Os modelos isotérmicos apresentam dificuldades no desenvolvimento e interpretação dos resultados, seja no contexto do ensino de físico-química e/ou na pesquisa. As análises dos dados do modelo apresentam certo grau de complexidade, sendo na maioria das vezes realizadas por calculadoras ou softwares pagos. Nessa perspectiva, foi desenvolvido o software Gurupi Isotherms Plot (GIP), com o objetivo de auxiliar professores e pesquisadores sendo uma ferramenta gratuita e eficiente para realizar análises de modelos de adsorção isotérmica. O software GIP foi aplicado como metodologia ativa para o ensino de físico-química por meio de um minicurso, do qual participaram alunos de graduação e pós-graduação. Os resultados avaliaram que 91% dos participantes possuem em sua grade curricular as disciplinas de Física – Química; que apenas 55% dos alunos tiveram contato com metodologias ativas e poucos softwares foram utilizados no ensino aprendizagem. Os resultados também mostraram que 72% avaliaram o GIP como excelente e 97% avaliaram seu uso como positivo em relação às técnicas clássicas de resolução de exercícios. Por fim, com este trabalho foi possível verificar que 100% aprovaram a utilização do software como recurso didático e assim validar que novas formas de ensino devem ser utilizadas constantemente.

Cast analysis – floodings in Piracicaba, Brazil (summer 2020)
Authors: Almeida Madison Coelho de , Katayama Ricardo Akio , Hirano Carlos Alberto Mitio , Andrade Delvonei Alves de
Published: March 2024

There have been several flood events in our country, notably in the Southeast Region, in the last decades, where the public management faces natural causes, such as storms with heavy rains and winds, causing landslides, flooding in urban centers and, consequently, losses. According to Leveson (2019, p. 34):  CAST (Causal Analysis Based on Systems Theory) is a structured technique to analyse accident causality from a systems perspective. CAST is an analysis method, not an investigation technique. But performing the CAST analysis as the investigation proceeds will assist in identifying what questions need to be answered and what information needs to be gathered during the investigation in order to create a comprehensive explanation as to why the loss occurred and to help formulate recommendations to prevent related accidents in the future. The CAST, as an approach after the occurrence, links to STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis) methodology (prior to the accident). This aims to analyse an event – which may or may not result in an accident – the way that its parts, acting systemically, can be studied, reaching the confrontation of the insecure condition(s) through effective actions. The /CAST methodology was herein applied to the event “Floods in the summer of 2020 in Piracicaba/SP”. This event provides analysis completeness, according to this model. Several intervening factors are sought in this study; the accident considered here are the floods that generated material losses in the city: e.g. destroyed buildings, streets and houses flooded, leading to losses.
The relationship between workload and mental health of university teachers in Kosovo
Authors: Sabedini Hekuran , Ceka Dritan
Published: March 2024

Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationship between job stress and mental health among university teachers in Kosovo. The research focuses on teachers aged 29-60 working in various universities within Kosovo aiming to contribute valuable insights into the impact of job-related stress on the mental well-being of this specific demographic.

Design/Methodology/Approach: A   sample of 100 teachers from six different high schools in Kosovo was used to collect the data.  46% of the teachers were female and 54% were male.  A paper-and-pencil survey was administered using purposive sampling techniques. Statistical analyses including descriptive statistics and Spearman's analysis were performed using SPSS to investigate non-parametric relationships. The research instrument demonstrated appropriate psychometric values ensuring the reliability and validity of the collected data.

Findings: The results revealed a positive relationship between job stress, anxiety and depression levels, although relatively weak. The relationship between overall stress levels and job stress was shown to be more significant.  These findings suggest that higher job stress is associated with elevated stress levels among teachers emphasizing the interconnectedness of professional stressors and mental health.

Conclusion: This research underscores the importance of understanding and addressing the relationship between job stress and mental health among university teachers in Kosovo. The relatively weak correlation between job stress and anxiety or depression levels implies nuanced influences while the stronger correlation with overall stress levels emphasizes the need for targeted strategies to manage job-related stress. Recognizing and managing these stressors can contribute to the enhancement of teachers' mental health and overall well-being in the specific context of Kosovo.

