The Mediating Effect of Self-Motivation on the Relationship Between Social Skills and Competence of Teachers
Authors: Mangarin Rey Avila , Namalata Jenemer
Published: November 2024

Competence in teaching ensures that educators can effectively convey knowledge, engage students in meaningful learning experiences, and foster a deeper understanding of the subject matter. However, the poor competence in teaching can often stem from a lack of self-motivation in teachers, compounded by weak social skills, which hinder their ability to connect with students, collaborate with peers, and maintain a dynamic, engaging classroom environment. This study determined the mediating effect of self-motivation on the relationship of social skills and competence of teachers in a certain public high school. Participants in the study were the 174 public school teachers randomly chosen to respond to the survey conducted. Quantitative non-experimental descriptive correlation was the design utilized in this study. Survey questionnaires were used in the collection of data. Pearson-r, regression analysis, and mediation analysis were used to analyze the gathered data. It was found out that social skills significantly influence the competence of teachers. Also, social skills significantly influence self-motivation. Further, self-motivation significantly influences the competence of teachers. Self-motivation mediates the significant relationship between social skills and competence of teachers. This implies that the mediating effect of self-motivation on the relationship between social skills and teacher competence suggests that while social skills contribute to competence, the internal drive of self-motivation significantly enhances this connection, potentially amplifying the positive outcomes in teaching effectiveness. Further studies are recommended to be conducted to explore other factors mediating the relationship between social skills and competence of public-school teachers.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar as causas da Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) em felinos, para a melhor conduta clínica no manejo desses pacientes portadores, proporcionando uma qualidade de vida com a diminuição dos danos e estabilização da doença. Objetivos específicos: Descrever a fisiopatologia da DRC destacando sua relação com a doença secundárias; Compreender o manejo adequado dos pacientes com DRC; Conscientizar os futuros Médicos Veterinários sobre o manejo adequado para diminuição de danos visando a promoção da qualidade de vida com manejos efetivo. A DRC é uma condição de grande relevância na população felina, sendo a segunda maior causa de morte em gatos. Caracteriza-se pela perda irreversível de massa renal funcional e pela redução da taxa de filtração glomerular. Embora as causas exatas da DRC ainda não sejam totalmente compreendidas, fatores de risco incluem inflamações, uso de medicamentos nefrotóxicos e hipertireoidismo. O sistema urinário é formado pelos rins, ureteres, bexiga e uretra, responsáveis pela produção e excreção da urina, com a eliminação de substâncias nocivas para o organismo. O diagnóstico da DRC em gatos envolve diversos exames complementares, com ênfase na medição da creatinina sérica e na ultrassonografia abdominal. O manejo da DRC em felinos, conforme diretrizes da Sociedade Internacional de Medicina Felina, foca em tratamento de suporte e sintomático, visando melhorar a qualidade de vida e desacelerar a progressão da doença. A hospitalização é necessária em casos de desestabilização do paciente. A dieta renal deve ser restrita em fósforo, proteínas e sódio, e rica em calorias e nutrientes. É fundamental monitorar níveis de potássio e acidose metabólica. O controle da hipertensão sistêmica e infecções do trato urinário também é essencial. A doença é incurável, mas o diagnóstico precoce pode aumentar a sobrevida dos animais, ressaltando a necessidade de mais estudos para melhorar a prevenção e o tratamento adequado. O acompanhamento veterinário regular é essencial para monitorar a progressão da doença e ajustar o tratamento conforme necessário. A educação do tutor sobre os cuidados em casa e a importância da hidratação também são fundamentais. Este trabalho conclui que a DRC em gatos, embora incurável, pode ser manejada efetivamente para prolongar a vida e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos felinos afetados, através de um diagnóstico precoce e intervenções adequadas.

