Authors: Umadevi R. , Chandrashekhar D. V. , Dinesh P. A. , Jayalakshmamma D. V.
Published: April 2024

A steady, two dimensional, incompressible, viscous and conducting fluid flow over a fixed rigid sphere has been considered under the effect of magnetic force applied normal to flow direction. The fluid flow occurs in three multiple regions namely fluid, porous and fluid region respectively. The governing equations are reduced into linear PDEs in terms of dimensionless parameters which intern converted into linear ODEs by similarity transformation method. The impact of Hartmann number and porosity on the fluid flow has been analyzed graphically. It is observed that as the Hartmann number increases for fixed porosity, the flow of fluid is well controlled in porous and non-porous regions. Further, as porosity increases for fixed Hartmann number, fluid flow over a porous region is observed. Also, diminishes the fluid velocity in the porous region due to the suppression of the fluid flow as ‘σ’ increases when magnetic field is fixed to finite constant. The same observation is made when the Hartmann number is intensified for the fixed porosity ‘σ’.

Introduction: The goals of the subject of Medical sociology are to familiarize and explain the relationships between social environment and health. The theoretical and practical elements of the medical sociology education and the field studies that form a part of practical work serve these goals. During filed studies, we build on the previous knowledge and experience of thestudents. Method: The themes of the field studies change from semester to semester. From the series of studies we picked three themes that were connected to and built on each other. We present the role of field studies through their description and the explanation of our experiences. Results: Field studies add empirical skills and experience to the knowledge acquired during thetheoretical and practical training of medical sociology. The field study assignments also serve to strengthen the effects of the “hidden curriculum”, the process of the indirect professional socialization at the medical school. Furthermore, the new knowledge and skills give the students a better understanding of the scientific literature helping them in the interpretation of statisticaland methodological aspects of biomedical results and concepts. Conclusion: Our experiences show that field studies are an efficient teaching method. Its most important outcome is sensitizing medical students towards health related social problems and helping them to understand and handle such problems.

This paper brings into focus the theme of doctor-sick people/patient relationship by means of boethical principles interpreted in sociocultural perspective. The author, based on German literature, holds that the transformation of docor-sick people relationship [Arzt-Kranke-Verhältnis] into doctor-patient relationship [Arzt-Patient-Verhältnis] is one of the conditions and elementsof modern medicine. Its realization requires disseminate and making general the patient’s principle of autonomy, his right to self determination and his right to informed consent in Hungarian patient care. This civilization challenge – namely the adjustment of the quality of all elements of medicine (including attitudes) to the criteria and standards of modern medicine – is the interestof all concerned in health care. In this setting interdisciplinary work is being offered by bioethics, for example to the sociology of health.

Published: April 2024

The study examines the impact of leadership roles and success on family and friendship relationships between men and women. The literature on this topic typically focuses on the analysis of success and failure, but the impact of family and friendships on leadership success is a less published area. The questionnaire data collection (n = 437) was conducted among women and men using a snowball method, with separate questionnaires. The questionnaire data were analysed using ANOVA test and Chi-square test. Research findings suggest that female and male leaders differ in their perceptions of the impact of their own successful leadership roles. Male leaders perceived personal skills, unique ideas, reputation and spousal support as determinants of successful leadership, whereas female respondents did not perceive these factors as being important. More than half of men (51.8%) agreed with the statement that their leadership successes have led them to make new friends instead of old ones. This compares with only 4% of women. Almost half of female leaders (47.1%) believe that they have kept their old friends. Less than half (45.1%) of women feel that leadership has had a positive or negative impact on family and relationships.

Published: April 2024

The ionic solids [C16MI]Cl and [C14MI]Cl were used as structure directors on MCM-48 mesoporous support with immobilized CALB lipase for the synthesis of esters from geraniol. Significant results were obtained in the synthesis of geranyl acetate and geranyl butyrate. Enzyme concentration, temperature and molar ratio of substrates were parameters that affect the synthesis yield. The highest temperature (60°C) and highest enzyme concentration (13%) conditions showed the best ester conversion results. For both esters, the ionic liquid [C16MI]Cl showed better conversion results and reached a value above 38% of conversion.   Furthermore, the support tested in the present study for application in ester synthesis is cost-effective. In addition, the enzymatic route to obtain the esters presents mild reaction conditions and the results show potential for application in industrial applications.
Immersion in Complex Dynamical Systems with Ergodicity
Authors: Santos Rômulo Damasclin Chaves dos , Sales Jorge Henrique de Oliveira
Published: April 2024

