This study focuses on a training experience that took place in the academic year 2021–2022 at Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia. A hands-on workshop on ICTeEfS focusing on Participatory Video (PV) and Digital Storytelling (DST) involved 210 teachers in the creation of videos with a two-fold objective: 1) embedding SDGs in school curricula enabled by PV/DST methodologies and 2) innovating teaching methodologies by merging digital and green skills. The process of creating PV/DST videos included a 15-step methodology integrated into four interacting phases starting from planning, moving to production, and then utilization/dissemination. The PV/DST applications produced could be used as learning resources to enrich the school curricula. Uploading PV/DST to school or social media accounts was a good method to get the message out to a wider audience while empowering teachers to address SDGs. The results can be used as guiding principles for teacher educators and teachers as well as for policymakers to integrate PV/DST in teaching, learning, and curricula addressing SDGs.
Resilience in Rhode Island: Cape Verdeans Coping Creatively with the Covid-19 Crisis
Authors: ALMA GOTTLIEB AND ALLESSANDRA ALMEIDA SOARES
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT: In this article, we profile the exceptional ways in which Cape Verdeans in Rhode Island implemented relief efforts during the coronavirus pandemic to assist the Cape Verdean population of the state, including many individuals who are undocumented. Paying special attention to specific cultural norms, a team of volunteers assembled and distributed hundreds of hygiene and food packages as well as Cape Verde (CV)themed face masks. They also produced CV Kriolu oral and written translations of critical information and health guidelines regarding the virus and vaccines. In the second year, the group coordinated with the Rhode Island Department of Health to host community vaccine clinics featuring CV Kriolu interpreters and COVID-19 fact sheets in CV Kriolu. To support their efforts, a new coalition coordinated these projects and raised substantial funds through private donations as well as eight grants. Partnering with foundations, state agencies, and diverse CV groups, the coalition’s efforts have demonstrated that collaboration can make a dramatic difference for immigrant communities of color—even in moments of crisis, and even for immigrant groups with significant internal diversity.

RESUMO: Neste artigo, traçamos o perfil das formas excecionais como os cabo-verdianos em Rhode Island implementaram esforços de assistência durante a pandemia do coro-navírus para ajudar a população de cabo-verdiana de Rhode Island, incluindo muitos imi-grantes cabo-verdianos indocumentados. Dando especial atenção às normas culturais de Cabo Verde, uma equipe de voluntários montou e distribuiu centenas de embalagens de higiene e alimentos, além de máscaras alusivas a temas Cabo-verdianos. Eles também produziram traduções orais e escritas em CV Kriolu de informações críticas e diretrizes de saúde relacionadas com o vírus e com a vacina. Mais recentemente, o grupo coordenou com o Departamento de Saúde em Rhode Island para hospedar clínicas de vacinas comu-nitárias com intérpretes de CV Kriolu e fichas técnicas COVID-19 em CV Kriolu.Para apoiar seus esforços, uma aliança recém-criada coordenou esses projetos e engariou fundos por meio de doações privadas, bem como oito subsídios. Em parce-ria com fundações, agências estaduais e diversos grupos de CV, os esforços da Aliança demonstraram que a colaboração pode fazer uma diferença dramática para comunida-des de imigrantes africanos, mesmo em momentos de crise, e até mesmo para grupos de imigrantes com diversidade interna significativa.

Authors: SILVA FABIO MARIO DA
Published: July 2024

RESUMO: Este artigo apresenta as principais características e a fortuna crítica do romance Os pretos de Pousaflores, de Aida Gomes, publicado em 2011 pela Dom Quixote. Contudo, meu interesse principal é observar o trajeto da personagem Silvério, que vive em dois espaços, Angola e Portugal, e em dois períodos históricos importantes, como o colonial e a subsequente independência do país africano. A intenção é perceber como essa persona-gem é importante para compreender algumas dinâmicas culturais e sociais que se insta-laram durante o período tão sensível da história angolana e portuguesa, revelando que as personagens com quem Silvério se cruza ajudam a entender certas posturas de opressão.

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Silvério; opressão; Os pretos de Pousaflores; Aida Gomes.

