Mentoring Matters When Growing Your Own Educators
Authors: Gomez Witmer Miriam
Published: August 2024

The journey to establish the Future Educator Pathway (FEP), formerly known as Project Teacher Development, has been a long yet gratifying one. My colleagues and my students have been instrumental in helping to design a pathway for middle school and high school students of color to pursue a career in education. The whole process began with the Color of Teaching Mentoring Program (CoT) established in 2007 and now includes the CoT, Side-by-Side (SBS) in-school seminars for high school students, a Future Educator Academy (FEA), which is a summer residential college experience, and an opportunity for high school students to take up to four dual enrollment courses to jump start their college careers. The mentoring components of the FEP are the most crucial as they establish effective mentor-mentee relationships to foster a sense of belonging on a college campus, encourage exploration of careers in education, support mentees’ goal achievement, and endeavor to diversify the educator workforce. This paper describes the development and impact of the FEP on recruiting and retaining students of color to pursue a career in education. Findings indicate that mentees who participate in at least two of the four FEP programs persist toward their goal at a higher rate, and mentors report growth in their understanding of the importance of being culturally responsive mentors and educators demonstrating the reciprocal nature of mentoring.

Published: August 2024

Corrosive processes in technical systems are crucial for their longevity and reliability. The stability of engineering structures and the efficiency of technical systems depend on successful corrosion management. In this regard, manufacturers and researchers are actively working on the development of mathematical models for the prediction and control of corrosion processes. Mathematical models have become a key tool for accurately predicting corrosion activity and assessing associated risks. This opens up opportunities for the rational use of resources and preventing accidents, which can significantly enhance the durability of technical constructions. The primary goal of scientific research is to develop effective models that consider the key factors influencing corrosion. Incorporating these factors into mathematical models enables a comprehensive approach to the problem that adapts to various conditions and characteristics of technical systems. The emphasis on mathematical models is determined by their ability to provide accurate forecasts of corrosion activity and to control and prevent negative consequences for technical systems. Research focuses on identifying key factors, developing high-precision models, and considering various conditions and features of technical systems. The overall objective is to create effective tools for predicting corrosion activity and preventing negative impacts on technical systems. This not only contributes to the development of advanced technologies in industry and engineering but also improves safety standards and the longevity of technical constructions. Among the important aspects related to corrosion processes in technical systems, it is crucial to consider their ecological consequences. Corrosive damage can lead to the release of harmful substances into the environment, resulting in soil and water pollution. Specifically, the corrosion of metal structures can contribute to the release of toxic metals, negatively impacting biodiversity and ecosystems. The application of mathematical models for predicting and controlling corrosion activity not only contributes to resource conservation and increased durability of technical systems but also plays a crucial role in reducing environmental impact. Minimizing corrosion processes helps maintain ecological stability and makes a significant contribution to preserving natural resources and biodiversity
Increasing the efficiency of gas reservoir development in conditions of uneven gas consumption
Authors: Kondrat Oleksandr , Horobets Petro
Published: August 2024

One of the main indicators of Ukraine’s energy security is the extraction of hydrocarbons, the continuous increase in reserves, and the discovery of new fields. However, no less important is the rational use of natural gas reserves in already existing fields. In Ukraine, there are several fields from which natural gas, after being processed, is directly supplied to consumers in certain settlements and does not enter underground storage facilities because the fields are not connected to Ukraine’s unified gas transportation system. This mode of operation directly depends on the seasonal fluctuations in natural gas consumption by the population, which in turn affects the technological regime of the existing wells and leads to the disposal of excess natural gas through flaring during the summer period or the search for expensive ways to utilize the extracted gas, such as laying additional pipelines and constructing compressor stations. Operating gas wells in a regulator mode during seasonal usage by injecting excess gas into the lower horizons of the field in the summer period and subsequently extracting it during the heating season allows for increased efficiency in the development of gas deposits under conditions of uneven gas consumption. This approach helps to avoid the disposal of excess natural gas, extends the development period of the gas field, and prolongs the operation of the wells

