This article presents the findings of an international comparative multiple-case study that examined the sudden change from classroom to remote online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study specifically explored the experiences of teachers in Northern Finland, England, and Norway to provide new information about the education situation and to guide the description of the areas that should guide the education of future teachers.

The data were collected in three different ways in three different contexts: via an online survey of in-service teachers in Lapland, Finland (N = 164), and through different semi-structured interviews with teachers in England (N = 20) and Northern Norway (N = 30). The data analysis was conducted in two phases. The first phase focused on teachers’ experiences in teaching and learning and the second phase on teachers’ challenges.

The results voice the teachers’ desire for more education on online pedagogy and practicals, the pedagogical use of technology, and the significance of teacher collaboration.

The findings can be used for the development of teacher education to ensure the dynamic digitalization of future teacher education programmes and policies.

Authors: Khatoon Salma , Muhammad Sultan , Shah Azaz Ali
Published: May 2023

Strategic reading has been recognized as an important and critical skill that ensures better reading comprehension abilities. It is evident from Second Language (L2) reading research that less skilled readers are unaware of the use and importance of reading strategies. English is the official language of Pakistan and is used in almost every field of life. Despite this wide use of English, English language teaching and learning in Pakistan is unsatisfactory. This study explored the use of reading strategies by undergraduate and graduate-level learners of English in Pakistan. A Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS) was used to collect data. Fifty undergraduate-level and fifty graduate-level learners participated in the study. Results of the current study showed that almost all the learners frequently used almost all the reading strategies. No statistically significant difference in the use of reading strategies was found between undergraduate and graduate-level learners. Support reading strategies were preferred more by undergraduate-level learners, and graduate-level learners preferred global reading strategies. No statistically significant difference was found between the male and female learners of English in terms of the use of reading strategies.

Reading the piece of writings in the target language is also suggested to enhance creative ability, while the basic tenets of English Grammar can also be improved through a comparative study of the grammatical concepts. The study aims to identify, discuss, explain, and categorize the grammatical errors, especially errors in present indefinite tense sentences committed by the ESL learners of 6th grade at Cantt Public High School, Sialkot, Pakistan, due to overgeneralization in written exercises. The study gathered data through a worksheet task comprising 10 items of translation sentences from Urdu to English and ten items of English fill-in-the-blanks comprised of grammatical use of present simple tense and agreement morpheme. Corder’s model (1967) of error analysis has opted to analyze the errors in the present indefinite tense. This study pays great attention to overgeneralization in Present Indefinite tense sentences of ESL learners of 6th grade. The learners overgeneralize in the use of rules used for verb forms and auxiliary verbs. The present study also found that a lack of knowledge of the rules of the target language, in addition, to overgeneralization, is the cause of such errors, for instance, the inappropriate use of prepositions. The findings suggest that teachers of English should focus their attention on the troublesome aspect of the present simple tense while also encouraging students to apply the drill practice to the study of the present indefinite tense. This study has a few limitations as it was not feasible for researchers to analyze all kinds of tenses and find all types of errors according to the opted model due to time restraints.
Chemistry of biotites from the Skalote granitoid complex, Hellenic Rhodope, Greece
Authors: Kotopouli Constantina
Published: May 2023

Electron microprobe analyses and structural formulae of biotites from the granitoid rocks of the Cretaceous Skalote plutonic complex are presented. The complex grades eastwards from a horn-blende-biotite granodiorite facies near its western margin to biotite and biotite-muscovite granite facie s. In passing from the granodiorites to the two-mica granites, the biotites exhibit an increase in Fet/Fet+Mg, Ti and total AI and a decrease in Si contents. The interelement variations and mineral associations indicate crystallization of the biotites of the granodiorites under oxygen fugacity intermediate between the Ni-NiO and magnetite-hematite buffer curves; and are consistent with a solidification trend whereby the biotites of the granites evolved from those of the granodiorites mainly through FeMg1 exchange and, possibly, Ti-vacancy and Tschermak's substitutions.

