Authors: Bomfim Felipe Ricardo Marcondes do , Mezadri Aline Fuzaro Lopes , Antunes Rafael Felipe Sousa , Lima Diogo Alves da Silva
Published: September 2024

Este artigo explora intervenções pedagógicas projetadas para reduzir a ansiedade acadêmica entre alunos da educação básica. A ansiedade relacionada ao desempenho escolar tem aumentado significativamente, impactando negativamente a saúde mental e o bem-estar dos estudantes. A análise dos dados revela uma forte correlação entre sobrecarga acadêmica e altos níveis de ansiedade (r = 0.510, p < 0.05), destacando a necessidade de intervenções eficazes. O estudo propõe estratégias baseadas em teorias de estresse e coping, como a promoção da inteligência emocional, o desenvolvimento da autoeficácia e a implementação de práticas de avaliação diversificadas. A teoria de coping de Lazarus e Folkman serve de base para sugerir intervenções que ajudem os alunos a gerenciar melhor as demandas escolares. Além disso, são discutidas abordagens como o mindset de crescimento, proposto por Dweck, e a autoeficácia de Bandura, que podem reduzir significativamente a ansiedade e promover um ambiente escolar mais saudável. As conclusões indicam que a reestruturação do ambiente educacional é essencial para melhorar o bem-estar dos alunos, recomendando a integração dessas intervenções como parte de uma abordagem educativa holística.
Reflexões sobre uma Aritmética editada em 1890 pelas professoras do Colégio São José de São Leopoldo/RS para o público feminino
Authors: Kuhn Malcus Cassiano , Britto Silvio Luiz Martins
Published: September 2024

O artigo apresenta reflexões sobre um livro de Aritmética produzido pelas professoras do Colégio São José, de São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, no ano de 1890, para o público feminino. Como o tema se insere na História da Educação Matemática, este estudo qualitativo e documental ampara-se na cultura escolar para análise de um livro que corresponde à segunda parte de uma coleção de três aritméticas. As autoras buscavam algo prático e necessário que visava facilitar o conhecimento de uma ciência nem sempre atrativa para as alunas do Colégio. A obra aborda as quatro operações fundamentais da Aritmética, números complexos e incomplexos, frações decimais e sistema métrico decimal. As atividades propostas no livro, através de exercícios e problemas, desenvolvidos de forma oral e por escrito, com foco no processo de repetição, indicam uma tendência pedagógica de memorização. Com base no exposto, constata-se que a metodologia utilizada pelas professoras nesse livro revela uma cultura escolar que visava despertar nas alunas o desejo de alcançar o conhecimento matemático e sua aplicabilidade. Dessa forma, esperava-se que as egressas propagassem a tradição da Ordem das Irmãs Franciscanas, através do gerenciamento de atividades domésticas e profissionais nas diferentes comunidades do Rio Grande do Sul.

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a resistência à penetração em um Latossolo cultivado com as gramíneas forrageiras Urochloa ruziziensis, Urochloa brizantha cultivar MG-5 Vitória e Megathyrsus maximum cultivar Mombaça, submetido a diferentes graus de compactação (65%, 75%, 85% e 95%) e a uma aplicação de fertilizante nitrogenado (300 kg ha-1). O foco foi tanto na capacidade dessas espécies de melhorar a estrutura do solo quanto em sua susceptibilidade à compactação. As amostras indeformadas foram coletadas após 90 dias em três experimentos independentes. Após a coleta, as amostras foram preparadas e saturadas por 48 horas antes de iniciar o ensaio de resistência à penetração. A avaliação foi realizada em vasos com solo compactado a um grau de compactação de 95%, antes da semeadura. Os modelos matemáticos de resistência à penetração das três gramíneas foram estatisticamente diferentes, exceto nos graus de compactação de 65% e 75%. A Urochloa ruziziensis reduziu a resistência à penetração em 11% em comparação à compactação inicial, enquanto a Urochloa brizantha cultivar MG-5 Vitória e o Megathyrsus maximum cultivar Mombaça apresentaram reduções de 24% e 18%, respectivamente. A Urochloa ruziziensis apresentou a maior resistência à penetração na umidade em capacidade de campo, com grau de compactação de 95%. Todas as três espécies demonstraram potencial para melhorar a estrutura do solo compactado, com a Urochloa brizantha cultivar MG-5 Vitória mostrando a maior eficiência.