Published: August 2024

Increasing the production of natural hydrocarbons requires an increase in the volume of exploration and exploration for oil and gas, and this requires such work to be carried out in areas that were previously considered unpromising. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to collectors in carbonate deposits, where fractured zones can be observed, which can be reservoirs of oil and gas. Considering this, the Oligocene carbonate layer of the Krosnen zone of the Folded Carpathians is one of the interesting objects for the search, exploration and devel?pment of hydrocarbon deposits. In order to assess the quality of reservoir rocks, which are composed of fractured limestones, it is necessary to conduct a more detailed study of their filtration and capacity properties. The article presents the results of the study of Oligocene limestones of Lutnyanska square, which is located within the Krosnen zone. A comprehensive approach was used for the study of reservoir rocks composed of fractured limestones, which included lithologic-stratigraphic, petrographic and geochemical analyses, as well as the study of fracturing and structural features of the rocks. The results of the researches indicate a high fracturing and a favorable mineral composition of the limestones, which indicates good filtration-capacity characteristics and confirms their belonging to reservoirs for hydrocarbons of industrial importance. In the results of the study and analysis of the produced grindings from the limestones of the Oligocene deposits, diagenetic changes were found in them, which affect the porosity and permeability, which makes it possible to assess the reliability of the natural reservoir for the accum?lation and preservation of hydrocarbon deposits. The practical value of the obtained results lies in their use for planning and high-quality conducting of exploration and exploration for oil and gas, which can increase the eficiency of the development of oil and gas fields in carbonate deposits

Published: August 2024

Introduction: An efficient stroke program plays a crucial role in timely diagnosis and management of acute stroke cases. Our hospital has endorsed performance targets for critical steps in the stroke activation and management pathway. This is a quality improvement initiative aimed to identify bottleneck events within the current code stroke pathway that led to delays in image acquisition/interpretation and challenge the achievement of set benchmark times.

Methods: We constructed a process map outlining key steps in the code stroke pathway relevant to image acquisition and interpretation, aligning with the stroke target benchmark times. A total of 241 stroke cases documented between 1/1/2022 and 6/1/2022 were reviewed. Activity timestamp was utilized to calculate various time intervals and assess compliance with the specified benchmark times set by our institution’s stroke program.

Results: Arrival to stroke activation was the most frequently missed benchmark (miss rate of 45.8%) with wide ranging arrival to code stroke activation time (mean of 18.9±22.2 minutes). The next frequently missed benchmarks were arrival to noncontrast head computed tomography (NCT) read time (miss rate of 25.4%), and arrival to first CT angiogram (CTA) slice acquisition time (miss rate of 21.1%), both set at under 45 minutes. The fourth frequently missed benchmark was observed in order to CTA read time, where 19.0% of cases missed the goal time of under 60 minutes; this benchmark encompasses the time interval between the first NCT slice to the subsequent first CTA slice, a variable time interval under the radiology department’s control that averaged 9.1±18.6 minutes.

Conclusions: Although arrival to NCT read time and arrival to first CTA slice acquisition times were among the greatest missed time benchmarks, these were likely secondary to inconsistencies in arrival to code stroke activation time. One of the time intervals in the fourth frequently missed benchmark of order to CTA read time was under departmental control. Addressing and enhancing the consistency of this specific time interval could potentially contribute to an overall improvement in the time interval from ordering the CTA to the CTA being read.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND: The Ampullariidae family of molluscs is an emerging model for evolutionary studies due to its high diversity, ancient history and wide geographic distribution. miRNAs are essential for the development of the organism, as they help and act in the control of gene expression. The analysis of miRNAs in molluscs, especially in the family Ampullariidae, is especially important due to the low representativeness of analyzed species and the possibility of analyzing the conservation of miRNAs among ampullariids species. OBJECTIVE: Identification and characterization of miRNAs (precursors and matures) and their processing pathway genes. METHODS: Computational prediction and characterization of miRNAs and genes involved in the miRNA pathway were performed using public database of Lanistes nyassanus, Marisa cornuarietis, Pomacea canaliculata and Pomacea maculata. The in silico analysis was performed using a robust algorithm to identify and characterize miRNAs and their precursors in genome of ampullariids species. To search for the putative proteins involved in the miRNA biogenesis the putative proteomes from 4 Ampullariids species and Blastp tool were used. Characterization of conserved protein domains was performed using the PFAM and CDD. Phylogenetic analyzes were performed for the ampullariids miRNA precursors and their orthologs and also for the putative ampullariids proteins involved in the miRNA pathway and their orthologs using MEGA program. FINDINGS: 141 pre-miRNAs and 162 mature miRNAs were identified in the genome of L. nyassanus, 279 pre-miRNAs and 297 mature miRNAs in the genome of M. cornuarietis, 269 pre-miRNAs and 296 mature miRNAs in the genome of P. canaliculata and 299 pre-miRNAs and 316 mature miRNAs in the genome of P. maculata. We identified and characterized 24 putative key proteins involved in the miRNA pathway including Argonaute, DICER, DROSHA and EXPORTIN protein families in the predicted proteome of the 4 ampullariids. The data obtained in this work will support studies of phylogeny, population divergence, speciation and patterns of diversity in the Ampullariidae Family. MAIN CONCLUSIONS: The searching for novel miRNAs and their processing pathway genes in 4 species of ampullariids was able to predict new structures expanding the study of miRNAs in molluscs and in Ampullariidae family, as well as open an avenue to study the roles of miRNAs in the organisms.

