Published: July 2022

Background and aims: Burnout in medical students shows interest that has grown significantly over the last few years. This study’s aim is to know the prevalence of burnout in medical students which will help us to determine if this syndrome is common among medical students and if it needs intervention.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with all medical students who were enrolled in the 2019/2020 year at King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Socio-demographic, burnout level (Maslach Burnout Inventory-General survey for students) data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Studies, Chi-square test was used for categorical variables and univariate logistic regression was used to assess the associated factors with burnout.

Results: In this study, 337 students were involved, the response rate was (79.2%). The mean age of the participants was 21.5 ±1.46 years, of whom males were (64.99%) while the females were (35.01%). The level of high burnout founded as (9.8%, n=33), while (25.5%, n=86) of students had high levels of emotional exhaustion, (29.4%, n=99) had high levels of cynicism and (34.4%, n=116) had a low level of professional efficacy.

Conclusion: Prevalence of burnout was found to be less than estimated documented studies in the region. Academic year was significantly associated with the level of burnout, especially the third academic year, no statistical significance to the association of burnout with gender and age was found. There is a gap in the literature need to be fulfilled to gain more knowledge about causes and effect of burnout.
Study of heart rate variability to assess autonomic dysfunction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of a tertiary care hospital of West Bengal: A cross-sectional comparative study
Authors: Das Maumita , Mitra Krishnachura , Banerjee Tanmoy
Published: July 2022

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. COPD and its complications also lead to a large number of deaths every year in our country. Cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death are the major complications of COPD leading to death and disability. Such cardiac complications are often a result of autonomic dysfunction.

Aims and Objectives: This study aims to find out the autonomic dysfunction in moderate COPD patients by comparing their heart rate variability (HRV) parameters with age and sex matched healthy controls.

Materials and Methods: After obtaining approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee, 48 patients of moderate COPD and 54 healthy subjects were assessed and compared with respect to their HRV parameters which included Mean RR, Mean HR, SDNN, NN50, pNN50, root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), high frequency (HF), low frequency (LF), LF/HF ratio, and SD2/SD1 ratio.

Results: It was found that in comparison to healthy controls, patients of moderate COPD had significant alteration in the following HRV parameters – Mean HR (P: 0.001), RMSSD (P: 0.002), SDNN (P: 0.015), NN50 (P: 0.001), pNN50 (P: 0.000), HF (NU/normalized unit) [P: 0.033], HF (%) [P: 0.002], LF (NU/normalized unit) [P: 0.033], LF (%) [P: 0.012], and LF/HF (P: 0.033).

Conclusion: As there is a significant alteration of several HRV parameters in moderate COPD patients, we conclude that HRV measurement may subserve as a simple and non-invasive tool to assess autonomic dysfunction in patients of COPD at the earliest.

Authors: Chattopadhyay Suman , Mandal Ananya , Das Rahul , Ghosh Arijit , Mondal Supreeti
Published: July 2022

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI), a common bacterial infection managed in general practice, is the second most common cause for antibiotic use in primary care setting. Antibiotic prescription is mostly empirical in UTI and it is imperative to choose one highly sensitive drug against the common pathogens.

Aims and Objectives: In this study, it has been tried to find out the magnitude of community-acquired UTI in a rural population of West Bengal, its causative agents, and the sensitivity pattern of urinary isolates to reduce the development of antibiotic resistance.

Materials and Methods: This is an observational, cross-sectional study over 1 year in a rural tertiary care hospital in West Bengal. Culture and sensitivity reports generated from diagnosed UTI patients from the different OPDs of the hospital were analyzed.

Results: Out of 603 reports analyzed, culture-positive reports were 463. Escherichia coli was identified to be the most predominant (61.7%) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (17.3%). The sensitivity report of the empirically given antibiotics shows that among the oral antibiotics, nitrofurantoin was the most sensitive one (92%) followed by ciprofloxacin (83.1%) and ofloxacin (66%). Among the injectables, amikacin (84.5%) and ceftazidime (81.8%) were the antibiotics having the highest sensitivity.

