LAS MUJERES TOMAN EL PODER (O UNA MIRADA A LOS DON JUANES Y LAS DOÑA JUANAS DE LOS SIGLOS XX Y XXI)
Authors:   Uniwersytet SWPS, Mańkowska Joanna
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo se centra en los Don Juanes y las Doña Juanas que nos ofrece el teatro de los siglos XX y XXI. Se men-cionarán asimismo algunas curiosas reinterpretaciones del personaje donjuanesco que aparecen en la novela de esa época. La idea principal de este estudio es pues acercar al lector y la lectora dos problemas conec-tados con el tema donjuanesco, sin duda representivos para la situación en que se encuentran en nuestro tiempo tanto el mito como el personaje donjuanesco en sí. A saber, el personaje de Don Juan convertido en mito de un amante ideal cuyo rol es satisfacer los deseos y las necesidades vi-tales de las mujeres, darles placer y hacer su vida más agradable y Don Juan que es mujer, o sea la Doña Juana que se presenta como una digna heredera de los Don Juanes barrocos: insolentes, irreverentes, llenos de energía y poco sentimentales

Leading Classroom Discussions About Population Policy in Singapore
Authors: Damico James S. , Slaughter Sandy
Published: December 2024

Introduction

Iconic American singer-songwriter Johnny Cash recalled in song a boyhood experience of watching his parents monitor flood conditions at their 1937 Dyess, Arkansas, home by counting the number of front steps the water had risen; 1 step = 1 foot (0.305 m):

How high’s the water, mama?

Five feet high and risin’

In introducing his 1959 Columbia release, Five Feet High and Risin’, Cash noted (AZLyrics, 2000-2015):

My mama always taught me that good things come from adversity if we put our faith in the Lord.

We couldn’t see much good in the flood waters when they were causing us to have to leave home,

But when the water went down, we found that it had washed a load of rich black bottom dirt across our land.

The following year we had the best cotton crop we’d ever had.
Economic Pragmatism and the ‘Schooling’ of Girls in Singapore
Authors: Kho Ee Moi
Published: December 2024

Introduction
Women in Singapore today are considered by many to be modern, liberated and progressive. They have been accorded many opportunities for education and employment since the 1960s and appear to have made great strides in many areas of economic and social life in Singapore. An official survey outlined women’s socio-economic and educational achievements in Singapore between 1987 and 1997 thus (Department of Statistics, 1998, p.1):

Along with Singapore’s economic progress, women in Singapore have achieved significant improvements in various aspects of their life. Their educational level is almost on par with men, they participate actively in economic and social activities, and they have access to good health care and live longer lives. Concomitant with these changes is the marked improvement in the status of women in Singapore society.

Indeed, since the People’s Action Party (PAP) was elected into power, Singapore women have made great strides in the socio-economic arena as a result of the ruling party’s policy of equal opportunities. Between the years 1959 and 2010, the educational profile of the female population has improved markedly. Women’s literacy rate rose significantly from a mere 34% in 1957 to 93.8% by the year 2010 (Singapore, 1964 & Department of Statistics, 2012). The mean years of schooling for girls more than doubled from 4.6 in 1980 to 9.7 in 2010 (Department of Statistics, 2012). The increase in the number of years of schooling means that most girls were going on to secondary and even tertiary education. By the year 2010, approximately 93.6% of females aged 15–24 years and 93% aged 25–34 years had received at least a secondary education.[i] Women’s economic position has improved significantly as a result of education and their greater participation in the workforce. The female labour force participation rate (FLFPR) rose to 58.6% in 2014 from a mere 21.6% in 1957 (Singapore, 1964, p. 80; Ministry of Social & Family Development Research Room, 2015). The financial position of women has also been enhanced over the years as a result of a significant increase in the income of females. The median monthly income of women rose from $2,863 in 2010 to $3,518 in 2014 (Ministry of Social and Family Development Research Room, 2015). Based on these statistics, it looks like access to modern education and job opportunities has empowered many Singapore women. For many in Singapore, gender issues are not significant areas of concern because the ruling party’s declared policy of equal opportunities has allowed women to achieve much in society.
(Re)constructing the Nation? Representations of Public Housing in School Geography Textbooks
Authors: Seow Tricia , Das Diganta , Chang Julian
Published: December 2024