Com história quase tão extensa quanto a própria existência humana, estudar o vestuário e seus diversos aspectos é compreender o comportamento de toda uma civilização. Na atualidade a difusão do uso de roupas por todo o mundo e a propensão no consumo de bens têxteis impulsionada pelo mercado da moda causa uma grande defasagem de peças antigas com consequente e, por vezes inapropriado, descarte em massa das peças adquiridas. Os aspectos metodológicos desta pesquisa compreenderam uma survey que adaptou direcionadores teóricos de ações de sustentabilidade em cadeias têxteis para o contexto dos consumidores destes produtos. Dentre os principais resultados, pôde-se verificar a relação entre diversos perfis econômicos e graus de instrução formal de consumidores e suas tendências a aderir produtos sustentáveis. Esta pesquisa contribui com organizações que atuam no ramo têxtil ao relacionar o perfil econômico e grau de instrução de consumidores com a efetividade das práticas de sustentabilidade em suas cadeias de suprimento. Tal relacionamento pode levar as organizações a focarem esforços em práticas sustentáveis para o perfil de consumidores que se mostraram receptivos à estas ações. A característica dos resultados demonstrou a relação entre os perfis econômicos e o grau de instrução com a receptividade à aquisição de produtos têxtis de empresas sustentáveis. Foi possível concluir que o grau de instrução formal possui relação direta com a receptividade à aquisição de produtos têxteis sustentáveis enquanto ao perfil econômico guia a estratégia de compra (independente do nível de receptividade).

Abstract. Mapping vegetation cover is an important step in generating baseline data for various purposes such as smart agriculture, disaster and hazard monitoring, as well as risk assessment and planning. For this purpose, the use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) has become prevalent in recent years as an efficient and cost-effective way of obtaining very-high-resolution images. However, it is limited by its lack of spectral bands used for discriminating between land cover classes, especially vegetation. An object-based approach was used due to its suitability with high-resolution input datasets, as it can recognize complex shapes and patterns aside from spectral characteristics. The drone images were segmented using optimal parameters to produce image objects which were subsequently classified through supervised learning using the Random Forest (RF) algorithm. This study incorporated non-conventional spectral indices that use RGB bands only, such as Triangular Greenness Index (TGI), Excess Green (ExG), and Tree-Grass Differentiation Index (TGDI), as well as the canopy height data derived from RPA photogrammetry to improve classification accuracy. To further improve model performance, appropriate band weights for segmentation were determined by running a RF classifier to obtain band importance values. Accuracy assessments reveal that using additional indices and heights improved the accuracy resulting in a 20% increase in the average f1-score, with the vegetation classes improving by a 25% increase in their f1-scores (8–41% improvement per class). Using the integration of band importance values as weights to the object-based segmentation slightly decreased accuracy values for the vegetation classes by an average of 0.04 in the f-1 score. The methods developed to improve the accuracy of RPA image classification make it more suitable for mapping vegetation.
Growth Simulation of Agriculturally Dominant Cities by Incorporating Multiple Drivers into a CA-based patch-generating Land Use Simulation Model: A Case Study in Siracusa, Italy

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Understanding the historical trajectory of land use and land cover (LULC) and predicting future alterations is essential to advancing the SDGs. Current researches on LULC in agriculture-dominated cities primarily focuses on the spatiotemporal pattern analysis of carbon storage changes, with relatively little attention given to LULC simulation studies. Moreover, most studies employing cellular automata (CA) models concentrate on urban centers, overlooking the specific sustainable development of agricultural cities. This paper selects Siracusa, Italy, as a case study, incorporating multiple drivers and constructing four development scenarios. The patch-generating land use simulation (PLUS) model is employed to predict the LULC for Siracusa by 2030 and to examine potential transformations under each scenario. Our findings show that 60% of the land in Siracusa is designated as cropland, predominantly situated in flat regions. Our simulation results reveal that urbanization and demographic growth are the main factors driving cropland conversion to urban areas. Different development scenarios exhibit significant variations in future land use structures; the cropland protection scenario emphasizes the stability and sustainability of agricultural development, whereas the economic development scenario highlights the substantial impact of urban and industrial expansion on agricultural land. These insights are instrumental for land use planning and policy-making in Siracusa and other agriculture-centric cities, providing a framework to guide urbanization while promoting agricultural sustainability.

