Garden access and barriers for low-income community members
Authors: Duerst Cherish , Williams Robert , Lopez Jose , LaVergne Douglas
Published: November 2024

Gardening can be an important source of fresh food for impoverished households, yet people experiencing food insecurity in the United States often lack access to any form of garden. Although research on community gardening is plentiful, research on other forms of gardening, such as resi­dential and container gardening, especially among rural populations, is scarce. This project investi­gates the garden-related experiences of food pantry customers in rural northern Minnesota, in the Bemidji area. We address gardening in its many forms, including residential, container, community, and other types of gardening. We focus on the spe­cific barriers to garden access, and propose several solutions to these barriers, as suggested by study participants. Over one-third of food pantry customers dur­ing the study period responded to a questionnaire administered in the waiting room of the food pan­try (n = 205, N = 562). Although 91% of respond­ents stated that they wanted to garden, and 85% had gardened in the past, only 31% were active gardeners. This equates to 60% of questionnaire respondents who wanted to garden but were cur­rently not gardening, and is 22% of the total custo­mers to the food pantry during our study period. Although it may be easy to assume that these indi­viduals simply do not want to garden, our study found many specific reasons that prevented these otherwise motivated individuals from gardening. Participants offered suggestions to relieve these barriers, some of which are in the control of local policymakers. Our findings showcase the motiva­tion, knowledge, and experience of rural, low-income individuals and encourage policymakers to take this into consideration when trying to promote gardening.

Published: November 2024

In this editorial, we comment on the paper by Muthu et al published in the recent issue of the journal. This editorial review focusses on the use of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in knee osteoarthritis treatment. We discuss the differences between the stromal vascular fraction and microfragmented adipose tissue and highlight the results of clinical studies comparing both treatments and the use of hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma, and bone marrow aspirate concentrate. The use of expanded ADSCs is also discussed; moreover, concerns regarding treatment with ADSCs, particularly the heterogeneity of published studies and the need to standardize protocols to explore clinical potential is explored.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that allows machines to analyze large datasets, learn from patterns, and perform tasks that would otherwise require human intelligence and supervision. It is an emerging tool in pediatric orthopedic surgery, with various promising applications. An evaluation of the current awareness and perceptions among pediatric orthopedic surgeons is necessary to facilitate AI utilization and highlight possible areas of concern.

AIM

To assess the awareness and perceptions of AI among pediatric orthopedic surgeons.

METHODS

This cross-sectional observational study was conducted using a structured questionnaire designed using QuestionPro online survey software to collect quantitative and qualitative data. One hundred and twenty-eight pediatric orthopedic surgeons affiliated with two groups: Pediatric Orthopedic Chapter of Saudi Orthopedics Association and Middle East Pediatric Orthopedic Society in Gulf Cooperation Council Countries were surveyed.

RESULTS

The pediatric orthopedic surgeons surveyed had a low level of familiarity with AI, with more than 60% of respondents rating themselves as being slightly familiar or not at all familiar. The most positively rated aspect of AI applications for pediatric orthopedic surgery was their ability to save time and enhance productivity, with 61.97% agreeing or strongly agreeing, and only 4.23% disagreeing or strongly disagreeing. Our participants also placed a high priority on patient privacy and data security, with over 90% rating them as quite important or highly important. Additional bivariate analyses suggested that physicians with a higher awareness of AI also have a more positive perception.

CONCLUSION

Our study highlights a lack of familiarity among pediatric orthopedic surgeons towards AI, and suggests a need for enhanced education and regulatory frameworks to ensure the safe adoption of AI.

Published: November 2024

Wetlands in India are seriously threatened by pollution due to rapid urbanization, industrial activities and unsustainable agricultural practices. The water quality of an urban lake is a key concern. A survey by line transects and point count method were conducted around Singanallur lake, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. The surface water samples were collected in sterile containers from the inlets and outlets of Singanallur lake between 2009 and 2011 and the physicochemical parameters, nutrient properties and heavy metals were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The pH value consistently appears to be above 7, indicating the alkaline nature of the water. Total suspended solids, total solids and total dissolved solids were exceeded the WHO permissible limit. Among the metals analyzed, copper was found to be the most prevalent at a concentration of 39.4 µg/ml. Stepwise linear regression (R = - 0.87) shows a strong negative relationship, suggesting that as the pollution load index (PLI) increases, the bird population correspondingly decreases. Specifically, the PLI was recorded at 4.5 in 2009 and had risen to 8.43 by 2011. The high PLI adversely affects the abundance and health of aquatic organisms, which serve as primary food sources for many bird species. The poor water quality of the surface water due to anthropogenic pressures in Singanallur lake gives out a serious warning, highlighting the urgent need to conserve the fragile ecosystem.
Synthesis of Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticle Adsorbents from Waste Aluminum Foil and Assesses Their Efficiency in Removing Lead (II) Ions from Water
Authors: Aktaruzzaman Md , Salam Sayed M.A. , Mostafa M.G.
Published: November 2024