Within education literature, scholars have argued that schools play an important role in social reproduction. However the literature on the role of specific subjects in this process is less examined. Within geography education, there is a growing interest and critical examination of the purposes of geography teaching. These accounts suggest that the content of school geography fulfils particular social purposes and national ideologies. In fact, political geographers like Radcliffe (1999) have argued that geographical professionalism and skills have provided the knowledge/power with which to promote certain “imagined” geographies upon which a social or national sense of identity can rest. In Singapore, geography scholars like Kong and Yeoh (2003, p. 2) have examined the specific strategies that the Singapore state uses to construct the Singapore “nation” using both ideological and material practices. They suggest that the public housing landscape has been an important means to this end. The role of public housing in the construction of the Singapore’s national identity has been documented by academics – from scaling up to a first world nation through public housing, to Singapore’s public housing being emulated as a successful model. However there is little analysis of the ways in which public housing has been represented within school geography in order to promote certain imagined geographies in the population.

This paper, therefore, considers the representations of public housing in school geography textbooks from the 1970s to present day. It analyses the role that these textbook chapters on public housing play in augmenting the state’s modernist projects and goals, as well as the symbolic meanings attached to the content on public housing in reproducing particular types of Singaporean identities. It further compares the textbook content to the larger developmental goals of the state throughout these periods, and surfaces the realities that are obscured in the process.
Using Investigation and Discussion to Inquire about Issues in Primary Social Studies
Authors: Sim Hwee Hwang
Published: December 2024

This article begins with the inquiry teaching approach for primary social studies and the rationale for its inclusion in the 2013 syllabus by the Ministry of Education, Singapore. It compares traditional instruction and inquiry-based teaching and describes the two types of inquiry that can be implemented in the primary classroom – discussion and investigation. Three useful inquiry models for primary children – Colin Marsh’s (2001) investigation model and two discussion models – Diana Hess’ (2009) town meeting model (TMM) and David Johnson and Roger Johnson’s (1999) structured academic model (SAC) – are elaborated. The application of these models is illustrated in two issue-based, inquiry centred packages designed for primary children by student teachers from the National Institute of Education. The article also discusses the challenges teachers may face when implementing such inquiry-centred packages and suggests ways of how they can be overcome.

Inquiry in primary social studies teaching
In Singapore, the primary social studies syllabus produced by the Ministry of Education (MOE, 2013) advocates inquiry as a teaching approach in schools. It is understandable why such an approach is encouraged in the context of Singapore’s development. Singapore is a knowledge-based economy (Ngiam, 2011) with strong governmental emphasis on research and substantial resources are channelled yearly to the various universities, ministries and statutory boards in advancing the country’s economy as a knowledge producer (The Straits Times, 2016). Research involves inquiry and it is never too young to start children to inquire in schools. Moreover, all children have an innate curiosity about the things around them and their incessant questioning of whys (Parker, 2012) should be tapped to promote their learning in the classroom. Inquiry can enable children to gain an enlarged understanding of the topic, problem or issue in question, develop essential skills such as critical thinking skills to evaluate the relevance, quality and strength of evidence, and to distinguish between well-reasoned and balanced arguments based on solid evidence, and acquire dispositions such as respect for diversity, empathy and perseverance and resilience in the face of challenges. Such learning outcomes can contribute towards citizenship education and participation in Singapore now and in the future. In recent years, the government has been more open to its citizens’ views on policy matters and have tweaked several of its policies on health, social and economic matters by incorporating their views. It has also encouraged greater community involvement in partnership with it to make Singapore a better and a more inclusive home for all of its people (The Straits Times, 2014). Hence, children as future leaders of the country will be well prepared for their citizenship roles if they start from young to learn in an inquiring environment.
Developing Historical and Metahistorical Thinking in History Classrooms: Some Reflections on Research and Practice
Authors: Chapman Arthur
Published: December 2024

The history of history education, past and present, often resembles a history of contestation, in which rival and polarized understandings of the meanings of ‘history’ and ‘history education’ vie for dominance (Nakou and Barca, 2010). A common polarity in debates on history curricula is the opposition between ‘knowledge’ and ‘skill’, an opposition that has had considerable currency in recent curriculum reform processes in England which have emphasized ‘core knowledge’ (DfE, 2013).