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Access to sanitation remains a major concern in the Philippines due to the increasing population and growing demand for basic needs. This study addresses poor sanitary conditions in slum areas, specifically in BaSECo Compound, Manila, where informal settlers rely on shared toilets. Utilizing GIS and MCDA, the study identifies areas suitable for community toilet facility (CTF) development. The Modified Huff Three-Step Floating Catchment Area (MH3SFCA) method quantified spatial accessibility to existing toilets. The SPAI map shows low accessibility in blocks 15 and New Site, with Gawad Kalinga, Habitat, and Old Site (N) having none. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) prioritized six criteria, with accessibility being the most significant (33.18%), followed by proximity to water supply (31.76%), communal septic tanks (14.53%), land use (8.2%), flood-prone areas (7.44%), and ground slope (4.89%). The final suitability map identified 14.12% of the 0.6 sq. km. area as highly suitable, including Block 15, Gawad Kalinga, Habitat, and Old Site (N). Ground truth verification visited five candidate sites, which were tested for improved SPAI maps. The inclusion of facilities in Block 15, GK 2, OSN, and H improved accessibility in northern BaSECo. Significant service area improvements for each CTF were observed using Voronoi polygons. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating GIS and MCDA methods for CTF site selection.
Crypto-Spatial: A New Direction in Geospatial Data
Authors: Rawal Darshana , Amaduzzi Salvatore , Seedorf Jan
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Geospatial technology involves the use of maps, satellite imagery, and spatial databases to collect, analyze, and visualize geographic data. Understanding the link between blockchain and geospatial technology is crucial as it opens the door to innovation and progress in both fields. “The use of Blockchain as a system for managing and verifying geospatial data necessitates accuracy, integrity, and trustworthiness”(Pengxiang et al 2022). Improving data integrity, promoting collaboration, and revolutionizing applications in the geospatial domain are all possible through the combination of these two technologies. The World Wide Web (WWW) has expanded connections worldwide, but it also makes networks susceptible to multiple attacks from various anonymous sources. Packets of fixed or variable sizes are used for transmitting data across nodes. Data is encrypted using secure algorithms at the application level, then packetized and sent at lower levels in the OSI architecture. The encrypted data can be obtained by an intruder by organizing the data contents of each packet once they have access to all the packets. Intruders may also attempt to break the secured algorithm used by the sender. This sophisticated approach to Data Security is the content and order of data, ensuring that unauthorized individuals are unable to discern sensitive information during data transmission. The primary objective of this paper is to introduce a novel spatial encryption technique designed to enhance the security of data transfers within networks. This paper, founded on a comprehensive literature review, endeavors to propose a research project focused on exploring futuristic solutions, particularly within the post-quantum era.
FORMATION OF THE BOTTOM BOTH ZONE OF THE WELL
Authors:   Russian State University of Oil and Gas named after I.M. Gubkin, Moscow, Russian Federation, Podgornov V.M.
Published: November 2024

One of the important factors in oil fields is the technology of formation of the bottomhole zone. This process can improve well operation efficiency and improve well completion. High permeability of bottomhole zones of productive formations, low well productivity. In practice, the decrease in formation permeability at the bottom of the well is largely due to the effects that cause the interaction of filter fluids that occur during major repairs. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the interaction of process fluids and rocks based on the integrated use of modern laboratory studies of field data, and also to study the features of the formation of bottomhole zones of productive formations during the operation of production wells in fields. An analysis of scientific publications based on the study of articles showed that one of the main problems of existing methods for assessing the condition of well bottoms is their diversity in the physical sense and the impossibility of identifying the predominant factors that form them.

The influence of a Tunnel Boring Machine on a building in Sofia City Center, located above the route of the third Metro line
Authors: Bozhinova-Haapanen Assia
Published: November 2024

The construction of the third line of Sofia underground railway (Sofia Metro) used to be one of the major priorities of the geotechnical engineers in the Bulgarian capital for a period of at least two years. Since the first and second lines pass under the existing streets and parks, the third line is designed to go under some buildings erected in the last century. These buildings have been part of the architectural cityscape for years. Such is the case described in the present paper. The underground railway is designed to pass under a building in the Sofia city center. It is a five-story skeletal building, constructed on single and strap foundations. The purpose of the study is to establish whether the settlement due to the passing of the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) will adversely affect the structure of the building. The solution is for a single plane task. Data given in the manual of the TBM and the subsoil geotechnical properties are used in order to define the behavior of the soil massif. After the calculations have been made, the relative settlement of the building is determined to be much smaller (1/1662) than the allowable one (1/500). Then the maximum relative settlement is calculated to be 1/1054, which is higher than the average settlement for the whole building, but much less than the allowable. The calculations and comparisons are confirmed in practice.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model for the identification of modifier genes of paraquat toxicity
Authors:   ,   Universidad del Desarrollo, Rubilar Espinoza Juan Carlos
Published: November 2024