Aluminum oxide nanoparticles have recently been applied to water treatment as adsorbents by researchers. In this study, aluminum oxide nanoparticles (AlONPs) were synthesized using scrap aluminum foil through a straightforward, inexpensive, and green approach, and their performance in adsorbing lead (II) ions from an aqueous solution was assessed. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) to analyze their bonding nature, particle size, phase composition, and surface morphology. They exhibited an average particle size of 32.73 nm, consisting predominantly of γ-Al2O3, with small amounts of α-Al2O3 and a minor unknown phase. The lead adsorption efficiency was evaluated under optimized parameters, including pH, contact time, and doses of both adsorbate and adsorbent. The results demonstrated that the AlONPs achieved a 98% removal efficiency within 30 minutes of contact time at a pH of 5.5. Additionally, the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model (R² value of 0.9972) and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (qe) value of 37.97 mg/g) were shown to fit the lead adsorption process better than other models. Hence, the synthesized AlONPs offer potential as nanoparticle adsorbents for removing lead (II) ions from aqueous solutions.

Confrontar ou conciliar? A Economia Comportamental e suas duas atitudes frente ao mainstream econômico
Authors: Kato Gabriel de Castro , Fernandez Ramon Garcia
Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho se propõe a analisar a construção da crítica promovida pela Economia Comportamental ao irrealismo da teoria econômica. Tal crítica é central para construção do pensamento comportamental, tendo inspirado os trabalhos de Herbert Simon, bem como os de Kahneman e Tversky. Estes autores são pioneiros das abordagens “Original” e “Nova” da Economia Comportamental, sendo que tal distinção se dá em termos do entusiasmo com que suas contribuições foram recebidas pelo mainstream econômico. A análise das proposições destes autores evidência a importância da postura de uma crítica amigável, adotada por Kahneman e Tversky, na promoção de um diálogo produtivo com o mainstream da Economia. Apesar da relevância adquirida pela Economia Comportamental por meio da aceitação de suas proposições, argumenta-se a favor da necessidade de um aprofundamento das críticas realizadas com o intuito de consolidação da abordagem comportamental como um paradigma alternativo à abordagem econômica tradicional.

Published: November 2024

Tuff, a type of volcanic rock, is inherently a non-renewable material due to its prolonged formation process in nature and its slow regeneration rate. Its application in road construction hinges on the sustainable use of local resources and the provision of sustainable alternatives should tuff reserves deplete. This study explores the sustainable employment of tuff in desert road construction by integrating red brick waste into the tuff. By adding red brick waste to the tuff in varying proportions (10%, 20%, 30%), we aim to achieve dual objectives: enhancing the sustainability of tuff usage in road construction and mitigating environmental pollution from red brick waste. We focused our investigation on several key physical and mechanical properties including the Modified Proctor, California Bearing Ratio (CBR index, ICBR), and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS). The findings indicate that a 20% inclusion of red brick waste improves the geotechnical properties and mechanical behavior of the tuff, yielding a UCS of 5.05 MPa and an ICBR of 83.53%. Meanwhile, a 30% inclusion delivers acceptable results, with a UCS of 2.8 MPa and an ICBR of 80.19%, aligning with requisite standards.
Mentoring as a Critical Factor in the Development and Productivity of Scholars in Academia
Authors: Bobb Susan C. , Hoshino Noriko , Tokowicz Natasha
Published: November 2024

Mentoring is critical to the development and productivity of scholars in academia (e.g., Bain, Fedynich, & Knight, 2011). Research by Tenenbaum, Crosby, and Gliner (2001) points to 3 distinct types of support provided by mentors: networking, psychosocial, and instrumental. In this chapter, we provide examples of our own experiences as mentees with Judith Kroll, who provides all 3 of these types of mentorship support to her trainees. We first introduce ourselves and describe how we met Judy, then talk about her mentorship in these 3 areas, and finish with how our scholarship has been shaped by our work with Judy and her approach to scholarship.
When Jugglers Learn to Tango: Switching Between Languages and Disciplines