Published: September 2024

In recent decades, great attention has been paid in the field of steel structures to the development of innovative structural beam-to-column joints that improve the behaviour of structures under seismic action. The innovation of joints with dampers lies not only in the control of the location of energy dissipation, but also in the possibility to easily replace them. The paper provides a concept for the behaviour of innovative joints with seismic dampers and summarises the state of the art, focusing on the development of a marketable concept for such joints.
Uniaxial compressive and undrained shear strength of soil
Authors: Baletić Doria , Jurić Kaćunić Danijela
Published: September 2024

Uniaxial compressive strength and undrained shear strength are among the most important soil parameters in geotechnical engineering. The unconsolidated undrained triaxial test and the falling cone test determine them. The uniaxial compressive strength of soil is the maximum compressive stress that the soil can withstand before failure in drained conditions. In contrast, the undrained shear strength of the soil represents the maximum shear stress that the soil can withstand before failure in undrained conditions. In this paper, using modular clay as an example, the results of laboratory tests that determine these parameters according to Croatian standards are presented and compared.
Determination of liquefaction potential using a static penetration test
Authors: Vulić Kristina , Librić Lovorka
Published: September 2024

In December 2020, the Sisak-Moslavina County was struck by a 6.2 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale. This earthquake caused liquefaction, a natural phenomenon in saturated granular soils, where sand below the groundwater level temporarily loses its shear strength and behaves like a liquid. The susceptibility of soil to liquefaction is determined through its liquefaction potential. The paper focuses on the area of Milana Makance Street and Slavka Kolara Street, where sand was ejected to the surface, using the results of static penetration tests to determine the liquefaction potential.

The objective of the present study was to radiographically evaluate the presence or absence of failures in endodontic fillings performed at the Faculty of Dentistry of Pernambuco FOP/UPE. A total of 1091 periapical radiographs of teeth treated endodontically in the last two years were selected. The radiographs were observed by three professors who are specialists in endodontics. Radiographs with teeth submitted to apicoectomy surgery, radiographs of the posterior teeth (premolars and molars), teeth with incomplete rhizogenesis, presence of impacted teeth, and total edentulous teeth in the anterior region were considered inappropriate, and treated canals were considered those containing radiopaque material in the pulp cavity or inside the root canal. The collected data were quantified and submitted to statistical analysis. A large percentage of radiographs with teeth treated endodontically and the presence of periapical lesions (51.6%) and slightly fewer teeth treated without lesions (48.4) were observed. When comparing the presence of periapical lesion with the longitudinal limit of filling and the homogeneity of the material, they present better results. At the end of this study, it was possible to observe a statistically significant relationship between unsatisfactory endodontic treatments and periapical lesions.

The discussion raised the urgent need for more research and actions aimed at the conservation and improvement of the species of the cerrado biome, given their importance for biodiversity and their relevance for the maintenance of natural ecosystems. The study also addressed the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of genetic conservation, as well as future trends in this area. In short, the work offers a comprehensive view of the genetic conservation of cerrado species, highlighting the importance of their preservation for environmental sustainability and food security.
PLANT SPECIES DIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING IN NATIVE SAVANNAS AND GRASSLANDS OF THE PLATEAU IN THE META DEPARTMENT, COLOMBIA
Authors: Carrillo-Rozo Jhon Alexander , Rodriguez-Valenzuela Jeisson , Parra-González Sergio David
Published: September 2024

