Apprentissages scolaires et technologies numériques : une revue critique des méta-analyses
Authors: Leroux Gabrielle , Monteil Jean-Marc , Huguet Pascal
Published: January 2022

Résumé Depuis les teaching machines développées par Skinner jusqu’au développement des techniques d’ adaptive learning ou de réalité virtuelle, les technologies éducatives n’ont cessé de susciter de nouveaux espoirs pour individualiser et diversifier les enseignements, et renforcer ainsi les apprentissages. Alors que les usages numériques se développent dans les classes, les débats sur leur efficacité se font plus vifs. Depuis une quarantaine d’années, de nombreux travaux ont tenté d’en mesurer l’impact et de synthétiser les résultats obtenus sous la forme de méta-analyses. Notre article présente cette littérature méta-analytique avec un point de vue critique. L’objectif est d’éclairer le débat sur l’intérêt du développement des usages numériques à l’école et d’esquisser de nouvelles pistes de recherche susceptibles d’en préciser la portée et les limites.
Autoconsommation collective ou solidarité nationale ? L’adaptation controversée de la tarification du réseau d’électricité pour les autoconsommateurs
Authors: Fonteneau Thibaut
Published: January 2022

L’article analyse la mise œuvre controversée de l’autoconsommation collective en France entre 2017 et 2019, en la replaçant dans la dynamique historique récente de baisse des tarifs d’achats et d’émergence des communautés énergétiques. En s’appuyant sur la théorie des agencements marchands issue de la sociologie économique, l’article analyse le cadrage opéré par l’autoconsommation individuelle et l’autoconsommation collective sur les flux d’électricité. Il rentre par la suite dans le détail de la controverse qui a entouré l’adaptation du tarif d’utilisation des réseaux (TURPE) aux autoconsommateurs collectifs. La mise en place d’un tarif abaissé pour les autoconsommateurs collectifs, défendue par certains acteurs comme moyen d’améliorer la rentabilité des projets, a finalement été repoussée au nom du maintien de la cohérence économique et politique du TURPE. Déplier cette controverse permet de questionner la pérennité du principe de solidarité national, assuré par le réseau et son tarif, dans le cadre d’une transition énergétique s’opérant de plus en plus à des échelles locales. En conséquence, l’article invite les futurs travaux en sociologie économique, portant sur l’énergie, à saisir les tarifs de réseau comme objet d’étude et à davantage prendre en compte la question des échelles (spatiales, administratives, techniques) dans l’étude des agencements et de la valuation.
Pratiques d’enseignement faisant obstacle à l’autorégulation d’élèves institutionnellement déclarés à besoins éducatifs particuliers : quelques conditions pour leur permettre d’être autrement capables
Authors: Pelgrims Greta , Delorme Coralie , Chlostova Muñoz Michaela
Published: January 2022

Les dispositifs d’enseignement spécialisé et de soutien à l’intégration en classe ordinaire d’élèves déclarés à besoins éducatifs particuliers se caractérisent notamment par une fonction essentielle d’aide et des pratiques d’aide dont les élèves semblent dépendre pour s’engager et persévérer dans l’apprentissage. En s’appuyant sur différents résultats de travaux, cet article argumente et illustre comment certaines pratiques nuisent à l’autorégulation socio-affective des élèves confrontés à des obstacles et, partant, à leurs apprentissages. Il propose ensuite certains principes pédagogiques et didactiques guidant, en formation d’enseignants spécialisés, la planification, la mise en place et la régulation de pratiques d’enseignement mieux à même de rendre les élèves autrement capables d’autorégulation et de surmonter des obstacles.
La place des traducteurs dans la mise en œuvre d’une Unité localisée pour l’inclusion scolaire (Ulis) accueillant des jeunes sourds au collège
Authors: Tambone Jeannette , Assude Teresa , Millon-Fauré Karine , Feuilladieu Sylviane
Published: January 2022

