Svenska lärares syn på avvikelser mellan resultat på nationella prov och ämnesbetyg
Authors: Jönsson Anders , Klapp Alli
Published: October 2020

Since 2018, Swedish teachers are expected to pay particular attention to pupils’ results on national tests when grading. There are, however, still large discrepancies between national test results and teachers’ grades, which differ between schools and subjects. The purpose of this study is to investigate possible reasons behind these differences, from a teacher perspective. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with teachers who teach grade 9, either in physics (n=9) or English (n=12). The interviews have been transcribed and analyzed with thematic content analysis. The most important reason for differences is that the test results are considered misleading by the teachers. Although most reasons for considering the test results as misleading relate to test design, some of the reasons relate to the pupils. The only reason for differences that does not relate to test results being considered misleading, is that some pupils receive instruction at the end of the semester based on their shortcomings identified in the test. Furthermore, since the teachers tend to compare test results and own grades in a 1:1 ratio, they may discard the entire test if it is considered misleading. The fact that test results are presented as a single score or grade, therefore, seems to contribute to teachers not paying particular attention to test results when grading.

Current state of resources for japanese flying squid Todarodes pacificus in the northwestern Tatar Strait (Japan Sea)
Authors: Dulenina P. A. , Ustinova E. I. , Dulenin A. A.
Published: October 2020

Data on commercial catches of japanese flying squid Todarodes pacificus in the northwestern Tatar Strait in 2003–2019 are analyzed. To assess the resours status in the study area, the relative number (individuals per jigger winch per hour) and biomass (kilograms per vessel per day) marks recognized to be the most applicable winch per hour or the catch in kg per vessel per day. The average CPUE value was 35.6 ± 3.6 ind./winch/hour; increasing trend of CPUE is observed (α = 1.5 ± 0.6, r2 = 0.3, p < 0.03). The squid abundance decreased slightly in the last 2 years, with CPUE decreasing to 28 ind./winch/hour in 2019, though the squid biomass was relatively stable (average CPUE 582.0 ± 45.8 kg/vessel/day) — decreased number of caught individuals was compensated by individual body weight increasing. Long-term tendency to the body weight increasing was noted: the average body weight was 205.0 ± 4.0 g in 2004, 256.0 ± 3.5 g in 2012, and 297.0 ± 6.3 g in 2019. Possible climate change influence on the squid population was discussed. Because of warming in the reproductive area of T. pacificus in the southern Japan Sea, SST in the spawning period reached 20–25 оC and exceeded the value optimal for reproduction and larvae development (15–23 оC), so the squid abundance decreased. On the contrary, in the northern Japan Sea (in the Tatar Strait) the warming caused better conditions for the squid feeding: the higher zooplankton biomass in this area was observed under SST 13–18 оC that is reached every year recently. On the other hand, the Tsushima Current intensifying promoted active migrations of T. pacificus to the northwestern Tatar Strait. These factors of climate warming ensure favorable environments for northward migrations of T. pacificus and forming of dense feeding aggregations in the northwestern Tatar Strait that allows to expect good conditions for the squid fishery in this area in the nearest future.

Authors: Zaporozhets G. V. , Zaporozhets O. M. , Feldman M. G.
Published: October 2020

Data on quantitative distribution of early and late spawners of sockeye salmon in the Lake Nachikinskoye basin were collected in 2019 using quadcopter. Features of sockeye spawning in certain sectors of the lake coast and at the spawning stations are analyzed. The spawning starts earlier on the eastern coast, and then on the western coast. The late sockeye spawning is considered in details at the spawning stations on littoral shelves, on steep coastal slopes, in key limnocrenes, in algae fields at the depths up to 5 m, and in the river tributaries. Environmental conditions of the stations are compared quantitatively by several parameters, as water flows and their gradients, water temperature, dissolved oxygen content, soils composition, impact of predators and waves. Each station has its advantages and disadvantages. The lake shallows dominate among the spawning grounds, but their diversity provides stability and even growth of local sockeye salmon stocks. Spatial distribution of the sockeye spawning grounds is described. The number of spawned fish is assessed using the trapezoid approximation (TAUC) as 55 . 103 ind. for early sockeye and 132 . 103 ind. for late sockeye that shows a considerable growth of the stocks of sockeye salmon in Lake Nachikinskoye since the middle of last century.

