Why moist dynamic processes matter for the sub-seasonal prediction of atmospheric blocking over Europe
Authors: Wandel Jan Lucas , Büeler Dominik , Knippertz Peter , Quinting Julian F. , Grams Christian Michael
Published: August 2023

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models still struggle to
correctly predict and represent atmospheric blocking over the European
region (EuBL). In recent years, there has been growing evidence that
latent heat release in midlatitude weather systems such as warm conveyor
belts (WCBs) contribute significantly to the onset and maintenance of
blocking anticyclones. In this study, we show that for the European
Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast’s IFS reforecasts in extended
winter (1997–2017) WCB activity around EuBL onsets becomes challenging
to predict in pentad 3 (10–14 days) and beyond. This is in line with
the short overall WCB forecast skill horizon of around 10 days and
partly explains low EuBL skill in NWP models. However, we also show
cases in which accurate WCB and EuBL forecasts are possible even in
pentad 4 (15–19 days). These cases are associated with accurate WCB
forecasts over the North Atlantic and North Pacific pointing towards a
teleconnection between the two. Lastly, we find that WCB activity over
the North Atlantic emerges way before the block is established and
different pathways into EuBL exist in the reforecasts which are
characterised by a westward shift of the main WCB inflow and outflow
region compared to reanalysis. We conclude that despite intrinsic limits
of predictability there is room to improve forecasts of EuBL onset by
improving the representation of WCB activity in NWP models.

Published: August 2023

The study was carried out at ICAR-NRCG, Pune, Maharashtra, India during November–February of 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 to evaluate the bio-efficacy of fungicides and biocontrol agents and level of tolerance against powdery mildew of grapes. Total 18 treatments categorised into three groups were taken into account. Three groups viz. fungicides, biocontrol agents (Bacillus licheniformis, Trichoderma afroharzianum, Ampelomyces quisqualis) along with metrafenone and commercial formulations of biocontrol agents were analysed for disease control. A total of five applications of each treatment were made during the growing season. Results showed that, in case of Group I (registered fungicides), Hexaconazole 5 EC @ 1 ml l-1/ Difenoconazole 25 EC @ 0.5 ml l-1/Myclobutanil 10 WP @ 0.4 g l-1/Two sprays of sulphur @ 2 g l-1 was most effective in controlling the disease. In case of pure culture, Trichoderma afroharzanium had proved to be most effective in the control of powdery mildew when sprayed in alteration with Metrafenone. In Group III, alternate applications of commercial formulations of Bacillus subtilis (2 ml l-1), Trichoderma viridae (2 g l-1),  Ampelomyces quisqualis (5 ml l-1)  and sulphur (2 g l-1) was most effective in controlling the disease. It was concluded that the application of bio-control agents in alternation with chemical fungicides controlled the disease effectively.
The Neutral Theory (Theory of Genetic Drift) and the Nearly Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution are Opposite to Evolution
Authors: Ahad Md. Abdul
Published: August 2023

The Neutral theory (also known as the theory of genetic drift) means genetic drift and vice-versa. But the Nearly Neutral theory means genetic drift plus natural selection. However, genetic drift changes the gene frequency randomly and thus it is non-additive, directionless and thus valueless for evolution. Again, genetic drift works only in small populations and thus, genetic drift means small population. But small populations have to inbreed and produce homozygous organisms. Consequently, those populations suffer from various diseases and abnormalities and finally may suddenly extinct. Moreover, any homozygous organism means zero variation, mutation-genetic drift equilibrium also creates zero variation. But variation is the raw material of evolution; so, no evolution occurs by the genetic drift. So, evolutionary biologists rejected both the genetic drift and the small populations for any kind of evolution. Hence, the Neutral theory is opposite to any kind of evolution. Again, recent experiments of ecological genetics with small populations, 12 biochemical tests, and the data of the DNA sequence, fossil evidence oppose the Neutral theory. Furthermore, the rate of evolution by the Neutral theory is equal to the rate of mutation. But mutations are opposite to any kind of evolution. So, biologists rejected the Neutral theory. As the natural selection is not justified in Nearly Neutral theory; so, Neutral theory=Nearly Neutral theory. Consequently, the rejection of the Neutral theory means the rejection of the Nearly Neutral theory. Thus, both the Neutral theory and the Nearly Neutral theory are opposite to any kind of evolution.

