Biofilm Formation Capability of Cowpea Nodular Bacterial Isolates in Static Microcosms
Authors: HM Rabiu
Published: March 2023

Bacteria are known to form microbially derived sessile communities that are irreversibly attached to biotic or abiotic surfaces known as biofilms. Biofilm formation is an adaptive strategy for the successful colonization of plant surfaces. Forty bacterial isolates of cowpea nodules from 12 smallholder farms in Northern Nigeria were evaluated for biofilm growth, attachment and strength in static microcosms. Replicate King’s B (KB) microcosms (n = 8) were incubated statically for 7 days before assessments. Growth and attachment were determined by measuring optical density (OD600nm) and absorbance (A570 nm) respectively. Strength (grams) was determined by maximum deformation mass (MDM) assay using glass balls (mean weight of 0.0115g). A significant MDM was recorded when more than one replicate retained at least one ball for at least 5 seconds. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to determine significant mean differences (p<0.05). Similarities and variations in biofilm formation were assessed by Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) using the Ward method. Half of the isolates showed good biofilm growth and attachment. Twelve of the 40 isolates showed various levels of strength. Isolates 16F and 39L were rated well in all three biofilm parameters. There were significant differences in the mean values of the assessed biofilm parameters among the isolates. Mean growth ranged between 1.493 (Isolate 32K) and 2.101 OD600 (Isolate 19G). Mean attachment levels (A570) ranged from 0.084 (Isolate 9D) to 1.543 (Isolate 30K). Only isolate 2A had significantly higher biofilm strength (2.412g) than the rest of the isolates. HCA analysis indicated similarities as well as variations in biofilm formation by isolates within and between sites. Isolates from all the study sites were positive for at least one of the tested biofilm parameters. The ability of the isolates to form biofilms indicated that some of them could be suitable for biotechnological applications such as in biofertilizer production

В статье изучены вопросы налоговой интеграции стран – членов Евразийского экономического союза (ЕАЭС). Целью исследования является выявление основных проблем в сфере перетока движения рабочей силы в ЕАЭС, препятствующие эффективному развитию интеграционных процессов в сфере трудовой миграции.
Актуальность исследования обусловлена необходимостью дальнейшей разработки научной базы налоговой интеграции в сфере мобильности трудовых кадров, обеспечивающее конкурентные преимущества всему интеграционному пространству ЕАЭС. Определены проблемы в сфере трудовой миграции, основные проблемы налогообложения доходов граждан, препятствующие обеспечению свободы перетока рабочей силы внутри Союза. Определены основные ориентиры налоговой политики интеграционного развития экономического союза. Выявлены основные направления совершенствования миграционного законодательства, а также системы налогов с целью более успешной налоговой интеграции в сфере мобильности трудовых кадров в ЕАЭС.
Гармонизация налоговых систем стран – участниц любого интеграционного объединения требует сближения позиций по вопросам налоговой политики, предусматривающей согласование общих подходов и принципов налоговой системы, а также совместную разработку правовых норм и принципов налогообложения, в том числе и в вопросах сближения позиций по кадровой политике, обеспечивающей свободу перетока рабочей силы в Евразийском экономическом союзе. Правовое обеспечение налоговой интеграции требует согласованности норм правового регулирования от всех его участников, выражающееся главным образом в синхронности принятия правовых актов в области налогов и налоговой политики. Для решения этих проблем необходима наднациональная координация и взаимодействие в вопросах налоговой унификации.
Overview of Cancers

Published: March 2023

Cancer is a non-communicable disease that emerged without any definite cause [1]. According to [1] nearly 10 million deaths in 2020 due to cancer accounted for one in six deaths. There are several types of cancers, such as breast, lung, colon, rectum, and prostate cancers [1]. WHO (2022) had reported one-third of the causes of cancer are due to poor lifestyle choices such as tobacco smoking, high body mass index, alcohol intake, low fruit and vegetable intake, and lack of physical activity. The viral infections may cause cancer (Ho, 2016). For instance,[1] had also added that the human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis viruses are the causative agents in 30% of cancer cases in low and lower-middle-income countries. Cancer is curable if treated in its early stages.