Published: November 2024

In recent years, the study of codeswitching has made great strides by leveraging a multidisciplinary approach that integrates insights from experimental psycholinguistics, corpus linguistics, cognitive psychology, neurolinguistics, and other allied fields. We provide an overview of 2 main strands of this research, focusing on the control process model of codeswitching (e.g., Green, 2018), the variable equivalence hypothesis (e.g., Torres Cacoullos, 2020), and the ways in which these accounts of codeswitching behavior intersect and complement one another. We argue that the common insight of these 2 distinct approaches is their focus on conventionalized linguistic norms at the level of the speech community. The second portion of the article sheds light on how various aspects of codeswitching experience give rise to adaptive change through bilingual phenotyping, highlighting the centrality of our mentor Judy Kroll's contributions to this research. Finally, we present a social network analysis of Judy's research publications and argue that the high degree of interconnectivity in Judy's research network, combined with the many positive community norms that she has been instrumental in establishing, have greatly benefited both the individual members of the network and the research enterprise itself.
Evil, Theodicy, and Moral Ontology in Jerzy Kawalerowicz's Mother Joan of the Angels
Authors: Siciński Łukasz
Published: November 2024

This article analyzes the philosophical underpinnings of Jerzy Kawalerowicz's Matka Joanna od Aniołów [Mother Joan of the Angels, 1961], centering on the film's main character, Father Suryn, and his attempts to understand and deal with the demonic possession of the film's eponymous nun. The trajectory of Suryn's struggles, I argue, is based on two philosophical frameworks. The first, assumed in his initial approach to the possession, is characterized by a distinction between appearances and reality. The second, which marks Suryn's point of arrival, rejects this distinction and limits itself to the domain of appearances. This article traces the implications of this shift for understanding moral values. I demonstrate that the idea that the world of appearances is all there is corresponds in the film with a view that values are irreducibly plural and often incompatible. Then, I examine the film's focus on the phenomenon of transgression and argue that it anchors the film's pluralist moral ontology by suggesting a link between values and human responses to them.

This study aims to find out how the management of Sedana Mekar BUMDes applies the principles of village autonomy in Mekarsari village, East Lore sub-district, Poso district. This research was conducted in the village of Mekarsari, East Lore sub-district, Poso district with the theory of village autonomy put forward by Sutoro Eko (2014), which is Impunity and Initiative. The research method uses qualitative with descriptive research type. The technique of determining informants used a purposive sampling technique with 6 informants. Data collection techniques were carried out by means of observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this study concluded that the implementation of the principles of village autonomy in the management of BUMDes Sedana Mekar in Mekarsari village was considered not optimal. This is based on aspects of Sutoro Eko's theory used in this study, namely the principle of impunity and initiatives in the management of BUMDes Sedana Mekar. Inadequate planning often occurs in BUMDes management so that the initiatives implemented are not optimal. And it is also found that there are irregularities in the principle of impunity, namely the appointment of BUMDes administrators from village officials which causes the village oversight function of BUMDes to become village oversight of itself.