Background: livestock farming has been based on establishing extensive breeding systems (i.e., low density of individuals per unit area). Despite the high diversity of flora in the savanna in the Orinoco plateau of Colombia, there is still a knowledge gap in the characterization of herbaceous and shrub species and their ecosystem functions respectively. Objective: To identify the floristic composition in natural and managed savannas, considering some physicochemical properties of the soils in the Puerto Lopez municipality of the department of Meta. Methodology:  The fieldwork was carried out in three plots (P1, P2 and P3) of 9000 m2 in which the identification of different species, ecosystem functions, and vegetation cover percentage were determined. Also soil parameters were evaluated texture, pH, macroelements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg), and microelements (Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu, B). Results: according to the UPGMA, alpha diversity (Shannon-Weiner, Simpson) and  beta similarity (Jaccard, Sørensen, Sokal and Sneath) indices showed that P1 was different regarding soil properties and dominance of Poaceae species compared to P2 and P3, the latter being very similar in their floristic composition and edaphic characteristics. Implications: This study could be a baseline for better use of ecosystem resources and future management decisions on cattle farms under similar conditions. Conclusion: Alpha diversity was lower in the P1 plot with anthropogenic disturbances compared to those with little or no intervention (P2 and P3). The highest abundance of grass species, shrubs, and even species that may indicate conditions that favor disturbance, such as fire, were found in P2 and P3.

Published: September 2024

Background: The exclusive application of synthetic or organic fertilizers continues to generate controversy. Evidence indicates that the integrated use of these practices can enhance crop nutrition, reduce the reliance on synthetic fertilizers, and mitigate their polluting impact on soil quality.  Objective: To evaluate organic and mineral fertilization doses used on hard yellow maize Megahybrid 619 INIA growth and yield using a liquid biofertilizer derived from slaughterhouse waste fermentation. Methodology: Using a randomized complete block experimental design with a 4x2 factorial arrangement, four doses of NPK chemical fertilization and biofertilizer application were tested. Mineral fertilization was divided into two parts, while slaughterhouse waste fermented biofertilizer applications were carried out via drench during vegetative growth and between the tasselling and grain filling stages at a 50 L∙ha-1 product dose. Results: Liquid biofertilizer (K1) use positively impacted growth, with a comparable effect on height and leaf area applying fertilization medium dose (F2_K1). The lowest dose of chemical fertilization in combination with the biofertilizer (F1_K1) obtained a significantly higher maize harvest index (+14%) compared to complete fertilization (F3_K1). Implications: While the highest fertilization levels did not result in increased yields, it is plausible that under different conditions and with other maize hybrids, significant differences may be observed.  Conclusion: The application of liquid biofertilizer combined with a reduced dose of mineral fertilization results in a higher harvest index and a yield comparable to that achieved with full mineral fertilization in the hard yellow maize Megahybrid 619 INIA.
LA DESCENTRALIZACIÓN DEL SISTEMA DE INNOVACIÓN EN LA AGRICULTURA EN AMÉRICA LATINA
Authors: Ramírez Gómez Carlos , Rodriguez Espinosa Holmes
Published: September 2024

Background. Agricultural innovation systems (AIS) have emerged in various Latin American countries as an organizational and regulatory framework to promote goals such as sectoral competitiveness, technological development, institutional articulation and rural development. Objective. To develop categories of analysis of the innovation system in agriculture, to facilitate a greater understanding of dynamics that can be configured at regional and local rural scales for developing Latin American countries. Methodology. Based on a qualitative methodology of documentary research based on an extensive bibliographic review, a specific state of the art was carried out for the concept: Agricultural Innovation System (SIA), in order to understand various forms of approach and its interrelation with the territorial question. For the literature search plan, several databases and literature search equations were selected and finally analysis categories were constructed. Results. This study generated four frameworks for analyzing and approaching the innovation system in agriculture from a decentralization perspective: the system from the rural territorial approach; purposes and functions of a territorial innovation system; the farmer and his organizations as intermediaries in innovation at local scales; and the innovation system as a model of rural territorial extension. Implications. Our results provide knowledge about the perspective of the decentralization of the agricultural innovation system specifically for the Latin American context, which for several years has moved towards the rural territorial approach, the recognition of rural regions and their territorial particularities. Conclusion. The results of this study contribute at least two important contributions. Firstly, the classification of rural territory as a key level of analysis for the decentralization of the national agricultural innovation system. In addition, it provides elements that allow us to contribute to the design of public policies for agricultural innovation.

