Tverrfaglighetens mosaikk. Lærerutdanneres perspektiver på tverrfaglighet i skolen.
Authors: Haugen Rubilar Kristine
Published: November 2024

This study investigates how teacher educators who work with decentralized competence development understand interdisciplinarity in schools. The inclusion of three interdisciplinary themes in the Norwegian curriculum has brought interdisciplinarity back on the agenda both in schools and in teacher education, and in in a variety of approaches to institutional collaboration. The research is based on the fact that interdisciplinarity as a concept and phenomenon is multifaceted, which the analysis of qualitative interviews with eight teacher educators helps to substantiate. In various ways, the informants of the study link interdisciplinarity to the categories collaboration, curriculum understanding, interdisciplinary themes and didactics. These categories point to aspects of the phenomena that are not necessarily linked to the degree of interaction between school subjects, but to how teachers work to develop an understanding of the national curriculum and put this into practice. The study argues for a closer look at a form of interdisciplinary didactics as an entry point to further development of theoretical and practical approaches to interdisciplinarity.

AFECTACIÓN A LA VOLUNTAD DE LAS PARTES POR CLÁUSULAS ARBITRALES OBLIGATORIAS EN LOS DOCUMENTOS CONSTITUTIVOS DE SOCIEDADES COMERCIALES EN LA LEGISLACIÓN BOLIVIANA
Authors: ENCINAS PASQUIER GUIDO MARCELO
Published: November 2024

El artículo analiza la afectación a la voluntad de las partes por las cláusulas arbitrales obligatorias en los documentos constitutivos de sociedades comerciales en Bolivia. Se enfoca en la Ley N° 708 de Conciliación y Arbitraje, que establece que las cláusulas deben ser claras y precisas, y que su validez depende del consentimiento informado de todas las partes involucradas. A pesar de esta normativa, muchas veces las cláusulas son impuestas sin un adecuado proceso de negociación, lo que puede limitar la autonomía de los socios y generar conflictos sobre la equidad en las relaciones contractuales. La jurisprudencia boliviana ha enfatizado la necesidad de un consentimiento claro, pero aún enfrenta desafíos en la interpretación de conceptos como el consentimiento tácito y la extensión de cláusulas a partes no firmantes. Comparativamente, se observa que otros países latinoamericanos, como Perú y Colombia, han adoptado enfoques más flexibles que podrían beneficiar a Bolivia. Se concluye que es esencial implementar reformas que aseguren un equilibrio entre la eficiencia del arbitraje y la protección de los derechos de las partes, promoviendo un marco normativo que respete la voluntad de los socios.

Authors: Irshad Asima , Kouser Sidra , Naz Sanam , Rauf Rabia , Aftab Humaira , Yunus Asmara
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background: Competitive sports like basketball, football, and tennis are considered the most effective to reduce anxiety, stress, and depression levels. On the other hand, competitive players exhibit a more significant quality of life than non-players.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the levels of physical activity, psychological wellbeing, and health-related quality of life in female basketball players in Pakistan.
Material and Methods: 121 Pakistani female basketball players participated in this cross-sectional study. Personal information forms, International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short-Form 7 (IPAQ SF 7), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) were used as data collection tools. Univariate statistical analysis was performed to identify the prevalence of each variable individually using the SPSS 21 version.
Results: Out of 121 female participants, 65 were engaged in vigorous physical activity (VPA); 48 were satisfying the criteria for moderate physical activity (MPA), and only 8 females were involved in low physical activity (LPA). Participants had a mean age of 19 years. On the DASS 21 scale, only 3 participants had severe depression; moderate depression was prevalent only in 6 females; mild depression was common in 46 females while 66 females were normal. Severe anxiety levels were present only among 2 females; 6 females were facing moderate anxiety while 45 had mild anxiety. 0.826% of participants had severe stress; 7.438% of females were dealing with moderate stress while 38.84% were dealing with mild stress. Moreover, participants marked more than average scores in each item of the SF-36 questionnaire indicating a significant quality of life.
Conclusion: The majority of female basketball players were highly physically active, and nearly all of them demonstrated excellent psychological well-being and significant health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Though the association is not addressed in this study, however, a considerable amount of literature claims the association of these variables with each other.