A field experiment was conducted during rabi seasons (December–March) of 2019–20 and 2020–21 to study the residual effect of nutrient management practices in lowland kharif rice varieties on succeeding black gram variety PU 31. The experiment was set in split plot design with four rice varieties in main plots (viz. CR 1009 sub-1, CR 1018, Pooja and Upahar) and six nutrient management practices in sub-plots [(viz. Control, 100% Recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF: 80-40-40 kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1), 50% RDF+FYM (@ 8 t ha-1), 50% RDF+Sesbania green manuring (@ 1.5 t ha-1), Rice crop manager (115.5 -32.7-52.8- 25.0 kg N, P2O5, K2O, ZnSO4 ha-1+FYM @ 3 t ha-1) and  Real time nitrogen management (RDF+customised leaf colour chart (CLCC)] and each treatment was replicated thrice. Among different nutrient management practices in rice,  rice crop manager exhibited highest number of pods plant-1 (31.3), seeds pod-1 (7.8), 1000 seed weight (39.6 g), seed yield (877 kg ha-1),  haulm yield (2512 kg ha-1), gross return (Rs. 51352 ha-1), net return (`Rs. 38947 ha-1) and return Rs.`-1 invested (`Rs. 4.14) and highest uptake of N (78.83 kg ha-1), P (7.60 kg ha-1) and K (53.09 kg ha-1) in residual black gram. This was at par with 50% RDF+FYM @ 8 t ha-1 and significantly higher than all other nutrient managements in preceding rice. So, nutrient management as per rice crop manger and 50% RDF+8 t FYM ha-1 to the preceding rice crop had significant residual influence in achieving highest yield and economic returns from succeeding black gram in rice-black gram cropping sequence.

A multi-location Experiment was conducted using 28 genotypes and two checks during the main cropping seasons of 2017 and 2018 at Kulumsa, Dhera, Melkasa, Asasa, Ilala, and Geregera in moisture-stress areas of Ethiopia to evaluate the genotype-Environment interaction effect and grain yield stability of bread wheat genotypes. The experiment was arranged in alpha lattice design replicated three times. The stability analysis was carried out for grain yield using R software. ANOVA showed a highly significant difference among genotypes and genotype×environmental interaction for traits; days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, grain yield, 1000 kernel weight. The average mean yield of the genotypes across the environments was 4.5 with the range of 3.5–5.3 t ha-1. The genotypes ETBW 9578, ETBW 9565, ETBW 9570 and ETBW 9571 were top-yielding, ideal,  and stable across the ten environments. However ETBW 9589 and Ogolcho were the low-yielding genotypes. The “which-won-where” graph categorizes the genotypes into four groups. The locations within the same group were closely correlated and share the same winning(vertex) genotype. E7 was ideal that has both discriminating abilities of the genotypes and representative of the other test environments. ETBW 9578 gave 37.7% and 39.1% yield advantage over the standard check Kingbird and local check Ogolcho, respectively. As a result the genotype ETBW 9578 was released in 2020 and designated by the variety name “Dursa”. Thus, it was concluded that the Dursa variety could be used as a stable variety for cultivation.
The Concept of Beauty in the Russian Art of the Silver Age in the Context of V. Solovyov’s the Philosophy
Authors: Zakharova Victoria
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this article is to reveal the infl uence of V. Solovyov’s philosophy on the formation of the concept of beauty in Russian literature and painting of the Silver Age. The object of this study is the prose of B.K. Zaitsev and, I.S. Shmelev, as well as the paintings by V.E. Borisov-Musatov and M. Vrubel. It is established that the philosopher’s assertion that the concept of beauty was fundamental in the harmonious Divine world order had special impact on the consciousness of his contemporaries; the author reveals the meaning and signifi cance of the phenomenon of Eternal Femininity in the views of V. Solovyov and, following him, in those of the artists of the word and brush. In the philosopher's worldview the author highlights the importance of the closest interdependence of the aesthetic and ethical principles of being, organically refl ected in Russian art, which combined Beauty and Goodness since ancient times.
Combination of the Noncompatible: K.P. Pobedonostsev and the Cultural Figures of the Silver Age
Authors: Polunov Alexander
Published: August 2023