Nos últimos anos, os inibidores da bomba de prótons (IBPs) tornaram-se amplamente utilizados no tratamento de doenças gastrointestinais, como refluxo gastroesofágico e úlceras pépticas. Apesar da eficácia dos IBPs em suprimir a produção de ácido gástrico e aliviar sintomas gastrointestinais, seu uso prolongado tem sido associado a preocupações com a saúde óssea. Este estudo visa revisar a literatura existente sobre os efeitos do uso prolongado de IBPs na saúde óssea, identificar os mecanismos envolvidos e explorar as estratégias para minimizar o risco de fraturas ósseas. Utilizando uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática de estudos clínicos e epidemiológicos entre 2000 e 2024, foram analisados os impactos dos IBPs na densidade mineral óssea (DMO) e a incidência de fraturas. Os resultados indicam uma associação clara entre o uso prolongado de IBPs e a diminuição da DMO, particularmente em populações vulneráveis como idosos e mulheres pós-menopáusicas, devido a alterações na absorção de cálcio e vitamina D e alterações na atividade celular óssea. Além disso, o estudo comparou os IBPs com outras opções terapêuticas, como antagonistas dos receptores H2, ressaltando que as alternativas podem oferecer menos riscos à saúde óssea. As implicações clínicas destes achados são significativas, sugerindo a necessidade de monitoramento rigoroso e estratégias para mitigar os riscos. Em conclusão, enquanto os IBPs são essenciais no tratamento de condições gastrointestinais, é fundamental equilibrar seus benefícios com os potenciais riscos à saúde óssea, através de decisões terapêuticas bem-informadas e práticas clínicas baseadas em evidências.

La empanada chilena
Authors: Rojas-Le-Fort Marlene , Pérez-Sánchez Guadalupe
Published: August 2024

Quizá la comida chilena por antonomasia es la empanada. Aun así, su imagen no está exenta de controversias, siendo la principal la presencia de pasas en el relleno. Se revisó la historia de la empanada chilena para entender la pertinencia y función de las pasas en el relleno, y así determinar si son parte de una tradición gastronómica ancestral o una moda asociada a gustos. Para ello se realizó una revisión bibliográfica no estructurada que abarca desde las primeras referencias documentadas hasta la segunda década del siglo XXI. Complementariamente, se realizó una comparación de ingredientes y del proceso de producción de tres recetas representativas; una del siglo XIX, una del siglo XX, y una receta reciente. Se concluyó que las pasas son parte importante en la receta de las empanadas de horno para ocasiones especiales, pero no lo son para las de consumo diario. Por lo tanto, su uso es discrecional y puede depender tanto del gusto del comensal como la ocasión para la que se prepara el producto, mismo que se determinó está en constante evolución.

Published: August 2024

Este estudio se enfoca en la Fanesca, plato tradicional ecuatoriano consumido durante la Semana Santa, que refleja una mezcla de influencias culinarias prehispánicas y europeas, así como simbolismos religiosos católicos. Aunque la Fanesca es ampliamente reconocida en Ecuador, la información cuantitativa sobre su interés público es limitada. El estudio utiliza Google Trends para explorar el interés en la Fanesca a lo largo de veinte años, revelando patrones geográficos y temporales. Mediante Google Trends, se analizó el término "Fanesca" en Ecuador entre 2004 y 2024, utilizando el volumen relativo de búsqueda (RSV) para medir el interés relativo. Los resultados muestran un máximo interés en la región Sierra norte, con una disminución hacia el sur y las regiones Costa y Amazonas. La provincia de Imbabura lidera en interés, seguida por otras provincias del norte de la sierra. La Fanesca es principalmente popular en la región Sierra, con un interés mínimo en la región Costa. El interés por la Fanesca se concentra durante la Semana Santa, con un pico en Viernes Santo, seguido de un rápido descenso. Aunque se observa un ligero aumento en el interés fuera de la temporada festiva, este sigue siendo insignificante. Las comparaciones con otras preparaciones culinarias de Semana Santa muestran la preponderancia de la Fanesca a nivel nacional, con excepciones en provincias específicas. El estudio contribuye al conocimiento gastronómico al identificar momentos óptimos para promover la Fanesca y resalta áreas de oportunidad durante el resto del año. Además, presenta un enfoque metodológico para estudiar la presencia y evolución de preparaciones culinarias a nivel provincial en Internet.