Published: November 2024

Background: Piriformis syndrome is characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling from the hip down to the leg. It develops from a variety of contributing factors.
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the effects of active release therapy (ART) and hold relax with agonist contraction (HRAC) on pain, functional disability, and sleep quality in patients with piriformis syndrome.
Material and Methods: This study was conducted from March 2022 to November 2022. A total of 82 participants of both genders, 25 to 55 years of age, diagnosed with piriformis syndrome were involved in the study. Those with a history of fracture of the pelvis or hip, disc disease, or postural deformity were excluded. Participants were assigned into two groups; HRAC and ART with routine physical therapy. Outcome measures were pain, functional disability, and sleep quality measured by the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire, and Chronic Pain Sleep Inventory respectively. Assessment was made at baseline, at the end of 1st and 2nd week. Mann-Whitney Test was used for between-group analysis and Friedman’s ANOVA was computed for within-group differences.
Results: Between-groups analysis showed a statistically significant difference in pain score (P ≤ 0.05), but no significant difference was found between both techniques regarding functional disability and sleep quality (P ≥ 0.05). However, the within-group analysis showed statistically significant results in all outcome measures (P<0.05).
Conclusion: ART was more effective in decreasing pain. Whereas, both techniques had equal effects in enhancing sleep quality and reducing functional disability among patients with piriformis syndrome.

Authors: Park Jong Eun , Kim Yoo Jin , Kim So Young , Park Jong Hyock
Published: November 2024

Objectives: Based on a survey of officers, social workers, and dietitians involved in managing nutrition and welfare policies or projects for vulnerable groups in local governments or private welfare institutions, this study aimed to assess the need for nutritional and dietary support policies and programs for persons with disabilities (PWD), as well as to identify appropriate support measures. Methods: An online survey was conducted from March 2 to 15, 2021. The survey included 20 questions exploring perspectives on the nutritional status of PWD, their need for nutritional and dietary support policies and programs, and the prioritization of appropriate support measures. A total of 132 responses were analyzed. Results: Approximately 68.9% of the respondents rated the nutritional status of PWD as “bad” or “very bad.” A substantial number identified “difficulty in purchasing ingredients, cooking, and preparing meals independently due to disability,” and “limited knowledge about nutrition and recipes necessary for maintaining a healthy and balanced diet” as the primary challenges in the dietary and nutritional management of this population. Additionally, 97.0% of the respondents deemed that the introduction of nutritional and dietary support policies and programs for PWD was “needed” or “very much needed.” Priority strategies to implement and strengthen these policies and systems included the “development of customized programs and services tailored to the needs and demands of the target population” and the “establishment of a dedicated department with specialized personnel.” Conclusion: Comprehensive nutritional and dietary support policies and programs should be actively implemented to ensure a healthy and stable diet for PWD, tailored to meet their actual needs and demands.

Renewable Energy Communiteis are intended to strengthen the acceptance of renewable energy systems and enable decentralized, efficient supply structures. Their promotion is in conflict with the cost-efficient promotion of renewable energies, which is discussed in the first part of the thesis. The failure of an initial attempt to regulate this conflict in the EEG 2017 is analyzed. The legal framework provided by RED III and the Electricity Directive for the promotion of Renewable Energy Communities and other “prosumers” is examined and illuminated. On the basis of this analysis, the author examines the provisions of the EEG 2023 and state law regulations with regard to the resolution of the conflict of control and conformity with Union law.
Fremd in der Welt und frei im Leben