Drawing on examples of classroom practice (Chapman, 2003; Woodcock, 2005; Buxton, 2010) and on systematic research and theorizing (Shemilt, 1983; Lee and Shemilt, 2009) this paper aims to destabilize such binary talk and to explore the ways in which ‘first order’ knowledge and understanding about the past and ‘second order’ or metahistorical knowledge and understanding of how the discipline of history works are both logically inter-related and inseparable in practical terms. The notion of historical ‘enquiry’ (Counsell, 2011) is explored as a pedagogic tool for the simultaneous development of these inter-related dimensions of historical thinking.

Introduction
As has often been the case around the world (Carretero, 2011; Nakou and Barca, eds., 2010; Taylor and Guyver, eds., 2011), recent public discussions of history curriculum and pedagogy in England have tended to be structured through overdrawn dichotomies – between ‘content’ and ‘skills’, between ‘traditional’ and ‘progressive’ and between ‘child-centred’ and ‘subject-centred’ pedagogies (Lee, 2011, pp.132-134). This paper aims to demonstrate the emptiness of these oppositions through discussion of a key aspect of historical understanding – historical explanation. It will argue that these oppositions present us with fallacious choices that restrict options to ‘either / or’ where, in reality, more complex choices, including ‘both / and’, are possible and desirable and, very probably, inevitable.
Conceptual Teaching in Primary Social Studies: Teaching the Primary Three Reader,“Making the Little Red Dot Blue and Brown” in a Conceptual Way
Authors: Sim Hwee Hwang
Published: December 2024

This paper looks at what conceptual teaching is about, the differences between conceptual and traditional teaching and the advantages of conceptual teaching. Different deductive and inductive approaches for teaching the big ideas of subject matter, that is, the concepts and generalisations, are described. The paper also focuses on the teaching of the primary three social studies reader entitled, “Making the Little Red Dot Blue and Brown” using some of the conceptual teaching approaches mentioned. The paper concludes with the importance of teacher subject matter knowledge in conceptual teaching.

A Paradigm Shift: Conceptual Teaching for Primary Social Studies
One longstanding issue which primary social studies teachers in Singapore schools face is the challenge of content coverage, especially in the upper primary, within a tight curriculum time. As it is, the time allocation for lower primary social studies teaching is a single period of 30 minutes per week; and for upper primary, it can range from a weekly of two periods of 60 minutes (Primary 4) to three periods of 90 minutes (Primary 5 and 6) per week (CPDD, 2013). Moreover, the upper primary periods are not necessary arranged back to back for uninterrupted teaching and the periods at all levels can be scheduled just after the morning school assembly, recess or physical education or music lessons. When such periods do not end on time, the amount of time for actual social studies teaching can be reduced as time is needed for pupil movement and settling down. Some teachers worry that if they do not teach the social studies textbooks produced by the Ministry of Education (MOE) from cover to cover, they are not doing their job as teachers properly. For these teachers, the “tyranny of content coverage” is a pressing concern.

To overcome the above-mentioned challenge, one needs to rethink the way primary social studies can be taught. The paradigm shift requires one to teach conceptually but what is conceptual teaching? According to Erickson (2002, 2007, 2008), conceptual teaching or concept-based instruction as she called it goes beyond fact acquisition. It is about teaching the big ideas of a subject matter using relevant content, information or facts to support that teaching. Teachers do not have to teach all the factual content in conceptual teaching. Instead they need to select and reorganise only the relevant ones to teach these big ideas. Conceptual teaching is best achieved through inductive teaching as pupils are guided to understand the big ideas rather than through direct instruction of what these ideas are. The insights they gain from such teaching can help them retain and better transfer their learning to other contexts.
Diversity: Approaches to building conceptual understanding in the Social Studies classroom
Authors: Koh Kar Loong Kenneth , Rajah S. N. Chelva
Published: December 2024