L’Unité localisée pour l’inclusion scolaire en collège étudiée (Ulis collège), accueillant des jeunes sourds en parcours bilingue Langue des signes française-français écrit, propose un dispositif scolarisant ces jeunes en classe ordinaire avec la présence de  traducteurs  qui traduisent les cours simultanément en LSF. Pour l’institution, la situation est simple et d’ordre linguistique : l’enseignant enseigne, le traducteur traduit. Or dans les faits, il ne s’agit pas seulement de traduire le discours de l’enseignant, mais la situation d’enseignement elle-même dans toute sa complexité ainsi que le savoir enseigné. L’enquête par entretiens montre que la traduction est à la fois d’ordre linguistique, pédagogique et didactique. Les traducteurs créent les conditions d’apprentissage des élèves sourds en prenant une part de responsabilité dans l’acte d’enseigner sans pour autant prendre la place de l’enseignant de la classe. Leurs ajustements font preuve d’une innovation ordinaire en train de se faire, permettant au dispositif de fonctionner.
Le travail collectif en situation d’intermétiers
Authors: Allenbach Marco , Frangieh Basma , Merini Corinne , Thomazet Serge
Published: January 2022

Des questions sociales vives telles que l’inclusion s’accompagnent de recommandations à développer le travail collectif entre acteurs relevant d’univers professionnels différents. Dans ce contexte, le terme d’ intermétiers  est de plus en plus utilisé par les chercheurs pour qualifier une activité se développant à l’intersection de métiers différents, et impliquant une reconfiguration de leurs frontières respectives. Cet article, en s’appuyant sur des résultats de recherches menées en France, en Suisse et au Liban, identifie divers types de dilemmes et tensions propres à l’activité en intermétiers. Les auteurs décrivent la complexité et la spécificité d’un travail de négociation entre acteurs professionnels, permettant des innovations, dans le travail collectif, pour répondre aux défis d’une approche inclusive. D’objet d’étude, l’intermétiers devient ainsi un concept pouvant éclairer les pratiques.

Nurses' Role in Identifying Elder Financial Abuse
Authors: Schuessler Zohreh
Published: January 2022

One of the current worldwide public health problems is elderly financial abuse (EFA). Although EFA remains a hidden social phenomenon, it has been recognized as a serious concern in the United States, and currently, one in 18 cognitively intact older adults is affected by EFA. Detecting EFA is difficult because the perpetrators are often family members, trusted friends, or guardians. Thus, EFA is frequently unrecognized and grossly under-reported. In the coming decades, EFA will increase as the elderly population continues to grow rapidly worldwide. This article highlights the magnitude of the problem and the role of nurses and other health care providers in identifying, intervening in, and reporting EFA.

, on responsive behavior and family visiting in a long-term care (LTC) home. We were also interested in family and staff perceptions of the technology. A mixed methods research study was conducted over a 6-month period and data were collected using standardized measures and focus groups. Although no significant differences were noted in responsive resident behaviors, focus group data showed the ABBY enriched the care environment and provided additional opportunities for families and staff to engage residents. Although the introduction of a new technology can create challenges for staff, with time, these challenges can be overcome. [

Authors: Alexander Gregory L. , Galambos Colleen , Rantz Marilyn , Shumate Sue , Vogelsmeier Amy , Popejoy Lori , Crecelius Chuck
Published: January 2022

The importance of health information technology use in nursing home (NH) care delivery is a major topic in research exploring methods to improve resident care. Topics of interest include how technology investments, infrastructure, and work-force development lead to better methods of nursing care delivery and outcomes. Value propositions, including perceived benefits, incentives, and system changes recognized by end-users, are important resources to inform NH leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders about technology. The purpose of the current research was to identify and disseminate value propositions from a community of stakeholders using a health information exchange (HIE). Researchers used a nominal group process, including 49 individual stakeholders participating in a national demonstration project to reduce avoidable hospitalizations in NHs. Stakeholders identified 41 total anticipated changes from using HIE. Ten stakeholder types were perceived to have experienced the highest impact from HIE in areas related to resident admissions, communication, and efficiency of care delivery. [

New Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Components Versus Other Contemporary Types of Spacers for the Treatment of Chronic Periprosthetic Knee Infection With a Two-Stage Protocol
Authors: Schneider Andrew M. , Holzmeister Adam M. , FrazzettA Joseph , Adams William , Hopkinson William J. , Brown Nicholas M.
Published: January 2022