Paraquat (PQ) is a potent herbicide that induces oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. In humans, it is highly toxic, and it can induce Parkinson's Disease (PD). PD is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease, with a worldwide prevalence of 315 per 100,000 people of all ages. Recent studies have revealed that neurons from PD patients exhibit stress responses, mitochondrial dysfunction, and metabolic deficits involving ATP and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). While studies have demonstrated the potential of nicotinamide riboside (NR) to mitigate age- and disease-related metabolic decline in PD, the specific effects of NR on PD induced by pesticide exposure, such as paraquat, have not been extensively explored. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a model organism that has allowed the study of relevant biological processes over time. It exhibits remarkable genetic diversity, making it an ideal model for studying the genetic basis of phenotypic variation. In this study, we hypothesized that genetically diverse Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains exposed to paraquat exhibit cellular and molecular responses that reveal potential modifier genes associated with its toxicity. We treated 1,011 isolates and 96 segregants from the cross of SA x WE founder Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with PQ (75 μg/mL). We measured their growth curves and calculated the specific growth rate (μMax), used as a phenotypic trait for the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping. We performed mixed-model association analysis using FaST-LMM for GWAS and linkage analysis using R/qtlsoftware, calculating LOD scores with a nonparametric model. We used diploid strains (603 isolates) for GWAS and 96 segregants for QTL mapping, identifying variants and markers that exceeded the significance threshold. Using these variants and markers, we identified candidate genes for validation. We validated NRT1 in a yeast mutant and subsequently showed that NR treatment provided significant protection against PQ-induced damage in both S288C yeast and iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons from GBA-PD patients. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the genetic and metabolic factors underlying PQ resistance in S. cerevisiae. The findings highlight the importance of NAD+ metabolism and mitochondrial function in mitigating the toxic effects of PQ. The identification of Nrt1 as a key transporter of NR, suggests potential therapeutic targets for interventions aimed at preventing or treating PQ-induced toxicity in PD.

El día 7 de agosto de 1956, a la 1:07 de la madrugada 7 camiones cargados de dinamita explotaron provocando destrozos en un radio de 7 cuadras al oriente de Cali, la ciudad de los 7 ríos y las 7 colinas. Desde los primeros momentos de la hecatombe y durante varias semanas, múltiples sujetos y entidades comenzaron a dar cuenta de la catástrofe en un entramado de textos que eran volcados sobre los apabullados ánimos de los sobrevivientes de aquel pavoroso suceso que es nuestro propio Hiroshima: avisos, noticias, telegramas, notas radiales, de televisión, comunicados oficiales, fotografías, rumores, reclamos, mentiras y verdades que se acumulaban unos tras otros.El narrador también ha quedado disperso en el intento por armar su relato; varias son las voces (entre ellas la de un reportero) que retomando otras voces (las de los damnificados, los muertos, los heridos, los culpables...) se encargan de rehacer el tejido roto y confuso de los hechos, en una polifonía desordenada que pretende ser la metáfora de cómo quedaron entreverados los seres y las cosas ese día en Cali. Un hecho histórico pasado por el atanor alquímico de la ficción poética para restaurarlo del olvido.
L’histoire des sciences dans l’enseignement et la formation scientifique. Une longue histoire
Authors: Savaton Pierre
Published: November 2024

La réforme de 2019 des programmes d’enseignement des sciences au lycée revendique l’introduction d’une histoire raisonnée des sciences au sein d’un enseignement scientifique commun à tous les élèves de la voie générale. Cette volonté affichée d’une prise en compte de l’histoire de la construction des sciences interroge l’historien de l’enseignement sur le caractère novateur ou non de ce discours. En réexaminant les textes officiels et les travaux historiques sur l’enseignement des sciences depuis deux siècles, et plus spécifiquement ceux relatifs à l’enseignement des sciences de la nature, nous interrogeons dans cet article la succession des discours et leur évolution. Quelles leçons pouvons-nous tirer des précédentes réformes au moment de mettre en œuvre ces nouveaux enseignements ?
Introduire l’histoire des sciences en classe pour travailler les représentations de la/des science(s). La transition géo-héliocentrique selon une approche anthropologique des pratiques scientifiques
Authors: Maurines Laurence
Published: November 2024