With the heightened emphasis placed on students’ understanding of core content or key concepts in the 2016 Social Studies curriculum in secondary schools, it remains of utmost interest for the social studies teacher to revisit some of the key strategies and beliefs involved in building conceptual understanding in the classroom. This pedagogy was developed to strengthen students’ understanding and appreciation of key concepts and principles while encouraging them to apply these concepts to their understanding of the world around them. This article thus seeks to explore the various pedagogical beliefs, instructional strategies and challenges that would be applicable for the classroom teacher in the conduct of the new Social Studies syllabus. For the purpose of this article, we will be touching on the concept of diversity to anchor our discussions. Having a good grasp of the key concept of diversity is an essential part of students’ learning as this concept forms the building blocks for gaining a better understanding about the issue on ‘Living in a Diverse Society’.

Introduction
The Ministry of Education, Singapore introduced a new Social Studies syllabus in 2016, which presents a paradigm shift in the teaching of the subject. Rather than the traditional content-based mode of teaching, the new syllabus emphasises an issue-based pedagogy that revolves around student mastery of core content (key concepts) and dynamic content (case studies). This pedagogy was developed to strengthen students’ understanding and appreciation of key concepts and principles while encouraging them to apply these concepts to their understanding of the world around them. The revised syllabus revolves around three broad issues: citizenship and governance, diverse society, and globalisation.
Teaching place, “placing” the learner: Understanding the geographies of place
Authors: Katigbak Evangeline
Published: December 2024

In this paper, I underscore the importance of “placing” the learner, or allowing them to engage in place-based learning activities to understand the concept of place. This is in support of arguments that hold place as open and fluid. Such a view of place is particularly relevant in this globalized age where transnationality characterizes many of our social relations. I draw on a place-based class activity that I did with my AAG10D (Singapore in Asia) students at the National Institute of Education (NIE) in Singapore in 2016 to emphasize the importance of place-based activities and their implications for understanding the geography of place. We focused on two translocal places in Singapore - Clarke Quay and Lucky Plaza - which are widely held as places for, respectively, expatriates and low-waged migrant workers. Such an activity allows students to experience the social interactions and processes that make up a place, and to recognize that place is not simply a location of things nor a container of human activities. Finally, I suggest that placing learners equips geography students with basic disciplinary knowledge that challenges them to think about being-in-the-world, which is what (human) geography is about.

Published: December 2024

Umjetna inteligencija i strojno učenje velikom brzinom mijenjaju sve sfere društva, pa tako i način kako funkcioniraju političke kampanje. U ovom se rad ispituje primjena dva algoritma strojnog učenja, klasteriranja i neuronske mreže, u svrhu profiliranje birača u političkim kampanjama. Empirijsko istraživanje koristi podatke društve mreže Facebook o aktivnosti političkih kandidata na lokalnim izborima u Francuskoj, s fokusom na sadržaj koji kandidat kreira i odjek koji to izaziva. Analizirani su podatci za kandidate na izborima u 41 gradu u Francuskoj. Podatci su uključivali varijable koje se odnos na broj dijeljenih događaja, fotografija, poveznica, videa i statusa, kao i komentare na sadržaj. Prikupljanje podataka društvenih mreža jednostavnije je i jeftinije od tradicionalnih načina prikupljanja javnog mnijenja. Primjenom umjetnih neuronskih mreža kreirani su prediktivni modeli ishoda izbora i identificirane su varijable koje su prediktori ishoda izbora. Primjena algoritma klasteriranja na varijablama koje su najznačajniji prediktori izbora omogućila je segmentaciju birača u homogenije skupine prema interesima. Hibridni pristup prediktivnog i deskriptivnog modela temeljem algoritama strojnog učenja omogućio je profiliranje birača. Ovo istraživanje primjenjuje strojno učenje i umjetnu inteligenciju u politici te daje uvide u kvalitete profiliranja birača koje se temelji na podatcima društvene mreže.
Increasing the service life of tank car boilers for the transportation of chemical cargoes by using the method of tread protection
Authors: Shcherbyna Iurii , Tereshchuk Anna
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the search for a comprehensive technical solution to increase the service life of tank car boilers by introducing an effective protection method. A significant problem of increasing the service life of tank cars for the transportation of chemicals is the high level of boiler wear, which is associated with corrosion phenomena that arise as a result of the interaction of the inner surface of the boiler with chemical corrosive cargoes. To solve the problem of the possibility of operating tank cars in terms of determining the service life due to corrosion damage, it is necessary to develop and implement comprehensive measures to assess the final service life of tank cars. At the same time, specialists, researchers and scientists face a special task - to maximize the boiler life using a progressive protection method. One of the most promising methods that can reduce the negative impact of corrosion and be applied in practice is the tread protection method. The article presents an algorithm for calculating the tread protection, which makes it possible to determine the required number of surface protection elements. The effectiveness of protection when changing the cathodic polarization is evaluated. The requirements that should determine the principles of construction of the protection system design and its functioning are considered, and a set of technical solutions and measures aimed at ensuring the protection of metal surfaces of the object of study: a tank car boiler.

