Published: November 2023

The mixture of pesticides is employed to obtain other mechanisms of action on target organisms. The herbicides atrazine and glyphosate are used worldwide to control weeds in agricultural crops, and their indiscriminate use results in their constant presence in the environment. In this sense, this study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic potential, the presence of chromosomal aberrations and nuclear abnormalities, and the frequency of micronuclei of active ingredients and commercial formulations of the herbicides atrazine (AT = 2 and 25 μg L-1) and glyphosate (GF = 65 and 160 μg L-1) isolated and in mixture (MIX = 2 + 65 and 25 + 160 μg L-1). Allium cepa root meristem cells were used as the test organism to evaluate environmentally relevant concentrations. Treatments containing the herbicides inhibited the mitotic index (ATAI2: 9.40 ± 1.36; GFAI65: 8.58 ± 1.10; MIXAI2+65: 6.99 ± 0.57; GFAI160: 9.77 ± 1.08; ATCOM25: 7.40 ± 1.38; GFCOM160: 8.26 ± 0.79) and showed chromosomal aberrations and nuclear abnormalities (ATAI2: 0.85 ± 0.17; ATCOM2: 0.97 ± 0.18; GFCOM65: 1.00 ± 0.18; MIXCOM2+65: 1.09 ± 0.25; ATAI25: 0.82 ± 0.17; GFAI160: 0.87 ± 0.23; MIXAI25+160: 0.95 ± 0.19; ATCOM25: 0.67 ± 0.19; MIXCOM25+160: 0.80 ± 0.25), indicating the cytotoxic/genotoxic potential of these herbicides. Mutagenic effects were seen in the mixture of the active ingredients of the herbicides at the lowest concentration tested (MIXAI2+65: 0.70 ± 0.57). These results indicate that the isolated herbicides and their mixture directly affect the genetic material. Therefore, we suggest reviewing the acceptable limits of these herbicides in the environment, emphasizing the importance and care required for properly handling these products to minimize environmental and human health risks.

Authors: Gonçalves Mariangela Rodrigues , Vianna de Pinho Julia , Hauser-Davis Rachel Ann
Published: November 2023

The production and disposal of plastic material has increased exponentially in recent decades. As a result, microplastics resulting from plastic degradation processes are now present in all environmental compartments, in particular, aquatic ecosystems. These microparticles can interact with different chemical pollutants, representing a significant risk to living organisms. In this context, the present study aimed to assess microplastics as chemical pollutant vectors in aquatic ecosystems, evaluating adsorption processes between these particles and both organic and inorganic pollutants. To this end, a scienciometric review was carried out, retrieving a total of 56 scientific articles. The retrieved studies indicate microplastic particles are capable of associating with different environmental chemical contaminants and that interactions depends on abiotic factors such as pH, salinity, light and temperature, the type of polymeric material and its aging characteristics and, finally, the organic matter adhered to the particle. Further studies on this topic are required to understand potential deleterious effects on aquatic biota due to microplastic-adsorbed chemical pollutants and establish measures capable of reducing and controlling these pollutants.

Published: November 2023

While agriculture is a major source of employment, it is notable that youths in developing countries are unemployed, yet the countries’ economies are dependent on it. Though there are immense prospects in the agricultural sector in Kenya, agriculture is taught in schools as an optional subject under the 8-4-4 syllabus so that it may stimulate youths’ participation in agriculture and improve productivity. In the current competency-based curriculum, agriculture is taught in upper primary and junior secondary to enhance competence through practical and experiential activities, thereby nurturing learners' potential. Despite the above facts, there is a limited selection of agriculture courses for career development among students in tertiary institutions. This is a cause for concern since Kenya requires human resources to drive the agricultural sector. The purpose of this study was to establish the existing trends in the selection of agriculture subjects among secondary students in different categories of schools. The specific objective was to establish the selection trends in agriculture subjects among students in secondary schools in Kakamega and Bungoma counties, Kenya, from 2016 to 2021. The study critically reviewed theories and literature to determine their gaps and sought to address the same, thereby making contributions both to the body of knowledge and practice. A descriptive design was employed. The sample size was determined from the Yamane tables of sample size (1967). One hundred and sixty-two (162) secondary schools were selected, out of 839 proportionately. A total of 249 secondary school students were sampled proportionately out of 7379 respondents. Key informants were selected purposefully. Both qualitative and quantitative data was collected using document content guides, questionnaires, and interview guides. Both descriptive and inferential techniques were employed to analyze the data, which was presented using frequency tables and graphs. Multiple comparison table results revealed the years that differed in agriculture selection for the 5 different categories of schools. A significant factor contributing to the variance in selection was the change in type of school. In general, analysis shows that private schools have the lowest mean of selection of agriculture students, causing a low combined mean in all the years of study. The combined mean of agriculture subject selection in the five categories of schools has shown a consistent increase from the year 2016 to 2021. It is necessary for the ministry of education to increase extra-county schools, county schools, and sub-county schools in order to realize significant selection means in agriculture, which ensures a basis for agriculture career development in Kenya.
Strength in the Face of Adversity: Perseverance and Resilience of Racialized Staff in the Homeless Sector During COVID-19
Authors: Wilkinson Ashley , Jones Alana , Waegemakers Schiff Jeannette
Published: November 2023

