Perceived Impact of COVID-19 and Other Factors on STEM Students’ Career Development
Authors: Desrochers Marcie , Naybor Deborah , Kelting Daniel
Published: January 2021

In early 2020, colleges shifted abruptly from traditional in-person to remote distant instruction due to COVID-19 potentially exacerbating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students’ recruitment and retention. This preliminary study using survey methodology was conducted with STEM students at a small (700 students) private college to examine questions related to students’ perceptions of natural science careers, career decision-making factors, barriers influencing students’ career path, including effects of COVID-19 on career goals, mental health, and perceived quality of instruction. A Qualtrics® survey was sent to 180 STEM students, from which we received 53 responses (29.4% response rate). Consistent with other studies, family was one of the most important factors supporting their career path. Students had a relatively upbeat career outlook despite being in the middle of a global pandemic and were only moderately worried about the impact of COVID-19 on their future career. Despite these relatively positive outcomes, the abrupt switch to online instruction was viewed unfavorably by most respondents, who valued the hands-on learning experiences obtained with traditional in-person instruction. It is possible that respondents’ views of online instruction may improve over time as instructors become more adept at using new instructional tools. Future research should evaluate this aspect and whether students’ career goals change across time as the pandemic unfolds.

Published: January 2021

Occupational gender segregation in Finland is high and persistent in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Previous research has concluded that, rather than differences in aptitude, gendered educational and vocational choices originate from more complex system of attitudes, self-concepts, motivations and both direct and indirect social influences, all of which shape young people’s future goals. In the sphere of social influences on career choice, parents play a special role in adolescents’ education and career exploration. This study explores two interrelated areas: firstly, the ideas expressed by Finnish adolescent children’s parents about the role of gender in education and career choices, and secondly, parent-child discussions about such ideas, especially with regard to STEM career pathways. The research data (N=103) was collected by means of an online survey. Almost half of the parents reported having had discussions about STEM careers with their children. Problematically, many parents considered that they had too little information about these careers. Our results indicate that mothers are more aware of the societal and individual consequences of occupational gender segregation than fathers are. The results also suggest that parents should be provided with up-to-date information on STEM careers and on the consequences of occupational gender segregation in order to enhance parents’ readiness to support their children in their future exploration of education and careers. Greater collaboration between homes, career counseling, teachers and relevant organizations concerned with the economic world, working life and entrepreneurship would be beneficial in promoting awareness of these aspects during adolescents’ career development.
USING VISUAL ARTS TO ENHANCE ENGLISH POETRY COMPREHENSION FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE STUDENTS
Authors: Kusumawardani Irene , Novita Dian
Published: January 2021

Poetry as a genre of literature is required subject for students of English Language and Literature in Higher Education in general. However, compared to other genres such as drama and prose, poetry is often found as the most challenging subject to teach and to learn. Even though English poetry has been taught in many non-native countries for many years, traditional approach which is textual has dominated the teaching of poetry in classroom. Based on the experience and knowledge, the writers found that the problem of learning English poetry for foreign language students is due to its complex language and infamous interest amongst the students as well as the teachers. Therefore, the teaching of poetry should enliven the learning atmosphere and envision the figure of speech of the poem, which are commonly found to be difficult to be done by the students. According to D.H. Kehl, there is somehow interconnection between poetry and visual arts. Poetry and visual arts have almost the same characteristic in conveying arts. Poetry use verbal imagery while painting use visual imagery. Considering the existing connection of the two aspects, this library research study proposes the use of visual arts in order to enhance students’ comprehension of poetry given in classroom.

Carcinoma neuroendocrino primario de la glándula mamaria, reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura
Authors: Bonilla-González Carlos Eduardo , Russi-Noguera July Andrea , Gómez Carolina , Lasso Miller
Published: January 2021

El carcinoma neuroendocrino primario de la glándula mamaria pertenece al grupo de tumores neuroendocrinos de la mama. Dada su baja incidencia, la mayor parte de la literatura se basa en series de casos, por lo tanto, su comportamiento biológico y pronóstico muestra resultados divergentes. Su característica principal es el hallazgo histopatológico de la expresión dual en el tumor de marcadores epiteliales y neuroendocrinos en mayor o menor grado que, en algunos casos, inclusive pueden coexistir en la misma célula.  Se presenta el caso de una mujer con diagnóstico de carcinoma neuroendocrino de la mama, con una revisión de la literatura sobre las características clínicas y opciones de manejo.