Authors: Ikhsan Arfan , Muda Iskandar , Masatip Anwari , Julvirta Enos
Published: March 2024

Purpose: Audit delays reflect the timeliness of financial reporting. The lack of financial reports when required can render important information irrelevant.   Shorter audit delays allow investors to make decisions more quickly   which makes the information more valuable to them. This research aims to analyze the influence of auditor switching (AS), financial distress (FD), public accounting firm (PAF) reputation and the COVID-19 pandemic on AD.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The population of research includes all firms in the financial sector listed on IDX for 2019-2022. This research uses purposive sampling where the samples are determined based on the researcher's objectives. There were 176 companies selected as samples for each year of observation.

Findings and Conclusion: The data are analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the results of the test, AD is positively influenced by FD, AS has no effect on AD and AD is negatively impacted by PAF reputation.  Furthermore, there is a significant difference in AD before and during the COVID-19 pandemic with audit delays being longer during the pandemic.

Research Limitations/Implications: It is recommended to retest variables that have no effect on the study and include additional independent variables that may have an impact on audit completion performance to obtain a better understanding of why AD still exists in Indonesia for future research.
Diagnostic accuracy of CHA2DS2-Vasc score to predict the risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with atrial fibrillation
Authors: Shoaib Hurmah , Sehar Sana , Hamza Syed Ali , Khosa Mahrukh Mansoor , Nasir Ali , Mobasher Fizza
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: Patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation patients are much more likely to die suddenly than those without the condition (SCD). For those with an atrial fibrillation diagnosis, the CHA2DS2-WASc score can be used to determine the likelihood of unanticipated cardiac death. The goal of the current study was to determine how well the CHA2DS2-VASC score worked in predicting the chance of unexpected cardiac death in atrial fibrillation patients. The objective of this research was to study the diagnostic precision of the CHA2DS2-VASC score in estimating the likelihood of unanticipated cardiac death in patients with atrial fibrillation.

METHODOLOGY: The study was conducted within six months i.e. from 11th February 2020 till 10th August 2020. Hospital record of 251 patients was taken who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Demographic details, ECG findings and risk factors were noted down from the record of the patients. CHA2DS2-VASc score was calculated and was subjected to statistical analysis.

RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 59.37±10.866, mean CHA2DS2-VASc score was 3.35±2.938. There were 61.8% males and 38.2% females. The sudden cardiac death was present in 26.3% of the patients with atrial fibrillation. The results showed that age, gender, socioeconomic status, diabetes, hypertension, previous history of stroke and BMI were significantly associated with sudden cardiac death as indicated by a p-value of <0.05. CHA2DS2-VASc score had a sensitivity of 77.2%, specificity of 81%, positive predictive value of 58.7%, negative predictive value 90.9% and a diagnostic accuracy of 79.7% for predicting risk of sudden cardiac death.

CONCLUSION: The diagnostic accuracy of the CHA2DS2-VASc score was 79.7% among patients having atrial fibrillation for predicting sudden cardiac death, making it an effective predictor.
Prevalence and pattern of iron deficiency and its correlation with different hematological parameters in a segment of patients coming to a tertiary care hospital in Lahore
Authors: Imran Ambereen Anwar Imran , Farzand Sadaf Farzand , Huzaifa Muhammad Ali Huzaifa , Naseem Maham Naseem
Published: March 2024

Background: Iron is an essential micronutrient, abundantly present in nature. Very low quantities of iron are required in our daily diet to prevent its deficiency. But paradoxically, its deficiency is very common all around the world. In keeping with its wide and varied functions in the body, the deficiency of iron also has multiple manifestations. This study aimed to study the prevalence and pattern of iron deficiency in a segment of our population. The effect on various hematological parameters was also studied.

Materials and Methods: Fifty cases including both genders and all ages were included in the study. The parameters analyzed were iron status and hematological indices. The status of serum iron levels was compared with total iron binding capacity (TIBC). Blood examination included total leukocyte count, differential leukocyte count, hemoglobin level, total RBC count, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and platelet count. The correlation of serum iron levels with the different hematological indices was analyzed.

Results: Iron deficiency was even more prevalent than previously reported (70%). It was seen in both genders and all age groups. Only the elderly male group showed a mean that was in the normal range. Females were affected more severely than males in all age groups. Red cell indices showed expected correlation with serum iron levels. Platelet counts showed an increase with falling iron levels.