Conclusion: The sensitivity among the uropathogens to the commonly used antibiotics shows higher resistance rate toward norfloxacin, cephalexin, cotrimoxazole, ampicillin, amoxicillin, co-amoxiclav, and cefuroxime. Oral antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin and ciprofloxacin and parenteral antibiotic amikacin have found to be of higher sensitivity among all organisms identified clubbed together.

The Design and Analysis of the Bra Fit on V-Stitcher 3D Software
Authors:   Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Technology-VNU–HCM, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Thi Nguyen Mong Hien
Published: July 2022

This study presents the algorithm to extract the size of the ready-to-wear clothing, which is men’s T-shirts with f. house branding. The table has four sizes, and the size labels are signed by S, M, L, and XL. Authors use fuzzy logic to establish the algorithm model. In this model, the input variables have three inputs, which are the body height, weight, and bust girth measurements. In the output variables are the results of size coding. From this size chart table, the authors choose the primary dimensions to be the input variables of the algorithm. The first dimension is a vertical dimension, and the other two dimensions are horizontal dimensions. The vertical dimension is height. Two horizontal dimensions are weight and bust girth. The sizes in the table are encoded to be used for the algorithm results, and the output is the encoded sequence number, which is also the size to be searched. After running this simulation program, measurements of three primary dimensions in size are tested on customers using two methods for two objects. An algorithm for extracting the size of ready-to-wear clothes by the fuzzy logic method reduces the time it takes to choose the size that fits body measurements. In addition, this research direction is consistent with the trend of digital development.

This paper presents the results of research and design of women's bras and analysis of the product's fit on 3D simulation software, V-Stitcher. The study was conducted on 130 females aged 25-35 years old. The research results were divided into four body shape groups from the sample based on classification criteria for FFIT body shape, as measured by principal component analysis, factor cluster analysis, and ANOVA test on SPSS software. Group 1 has 51 people, group 2 has 24 people, group 3 has 51 people, and theb last has 4 people. In each of four groups, choose the one with the highest percentage by sample number to design the base pattern. The products are evaluated on the model to check if the bra is comfortable when people wear it. Besides that, products are simulated through 3D V-Stitcher software to check the fit through the display of different colors on the tension and pressure charts. These evaluation results are checked for reliability by Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. The results of this study provide a way to assess the fit of clothes in accordance with the current 4.0 trend.
Theoretical and Empirical Foundations of Divorce Education: Connecting Program Theory and Curricular Content
Authors: Hardman Alisha M. , Becher Emily H. , McCann Ellie , Powell Sharon E. , Garbow Jennifer , Rajasekar Neeraj , Marczak Mary S.
Published: July 2022

Many parent and family education programs lack a clearly articulated program theory that is solidly founded in the social science literature and used to guide rigorous evaluation. This article describes the program theory for Parents Forever, a divorce education program developed by the Minnesota Extension to serve divorcing parents. The Parents Forever program theory is theoretically based and empirically-informed. The program theory is based on three significant frameworks, which serve as the theoretical foundation for the program: human ecosystems, life course development, and family resilience. These theories are explored and discussed. Three primary change mechanisms relevant for divorcing families serve as the empirical foundation of the program. Parent-child and coparent relationships are commonly addressed in divorce education programs; however, the inclusion of parental self-care as the third mechanism to promote family resilience is a unique contribution of Parents Forever. Relevant concepts derived from the empirical literature related to these three mediators are presented. Connections between the curricular content and program theory (i.e., theoretical framework and three change mechanisms) are made explicit, and program theory is used to demonstrate the unique contribution that Parents Forever makes to the field of divorce education.
Illuminating the Process of Youth Development: The Mediating Effect of Thriving on Youth Development Program Outcomes
Authors: Arnold Mary E. , Gagnon Ryan J.
Published: July 2022

This paper examines the relationship between the developmental contexts of youth programs and resultant developmental outcomes, and explores whether the developmental process of thriving mediates this relationship. Developmental context is proposed to consist of three elements: (1) youth sparks, (2) program quality, and (3) developmental relationships. Combined, these elements describe youth program context more precisely than in previous studies, allowing for a clearer understanding of effective program settings. Likewise, the process of youth thriving provides insight into the mechanism through which youth development occurs. Sufficient model fit, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the 4-H Thriving scale were determined through a multi-phase confirmatory factor analysis. As hypothesized, structural equation modeling revealed a full mediational effect of youth thriving on developmental outcomes. The results of this study guide youth development practitioners to focus on the quality of the developmental context of youth programs and the ways in which programs can promote youth thriving.