The emotional toll that individuals experience while working in the homeless sector ranges from traumatic stress and burnout to depression and decreased job satisfaction. Recent evidence highlights significant levels of post-traumatic stress symptoms among homeless service providers in some regions of Canada, which are higher than those reported prior to the Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study seeks to examine the impact of gender and ethnicity on work-related stressors among frontline staff in the homeless sector. Utilizing data from a survey on mental health stressors and needs completed by a robust sample of 566 frontline workers in the homeless sector across Canada, we investigate traumatic stress, burnout, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), compassion satisfaction, and resilience between three key staff groups including Black, non-Black racialized, and Caucasian. Quantitative analysis revealed key themes related to 1) workplace traumatic experiences reported, 2) lived experience of homelessness, 3) lifetime traumatic events, 4) rates of traumatic stress symptoms, and 5) PTSD scores. Overall, Black staff demonstrated significantly fewer traumatic symptoms and lower burnout, and fewer on-the-job traumatic events, while non-Black racialized persons report slightly higher traumatic stress, burnout, and traumatic events, including traumatic experiences reported on the job. Non-Black racialized staff also report the highest PTSD Checklist (PCL) scores, indicating qualification for PTSD diagnosis. Caucasian staff reported the highest levels of lifetime traumatic events, traumatic events on the job, and burnout. Overall, racialized staff demonstrated lower levels of traumatic stress, and greater overall perseverance and resilience compared to their Caucasian counterparts. While areas such as coping practices and race-specific differences require additional research, the implications of this study can be used to inform institutional and organizational change and address mental health needs for racialized staff within homeless-serving organizations.

Zasoby archiwalne Sakramentek Warszawskich uległy zniszczeniu w czasie wojny w 1944 roku. Zachował się jedynie katalog zbiorów. Jest tak szczegółowy, że można było uzyskać przynajmniej ogólne pojęcie o utraconym materiale. Ostatnio jednak odnaleziono dwa rejestry rachunkowe obejmujące okres od 1774 r. do 1836 r. Są napisane w języku francuskim (Sakramentki pochodzą pierwotnie z Francji). Zapisy dochodów i wydatków sporządzone przez siostrę depozytariuszkę mogą posłużyć m.in. jako źródło do rekonstrukcji historii szkoły klasztornej. Imiona dziewcząt, wpisane w momencie uiszczania opłat, dają nam wyobrażenie o tym środowiska geograficzne i społeczne, z których szkoła rekrutowała swoich wychowanków i na które z kolei musiał mieć wpływ powrót na wyspę kobiet, których umysły i postawy zostały ukształtowane przez edukację, jaką otrzymały w szkole klasztornej. Do starego szablonu edukacyjnego, który obejmował czytanie, pisanie, katechizm, prostą arytmetykę, muzykę, język francuski i haftowanie, szybko dodawane były nowe przedmioty. Były to historia, geografia, literatura, języki obce, kaligrafia i historia naturalna. Można także zauważyć reakcję kadry zakonnej na wprowadzenie kontroli państwowej i obowiązek zatrudniania nauczycieli świeckich. Siostry starały się zdać niezbędne egzaminy, aby móc uczyć jak najwięcej nowych przedmiotów.

“I Felt like I Was Losing Every Day”
Authors: Smith Julia
Published: November 2023

The covid-19 pandemic severely disrupted the education system in Canada from March 2020 throughout the 2020–21 school year. It also had disproportionate secondary effects on women in terms of unpaid care, economic loss, and poor mental health. This article explores the lived experience of women educators in the province of Alberta, drawing on interviews and focus groups with 39 educators. Findings indicate that the pandemic not only exacerbated the triple burden that women educators, in particular, bear but added additional layers of responsibility related to public health management, educating children at home, elder care responsibilities, and emotional labour. The essential role women educators fulfilled within the covid-19 response, at work and at home, cost them time, professional development opportunities, mental wellness, and the positive rewards that had drawn them to the educational field. Current concerns around educator burnout and retention may be mitigated by acting on the recommendations of women educators regarding the development of more equitable education systems and social policy.
The Origins and Application of the “Core of Indianness” in Indigenous Labour Relations