Published: November 2024

Der seit seiner Kindheit von Büchern umgebene Bürger­sohn Sartre und der in bitterer Armut aufgewachsene Algerienfranzose Camus thematisieren auf je eigene Weise die prekäre Existenz des Individuums in einer absurden und gottlosen Welt. Für beide gilt: Ohne metaphysischen Kompass ist der Mensch zu einer furchterregenden und gleichzeitig berauschenden Freiheit verdammt, die ihm immense Verantwortung aufbürdet. Nach dem II. Weltkrieg zerstreiten sich die beiden ehemaligen Weggefährten und überzeugten Antifaschisten an der Frage „Revolution oder Revolte?“. Der Band erzählt vom Leben und Denken der vertrauten Feinde Sartre und Camus, die – beide als Existenzialisten gelabelt – alles in allem mehr trennte als verband.

Published: November 2024

Background: Enterococci are clinically significant, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems, which are recognized as a critical contributor to nosocomial infections. Objectives: This study aimed to determine antibiotic susceptibility profiles and vancomycin-resistance Enterococcus (VRE) isolates in Zahedan, Iran. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Ali Ibne Abi Talib Hospital from March 2019 to February 2022. Clinical samples included urine, blood, abscesses and other body fluids from patients referred to this hospital during the study period. A total of 3000 patients were included in the study, and the Kirby-Bauer method was used to test isolates identified by morphological and biochemical characteristics for antibiotic susceptibility. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Out of 3000 culture-positive clinical samples comprised of 82 urine, ten blood, one tracheal, two wound, and one pulmonary isolate, were identified as Enterococcus faecalis (69.1%), Enterococcus faecium (7.3%), and Enterococcus spp. (23.6%). Moreover, two-thirds of isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR). Although 66.7% and 63.9% were sensitive to nitrofurantoin and linezolid, resistance to ciprofloxacin (74.2%) and ampicillin (65.9%) was frequently observed. Nitrofurantoin or linezolid were the only effective antibiotics for UTIs. In addition, 50% of isolates were resistant to vancomycin. Conclusions: Based on the results, a combination of vancomycin/or linezolid and nitrofurantoin for urine infections was effective against Enterococci in this clinical center. Nevertheless, continuous and frequent surveillance for resistance patterns is necessary for the reasonable and evidence-based use of antibiotics.

Antibody tests for COVID-19
Authors:   Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, Bunn Sarah
Published: November 2024

There is insufficient scientific evidence to know whether the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies confers protection from subsequent infections, and if so at what level. Antibodies are only one part of the immune response to infection. Tests that detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are available. They can determine whether someone has had COVID-19. Tests can reveal those who are unaware that they had COVID-19 because they had mild or no symptoms. Test samples must be analysed in a laboratory – no home tests are authorised for use in the UK. The Government provides antibody tests for NHS and social care staff, hospital patients and care home residents. Commercial test kits are available for private use. These are of varying quality and results must be interpreted with caution. A positive test does not necessarily mean that someone will be protected from subsequent infections. There are concerns that access to private tests of variable quality will discourage the public from practising effective public health measures. Antibody tests are an important tool to understand the spread of the virus and how many people in a population have been infected. They are being used in infection surveillance surveys in the UK and elsewhere.

Maximizing Disability: The Road to Extractive Federalism
Authors: Tani Karen M.
Published: November 2024

Of the many alarmist commentaries on U.S. disability benefits in recent memory, few have explored state and local governments’ efforts to channel needy residents toward disability-based income support programs—and to thereby shift the cost of care onto the federal government. This Essay documents the rich history of such efforts, going back to the 1980s. This Essay also emphasizes an inflection point in this history: Starting in the early 1990s, private, for-profit consulting companies began securing contracts from states for the “shifting” work that legal aid organizations had been doing. Simultaneously, these companies marketed their “revenue maximization” services, encouraging state officials to see federal health and welfare programs as a resource to be mined. This Essay connects this extractive mindset to today’s “extractive federalism,” which scholars have documented in both the foster care and nursing home contexts. From the state and local perspective, extractive federalism may be rational: In a context of real or perceived resource scarcity, it secures funds for public purposes. But these tactics have come at the expense of vulnerable people. Those whose needs make the federal spigots turn do not necessarily benefit from the resulting federal dollars. Meanwhile, these tactices obscure from the public the true nature of federal spending.