The optimal type of antibiotic spacer for the treatment of a knee periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a topic of debate. Although the ultimate goal of an antibiotic spacer is infection control, contemporary spacer iterations, such as the use of a new femoral component (NFC), may offer unique advantages. The primary goal of this study was to compare rates of infection control and functional outcomes between contemporary spacer types. We retrospectively reviewed 96 patients who underwent removal of a total knee arthroplasty with insertion of an antibiotic spacer for knee PJI over a 14-year period at a single institution with a minimum 1-year follow-up. Three patient cohorts were defined based on spacer type: NFC (n=30), cement-on-cement (n=19), and static (n=47). There was no association between spacer type and the odds of infection clearance (
P
=.60). The NFC spacers resulted in increased knee range of motion before replantation and improved ambulatory status at 8 weeks postre-plantation, although no difference was seen at final follow-up. The use of NFC spacers may provide functional advantages over their contemporary counterparts, and the potential of NFC spacers to be used in single-stage exchange arthroplasty remains an appealing area of investigation. Future high-powered, prospective, noninferiority studies between contemporary spacer types are needed. [

Così lontane, così vicine. Famiglie migranti, ruoli familiari e nuove configurazioni di genitorialità
Authors: Crivellaro Francesca
Published: January 2022

La famiglia è stata riconosciuta quale utile entità concettuale a partire dalla quale analizzare l’esperienza migratoria di donne e uomini che articolano il proprio ciclo di vita e scelte riproduttive tra contesti culturali differenti. Nel discorso pubblico, le pratiche delle famiglie migranti sono spesso costruite come minaccia alla coesione sociale dei paesi d’approdo in quanto ricondotte a sistemi valoriali giudicati incompatibili con la “modernità occidentale”. A partire dai dati raccolti in un’etnografia realizzata a Ravenna, il contributo indaga l’evoluzione dei ruoli di genere e di cura all’interno delle famiglie migranti. Focalizzando lo sguardo, in particolare, sui modi in cui padri e madri rinegoziano – in un più ampio processo di riconfigurazione delle rappresentazioni delle relazioni di coppia e di genitorialità – norme, visioni e pratiche legate alla cura dei figli, il saggio mira a restituire il carattere dinamico dei ruoli familiari che il discorso pubblico tende ad oscurare.

Addressing the Unemployed Graduate Challenge Through Student Entrepreneurship and Innovation in South Africa's Higher Education
Authors: Tshishonga Ndwakhulu Stephen
Published: January 2022

This chapter addresses graduate unemployment through student entrepreneurship in the context of South African higher education. The graduate unemployment rate of South Africa is estimated at 33.5% for the youth (15–24) and 10.2% for those aged 25–34. Unemployed graduate phenomenon as depicted by the FeesMustFall campaign is exacerbated by untransformed curriculum which does not provide students with the relevant skills to match the labour demands. In this regard, this chapter argues that student entrepreneurship remains one of the strategies university-based youth or students could not only a space to gain business skills and experience, but also a forum where they can put their creative ideas into income generating projects. The chapter first looks at student entrepreneurship and the challenges faced by tertiary students. Second, it explores the opportunities created through entrepreneurship, the challenges faced by student entrepreneurs, and finally, the support needed to run successful student entrepreneurship.

A Qualitative Research on the Work-Family-Life Balance Perception of Working Fathers
Authors: Umutlu Selin
Published: January 2022

Work-life and work-family-life balance can be expressed as the balance between the demands of an individual's work life and private life, and the demands of work life and family life. The issue of ensuring the harmony between work-family and work-life is taken into consideration by researchers, and studies on this subject are gaining momentum day by day. As in many countries around the world, family-friendly organization practices are taking place in Turkey to address this situation, and many social policies are implemented in order to harmonize the areas of work-life and work-family life. However, although studies on working women are included in detail, studies related with working fathers are very rare. In the study, the concepts of work-life balance and work-family-life balance will be discussed in detail. In addition, the fact of being a working father for working fathers who tend to establish work-family-life balance, and the thoughts of working fathers about whether they can establish a work-family-life balance will be discussed within the scope of the interviews.