Мақсад. Эрта ёшдаги болаларда куйиш касаллигининг ўткир даври, оғир куйиш шокини комплекс даволаш усулларини такомиллаштириш.Материал ва усуллар. РШТЁИМнинг Самарқанд филиали комбустиология бўлимида 2010–2022 йилларда оғир куйиш жароҳатлари билан даволанган эрта ёшдаги 320 нафар болалар 2 гуруҳга ажратилиб шокка қарши даво натижалари ўрганилди. Асосий гуруҳдаги 215 (67,1%) оғир куйиш жароҳати бўлган болаларда куйиш касаллигининг ўткир даврининг этиопатогенези асосида индивидуал инфузион терапия, эрта нутритив озиқлантириш қўлланилди. Назорат гуруҳдаги 105 (32,9%) куйган болаларда анъанавий шокка қарши даволаш усуллари ўтказилган. Беморлар ёши 6 ойликдан 3 ёшгача бўлиб, ўртача 1,2±2,0 ёшни ташкил этди. Натижалар. Болалар куйиш шокига қарши такомиллаштирилган ва индивидуал инфузион-трансфузион терапия ва эрта энтерал озиқлантириш усули, умумий қабул қилинган шокка қарши интенсив даволаш усулига қараганда самарали эканлиги ўз тасдиғини топди. Шок даврида ўлим кўрсаткичи назорат гуруҳида 7,6% ни ташкил қилган бўлса, асосий гуруҳда бу кўрсаткични 4,7% га пасайтиришга эришилди. Интенсив даволаш реанимация бўлимида ётоқ кунлари назорат гуруҳи беморларида 13,41±8,11 кунни ташкил қилган бўлса, асосий гуруҳ беморларида эса 11,41±6,21 кунга камайтиришга эришилди. Бунинг натижасида эрта жарроҳлик амалиётини бажариш имкони бўлди. Токсемия ва септикотоксемия даврида асоратлар камайиши, оғир ва ўта оғир куйиш жароҳати олган эрта ёшдаги болаларда умумий ўлим ҳолати назорат гуруҳида 30,6% га, асосий гуруҳ беморларида 19,2% га камайиши кузатилди. Хулоса. Бошланғич инфузион терапия умумий куйиш майдони 20% дан кўп бўлган ҳолларда, боланинг физиологик эҳтиёжини 50% кристаллоид эритмалар+энтерал озиқлантириш, 35% тузсиз эритмалар, 15% коллоид эритмалар +5% альбумин + янги музлатилган плазма юбориш гиповолемик ҳолатни эрта бартараф этишда аҳамиятли эканлиги исботланди. Эрта нутритив озиқлантириш усули ҳам инфузион терапия ва антибактериал даволаш сингари муҳим ўрин тутади. Оғир куйиш травмаси олган эрта ёшдаги болаларни наркотик анальгетиклар билан оғриқсизлантириш туфайли ижобий натижаларга эришилди

Czechia: Demography, Family Policy, and Law Instruments to Protect and Support Families
Authors: Králíčková Zdeňka
Published: November 2024

The portrait of the family and family life has been changing in the Czech Republic, particularly over the last five decades, as is reflected in the country’s legal system. Many legislative changes occurred in the Czech Republic after the fall of the Iron Curtain, followed later by others. In this context, the Czech Republic’s accession to several international human rights conventions and the passing of the new Civil Code are relevant. Considering demographic challenges, this chapter focuses on the current Czech family law, in particular, its principles and the instruments aimed at protecting and supporting families, parents, children, and vulnerable family members.
The Background of Population Decline
Authors: Lenkovics Barnabás
Published: November 2024

This chapter endeavours to explore, or at least initiate and inspire exploration into, the underlying causes of population decline observable in the so-called ‘Western’ and ‘developed’ world, attempting to look beyond aspects of law and jurisprudence. This is approached with a holistic perspective that also takes into account the results of other scientific disciplines. The chapter touches upon the ‘global paradox’ wherein the developing and impoverished parts of the world struggle with the challenges of overpopulation. The chapter perceives a universal (shared and European) crisis of values as the principal cause of population decline. Exploring the scope of these issues, it elaborates on the processes of secularisation and, indeed, desacralisation that have dismantled the sanctity of marriage and the commitment to childbearing, eroded the family as a community of love, and subsequently degraded fundamental values represented by the family, such as loyalty, trust, solidarity, altruism, gratitude, and respect. The chapter also engages with the power of faith and love, the value represented by these concepts, and the relationship between faith and science, giving attention to each idea proportional to its significance for the subject. It explores the Christian ‘good human project’ as a civilisational value, as well as its precursor, the idealised human archetype of the virtuous person and the good and caring patriarch (known as the ‘good farmer’ in Hungarian civil law). Contrastingly, it investigates the complications arising from the incursion of dominance, including systems of dominance related to private property, as well as non-ownership systems. The chapter discusses the replacement of female dominance with male dominance and the possibility of a redistribution of roles and the subsequent cooperative accord. It proposes that the resolution to the demographic crisis could be found in the creation of a civilisation of love, which indispensably requires a rearrangement of current value priorities and the promotion of happiness research as a new scientific field. Meanwhile, it views the revolution and apparatus of sexuality as one of the false paths of selfish individualism. Freedom must be protected from distortion into licentiousness, and fundamental rights (and core values) must be safeguarded against abuses by the legal system.