Published: November 2024

Wadi Shorsirin is located in the Wasit governorate east of Iraq, it is considered a promising tourist site for the people who live close to this area. The research aims to study the rocky slopes and assess their stability, along the two banks of Wadi Shorhirine, by choosing five stations distributed where the failure occurs and to determine the expected rock failure along this valley. In addition, determine the factors that affect stability, such as discontinuities, rock resistance, and weathering to take them into account when establishing engineering projects such as roads, and tourist complexes. The stereoscopic projection technique was used to analyze the stability of these rocky slopes and showed there are two types of slopes which are oblique lateral and orthogonal slopes. Toppling and rockfall were found within the study area, in addition to the rolling. Differential eroded in the foot slope was the main reason for the failure, moreover, the existence of joint sets. The rocks of the slopes were evaluated based on the unconfined compressive strength deduced from the point load test into the moderately strong and strong.
Total suspended matter in the Gdansk deep at oxygenated / anoxic conditions in 2018—2023
Authors: Bubnova Ekaterina S. , Efimova Ksenia A. , Volkov Semen D.
Published: November 2024

The spatial and temporal distribution of suspended matter in the southeastern part of the Baltic Sea was studied in the context of the transition from oxygenated to anoxic conditions. Semi-enclosed water bodies, such as the shallow Baltic Sea, play a key role in the global carbon cycle. Carbon-containing particles, both organic and inorganic, settle within the total suspended matter, making it important to understand the patterns of its distribution. The main sources of suspended matter in the southeastern part of the Baltic Sea are primary production and abrasion processes in the coastal zone. From the intensively mixed coastal zone, the suspended matter is transported to the Gdańsk Deep, where benthic nepheloid layers indicate complex sedimentation conditions, suggesting that this area cannot be considered a simple carbon sink. Intermediate nepheloid layers form during the seasonal shift from oxygenated to anoxic conditions, especially when local maxima of dissolved hydrogen sulfide detach from the seabed. The concentration of dissolved oxygen in the water varies significantly depending on the season, both in the surface and bottom layers, reaching its peak in winter and spring and its minimum in summer and autumn.

How echolocation works in bats?
Authors: Frey Erzsebet
Published: November 2024

Bats are unique creatures that have the remarkable ability to navigate and hunt in complete darkness using a technique called echolocation. Echolocation is a biological sonar system that allows bats to perceive the world around them by emitting high-frequency sounds and listening to the echoes that bounce back. Echolocation is a process that involves the emission of high-frequency sounds, which are then bounced back to the bat’s ears as echoes.

This research aimed to examine the applicability of the Pivot Profile (PP) technique in detecting adulteration in acacia honey from the Tuzla region, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). The PP technique captured the relative meaning of descriptors and gathered free descriptions of differences between a target product and a pivot product (PVT), which served as a standard. Four pairs of samples were evaluated: original acacia honey (PVT) versus honey samples adulterated with 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% fructose-glucose syrup. The sensory assessment involved 72 participants (25 women and 47 men), all acacia honey producers aged from 20 to 55 years of age. The chi-square test (ch² = 3032.37, p < 0.001) revealed significant statistical differences among values, indicating that the consumer panel effectively distinguished the samples. The chi-square test per cell was used to explore variation within the data matrix, identifying descriptors significantly differing from PVT in citation frequency. A total of 48 sensory attributes were generated (5 for appearance, 14 for odours, 4 for basic tastes, 3 for aftertastes, 16 for flavours, 2 for trigeminal effects, and 4 for texture). Correspondence Analysis (CA) was employed to visually represent sensory changes in honey samples based on adulteration levels, illustrating consumer perception of samples and attributes. CA effectively explained nearly 60% of the variability observed across the initial two dimensions, thus emphasizing the connection between sensory alterations and consumer perception. The results revealed a reduction in aroma and appearance attributes, along with occurrences of sensory defects such as off-flavours, unpleasant trigeminal effects, and altered viscosity properties. PP technique provided detailed information about each sample, assessing similarities and differences compared to PVT in a single session using multivariate techniques, contrasting with traditional trained or expert assessments. The PP technique appears promising for further exploration in vocabulary use and data analysis, not only for other honey types but also for various food products susceptible to adulteration.