ABSTRACT: This article presents the main features and the critical reception of the novel Os pretos de Pousaflores [The Blacks of Pousaflores] by Aida Gomes, published in 2011 (Dom Quixote). My focus is on the trajectory of the character Silvério, who inhabits two spaces (Angola and Portugal) and two distinct historical periods (before and after the overthrow of Portuguese colonialism). Our aim is to assess the importance this char-acter has for our understanding of the cultural and social dynamics of this sensitive period in Angolan and Portuguese history and, in particular, to demonstrate the extent to which the characters who cross Silvério’s path help us understand certain racist atti-tudes and oppressive behaviors.

Повсякденне життя робітників УРСР у 1920-ті – на початку 1930-х рр.
Authors: Любавський Роман
Published: July 2024

Радянська влада прагнула докорінно змінити стиль і структури повсякденного життя людей (житло, дозвілля, роботу). Особливо радикальні проекти були розроблені і частково втілені у 1920-1930-ті роки. Робітники опинилися у центрі уваги радянської соціальної політики. У офіційному дискурсі комуністична партія більшовиків була представлена як авангард пролетаріату, що діяла передусім в інтересах трудящих. Чи відповідали ці ідеї практиці, і якою ціною втілювалися. Про це йтиметься у модулі авторства історика Романа Любавського.

Published: July 2024

major cause of morbidity and mortality. In colorectal carcinoma the most frequently mutated geneis p53 tumor suppressor gene. Mutation of p53 gene gives rise to abnormal protein which can beeasily detected by immunohistochemistry. Expression of mutant p53 protein has been associatedwith poor clinical outcome and increased risk of death due to increased aggressiveness of thedisease.Objective: The aim of the study was to see the clinicopathological correlation of mutant p53expression in colorectal carcinoma.Method: Total 50 paraffin embedded tissue blocks of histopathologically diagnosed cases ofcolorectal cancer were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining for mutant p53 expression. Thestudy was performed in Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka (from March, 2018 to February,2020).Results: Out of 50 patients studied, 29 cases (58%) expressed mutant p53 protein in the nucleus ofmalignant cells. There was significant association between p53 protein expression andclinicopathologic variables such as age (<40 years vs >40 years, p=0.032), site of tumor (left vsright colon, p=0.028), pathological type (mucinous vs non mucinous, p=0.039), grade (a greatertendency towards poor differentiation, p= 0.039), advanced stage (both TNM and Dukes), whereasno significant association was found between mutant p53 protien expression and other parameterslike gender and morphological types.Conclusion: The results of this current study revealed that mutant p53 positive colorectal cancertended to be related to a higher grade of malignancy, advanced tumor stage and mucinousmorphology. The results of this current study revealed that mutant p53 positive colorectal cancertended to be related to a higher grade of malignancy, advanced tumor stage and mucinousmorphology. So, p53 is an important immunohistochemical marker for colorectal cancer patients.
Critical Analysis of Legal Discourse: A study of the Effectiveness of Brazilian Environmental Legislation
Authors: Ana Keuly Luz Bezerra  , José Machado Moita Neto
Published: July 2024

The little effectiveness of environmental law does not correspond to the importance that this branch of law has for today's society and for the future of mankind on Earth. The aim of the present study was to analyze the role of the Judiciary in dealing with environmental issues through the identification of the categories of reasoning of legal discourses arising from environmental demands trials. The methodology used was critical discourse analysis based on the categories formulated by Fairclough (2001). The sample consisted of a Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI) judged by the Federal Supreme Court and an environmental Public Civil Action (ACP) judged by the Federal Judicial Section of Piauí (SJPI). The study showed that the discourses captured in the interviews of the practitioners are against the written legal discourses, however their discursive practices have not yet been sufficient to transform the ideological positions demarcated in the Judiciary. It is believed that legal discourses are in many cases the consequence of a doctrinal formation based on individual rights and cultural values ​​that do not have the environment as a priority, and also due to the divergence of position regarding the eminent issues of society when compared to environmental issues.
Consumer Protection in The New Digital Decade
Authors: Cristina Mihaela Salcă Rotaru
Published: July 2024