Streszczenie
         Algi są różnorodną grupą organizmów, występującą najczęściej w środowisku wodnym. Wśród nich wyróżniamy różne typy filogenetyczne, między innymi: sinice, zielenice, brunatnice i krasnorosty. Algi stanowią naturalne źródło wielu substancji odżywczych, w tym białek, witamin, kwasów tłuszczowych, mikro- i makroelementów. Ich metabolity cechuje wielokierunkowa aktywność biologiczna: przeciwzapalna, antyoksydacyjna, antybakteryjna a także, według niektórych badań przeciwnowotworowa. Potwierdzają to wyniki badań o charakterze in vitro oraz in vivo. Ze względu na wysoką wartość odżywczą oraz potencjał prozdrowotny, niektóre algi otrzymały status żywności funkcjonalnej. Algi stosowane są również jako dodatki do żywności i w przemyśle biopaliwowym. Znalazły zastosowanie w lecznictwie między innymi jako składnik opatrunków. Do produktów kosmetycznych algi dodawane są ze względu na działanie przeciwstarzeniowe, a także fotoprotekcyjne. Niniejsza praca omawia pozycję systematyczną alg, ich budowę i wytwarzane związki chemiczne, a także charakteryzuje algi jako grupę organizmów o interesującym potencjale biologicznym oraz wysokiej przydatności do wykorzystania w różnych gałęziach przemysłu.
MOŻLIWOŚĆ WYKORZYSTANIA HORTITERAPII PRZEZ TERAPEUTÓW ZAJĘCIOWYCH
Authors: Kolański Aleksander , Warachim Mariusz
Published: September 2024

W Polsce, opieka nad osobami niesamodzielnymi, starszymi i przewlekle chorymi jest zorganizowana w strukturach podlegających Ministerstwu Zdrowia oraz Ministerstwu Rodziny, Pracy i Polityki Społecznej. Terapia zajęciowa jest  elementem wsparcia w wielu placówkach opieki, takich jak zakłady opiekuńczo-lecznicze, domy pomocy społecznej i  warsztaty terapii zajęciowej. Jedną z metod tej terapii, zyskującą na popularności, jest hortiterapia – forma leczenia wykorzystująca pracę z roślinami i kontakt z przyrodą.
Hortiterapia może przybierać formę czynną, polegającą na aktywnościach ogrodniczych (uprawa, pielęgnacja, zbiór roślin), lub bierną, obejmującą odpoczynek w otoczeniu zieleni i  spacery w przyrodzie. Ta forma terapii ma udowodniony pozytywny wpływ na zdrowie psychiczne i fizyczne, pomagając redukować stres, poprawiać koordynację wzrokowo-ruchową i stymulować zmysły. Interesującymi przykładami zastosowania hortiterapii są projekty realizowane w Zakładzie Pielęgnacyjno-Opiekuńczym im. ks. Jerzego Popiełuszki w  Toruniu oraz w Warsztatach Terapii Zajęciowej w Tucholi. Zajęcia te, dostosowane do indywidualnych potrzeb pacjentów, prowadzą do poprawy ich kondycji psychofizycznej, zwiększają poczucie własnej wartości i ułatwiają integrację społeczną.
Ponadto, podczas zajęć hortiterapii można wykonywać masaże kończyn przy użyciu materiałów naturalnych, takich jak szyszki czy woreczki z nasionami, co wspiera rehabilitację i stymuluje zmysły. Inną formą terapii jest tworzenie dekoracji z materiałów pochodzenia naturalnego, co rozwija kreatywność i umiejętności manualne pacjentów, szczególnie w  okresie jesienno-zimowym, gdy prace ogrodowe są ograniczone.
Hortiterapia jest efektywną metodą terapeutyczną, która może znaleźć zastosowanie w pracy terapeutów zajęciowych. Praca w ogrodzie i kontakt z roślinami oraz terapia z użyciem materiałów pochodzenia naturalnego przy zachowaniu zasad obowiązujących w fizjoterapii mogą poprawić zaburzone funkcje psychofizyczne osób starszych i niepełnosprawnych.

The Evaluation Purposes Visualization
Authors: Azzam Tarek , Donaldson Stewart
Published: September 2024

Background: The article outlines the development of a visualization that aimed to represent the purpose of different evaluation theories. This visualization used a stream/river metaphor to show the evolution of different purposes (e.g. utilization, knowledge generation, accountability) of evaluation, and also highlighted the historical context that had influenced their development. The visualization shows that the end goal of all these evaluation approaches (i.e. the ocean in which the rivers flow towards) is societal improvement.
Purpose: The article highlights the lessons learned and influences that led to the development of an evaluation theory categorization system. We hope that this would serve as an example (and maybe inspiration) for future efforts that aim to understand how evaluation theories have evolved and developed.