Smartphone-Induced Digital Distractions
Authors: Hartley Kendall
Published: January 2022

This chapter investigates smartphone-induced digital distractions through the lens of social cognitive theory and self-regulated learning. Social cognitive theory's reciprocal triarchic conceptualization is matched with the current role of the smartphone in the learning environment. Self-regulated learning is used to frame the challenges and opportunities presented by the smartphone. A final section suggests two opportunities for generating positive educational outcomes in light of social cognitive theory and self-regulated learning. The first is opportunity described as a reclamation of the dominant narrative regarding the educative role of personal technology. The second is the development of the individual learning scientist.

Authors: Son Hyunjin , Lee Miyoung , Eun Youngduck , Park Wonseo , Park Kyounghee , Kwon Sora , Kim Seungjin , Kim Changhoon
Published: January 2022

OBJECTIVES: In July 2019, there were multiple reports on patients with hepatitis A among the visitors of a restaurant in Busan. The current study presents the results of an epidemiological investigation and outlines the supplementary measures that would help with hepatitis A control.METHODS: A cohort study was conducted for all 2,865 customers who visited restaurant A from June to July. Using a standardized questionnaire, participants reported the presence of hepatitis A symptoms and whether they had consumed any of 19 food items. As for participants who had visited public health centers, their specimens were collected.RESULTS: From the study cohort, 155 participants (5.4%) had confirmed hepatitis A. The epidemic curve was unimodal, and the median number of days from the restaurant visit to symptom onset was 31 days. A genotype analysis indicated that 89 of 90 tested patients had hepatitis A virus (HAV) genotype 1A. The results of a multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the ingestion of salted clams increased the risk of hepatitis A by 68.12 times (95% confidence interval [CI], 9.22 to 510.87). In an unopened package of salted clams found and secured through traceback investigation, HAV genotype 1A was detected.CONCLUSIONS: To prevent people from ingesting uncooked clams, there needs to be more efforts to publicize the dangers of uncooked clams; the food sampling test standards for salted clams should also be expanded. Furthermore, a laboratory surveillance system based on molecular genetics should be established to detect outbreaks earlier.
Association of participation in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 with mental disorders and suicidal behaviour
Authors: Kerkelä Martta , Gissler Mika , Veijola Juha
Published: January 2022

OBJECTIVES:In prospective follow-up studies, participants are normally contacted during the follow-up period. Even though the idea is not to intervene, the studies conducted during follow-up may affect the target population. Our hypotheses were that participation in the prospective Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 study (NFBC 1986) increased the use of mental health services and reduced suicidal behaviour due to participation in follow-up studies.METHODS: The NFBC 1986 study covered people with an expected date of birth between July 1985 and June 1986 in northern Finland (n=9,396). The participants of the NFBC 1986 were followed since the antenatal period with follow-ups including clinical examinations. The comparison cohort comprised people born in the same area in 1987 (n=8,959), who were not contacted. Registry data on psychiatric treatment, suicide attempts, and suicides were available. Crude risk ratios (RRs) and adjusted (for marital status and education) Mantel-Haenszel RRs were reported.RESULTS: No increase in mental disorders were found in NFBC 1986 compared to comparison cohort. In the crude RR analysis of female participants, a lower risk for suicide attempts was found (RR, 0.67; 95% confidence interval, 0.49 to 0.92; p=0.011).CONCLUSIONS: The results did not support our first hypothesis regarding the increased use of mental health services in the NFBC 1986 cohort. However, our second hypothesis gained some support as female participants of the NFBC 1986 had a lower risk of suicide attempts, although it was not due to a higher number of participants receiving psychiatric treatment.