The rapid growth of global trade has increased the need to modernize customs operations, especially in Indonesia, where traditional methods struggle with fraud and inefficiency. This study explores the integration of disruptive technologies, specifically Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain, to enhance risk management and operational efficiency in Indonesian customs. Using a qualitative methodology, including literature reviews, case studies, and interviews with customs officials, the research highlights AI's ability to automate risk assessments and fraud detection, while blockchain ensures secure, transparent transaction records. Despite the significant benefits, challenges such as personnel resistance, outdated infrastructure, and regulatory uncertainties hinder implementation. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive training for customs officers and collaboration with Cross-Border Regulatory Agencies (CBRAs) to overcome these obstacles. Case studies from Singapore and the UAE provide valuable insights into best practices for integrating these technologies. With strategic investment and strong stakeholder commitment, Indonesia can modernize its customs systems, improve efficiency, and strengthen national security. The study concludes with recommendations for creating a comprehensive integration roadmap, developing skills initiatives, and strengthening regulatory frameworks to support the successful adoption of AI and blockchain in Indonesian customs.

One of the key challenges in cancer research is finding ways to selectively eliminate cancer cells without harming healthy tissues. This makes understanding cell death mechanisms in cancer cells critical for developing effective treatments. Ferroptosis, a recently recognized form of programmed cell death driven by iron, has emerged as a promising approach for targeting cancer cells, which have higher iron requirements than normal cells. Inducing ferroptosis has been shown to overcome resistance to various chemotherapeutic agents and targeted therapies, enhancing their effectiveness and decreasing cancer resistance. To explore the protective effects of quercetin, a flavonoid metabolite, and the cell death pathways it engages, experiments were conducted using HT-29 and HCT-116 colon cancer cell lines treated with quercetin and an anticancer drug. Cell viability was measured after 24 and 48 hours of incubation with varying logarithmic concentrations of quercetin and doxorubicin, both independently and in combination. The study focused on identifying the cell death pathways activated by these treatments by analyzing apoptosis markers APAF-1 and CASP-3, along with ferroptosis markers GPx4 and ACSL-4. The results indicated that quercetin alone elevated APAF-1 and CASP-3 levels in both colon cancer cell lines, thus promoting the apoptotic pathway. In terms of ferroptosis, the combination treatment increased ACSL-4 expression while reducing GPx4, indicating the induction of ferroptosis and a synergistic effect on cancer cells. These findings point to the potential for further investigation into combining ferroptosis-inducing agents and the signaling pathways that trigger different forms of cell death.

Published: November 2024

The cement industry is one of the most energy-intensive industries, which is why new energy-reducing and reducingCO2 emissions, additives are being sought. Grinding aid or grinding additives refer to substances that when mixed into the mill contents cause an increase in the rate of size reduction. These terms are very common in cement industries where it increases the throughput of the mill. Grinding aid also affects the cement flowability throughout the circuits. The grinding aid facilitates size reduction so that the mill has to apply less grinding power without hurting any of the properties of the resulting cement. The present research work aimed to investigate the influence of a chemical grinding aid ethylene glycol (EG) on cement properties and mill performance during the grinding of Portland cement beyond 500 ppm reaching up to 1200 ppm. The obtained results show increasing in initial compressive strength and increasing in the productivity of the cement mill.