Published: November 2023

This article examines the history of, and legal precedent set by, Four B Manufacturing v. United Garment Workers of America, a 1980 Supreme Court of Canada case involving an Indigenous-owned manufacturing firm that resisted the efforts of its Indigenous and non-Indigenous workers to form a union on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, a reserve in southeastern Ontario. The employer, Four B, contested the jurisdiction of the Ontario Labour Relations Board and argued, unsuccessfully, that as an “Indian enterprise,” its own operations were a matter of federal jurisdiction. We return to the case of Four B for three interrelated reasons. First, we argue that Four B remains relevant because of the ways that the political economy of settler-colonial Canada continues to structure Indigenous enterprises, labour, and employment as ongoing sites of tension. Second, as the inaugural case dealing with the “core of Indianness” – a contested legal concept used by the courts to determine federal jurisdiction over Indigenous labour – this case both set the legal precedent and shaped the subsequent political terrain of Indigenous labour relations. Third, the issues addressed in Four B contextualize recent jurisdictional struggles over Indigenous enterprises, labour, and employment in what we term the “Indigenous public sector” – namely, health care, social services, and First Nations government administration. The article reviews the case history of Four B, setting this against the backdrop of deindustrialization in southeastern Ontario during the period, before tracing how the case influenced the juridical and political landscape of Indigenous labour relations. We close by considering the potential tensions between Indigenous self-determination and the exercise of collective bargaining rights by Indigenous workers.

The Agboyi River in Lagos, Nigeria provides important ecosystem services; however, anthropogenic activities are polluting the river, necessitating periodic monitoring. This study assessed the heavy metal content (lead, cadmium, chromium, copper, and arsenic) in water samples from the river. Additionally, we evaluated various physicochemical parameters, including pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), conductivity, hardness, magnesium, calcium, chloride, sulfate, and nitrate. The values of each heavy metal were used to calculate human average daily ingestion (ADI), average daily dermal exposure (ADDE), hazard quotient (HQ), and carcinogenic risk (CR). The physicochemical analysis revealed non-permissible levels of TDS, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, hardness, magnesium, calcium, sulfate, nitrate, chloride, and phosphate. The heavy metal analysis showed intolerable levels of lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and copper. The ADIs for the heavy metals were within the recommended dietary intake (RDI), but their ADDEs exceeded the RDI, except for chromium. The HQ and CR for all heavy metals exceeded recommended limits. Seasonal variations were observed in the physicochemical parameters, with TDS, turbidity, acidity, nitrate, and phosphate being higher in the wet season, while other parameters were higher in the dry season. The water poses health hazards to users, indicating the need for river remediation.

Postpartum anxiety and depression are a significant public health concern as it is the leading cause of maternal morbidity. It is associated with adverse effects on the cognitive and social development of the infant. The primary aim of the study is to find postpartum depression and anxiety as a community-based study on risk factors before, during, and after pregnancy. The prospective cohort study was conducted in Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar from April 2023 to July 2023. A total of 320 pregnant women were recruited for this study. Participants were enrolled during their antenatal visits to healthcare facilities within the community, ensuring representation across diverse demographic and socio-economic backgrounds. Data collection for this community-based study on postpartum depression and anxiety was executed meticulously across three distinct phases: before, during, and after pregnancy. Data was collected from 320 pregnant females. The mean age of participants was 28.5±4.2 years. Most participants had at least a high school education (65%) and reported a moderate household income (55%). 18% of participants had a history of previous episodes of depression or anxiety. 35% reported experiencing significant life stressors before pregnancy, with financial concerns being the most common (62%). 24% had a family history of mental health disorders. It is concluded that this study has revealed a significant prevalence of postpartum depression (22%) and anxiety (18%) among participants. The identified risk factors, including prior mental health history and high prenatal stress, emphasize the need for early intervention and targeted support systems during the perinatal period.