This work delves into the theory of dynamic systems, focusing on the analysis of entropy in both classical and topological contexts. Beginning with an exposition of fundamental concepts in dynamical systems theory, particular attention is given to topological dynamical systems (TDS). The discussion progresses to explore discrete topological entropy and its significance within dynamical systems, culminating in the introduction of topological entropy pressure as a nuanced form of this concept. The study then investigates various applications of topological entropy within dynamic systems, emphasizing its utility in understanding chaotic systems and its role in ergodic theory. A novel theory, termed Topological Ergodic Entropy Theory (TEET), is presented, offering a fresh perspective on the analysis of ergodic dynamical systems. Furthermore, the work introduces the Ergodic Theory of Turbulent Flow (ETTF), which probes the interplay between topological entropy and the ergodic properties of dynamic systems governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. Through these explorations, the findings contribute significantly to the comprehension of the intricate nature of dynamical systems and their diverse applications across mathematics and physics. By scrutinizing topological entropy and its implications in dynamical systems, this research offers novel insights into the chaotic and stochastic behaviors exhibited by these systems. Additionally, the introduction of pioneering theories like ETTF opens up new avenues for understanding and modeling turbulent phenomena, thereby enriching our understanding of complex dynamical processes.

Published: April 2024

Do you recall the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs}? They were 8 and run from year 2000 to year to 2015. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were described to have produced the most successful anti-poverty movement in history and served as the jumping pad for the Sustainable Development Goals which were launched in 2016, to run till 2030. The MDGs were measured by 21 targets; most countries put in place various programs to work towards fulfilling the goals in time. Goal 1 which we continue to grapple with up to now was to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Goal 2 was to eradicate illiteracy. As I always say, education is the key to lifelong living.

Role of sirtuins in epigenetic regulation and aging control
Authors: Samoilova E. M. , Romanov S. E. , Chudakova D.  A. , Laktionov P. P.
Published: April 2024

Advances in modern healthcare in developed countries make it possible to extend the human lifespan, which is why maintaining active longevity is becoming increasingly important. After the sirtuin (SIRT) protein family was discovered, it started to be considered as a significant regulator of the physiological processes associated with aging. SIRT has deacetylase, deacylase, and ADP­ribosyltransferase activity and modifies a variety of protein substrates, including chromatin components and regulatory proteins. This multifactorial regulatory system affects many processes: cellular metabolism, mitochondrial functions, epigenetic regulation, DNA repair and more. As is expected, the activity of sirtuin proteins affects the manifestation of classic signs of aging in the body, such as cellular senescence, metabolic disorders, mitochondrial dysfunction, genomic instability, and the disruption of epigenetic regulation. Changes in the SIRT activity in human cells can also be considered a marker of aging and are involved in the genesis of various age­dependent disorders. Additionally, experimental data obtained in animal models, as well as data from population genomic studies, suggest a SIRT effect on life expectancy. At the same time, the diversity of sirtuin functions and biochemical substrates makes it extremely complicated to identify cause­and­effect relationships and the direct role of SIRT in controlling the functional state of the body. However, the SIRT influence on the epigenetic regulation of gene expression during the aging process and the development of disorders is one of the most important aspects of maintaining the homeostasis of organs and tissues. The presented review centers on the diversity of SIRT in humans and model animals. In addition to a brief description of the main SIRT enzymatic and biological activity, the review discusses its role in the epigenetic regulation of chromatin structure, including the context of the development of genome instability associated with aging. Studies on the functional connection between SIRT and longevity, as well as its effect on pathological processes associated with aging, such as chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and neuroinflammation, have been critically analyzed.