Authors: Zhang Youjie , Hurtado Ghaffar A. , Reyes Alejandro Peralta , Brazys Patricia Arellano , Perdue Laura , de Davila Silvia Alvarez , Florex Rafael , Popelka Javiera Monardez , Reicks Marla
Published: July 2022

Latino children have a disproportionately high prevalence of obesity. Parenting styles and food- and activity-related parenting practices influence children’s weight and weight-related behaviors. Fathers are underrepresented in existing healthy lifestyle intervention studies for families. The Padres Preparados, Jóvenes Saludables program was designed with an emphasis on paternal involvement for preventing childhood obesity among early adolescents. It offers eight weekly sessions delivered by Extension educators at community sites, with major topics of parenting skill training, positive parent-adolescent relationships, and healthy lifestyles related to healthy eating, physical activity, and screen time. The current study described pilot testing of the program for feasibility with a small sample of families in the Spring of 2017. Of the thirteen parents enrolled in the program, nine families, including all fathers, completed the program by attending five or more sessions and pre- and post-intervention evaluation sessions. Participant feedback indicated that program satisfaction was high. Participants also reported positive behavioral changes related to dietary intake, food- and activity-related parenting practices, and general parenting style. Findings demonstrated the feasibility of the program for engaging Latino fathers in promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors among early adolescents.

Published: July 2022

Providing quality services is one of the challenges associated with the continued increase in the nation’s older adult population. Effective use of needs assessment data can be useful in assessing service need. This study measures the level of perceived need for supportive services among older adults in Mississippi. Using statewide needs assessment data, this study applies the Behavioral Model to measure the perceived need for supportive services among survey participants aged 60 and older (N = 838). Results indicate that age, race, physical health, and subjective well-being were consistent predictors of perceived need for supportive services. Results suggest the importance of understanding the factors associated with the perceived need for supportive services to more effectively plan service delivery.

THE ECONOMIC EFFECT OF REJOSOPINGGIR UMKM ADVERTISEMENT IN VILLAGE WEBSITE
Authors: Munawaroh Siti , Kamila Zulva Zanna , Putri Tamara Novianti
Published: July 2022

This study discusses the home business listed on the village website. In the home business there are several products, namely, anyaman bamboo, wedek, sesek and meri rejeki. The new Rejosopinggir website was created by researchers due to direct requests from village officials. The purpose of the website is to introduce village profiles and promote village superior products. In addition, many home-based businesses in Rejosopnggir village have not yet entered the social media scene to promote their products. Many home businesses are still using traditional methods for promotion. Examples include traveling throughout the village, approaching the nearest places or minimarkets, and disseminating products by word of mouth. According to Sombert's theory, the home business in Rejosopinggir is still in the first and second eras. Namely, a closed economy and crafts and barter. With this goal in mind, qualitative research is carried out by interviewing the four sources who come from superior products listed on the village website. This program is a forum for our research to become a benchmark for economic improvement in Rejosopinggir. From the results of the interviews, we have known the responses of the four businessmen in Rejosopinggir village. Three of the four interviewees stated that the results of the superior product profile could help them to expand the range of promotions for their products and attract more consumers. One of them thinks otherwise, namely the product profile on the village website needs a lot of improvement, especially in product information and product photos, because superior products always make new innovations. With interviews with the four sources, we can conclude that there are many rooms for improvement, especially the village's superior product menu, especially for detailed information about the local people's production sites as well as including complete product photos.
Szemfelszíni graft versus host betegség : Diagnosztika és terápia gyakorlatunkban
Authors: Füst Ágnes , Ocskay László , Vámos Rita , Dohán Judit , Barcsay-Veres Amarilla , Nagy Zoltán Zsolt
Published: July 2022