ВПЛИВ СТІЧНИХ ВОД, УТВОРЕНИХ ПРИ ПРАННІ ТЕКСТИЛЬНИХ ВИРОБІВ, НА ЯКІСТЬ ҐРУНТІВ
Authors: Крючкова Валерія Валеріївна , Тихомирова Тетяна Сергіївна
Published: December 2024

Стаття присвячена актуальному питанню — впливу стічних вод, які утворюються під час експлуатації текстильних виробів споживачами, на якість ґрунтів. Текстильна промисловість суттєво впливає на стан природного навколишнього середовища. Виробники одягу підтримують споживацький попит шляхом постійного оновлення асортименту дешевої низькоякісної продукції. Низькоякісна текстильна продукція є потенційно небезпечною як для споживачів, так і для навколишнього середовища. Стічні води утворюються на різних етапах життєвого циклу текстильної продукції, зокрема одягу. Метою статті є дослідження впливу стічних вод, які утворюються при пранні текстильних виробів в індивідуальних домогосподарствах, на стан ґрунтів. У роботі досліджено вплив на водні ресурси під час кожного з етапів життєвого циклу текстильних виробів. Особливу увагу приділено вторинному забрудненню, що утворюється на етапі використання готової продукції, а саме прання. Встановлено, що нехтування технологічними процесами фарбування призводить до низького коефіцієнта поглинання барвника текстильним волокном. У результаті під час прання текстильних виробів розчин барвника потрапляє до міської каналізації, а далі у водойми. Проведене соціологічне опитування населення показало значне поширення проблеми втрати кольору речей при пранні. За умови високої періодичності процесів очищення це може мати негативний вплив на навколишнє природне середовище. Особливо небезпечним є вплив на стан ґрунтів при скиданні неочищених стічних вод з пральних машин в індивідуальних домогосподарствах. Крім того, неякісно пофарбований матеріал при безпосередньому контакті зі шкірою може негативно впливати на здоров’я споживачів. В експериментальній частині досліджено фізико-хімічні властивості стічних вод, відібраних після прання джинсових виробів. Дослідження виявило значне забруднення, спричинене хімічними речовинами та барвниками, які використовуються в процесі виробництва та експлуатації текстильних виробів. Токсичність досліджуваних зразків води остаточно підтверджується результатами досліджень екотоксичності ґрунтів при їх зволоженні зразками стічних вод, що утворилися при пранні та полосканні одягу. Аналіз результатів досліджень показав, що вода, яка утворюються після прання текстильних виробів, пригнічує розвиток тест-рослин, а отже негативно впливає на стан та якість ґрунтів.

Objective: To determine the competitiveness in the world and in the European Union of the main Latin lime-producing countries through the calculation of the normalized revealed comparative advantage to generate a discussion around the use of the free trade agreement that the countries have with the European Union.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Official sources were used to obtain the information in the period from 2001 to 2021, the normalized revealed comparative advantage was calculated and the behavior in the global market and in the European Union was forecasted. The Prais-Wisten method was used for the correction of autocorrelation.
Results: Competitiveness was estimated through the Normalized Revealed Comparative Advantage Index, both globally and in the European Union, for the main Latin American limes producers.
Study limitations/implications: The limitation of the study was that it was only compared with Latin American countries, the study could expand its comparison with other regions of the world.
Findings/Conclusions: The main Latin American lime producers were compared using the NRCA. Mexico has maintained a competitive advantage since 2003, while Argentina lost it in 2004. Brazil became competitive in 2021, while Colombia is not. Argentina has the biggest advantage, although declining, and Brazil has surpassed Mexico since 2019. Projections show that Mexico and Brazil will continue to improve their competitiveness, while Argentina will reduce it. The concentration of production in Mexico is an opportunity for other regions with similar conditions to increase production and export to the European market. The proposed hypothesis is accepted