Authors:   Department of Radiology, Hospital of Specialty, CHU Ibn-Sina, Mohamed V University, Rabat Morocco., Wais Amarkak Abdillahi
Published: March 2023

Malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary (OGCTs) are rare and represented less than 5% of all germ cell tumors of the ovary. GCTs are composed of several histological types and are divided into two groups: dysgerminomatous germinal malignancies and non-dysgerminomatous germinal malignancies. Ovarian dysgerminomas represented 33% of OGCTs. They can occur at any age but very often in children and adolescents, most often in the second and third decade, rarely in the first decade. The circumstances of discovery are acute abdominal pain, abdominal distension with palpable mass, sometimes we observe menstrual disorders and endocrinological disorders. Imaging findings, ovarian dysgerminoma is presented as a huge solid pelvic mass that can be confused with neuroblastoma which is very common in infants and children. Imaging features with tumor markers permits to confirm the ovarian origin. The Diagnosticof certainty is established by anatomopathological study. These tumors are characterized by a very high chemosensitivity with a better prognosis. We are reporting here a case of ovarian dysgerminoma with abdomino-pelvic metastasis in a 6-year-old girl.

The increasing occurrence of adverse weather events is continuously challenging agricultural production globally. The wide genetic base of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and the availability of a diverse set of germplasm can be explored to identify multiple abiotic stress-tolerant donors for rice improvement. Therefore, an experiment was conducted during 2018–21 at ICAR-National Rice Research Institute, Cuttack, Odisha to evaluate diverse rice germplasm (68 accessions) for vegetative stage drought and submergence stress and for their anaerobic germination potential. Under drought stress, 49 accessions showed a drought score (DS) of 1 indicating a tolerance response. The early vegetative score indicated that 58 accessions were highly vigorous, while the drought recovery score indicates that >90% of the genotypes showed good recovery after the drought cycle. The same genotypes showed a average survival rate (SR) of 48% under two weeks of complete submergence. Among them, 11 were found highly tolerant with >70% SR and 26 genotypes scored positive SUB1A locus by SNP-based functional marker AEX1. Nearly 50% of the genotypes scored positive for SUB1A, based on both AEX1 and Sub1A203 markers, which nearly matched the phenotyping result. Out of 68, only 4 accessions showed more than 50% germination under anaerobic conditions. A multivariate analysis showed that 11 genotypes had both drought and submergence tolerance, while 6 genotypes were having tolerance to drought and anaerobic germination. We found only 1 accession (IC516149) tolerant to all these 3 stresses which can be identified as a potential donor for multiple abiotic stresses.

Published: March 2023

The present study was carried out to map the perception of consumers and to identify the factors influencing the consumer buying behaviour towards the food products of FPOs in Tamil Nadu. The results concluded that majority of the respondents purchased jaggery and sugar, cold pressed oil, snacks and millets category from the retail shops of FPOs. The quality and nutrient content were major product traits influencing consumers for purchasing the FPO food products. Most of the consumers felt that the quality and price of the food products were high in FPOs retail stores compared with other retail stores. So, FPOs should target high income people with high purchasing power who appreciate quality. Local people were purchasing the FPOs food products anytime. FPOs can devise effective marketing strategies to attract new customers from local and non-local customers. Most of the people have no awareness about FPOs retail outlets. Therefore, FPOs should pay attention in promoting their products and increasing the retail outlets for attracting the consumers and increasing the sales.

An experiment was conducted at the research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhiduring 2019–20 and 2020–21 to study the productivity and economic viability of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek)–maize (Zea mays L.) fertigated with 0, 60, 80, 100% recommended dosesof NPK and irrigated at 0.6 and 0.8 crop evapotranspiration (ETc) through subsurface (SSDI) and surface drip irrigation (SDI). The results were compared with the conventional practice of surface irrigation and soil application of 100% recommended doses of NPK. Grain yields of wheat, mungbean, maize and system wheat equivalent yield (SWEY) improved by 22.9, 7.2, 21.9 and 19.4%, respectively with increase in NPK fertigation doses from 60 to 100% and by 15.6, 9.2, 4.9 and 9.7% with the increase in irrigation frequency from 0.6 to 0.8 ETc. However, SDI and SSDI had equal system productivity (12.48 and 12.85 Mg/ha). The SWEY at 0.8ETc fertigated either with NPK80 or NPK100was statistically at par (14.2–15.9 Mg/ha) with the conventional practice (14.3–15.2 Mg/ha). The cash inflow, netincome and benefit cost ratio (BCR) of the cropping system also increased successively with increase in fertigationdoses and irrigation frequency. The net income and BCR followed the order maize>wheat>mungbean. The net income under SSDI at 0.8 ETc with NPK80 or NPK100 in wheat, mungbean, maize and system was 11–13, 88–105, 1-9 and 8–14% higher than the conventional practice. At 0.8 ETc and NPK100, BCR in SSDI (1.86) was higher than in SDI(1.71) and conventional system (1.67).