Compassion ou respiration ?
Authors: Aubé Sophie , Bégin Catherine , Leblanc Valérie , Goulet Sonia
Published: January 2021

La méditation pour promouvoir la santé psychologique suscite de l’intérêt et il y a lieu d’examiner si l’impact varie selon l’objet de l’attention. Cette étude compare les effets des méditations sur le souffle (MS) et de compassion (MC) sur la compassion, le stress, les affects et la pleine conscience, chez une population non clinique, féminine et universitaire. Seize volontaires assignées aléatoirement entre deux groupes reçoivent comme consignes de pratiquer la MS ou la MC individuellement 20 minutes, six jours par semaine, pendant trois semaines consécutives, au moyen d’instructions écrites. Les mesures pré-test et post-test comprennent un journal de bord et des questionnaires auto-rapportés. Comparativement au Groupe MS, le Groupe MC montre une plus grande augmentation de la compassion et des affects positifs, une diminution plus élevée du stress perçu et des affects négatifs, mais une augmentation moindre de la pleine conscience. Tous ces résultats s’avèrent non significatifs, bien qu’une augmentation significative du niveau de pleine conscience ressorte au deuxième temps de mesure par rapport au niveau de base pour les deux groupes combinés. Ce rapport aborde les limites et contributions de l’étude en regard de la promotion du mieux-être psychologique chez la population d’intérêt au moyen des pratiques méditatives ciblées.
Effet de l'intensité du traitement sur le maintien des gains dans le traitement de l'aphasie post-AVC
Authors: Bouvier Liziane , Coulombe Valérie , Monetta Laura
Published: January 2021

Déterminer l’intensité optimale, en fréquence, en durée et en quantité de stimuli, d’un traitement orthophonique pour l’aphasie après un accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC) est un défi pour les cliniciens qui souhaitent maximiser l’efficience du traitement, car, à ce jour, les données scientifiques sur le sujet sont inconstantes. Certaines études semblent montrer des gains plus importants immédiatement après le traitement avec un traitement intensif plutôt qu’un non intensif, mais l’influence de l’intensité du traitement sur le maintien de ces gains dans le temps demeure encore plus nébuleuse. L’objectif de cette revue systématique est de vérifier s’il existe une différence entre l’efficacité d’un traitement intensif et celle d’un traitement non intensif dans le maintien des gains en aphasie après un AVC. Une recherche systématique dans quatre bases de données principales et dans la bibliographie des articles pertinents a permis d’identifier sept articles (total de 239 participants aphasiques [âge moyen de 67,15 ans; 0,1 à 225 mois post-AVC]) correspondant aux critères de sélection. La force de l’évidence a été mesurée en fonction de la qualité méthodologique des articles. Les résultats de cette revue suggèrent un maintien équivalent des gains avec les deux intensités thérapeutiques. D’autres variables et paramètres de traitement pourraient influencer ces résultats. Différentes théories sont abordées concernant la manière dont l’efficacité pourrait être différente en fonction des paramètres d’intensité, des approches utilisées et des mesures d’efficacité. Les variables à considérer pour des recherches ultérieures sont mises en évidence.

Published: January 2021

Cette étude porte sur la relation d’aide offerte par vidéoconférence et l’impact de cette modalité sur les niveaux de présence thérapeutique et d’empathie en comparaison avec la modalité face à face. L’association entre ces variables est aussi étudiée. Vingt-quatre dyades de participants ayant le rôle de client ou de thérapeute ont pris part à deux séances de relation d’aide, soit une en face à face ainsi qu’une en vidéoconférence. Des niveaux significativement plus élevés de présence thérapeutique ont été perçus par les clients dans la condition en face à face, mais pas pour le groupe des thérapeutes. Les niveaux d’empathie n’étaient pas significativement différents dans les deux groupes. Également, l’association entre la présence thérapeutique et l’empathie était significative dans les deux modalités seulement pour le groupe thérapeute. Il semble possible de conclure que la vidéoconférence peut affecter différemment l’expérience de la présence thérapeutique et de l’empathie selon le rôle du participant. Les résultats obtenus permettent de préciser les différences et les similarités ressenties entre la relation d’aide en face à face et en vidéoconférence, qui représente un enjeu dans l’accès aux services en santé mentale. Les résultats permettront également de comprendre davantage les processus communs que semblent sous-tendre la présence thérapeutique et l’empathie.