Published: December 2024

Objective: Quantify the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of honey harvested in the four seasons of the year, to determine the variation in its quality with respect to official standards.
Design/methodology/approach: Honey samples were collected in the municipality of Tantoyuca, during the four seasons of the year, in the presence or absence of rain. For each sample, color, electrical conductivity, moisture, pH, free acidity, diastase activity, total reducing sugars, Brix degrees, caloric content, phenolic and total flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity were determined by the FRAP and ABTS assays.
Results: The Brix degrees and moisture were found within the limits accepted by NOM-004-SAG/GAN-2018 and CXS 12-1981 throughout the year, however, in the rainy period these variables were higher (82.1 °Brix and 19.6 g 100 g-1). The FRAP and ABTS values ​​showed variation depending on the absence or presence of rain. The highest antioxidant content occurred in the winter season (63.91 and 68.82 µmol TE 100 g-1).
The results obtained are attributed to the geographical origin and the floral species present during the bees' foraging.
Limitations on study/implications: Climate change in the region has decreased rainfall, reducing the floristic resource.
Findings/conclusions: The effect of the season of the year affects the characteristics of the honey evaluated, however, it complies with the parameters established in the Mexican standard and the codex alimentarius, which can encourage and support its commercialization in the international market.

Published: December 2024

Objective: The physicochemical characteristics of soil fertility, based on the influence of mesquite (Neltumalaevigata) were evaluated in an agricultural community of Ixmiquilpan, Hidalgo, Mexico.Design/Methodology/Approach: Based on NOM-021-SEMARNAT-2000, physical and chemicalparameters were evaluated. Nine samples were taken from each of the four sites with and without mesquite(n=36). The relationship between soil fertility and the presence or absence of mesquite mesquite was determinedwith a paired t- test (p<0.05).Results: A significant difference in organic matter content was recorded. Humic substances and acids arehigher in soils with natural vegetation with mesquite than in soils with natural vegetation without mesquite.Study Limitations/Implications: The study does not consider changes in microbiological biodiversity or theinfluence of other plant species in organic matter content and humic substances.Findings/Conclusions: Mesquite promotes soil fertility in the area; consequently, proposing managementstrategies for this species is fundamental in the Valle del Mezquital.

Published: December 2024

Objective: Strawberry cultivation (Fragaria sp.) is globally relevant due to the appeal of its fruit and its organoleptic characteristics, which increase its demand. However, it is necessary to implement new propagation methods that allow the establishment of commercial plantations, such as plant micropropagation, in order to obtain thousands of plants in a reduced period of time. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of meta-Topolin (mT) during the in vitro multiplication of strawberries.
Design/Methodology/Approach: In vitro strawberry plants were used in MS medium with 30 g L-1 of sucrose, evaluating concentrations of meta-Topolin (mT: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 mg L-1) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 mg L-1), under conditions of 24 ± 2 °C and a photoperiod of 16:8 h light/darkness.
Results: mT increased the number of shoots compared to BAP, with 1.0 mg/L yielding 4.72 shoots per explant and 1.5 mg/L yielding 3.50. At 1.5 mg/L, the shoots reached 3.41 cm. The roots formed during multiplication facilitated acclimatization.
Limitations/Implications: Although the use of meta-Topolin showed promising results in the in vitro multiplication of strawberries, its performance needs to be evaluated in later developmental stages, field growth, and response to different environmental conditions.
Findings/Conclusions: mT increased the number of shoots compared to BAP, with 1.0 mg L-1 yielding 4.72 shoots per explant and 1.5 mg L-1 yielding 3.50. At 1.5 mg L-1, the shoots reached 3.41 cm. The roots formed during multiplication facilitated acclimatization.