In this article, the effect of digitization, the use of the Internet and the Internet of Things on consumers in the EU in general and in Romania in particular is discussed. The research is linked to the legislation and policies for accelerating the digital transformation and to the concrete digital objectives pursued in the implementation of the Digital Decade at the level of the European Union. Creating new volumes of data through the implementation of digital services and technologies can create new issues related to data protection and therefore maintaining consumer confidence, confidentiality, access to data and their integrity. The right to information and the information of the average consumer are perhaps the most important aspects of consumer protection. These are key elements of the informed decisions that the consumer must make, in and about the digital environment, so that it is protected against risks and possible harm to its health, safety and fundamental rights. The research results reveal the vulnerability of Romanian consumers to the new reality imposed by the acceleration of digitalization at European level and proposes measures to reduce the digital divide in terms of digital skills.
Armas menos letales: Trauma ocular como trauma psicosocial en Chile.
Authors: Tejada Jose , Arriaza Alejandra , Sinclaire Danae , Vargas Alejandra
Published: July 2024

Introducción: En octubre de 2019 en Chile estallaron protestas masivas en la llamada revuelta social. La respuesta represiva de las fuerzas armadas del orden y la seguridad resultó en graves y masivas violaciones de los derechos humanos, con entre 400 y 500 víctimas de traumatismos oculares provocados principalmente por disparos de escopetas antidisturbios, constituyendo el mayor número de casos en el mundo. Se propone evaluar las diferentes dimensiones del impacto del trauma ocular por violencia de Estado, utilizando el concepto de trauma psicosocial y un modelo de apoyo que integra las dimensiones médica, psicológica y social. Métodos: Se describen las violaciones de derechos humanos del período, centrándose en los casos de trauma ocular y las respuestas del Estado y la sociedad civil. Se presentan las demandas en verdad, justicia y reparación de una organización de sobrevivientes. Se analiza un caso clínico de trauma ocular tratado en nuestro centro. Resultados: Los sobrevivientes de trauma ocular manifiestan reacciones postraumáticas independientemente de la gravedad de sus lesiones oculares. El impacto en la salud mental de los sobrevivientes de trauma ocular debido a la violencia estatal es un fenómeno en el que el impacto psíquico y psicosocial del trauma debido a la violencia sociopolítica se cruza con los efectos del trauma ocular en la salud mental a corto y largo plazo. Discusión: El impacto del trauma sociopolítico debe entenderse considerando la realidad del sujeto individual y social, considerando su realidad cultural, socioeconómica y política. La recuperación de una lesión psicológica traumática debe abordarse en sus dimensiones médica, de rehabilitación sensorial, psicológica y psicosocial, incluyendo procesos de reconocimiento social, búsqueda de justicia y reparación integral del daño. En contextos de impunidad, se propone un modelo que integra la rehabilitación con el apoyo psicojurídico, la promoción de la agencia y la organización, en el marco del compromiso con el movimiento y los principios de los derechos humanos.
An unusual exophytic pleomorphic adenoma on the upper lip skin without mucosa involvement: a case report
Authors: Ki Sae Hwi , Chung Do Hyuk , Yoon Jin Myung
Published: July 2024

Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor that can occur in the salivary glands, most commonly in the parotid gland. While it primarily occurs in the major salivary glands, it can sometimes be found in the minor salivary glands. Within the minor salivary glands, it most often originates in the hard palate and soft palate, and less frequently in the upper lips. Due to its location in the minor salivary glands, most pleomorphic adenoma involve and protrude on the mucosa. A 61-year-old man presented with 1.5 cm exophytic mass on the skin of his upper lip. This mass was exophytic on the skin and did not involve or protrude into the inner lip mucosa. The mass was entirely excised, and a subsequent permanent biopsy diagnosed it as a pleomorphic adenoma. In such situations, it can be challenging to suspect pleomorphic adenoma during a physical examination, leading to potential diagnostic confusion. It might also be mistaken for an inclusion cyst or another type of mass, making it tempting to treat without verifying the pathological results.
Investigating Erosion-Corrosion and Flow-Assisted Galvanic Corrosion Behaviour of Tantalum/Tungsten
Authors:   , Chouhan Jitendra Singh
Published: July 2024