Discussion: Iron deficiency continues to be rampant despite decades of public health measures to correct it. Iron deficiency anemia impacts multiple body functions with a myriad of health consequences. The ensuing symptoms are those classically related to anemia as well as some that are both unexpected and hard to explain. Increase in platelet count seen in iron deficiency carries the risk of creation of a thrombogenic state. The factors contributing to iron deficiency need to be identified and addressed.

Key words: Serum iron levels, Complete Blood Count, iron deficiency, platelet count.
Predictors of Side Branch Obstruction Following Stenting of the Main Vessel in Coronary Bifurcation Lesions
Authors: Akbar Masood Ali Akbar , Asghar Mubeen Asghar , Asghar Momna Asghar , Asghar Mohsin Asghar , Asghar Muhammad Asghar , Munir Salman Munir
Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of bifurcation lesions is complicated by the presence of side branch blockage, which contributes to a low procedural success rate and an elevated rate of adverse cardiac events. A shift in the position of the carina and plaque buildup have been proposed as possible causes of SB occlusion. 1,2 It is estimated that between 15-20% of PCI procedures are done to address lesions at coronary bifurcations.3-5 Multiple randomized clinical trials have concluded that an interim stenting procedure should be used for routine bifurcation stenting. 6-11

AIM AND OBJECTIVE: To assess the predictors of side branch obstruction following stenting of the main vessel in coronary bifurcation lesions.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Total 300 patients were enrolled with coronary bifurcation lesions who were undergoing PCI and had at least one major SB. Major SB definition was the same as what had been found in other studies: diameter ?2.0mm. Patients with SB stenting before MV stenting, LMS disease, or in-stent restenosis were excluded. Using quantitative coronary analysis (QCA) software, all of the baseline and procedure characteristics were analyzed. The Student's t-test was used to compare continuous data. A p-value < 0.05 was considered significant.

RESULTS: Out of 300 patients, side branch blockage was found in 23 (7.6%) of the patients. The patients were distributed into two groups based on whether they had SB occlusion (SBO) or not. Mean age (years) in the study was 50.36+12.54 in SBO group and 50+30.34 in no-side-branch occlusion (NSBO) group. There were 19(82%) male and 4(18%) female patients in SBO group and 215(77%)male and 62(23%) female in NSBO group. Diameter stenosis of side branch before MV stenting (55%+20 vs30+25%), side branch diameter (2.1+0.3 vs2.2+0.2), bifurcation angle (70+20degree vs 45+22 degree, p=<0.01) and lower TIMI flow in side branch were found significant predictors of major side branch occlusion.

CONCLUSION: The bifurcation angle, diameter stenosis of the SB, side branch diameter before to main vessel stenting, and TIMI flow grade of the SB prior to MV stenting were all predictive of severe SB occlusion following MV stenting. As a result, these criteria should be considered when designing PCI for bifurcation lesions in order to increase procedure success.

KEYWORDS: Side branch obstruction, stenting, coronary bifurcation lesions.
THE EFFECT OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS ON PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH AND FORMATION OF REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES IN THE EPIDERMIS OF PEA LEAVES

Published: March 2024

Neurotransmitters are found not only in animals, but also in other living organisms, including plants. They are found in other living organisms, including plants. However, the data on the functions of these compounds in the plant world are far from being comprehensive. In particular, the issue concerning their impact on plant cell death still awaits further research. In the present work, the effects of neurotransmitters on programmed cell death and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants were tested. Programmed cell death was estimated from the destruction of cell nuclei, and ROS was determined using 2ʹ,7ʹ-dichlorofluorescein. Dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, histamine, acetylcholine and its synthetic analog acetylthiocholine were used. The catecholamines dopamine and norepinephrine at concentrations of 0.01-1 mM suppressed the destruction of guard cell nuclei in the epidermis of pea leaves, which was caused by KCN. Serotonin and acetylcholine at a concentration of 1-3 mM, on the contrary, increased the destruction of nuclei that was induced by KCN. Histamine and acetylthiocholine had no effect on KCN-dependent destruction of nuclei at concentrations of 0.01-3 mM. Acetylthiocholine at a concentration of 3 mM, in contrast to natural neurotransmitters, caused the destruction of guard cell nuclei in the absence of KCN. Dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin reduced the formation of ROS in the epidermis of pea leaves, which was induced by menadione. Histamine, acetylcholine and acetylthiocholine did not have a similar effect. The results demonstrate that dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin have antioxidant properties in plants. In addition, dopamine and norepinephrine can prevent cell death.
INVOLVEMENT OF MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASES P38 AND ERK1/2 AS WELL AS PROTEIN KINASE B AKT1/2 IN THE FORMATION OF NEUTROPHIL EXTRACELLULAR TRAPS
Authors: VOROBJEVA N.V.
Published: March 2024