Abstract. This article is the result of a campaign done during the
COVID-19 lockdown in Catalonia. The Television of Catalonia audience was
involved in an action to inform about the weather from their own homes by
posting Twitter videos. Some of the videos were shown on air in the weather
segment of the television station's main news programs. We have correlated
participation in the campaign with meteorological and public health data and
found that weather is related to the mood of people when using social media platforms such as Twitter.
Towards resolving the complex paramagnetic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum of small laccase: assignments of resonances to residue-specific nuclei
Authors: Dasgupta Rubin , Gupta Karthick B. S. S. , de Groot Huub J. M. , Ubbink Marcellus
Published: January 2021

Abstract. Laccases efficiently reduce dioxygen to water in an active site containing a tri-nuclear copper centre (TNC). The dynamics of the protein matrix is a
determining factor in the efficiency in catalysis. To probe mobility, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is highly suitable. However, several factors complicate the assignment of resonances to active site nuclei in laccases. The paramagnetic nature causes large shifts and line broadening. Furthermore, the presence of
slow chemical exchange processes of the imidazole rings of copper ligand
results in peak doubling. A third complicating factor is that the enzyme occurs in two states, the native intermediate (NI) and resting oxidized (RO)
states, with different paramagnetic properties. The present study aims at
resolving the complex paramagnetic NMR spectra of the TNC of Streptomyces coelicolor small laccase
(SLAC). With a combination of paramagnetically tailored NMR experiments, all
eight His Nδ1 and Hδ1 resonances for the NI state are
identified, as well as His Hβ protons for the RO state. With the help
of second-shell mutagenesis, selective resonances are tentatively assigned to the histidine ligands of the copper in the type-2 site. This study
demonstrates the utility of the approaches used for the sequence-specific assignment of the paramagnetic NMR spectra of ligands in the TNC that
ultimately may lead to a description of the underlying motion.

A Defense of Locke’s Moral Epistemology
Authors: Hardy Jamie
Published: January 2021

In An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, John Locke provides an empirical account of all of our ideas, including our moral ideas. However, Locke’s account of moral epistemology is difficult to understand leading to mistaken objections to his moral epistemological theory. In this paper, I offer what I believe to be the correct account of Locke’s moral epistemology. This account of his moral epistemology resolves the objections that morality is not demonstrable, that Locke’s account fails to demonstrate the normativity of statements, and that Locke has not provided us with the means to determine the correctness of the moral rules.
European Identity and the Challenges of Turkish Accession to the European Union
Authors: Duodu Sara
Published: January 2021

In 2005, Turkey entered into negotiations for membership with the European Union. Turkey has been an important strategic ally to the European Union in the Middle East, explaining the mutual desire for closer ties between the two. While these negotiations showed promise early on, it has become increasingly apparent that Turkish accession to the European Union will not come easily, if at all. Officially, the European Union cites Turkey’s shortcomings on issues such as human rights as the reason for the stall in negotiations. However, upon closer inspection, it is evident that there is more at play, particularly as the European Union has been inconsistent in their approach to addressing human rights violations. Member states such as Poland and Hungary, which have recent human rights violations, have not faced the same kind of condemnation that Turkey has from the leaders of the European Union. The reality is that the European Union is largely united by its shared Europeanness and Christianity. As a result, due to questions over Turkey’s Europeanness and its large Muslim majority, the European Union is apprehensive to afford it full membership. It can be said that the European Union has maintained that Turkish accession is still possible in order to continue reaping the strategic benefits from close relations with Turkey.
Reframing the Present
Authors: Luoma-Uhlik Lucas
Published: January 2021

Since the 2013-14 Euromaidan protest movement and the ousting of the pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych and his administration, Ukraine has been embroiled in a political crisis both domestically and with its neighbour, Russia. Namely, the Ukrainian state has lost the Crimean Peninsula to a Russian military incursion and remains engaged in the local Donbas War against pro-Russian insurrectionists. Alongside these events, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s administration has been waging an information war against Ukraine through its employment of Russian state media. In doing so, Russian state media has revived and internationalized Soviet historical narratives of the Great Patriotic War, discrediting the present Ukrainian state by associating it with historic examples of fascism. Thus, this paper argues that contemporary Russian attempts to reframe Ukrainian national history along a Russo-Soviet narrative, without consideration for the more authentically Ukrainian nationalist narrative, is irrespective of the Ukrainian historical experience and is a dangerous abuse of Great Patriotic War imagery in the present. Considering the legacy of the former imperial relationship between Russia and Ukraine, and the Russian state’s current interest in restoring bygone prestige, this dimension of the current threat to Ukrainian sovereignty should not be ignored.
Música e Educação: antigas questões, novos desafios.
Authors: Requião Luciana
Published: January 2021