A Map Of Uses Of Impact Evaluation Approaches
Authors: Delahais Thomas , Devaux-Spatarakis Agathe , Jégou François , Rousseau Karen
Published: September 2024

Background: Not all evaluation practitioners are experts in the diversity of impact evaluation approaches. How can these approaches be made clear and accessible? How can practitioners be better able to choose the relevant one? A collaborative project was initiated in 2021 to address these questions, and involved the French Development Agency’s evaluation officers, external evaluators, and public-sector co-designers.
Purpose: This article presents the development of a visual tool designed to facilitate meaningful discussions between evaluation officers and project managers regarding an array of available impact evaluation approaches. In our view, the positive reception of the map of uses of impact evaluation approaches within and beyond the Agence française de développement underscores the significance of anchoring discussions on evaluation scope and methodologies in real-world evaluation uses.

Visualizing Evaluation Theory: Current Reflections and Future Projections
Authors: Mark Mel
Published: September 2024

Background: Among other potential benefits, evaluation theories are intended to serve as a guide to evaluation practice. Scholars have offered alternative visual representations of multiple evaluation theories, their contents and/or interrelationships.
Purpose: I offer brief commentary on the evaluation theory visualizations in other articles in this special section of the Journal of Multidisciplinary Evaluation (JMDE). I suggest evaluators should be familiar with multiple representations. I also speculate about a future generation of visual representations which might be interactive, allowing evaluators to select the level of detail most useful to them.
Osmanlı Devleti’nin Göç ve İskân Siyasetinin Uluslararası Boyutu (1850-1915)
Authors: Özhazar İbrahim
Published: September 2024

Göç ve iskânın yönetilmesi Osmanlı Devleti için her dönem yönetimin en önemli meselelerinden biri olmuştur. Osmanlı Devleti’nin göç ve iskân siyasetinde ülke içi siyaset etkili olduğu gibi uluslararası müdahaleler de et-kili olmuştur. Osmanlı Devleti’nin göç yönetiminde diğer devletlerin etkisi devletin son yıllarında etkisini arttırmıştır. Osmanlı topraklarına göç eden veya Osmanlı topraklarından göç ederek başka ülkelere yerleşen göçmenle-rin sayısının milyonları bulması bu durumun başlıca nedenlerindendir. Os-manlı tebaasının çok uluslu ve çok dinli/mezhepli yapısı, göçlerin önemli bir kısmının başka ülkeler tarafından işgal edilen veya Osmanlı’dan ayrılarak bağımsızlığını kazanmış ülkelerin topraklarından gerçekleşmesi, göç edenle-rin tabiiyetleri, yabancı misyonerlerin faaliyetleri gibi sebepler, devletin göç siyasetine uluslararası müdahalelerin zeminini oluşturmuştur. Osmanlı Dev-leti, göç ve iskân siyasetini oluştururken ve uygularken sadece kendi iç di-namiklerini değil, uluslararası dengeleri de dikkate almak durumunda kal-mıştır. Bu durum Osmanlı’nın kimi zaman kendi güvenlik ve iktisadî çıkar-larından taviz vermesine, öncelikli göç ve iskân siyasetine alternatifler oluş-turmaya itmiştir. Bu bağlamda Osmanlı Devleti’nin göç ve iskân siyasetine yapılan müdahaleler, bunların hangi metotlarla yapıldığı, devletin göçmen-leri yönlendirirken diğer devletlerle nasıl bir diplomasi yürüttüğü gibi soru-lara cevap bulmak için başta İngiltere ve Rusya gibi devletlerle nasıl bir dip-lomasi yürüttüğü çeşitli örnekler üzerinden ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda yapılan müdahaleler amaç-sonuç ilişkisi içerisinde incelenmiş, müdahaleleri gerçekleştiren kişi ve kurumlar örnek vakalar üze-rinden ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Osmanlı Devleti’nin göç siyasetinin oluşmasında uluslararası müdahalelerin ne kadar büyük bir etkisi ortaya konulmuş, müdahalelerin sadece dışarından değil çeşitli kurum ve kişilerle içeriden de yapılabildiği tespit edilmiştir. Zaman zaman uluslararası denge-leri korumak adına Osmanlı kendi çıkarlarından ve göçmenlerin isteklerin-den tavizler vermek zorunda kalmıştır.