Neutrophils release decondensed nuclear chromatin or Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) in response to a great number of physiological stimuli to protect the host from pathogens. However, NETs have recently been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune, infl ammatory, and malignant diseases. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying NETs formation, usually leading to the neutrophil death (NETosis), is extremely important to control the aberrant release of chromatin. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAP-kinases) are involved in various cellular functions such as oxidative burst, chemotaxis, degranulation, adhesion, and apoptosis, but their role in NETosis is not well understood. Three families of MAP-kinases, p38, ERK1/2, and JNK, have been described in human neutrophils, and we investigated the contribution of p38, ERK1/2, and protein kinase B Akt1/2 in oxidative burst and NETosis using inhibitory analysis. We have shown that MAPkinase p38 as well as protein kinase B Akt1/2 are activated upon stimulation of oxidative burst and NETosis with calcium ionophore ionomycin. However, these kinases are not involved in the oxidative burst induced by diacylglycerol mimetic phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) but are involved in PMA-induced NETosis.
DRUGS WITH SENOLYTIC ACTIVITY: PROSPECTS AND POSSIBLE LIMITATIONS
Authors: MORGUNOVA G.V. , KHOKHLOV A.N.
Published: March 2024

The search and testing of drugs with senolytic activity is one of the new directions in gerontology. The number of “senescent” cells that increases with age contributes to the development of age-related diseases and chronic non-infectious inflammation. Removing “senescent” cells or suppressing their influence on surrounding tissues seems a logical step to improve the quality of life and, possibly, prolong lifespan. However, drugs that have senolytic and senomorphic activity in model systems cause the development of a number of side effects in clinical trials. In this review, we consider the main advances in the field of senotherapy, the prospects for the use of senotherapy drugs, and the limitations that researchers and clinicians may encounter.

We studied the eff ect of stevia leaf extract, saccharinate and cyclamate in various dosages on the glycogen content of blood leukocytes in mice, as a necessary substrate for the realization of phagocytosis. An increase of glycogen content was found in all experimental groups which obtained sweeteners at a dosage of 10 mg/g of body weight. The eff ect of sweeteners on the diff erential leukocyte counts was found only for mice treated with stevia leaf extract at a dosage of 10 mg/g of body weight. They demonstrated increase of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. New data expand our understanding of the metabolism of sugar substitutes in the organism and their eff ect on physiological systems, in particular the hematopoietic and immune systems.
“Necesidad y oportunidad” como motivaciones para el emprendimiento femenino en Latinoamérica
Authors: Aguilar-Rosado Natalia , Campos-Sánchez Alejandro
Published: March 2024

Contexto. Iniciar un negocio es una acción intrínseca tanto para cualquier ser humano sin importar su sexo; no obstante, lo que recorren las mujeres difiere considerablemente por diversas razones.

Problema. A pesar de la creciente tendencia de la participación de mujeres en el campo del emprendimiento, aún se identifican en las estadísticas plasmadas en distintos reportes, elementos que inhiben el emprendimiento femenino en México y Latinoamérica, o que al menos inciden en las motivaciones para realizar la actividad emprendedora.

Objetivo. Identificar las motivaciones que llevan a la mujer latinoamericana, en particular la mexicana, a emprender, analizando la situación actual en el ámbito social y económico de las mujeres, abordando temas como el desempleo, la disparidad salarial y la discriminación.

