Authors: Peñafiel Peñafiel Marcia Beatriz , Novo Pinos Karen Michelle
Published: June 2023

El ritmo de vida actual, en todo el mundo, es uno de los más acelerados en la historia de la humanidad, lo que conlleva al aumento del estrés en la población. Es un hecho demostrado en numerosos estudios que, un estado de estrés permanente o crónico tiene un impacto significativo en la salud y en la calidad de la vida de las personas. Estudios actuales sugieren que el estrés tiene efectos relevantes en la composición de la microbiota intestinal. Algunos de estos efectos pueden ser: alteraciones en la motilidad intestinal, transporte de mucosas, función de barrera intestinal y percepción visceral. En virtud de lo anterior, el objetivo de la presente investigación es plasmar las generalidades acerca del intestino-cerebro y la relación que tiene con el estrés. La investigación se realizó bajo una metodología de tipo documental bibliográfica, bajo la modalidad de revisión. De la revisión se desprende que, dado que el factor psicológico juega un papel clave en las enfermedades intestinales, lleva a suponer del impacto que tiene en la microbiota el estrés. Por otra parte, también existe evidencia disponible que sugiere que la microbiota intestinal está relacionada con la conectividad cerebral y el rendimiento cognitivo y que la manipulación del intestino y la microbiota, podría ser una vía prometedora para mejorar la cognición y el bienestar emocional en situaciones de estrés. En conclusión, se puede afirmar que, si una microbiota diversa, rica y equilibrada se asocia a un mejor bienestar emocional en las personas, lo contrario sería, que su desequilibrio se relacione, igualmente, al estrés. No obstante, es importante destacar que, no existe evidencia contundente y que este es un tema muy joven, con un amplio camino que recorrer. Por el momento, los muchos indicios existentes alientan a seguir adelante en las investigaciones.

Indonesian Islamic education is experiencing a never ending crisis leading to loss of its philosophical foundation and vagueness of its objectives. Consequently,Â  Islamic education results in a number of incompleteness in a wide range of its facets; in technology, global interconnection, and even in morality. AÂ  multidimensional Islamic education serves as a paradigm of education that employs a multidimensional approach integrating religion, philosophy and science. Islam views knowledge as a means to save humanâ€™s soul and to reach oneâ€™s happiness here and hereafter. It is an education focusing on an integration of robbaniyah (divinity), insaniyah (humanity), and alamiyah (nature) to realise the duty of Islam as rahmatan lil â€˜alamin and to maintain the balance between rationality, morality, and spirituality.

“What Library?”
Authors: Klein Katherine
Published: June 2023

Although charter schools are a growing segment of the US education market, they are less likely than traditional public or private schools to have dedicated library facilities, staffing, or services. Currently there is little data about what services charter schools provide to support literacy, research, or technology skill building - services commonly provided by school libraries. Without these data it is unknown whether, how, or to what extent charter schools without school libraries ensure that their students have access to these crucial learning resources. This study collected data in 87 US based K-12 charter schools across 11 states using an online survey completed by school administrators. This survey addresses library services of charter schools both with and without school library facilities. The survey shows that most charters lack facilities and staffing to provide quality school library services. In charters that have a school library the data suggests the school benefits from more services to encourage reading for fun and information literacy instruction that can improve technology use and research skills. This study informs future research and advocacy for charter school libraries.

In order to forecast the emerging micro- and macro-nutrient deficiencies or toxicities in crops and soils resulting from intensive cropping, 15 benchmark sites have been identified in Gobichettipalayam taluk of Erode district in Tamil Nadu, based on the soil physico-chemical properties. The experimental soils were neutral in pH, free from salinity, low in organic carbon, medium in available P & K. The available micronutrient status has shown that the soil available Zn & Cu and Fe & Mn is in the range of deficiency and sufficiency levels, respectively. The soils belong to Irugur (red non-calcarcous), Chikkarasampalayam (black calcareous) and Sathyamangalam (black calcareous) series. Two intensive cropping systems such as Rice - Rice and Sugarcane - Sugarcane - Turmeric were chosen for the study. The soil data indicated that both intensive cropping systems have depleted the soil nutrient status heavily. However, as both cropping sequences have been supplied with sufficient quantities of fertilizer inputs carrying macronutrients, soils in the benchmark sites have maintained the inherent soil fertility status. On the other hand, non-addition of micronutrients has caused deficiencies of Zn, Cu and B as indicated by the available nutrient status in both cropping sequences. Plant samples showed sufficiency levels of both macro and micronutrients. The overall data indicated that there is an utmost necessity for application of micronutrients especially Zn, B and Cu to enable to maintain the crop yields in the intensive cropping systems in Erode district. Further, soil nutrient balance has to be maintained by proper substitution of organic and inorganic sources of macronutrients.

Physiological and biochemical deterioration of seeds during storage is considered to be one of the major factors affecting seed germinability and vigour. Niger being an oilseed crop, the seeds undergo rapid deterioration during storage by membrane damage which was indicated by increased electrical conductivity of seed leachate. This biochemical process of seed deterioation during storage could be minimized by giving seed treatment either with chlorine based halogen formulation @ 3g kg or with chilli powder @2g kg of seed and packed in polylined cloth bag which maintained higher germination and vigour index after six months of storage. The treated seeds also recorded lower electrical conductivity than the control seeds packed in cloth bag.

