In the rectangular spiral configuration, the ZnO nanofluid reduced the panel temperature from 60 to 45 oC, increasing the Isc value from 2.16A to 2.9A and the Voc value from 21.5V to 23V. This resulted in a maximum power increase of the panel to 53W. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-08-08 Full Text: PDF

Debido a la degradación en los ecosistemas del noreste de México, ha sido necesario desarrollar estrategias para restaurarlos. Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron estimar la supervivencia y composición de una reforestación con especies nativas, tres años después de su establecimiento, así como evaluar la composición florística y parámetros ecológicos del Matorral Espinoso Tamaulipeco (MET) a 11 años de su reconversión para aprovechamiento cinegético. Se caracterizó la vegetación regenerada a través de sus parámetros ecológicos en dos estratos, y se realizó el cálculo de sus índices de diversidad (Shannon-Wiener, Margalef y Pretzsch). Para la reforestación se estimó la supervivencia y parámetros ecológicos de las especies establecidas. Las especies con mayor importancia dentro de la regeneración fueron características de etapas de sucesión temprana, posterior a actividades antropogénicas. La mayor abundancia de familias e individuos se concentró en las familias Fabaceae y Poaceae, la primera representada por las mismas especies establecidas con éxito en la reforestación, y la segunda por taxones herbáceos de carácter invasor. Dentro de la reforestación, Prosopis glandulosa, Diospyros texana, Cordia boissieri, Ebenopsis ebano, Vachellia rigidula y Havardia pallens presentaron porcentajes de supervivencia de 76.92, 50.0, 40.0, 38.46, 24.24 y 20.0 %, respectivamente, y el resto de las especies registraron 0 %. Los resultados obtenidos son de relevancia para la toma de decisiones en el manejo forestal del MET, así como para el monitoreo de esta comunidad en sus diferentes etapas sucesionales.

La descomposición del mantillo es un proceso fundamental para mantener la productividad primaria neta y la fertilidad de los ecosistemas forestales. Por tal motivo, se realizó un estudio en el ejido Pablillo, municipio Galeana, Nuevo León, México durante un año para conocer el proceso de descomposición del mantillo en tres ecosistemas forestales de clima templado (pino, encino y pino-encino) que incluyó modelos para predecir la tasa de descomposición. En cada ecosistema se distribuyeron en cinco parcelas de 20 m×20 m 60 bolsas de polipropileno negro con 10 g de mantillo. Al comparar los tres tipos de vegetación, la pérdida de masa fue de 14 % para pino, 22 % en pino-encino y 23 % para encino. De acuerdo con el análisis de regresión, los modelos exponencial negativo simple (Olson) y lineal simple mostraron la mejor bondad de ajuste respecto a los modelos logarítmico y de potencia. El modelo lineal simple presentó un mejor ajuste con valores de R2=0.719 (encino), 0.626 (pino) y 0.620 (pino-encino); para el modelo de Olson, el Coeficiente R2 varió de 0.710 (encino) a 0.617 (pino-encino). La constante de descomposición del modelo de Olson fluctuó de 1.017 (encino) a 0.946 años (pino-encino), y en el modelo lineal simple de 1.009 (encino) a 0.944 años (pino-encino). El proceso de descomposición tuvo diferencias significativas entre ecosistemas atribuibles a la composición química del mantillo. En el ecosistema de pino se presentó el menor porcentaje de descomposición.