Published: March 2023

Passpix is a key element in pixel value access control, containing a pixel value extracted from a digital image that users input to authenticate their username. However, it is unclear whether cloud storage settings apply compression to prevent deficiencies that would alter the file's 8-bit attribution and pixel value, causing user authentication failure. This study aims to determine the fastest clustering algorithm for faulty Passpix similarity classification, using a dataset of 1,000 objects. The source code for the K-Means, ISODATA, and K-Harmonic Mean scripts was loaded into a clustering experiment prototype compiled as Clustering.exe. The results demonstrate that the number of clusters affects the time taken to complete the clustering process, with the 20-cluster setting taking longer than the 10-cluster setting. The K-Harmonic Mean algorithm was the fastest, while K-Means performed moderately and ISODATA was the slowest of the three clustering algorithms. The results also indicate that the number of iterations did not affect the time taken to complete the clustering process. These findings provide a basis for future studies to increase the number of clusters for better accuracy.
Naturfag utenfor klasserommet fra et Nordnorsk perspektiv

Published: March 2023

This survey investigated how teachers in the northernmost parts of Norway use outdoor science teaching, and what they consider to be the most important challenges. Most teachers report that they do outdoor science activities a couple of times a year, more often in primary school than secondary school. The topics covered are largely related to biology during autumn and spring. Factors that inhibit use of outdoor teaching are related to the length of classes and time to prepare, together with lack of competence and weather challenges. Both expectation from parents and encouragement from management had little influence on the use of outdoor teaching, while the teacher own interest of outdoor life and the fact that students enjoyed such teaching were important elements. Moreover, experienced teachers considered the student group’s characteristics to be of importance for how much outdoor teaching was used compared to teachers who had worked for less than five years. Our study also confirmed that the teacher’s perception of species knowledge was closely linked to their own interest in nature.

Authors: Silva Ivani Valentim da , Vaz Marcos Braz
Published: March 2023

As dificuldades de alunos do ensino médio para compreender os processos abstratos envolvidos no desenvolvimento de um raciocínio matemático intriga os professores de Matemática quando exigem a utilização de uma linguagem formal e rigorosa para a representação do objeto em estudo. Com o advento das tecnologias digitais, a utilização de softwares possibilita a representação do objeto matemático por meio de gráficos bidimensionais ou tridimensionais que facilitam a compreensão do aluno. Neste universo, o software GeoGebra se destaca, pois permite que o aluno observe uma infinidade de propriedades que não conseguiria com o uso da linguagem clássica da matemática. O objetivo deste artigo é verificar em que medida a utilização do software GeoGebra pode contribuir para a compreensão dos conceitos matemáticos da análise de regressão em alunos da 3ª série do ensino médio, de uma escola pública na cidade de Apuí-AM, região sul do Estado brasileiro do Amazonas. A metodologia utilizada foi a Engenharia Didática, que inclui o confronto das análises a priori, com a experimentação e as análises a posteriori de uma sequência didática. Os resultados revelaram que o uso do software GeoGebra pode ser eficaz para o aprendizado de conteúdos de análise de regressão Estatística, assim como foi comprovado para a Geometria e a Trigonometria. Sua utilização vai além da realização de cálculos dispostos em tabelas, como as planilhas eletrônicas já fazem. Seu diferencial são as funcionalidades para a realização da conversão da linguagem algébrica para as linguagens de gráficos e imagética, e vice-versa.