Introduction: Many methods are used for ear tipping, but the majority of practitioners have experience with only one. This study sought the most effective method of ear tipping, with the primary outcome being breakthrough bleeding, and secondary outcomes being immediate bleeding, duration, conformation to target length, cosmesis, client satisfaction, and tipper preference.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial, conducted between June 2022 and February 2023, enrolled cats at least 6 months old presented for Trap-Neuter-Return to one of seven techniques. Techniques were combinations of cutting tools, including Mayo scissors (MS), wood burning tool (WBT), and scalpel blade (SB), and hemostatic agents, including styptic gel (gel) and compounded hemostatic paste (CHP), and hemostat (H). Removal of 1 cm of the left ear pinna was timed, and breakthrough bleeding, the primary outcome measure, was blindly assessed. Client satisfaction was captured at discharge, 1 day, and 1 month, and cosmesis determined by three blinded independent raters.
Results: There were 252 cats from 80 unique colonies, with 36 per group, across 8 clinic days. The overall rate of breakthrough bleeding was 7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4–11%) and differed by technique (P < 0.0001). Neither WBT+H nor MS+H had any occurrences (95% CI: 0–10%), while SB+H/gel had the most (29%, 95% CI: 15–48%). The median time was 10 s (interquartile range [IQR] 7, 13). Tips were greater than target with WBT+H (33%, odds ratio [OR]: 3.8, P < 0.0001) as compared to SB+H. While SB+H had the highest mean cosmesis score (5.12/6, standard deviation [SD]: 0.87), WBT+H (4.4/6, SD 1.07) scored significantly lower (P = 0.002). Clients were satisfied with 88% (95% CI: 83–92%) of the ear tips at discharge (although response rate was insufficient for 24-hour and 1-month post), and there were no associations with technique. All 4 tippers preferred SB+H/CHP.
Conclusion: No technique was superior in all measures. While WBT+H and MS+H were superior by the primary outcome, SB+H/CHP was unanimously preferred by tippers.

This literature review discusses efforts to enhance cognitive behavioral therapy in addressing social phobia, such as social anxiety disorder, by utilizing serious games and virtual reality exposure therapy. In the worldwide context of the COVID-19 outbreak, conventional cognitive behavioral therapy faces significant challenges, prompting practitioners and researchers to seek innovative e solutions. During the conducted literature review, several research articles were identified that explore the utilization of virtual reality exposure therapy and serious games within the stages of cognitive behavioral therapy. Using the PICOC method and software such as Publish or Perish, Zotero, and VOSViewer, 30 journal articles have been obtained, indicating that virtual reality exposure therapy and serious games can enhance the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy. However, there are clear signs suggesting that integrating virtual reality (VR) technology and serious games on smartphones into the cognitive behavioral therapy process could offer a promising avenue for new research. This approach may help address the challenges brought about by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with social anxiety disorder, particularly in Indonesia. Although further research and therapy adaptation according to the cultural context in Indonesia are needed, this development offers new research opportunities as an alternative therapeutic approach with significant advancements in addressing social anxiety disorder.