The Higher Education Progression Partnership South Yorkshire (HeppSY) is part of the Uni Connect Programme (UCP), funded by the Office for Students. The main focus of Uni Connect is to provide targeted higher education outreach to young people in Years 9 to 13 living in particular geographic areas. From November 2017 to 2023, HeppSY conducted an annual Learner Survey to evaluate the students’ understanding of higher education, their expectations, and important factors related to their academic performance and choices. HeppSY evaluators consistently employed gap analysis method to analyse the learner survey data and to identify: • changes in outcomes between different academic year; • gaps of specific learning outcomes between different demographic groups; • and the cold spots (areas where there is no outreach delivery). Annual partnership reports provide insights from the analysis of survey data to inform what worked and what more needs to be done. They are valuable tools for strategic planning for HeppSY interventions.

University support services are often underutilised by ethnic minority male students. This research aimed to identify the perceptions of ethnic minority male students around using university mental health support services, including the barriers and facilitators to utilisation. The project used Listening Rooms for data collection, whereby participants pair up and undertake a recorded conversation based around talking points pertaining to the project. Fourteen pairs (n=28) participated in conversations. A round table analysis of the data took place, followed by further thematic analysis on the transcripts using Nvivo. Participants overall appeared to be positive about and grateful for, the existence of a mental health support service, despite a mixed level of awareness of its existence and differing conceptualizations of what mental health means. Barriers to service utilisation could be split into institutional and sociocultural. Institutional barriers included a perceived lack of cultural and ethnic representation amongst practitioners, as well as bureaucratic factors such as access difficulties, whereas sociocultural barriers pertained to cultural taboos and fear of judgement. As university intakes become ever more diverse, university support services must adapt to meet the needs of their populations. Findings support the need for a more representative staffing of services which would engender confidence in ethnic minority male students. Working to further raise awareness levels of the service as well as explaining how, when and why one might access the service would also be beneficial to those who do seek support.
A process and impact evaluation of the PGCert and MA Student Engagement in Higher Education programme
Authors: Donnelly Alan , Austen Liz
Published: August 2024

This executive summary provides a brief overview of a project which evaluated the processes and impact of the Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) and Master’s (MA) in Student Engagement in Higher Education at the University of Winchester. The postgraduate programme of study focuses on student engagement practices, policies and partnerships in UK Higher Education (HE) and it was created in 2018 to address a lack of professional development opportunities for practitioners who are responsible for engaging with students in HE. A Theory of Change approach was adopted to structure the evaluation, which aimed to understand ‘how much’ and ‘how and why’ change had occurred on the course since its inception. A mixed-methods post-test design was used. An Advisory Group of practitioners, who were either studying on the course or had graduated, were recruited to: co-create the Theory of Change and determine their own definitions of ‘success’; design the methods of data gathering; and reflect on emerging findings. Evidence of impact was collated from practitioners studying on the course, graduates and staff on the course via peer-led interviews, online reflective activities and other sources of evidence. The evaluation findings highlighted that the programme had a positive impact on practitioners while studying on and after completing the course across several areas, for example, within their knowledge, skills and practices, confidence in academic spaces, networks, career progression and personal success. Impact was also reported within practitioners’ organisations of employment, such as changes in culture around student engagement. The blended delivery of the PGCert and MA enabled individuals to study on the course alongside their professional roles and the effectiveness of these processes facilitated the impact outcomes. The evaluation demonstrated the potential of using a Theory of Change approach to structure the planning and design of evaluations of a HE programme of study, particularly for extending exploration of impact beyond traditional measures of course evaluation.