Tantalum (Ta) and Tungsten (W) are currently used as a neutron spallation target at UKRI Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). This target suffers from frequent failures susceptibly due to erosion-corrosion phenomenon, reducing its operational life significantly. These failures prompted investigation of pure Ta and W with an overarching aim to improve the service life of RAL’s target. This study investigated erosion, corrosion, and erosion-corrosion behaviour of Ta and flow-assisted galvanic corrosion behaviour between Ta and W, using an impinging jet erosion-corrosion apparatus and potentiostat. The pure erosion experiments were performed using deionised aqueous slurry of SiC particles at a range of impact angle, concentration, and impact velocity. The pure corrosion, erosion-corrosion, and flow-assisted galvanic corrosion experiments were performed using solutions of different pH (4, 7, and 10). The potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarisation techniques were performed in these solutions, at fixed impact velocity (5 ms-1) and variable impact angles (30° and 90°), to assess pure corrosion and erosion-corrosion rate of Ta, respectively. Zero resistance ammeter technique was performed at 90° and different flow velocities (5 ms-1 and 9 ms-1) to assess flow-assisted galvanic corrosion between Ta and W. Findings on pure erosion of Ta revealed its distinct material removal mechanism which was discussed underpinning theories of solid particle erosion and grain boundary sliding under localised indentation loading. Erosion-corrosion of Ta showed a positive synergy under all pH levels at 30° impact angle, and a negative synergy in neutral and alkaline solutions at 90° impact angle. Galvanic coupling between Ta and W increased corrosion rate of W in alkaline solutions, while Ta suffered minimum damage due to the presence of stable oxide layer on its surface. The findings of this study provide insights into erosion-corrosion and flow-assisted galvanic corrosion response of Ta and W and suggest ways to improve performance of RAL’s target
Work-family conflict in social economy organisations. Individual differences in the employees’ demographic profile
Authors: Villajos Esther , Pérez-Nebra Amalia , Legarra Maite , Elio Eunate
Published: July 2024

The changes and diversity in the demographic profile of the Spanish workforce have sparked a great deal of interest, particularly in human resource management. Examining the intricate balance that individuals and organisations strike between family, gender, and work responsibilities becomes particularly crucial, especially in the context of families with children. The conflict between work and family may originate in either domain. Thus, the direction of the conflict becomes relevant at both a personal and organisational level, to understand whether work interferes with family (WFC), or family interferes with work (FWC). However, in social economy organisations these conflicts might be exhibited differently, given how these types of organisations tend to be more horizontal, social, feminine, and participative. This means that the conflict between family and work could be less harmful. With this in mind, our goal was to analyse whether children, based on their age, influence work-family conflict, and to assess any gender differences. Results revealed some differences regarding the age of children in the work-family and family-work conflict between women and men. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed throughout the paper.

Authors: Sivagami B. , Sailaja B.
Published: July 2024

In the present research, the reverse phase (RP)-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated to determine phytochemical markers andrographolide, eugenol, and zingerone in nilaveembu kudineer (NK) a Siddha polyherbal formulation. There are no RP-HPLC methods reported for the simultaneous estimation of these marker compounds in any herbal formulation. In this study, the optimized chromatographic conditions were C18 Column (150 × 4.6 × 5 μm) mobile phase containing Acetonitrile and 0.1% Ortho Phosphoric acid 30:70, flow rate 1.0 ml/minutes, at 254 nm using a ultravoilet detector, column temperature of 40°C and run time of 20 minutes. In the linearity study, a linear relation was observed from 25 to 200 μg/ml with a correlation coefficient of 0.9990. The optimized method is successfully applied for the estimation of these phytochemical markers in NK formulation. The suggested approach is an excellent quality control tool for the simultaneous quantitative assessment and detection of phytochemical markers present in polyherbal formulations and in traditional medicines such as ayurveda, siddha, unani, and homeopathic formulations.