Published: April 2024

O presente artigo é um recorte da dissertação de mestrado e objetivou identificar como as crianças da educação infantil, manifesta e ou percebem padrões de beleza. E teve como problema desencadeador: como as crianças da educação infantil percebem as relações de racismo e discriminação racial que vivenciam? Apoiada nas concepções do Modelo Bioecológico de Desenvolvimento Humano de Urie Bronfenbrenner (1917-2005), cotejado à discussão acerca do racismo estrutural (Ameida, 2020), a pesquisa foi realizada em uma escola municipal do norte paranaense, na cidade de Londrina. Participaram da pesquisa 14 crianças com idades entre 4 e 5 anos, dentre elas 10 negras, 3 brancas e 1 asiática.  A abordagem apresentada é qualitativa de natureza exploratória descritiva. Como procedimento, empregou-se a observação de situações de brincadeiras cotidianas na sala de aula. Os dados revelaram que as crianças já incorporaram um padrão de beleza eurocêntrico que nega a beleza negra e desqualifica os traços étnicos, legitimando a aceitação apenas do branco como belo e refutando a identidade preta. Os dados levaram a refletir como as crianças negras estão experienciando as vivências escolares sobre a não aceitação, a  invisibilidade e a rejeição do corpo preto como formas de violência que podem prejudicar a construção da identidade das crianças pretas.

Aquaculture is a fast-growing animal food-producing industry in India. With the growing human population, dependence on aquaculture to provide a proteinaceous and economical supply of food has increased. The use of antibiotics is becoming increasingly widespread in the aquaculture industry to provide a protein-rich food supply, which is having negative impacts on human populations. As the benefits of medicinal herbs become clear, the use of antibiotics can be reduced gradually. Various medicinal herbs are known to have excellent some properties, such as antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal activity, enhancing fish growth, etc. The purpose of this paper is to provide the latest scientific information on the application of medicinal herbs in aquaculture sectors as well as to review the potential problems and recommendations for the application of medicinal herbs in aquaculture.

Published: April 2024

Background: A 90-day trial was carried out to investigate the effects of insitu and exsitu biofloc on the immune-physiological responses, nutrient composition and muscle growth-related gene expression. Methods: The experimental groups consisted of IB-1, IB-2, IB-3 (insitu biofloc), EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 (exsitu biofloc). Capacity of 2.4-ton outdoor tanks were stocked with 4.36±0.1 g pearlspot (Etroplus suratensis) juveniles @ 150/m3. Organic jaggery was used as carbon source to maintain 12:1, 15:1, and 20:1 C/N (IB-1, IB-2, IB-3) ratio for insitu biofloc development and exsitu biofloc mass production and feed supplementation at 10, 20 and 30 % graded level in the diet (EB-1, EB-2, EB-3). Result: At the end of the experiment, insitu biofloc system showed significantly better physiological performances in terms of SOD, RBT, MPO, GLU, CAT, and Serum protein compared to exsitu treatment. In exsitu system, biofloc supplemented at 20% significantly improved nutrient composition. There was a significant effect of insitu and exsitu biofloc treatments on whole-body amino acids like Phenylalanine, Leucine, Isoleucine, methionine, tryptophan, and lysine. However, the targeted muscle-growth-related myo D gene was significantly upregulated in IB-3 insitu and EB-2 exsitu treatments, while the myostatin was downregulated in IB-3 and EB-3. Therefore, this present study suggests the adoption of the insitu biofloc method to obtain better performance of Pearlspot, insitu biofloc at 20:1 C: N level could be used to improve overall health and muscle growth in Etroplus suratensis.

Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions for Depression
Authors: Kaya Rabia , Kaplan Veysel , Solmaz Filiz , Yılmaz Yasemin , Düken Mehmet Emin
Published: April 2024

Mental problems are disorders whose incidence is increasing with the effect of the global crises experienced in the world today and which significantly reduce the functionality of the individual. Depression draws attention as the most common mental problem. An average of two-thirds of individuals diagnosed with depression cannot receive treatment due to treatment cost, transportation, stigma, lack of information, low perceived need for treatment, and barriers to seeking mental health help.Internet-based interventions can offer highly effective and advantageous suggestions to overcome the disadvantages created by these barriers. As an internet-based intervention, Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) is an intervention design that aims to provide the right type and intensity of support at the right time by adapting to the changing internal and contextual situation of the individual. This intervention has emerged from the need to use mobile health in general, to address situations of vulnerability for adverse health outcomes, and to take advantage of rapid, unexpected, ecologically emerging situations of opportunity. In general, the mechanisms of JITAIs include 6 key elements: vulnerability/opportunity situation, distal outcome, proximal outcomes, decision points, intervention options, adaptation of variables and decision rules. Considering the potential rise of depression, especially in relation to new global events (e.g., pandemics and economic downturns), this application, which can be considered as a scalable, fully automated self-administered biopsychosocial transdiagnostic digital intervention, can provide widespread benefits. In this study, we focus on the working principles and advantages of JITAIs in general.