Metodología. Se emplea una metodología mixta; una revisión de literatura acompañada de análisis estadísticos descriptivo e inferencial. Mediante una revisión de literatura y una selección de datos estadísticos se analiza el tema del emprendimiento femenino en Latinoamérica. Se consultaron informes disponibles de distintas organizaciones e iniciativas como, el GEM, u organismos e instituciones como el INEGI o CEPAL, e incluso reportes de organismos particulares como Statista, así también, artículos de diversos autores referentes en el tema. Finalmente, se realiza una discusión y se llega a conclusiones.

Hallazgos Teóricos y Prácticos. Se presentan datos estadísticos reveladores sobre las brechas entre mujeres y hombres en aspectos como la ocupación de puestos directivos, la tasa de empleabilidad y se demuestra mediante un análisis de la t de student que, en un lapso de 5 años, de 2018 a 2023, no se ha logrado reducir de manera significativa la brecha salarial, siendo este una de las principales motivaciones emprendedoras para las mujeres.

Originalidad desde el punto de vista transdisciplinar y de innovación sostenible. Existen escasas investigaciones dentro del ámbito del emprendimiento femenino en América Latina que examinen motivaciones individuales. Este enfoque puede contribuir a la creación o establecimiento de políticas públicas o institucionales destinadas a fomentar el emprendimiento femenino.

Conclusiones y limitaciones. La revisión de literatura realizada respalda la noción de que el emprendimiento realizado por mujeres surge más por necesidad que por el reconocimiento de facto de oportunidad. Este trabajo analiza información de diferentes fuentes, una limitante al momento de analizar un valor en específico, por lo cual, se recomienda a futuro un estudio cuantitativo a profundidad.

Strengthening the Research Culture of Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Defensor Nenalyn P.
Published: March 2024

Fifteen years ago, the Congressional Commission on Education or more popularly known as EDCOM expressed dismay over the state of research in higher education in the Philippines. Since then, the Commission on Higher Education or CHED has formulated a blueprint through the National Higher Education Research Agenda (NHERA) for strengthening the research culture of higher education institutions not only in the Calabarzon area but also in the entire archipelago.
This 2007 Research Forum, which aims, among other things, to: first, disseminate new knowledge and discoveries in various fields of discipline; and second, provide a venue for scientific and scholarly discourse among academics and researchers, reflects what we, in the higher education sector, have collectively accomplished in nurturing research among higher education institutions (HEIs).
After more than a decade of advocacy, research expertise building and other development initiatives, the vital signs of higher education research now look promising. An increasing number of HEIs had been coming up with creditable research outputs, in trickles at first, then in appreciable numbers these last few years.
The theme of your conference, "strengthening the research culture of HEIs", is indeed a timely reminder for all of us that higher education is expected both to transmit and generate knowledge or new technology through research and to apply such knowledge and technology for enhancing productivity and improving the quality of life.

This research describes the effect of integrating the Intel Teach to the Future Pre-service Program in Education 4B1 (Principles and Strategies in Teaching Communication Arts) on selected Bachelor of Elementary Education students' literacy development and attitude towards teaching and learning.
The Intel Teach to the Future Pre-service Program trains students to develop a digital portfolio consisting of a well-planned unit that is aligned with the Basic Education Curriculum. Students create teacher and learners' support materials, samples of teacher and learners' outputs, evaluation tools, and a works cited document. The program makes use of instructional strategies that are student-centered and constructivist in approach. Authentic assessment is used to evaluate learning.
Pre-service teachers' literacy development and their attitude toward teaching and learning are drawn from five instruments, namely, the Intel Teach to the Future Faculty and Student Evaluation Forms, the Intel Teach to the Future Monitoring Form, the ICT and Technology Integration Skills Survey Form, and the teacher-made Intel Teach Program Evaluation Questionnaire.
Enhancement of literacy skills and attitude toward teaching and learning were manifested after the students' immersion in the program. Furthermore, it was uncovered that the technology curriculum provided pre-service teachers with opportunities to improve and acquire technological skills as well as to develop personal, social and professional competencies. Results of this research have important implications for enriching teacher preparation.