Substance use, including cigarettes and cannabis, is associated with poorer sustained attention in late adolescence and early adulthood. Previous studies were predominantly cross-sectional or under-powered and could not indicate if impairment in sustained attention was a predictor of substance-use or a marker of the inclination to engage in such behaviour. This study explored the relationship between sustained attention and substance use across a longitudinal span from ages 14 to 23 in over 1,000 participants. Behaviours and brain connectivity associated with diminished sustained attention at age 14 predicted subsequent increases in cannabis and cigarette smoking, establishing sustained attention as a robust biomarker for vulnerability to substance use. Individual differences in network strength relevant to sustained attention were preserved across developmental stages and sustained attention networks generalized to participants in an external dataset. In summary, brain networks of sustained attention are robust, consistent, and able to predict aspects of later substance use.

Background

Breeding programs for nutrient-efficient tea plant varieties could be advanced by the combination of genotyping and phenotyping technologies. This study was aimed to search functional SNPs in key genes related to the nitrogen-assimilation in the collection of tea plant Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze. In addition, the objective of this study was to reveal efficient vegetation indices for phenotyping of nitrogen deficiency response in tea collection.

Methods

The study was conducted on the tea plant collection of Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze of Western Caucasus grown without nitrogen fertilizers. Phenotypic data was collected by measuring the spectral reflectance of leaves in the 350–1100 nm range calculated as vegetation indices by the portable hyperspectral spectrometer Ci710s. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified in 30 key genes related to nitrogen assimilation and tea quality. For this, pooled amplicon sequencing, SNPs annotation and effect prediction with SnpEFF tool were used. Further, a linear regression model was applied to reveal associations between the functional SNPs and the efficient vegetation indices.

Results

PCA and regression analysis revealed significant vegetation indices with high R2 values (more than 0.5) and the most reliable indices to select ND-tolerant genotypes were established: ZMI, CNDVI, RENDVI, VREI1, GM2, GM1, PRI, and Ctr2, VREI3, VREI2. The largest SNPs frequency was observed in several genes, namely F3’5’Hb, UFGTa, UFGTb, 4Cl, and AMT1.2. SNPs in NRT2.4, PIP, AlaDC, DFRa, and GS1.2 were inherent in ND-susceptible genotypes. Additionally, SNPs in AlaAT1, MYB4, and WRKY57, were led to alterations in protein structure and were observed in ND-susceptible tea genotypes. Associations were revealed between flavanol reflectance index (FRI) and SNPs in ASNb and PIP, that change the amino acids. In addition, two SNPs in 4Cl were associated with water band index (WBI).

Conclusions

The results will be useful to identify tolerant and susceptible tea genotypes under nitrogen deficiency. Revealed missense SNPs and associations with vegetation indices improve our understanding of nitrogen effect on tea quality. The findings in our study would provide new insights into the genetic basis of tea quality variation under the N-deficiency and facilitate the identification of elite genes to enhance tea quality.

Gender gaps are still wide. Data recently published by Eurostat (2020) testify that, despite progress, equality is yet to be reached. This holds both in the labour market and in politics, where progress has been much slower. According to the World Economic Forum (2020), the world as a whole has closed only 58% of the gender gap in economic participation and opportunities; the corresponding number for political empowerment is 25%. The staggering progress in female empowerment in the labour market is in stark contrast with women having caught up, and in most instances overtaken, men in educational attainment: in the EU-27, the share of women with tertiary education in the 30-34 age group is 45%; the share of men is 34%. Differences in the labour market perpetuate themselves also after retirement, when the share of women at risk of poverty surpasses that of men. According to the OECD (2019), the average old-age poverty rates for women and men in the OECD equal 15.7% and 10.3%, respectively. Lower earnings-related pension income and longer life expectancy are among the main drivers of higher poverty incidence among women than among men. This is not all: gaps in financial literacy between men and women make the latter more prone to low income risk, since they are less equipped to adequately provide for themselves during old age.
Canadian Gender Gap in Financial Literacy: Confidence Matters