Authors: Geurts Sandra M. E. , Aarts Anne M. W. M. , Verbeek André L. M. , Chen Tony H. H. , Broeders Mireille J. M. , Duffy Stephen W.
Published: January 2022

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to provide an overview of published mathematical estimation approaches to quantify the duration of the preclinical detectable phase (PCDP) using data from cancer screening programs.METHODS: A systematic search of PubMed and Embase was conducted for original studies presenting mathematical approaches using screening data. The studies were categorized by mathematical approach, data source, and assumptions made. Furthermore, estimates of the duration of the PCDP of breast and colorectal cancer were reported per study population.RESULTS: From 689 publications, 34 estimation methods were included. Five distinct types of mathematical estimation approaches were identified: prevalence-to-incidence ratio (n=8), maximum likelihood estimation (n=16), expectation-maximization algorithm (n=1), regression of observed on expected (n=6) and Bayesian Markov-chain Monte Carlo estimation (n=5). Fourteen studies used data from both screened and unscreened populations, whereas 19 studies included only information from a screened population. Estimates of the duration of the PCDP varied between 2 years and 7 years for breast cancer in the Health Insurance Plan study (annual mammography and clinical breast examinations in women aged 40-64 years) and 2 years and 5 years for colorectal cancer in the Calvados study (a guaiac fecal occult blood test in men and women aged 45-74 years).CONCLUSIONS: Different types of mathematical approaches lead to different estimates of the PCDP duration. We advise researchers to use the method that matches the data available, and to use multiple methods for estimation when possible, since no method is perfect.

Świat jako podstawowa kategoria filozofii wychowania Martina Bubera
Authors: Kościelniak Marek
Published: January 2022

Artykuł poświęcony jest kategorii pojęciowej „świat”, która odgrywa istotną rolę nie tylko w samej filozofii Martina Bubera, lecz stanowi również ważny element koncepcji wychowania. Świadczą o tym stwierdzenia zawarte w mowie „O tym, co wychowawcze” [Über das Erzieherische]: świat „płodzi w jednostce osobę”, „wychowuje człowieka”. Objaśnieniu tych stwierdzeń służy przeprowadzona w artykule prezentacja buberowskiej koncepcji dwojakości świata jako „świata Ono” [Eswelt] i „świata Ty” [Duwelt]. Jako kluczowy problem rozważanej filozofii zidentyfikowana została kwestia sposobu przezwyciężenia kryzysu współczesnego świata wywołanego dominacją deterministycznego, monologicznego, uprzedmiotawiającego „świata Ono” nad światem autentycznych międzyludzkich relacji, czyli nad „światem Ty”. W swoim fundamentalnym dziele „Ja i Ty”, autor przekonuje, że przezwyciężenie tego kryzysu zależy od pewnego rodzaju przeniesienia w codzienne życie ludzi obecności Boga, jakiej każdy może doświadczyć w bezpośredniej relacji z Nim („relacja absolutna”, „relacja czysta”). Intensyfikacja i zagęszczenie momentów relacji w materii ludzkiego życia przyniesie, zdaniem autora, stopniową przemianę wszystkich sfer świata: sfera życia z przyrodą stanie się Kosmosem (rzeczywistością, w której zapanuje sensowny, tzn. boski ład), sfera stosunków międzyludzkich stanie się Erosem (rzeczywistością, w której zapanuje ład miłości), zaś sfera ducha stanie się Logosem (rzeczywistością, w której twórcza myśl będzie zapładniana przez wydarzenia relacyjne). Zgłębienie filozoficznej koncepcji świata prowadzi do wniosku, że Buber, mówiąc o świecie, który „wychowuje człowieka” ma na myśli świat rozumiany jako Kosmos, Eros i Logos. Wychowawca powinien taki właśnie świat skupiać w swojej osobie i przedstawiać wychowankowi w relacji wychowawczej.