Published: October 2020

Plants and natural compounds are extensively reported for diverse biological activities, including their effects on the inflammation pathway. The annual winter herb Diplotaxis Acris (D.Acris) is found only slopes of sandy and stony valleys in the desert. This research is intended to make a contribution to the literature regarding the employment of the species of plant ethnomedicinally by undertaking FTIR spectroscopic analysis and examining several concentrations of the plant's extract for anti-inflammatory activity in vitro with activated THP-1 human macrophages to examine its mediating effect on inflammation. Cell viability was also evaluated, and there was no severe cytotoxic effect from D.Acris extract with any of the concentrations being assessed on cells. ELISA was used to assess the pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemo kines that were produced. It has been noted that the plant extract led to a significant decrease in levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)- α and IL-6. Inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines indicates the anti-inflammatory trends of D.Acris. This plant can be investigated further by isolation of natural compounds from the extract and effects of these compounds can be evaluated on the same inflammatory markers to show the main active constituent responsible for anti-inflammatory activities.

The objective of present research work is, to develop an ethosome, as a carrier system for Plumbago root extract, its incorporation into gel formulations and to characterize the developed gel formulations by estimation of plumbagin content and study of antiacne activity. Roots of Plumbago zeylanica L (Plumbaginaceae) contains Plumbagin and is used for skin infections and intestinal worms. Topical therapy for acne includes comedolytic agents, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. The excessive use of antibiotics has led to the increased resistance of acne-causing bacteria. In this research work, plumbago roots have been screened for their potential use for the treatment of acne and hydroalcoholic extract of the roots was found to be effective. Seven batches (EF1-EF7) of ethosomes were prepared using soya lecithin (1-3%) and ethanol (10-45%) and the hydroalcoholic extract. The range of entrapment efficiency varied from 17.12 to 80.82%. The ethosomes EF6 having highest entrapment efficiency was incorporated into gel formulation. Carbopol 934P (0.5 -2%) was used to prepare ethosomal gel and evaluated for physicochemical properties, drug content and diffusion characteristics. The pH of the gel was in the range of 6.87 to 7.03. Viscosity was between 5600 - 9800 centipoises. The % drug content was in the range of 95.91% to 100.7%. The ethosome, in their gel formulation, showed good physicochemical properties, drug content and diffusion pattern. The anti-acne activity of F3 showed good zones of inhibition comparable with standard Clindamycin. The present study suggested ethosomal gel as an efficient carrier for plumbago root extract for antiacne activity.

Mandibular third molar surgery is one of the most common minor oral surgical procedures performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. It is vital to provide the most comfortable postoperative phase to the patient and for this reason dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, is popularly used in various routes. The intraspace injection of dexamethasone mixed with 2% lignocaine and 4% articaine named, Twin Mix and Modified Twin Mix respectively is gaining increasing popularity. 0.5% Centbucridine is a safe alternative to 2% lignocaine with more cardio stable properties. In this study we aimed to evaluate the comparability of Twin Mix(TM) and Revamped Twin Mix(RTM) (mixture of dexamethasone and centbucridine) with respect to its anesthetic properties and its effectiveness in managing postoperative sequelae following mandibular third molar surgery. For this, a randomised controlled double blinded study was conducted among patients reporting to the Out Patient Department of a dental college. The sample size of the population studied was 32, 16 in Group A (RTM) and 16 in Group B (TM). The primary outcomes measured were facial swelling and mouth opening on postoperative day(POD) 1, 3 and 7. The secondary outcomes were VAS score during the surgical procedure, duration and latency of anesthesia. The data were analysed descriptively and using Student’s t Test. Representations were given in graphical and tabular forms. The mean postoperative mouth opening and facial swelling on POD 1, 3 and 7 were comparable and did not show any statistically significant difference. Similarly, the VAS score during procedure, latency and duration of anesthesia were comparable with no statistically significant difference. In conclusion, RTM can be used as an alternative to TM due to its comparable properties.

Coronary Angiography and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention consider corner stone for diagnosis and treatment of CAD today. The previous studies that evaluated cardiac patients learning needs didn’t shed light on the unique needs of patients undergoing coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. The current study aimed toassesslearning needs and its associated factors among elderly patients undergoing coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention at Zagazig University Hospitals. Descriptive design was utilized to conduct this study. A purposive sample of 155 elderly patients undergoing Angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention at cardiac catheterization units in Zagazig University Hospitals a structured interview questionnaire consisted of three parts (demographic characteristics, health profile and habits of the studied elderly) anda modified Cardiac Patient Learning Needs Scale. The present study revealed that 61.3% of studied elderly patients had high learning needs, 29.7% had moderate learning needs. High level learning needs were found in males, married, those with low educational level, those didn’t receive instructions preoperatively and those didn’t have a history of previous coronary intervention. The studied elderly patients' learning needs were high in all domains. There were statistically significant relations between total learning needs and gender, marital status,educational status, receiving instructions previously, and previous cardiac catheterization. Continuously assessing the learning needs of patients undergoing coronary angiography and PCI. Develop a comprehensive health education program that is focused on these needs to enhance their knowledge and improve the outcome of their disease.