Creative Capacity (RCC) is a dynamic research topic that integrates authentic creativity, indigenous knowledge, innovation, entrepreneurship, and networking. RCC is a valuable tool for regional policy makers to achieve economic growth, tourism development, and social cohesion in peripheral areas. Cultural Associations, especially in remote areas, serve as “authentic organizations” related to local culture and traditions that support regional uniqueness, identity, and authenticity, and foster creative capacity through various cultural activities (non-typical museums, local cultural events and festivals, revival of customs, rituals, gastronomy, craft etc.). Nowadays, tourists are increasingly seeking “authentic” cultural tourism experiences that require active participation and co-creation in the community’s customs and manifestations. Therefore, cultural associations can be examined within the broader perspective of creative tourism. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the dynamics of cultural associations can function as a mechanism to encourage creative tourism in peripheral communities, using four creativity criteria: people, process, product, and environment. The study also aims to examine networking opportunities of cultural associations based on three criteria: administrative, spatial and functional, and to propose novel local creative tourism networks. The qualitative research method employed is a case study approach with structured observation, document analysis, and in-depth interviews with nineteen Cultural Associations in the Regional Unit of Rodopi in Northern Greece. Research findings reveal a strong potential for the development of creative tourism in the broader area with highlighted perspectives and options for further action, while emphasizing the need for networking of cultural associations.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly being used construction projects, and it demonstrates its ability to improve the construction industry's performance, However, its application in facility management still moderate and has not yet reached the potential and expected full use. The most common problem facing facility managers is the ability to access and manage the information. Information is the key to operate existing buildings and most importantly is the ability to collect, analyze, and handle it in an appropriate manner to be used for the facility management phase and the entire building life. However, there is insufficient understanding of the correct standards, processes and policies to be followed in the submission and management of such data, a significant lack of professionals and lack of knowledge of their software. This study aims to explore the value of BIM and the challenges affecting its application in FM, as well as address the information required for effective facilities management in existing buildings and the challenges to maintain a continuous update of BIM information in FM. The research methodology is based on analytical method: Using a questionnaire to a sample of staff and engineers in facilities management to detect the effects of applying BIM to facility management. The research demonstrated the importance of creating a BIM model for existing buildings and its effects to improve operations and maintenance, the need to increase BIM practices in engineering organizations. and indicated the most important benefits of the BIM for facility management application as: increase the efficiency of operation and maintenance staff's access to data, improve future operation design and preventive maintenance, facilitate decision-making throughout the operation and maintenance phase, and finally reduce costs and time while increase the quality of procedures.

Authors: Koshlaf M. I. A. , Adullatif K. L.
Published: November 2023

Monte Carlo (MC) radiotherapy treatment planning has become practical in medical physics, particularly with the rapid development of computer technology. Requires detailed knowledge of linear medical accelerators (Linacs) beam radiation. In the present work the basic dosimetric properties of the 6-MV photon beam and the Varian Clinic 600CLinac were examined. The dosimetric features of interest are, the absorbed dose from the central axis, beam profiles, photon blockers, electron and positron, mean energy, spectral distribution, and isodose curves. Varian Clinic 600C Linac is simulated using the OMEGA BEAMnrc MC code system. Detailed spectra of phase space profiles of a photon beam with a field of view of 10 cm × 10 cm were modeled, simulated and finally analyzed using BEAMdp. The central axis depth dose curves, dose profiles and isodose curves for photon beams in the aqueous phantom were also recorded and analyzed using the DOSXYZnrc, STATDOSE and DOSXYZ_SHOW code. This study demonstrates that MC can generate phase space data files that can be used to generate accurate MC dose distributions for photon beams produced using a high-powered clinical linear accelerator in a water phantom or in patients for radiotherapy.
Protection of trade union rights in Nigeria: Lessons from other jurisdictions
Authors: Nwabuko Nnadozie Chile
Published: November 2023

The Constitution gives Nigerian workers the inalienable right to form or join a trade union for the protection of their employment interests at the workplace. International instruments recognize this right. The International Labour Organization (ILO) in its Freedom of Association and the Protection of the Right to Organize Convention No. 87 of 1948 recognized the right to organize and the right to strike as core trade union rights. In spite of these provisions, trade unions in Nigeria have continued to suffer mistreatment and violation of their rights by government and its agencies, which includes unfair labour practices. This paper examined the protection of trade union rights in Nigeria, specifically the right to organize and the right to strike. It also examined the factors militating against the protection of these rights. The paper drew lessons from other jurisdictions and found that the high threshold required for the formation of a trade union is contrary to ILO standards and that there is no positive right to strike in Nigeria. It further found that the wide definition of essential service by the Nigerian law denies many workers the right to strike. The paper recommends, among others, legislative reforms by amending the Constitution and the Trade Union Act to provide for the right to strike and reduce the number of persons required to register a trade union from 50 to 10 respectively.