Published: April 2024

Simulation ist in der medizinischen Ausbildung eine bewährte Lehrmethode. Es gibt große Anstrengungen, Simulationsmethoden in der universitären Lehrkräftebildung zu implementieren, u. a. um die professionelle Unterrichtswahrnehmung zu fördern. Wir präsentieren ein Modell zur Simulation religionsbezogener Unterrichtsstörungen und -irritationen im Religionsunterricht mit einer erfahrenen Lehrkraft in der Rolle des störenden Schülers bzw. der störenden Schülerin, einem / einer Studierenden in der Rolle der Lehrkraft und drei weiteren Studierenden in Rollen der Lernenden. Dadurch soll einerseits die professionelle Unterrichtswahrnehmung beim Erwerb relevanter didaktischer Kompetenzen verbessert werden und andererseits das Verhältnis von Wissen und Handeln im Bereich der inhaltlichen und pädagogisch-inhaltlichen Kompetenzen vor, in und nach dem Simulationsprozess reflektiert werden. Die Micro-Teaching-Performance von 25 Lehramtsstudierenden wurde in einem Simulationsraum (Video-Labor) videografiert, wobei davor und danach ein Fragebogen bearbeitet wurde. Als Kontrollgruppe dienten Studierende eines Psychologiekurses, der sich mit Störungen befasste (N=18). Die Ergebnisse liefern wichtige Implikationen für Fragen, wie professionelles Wahrnehmen in einer frühen Phase der beruflichen Entwicklung unterstützt werden kann. Abschließend schlagen wir Perspektiven für die Religionslehrerausbildung vor, um deren Qualität zu steigern.

Published: April 2024

O presente artigo objetiva debater o Subsistema Educacional para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável (SUEDS), uma política educacional municipal implementada entre os anos de 1993 e 1996 pela Prefeitura Municipal de Belém, Estado do Pará, na Amazônia brasileira. À luz do Materialismo Histórico e Dialético, toma-se como corpus empírico os denominados “Cadernos Caminhos da Educação”, os quais foram publicados pela Secretaria de Educação Municipal (SEMEC), em um total de sete volumes. Questiona-se no discurso institucional do período o ideário moderno da inauguração de um novo tempo, trazendo consigo inovações educacionais. Este momento da história política educacional municipal recente de Belém tem sido abordado em dissertações, teses e artigos científicos em universidades públicas e privadas localmente. Conclusivamente, aponta-se que este Subsistema efetivou na prática uma perspectiva neoliberal e, em muitos aspectos, conservador, pois abordou a conjuntura local (problemas sociais, econômicos e ambientais) silenciando os aspectos estruturais à formação social capitalista, violenta, genocida, etnocida, homogeneizadora dos espaços e geradora de pobreza na riqueza.
Evolved photovoltaic performance of MAPbI3 and FAPbI3-based perovskite solar cells in low-temperatures
Authors: Xu Youcheng , Wu Ziyi , Zhang Ziling , Li Xin , Lin Hong
Published: April 2024