We construct a financial literacy index as well as a financial confidence index in order to evaluate the effect of confidence on financial literacy, and more specifically, on the gender gap in financial literacy. Results confirm the existence of a gender gap in financial literacy in Canada, and show that having a higher con¬fidence in one’s financial skills and knowledge is indeed a factor that increases one’s financial literacy. Financial confidence is found not to track actual financial skills very closely across different ages, espe¬cially for women, and at older ages. We also find evidence that financial literacy and decision making are related to the relative education level of spouses. Using the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, confidence is also found to explain 14.15% of the gender gap in financial literacy, while being self-employed explains 19% of the gap, and taking part in the financial planning accounts for 16.76% of the gender gap difference. We find that most of the gap remains unexplained by differences in coefficients of men and women.
The generation and propagation of internal solitary waves in the South China Sea

The internal wave field in the real‐time numerical simulation at the Naval Research Laboratory is analyzed during April–May 2007, a period of intensive field observations in the northern South China Sea. Internal solitary waves are detected in the plots of the surface baroclinic velocity and depth‐integrated energy flux. In each diurnal cycle, an internal wave crest with eastward surface velocity arrives at a location west of the Luzon Strait first and is followed by two internal wave troughs of westward surface velocity, in agreement with the arrival of a type‐B and then a type‐A internal solitary wave described in the literature. Sources of the B‐wave and A‐wave are consistent with the generation by eastward tidal currents on the western and eastern ridges in the Luzon Strait, respectively. During neap tide, a B‐wave and an A‐wave switch their daily arrival times to maintain the arrival sequence of an A‐wave after a B‐wave. Internal waves arriving at a mooring location at the same time each day are B‐waves during the neap tide and A‐waves during the first half of the spring tide. Otherwise, both A‐waves and B‐waves have a 1 h delay each day in their daily arrivals. Classification of the internal wave types based on generation gives a coherent pattern of internal wave propagation from the generation region to the continental margin in the South China Sea. The propagation speeds of both waves are higher than that of linear internal waves.

We have assessed the characteristics of clasts along Curiosity's traverse to shed light on the processes important in the genesis, modification, and transportation of surface materials. Pebble‐ to cobble‐sized clasts at Bradbury Landing, and subsequently along Curiosity's traverse to Yellowknife Bay, reflect a mixing of two end‐member transport mechanisms. The general clast population likely represents material deposited via impact processes, including meteorite fragments, ejecta from distant craters, and impactites consisting of shocked and shock‐melted materials from within Gale Crater, which resulted predominantly in larger, angular clasts. A subset of rounded pebble‐sized clasts has likely been modified by intermittent alluvial or fluvial processes. The morphology of this rounded clast population indicates that water was a more important transporting agent here than at other Mars sites that have been studied in situ. Finally, we identified populations of basalt clasts and porphyritic clasts of undetermined composition by their morphologic and textural characteristics; basalts are confirmed by geochemical data provided by ChemCam.
Schizophrenia
Authors: Hoftman Gil D , Lewis David A
Published: October 2013

Schizophrenia has a long history of misunderstanding that continues to challenge clinicians and researchers today. This devastating disease is surprisingly common, affecting approximately half to 1% of the world's population. Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric syndrome characterised by psychotic symptoms (e.g., delusions and hallucinations), emotional dysregulation, and deficits in attention and short‐term memory. This syndrome results from a complex interplay between environmental factors and genetic susceptibility, and is typically treated with antipsychotic medications and psychosocial therapies. Substantial evidence suggests that schizophrenia is a disorder of neurodevelopment and that psychotic symptoms may actually represent a late stage of the illness process, not the onset.

Key Concepts:

Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric syndrome characterised by delusions and hallucinations, emotional dysregulation and cognitive dysfunction.

Schizophrenia is caused by a complex interplay of environmental factors and inherited genetic susceptibility.

Schizophrenia is now considered to be a neurodevelopmental disorder in which psychosis represents a late, and potentially preventable, outcome of the illness.

The neurobiological basis of schizophrenia includes widespread impairments in cortical and subcortical neural circuits including the prefrontal cortex and alterations in a variety of neurotransmitter systems.

Schizophrenia is mainly treated with antipsychotic medications and psychosocial therapies.