Célkitűzés: Az ocularis graft versus host betegség allogén hemopoetikus őssejt-transzplantáció után kialakuló krónikus szemfelszíni gyulladás. Retrospektív tanulmányunkban a 2013. és 2022. február között klinikánk szemfelszíni ambulanciáján megfordult, szemfelszíni graft versus host betegségben szenvedő páciensek adatait dolgoztuk fel. Módszerek: Az anamnesztikus adatok rögzítése után összegyűjtöttük a szemszárazságra utaló tüneteket, a blepharitis jeleit, a kötőhártya belövelltségének és hegesedésének mértékét, valamint a szaruhártya károsodásának súlyosságát. Feljegyeztük az alkalmazott terápiás módszereket, és felmértük a betegek állapotának változását a követési idő alatt. Eredmények: A vizsgált időszakban nyolc ocularis graft versus host betegségben szenvedő beteg állt kezelésünk alatt (2 nő, 6 férfi, életkor 33,3±11,6 év). A szemfelszíni graft versus host betegség a transzplantáció után 5-36 hónappal jelent meg. A szemészeti érintettséget minden esetben megelőzte a szisztémás ocularis graft versus host betegség kialakulása. 5 betegnél a szemszárazság, 3-nál a fényérzékenység volt a vezető panasz. Subconjunctivális hegesedést 4, symblepharont 1 betegnél észleltünk. A corneafelszín enyhébb eltéréseit 4, súlyosabb károsodását 3 betegnél találtuk. A kezelésként a könnypótláson túl saját savó cseppet, fluorometholon-tartalmú szemcseppet, könnypontdugót, terápiás kontaktlencsét, illetve cyc­losporintartalmú szemcseppet alkalmaztunk. A fél évtől 7 évig terjedő követési idő alatt betegeinknél a szemfelszín állapota javult, illetve különböző súlyossági stádiumban stabilizálódott, egyiküknél késői szövődményként bakteriális corneafekély kapcsán teljes limbális őssejt-elégtelenség következett be. Következtetések: Ha az ocularis graft versus host betegséget időben, a kezdeti stádiumban felismerjük és a beteget megfelelő kezeléssel látjuk el, a beteg komfortérzete jelentősen növelhető és a szemfelszín állapota stabilizálható. Későn felfedezett és gondozásba vett betegeknél irreverzibilis károsodás következhet be, ami az életminőséget jelentősen rontja.
Habitar con el circo. Prácticas espaciales y resonancias artísticas a partir de Rosario (Argentina)
Authors: Godoy Sebastián
Published: July 2022

Este artículo se propone analizar las implicancias y los alcances de un caso de apropiación y resignificación espacial mediante prácticas circenses en la ciudad de Rosario (Argentina). A partir del seguimiento del desarrollo y las resonancias de esa experiencia artístico-habitacional, intentaremos trazar una cartografía rastreable a través de cuatro escalas de observación. En primer lugar, situaremos las dinámicas socioculturales que convergieron en la ocupación de la ribera central de Rosario por parte de artistas circenses en la década de 1990. En segundo lugar, estudiaremos las ramificaciones locales de esa experiencia, bifurcadas entre la proliferación de espacios autogestivos y la integración gubernamental. En tercer lugar, escrutaremos las potenciales articulaciones de ese proceso con otras ciudades argentinas, tomando un caso de la ciudad de Buenos Aires. En cuarto lugar, seguiremos algunos de los itinerarios transnacionales de las artes circenses surgidas en la ribera rosarina. Los principales insumos utilizados para la pesquisa son entrevistas cualitativas en profundidad realizadas a los participantes de las experiencias, cotejadas con documentos escritos.
Cartografía de un barrio que danza
Authors: Casella Noelia Belén
Published: July 2022

La propuesta de esta cartografía tiene como anclaje empírico un barrio de la ciudad de Villa María (provincia de Córdoba) llamado La Calera. En este marco, abordo un estudio de caso de un taller de danza comunitaria para niños y niñas bajo el nombre Danza al Frente (2015-2019), del cual fui tallerista. 