They Do It for the Culture: Analyzing Why Black Men Enter the Field of Special Education
Authors: CORMIER CHRISTOPHER J.
Published: March 2023

Using racial formation theory as the ballast of this study, I interviewed seven Black men who were in preservice special education teacher preparation programs about what motivated them to enter the field. Data collection methods and analysis focused on participants’ educational trajectories and introductions to the field of special education. I found that Black men in this study chose to enter special education as a result of varying influences, including prior experiences working with children or the suggestions of mentors. All participants indicated that they were “doing it for the culture”; that is, their career choices were in response to a pressing desire to be agents of change, primarily driven by an awareness of the needs of Black boys who are disproportionately represented in special education programs across the United States. Finally, I explore implications for future research and practice.
Complementary Review of the Literature on Attrition and Retention Patterns of Special Education Teachers of Color: What We Know and How We Move Forward
Authors: SCOTT LARON A. , POWELL CHRISTINE , OYEFUGA EMIOLA , CORMIER CHRISTOPHER J. , PADHYE IRA
Published: March 2023

The attrition and retention of special education teachers of color (SETOC) is a concern for school district leaders who are seeking racially and ethnically minoritized teachers to work with students of color with disabilities. We reviewed 47 articles from 2002 to 2020 regarding factors related to the attrition and retention of special education teachers (SET) to better understand the racial characteristics of the participants in the studies and to compare and contrast whether SETOC provide reasons for why they stay or leave that vary from reasons provided by their White colleagues. We found that researchers examining SETs have mostly ignored race and ethnicity when analyzing factors in the attrition and retention of SETs. Although empirical research on the topic is scarce, the articles that were analyzed in this review that also included an analysis of the experiences of SETOC often was framed using a racial lens in understanding factors that may cause them to stay in or leave the profession. We conclude with a discussion of major takeaways from the literature and recommendations for promoting a more robust research agenda on this topic for future considerations.
Fostering Joy in Reading: Implementing Culturally and Historically Responsive Book Clubs with Black Girls with Disabilities
Authors: WHITNEY ERIN HOPE
Published: March 2023

Educational research shows the value of culturally responsive pedagogies; however, special education research typically centers reading interventions that focus primarily on foundational skills. These sorts of programs rarely take learner identities into account in their design, and provide little opportunity for readers to make connections to their own lives or events in their communities and worlds. A culturally and historically responsive literacy (HRL) framework recommends teaching toward the pursuits of identity, skills, intellect, and criticality. This article uses analytic autoethnography and qualitative data to examine the ways that a group of Black girls identified as having disabilities engaged in a book club reading Jacqueline Woodson’s Brown Girl Dreaming. Findings show that students engaged in joyful and engaged discussions about their cultural identities and historical events while simultaneously developing literacy skills and knowledge. Suggestions are made for implementing culturally and historically responsive book clubs in a resource room or small group setting as an alternative to traditional reading intervention programs.
Voices of African American Boys with Behavior Problems Perspectives on Schooling
Authors: Bacon Ellen , Jackson Fran , Young Kathryn
Published: March 2023

The authors examined the perspectives of African American boys on topics related to culturally responsive teaching, cultural discontinuity, and differential treatment. Participants in focus group interviews were 19 elementary and middle school students identified as having emotional and behavioral disorders or chronic behavior problems. Transcripts of the taped interviews were coded and analyzed for common themes. Students described good and caring teachers as those who provided assistance to them, did not give up on them, made them behave, and helped them stay out of trouble. The students' beliefs about the importance of earning respect from their peers, the importance of standing up for themselves in physical and verbal challenges, and the lack of reliance on teachers to resolve conflicts are not consistent with expected school behaviors and put the students at risk for conflicts and misunderstandings. Attitudes toward academic achievement varied by school, with students from one of the middle schools saying their peers valued achievement and students from the other two schools reporting peer pressure not to achieve academically. Students reported being treated differently because of their label, reputation, and race. Involving students and their perspectives in developing culturally responsive schools are discussed as well as implications for teachers and school personnel.
The Representation of Migrant Students in Special Education in the State of Texas
Authors: Razo Nancy , Ochoa Salvador
Published: March 2023

Migrant children are considered one of the most at-risk populations in the United States. They face multiple obstacles of poverty, poor health, mobility, and limited English proficiency, which contributes to the difficulties that migrant children may encounter in the educational system. Limited research has been conducted regarding migrant students with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which the migrant student population was identified as having disabilities in Texas. Analyses were conducted on a state level, district level, and disability category level. Data were obtained from the Texas Education Agency. The sample consisted of 223 districts that had a total of 9,078 migrant special education students. The state-level analysis found that migrant students, collectively, were not disproportionately represented in special education when compared to the overall state percentage of migrant student representation in general education. The district-level analysis, however, indicated that there was a disproportionate representation of migrant students that received special education services in many school districts in Texas. Moreover, the disability category-level analysis indicated that there was a higher percentage of migrant students that received services under the learning disability category than would be expected.

The codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is a significant pest of pome fruit and walnut orchards worldwide and it is a particular problem in Bulgaria. Codling moth resistance to many insecticides has been recently detected in Bulgaria. Codling moth (CM) mating disruption with Ginko® dispensers was evaluated in four successive years from 2019 to 2022 as part of an anti-resistance strategy. In an isolated 3 ha apple orchard in the Plovdiv district of South-Central Bulgaria, close to the town of Perushtitsa, field tests were conducted for the control of the codling moth (CM), C. pomonella, via mating disruption (MD) using pheromone Ginko® dispensers. The pheromone dispensers were hung in the upper third of tree canopies with a density of 500 dispensers/ha before CM flight started. Dynamics of CM flights was monitored by pheromone traps installed in the trial plot and in a conventionally treated reference orchard. Two types of baits were used in the traps: PHEROCON® CM L2–codlemone lures and PHEROCON® CM DA COMBO-P + AA lures (Trécé Inc., USA) in the orchards for mating disruption. The PHEROCON® CM L2 lures were changed at 4-week intervals and PHEROCON® CM DA COMBO-P + AA lures at 8-week intervals. PHEROCON® VI Delta sticky traps baited with PHEROCON CM DA COMBO- P + AA lures and standard CM L2 caps were installed, for comparison, in a reference orchard located in the Plovdiv region. Fruit infestation was periodically assessed till the harvest time. In both years fruit damage remained lower till late July and increased slightly only in August. At harvest, fruit damage remained below 1%. It was obvious that mating disruption could be useful strategy for the control of codling moth in Bulgarian apple orchards, specifically when the plot is isolated from external sources of infestation and the population density of the pest is low.

Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) is a common cotton pest that causes massive economic losses yearly, directly or indirectly. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Bt cotton on the biological and life table parameters of B. tabaci under controlled conditions.The incubation, nymphal, and pupal periods were recorded as shortest on Bt and longest on non-Bt cultivars. It completed immature stages within 27.8, 28.2, and 28.6 days on Bt, whereas it took 30.4 days on the non-Bt cultivars. Adult longevity increased in Bt cultivars while decreasing innon-Bt cultivars. The male lived for a shorter duration and was smaller than the female. Pre-oviposition was higher in non-Bt cultivars and lowered in Bt cultivars. Bt cultivars had longer oviposition periods than non-Bt cultivars. Fecundity was relatively higher on Bt (57.5, 55.1, and54.2 eggs/female) but reduced on non-Bt (48.2 eggs/female). The life table parameters were also modified using different cotton cultivars. Age-survivorship declined with age, and the highest mortality was recorded at the egg stage, with non-Bt having a longer life span than Bt cultivars. In the egg stages, life expectancy was similarly greater. The net reproductive rate (RO) was recorded as the highest, and the intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was the lowest on Bt cultivars. Non-Bt cultivars had the highest finite rate of increase, mean generation time, and population doubling time, while Bt cultivars had the lowest. The experimental findings showed that Bt was slightly more suitable for developing B. tabaci than non-Bt cultivars.

