Developing problem-solving and creative competences for students through teaching biology with a stem education orientation in Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Viet- Nga Thi , Le Thanh- Ha
Published: June 2024

This study uses a process of organising the teaching of biology for students following a STEM education orientation and examines the impact of this teaching process on the development of students' problem-solving and creative competences. Research and organize the implementation of three STEM lesson plans for 382 selected 11th-grade students in 3 schools in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2023. To assess the development of the problem-solving and creativity competence of students, the research is based on the structure of problem-solving and creativity competence, including 4 skills: problem identification (KN1); proposing and selecting solutions (KN2); planning, implementation, and evaluation of solutions (KN3); and report presentation (KN4). Assessing these four skills will show the level of students' problem-solving and creative competence. This study documents the positive relationship between STEM-oriented biology teaching and the development of students' problem-solving and creativity competences. Specifically, teaching STEM-oriented subjects increases students' problem-solving and creativity competences. The interesting thing is that classes with a small number of students are more effective in developing problem-solving and creative competence. Research has suggested that in classrooms with fewer students, teachers have more opportunities to interact with each student. The research results are of interest and beneficial to educational policymakers, schools, and teachers in trying to develop students' learning competencies, especially core competencies like problem solving and creativity.
Affordances in crop diversification: Three cases from the Philippines
Authors: Leon Teresa Joi P. de , IV Jaime A. Manalo
Published: June 2024

This paper investigated the viability of crop diversification as an alternative production system for Filipino rice farmers in light of the Rice Tariffication Law. Qualitative research methods were employed, including focus group discussions, key informant interviews, in-depth interviews, and wind-screen survey. The transcript analysis employed both inductive and deductive approaches, supplemented by auditability measures such as coding guides and informal member-checking. Using the Affordances Theory with additional insights from the Capabilities Theory and Intuitive Decision-Making Theory, the findings show that rice farmers in Nueva Ecija, Ilocos Norte, and Tarlac shared one cognitive process and one set of variables in deciding on diversifying crops. This is despite the provincial differences in farming contexts. Affordances and anti-affordances in crop diversification are dependent on farmers’ visual and tracking experiences, which guide them in their evaluation of crop diversification as a pro-welfare farming practice. They evaluate the suitability of crop diversification for their sociocultural, economic, and farming contexts, but then shift to intuitive decision-making for their ultimate decision. Risks that are mostly external to farmer control, such as sufficiency of irrigation, financial capital, weather, and climate, make them conclude in a posture of luck after a detailed evaluation process on the practice of crop diversification. This study provides insights into using crop diversification as an alternative production system for rice farmers.

O melhoramento genético é uma das formas de potencializar a produtividade, diminuir custos e proporcionar maior sustentabilidade, de modo que uma ferramenta auxiliar neste processo seria o conhecimento da relação entre as variáveis e a produtividade. Assim, o presente artigo foi realizado com o objetivo de estudar os efeitos diretos e indiretos entre os componentes químicos do grão na produtividade de milho sob cultivo em baixa latitude. Na safra 2018-2019 foram realizados dois ensaios de competição de cultivares, sendo um em Palmas e outro em Paraíso do Tocantins-TO. O delineamento experimental utilizado nos ensaios foi de blocos ao acaso, com 12 tratamentos e três repetições, os tratamentos representados por 12 cultivares comerciais, divididas em seis transgênicos e seis não transgênicos. Os caracteres estudados foram óleo, proteína, fibra, amido e produtividade de grãos. Foram realizadas análise de variância individual e análise conjunta. Posteriormente, foram estimados os coeficientes de correlação de Pearson entre os caracteres. Em seguida, as correlações foram desdobradas em efeitos diretos e indiretos dos componentes químicos do grão de milho (variáveis independentes) sobre a produção de grãos (variável básica). O amido apresentou correlação significativa alta e positiva, o que beneficiaria o aumento da produtividade e produtores em uma seleção de cultivares. Em contraposição, os teores de óleo e de proteína apresentaram correlação negativa a produtividade, porém se o interesse for produção para indústria seria estratégia interessante selecionar cultivares com esta aptidão.