2049 Biomonitoring of Atmospheric Lead (Pb) Pollutants Using Sphagnum Moss in Bantay, Ilocos Sur, Philippines Xander Paul P. Dalupang, Hannah Ashley N. Matias, Monique Louriz D. Rivera, and Jerick A. Viz* Philippine Science High School Ilocos Region Campus, Department of Science and Technology, Brgy. Poblacion East, San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur, Philippines Lead (Pb) pollution is a serious environmental and public health concern. In this study, we used Sphagnum moss bags to biomonitor lead particulates in gasoline stations and mechanic shops in Bantay, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. Lacking an air monitoring station in the municipality, this is the first study to use standard moss biomonitoring to detect atmospheric lead particulates in Ilocos Sur. Using atomic absorption spectroscopy, the moss bags were analyzed after 54 d of exposure. Results showed that the moss bags had accumulated lead – with mean concentrations of 2.1067 ppm in Area 1, 1.5547 ppm in Area 2, and 3.0733 ppm in Area 3. Area 3 had the highest loading values (92–95%), with a significant difference (P > 0.05) in lead content from the control pre-exposure (0.20 ppm). All calculated concentrations were higher than the standards of the Philippine Clean Air Act (0.000164 ppm). This result places the municipality of Bantay at possible risk of atmospheric lead pollution and, thus, highly encourages the creation of policies or initiatives to prevent further risks. Using Pearson’s correlation coefficient, the study also found that the loading values of the moss bags correlated with the station's temperature and humidity, as well as the moss’ hyaline pore size and density. Thus, these results suggest that Sphagnum moss can be a useful low-cost tool for biomonitoring lead pollution and that the environmental factors (temperature and humidity) and moss’ ultrastructures (hyaline pore size and density) may influence the bioaccumulation of lead in moss.

Mining is notorious for contaminating the environment with heavy metals, disrupting the activities of soil fauna such as nematodes, and causing changes in the functions of organisms in the soil ecosystem. This study investigated the survival, reproduction, and typical life history traits (LHTs) of free-living nematodes collected from an artisanal and small-scale gold mine (ASGM) site, including how heavy metals influenced these parameters. Morphological and molecular analyses identified Heterocephalobellus sp. and Cephalobus sp. (Rhabditida: Cephalobidae) from the soil, which were cultured in a bacteriological agar to assess their LHT using the hanging drop technique. These cultured nematodes were then exposed to different temperatures (20, 25, and 30 °C) to determine the optimum conditions for their survival and reproduction. Cultured nematodes were also exposed to copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) to elucidate the effects of these heavy metals on the nematode’s survival, reproduction, and LHT. Our results suggest that the ideal temperature for survival with a high reproduction rate for both species was at 25 °C. Exposure to heavy metals led to decreased survival and reproduction at 25 and 30 °C in both nematodes. In contrast, these nematodes survived longer at 20 °C with delayed reproductive maturity. At 25 °C, the LHT of Heterocephalobellus sp.

The evolving global climate poses challenges to agricultural systems,
necessitating resilience enhancement against environmental variability. This study
explored the intersection of climate dynamics and agricultural practices within food
systems, impacting food security and livelihoods. In Bungoma County, Kenya, agricultural
productivity faces climate change threats, necessitating effective adaptation strategies
for long-term food security. The study's objectives include investigating climate
variability impacts, evaluating adaptation strategies, and assessing socio-economic
implications of climate-resilient practices for long-term food security in the region.
The study utilized a mixed-method design, combining quantitative and qualitative
approaches, with a sample size of 396 using stratified and random sampling to gather
data from targeted One Acre Fund Tupande farmers in nine sub-counties in Bungoma County.
Both survey questionnaire and interviews were employed as data collection tools and
triangulation, ethical considerations, and statistical analysis were key in
understanding climate resilience and enhancing agricultural productivity. Descriptive
and inferential statistics were applied to analyse data. Findings indicate that most
sampled farmers reported significant impacts of changes in weather patterns and climate
variability on agricultural productivity. Farmers perceive traditional farming practices
and modern technologies as effective in mitigating the effects of climate change on
agricultural yields. However, the feasibility of adopting agroforestry practices and
investing in infrastructure for climate resilience is slightly lower. Additionally,
farmers view climate-resilient agricultural practices as economically viable and
beneficial for improving household income and livelihoods. They expressed confidence in
the effectiveness of government policies and the long-term sustainability of these
practices for ensuring food security. The findings highlight the impact of climate
variability on agricultural productivity and farmers value traditional and modern
practices for climate resilience but find agroforestry and infrastructure investment
less feasible. Government policies are trusted for ensuring food security through
sustainable agricultural practices and tailored interventions are recommended. These
results offer insights that can guide the development of tailored interventions to
enhance climate resilience and agricultural productivity among farmers in Bungoma
County. Key words: Adaptation Strategies, Agricultural Productivity, Climate