Las familias, las corporaciones y el Estado forman parte de un ciclo económico, las cuales realizan estas actividades que atienden a sus necesidades, lo cual aumenta la prosperidad de las personas. La familia es un conjunto de personas, lo que las hace unidades de consumo; mientras que las corporaciones son una unidad básica de producción; y, por otro lado, el Estado es el encargado de regular la economía nacional, administrar los recursos públicos, y proporcionar los bienes y servicios de las personas, lo que coadyuva a recaudar impuestos. Los procesos económicos son la producción, la distribución, la comercialización y el consumo; todos estos procesos están gravados por el Impuesto al Valor Agregado. En cuanto al IVA, el mismo impacta directamente en el bolsillo de los consumidores y depende de la capacidad contributiva para que el contribuyente pueda asumir el impuesto. Es por ello que, dentro de los indicadores económicos como el empleo, el Producto Interno Bruto (PIB), el Índice de precios de Consumo (IPC) y la inflación, permiten el beneficio del saber sobre cómo evoluciona la economía del país y obtener la compresión sobre la comparación entre el país y el mundo. El IVA es uno de los impuestos que más recauda para el Estado, es muy importante para determinar la Presión Fiscal en América Latina, así como Uruguay es el país con la mayor presión fiscal; seguido de Argentina con una presión alta, Colombia, con una media, entre tanto, Paraguay es el país con menor presión fiscal en Sudamérica. La economía mundial, se ha visto gravemente afectada por la pandemia, creando importantes desequilibrios en todos los sectores. Los gobiernos han tenido que tomar diversas medidas, para poder hacer frente a la crisis. Se comprobó la implicancia del IVA en la carga tributaria y la presión fiscal en los diversos países analizados y se concluye que el IVA ejerce una influencia directa en la carga tributaria y en la presión fiscal.

In modern conditions, especially when the crisis has engulfed all countries, the problems of budgeting, their application in the development of a particular subject are more relevant than ever. The lack of a budget leads to wrong decisions and, along with it, wrong management in the development strategy of a company. And mistakes in a crisis are costly for an economist. The relevance of using a detailed budget, and on the basis of it, the implementation of operational control, the implementation of planned activities is beyond doubt. The relevance of research on budgeting management accounting, reflecting the technology of strategy development, is beyond doubt. Changes in technology cause changes in management. All this requires changes in the formation of accounting and information systems. At the same time, the role of the accountant is changing, he is involved in the process of developing a development strategy and maintenance of the track facilities. Thus, the information system is being formed, which is so necessary for the implementation of goals and success in the implementation of the management strategy. Fundamentals of management accounting and budgeting usually involve building a cost management system in an enterprise. In order to optimize the costs of the enterprise, management cannot be reduced to a simple reduction. It is also necessary to take appropriate steps to achieve a certain level of income, profit, and, if necessary, take appropriate measures. On a business-wide scale, this explains cost management activities at the level of each department: cost centers, revenue centers, profit centers, and so on.

Earthquake is one of the natural disasters that can occur without being used. Earthquakes originate from vibrations in the bowels of the earth that travel to the surface caused by fractures in the earth breaking and shifting violently. To prevent material and inmaterial losses, this research can be carried out by utilizing hardware technology in the form of Raspberry PI and Piezoelectric Sensors. Raspberry PI is a small single-board computer (SBC) used for electronics projects. Raspberry PI has 40 pins divided into two modes, namely BCM and BOARD. For making a Piezoelectric Sensor value reading program using the Python Programming Language. The results of reading the output of the Piezoelectric Sensor integrated with the Raspberry PI are in the form of a voltage value. The output of the voltage is sent to the Website Page in real time. The collection of output data can then be analyzed if there are indications of an earthquake.

The trial form was carried out by dropping the weight of objects weighing 2 and 3 Kilograms with the drop points being 25 cm, 50 cm and 95 cm. The experiment was carried out 3 times based on weight and falling point. From the test results, the value of vibration on the piezoelectric sensor was obtained with the lowest value of 107787 and the highest 568785063. For the criteria for an earthquake or not, it is divided into 2 categories, namely weak or strong. If the vibration value is more than 880000 it is interpreted as a strong category otherwise if it is less than 880000 it is categorized as weak. The sensor reading results are then stored in the database and displayed on the Website Page.

Published: March 2023

High levels of dietary sodium are associated with hypertension and non-communicable diseases. We aimed to develop a model for reducing sodium consumption at the district level using a mechanism developed by the District Health Board (DHB). Hankha District in Chai Nat Province was selected as the study area. The study was conducted between June and December 2022. Research methods included the development of a model to reduce sodium consumption, questionnaires and focus group discussions, and measuring the amount of salt in food and blood pressure levels among study participants. The developed model comprised three measures; monitoring people’s sodium consumption; creating a mechanism for driving and managing the environment contributing to behavioral changes; and providing knowledge and promoting behaviors among groups at high risk for hypertension. After model development, the mean knowledge scores among DHB members and their skills in managing plans and projects were significantly higher than those before the process. Mean knowledge scores, health literacy and proper sodium consumption behaviors among at-risk groups were also higher. In addition, the increased knowledge scores significantly correlated with proper sodium consumption behaviors. Our results should encourage authorities at the policy level to apply a DHB mechanism to reduce sodium consumption in communities.