Published: May 2023

O objetivo da pesquisa foi conhecer a percepção dos agricultores familiares da Feira Agroecológica de Sumé-PB sobre o solo e a agroecologia. O estudo constou de um questionário semiestruturado com 10 questões que abordaram o uso, as práticas de degradação e conservação do solo. Participaram da pesquisa 12 agricultores que fazem parte da Feira Agroecológica. Os resultados indicam que os agricultores têm uma visão amadurecida sobre o solo e as práticas agroecológicas conservacionistas, relacionando a cor do solo à fertilidade. As observações nas falas dos entrevistados indica a preocupação em cuidar do solo, não fazendo queimadas, não desmatando e não utilizando agrotóxicos na produção agrícola, mas evidenciam a ausência da atuação da extensão rural para desseminaçao dos conhecimentos da ciência agroecologia dentro da agricultura familiar. Entende-se por isso, que os estudos de percepção são importante ferramenta para entender as necessidades e potencialidades do povo do campo no trato com a terra. As informações passadas e as trocas de experiência entre os vários atores sociais possibilitam a criação e redesenho das práticas que podem ajudar no manejo dos agroecossistemas dos integrantes da Feira Agroecológica de Sumé. De modo geral, a partir dos diálogos mantidos, evidencia-se a necessidade da intervenção extensionista e do poder público para aperfeiçoar os diálogos sobre a transição agroecológica na região e fortalecer a preservação dos recursos naturais.

Authors:   , de Sousa Soares Caroline
Published: May 2023

A pesquisa foi realizada do dia 31 de agosto ao dia 15 de dezembro de 2017 utilizando 80 animais com peso médio inicial de 437kg. A dieta utilizada foi a base de grão de milho, no qual eram utilizados (85%) de milho e (15%) de núcleo peletizado. Em que nos primeiros 15 dias os animais passaram por um período de adaptação, onde foi sendo implantada a dieta do alto grão, e realizando a retirada do volumoso, que a quantidade do núcleo se deu em torno de 2% do peso vivo dos animais, sendo a cada dois dias ajustado o novo consumo com um incremento médio a mais de 10% dos dias anteriores. Com isso os animais passaram 90 dias em confinamento a base da dieta. A cada 15 dias os animais foram submetidos a pesagens, precedidos de jejum sólido, sempre no período da manhã. A partir dos valores das pesagens foram determinados os valores de peso inicial (PI), peso médio (PM) e peso final (PF) e calculado o ganho médio diário (GMD). Verificou-se que o ganho de peso médio diário foi de 1,20kg durante todo período experimental, no qual cada animal ganhou em média 125 kg. O uso da dieta de alto grão pode ser efetivado como forma de incrementar os ganhos, principalmente em épocas onde a sazonalidade das forrageiras pode comprometer os índices de desempenho animal. A observação do custo do alimento, tanto o grão, quanto do núcleo, serão determinantes na escolha da dieta de alto grão para atingir os objetivos no confinamento de bovinos de corte de forma vantajosa.

Electrically Mediated Water Flow in Nanochannels
Authors: Beskok Ali
Published: May 2023

Motivated by electrowetting-based flow control in nano-systems, water transport in graphene nanochannels is investigated. Molecular dynamics simulations of force-driven water flow in graphene nano-channels subjected to opposing surface charges respond to the electric field by reorientation of their dipoles. This creates flow asymmetry and surface charge dependent variations in the slip velocity and bulk viscosity. Beyond a certain threshold, electro-crystallization of water in nanochannels at room temperature is observed. The second part of the talk will focus on electroosmotic flow (EOF) of ionized water in silicon nanochannels in the Debye–Hückel regime. The onset of slip velocity within the thin electrical double layer region and its effects on EOF will be presented. Influences of increased surface charge density in the intermediate and flow-reversal regimes will also be discussed and the results will be compared with relevant high-order continuum models that include the over-screening and crowding effects.
Potential Health Risks Categorisation and Atmospheric Pollutant Load from Spontaneous Fire Outbreak in Olusosun Landfill Lagos, Nigeria: Fuzzy Air Quality Index Approach
Authors: Agunbiade F.O. , Odukoya O.O.
Published: May 2023

Background: Atmospheric pollutant loads resulting from landfill fire outbreak and open air burning do negatively impact health but are always reported in concentrations without information on the synergistic effects of multiple exposures which air quality index do provide. Objective: The Fuzzy Air Quality Index (FAQI) was formulated to better measure multiple exposures effect of this landfill air pollution and categorise the health risks. Methods: Pollutants in the landfill such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5), coarse particulate matter (PM10), nitrogen (IV) oxide (NO2), sulphur (IV) oxide (SO2) and carbon (II) oxide (CO) were measured and formulated into FAQI relative to regulatory standards and applied for potential health risk categorization. Results: The results showed that the concentrations of the air pollutants were in the following ranges: PM2.5 (28–326 µg/m3), PM10 (23-428 µg/m3), NO2 (78-925 ppb), SO2 (72-190 ppb) and CO (6-47 ppm). The observed variations in the concentrations of the atmospheric pollutants were decreased with increasing distance from the landfill. The fuzzy membership function placed NO2 in the hazardous class in most of the sites. The FAQI also categorized all the sites into hazardous health impact class except location F6 which was 1153 m away from the landfill. Some inhabitant in the landfill neighbourhood surveyed reported health challenges such as skin irritation, chest related problems among others. Conclusion: The relocation of the landfill or building of tall incinerators for controlled burning and effluent treatment before discharge into the atmosphere will reduce the pollutant load.