O texto busca debater a questão da formação do professor de música frente aos desafios impostos pela Lei 11.769/08, que dispõe sobre a obrigatoriedade do ensino de música nas escolas de ensino básico como componente curricular obrigatório da disciplina artes. O veto ao artigo 2° da lei, que previa a necessidade de formação específica para o professor de música, acirra o antigo debate sobre a qualificação necessária ao profissional que será o responsável pelo ensino de música nas escolas. Através de estudo de caso em escolas da Costa Verde Sul Fluminense, observamos que a educação musical é percebida na maioria das vezes como um componente auxiliar para outras disciplinas ou como um elemento lúdico desprovido de conteúdos específicos, o que torna confusa a concepção de quem seria esse professor. Não obstante a falta de recursos materiais e humanos, tal realidade aponta para a necessidade de ações educativas que qualifiquem todo o processo histórico em que a educação musical passa a ser reconhecida como área de conhecimento específico. Assim, buscamos destacar que a Lei 11.769/08 necessita de ações que a torne possível, e que para isso é necessário uma investigação mais profunda sobre a realidade das escolas brasileiras.
Interações em momentos de brincadeira: um estudo com crianças de 3 anos em escola de Educação Infantil
Authors: Duarte Camila Tanure , Nono Maévi Anabel
Published: January 2021

Neste artigo, apresenta-se uma pesquisa de Iniciação Científica concluída, com bolsa FAPESP, desenvolvida no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2011, que teve como objetivo investigar as formas pelas quais crianças e adultos de uma escola de Educação Infantil interagiam nos momentos de brincadeiras. Ao investigar as interações que ocorriam na escola, pretendia-se focalizar, entre outros aspectos, aqueles relativos à formação da professora para interagir com crianças e para propiciar a interação entre elas nos momentos de brincadeiras. Tratou-se de um estudo de natureza qualitativa, realizado em uma escola de Educação Infantil localizada no interior de São Paulo. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram adultos da instituição e 6 crianças de 3 anos. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram observação participante da rotina do grupo de crianças de 3 anos; entrevistas e conversas informais com as profissionais; análise de materiais/documentos que podiam revelar aspectos referentes ao objeto de estudo. Dados obtidos e analisados sugeriram que a professora valoriza e incentiva as interações entre as crianças – e das crianças com ela e outros adultos – nos momentos de brincadeiras, onde constroem sua identidade e autonomia, desenvolvem a linguagem oral, resolvem conflitos, tomam decisões, interpretam e analisam o mundo.
Quem são os professores da Educação Infantil? Um estudo a partir do Programa PROINFANTIL. DOI: 10.5212/OlharProfr.v.16i1.0002

O objetivo deste estudo é traçar o perfil dos professores cursistas participantes do PROINFANTIL, um programa do MEC em parceria com universidades federais, estados e municípios, que habilita no Ensino Médio, modalidade normal, o profissional de Educação Infantil em exercício. Também analisa as contribuições do programa para seu público alvo. A coleta de dados teve como base um instrumento adaptado do “Questionário do Professor” construído pela Fundação Carlos Chagas. O tratamento dos dados valeu-se do programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences – SPSS. A análise dos dados teve como referencial teórico os estudos atuais sobre a formação docente. Como resultados, traçamos um perfil socioeconômico, profissional e cultural dos sujeitos envolvidos. Levantamos seus vínculos trabalhistas, identificamos as concepções de Educação Infantil subjacentes às práticas exercidas nos diversos municípios. Assim, observamos que a identidade do professor de Educação Infantil ainda se encontra permeada por um caráter assistencialista, especialmente para o atendimento das crianças de 0 a 3 anos. As evidências apontam uma compreensão dessa profissão como ofício, ou seja, própria de um profissional do sexo feminino, pautada pelos saberes da experiência – fortemente relacionados ao cunho doméstico e centrados no cuidado (Campos, 2002). Entretanto, observamos que a participação no PROINFANTIL alterou o trabalho dos participantes, que buscaram, com a elaboração de planejamentos e de registros das atividades, uma forma de ultrapassar a prática centrada apenas no cuidado. Com essa inovação, os professores cursistas iniciaram uma mudança no contexto institucional, introduzindo conhecimentos e competências que anteriormente não se faziam presentes.