Este artículo piensa la importancia del barrio/territorio en los procesos artísticos. En ese sentido, la danza (y el arte en general), la territorialidad y las identidades generan un entrecruzamiento que permite pensar cómo niños y niñas que bailan son también vecinos y vecinas. Este artículo representa un avance de mi tesis doctoral.
Archivo fotográfico y memoria visual: El caso de José La Vía en el “Museo Histórico de San Luis”
Authors: González Carlos Andrés
Published: July 2022

En la ciudad de San Luis, el archivo conformado a partir de la obra fotográfica de José La Vía (1888-1975) se constituye como un espacio simbólico significativo donde se construye discursivamente la identidad puntana. En este artículo, compartimos el avance de un proyecto de investigación, cuyo propósito es comprender la producción de La Vía y su participación en procesos de elaboración de la memoria, la identidad y el imaginario visual.

El análisis discursivo, como práctica de investigación de carácter interdisciplinario, está a la base de la metodología de nuestro trabajo. Abordamos un grupo de imágenes del fotógrafo que actualmente conforman la muestra permanente del Museo Histórico de San Luis. Los casos estudiados se hallan estrechamente entramados con otras representaciones —visuales y/o textuales— en el marco de proyectos identitarios hegemónicos y dan cuenta de la relevancia que las imágenes del acervo adquieren en la cultura visual contemporánea. En este sentido, la utilización de determinadas fotografías de La Vía en contextos discursivos asociados a la construcción de la historia local las torna elementos nucleares de nuestra memoria colectiva.
Un ejercicio de posmemoria. Acerca de Aparecer, del Colectivo Insurgentes
Authors: Dahbar María Victoria
Published: July 2022

El artículo aborda una intervención artística realizada una década atrás en la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina, por el colectivo artístico Insurgentes en el aniversario de la última dictadura cívico-militar (1976-1983). El abordaje de Aparecer, o del combate por la existencia es un ejercicio crítico de posmemoria que busca cartografiar las prácticas de una generación que si bien no es parte de la de los sesenta y setenta cita a las generaciones precedentes. Antes que una traducción literal de la categoría hacia el fenómeno en cuestión, pensamos la posmemoria junto a una práctica artística determinada. La propuesta a) compone la categoría de posmemoria en su dimensión teórica y política, señalando objeciones y potencias; b) presenta una cartografía anacrónica en la que puede situarse a Insurgentes en el activismo artístico de entonces y c) desarrolla la intervención Aparecer en tanto ejercicio de posmemoria, un desajuste temporal trabajado en cuatro dimensiones: la pregunta por lo actual, la relación afectiva con el pasado, la cita y la pregunta por el sujeto.

Acid digestion of silicified shells
Authors: Baars Christian
Published: July 2022

Many fossils can be extracted from their host rock by using acid digestion. Whether this technique is suitable depends upon the mode of preservation. Very good results can be achieved for silicified fossils within a carbonate-rich host rock. However, incomplete silicification may lead to partial loss of fossils in the laboratory. Therefore, prior to commencing acid treatment it is helpful to have some knowledge of the taphonomy of the sample and its ambient depositional environment, as there are important geological factors that have a significant influence on the preparation process.
The St. Aubyn mineral collection (c.1794-2010) at Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery
Authors: Shepherd J.
Published: July 2022

Sir John St. Aubyn (1758-1839) was a collector and a facilitator to science and the arts. His particular interest was for mineralogy and this lead him to create a sizeable mineral collection containing many interesting specimens. Some of these have been collected in the field by Sir John St. Aubyn, but most of the specimens have been bought from dealers or as whole collections in auction rooms. We know that St. Aubyn bought a proportion of John Stuart's, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713-1792) mineral collection from Dr. William Babington (1756-1833) in 1799. He also purchased a smaller mineral collection from the son of Richard Greene� (1716-1793) in the same year. Richard Greene is an important man to all of us, because he opened the first public museum in England. He was also a good friend of Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802). Before his death, Sir John St. Aubyn employed Isaiah Deck of Cambridge to auction his mineral collection. In 1834, Isaiah split the collection and gave two smaller collections to Sir John's wife Juliana and to his daughter Mrs. Parnell. Then a larger collection went to the Civil Military Library at Devonport. Luckily parts of the original collection still exist today in Saffron Walden Museum and in Plymouth City Museum. The minerals that are now in Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery (PCMAG) came to the museum in 1924, on a permanent loan from Devonport. In 2007, PCMAG secured a grant from the Esm�e Fairbairn Foundation, enabling the museum's natural history department to conduct a variety of work on this historic collection. In the following article, I will recount my journey through time as I removed centuries of dust to reveal a collection of scientific and cultural importance.