Objectives: The study aimed to describe current treatment practices using the World Health Organizations (WHO) core and other indicators, as well as document the consumption of analgesics, antibiotics and antihypertensive drugs at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Lagos, Nigeria. Methods: The study was a descriptive, retrospective study of prescriptions filed in the out-patient Pharmacy Department from January to December 2015. Data was collected using an adapted WHO/INRUD (International Network on Rational Use of Drugs) prescribing indicator proforma and descriptive and inferential analyses were carried out as necessary using SPSS version 20.0. P- values of < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: A total of 198 prescriptions and 676 drugs were assessed. The average number of drugs per prescription was 3.41, generic prescribing was 62% and proportion of prescribed drugs actually dispensed was 45%. Antihypertensives, analgesics and antibiotics made up 42%, 14% and 14% respectively of the 676 drugs prescribed. Conclusion: The prescribing pattern in the Lagos University Teaching Hospital is not in accordance with the required WHO/ INRUD standard with polypharmacy, low generic prescribing and low proportion of drugs actually dispensed. An urgent need exists for interventions to improve rational drug use in the facility.

Objective: This study assessed the benefits of ginger (Zingiber officinale)/garlic (Allium sativum) extracts and snail (Archachatina marginata) slime on cardiovascular and renal parameters in high salt diet hypertensive female rats. Method: Sixty-four female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 8 groups; control (rat chow for 14 weeks); salt (high salt diet, 8% NaCl for 14 weeks); control + garlic (as control, received garlic extract 1 ml/100 g body weight (BW) daily from 10th to 14th week); salt + garlic (as salt, received garlic extract as control + garlic); control + ginger (as control, received ginger extract 1 ml/ 100 g BW daily from 10th to 14th week); salt + ginger (as salt, received ginger extract as control + ginger); control + slime (as control, received snail slime 300 mg/kg orally from 10th to 14th week); and salt + slime (as salt, received snail slime as control + slime). This was followed by invasive blood pressure (BP) parameters measurement using the Powerlab instrument and plasma samples were taken for electrolytes, urea and creatinine measurements. Results: BP parameters were significantly higher (p<0.05) in salt and salt + garlic compared with control groups. Salt +ginger and salt + slime groups had significantly lower (p<0.05) BP parameters compared with salt groups. Plasma chloride was significantly lower (p<0.05) in salt + ginger compared with control, salt and control + ginger groups. Creatinine was significantly lower (p<0.05) in salt compared with control, salt + garlic, salt + ginger and salt + slime groups. On the other hand, urea was significantly higher (p<0.05) in salt compared with salt + ginger and salt + slime groups. Also, water intake was significantly higher (p<0.05) in salt, salt + garlic, salt + ginger and salt + slime groups compared with control groups. Conclusion: Ginger and garlic aqueous extracts alongside snail slime significantly decreased blood pressure parameters and this reduction could not be directly linked to the effects of these extracts on renal function in female hypertensive state.

Background: Myriantus arboreus P. Beauv (Cecropiaceae) is used in traditional medicine for management of systemic pathologies. Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the protective role of the methanol stem bark extract of M. arboreus (MEMA) in anthracene-induced nephrotoxicity in laboratory rats. Materials and Methods: Forty rats were randomly divided into five groups of eight rats each comprising Group 1: 10 mL/kg of 5% Tween 20 as vehicle treated control; Group 2: 50 mg/kg anthracene (ANTH) as positive control; Group 3: 100 mg/kg; and Group 4: 200 mg/kg MEMA respectively. Groups 3 and 4 were administered the extract for 7 days followed by co-administration with 50 mg/kg ANTH p.o. for 21 days. Animals in Group 5 were administered only the extract at 200 mg/kg for 21 days p.o. Results: Creatinine was significantly (p<0.01) increased on exposure to ANTH. However, creatinine was significantly (p<0.01) reduced in rats co-administered MEMA and ANTH. Renal tissues showed a significant (p<0.001) reduction in reduced glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in ANTH exposed rats compared to MEMA and ANTH exposed. Catalase (CAT) was significantly (p<0.05) increased in animals administered only MEMA compared to ANTH and vehicle treated control animals. Malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly (p<0.01) increased on exposure to ANTH but was significantly reduced on treatment with 200 mg/kg MEMA. On histopathological assessment, ANTH exposed rats presented with section of the kidney showing massive renal necrosis. However, there was a remodeling of renal architecture observed as normal renal architecture with minimal renal damage on co-administration with MEMA. Conclusion: The extract significantly reduced the anthracene-induced increase in creatinine level and also modulated the architectural damage of the kidney caused by anthracene. The improvements in the antioxidant indices are suggestive renoprotective mechanisms of the extract.