Published: December 2024

Existing research from the Netherlands suggests that bicycle attitudes and behaviour affect each other, but bicycle behaviour affects attitude more than vice versa (Kroesen et al., 2017). We conducted a quasi-replication study using existing datasets (n=972) with slightly different operationalisations and timeframes in a Norwegian context. Using two variations of a structural equation model, we confirm this bidirectional effect, though our findings show a considerably stronger influence of attitudes on behaviour than the reverse.

Introdução: A febre induzida por frmacos (FIF) uma reação adversa frequentemente subdiagnosticada. A
principal caracterstica clnica baseia-se na resolução da febre com a suspensão do frmaco e recorrência após reintrodução. Estão descritos cinco potenciais mecanismos. No entanto, estes so ainda pouco compreendidos e a FIF
um diagnstico de difcil confirmação. Casos clínicos: Descrevemos seis casos clnicos de FIF que consideramos que
englobam os mecanismos mais provveis: reação de hipersensibilidade tipo I, reação de hipersensibilidade tipo IV,
resposta idiossincrtica, ação farmacológica e relacionado com a administração do frmaco (por contaminação e
reação infusional). Discussão/Conclusão: O diagnstico de FIF implica elevado grau de suspeição e exclusão de
outras etiologias. A febre pode preceder ou acompanhar reaões mais graves, pelo que a reintrodução do frmaco
deve ser ponderada individualmente.
Survival and early growth performance of root-prunned diptorecarp wildlings
Authors: Baldos Angelica P. , Lacerna Lloyd A.
Published: December 2024

There is still very little empirical data available that could support the assumption that root pruning benefits growth performance of nursery–raised planting stocks, specifically dipterocarps, considering that it is considered as standard nursery practice. This study aimed to determine the early growth performance and percent survival of wildlings of selected Shorea species when subjected to root pruning. Wildlings of three Shorea species, namely, Shorea almon, Shorea negronensis, and Shorea palosapis were collected at Mt. Nacolod, Silago Southern Leyte and brought to the Department of Forest Science Nursery in Visayas State University where half of the number of collected wildlings for each species were root–pruned leaving the other half as control (not pruned). Growth characteristics (height, root collar diameter, number of leaves) and percent survival were determined at three months after placing them inside a recovery chamber. Height, root collar diameter, leaf count, and leaf survival rate were not significantly affected by root pruning but root-pruning results might not be evident at this early stage. A visual examination and comparison of roots revealed the root-pruned Shorea wildlings started to form new lateral roots. More roots in the root ball could improve the viability of the seedlings and enhance the likelihood that they will survive. More studies are recommended to evaluate the benefits of root pruning to dipterocarp wildlings.

Prilikom uzgoja životinja hrana se smatra najosnovnijim i najskupljim elementom proizvodnje. Cijena stočne hrane višestruko je porasla na globalnoj razini, zbog čega je potrebno razviti alternativna krmiva s ekonomičnim cijenama. Također, ograničenje i nedostatak stočne hrane uobičajeni su problemi u mnogim napučenim dijelovima svijeta te intenziviraju potragu za mogućim alternativnim krmivima. Jedna od alternativa jest upotreba ječmenih klica, koje nastaju kao nusproizvod prilikom proizvodnje ječmenoga slada tijekom proizvodnje piva. U ovome radu obuhvaćeno je zrno pet sorata pivarskoga ječma, od čega su dvije jare sorte, Quench i Planet, tri ozime sorte, Lukas, Casanova i Teppe, te klice ječma koje su dobivene nakon proizvodnje piva iz tih sorata. Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da je sadržaj vlage klica bio oko 92 % kod jarih i ozimih sorata, dok je sadržaj pepela bio veći kod ozimih sorata. Sadržaj škroba u klicama bio je osam puta niži negoli u zrnu ječma, s višim vrijednostima škroba u zrnu kod jarih sorata, a u klicama kod ozimih sorata. Najviši sadržaj masti u zrnu zabilježen je kod ozime sorte Teppe, a u klicama kod ozime sorte Lukas. Klice ječma mogu se koristiti u hranidbi životinja jer povećavaju probavljivost hranjivih tvari, ali se preporučuju kao komponenta, a ne kao glavno krmivo.