Kuatnya pemberdayaan etika yang unggul mencerminkan nama baik perusahaan. (Naranjo, 2014). Saat ini banyak pelaku bisnis yang hanya mementingkan tujuan guna mendapat keuntungan dengan menghalalkan banyak cara (Muhammad Saifullah, 2011) bahkan tak jarang mereka mengabaikan etika bisnis maupun tanaggung jawab sosial. Dalam islam umat muslim telah mengenal Nabi Muhammad SAW sebagai pelaku usaha yang sukses. Kesuksesan beliau tak terlepas dari keteladanan dan kebijaksanaan sebagai pelaku usaha sejati. Agar dalam pelaksanaannya selaras untuk menghasilkan kebermanfaatan, maka kita wajib untuk melaksanakan nilai-nilai etika bisnis (Hamzah et al., 2017). Dalam usaha meperoleh rizki yang halal merupakan sebuah kewajiban. Hal tersebut akan erdampak pada kehidupan sosial (Antonio, 2018). Hingga saat ini perkembangan ekonomi tak terlepas dari sejarah islam. Ekonomi merupakan bagian yang tak terpisah dari kegiatan manusia. (syahrizal, 2018). Dalam usaha apapun harus selalu diiringi dengan nilai-nilai ketuhanan serta apapun yang dilakukan harus bersumer dari sebuah mata air kehidupan atau biasa disebut dengan maqashid syariah.

Globally, the mango industry is one of the largest industrial sectors – also considered the backbone industry of the country’s agriculture sector. This sector mobilizes key industrial activities of many economies, such as agriculture, production, handling, storage, logistics, certification, and packing of a variety of mangoes (e.g., with over 1,500 varieties, of which at least 30 are grown commercially in Pakistan). From local, regional, and national, to international levels, many businesses in this sector are involved in extensive mango supply networks fulfilling the demands of many consumers and markets (e.g., B2B, B2C, etc.) locally worldwide. Currently, 43% of total farmers in Pakistan are smallholder farmers, as they possess less than 2.6 hectares of land. Intermediaries dominate the entire supply chain in Pakistan, due to which small to average farmers face several challenges. This can be avoided by developing a user-friendly system to link farmers directly to the market or consumers. The proposed system identifies the gaps in the process model of Pakistan’s mango supply chain system. It creates a platform to link farmers directly to the market or consumers through a seamless online system using blockchain technology for performing reliable transactions using smart contracts. The proposed system is implemented through Ethereum, a permissioned blockchain network using Smart Contracts. It is a distributed ledger accessible to participants of the supply chain with permission to ensure the trust and authenticity of the information. By using this system, the farmers will attain increased profit through direct access to retailers, consumers, and the international market.

Blended learning (BL) has gained popularity in English instruction due to its ability to improve students’ learning outcomes and motivation. This study investigated Yemeni EFL students’ perceptions of learning English and the impact of using BL on their attitudes toward English learning. The sample comprised 51 Yemeni EFL students who received instructions at Resalty Academy, and data was collected from them using a questionnaire. Findings highlighted the effectiveness of BL in improving English language learning. The outcome of the study support EFL teachers in Yemen in developing tailored programs to meet the specific needs of their students. Based on the findings, it is safe to argue that implementing BL strategy in English language instruction enhances EFL students' perceptions of BL usefulness and ease of use, potentially leading to increased engagement and motivation in learning. Teachers and institutions are encouraged to prioritize integrating the BL approach into English language curricula to improve the overall learning experience for EFL students.

This is a book review of the book, Reading the Visual: An Introduction to Teaching Multimodal Literacy by Frank Serafini. It is a 189-page book published in 2014 by Teachers College Press. It discusses the evolving concept of literacy in the age of multimodality. Organized into three parts and framed by a prologue and an epilogue, the book begins with an introduction that sets the stage for understanding the multimodal world and its relevance to educators. The first part lays a theoretical foundation for multimodality, guiding educators in their instructional approaches. The second part presents a practical framework for engaging with multimodal texts, highlighting the significance of picture books in literacy education and exploring how students can interact with various multimodal formats both as consumers and producers. The final part examines ten distinct types of multimodal ensembles, including diverse formats like picture books (postmodern, wordless, historical fiction, informational), illustrated novels, graphic novels, cartoons, comics, advertisements, news reports, films, and digital media. In the closure, a helpful glossary provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of multimodal configurations and visual meaning-making systems.