A field jacket was prepared from the 2008 field season, recovered by a team from the Big Horn Basin Fossil Foundation south of Douglas, Wyoming, quarry information for which is missing or unavailable at this time. Detailed mapping of fossil quarry sites is a necessity for accurate measurement and subsequent study. Often in the field, limited information is available during excavation, leaving the process of preparation of the fossils as vital to the collection of accurate data. During each day of preparation, several digital images were taken. A schematic drawing of the field jacket was also updated with new information as each fossil was uncovered and extracted. The photos were compiled using commercial artistic software (Adobe Photoshop 7.0), and using notes made during preparation the fossils were outlined to create an accurate composite of a portion of the quarry floor for future study.

X-ray micro-tomography (XMT) and 3D image-based modelling software has unlocked the ability to digitally repair distorted or broken fossil specimens, thus permitting interpretation of previously unusable finds in finite element analyses (FEA). A fossilized terminal ungual phalanx from the manus of the dromaeosaur Velociraptor mongoliensis (Manchester Museum, University of Manchester, specimen LL.12392) was scanned at the Henry Moseley X-ray Imaging Facility. Inspection of radiographs revealed the Velociraptor manual ungual was broken in several places, previously going unnoticed due to cement repair of the fossil. After conducting a high resolution scan of the ungual the increased sensitivity of the apparatus enabled separation of areas of differing density, in this case the fossilized bone and cement. Image-based modelling software produced by Simpleware (Simpleware Ltd, Rennes Drive, Exeter, EX4 4RN, UK.) allowed slice-by-slice repair in three planes, resulting in a complete, fully stitched 3D digital model of the ungual, whilst maintaining internal cavities and the micron resolution reconstruction of trabecular bone architecture. This software also has the capability to digitally re-inflate specimens that have been compressed during fossilization, restoring skeletons to their original shape and dimension. 3D dissections on geometrically precise reconstructions allow the interpretation of previously unusable specimens and reinterpretation of already described fossils. Further, use of Simpleware software to convert repaired fossils into microstructurally-faithful finite element meshes enable the biomechanical testing of these repaired structures. Testing of fossil structure and function is already underway at the University of Manchester and is adding to our knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of extinct animal biomaterials.

After its excavation and preparation, the cranium of Bos primigenius Bojanus 1827, found in Upper Pleistocene sediments of the R�o Mart�n Park (Ari�o, Teruel), displayed a series of features that made it unadvisable to subject it to excessive handling, let alone to transport or exhibit it. Preparations for an exhibition of palaeontology in the facilities of the Cultural Park prompted us to find the solution in the production of a replica, but this had to be carried out in such a way as to involve minimal handling and no risk to the fossil remnant. Bearing this in mind, we decided to tackle the project using the technologies of digitization and rapid prototyping, allowing us to find out for ourselves the many advantages and relatively few drawbacks associated with this methodology. The digitization was carried out using the technique known as structured white light triangulation, which generated a CAD-based 3D model that allowed us to approach the replication and other aspects of the research and paleontological operation as set forth and analysed in the present paper. Subsequently, the 3-dimensional CAD solid model was used for replication by means of polyamide sintering technology, which resulted in a replica that was faithful to the original, light and easy to handle. The final step was the artistic decoration of the replica, thus achieving a high level of realism in the finish and readying the replica for the exposition and future studies, or didactical uses.
A mechanical preparation of Rhynie Chert fossils.
Authors: Finney S. M. , Anderson L. I.
Published: July 2022