The pricing in this dataset is difficult to acquire and of significant interest to libraries that license these products and those wishing to investigate pricing strategies and approaches in the library database market.
Accès aux soins des demandeurs d’asile ayant fait l’objet d’un ordre de déportation :
enjeux éthiques pour les soignants en contexte québécois
Authors: Doussau Adélaïde
Published: August 2024

La situation des demandeurs d’asile reclus sous avis de déportation peut exposer
les soignants à des enjeux éthiques cliniques et organisationnels majeurs. Pour aider les
soignants et les organisations de soins à trouver des balises éthiques, nous avons dressé un
état des défis d’accès aux soins, et analysé les données sanitaires et sociopolitiques, pour
saisir les enjeux éthiques et logistiques auxquels ces situations les confrontent. Notre
recherche montre que la situation de ces patients pose des enjeux légaux, d’équité, de
justice distributive, et un grand fossé de connaissance sur ces situations et les ressources
disponibles. Cette étude exploratoire indique d’une part que les médecins indépendants, les
ressources communautaires indépendantes, et l’hôpital sont les ressources les plus à même de
répondre aux besoins de soins des demandeurs d’asile refusés, et d’autre part, qu’il est
urgent de sensibiliser et de former les soignants à ces enjeux.
Bioethics and Burnout: Unpacking the Relationship
Authors: DeMichelis Carey , Zlotnik Shaul Randi , Kirsch Roxanne
Published: August 2024

Canadian healthcare systems are facing unprecedented challenges in recruiting and retaining workers. Literature on healthcare burnout and professional exit suggest multiple intersecting causes. Understaffing, residual trauma, compassion fatigue, demanding hours, rigid hierarchies, and moral distress, interlock and compound to create and sustain the current burnout crisis. In the face of this frightening reality, healthcare institutions and governments are investing billions in wellness programs, aimed at attracting new workers and incentivizing staff retention. Amid this rapidly evolving landscape, our workshop asked: Does clinical ethics have a role in addressing the ongoing burnout crisis? If, as the research suggests, moral distress and moral injury are key drivers of the burnout problem, should bioethics be part of the “wellness” solution?
JAV lietuvių delegacijų San Fransisko konferencijoje veikla 1945 m. balandžio–gegužės mėnesiais

Dviejų JAV lietuvių delegacijų, sudarytų iš tarpusavyje konkuruojančių Amerikos lietuvių tarybos ir JAV lietuvių tautininkų organizacijų, kurioms atstovavo Amerikos lietuvių misija, dalyvavimas tarptautinėje San Fransisko konferencijoje 1945 m. istoriografijoje dar nėra nuodugniau tirta problema. Išeivijos vadovų sprendimas siųsti savo atstovus siejamas su siekiu plačiau paskleisti informaciją apie Lietuvą ir jos gyventojų vargus, taip pat sudominti Lietuvos laisvinimo byla JAV ir kitų delegacijų narius konferencijoje. Viltasi, kad gal pavyks kiek nors paveikti konferencijos dalyvius dėl sovietų okupuotų tautų išsilaisvinimo iš priklausomybės. Atvykus lietuvių delegacijoms, jų atstovai užsiregistravo ir tuojau pradėjo susitikinėti su JAV ir kitų šalių delegacijų nariais, jiems teikė atsivežtus Memorandumus, kurie iš esmės buvo panašūs, ir literatūros Lietuvos ir kitų Baltijos šalių klausimu, surengė atskiras spaudos konferencijas. Patys lietuvių delegacijų atstovai savo ruožtu rinko informaciją ir siuntė JAV lietuvių spaudai. Be to, Amerikos lietuvių misijos nariai užprašė Mišias San Fransisko katedroje, aktyviai dalyvavo vietos radijo laidose. Visa tai lietuviams padėjo plačiau priminti Lietuvos klausimą, jos vargus ir siekius. Sulaukta užuojautos ir net pritarimo, bet nieko daugiau. Savo darbus konferencijoje ALT ir JAV lietuviai tautininkai pasistengė išreklamuoti išeivijoje. JAV lietuvių spauda ir Lietuvos diplomatai gana teigiamai vertino delegatų veiklą, ypač tautininkų pastangas, tiesa, neužmiršdami pažymėti jų vieningų veiksmų trūkumo, kuris turėjo atgarsį ne tik išeivijoje, bet ir už jos ribų.