O melanoma amelanótico oral é considerado um desafio diagnóstico devido a sua morfologia variável. Dessa forma o objetivo do presente trabalho é descrever os aspectos macroscópicos, histopatológicos e imuno-histoquímicos (IHQ) de um caso de melanoma amelanótico oral em um felino. O animal do caso descrito foi atendido em uma clínica veterinária localizada no município de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul (RS), com histórico de emagrecimento progressivo, sialorreia e aumento de volume em região caudal à orelha direita. No exame clínico foi observada uma massa intraoral sublingual. Fragmentos da massa foram coletados, fixados em formalina e encaminhados ao centro de anatomia patológica veterinária (CAP-Vet) de Pelotas-RS. Após fixação, as amostras de tecido foram processadas rotineiramente e coradas pela técnica de hematoxilina e eosina (HE). Cortes selecionados foram submetidos à técnica de imuno-histoquímica (IHQ) com os marcadores melan-A (MART-1), vimentina (V9) e citoqueratina (AE1/AE3). No exame histopatológico foi observada proliferação de células pleomórficas alongadas, com moderado citoplasma, núcleos ovais, por vezes, múltiplos ou tumefeitos e nucléolos evidentes. As células organizavam-se em feixes com diferentes angulações. Havia acentuada acantose, neovascularização e mitoses atípicas. Na IHQ houve imunomarcação positiva das células neoplásicas para vimentina e MART-1 e negativa para citoqueratina. O diagnóstico de melanoma amelanótico oral foi baseado nos achados macroscópicos, histopatológicos e confirmado pela IHQ. Os cortes de IHQ com o anticorpo Melan-A demonstraram intensa marcação positiva para melanócitos, o que possibilitou a diferenciação de outras neoplasias indiferenciadas, demonstrando a alta especificidade e eficiência deste no diagnóstico de melanomas amelanóticos.

A depressão pós-parto (DPP) é uma condição comum e debilitante que afeta muitas mulheres durante o puerpério, fase a qual é marcada por diversas mudanças tanto físicas como emocionais. Este estudo tem como objetivo revisar as abordagens terapêuticas mais promissoras e os programas de apoio disponíveis para mulheres com DPP, destacando a importância do acompanhamento integral e multidisciplinar. A pesquisa foi realizada em maio de 2024, utilizando uma revisão narrativa da literatura e analisando artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos. Os resultados apontam que o tratamento eficaz da DPP envolve uma combinação de psicoterapia cognitivo-comportamental, terapias alternativas e, em casos mais graves, medicação antidepressiva, com ênfase nos inibidores da recaptação da serotonina (ISRS). A psicoterapia mostrou-se especialmente eficaz em casos leves a moderados, enquanto os ISRS são recomendados para casos mais graves, sempre levando em conta a segurança durante a amamentação. Além disso, terapias alternativas como ioga e acupuntura demonstraram benefícios significativos. Conclui-se, então, que o tratamento para DPP deve ser personalizado, multidisciplinar e incluir o apoio da família e do parceiro, sendo essencial a capacitação de profissionais de saúde e a implementação de programas de apoio eficazes para melhorar os resultados terapêuticos e o bem-estar das puérperas.

Background and objectives: The corona virusvaccines are important in controlling the pandemic. In Kurdistan Region of Iraq three types of vaccines are available; Pfizer, AstraZeneca and SinoPharm. The objectiveof the study was to determine the effect of vaccine on severity and mortality rate among Covid-19 cases in Duhok, Iraq. Methods: In this Prospective study, 470 of hospitalized covid19 cases in Duhok, Iraqi Kurdistan between 1st june 2021 to 1st june 2022 were enrolled. Demographic parameters including age, sex, and past medical history of chronic diseases were taken. The severity of cases was assessed based on respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and percentage of chest involvement by CT scan. The types and doses of vaccines received by patients were recorded. The patients were followed-up by the outcome (recovered and discharged from the hospital or dead). Results: The mean age of the patients was 64.98 years. The males were (51.49%, n=242) and females (48.51%, n=228). The majority of them did not receive any type of vaccines (81.49%, n=383). Most of the vaccinated patients received Pfizer vaccine. In term of Covid-19 severity, the study showed (65.75%, n=309) had mild-moderate disease and (34.26, n= 161) had severe disease. Moreover, the mortality rate was lower among vaccinated patients compared with unvaccinated patients 24.14% to 40.73% respectively. The study revealed that having the severe cases and being old were considered the main independent predictor of mortality among the patients (p value <0.0001). Conclusions: Vaccinated patients had lower chance of severe chest involvement, oxygen requirement and death rate compared to unvaccinated patients in our study.