Published: May 2023

當前臺灣長期照顧是從社區照顧關懷據點模式發展為長照1.0及2.0，與英國西元2000年之前的社區照顧發展過程相仿。本研究旨在探討英國和臺灣社區長期照顧的福利多元主義模式發展歷程。其研究方法係採用解釋性比較研究，在較複雜的體系內，探討部份政策改變的效果。研究發現，英國在機構照顧、社區內照顧之後，由1980s由社區來照顧至1993以後在社區範圍內的照顧階段，與臺灣2005之後兩階段相似。顯示臺灣從英國之模式中有所借鑒，使相關的預算支出獲得相當的控制。本研究建議高齡化國家初期以社區照顧據點自助、社區式長期照顧公助和機構式補助為主，中期則採取社區長期照顧和機構長期照顧的公助相輔相成之方式，而超高齡國家則需以長照保險發展共助來穩定財源。

 

This study focuses on community care in Taiwan and the United Kingdom. The comparative analysis was applied to explore the development process of community-based LTC in the United Kingdom and Taiwan from a welfare pluralism perspective. The study found that the United Kingdom and Taiwan have experienced similar policy ideas and practice shifts, that is, from “Care by the Community” to “Care within the Community”. In the time of change, the United Kingdom took place in 1993 and Taiwan in 2005. This study suggests that the national long-term care service strategies should be adjusted according to the degree of population aging. In the early stage, self-help community care bases and community care are mainly used, combined with institutional subsidies. In the medium term, community care, and institutional care provided by the government will be adopted. When reaching the super-advanced age, long-term care insurance will be needed to stabilize financial resources.

Authors: Jihane El Houssni , Siham El Haddad , Basma Dghoughi , Saber Abdellah Bassel , Latifa Chat , Nazik Allali
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor in children, most often occurring in the lower extremity of the femur, and is known to be particularly aggressive, with a high risk of metastasis. The most frequent secondary localizations are pulmonary and bone metastases; peritoneal metastases are extremely rare and have a poor prognosis.

Case Report: We report the case of a 14-year-old child with a history of a treated right femoral osteosarcoma, which presented with peritoneal and pulmonary metastases.

Conclusion: Imaging plays a very important role in the management of patients with osteosarcoma, it allows an early detection of metastases through a rigorous clinicoradiological surveillance, metastases usually have the same radiological appearance as the primary tumor and the diagnosis of certainty is essentially based on anatomopathological study.

Por la defensa de la libertad: participación juvenil en torno a las ideas liberales/libertarias en Mendoza, Argentina.
Authors: Stacchiola Octavio , Seca María Victoria
Published: May 2023

El siguiente artículo es una investigación de carácter exploratorio sobre la politización juvenil en torno a las prácticas políticas y los discursos de la derecha liberla/libertaria en la provincia de Mendoza durante el año 2022. Exploramos los perfiles de jóvenes (militantes y adherentes) libertarios/liberales, sus compromisos militantes y el proceso de subjetivación política. Trabajamos con técnicas cualitativas y cuantitativas. Concluimos que el fenómeno de la participación en este espacio político en Mendoza está atravesado por una impronta juvenil de sectores sociales diversos. Además, se presenta como un espacio fuertemente masculinizado y son convocados por la noción de libertad individual y el descrédito de las políticas progresistas.

Published: May 2023

This study examined determinants and level of economic efficiency of rice production in Anambra State, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to: estimate the level of economic efficiency attained by rice farmers in the area; ascertain the determinants of level of economic efficiency attained by the farmers and assess the nature of returns to scale of rice production in the study area. Two hypotheses tested were: there is no significant difference between the levels of economic efficiency attained by farmers in the selected agricultural zones and socio-economic characteristics of the rice farmers do not significantly influence their economic efficiency level.  Primary data were used for the study and Multistage, purposive and random sampling methods were used select 378 respondents. The collated data were analyzed by means of descriptive and inferential statistical tools such as Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, Cobb Douglas Stochastic Frontier Production function and Scheffe’s Multiple Comparison test. Findings indicated a minimum economic efficiency score of 0.86, maximum of