Published: January 2021

African American Heritage a database for African American family history research, provided by ProQuest. Here, the user has access to a wide variety of military, birth, marriage, cohabitation, death, and census records. Also included are records from the Freedman’s Bank and various
registers of slaves and free(d) persons of color. The former was a bank chartered by the federal government to encourage and guide the economic development of African American communities in the period following the end of slavery in the U.S. The latter refers to records, maintained by a number
of states prior to 1865, of slaves and free(d) persons of color. Also available to the user are contacts to a community of genealogy researchers, who can provide assistance and mentoring. The readability of the documents available here can vary. Some are too faded to read easily, even with
magnification, and others are handwritten, which can make them difficult to interpret. Navigating, enlarging, and reducing documents can be done without difficulty, though the range of movement and magnification is somewhat limited. Documents can be browsed and/or searched for by title, author,
publisher, date, subject, language (although, at present, English is the only language available), surname and personal name, and location.The search and browse options here are understandable and can produce useful results, though the number produced by any one query is usually not extensive,
so multiple queries may be needed for any research project. Pricing for this database is determined by library or school size and the number of potential users, and consortia discounts are available (contact ProQuest for a specific price quote). Its licensing agreement is the same as those
used for all ProQuest databases, and in its length and composition is quite average. The quality and quantity of content in this resource is not exceptional, but it will certainly be of use to those researching African American family history, and more generally Africana Studies, especially
in the states indicated in this review.

Person to Organization Fit & Person to the Job Fit Impact on Employment Interview Decisions. An Exploratory Field Study in Greece
Authors: Dimopoulos Andreas , Evaggelos Drimpetas , Zafiropoulos Kostas
Published: January 2021

Person to organization fit and person to the job fit are considered among many other factors that affect employment outcomes during employee selection process. There is a consensus to a large extent, that both of them as candidate’s qualities have great positive influence and affect recruiters, personnel managers and employers’ decisions, and respectively hiring results. This study aims to assess the level of influence of employee candidates’ qualities of Person-to-Organization fit and Person-to-the Job fit, and their relative affect in recruiters’ hiring decisions on staff selection through interview process. The study also aims to explore if there is a significant difference between the effects that these factors have on hireability-selectability of candidates. The significance of candidate’s Person to Organization Fit and Person to the Job Fit were measured according to three choices of recruiter’s decisions during interview, which were more specifically the possibility to hire them, the possibility to consider them as suitable for the position they applied for, and the possibility of giving them a second chance for another interview. These three measures were consolidated in one indicator with the term hireability-eligibility which has been tested for reliability using Cronbach’s alpha. A field study has been conducted in order to research the importance and relative influence of candidates’ person to organization fit and person to the job fit as well, in recruiters’ hiring decisions, during interview selection process. Findings reveal that both of these candidates’ attributes, Person to Organization fit and Person to the Job fit, have significant effects on recruiters’ decisions and selection outcomes, regarding the hireabilty, eligibility index when they are assessed separately, using simple regression analysis. However, when they are combined in a multiple regression analysis model, only Person to Organization fit has a significant effect on recruiters, employers’ decisions.
Biotechnology and the Socioeconomic Forms in Chinese Science Fiction
Authors: Zou Li
Published: January 2021

Under the impact of technology globalization, cosmopolitan concerns about how futuristic technology transforms socioeconomic forms become important themes in contemporary Chinese science fiction narrative. After examining the role of clone and organ transplant technology in reshaping the bioeconomic mechanism in the fictional “J country” and the reproductive framework across the world in two example stories, namely, Wang Jinkang's “The Reincarnated Giant” and “The Last Love,” I argue that biotechnology in the Chinese science fiction reshapes the politics of life and power dynamics in the society and transforms the socioeconomic institutions from one based on shared understanding and values into an apparatus controlled by interest-oriented rationality and technology. Although these speculative discussions about the dystopia transformation of human society show the world consciousness of Chinese science fiction writers regarding their narrative space and theme, and moves Chinese science fiction from the category of regional literature to an integral part of world literature by offering critique on cosmopolitan concerns, their emphasis of global setting and characterization poses the threat of homogenizing national cultures.
The Alienation of Spaces in Future China: The Case of Hao Jingfang's Folding Beijing
Authors: Liao Wang
Published: January 2021

In the article, the author presents a critical reading of Hao Jingfang's Folding Beijing (2012), a work that deals with the dystopian future of Beijing and the city dwellers' living condition. Adopting the concepts of “abstract space” and “differential space” as theorized in Henri Lefebvre's work, the author argues that the alienation of urban space is manifested in the form of three abstract spaces, which leads to the homogeneity of landscape, human mentality, and the fragmentation of natural temporal cycle. Furthermore, Hao's depiction of future Beijing's urban structure is her inquiry into the social issues caused by the current technology-driven production method. The protagonist's metaphorical journey from Third Space to Second and First Space shows that people always struggle for a differential space filled with hope and love by transgressing and resisting the imposed borders and norms of their respective spaces.