Authors: Gola Beata
Published: January 2022

W artykule przedstawiono postać i poglądy twórcy nowożytnej idei olimpijskiej – Pierre’a de Coubertina na zjawisko przeciążenia umysłowego uczniów oraz rolę sportu w rozwoju człowieka. Rozwój ten opierał na kalokagatii – antycznym ideale wychowania wszechstronnego. W książce Pédagogie sportive(Pedagogika sportowa) francuski myśliciel ukazuje w jaki sposób aktywność fizyczna i sport może wpływać na rozwój moralny, społeczny i zdolności umysłowe. Refleksje i postulaty reformatora edukacji sprzed wieku okazują się być aktualne wobec współczesnych wyzwań wychowania fizycznego dzieci i młodzieży. Dotyczy to m. in. ograniczania w szkolnej edukacji naturalnej potrzeby ruchu u młodszych uczniów, sedenteryjnego trybu życia, hipokinezji, niechęci uczniów do uczestniczenia w lekcjach wychowania fizycznego, braku odpowiedniej infrastruktury sportowej do podejmowania aktywności fizycznej w szkole czy niedomogów edukacji zdrowotnej.

The thought of the creator of the modern Olympic idea, Pierre de Coubertin, in the context of contemporary challenges of physical education of children and youth in Poland

The article presents the figure and views of the creator of the modern Olympic idea - Pierre de Coubertin on the phenomenon of mental overload of students and the role of sport in human development. This development was based on kalokagathia - an ancient ideal of comprehensive education. In his book „Pédagogie sportive” (Sport Pedagogy), the French thinker shows how physical activity and sport can influence moral, social and mental development. The reflections and postulates of the reformer of education from a century ago turn out to be up-to-date with contemporary challenges of physical education of children and youth. These include limiting the natural need for physical activity in younger students, sedentary lifestyles, hypokinesia, students' reluctance to participate in physical education classes, lack of adequate sports infrastructure for physical activity at school, and deficiencies in health education.

Soil is contaminated with various potentially harmful metals (PTMs). Therefore, the adequate protection of soil from contamination is imperative, as the soil is regarded as the primary cradle for living and environmental balance. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to assess the contamination level by PTMs in Touggourt city, where soil samples have been collected randomly from 18 sites. These sites included manufacturing companies and institutions belonging to the industrial region of Touggourt city. The concentrations of six PTMs - zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and manganese (Mn) were assessed using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) instrument as well as the application of the modern pollution indices such as CF (Contamination Factor), PLI (Pollution Load Index) and EF (Enrichment Factor). The highest values of contamination factor (CF) for Zn, Fe, Co, Cu, and Pb were 0.605, 1.605, 0.277, 0.05, 0.438, and 0.01, respectively, and the highest value of pollution load index (PLI) was 0.139, while the results of enrichment factor (EF) for the Zn, Mn, Co, Cu and Pb metals were 2.608, 0.060, 0.740, 0.122, and 2.358, respectively. According to these pollution indices, the results of this study have indicated that human effects or industrial wastes and traffic, in particular, were the sources of heavy metal contaminating the studied region.

A large quantity of trace metals has been continuously polluting the environment as a result of increasing urbanization and industrial processes. In 2016-2017, the metal (Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Zn) levels were determined in fecal pellets of Blue Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) at Bais Godam (industrial location) in Jaipur and Chittora (rural location) in Rajasthan, India. Fecal pellets in industrial regions which are under higher anthropogenic influence exhibited higher metal concentrations when compared with the fecal pellets of the same species in rural area which have minimal anthropogenic input, with statistically significant industrial-rural differences in the metal concentrations except for Ni. Results obtained in this study, as well as the comparison with literature data, indicated that concentrations of Cr and Cu were high in fecal pellets of Blue Rock Pigeon in the industrial region of the present study. Furthermore, many significant correlations were also observed between metal levels in the industrial region which could be attributed to a similar source. Moreover, contamination levels of pigeon excrement serve as one of the most compelling indicators in terrestrial systems for the monitoring of metal pollution levels.
Microplastics in Landfills: A Comprehensive Review on Occurrence, Characteristics and Pathways to the Aquatic Environment