The primary focus of this qualitative research is to examine the implementation of professional zakat for Civil Servants (ASN) in Sinjai Regency from the perspective of Maqāṣid Al-Syarī’ah, with BAZNAS as a case study. The research breaks down this central inquiry into specific sub-problems, aiming to analyze the alignment of Maqāṣid Al-Syarī’ah principles with the execution of professional zakat for ASN in Sinjai Regency. Data for the study is primarily sourced from key individuals, including the Chairperson and Vice Chairpersons of BAZNAS in Sinjai Regency, zakat payers, the Head of Zakat and Waqf Implementation at the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Sinjai Regency, the Head of the Regional Finance and Asset Agency, and the Head of the Regional Personnel and Human Resource Development Agency in Sinjai Regency. Data is collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and the analysis is structured into stages of data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research reveals that professional zakat management for ASN by BAZNAS in Sinjai Regency is conducted even without clear local regulations, in coordination with various government entities. The distribution and utilization of zakat adhere to five programs, yet its alignment with Maqāṣid Al-Syarī’ah is hindered by various obstacles in its application for civil servants in Sinjai Regency.

Stunting growth among children is one of the imperative health concerns for the global world. The paper measured the relationship of maternal, paternal, and communal factors with children’s stunting growth in Pakistan. The study used the Pakistan Demographic Health Survey (PDHS) and analyzed with the help of statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS Version-21). The unit of analysis was stunted children, and the sample size was (n=7448). The univariate and bivariate statistical analyses were employed by using the Chi-square test. The results of the study found that maternal, paternal, and communal factors have an association with children’s stunting growth. For example, specifically, child stunting growth is related to birth interval, low birth weight, mother education, incomplete immunization status, and poor wealth index. The study concluded that chances of child stunting increased with the help of maternal, paternal, and communal factors. The incomplete immunization status is associated with children’s stunting growth. The study recommended that the issues of birth interval, low birth weight, mother education, incomplete immunization, and poor wealth index should be the focus of the policymakers to control children’s stunting growth.

Authors: Nascimento Tábita Cristina Modesto , Ferreira Benedito de Jesus Pinheiro
Published: November 2023

O conceito de cultura vem ao longo dos anos, assumindo variados sentidos, mas será assumida nesta produção a compreensão dialética de cultura. O artigo busca analisar a importância da compreensão desse conceito para o processo de desenvolvimento da criança na alfabetização. Utilizaram-se de autores que no âmbito das teorias da educação, têm como base o marxismo. Apresenta-se, como síntese, que os desvelamentos do processo de alfabetização de crianças e sua relação com os processos histórico-culturais são importantes para a tomada de decisão de professores compromissados com o processo de alfabetização e com o ensino que garanta a orientação da criança na tomada de consciência sobre a realidade e, gradativamente, sobre seu aprendizado.

Published: November 2023

Pretendeu-se com o estudo analisar as produções de três anos (2017 a 2020) na base de dados da Capes que versam sobre políticas de currículo de Educação Física.  A pesquisa caracteriza-se bibliográfica e trata-se de uma revisão integrativa. Foram selecionados 9 artigos publicados em revistas com Qualis A1, A2, B1 dos três anos citados. Foi possível, pelas análises, identificar que os trabalhos sobre políticas curriculares versam sobre os seguintes temas: BNCC, o Plano Nacional de Educação, Medida Provisória nº 746, sobre vinte anos das políticas nacionais em Educação Física e o predomínio epistemológico da Psicologia numa proposta curricular de Educação Física. Os dados evidenciam que os artigos têm como vertentes teóricas os pressupostos críticos e pós-críticos de currículo, e que contraditoriamente as normativas oficiais das políticas de currículo têm como base as teorias tradicionais. Consideramos que as políticas curriculares de Educação Física e os motivos que o campo epistemológico das teorias tradicionais são predominantes, e mesmo que exista uma forte resistência das teorias críticas e pós-críticas, demonstrado pelos estudos, são espaços pouco cobertos pelas pesquisas no período de tempo entre 2017 a 2020.

A hanseníase é uma doença infectocontagiosa crônica de importância histórica, provocada pelo Mycobacterium leprae. É um problema de saúde pública mundial e nacional, sendo que Brasil ocupa o 2º lugar o ranking internacional. As manifestações clínicas mais predominantes, quando evidenciadas, são as lesões de pele com sensibilidade diminuída e nervos subcutâneos espessado de evolução lenta e progressiva. O período de incubação da bactéria varia de três a cinco anos e pode resultar em danos progressivos. Seu principal problema está relacionado ao diagnóstico tardio, em que o paciente apresenta sequelas neurológicas permanentes e consequências sociais importantes, discriminação e estigmatização. O conhecimento e habilidade técnica do médico em aplicar o exame físico é fator determinante no desfecho diagnóstico. O tratamento tem como base a Poliquimioterapia, que consiste na combinação de antibióticos administrados de forma criteriosa por um período previamente determinado de acordo com protocolos da OMS.