Nous présentons la démarche didactique à orientation curriculaire que nous avons suivie afin d’élaborer et expérimenter des « investigations documentaires historiques » visant à transmettre aux élèves une image plus authentique des sciences, puis le cadre théorique multidimensionnel adopté pour caractériser ces dernières. Nous montrons comment cette caractérisation, qui articule pratiques sociales, psychologie et anthropologie, peut être mobilisée pour élaborer et évaluer des dispositifs d’enseignement originaux sur l’exemple d’une séquence d’enseignement sur la transition géocentrique à héliocentrique. Conçue pour la classe de terminale scientifique, elle repose sur sept textes rédigés afin de mettre en valeur l’existence et l’évolution de présupposés au sein de la physique, et sur trois questionnaires. Les résultats obtenus avant enseignement confirment les hypothèses faites concernant les représentations de l’observation comme « neutre » et d’une démarche inductive. Après enseignement, ils montrent une vision des pratiques donnant un rôle plus grand aux dimensions humaine et sociale des sciences, ainsi qu’une évolution de la place de l’observation dans la démarche scientifique. Nous concluons en discutant des problèmes soulevés par l’expérimentation et l’introduction de l’histoire des sciences en classe.
On Sexuality and Persianate Modernity
Authors: Kanner-Botan Allison
Published: November 2024

This article assesses sexuality as a crucial component of Persianate modernity in Alexander Jabbari’s The Making of Persianate Modernity. Drawing on the work of Joseph Massad, Afsaneh Najmabadi, and Michel Foucault, Jabbari argues that nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary historians erased premodern Persianate homoerotic desire to craft a “productive” vision of modernity. This erasure participated in a larger epistemic shift that located heteronormative coupling as useful for emerging nation-states. Alongside this erasure, the author points to other ruptures related to sexuality in Persianate modernity, such as the surfacing of a distinctly feminine voice that speaks of desire, the post-1980s adoption of LGBTQ+ identities by many in the modern Persianate world, and the loss of a premodern Islamic approach to romantic love understood as a disease within humoral medicine. Drawing from her own work, Kanner-Botan indicates how continuities in premodern Islamic approaches to love may serve as an additional counterpoint to the epistemic rupture caused by modern approaches to sexuality. Though the ruptures caused by modern approaches to sexuality in the Persianate world merit further research, Jabbari’s engagement with rupture counters the book’s overall focus on continuity by foregrounding the risks of nostalgia latent within the category of the Persianate itself.
The Torah and Atonement
Authors: Goldingay John
Published: November 2024

The “sin offering” in Lev 4 has had a significant role in the development of a doctrine of the atonement. The article considers further what Leviticus means by sin or offense, sin offering or offense offering, mistake, guilt offering or fault offering, stain on the person and on the sanctuary, violation, reparation, ransom or covering or cleansing or atonement, and pardon and forgiveness. It notes how these find expression in Israel’s history and considers how they illumine the significance of the death of Jesus for the Jewish people and for the world. It notes that Leviticus does not talk about wrath, propitiation of God, or substitutionary punishment. It concludes that looking at the death of Jesus in light of its provision, one can see that he dissolved our stain, won a victory over the forces of death embodied in our stain, made reparation to God on our behalf, embodied God’s gracious willingness to carry us in our waywardness, and drew the world to seek God’s pardon, but that God is concerned for justice as well as mercy and can also let his people and the world carry their own waywardness.
The Consolation of Untamed Nature in Job 38–41 according to John Chrysostom
Authors: Roosien Mark
Published: November 2024

This article discusses John Chrysostom’s interpretation of Job 38–41 as consolatory, which stands in stark contrast with an influential modern interpretation of the whirlwind speeches. As an investigation into patristic exegesis, it argues that John’s approach is motivated by a desire to guide the reader to the contemplation of untamed nature for the purpose of consolation amid suffering. According to an influential scholarly view, the whirlwind speeches do not so much address Job’s concerns as they seem simply to intimidate and belittle him. God puts Job, and humanity, in their place. By contrast, John Chrysostom reads the whirlwind speeches not as a demotion of Job’s humanity and a dismissal of his persistent inquiries into divine providence. Rather, the speeches comprise an a fortiori argument for God’s special care for human beings, offering consolation to Job in the midst of suffering. This article proceeds in four stages. First, it unpacks John’s approach to contemplation of nature as a source for knowledge of providence. Second, it discusses his idea of providence as rooted in philanthrōpia, divine love for humanity. Third, it shows how the contemplation of untamed nature in Job 38–41 can function as a path to discovery of philanthrōpia. Finally, it shows how John constructs Job as an exemplary teacher who leads the reader to their own discovery of consolation. Throughout, it demonstrates how John’s arguments are grounded in his reading of the Greek version of Job, notably in places where it differs significantly from the Hebrew.
Who Is the King of Glory? Identifying and Explaining Two Examples of Patristic Prosopological Exegesis with a Brief Critique of Matthew Bates
Authors: Willis Timothy Scott
Published: November 2024