Microplastics, a multi-dimensional environmental stressor group, capable of transboundary migration, are a threat to the global ecosystem. Transboundary migration of microplastics across all environmental matrices is known to originate from a multitude of sources and acts in conjugation with each other. This inter-dependence of sources calls for a detailed scientific analysis of all the sources that are in play. Waste management facilities have already been established as a significant contributor of microplastics to the aquatic and terrestrial environment. A systematic overview of the scientific literature reveals that the existing body of scientific knowledge is mainly focused on wastewater treatment facilities as a source/pathway of microplastics in the environment. Recently the focus shifted towards solid waste management facilities through landfills. Poor plastic waste management practices made discarded plastics the most dominant component of solid wastes. This review elucidates the occurrence and distribution of microplastics, characteristics of microplastics, including size, shapes, colors, and polymer types, in leachate and refuse of landfills. Furthermore, we discussed the transport mechanisms and pathways used by microplastic present in landfills to migrate to subsurface or groundwater and adjacent aquatic bodies. Last, based on the findings, we summarized the gaps in existing studies and suggested future perspectives to be focused on the future. The abundance of microplastics is attributed to the volume of plastic waste in landfills, management of leachate originating from landfills, application of leachate, and age of landfills. Microplastics abundance and characteristics vary in leachate and refuse. Smaller microplastics are predominant in leachate while larger microplastics are predominant in refuse. Landfills are capable of generating secondary microplastics from fragmentation and degradation. Further studies on microplastics in landfills are necessa

The potential of carbon sequestration of tree species in the Chintapalle forest range, of Narsipatnam Division, was estimated by using a non-destructive method. The sequestration of 6033 trees belonging to 22 species was investigated; the approximate height of tree species and the diameter at breast height (DBH) were measured for the estimation of CO2 sequestration. The maximum weight of carbon was observed in Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre species i.e (37987.06 kg) and the minimum weight of carbon was noted in Phyllanthus emblica L. species i.e is (61.8kg). The total carbon sequestrated by the entire tree species was (2370614.0 kg), The average carbon sequestered was (39865.81 kg). The highest sequestration was noted in the species P. pinnata (L.) Pierre i.e. (139271.95 kg) and the lowest (226.79 kg) was noted in the species P. emblica L. The maximum average DBH with maximum carbon sequestration potential was observed in Ficus benghalensis L. species, with higher total green (AGW) observed in all sites, whereas minimum average DBH with minimum carbon sequestration potential was noted in Bambusa vulgaris species. The regression analysis tests the relationship between two variables. The height of trees has no significant impact on the amount of CO2 sequestered F (32085087175.84, 12946607900) = 2.478262; P ? 0.05, which indicates that the tree height plays an insignificant role in CO2 sequestration (? = 2713.28 P ? 0.05). The dependent variable CO2 sequestered was also regressed on the predictor variable soil organic carbon (SOC) to test the relationship. SOC insignificantly predicted CO2 sequestrated F (5.83, 2.62) = 0.2236; P ? 0.25, indicating that the SOC has an insignificant role in CO2 sequestration (? = 102780.3 P ? 0.05). Insignificant relation was observed between the parameters SOC and height of tree species to the rate of carbon dioxide sequestered, and gave a regression equation of y = 10278x + 50863 with R2 = 0.100; y=2713.285803x-209800.8762 with R2 = 0.55
Deep soil ploughing for afforestation: a review of potential impacts on soil and vegetation

Deep ploughing—which inverts, covers, or mixes soil organic layer (forest floor) and surface mineral A horizon into the mineral subsoil, burying the upper soil horizon in deeper layers, and disrupting pedogenic processes—is a debatable topic in forest plantation management. Overall, this review article aimed to identify the impacts of deep ploughing on the properties of forest plantations, adapting experiences from the agricultural sector. This paper examines the main impacts of deep ploughing technology on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties, ground vegetation, and tree aboveground and belowground biomass in afforested former agricultural land. Analysis of the published literature shows that deep ploughing can be used under different climatic and soil conditions, but it induces site-specific changes in soil properties and vegetation. Mechanical site preparation during afforestation and reforestation should follow the requirements of sustainable soil management, in order to avoid negative effects on the environment and biodiversity. Based on this analysis, we suggest key indicators that may be specific to deep ploughing responses in afforested sites and can contribute to risk assessment, aimed at achieving sustainable forest management. To date, most studies on mechanical site preparation for forest plantation have been performed using a few conifer tree species; therefore, it is important to expand empirical studies.