Field experiments were conducted during May-February in 1996-97 and 1997-98 at Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Sreekariyam, Thiruvananthapuram to study the effect of spacing and mulching on growth, yield and economics of cultivation of arrowroot. Widest spacing ( 60 * 30 cm) favoured vegetative growth profoundly at all stages in both the years. Mulching using any of the materials viz., green leaves, dried leaves or coconut fronds promoted the canopy size and leaf production. Mulching regardless of the material used, significantly promoted rhizome weight in both the years and number of rhizomes in the second year and ultimately proved beneficial for realizing significantly higher rhizome yield. Closer spacing of 30 * 15 cm produced significantly higher rhizome yield. Planting arrowroot at a spacing of 30 * 15 cm to accommodate 2,20,000 plants ha¹ and mulching using green leaves generated maximum net return and benefit cost ratio due to production of high rhizome yield.

To improve the vigour and viability potential of Pungam (Pongamia pinnata L. Pierre) seeds, specially for clite seeding production in the nursery, the seeds can be enriched with nutrients and growth regulators by presoaking treatments. To standardise these methods, the bulk seeds of pungam, after harvesting, drying, cleaning and grading were fortified with various nutrient solutions for 4h at various concentrations. The results revealed that presoaking of seeds in 2 per cent potassium dihydrogen phosphate. (KH2PO4) solution improved the viability of seeds to 18.6 per cent compared to control. In another experiment, when the seeds were treated with different growth regulators at various concentrations for 4h, recorded maximum germination of 86 per cent both in GA3 200 ppm and water. This showed that instead of going for growth regulator treatment were water soaking gave the improved vigour and viability, which was to the tune of 7.5 per cent over untreated control.

The instability in turmeric production were examined in terms of area and productivity in important states of South India viz. Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. These states contributed around 80 percent of turmeric produced in India. Secondary data was used for the study, considering the period from 1979-80 to 1998-99. Hazell's decomposition model was used for the analysis. The instability in area and productivity of turmeric indicated that the area in the case of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu showed instability, while Kerala showed stability. But, in the case of yield, except Karnataka all other states showed instability. Decomposition analysis showed that yield instability was the dominant factor affecting production. The future development programmes should envisage stabilisation of yield, which would stabilize production. Evolving location specific varieties, adoption of modern cultural practices and intensive cultivation were some of the suggestions for stabilising productivity of turmeric.

Balanites aegyptiaca contributes strongly to the resilience of Sahelian populations. All the organs of B. aegyptiaca are used either for food, medicinal purposes or for other services. However, very few studies on the socioeconomic importance of B. aegyptiaca have been conducted in Niger. The main objective of this study was to valorize the knowledge of the populations on the uses of B. aegyptiaca in the Sudan-Sahelian agrosystems of Niger. The study was conducted in the Dosso region. The region was chosen based on its two main agro-climatic zones, characterized by the scarcity of the species in the south and its abundance in the north. A survey was carried out in February 2021 to assess the diversity of uses. The findings revealed that the uses of B. aegyptiaca products are very diversified and varied considerably accross agro-ecological zones. The types of use varied significantly among ethnic groups. The Hausa possessed 88.26% of the use, the Zarma 14.47%, the Peulh 2.63%, the Songhai 1.32%, and Touareg 1.32%. All parts of B. aegyptiaca are used in traditional pharmacopoeia to threat various human and animal illnesses. 68.00% of respondents reported the interaction between Balanites and crops as very beneficial. B. aegyptiaca is prone to a variety of threats. Hence, 97.30% of respondents acknowledged the existence of several diseases and/or insect pests that affect Balanites' organs. Given the importance of this species in the region, more research is required to quantify its contribution to rural household food security and resilience.

Diarrhea is a disease that causes the second highest morbidity and mortality rate in toddlers after pneumonia. Poor and developing countries generally exhibit high incidence rates of diarrhea, thus diarrhea is often associated with poor socio-economic conditions and inadequate sanitation. Understanding the caregivers' perspectives on the factors contributing to diarrhea is crucial for the prevention and management of diarrhea, aiming to reduce the morbidity and mortality rates among toddlers. The aim of this research is to analyze the community perspectives on the factors of hygiene-sanitation and socio-economic factors influencing the occurrence of diarrhea in toddlers. The research methodology employed is a literature review, which assesses the occurrence of diarrhea in toddlers based on both hygiene-sanitation factors and socio-economic factors from the community's perspective. The data used consists of a minimum of 10 scientific journals obtained from Google Scholar and ResearchGate databases. The research findings indicate that, in terms of hygiene-sanitation, the factors contributing to diarrhea include the lack of cleanliness and hygiene practices implemented by caregivers of toddlers, untreated or unprotected water sources, inadequate availability of water, low utilization of sanitation facilities, unhygienic living conditions, and water contamination during the rainy season. Meanwhile, in terms of socio-economic factors, it is influenced by the knowledge and education of caregivers, financial status, resource limitations, and community acceptance of interventions for improving water, sanitation, and hygiene. From these results, it can be concluded that there is a correlation between the risk factors of diarrhea and the occurrence of diarrhea in toddlers, as observed from both hygiene-sanitation and socio-economic perspectives.