A ganglionopatia sensitiva é um subconjunto das neuropatias sensoriais, cujo principal acometimento anatômico é o gânglio da raiz dorsal, levando a perda de modalidades sensoriais diversas e com distribuição topográfica predominantemente em tronco, face e porção proximal, diferentemente dos acometimentos comprimento-dependentes, estes comuns as polineuropatias. A fisiopatologia varia conforme a etiologia de base, mas o principal modelo advém da ganglionopatia sensitiva paraneoplásica associada ao anti-Hu, que aponta para um processo mediado por células T citotóxicas.  As principais etiologias associadas são: paraneoplásica, autoimune, infeccioso , tóxico-medicamentoso e idiopático. Assim, o diagnóstico é estabelecido com conjunto de suspeitas clínicas tanto dos sintomas neurológicos quanto de manifestações sindrômicas paraneoplásicas, autoimunes e infecciosas, sendo importante a interagração com exames complementares para confirmação diagnóstica. O tratamento aborda a etiologia de base, e com a evolução da doença o prognóstico é reservado. No presente artigo, apresenta-se um caso clínico como base para discussão, evidenciando a importância do exame neurológico para o diagnóstico topográfico dessa doença.

Published: June 2024

It is crucial to promote awareness, particularly throughout society, regarding a topic that holds significant importance for our environment. This study was undertaken with the intention of making a contribution to research on carbon footprint, driven by this motive. In this study, the carbon footprint calculation of TED Diyarbakır (Türkiye) College was made using the IPCC Tier approach. The carbon footprint of 3 different capabilities, namely scope 1 (Natural gas, gasoline, diesel, fire extinguishers), scope 2 (electric) and scope 3 (Water consumption, services), were calculated. When Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 are evaluated together, it is seen that the amount of carbon footprint originating from Scope 1 is higher. Sources of emissions from Scope 1 include natural gas consumption, diesel and gasoline fuel consumption, as well as fire extinguishers. When the emission sources in the college were compared, it was determined that the highest carbon footprint was due to natural gas consumption within scope 1 (97.98%). Subsequently, it was determined that the carbon footprint was caused by existing vehicle shuttle within scope 3 (1.917%). Finally, it has been determined that the carbon footprint is caused by the existing electricity consumption within scope 2 (0.1%). It is stated that there are 2 reasons for the low carbon footprint caused by electricity consumption. The first is that the equipment used in lighting is LED, and the second is that there is no need for lighting fixtures due to the long lighting time of the day in our geography

Published: June 2024

This work focuses on the effects of the mobile phase pH and the counterion concentration in buffer solution on retention in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) mode. Analytes with various acid-base properties and a silica-based Diol stationary phase were used. Retention and separation selectivity changes with ionization of the analytes and the adsorbent’s groups were discussed. It was demonstrated that the Diol phase behaved as a cation exchanger at pH 5.76 because of its residual dissociated silanols, while the phase provided almost no charge at lower pH (2.85). Separation efficiency and asymmetry factors for ionized compounds were also affected by the changes of mobile phase pH and counterion concentration. Separation conditions for the mixture of analytes of various acid-base properties were established.
Does Arranging Solar Panels Vertically Mitigate Effects of Expansive Land Use?
Authors: Chen Wesley
Published: June 2024

When it comes to solving the ever more pressing problem of global warming, solar panels have a major flaw in the large land cost. As such, renewables such as solar panels must become more efficient in terms of land use. To evaluate a possible solution to this issue, namely, stacking solar panels vertically, we connected 4 solar panels to a trolling motor (load). Initially, all 4 panels were laid side-by-side, and voltage data of the load was collected. An extra solar panel was used to play the role of absolute standard for comparison.  Then we stacked 4 panels on a wooden tower, the last panel serving as control, with 0, 3, 6, … and 18 inches of separation. Analysis of the initial side-by-side with temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure all confirmed that our system behaved as intended. We found that 18 inches of separation generated around 40% of the power of side-by-side while 15 inches generated around 65% across similar weather conditions. Naturally, 18 inches of separation should have generated more power than 15 inches. This discrepancy could be explained by the experiment being conducted later in the winter. As a result, we can conclude that vertical configurations could produce the same amount of energy as side-by-side with just 38% of the land and 50% extra cost. However, the true benefits could be even higher, considering multiple facets of the solar system.