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have emerged as an up-and-coming contender for photovoltaic devices owing to their exceptional photovoltaic properties. However, current research predominantly concentrates on their performance under ambient conditions at room temperature. In this work, we delve into the novel territory by investigating MAPbI3-based and FAPbI3-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in the temperature range of 300 to 150 K. Remarkable efficiency enhancements of nearly 5% and 20% were obtained at 250 and 210 K, respectively. However, further decreasing the temperature impairs the photovoltaic performance. We propose an underlying mechanism influencing the performance change in perovskite devices at low temperatures by examining the temperature-dependent ultraviolet-visible and photoluminescence spectra results. At the beginning of the cooling process, from 300 to 250 K for MAPbI3 and from 300 to 210 K for FAPbI3, the performance enhancement stems primarily from the enhanced open-circuit voltage by the tuned band gap of the perovskite films. Further lowering the temperature would change the perovskite structure, impairing the performance of PSCs. FAPbI3-based PSCs show a better tolerance in low temperatures owing to the more stable perovskite crystal structure. The present findings offer valuable theoretical guidance for preparing outstanding PSCs for low-temperature applications.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with genetics being a major risk factor. Genetic cardiovascular disease can occur either because of single variant (Mendelian) or polygenic influences and has been linked to inherited cardiovascular conditions (ICC) such as arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, dyslipidemias, and aortopathies which are significant factors leading to sudden cardiac death in young adults. Timely screening, diagnosis, and management of ICC can not only provide life-saving treatment to a patient, but also identify at-risk family members. The field of pharmacogenomics (PGx) helped to understand the variable action of medications such as clopidogrel, aspirin, warfarin, and statin according to genotype. Newer technologies such as multi-omics can combine data from multiple sources such as genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiome. These advancements can contribute to the development of polygenic prediction scores and precision medicine tailored to individual genotypes. Substantial strides have been made in genetic-based therapeutics, gene editing technologies, and drug delivery systems, which have significantly expanded treatment options for patients with acquired or inherited CVDs. Although variable, the country- and society-specific guidelines on genetic testing for ICC and PGx and treatment are being continuously updated to keep up with ongoing research in the field. Along with appropriate knowledge, other factors including cost and availability of genetic testing play a vital role in the usage by both physicians and patients. With the advent of newer genetic testing for CVDs, a key factor is the availability of genetic counselors (GCs) who are specifically trained in cardiovascular genomics. The current review provides a concise summary of the major influences of genetics in the diagnosis and treatment of CVDs.

Peace education is the basis for global peace and a prerequisite for attaining sustainable development and global goals. Considering the widespread physical and structural violence and destructive protests across South African higher education, it is crucial to embrace peace education to deal with violence in all its forms. This article explores the need for peace education in the South African higher education curriculum. A qualitative critical review of the literature reveals widespread gender-based violence, sexual exploitation, destructive student protests at and the militarisation of universities through military force to quell violent student protests nationwide in South Africa. Lack of peace skills indicates that both lecturers, university management and students are in need peace education. Peace education must be incorporated in South African higher education. As part of a model for it, this article recommends the establishment of peace as a stand-alone subject, extra-curricular activities for peace and storytelling to deliver peace education and inculcate a culture of peace in both educators and students. More so, there is a need to embrace the pedagogy of peace education and establish institutes for peace and conflict resolution at every higher education institution in South Africa.

Dirofilaria immitis and D. repens are the two most widespread and important species of mosquito-borne nematodes, posing a significant threat to veterinary health, particularly affecting canines and felines. While D. immitis causes cardiopulmonary dirofilariasis, D. repens causes subcutaneous infections in dogs and other carnivores. Despite extensive knowledge about the aforementioned parasites, little is known about their natural vectors in Serbia. Thus, the aim of this study was to: i) further map out Dirofilaria sp. hotspots in the Vojvodina Province, ii) detect positive mosquito species which can provide insights in how the nematodes spread and adapt to the environmental conditions, and iii) analyze the blood fed mosquitoes females of species found infected to identify the potential source of parasite infection. A total of 2,902 female mosquitoes were collected across 73 locations during 2021 and 2022. Molecular biology methods, based on conventional PCR, were used to analyze non-blood fed (2,521 specimens) and blood fed (381 specimens) mosquito females, in order to detect filarial nematode presence and identify blood meal sources respectively. When the parasite genome was detected, the amplicon (COI gene, 650 bp fragment) was sent for Sanger sequencing, further confirming the presence of nematodes and species assignation. D. immitis was detected in three Culex pipiens mosquitoes collected in XXXX (location and date), while Setaria tundra was detected in Aedes vexans and Aedes caspius. This work adds two new locations where D. immitis occurs in Vojvodina, and is the first report of S. tundra on the territory of Serbia. Blood meal analysis provided insights into the preferences of mosquitoes that were positive for Dirofilaria sp. and S. tundra.