The Early Devonian Rhynie cherts represent the surface deposits of a subaerial hot spring system. Historically palaeobotanists have studied the exceptionally preserved early land plants contained within the cherts by mounting thin sections of the rock on glass microscope slides. Investigation of plant morphology and life habitat has relied on reconstruction from consecutive serial sections with the inherent loss of information at the blade width scale. Here we detail the previously unrealised potential for some of the Rhynie chert beds to respond well to mechanical preparation. Recognition that some chert beds may be prepared in this way provides an additional technique for the continued investigation of the flora and fauna of this important fossil locality. The technique might find wider application in the investigation of other more recently discovered fossil-bearing sinters worldwide.
Uncurated Curators, No. 3. Ronald Frederick Pickford (1920-2010): Bath curator, a Tribute
Authors: Torrens Hugh
Published: July 2022

Ron Pickford (1920-2010) was given GCG 's first ever award in 1985, and then the Geologists' Association's sad first Halstead medal in 1991. He had been responsible (single-handed) for the rescue, and safe-guarding, of the important Museum collections (containing much vital geology - both of types and historical material) at the long-defunct Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution, from 1960 until his retirement in 1985. By then the Group, and others, had caused enough of a stir to ensure that the Area Museum Service for the South West had taken over some control, and initiated a series of reports, and then a curator post. But Ron's career was a most unusual one; from very humble and troubled beginnings in Bath, he had been stimulated in the 1930s by these very collections, to take a serious, if both unqualified and unpaid, interest in geology. Then, soon after he was appointed to a post as "cleaner/custodian" in the Victoria Art Gallery and Library service in Bath, he saw the depredations which these collections were now suffering, and decided to try, unasked, to secure their future. As a woodworking craftsman, he could create or restore display cases, and, as a sensible and competent person, he could equally ensure that all possible documentation survived as well. He now deserves to be as carefully curated as the materials he rescued, and this paper is intended to record his life and origins, his service in the Royal Navy in WW2, and to provide a tribute to his memory, and record what lessons we can learn from what he, and his fine sense of humour, achieved in Bath.
Preparation of Europe's largest nest of dinosaur eggs

Published: July 2022

In the present work we describe the whole process of extraction and preparation of a large nest of dinosaur eggs. The dinosaur nest found in the locality of Pinyes is the largest one discovered in Europe and the excavation and preparation processes used were very long and complex. The discovery of this nest took place in the year 2005. A new campaign of excava- tions, in 2007, placed particular emphasis on the importance of this nest and it was not until the year 2009 that it could be extracted without damaging the integrity of the fossil. Its preparation, during 2009-2010, has allowed the researchers of the Mesozoic Group (of the ICP) to study it in depth. The investigation has emphasized the rele- vancy of the finding worldwide, since it reveals new information on the reproduc- tive behavior of sauropods. The use of excavation techniques based on the acquisi- tion of three-dimensional data helped during the preparation process, and it has allowed very precise results to be obtained regarding the interpretation of their nests and the way these dinosaurs laid theireggs. These results indicate that the nest con- tained 28 eggs, many more than other nests found in Europe and India. The eggs are positioned in three superimposed levels, and the nest shows an asymmetric, concave and elongated morphology when it is observed in lateral view. The nest is currently exhibited in the Dinosfera Museum, Coll de Narg�, Alt Urgell (Spain).

Australia's first discovered fossil fish is still missing!
Authors: Turner S.
Published: July 2022

Seeking Australian specimens collected in the 19th century always needs detective work. Fossils collected by one colourful collector, the Polish 'Count' Paul Strzelecki, from early travels in the colony of New South Wales are being sought. A 30-year search has still not brought to light in Australia or Britain the first fossil fish found from the Lower Carboniferous of New South Wales.

Published: July 2022

Research conducted in this study aims to determine teachers' opinions regarding how the primary school teacher training policies of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) can be improved. For this purpose, 50 teachers working in primary education institutions were selected to determine the study group. Teachers' opinions were collected through semi-structured interviews. Within the framework of the data obtained from the semi-structured interview forums, it has been tried to determine what are the points that are not considered sufficient in the primary school teacher training policies. Based on the results obtained, there were negative or unpopular opinions regarding teacher training, opinions about the training program adopted, opinions on teachers' competence, opinions on which gains should be prioritized in teacher training programs, opinions about which courses and topics should be included in teacher training programs, and opinions on teacher training in general.