This article explores two proposed instances of patristic prosopological exegesis in Ps 24: the identification of the King of glory with the resurrected and ascending Jesus, and the antiphonal speakers of vv. 7–10 with angelic guards at the gates of heaven. Far from being arbitrary connections, notable textual ambiguities and typological elements accessible to ancient authors ground the identifications in the psalm text. These examples of patristic exegesis fit generally within the research of Matthew Bates, but they provide a basis for slightly modifying his proposed definition of prosopological exegesis.
DO SOCIAL MEDIA UNDERMINE STRUCTURES? RETHINKING THE STRUCTURE-AGENCY DEBATE
Authors:   Erzurum Technical University, BASKAN Burak
Published: November 2024

The study reconsiders the structure-agency debate in a world dominated by internetisation and social media. To answer the question of whether social media weaken the structures embedded in societies, four phenomena are analysed: Dissemination and control of information are the main areas of conflict between actors and structures. The cyber public sphere has emerged as social media has become an important medium for shaping public opinion. Cyber activism, which has made important strides in moving political networks into the virtual world, has become an alternative to activism in the physical world. As individuals engage in human relations in virtual world just as in physical world, cyber identity has entered our lives. The study’s main finding is that although structures have developed new strategies and instruments to monitor, control and regulate the cyber world; social media continues to be a ground that increases the capacity of agencies for actors against structures.

Published: November 2024

Energy is one of the issues that have remained at the forefront throughout history as one of the basic needs of great importance for humanity. For this reason, the energy phenomenon is one of the most important phenomena that must be secured in the international system. In this study, the energy phenomenon will be discussed in terms of security and the security of the phenomenon in question will be underlined, and the importance of energy in the international system will also be emphasized. Energy will be tried to be included in expanded security studies, to which a great contribution has been made especially by the Copenhagen School, by considering both its 4 A’s (Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability and Affordability) and its supply, demand and transition dimensions. As a result of all these efforts, it is aimed to introduce the 'energy security' sector into the literature, where energy is discussed alone in the security dimension, independent of other energy sectors.

Authors: Guzmán Delgado Carlos Enrique
Published: November 2024

El objetivo del presente trabajo de investigación es el de identificar y determinar los principales factores del rendimiento de la qañawa, con la finalidad de aportar información para su mejoramiento genético posterior. Los datos fueron obtenidos del Banco Nacional de Germoplasma de Granos Alto Andinos de la localidad de Kallutaca. Mediante un análisis de regresión múltiple se seleccionaron las variables que más afectan el rendimiento de la qañawa, medida por el peso del grano. También se analizaron los coeficientes de sendero para determinar los efectos directos e indirectos de ocho variables en seis variedades de qañawa. Los resultados revelan que el número de ramas y el peso de broza son los factores más influyentes en el rendimiento de la qañawa, lo que sugiere su uso en programas de mejoramiento genético. El estudio concluye que la variación en el peso de grano está principalmente explicada por estos dos factores, lo que proporciona una base para mejorar la productividad de la especie en condiciones adversas del altiplano.

Context: A regular Yoga program for undergraduate healthcare students transitioned into an online mode due to restrictions of COVID-19 pandemic. All participants underwent six months of weekly Yoga training, of which three months were through online mode. Aim: To study the perception of undergraduate healthcare students on the effectiveness of online Yoga sessions on physical and mental wellbeing. Materials and Method: After six months of Yoga training, a survey questionnaire was developed, validated and shared with the participants as a Google form to assess the perceived effectiveness of online yoga sessions. A five-point Likert scale was used to assess the perceived effectiveness of the online Yoga sessions on physical and mental wellbeing, and open-ended questions assessed its perceived benefits and limitations, which were analysed thematically. Results: 124 undergraduate healthcare students completed the survey. The majority of participants rated online Yoga as beneficial for both mental and physical well-being, with 79.8% finding it helpful for their mental health and also 78.2% finding it helpful for their physical health. When comparing formats, 54.8% found online sessions helpful but less effective than offline ones, while 25.8% rated them equally effective. Thematic analysis revealed perceived advantages such as mental stability, convenience, and safety from practicing at home, as well as drawbacks like connectivity problems, distractions, space constraints, and a lack of in-person guidance. Conclusion: Participants found online Yoga sessions during the lockdown helpful for their physical and mental wellbeing. The majority of the participants felt that though the online Yoga sessions are helpful, they are less effective than offline, face-to-face interactive Yoga sessions.