On 1 Dec 2020, the Thai Department of Disease Control was notified of five COVID-19 infections among passengers on a flight from Switzerland to Thailand. The objectives of this investigation were to confirm the outbreak, describe epidemiological characteristics, and identify the source of infection. We performed a descriptive study and contact tracing among the flight’s passengers. We interviewed the cases and reviewed their medical records, as well as an environmental survey of the state quarantine facility. Whole genome sequencing to determine the percentage alignment identity for RT-PCR-positive cases was conducted. Thirteen infected passengers out of 107 people on the flight (12.1%) were identified. The suspected index case was a symptomatic passenger, non-mask-wearing passenger. Five of the 13 confirmed cases shared a similar genomic pattern (98–100% alignment identity), and four cases sat within one row either in front of or behind the suspected index case. The genomes of the cases were more similar to each other than those uploaded to the GISAID database from Switzerland. The symptomatic COVID-19 passenger without mask wearing was suspected to be the source. Mask wearing should be mandated on flight to prevent spreading of respiratory infectious diseases.

Four cookbooks published by the newspaper Exce?l- sior between 1943 and 1945 show that World War II was not apparently a main concern for Mexican people, at least not for homemakers. Twice a year the newspaper conducted an adver- tising campaign to gain subscribers, using as grand prizes lavish homes in sweepstakes as well as carefully edited cookbooks, all focused on women and families.
Methodological and didactic approach to the phenomenon of dystopy in secondary school's reading books in the Republic of Serbia (the second half of XX and the beginning of XXI century)

Selected excerpts of representative novels of various genres have a special place in gymnasium's and secondary vocational schools' reading books. Therefore, the methodical approach in the interpretive processing of this complex and layered artistic literature material is a serious teaching challenge. The hypothetical starting point in this case is the phenomenon of dystopia present in the chosen reading books which is seen through literary and artistic processing. Through this topic, we have meticulously and seriously analyzed the relationship between the novel and the reading books, as a first and obligatory textbooks for teaching literature. The aim of our research is to determine the presence of novelistic dystopian art material in gymnasium's and secondary vocational schools' manners of interpretation. The subject of the research are secondary schools' textbooks in the Republic of Serbia present in teaching practice in the period from the first half of the XX century and in the first decades of the XXI century.We based the research on forty copies of reading books from all secondary education grades. The reading samples are works of thirty authors and are printed in several different-unmodified, modified, supplementary and revised editions - focusing on the most characteristic copies of reading books from different periods and system and program phases that significantly affected their content. We believe that the chosen sample of the study is reliable, and the conclusions we came to are a realistic presentation of the state of novelistic prose in our reading books. Although the novelistic text is only one literary reading segment, our findings are largely valid for the overall genre-textbook treatment of literature. The research in this case was conducted on the reading books from the Zavod za udžbenike, which is our only decades-old publisher of textbooks that is 'current' even today.
Consumers with math anxiety, a financially vulnerable group? Unpacking the negative relation between math anxiety and performance on a price comparison task

Published: March 2023

Comparison shopping is good financial practice, but situations involving numbers and computations are challenging for consumers with math anxiety. We asked North Americans (N = 256) to select the better deal between two products differing in volume and price. As predicted, math anxiety was negatively related to performance on this Price Comparison Task. We then explored the mechanism underlying this relation by testing math competency, price calculation ability, need for cognition, and cognitive reflection as potential mediators. The results from a competing mediator analysis indicated that all factors, apart from need for cognition, served as significant independent mediators between math anxiety and performance on our Price Comparison Task. This study has important implications for how–and why–math anxiety relates to a person’s ability to accurately compare product prices. These data suggest that consumers higher in math anxiety may represent a financially vulnerable population, particularly in the context of financial tasks that are inherently mathematical.
