Biodiversity loss poses a significant threat to global ecosystems, with human activities driving extinction at an increasing rate. Despite international agreements such as the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Biodiversity Strategy 2030, biodiversity continues to decline. Education about biodiversity is therefore of crucial importance, mainly as part of teacher education. This study examined the effectiveness of Virtual Field Trips (VFTs) in university-based geography teacher education to raise awareness of biodiversity loss. Therefore, two study groups, the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG), participated in a quasi-experimental longitudinal study. The EG carried out a VFT as an intervention in which two different ecosystems in Berlin, Germany, were experienced and analysed in terms of biodiversity. With a pre-test and post-test, we examined if the VFT as an intervention affects the EG. The results show no significant differences between the groups after the intervention. However, high mean values for most of the questionnaire scales can already be found for both groups in the pre-test. Likewise, the EG showed intrinsic motivation after the intervention based on the VFT, indicating its potential in education.

Published: September 2024

O presente artigo de pesquisa buscou tratar das lacunas legislativas existentes quanto à destinação de bens digitais pós-morte de seus titulares com ênfase na pesquisa no Tribunal de Justiça de Pernambuco (TJPE), especificamente no Fórum Desembargador Rodolfo Aureliano. O artigo trouxe à tona que “ a virtualização da vida é uma realidade contra a qual não há como se opor” (Zampier, 2021, p. 13). Sendo assim novas teses legislativas devem surgir para regular as hipóteses de novos cenários existentes no âmbito judiciário atual que versem sobre bens digitais e sua destinação pós-morte do titular, visto que o Brasil precisa de fato ter uma evolução na matéria em questão já que os projetos de lei existentes não passaram por todos os tramites legislativos existentes para a sua regularização.

PSA (ng/ml) was estimated by Enzyme immunoassay technique, BMG (mg/l) and MALB (mg/l) by immunoturbidimetric method, urea and creatinine were determined spectrophotometrically using modified Urease-Berthelot method and Jaffe slot alkaline picrate method respectively. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 21.0. The results were presented as median. Kruskal Wallis was used to determine significant differences between the mean values. P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. The results showed a significantly higher median values of tPSA, fPSA BMG and MALB in patients with BPH /PCa when compared with the control. MALB had a strong correlation with ACR in all the groups. Despite the significant increase in BMG and MALB in this study, routine indices of renal function remained normal. The increase in the sensitive markers in patients with BPH/PCa is an indication of early renal impairment.

The study focuses on the hydrogeological implications of slope and Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) distributions in the Aniocha and Oshimili regions of Nigeria. Understanding the spatial variations in these parameters is critical for effective groundwater management and sustainable land use planning in these areas. The aim is to assess the spatial distribution of slopes and LULC types and their impact on groundwater recharge and surface runoff in the study area. The study employs spatial analysis techniques to categorize slope data into five classes and LULC data into seven types for the years 2017 and 2023. The analysis covers Aniocha North, Aniocha South, Ika North, Ika South, Oshimili North, and Oshimili South. The slope analysis reveals that the largest area (1022.73 km²) falls within the 0-1.52° slope category, indicating predominantly flat terrain with high infiltration potential. The LULC analysis shows that in 2017, trees covered the most extensive area (2143.21 km²), which decreased to 1573.76 km² by 2023, indicating significant deforestation. Built areas expanded from 281.76 km² to 391.99 km², reflecting increased urbanization. Flat terrains (0-3.51°) are conducive to groundwater recharge due to their high infiltration rates, whereas steeper slopes (3.51-26.00°) exhibit higher runoff potential, impacting groundwater recharge negatively. The reduction in tree cover and expansion of built areas have significant hydrogeological implications. Deforestation reduces groundwater recharge potential, while urbanization increases surface runoff, potentially leading to flooding and reduced groundwater levels. The study highlights the need for integrated land and water management strategies to balance development with environmental sustainability. Protecting and managing flat areas for groundwater recharge, implementing soil conservation in steeper regions, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices are essential. Urban planning should incorporate green infrastructure to mitigate the impacts of increased impervious surfaces. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of slope and LULC changes over time and their hydrogeological implications, offering valuable insights for sustainable land and water resource management in the Aniocha and Oshimili regions.