Breast cancer, when advancing to a metastatic stage, involves the liver, impacting over 50% of cases and significantly diminishing survival rates. Presently, a lack of tailored therapeutic protocols for Breast Cancer Liver Metastasis (BCLM) underscores the need for a deeper understanding of molecular patterns governing this complication. Therefore, by analyzing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between primary breast tumors and BCLM lesions, it aimed to shed light on the diversities of this process. This research investigates Breast cancer liver metastasis relapse by employing a comprehensive approach that integrates data filtering, Gene Ontology and KEGG Pathway Analysis, Overall Survival analysis, identification of the Alteration in the DEGs, Visualization of Protein-Protein Interaction Network, Signor 2.0, identification of positively correlated genes, screening results of the function of hub genes, immune cell infiltration analysis, genetic alternation analysis, Copy number variant analysis, Gene to mRNA interaction, transcription factor analysis , autodocking and identification of Potential Treatment Target. This study’s integrative approach unveils metabolic reprogramming, suggesting altered PCK1 and LPL expression as key in breast cancer metastasis recurrence.

Elastic yarns are the key component of high-performance compression garments. However, it remains a challenge to fabricate anti-fatigue yarns with high mechanical force and long elongation for generating compression garments with prolonged wear. In this paper, we report the development of anti-fatigue double-wrapped yarns with excellent mechanical properties by wrapping high-denier Spandex with nylon filaments in opposite twists. In particular, 560D high-denier Spandex as the core was untwisted which can maximumly reduce the interaction between the core and wrapping filaments, enabling high elongation of the double-wrapped yarns. In addition, we chose 70D nylon filaments with a tensile force of 387.40 ± 8.82 cN as the wrapping materials to provide sufficient force for double-wrapped yarns. Notably, opposite twists were induced for the inner and outer wrapping filaments to achieve a balanced stable yarn structure. By systematically optimizing manufacturing parameters including inner wrapping density, outer wrapping density, taking-up ratio, and drafting ratio, we obtained double-wrapped yarn with excellent tensile force (952.00 ± 24.03 cN) and elongation (357.28% ± 9.10%). Notably, the stress decay rate of optimized yarns was only 12.0% ± 2.2%. In addition, the optimized yarn was used as the weft-lining yarn for generating weft-lined fabrics, the elastic recovery rate of the obtained fabric was only 2.6% after cyclic stretching, much lower than the control fabric. Our design of anti-fatigue double-wrapped yarns could be widely used for fabricating high-performance compression garments.
Unveiling the Secret Sauce: Unravelling How Teachers Decode School Culture for Optimal Learner Retention in Schools That Are in Adverse Conditions
Authors: Kafu-Quvane Babalwa
Published: April 2024

This paper explores teachers’ professional practices to gain a thorough grasp and a deep understanding of what it takes to retain learners in an environment where most schools fail to do so. I approach the study using a qualitative multiple case study design and position it within the interpretive paradigm. I purposively selected 50 post-level one teachers from five schools. Cavanagh and Dellar’s theory on culture of school improvement, which emphasizes the transformation of schools into learning communities through social interaction, interpersonal relationships, and support among various stakeholders, including parents, teachers, and learners, was used as theoretical lens for this research. To generate data, I used focus group discussions. I present and discuss data through four themes namely, fundamental values, ethics and behaviour in the classroom, their influence in building learners’ moral vocabulary in the classroom, Classroom rituals in running the classroom smoothly and learner productivity, the effects of the celebrations on the classroom-learning communities, role served by heroes and heroines in learners learning together. In conclusion, one dynamic that stood out is that not all values that teachers had were mutually consistent or harmoniously realisable. Despite that, teachers focused on the central task of teaching, learning and management with a sense of responsibility, purpose and commitment. Teachers seemed to have mind-sets that supported a good work ethic, achievement, commitment, passion and love to attend their teaching duties diligently. Teachers uphold the values through rituals that symbolised order, that prepared students for learning and helped in binding learners of the school and teachers to each other and emphasised the unique values of the school culture. They also uphold them by celebrating academic achievement and had learners and other people who were taken as heroes and heroines of the school and were looked up to by other learners and members of the staff and generally set the tone for the way things were done.