0.99 and mean of 0.95 for rice farmers in the study area. Scheffe’s Multiple Comparison test indicated significant difference between means of economic efficiency scores and per hectare profits of farmers from paired agricultural zones. Maximun Likelihood Estimation of the Cobb Douglas stochastic frontier production regression showed that the production factors of land, labour and other inputs significantly and positively influenced economic efficiency level of the farmers. Inefficiency effect was significantly and negatively affected by educational level and amount of credit obtained; significantly and positively affected by farming experience while extension visit and farm size were not significant. Returns to scale figures were 1.32, 1.25, 1.15 and 1.12 for Anambra, Aguata and Awka Agricultural zones, and the State (pooled data) respectively. This implies increasing returns to scale across the Agricultural zones and the study area. It is recommended that Government should ensure adequate budgetary allocations to the institutions responsible for making cheap loans available to farmers while the institutions should maintain timely disbursement of the funds.
ANTIOXIDANT THERAPY IN THE ELDERLY WITH TINNITUS: SYSTEMATICS REVIEW
Authors: Syahputra Febrian
Published: May 2023

Tinnitus is one of the most prevalent and annoying disorders that affect the ear and the auditory system. It is one of the most important symptoms in neurootology, along with hearing loss, vertigo, dizziness, and nausea. It can cause a variety of somatic and psychological disorders that interfere with a person's quality of life. There is a correlation between oxidative stress and tinnitus. Hair cell apoptosis, cochlear degeneration, alterations to supporting structures and stria vascularis, changes to the nerve fibers of the acoustic nerve, irregular neuronal activity in the auditory pathway, and malfunction in the central cortex are all possible outcomes of oxidative stress. Animal models of aging, noise damage, and ototoxicity have been used to investigate the relationship between oxidative stress and the death of hair cells. Antioxidants are substances that can take on a wide variety of chemical structures, but they are categorized as a single class because they share the ability to neutralize the effects of highly reactive and potentially damaging free radicals. These radicals are produced when foods undergo the necessary oxidation reactions that are a natural part of the digestion process. Antioxidant supplementation with vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) might have therapeutic effects on tinnitus by reducing the subjective discomfort and the level of severity caused by the ringing in the ears.

Published: May 2023

Los medios de comunicación juegan un papel importante en la consolidación del turismo oscuro; suelen ser los encargados de difundir los hechos y lugares que luego serán objeto de una visita turística. Este artículo propone cuantificar esta relación comparando el contenido proyectado en un medio (un podcast) y el número de visitas a un área (contadas vía Instagram). En concreto, analizaremos el caso de un pequeño pueblo de los Pirineos (Tor) donde se produjeron tres asesinatos. Así, este artículo también contribuye a resaltar la importancia del turismo oscuro en las zonas rurales. Los resultados muestran una correlación positiva entre las personas a las que puede llegar un medio y el número de visitas a un área. Los resultados también muestran el potencial del turismo oscuro para complementar la imagen turística de una zona rural.
Within Special Education, teacher training and profile, lines that connect and cross in the inclusive school environment

Published: May 2023

This article is written with emphasis on the history of Inclusive Education in Brazil, as well as highlights the national and international legal frameworks, from an inclusive perspective. As the general objective of analyzing the profile and training of the Inclusive Education teacher, in a municipality in Bahia, in view of the need and urgency of a full and egalitarian education, where rights are made possible and guaranteed to all students. In this, it is understood that not only People with Disabilities are part of those who benefit from inclusion, but all children, young people and adults who, for some reason, are distanced from their basic rights to education and social experience. It is a quali-quantitative research, through questionnaires and reality analysis. The inclusion of People with Disabilities is a politically correct proposal that represents important symbolic values. The results indicate that there is much to be done regarding inclusion, although this cause has advanced on the national scene, it is still not sufficient and effective in all places and schools. Finally, inclusion is born from an ideological principle in defense of equal rights and access for all citizens.
The spectacle of knowledge and the Psychology of Education in modernity: under the aegis of the construction of learning
Authors: Santos Marilea Andrade , Leal Débora Araújo
Published: May 2023

Society gains in its social environment a science that seeks, for plausible reasons, the idea of the human being. The adopted methodology was the bibliographical research. With that comes a new society, where transformation starts to challenge its education. Seeking to understand that current education suffers from a sequence of prejudices since inequality is its greatest challenge, the new education seeks to level these erroneous concepts that are incorporated into human action. Evaluating the system granted to the right and duty of the citizen, whose knowledge results in the psychological development of the being, is that the dynamics of this study will deal in its details with a psychology that transforms, dynamizes and clarifies every reason for being. Since psychology is the study of human behavior, nothing is more striking than inserting into this science the responsibility that should be maintained in the social environment, since moral issues elevate man to the principle that he should respect everyone.