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a crucial crop in Ethiopia, and breeders test newly developed elite lines for superiority to existing cultivars to boost national productivity. Recently, commercial wheat varieties with higher genetic gain for economic traits have been released, which outperform older varieties. One such variety is Kulumsa, which has the pedigree “PFAU/MILAN/5/CHEN/ AEGILOPSSQUARROSA(TAUS)/BCN/3/VEE#7/BOW/4/PASTOR/6/2*BAVIS#1/7/BORL14” and selection history “CMSS13B00513S-099M-099NJ-099NJ-15Y-0WGY”. It was developed and released by Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center for mid to high altitudes of wheat-growing agroecology of Ethiopia. Kulumsa has higher grain yield performance than the check and has good agronomic characteristics and medium maturing type compared to the current varieties. It consistently out-yielded other tested bread wheat genotypes over two years. Compared to Wane, Danda'a, and Lemu checks, Kulumsa demonstrated significant improvement in agronomic characteristics and enhanced yield by 60%, 62%, and 68%, respectively. Wane (30.2g), Lemu (29.6g), and Danda'a (32.7g) have lower thousand kernel weights than Kulumsa (39.6g). Kulumsa had a 31%, 21%, and 34% thousand kernel weight advantage over Wane, Danda'a, and Lemu, respectively. The new variety has a better hectoliter weight than Wane, Lemu, and Danda'a by 18%, 13%, and 11%, respectively. The newly released bread wheat varieties are moderately resistant to stem rust, and yellow rust, and comparable for leaf rust disease and Septoria with the checks Wane, Danda'a, and Lemu. Kulumsa proved to be more resistant to stem yellow and leaf rust than all currently produced varieties in the mid to high-land part of wheat-growing agroecology. It offers new hope for farmers of Ethiopia and has a white grain color with good general acceptance for bread with high quality.

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a key evidence-based intervention to improve the outcomes of people living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). However, there are challenges in delivering pulmonary rehabilitation including reduced referral rates and suboptimal uptake and completion rates. Active video game interventions, when used as an adjunct, may increase the adoption of and access to pulmonary rehabilitation. This commentary summarises and critically appraises a systematic review which investigated the effectiveness of active video games as a supplementary component in the pulmonary rehabilitation of individuals suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
FinTech’s Double-Edged Sword: Economic Growth and CO2 Emissions – A Panel Data Analysis
Authors: Abdul Razzaq  , Shaheen Wasim Abbas , Salam Abdul , Afzal Kiran
Published: June 2024

This study explores the influence of financial technology (FinTech) on Economic Growth (EG) and environmental sustainability (measured through focusing on CO2 emissions). By analyzing panel data from 81 countries between 2001 and 2022, the research uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to evaluate direct, indirect, and total effects. The findings, derived from Stata 18, show a significant positive direct effect of FinTech on EG (coefficient = 0.8439, p < 0.001), affirming the hypothesis that FinTech stimulates economic development. Moreover, EG substantially boosts CO2 emissions (coefficient = 0.3628, p < 0.001), highlighting a trade-off between economic progress and environmental sustainability. FinTech also directly increases CO2 emissions (coefficient = 0.3511, p < 0.001), implying that advancements in financial technology can worsen environmental issues. The mediation analysis indicates that some of FinTech's impact on CO2 emissions is mediated through EG (indirect effect = 0.3061, p < 0.001), emphasizing FinTech's dual role in promoting EG and environmental degradation. The total effect of FinTech on CO2 emissions (0.6573, p < 0.001) underscores the substantial environmental costs associated with financial technological advancements. Theoretically, this research enriches the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and supports the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. It extends TAM by showing how the acceptance and integration of FinTech innovations affect macroeconomic and environmental outcomes. Additionally, it provides empirical support for the EKC hypothesis, which suggests that EG initially causes environmental degradation until a certain income level is reached, after which environmental conditions improve. These results highlight the challenge of balancing technological and economic advancements with environmental sustainability, stressing the need for policies that incorporate sustainable practices within the FinTech sector. This research adds to existing literature by offering detailed insights into the environmental impacts of FinTech and provides valuable guidance for policymakers aiming to foster sustainable economic development.

Authors: De Arce-Crespo J. I.
Published: June 2024

En el presente estudio se analiza la distribución de las mariposas diurnas en la provincia de Toledo y se citan como nuevas para la provincia cuatro especies: Carcharodus flocciferus (Zeller, 1847), Carcharodus lavatherae (Esper, 1783), Polyommatus escheri (Hübner, [1823]) y Plebejus idas (Linnaeus, 1761), llegando a un total de 108 taxones. Se ha ampliado la distribución de otras 76 especies en 40 localidades y 39 cuadrados UTM. Asimismo, hemos estudiado el nivel de presencia de cada mariposa, habiendo encontrado que algunas mariposas tienen una pobre presencia (sólo en una o dos cuadrados UTM), siendo estas últimas las más interesantes en cuanto a la conservación de sus poblaciones. Por último, se han identificado aquellos cuadrados UTM con mayor riqueza de especies de mariposas y hemos encontrado que la diversidad es muy baja si comparamos con otros cuadrados UTM de las provincias limítrofes.