Published: January 2021

Introducción: Las infecciones asociadas a la atención sanitaria en el neonato se relacionan con el aumento de la morbilidad, mortalidad y prolongada estancia hospitalaria. El Hospital Nacional San Juan de Dios de San Miguel, reporto de 2008 a 2013 una tasa de infección de 3.1%, siendo necesario mejorar las medidas preventivas. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la variación de la tasa de infecciones en los neonatos atendidos con medidas preventivas mejoradas, en comparación con medidas preventivas convencionales. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio prospectivo de intervención en la unidad de cuidados intensivos y servicio de neonatología durante 2014 a 2019. Antes y después se evaluó la tasa anual, identificando los casos de la vigilancia de IAAS en neonatos ingresados. La intervención consistió en mejorar las medidas preventivas dirigidas al usuario, personal de salud y el entorno. Resultados: La tasa promedio de IAAS en ambos servicios presento una variación, reduciendo de 3.1% de 2008 a 2013 a 1.6% (p<0,3) de 2014 a 2019. Conclusiones: las acciones de mejora en prevención de IAAS, planificadas teniendo en cuenta sus causas y en coordinación con los tomadores de decisiones, inciden efectivamente en su incidencia.
Once Again, the Propagandist Media Played it Right and Won by a Knockout-Coverage of George Floyd’s Murder Constitutes the Last Nail in Trump’s Coffin
Authors: Yaseen Aysar Tahseen
Published: January 2021

At first it was the coronavirus briefings held at the White House and lead by the U.S. president Donald Trump. In these briefings and with the help of certain intrinsic and known-to-the public characteristics of the president’s personality such as the love of power, authority and control, appreciation of dictatorship, arrogance, and self-aggrandizing, the media managed to portray the president as a person with modest or even poor communication skills, a bigot, a self-congratulatory, a liar, a self-opinionated, and a self-righteous. Second, it was George Floyd’s murder as a result of the brutality of four white police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota which overtook the nationwide pandemic, the coronavirus. Floyd’s grievous death sparked waves of protests in major cities nationwide, and instead of standing up for his citizen’s rights, Trump turned a blind eye to this heinous crime. Furthermore, Trump failed verbally and nonverbally to address the grieving nation and to show empathy and solidarity with the victim and his family. His words did not match the grave and horrific situation, and his voice tone and his facial expressions failed to pacify the irate public. The media outlets were there to expose Trump’s deadly mishaps and glitches not just to the American public but to the whole world. With the help of the media, American people were able to detect the fallacy of his arguments and claims. These outlets were happy to dedicate hundreds of hours of live coverage in its quest to pave the way for Trump’s demise and fall.

Published: January 2021

Conventional cropping systems on sandy soils require continuous application of large amounts of external nutrients and irrigation water yet remain vulnerable to loses of these inputs. Within the state of Florida, need exists to provide farmers with economically viable alternatives that harness ecological processes and improve soil health and biodiversity. Cover crops are proving to be vital in the development of soil health. As part of this study we conducted a comprehensive on-farm assessment involving nine collaborative growers (ten farms) across the state; with each individual farm following its unique cover-cropping practice. Our goal was to shadow their practice and determine its effect on soil health indicators such as soil pH, bulk density (BD), maximum water holding capacity (MWHC), organic matter (OM), active carbon, cation exchange capacity, soil protein, Total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), total phosphorus (TP), Mehlich-3 P (M3P) and potassium (M3K). Compared to fallow, soil OM, MWHC, and soil protein showed increases in cover crop fields for most farms, which presented a positive change towards building up soil health. Although soil TKN level was significantly decreased due to cover crops, soil protein level building up over time was the most positive change for soil health. M3K decreased in cover-crop fields, which indicated that supplementary K would be necessary prior to planting subsequent cash crops.