In the article the author examines the attitude of the main actors of the Silver Age culture to the Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod K.P. Pobedonostsev, one of the most famous conservative statesmen of that time, as well as the perception of this era by Pobedonostsev himself. The author demonstrates that the interest of writers, artists and publicists at the turn of the century to this fi gure was caused by their desire to fi nd a living, fi gurative and symbolic embodiment of autocratic statehood. The head of the clerical department, who played a signifi cant role in the political life of Russia in the 1880s – early 1900s, stubbornly blocking attempts at liberal reforms throughout this period, was the best suited for the role of such an incarnation. There were also certain ideological prerequisites for the cooperation of certain cultural fi gures of the Silver Age with the Chief Procurator. Those prerequisites were associated with their general dislike for the ideological legacy of the 1860s and 1870s, the principles of utilitarianism, positivism and sociopolitical radicalism. However, in the end, such cooperation did not become long and lasting, since the activities of Pobedonostsev were based on fundamentally different worldview principles than those of the Silver Age cultural fi gures.
D.A. Khomyakov’s Social Philosophy
Authors: Darenskiy Vitaliy
Published: August 2023

In the article the author examines the social philosophy of D.A. Khomyakov, which is a theoretical explication of the “Orthodoxy. Autocracy. Nationality” formula. The author shows that in this formula Orthodoxy is interpreted not only as a system of dogmas, canons and traditions, but as an integral worldview of the people, formed by this system for many centuries. Accordingly, nationality and autocracy are not something external to Orthodoxy, but constitutes the forms of its concrete historical embodiment in the life of the people. Such understanding of “Uvarov’s formula” gives it a universal meaning, not tied to a specifi c era, but indicating the “ideal” principles of the life of Orthodox people, which cannot always be realized, but are a kind of “canon” of the historical existence of Russia. Proceeding form this, D.A. Khomyakov gives an Orthodox interpretation of a number of “issues” of modernity: about the social system, culture, science, feminism, etc.
Russian Revolution and the Issue of Culture in Mikhail Rostovtsev’s Treatise “Society and Economy in the Roman Empire”
Authors: Teslya Andrey
Published: August 2023

Mikhail Ivanovich Rostovtsev (1870 – 1952) was one of the well-known Russian, and since 1920ies – American, historians of antiquity who contributed substantially to various areas of antiquity studies. Furthermore, politics and public activity were very important for him not only as the subject of study and analysis with reference to the distant past, but were also the sphere of his direct activities during many years: he was a member of the Constitutional Democratic Party (Popular Freedom Party) since 1905, and in 1917 he was member of the committee managing the party printing plant, and when in emigration was elected the party Central Committee member. In his publicism he many times ardently touched on various aspects of Russian revolution and post-revolutionary reality. In the present article the author attempts to interpret the key theses of Rostovtsev in his fundamental work “Society and Economy in the Roman Empire” devoted to the crises in the 3d century A.D which he termed revolution, from the point of view of his understanding of Russian revolution and the its results and consequences. In the long run the authors believe that the comparison of the two revolutions send us to the implicit vision of the existing tension between “high culture” and the “masses”, and they attempt to explicitly state this vision.
The Silver Age and Its Educational Foundation
Authors: Lyubzhin Alexey
Published: August 2023

In the article the author examines the role of classic gymnasium in the education of the leading fi gures of the Silver Age. The selection of most prominent fi gures (six representatives from each of the four groups, - symbolist poets, non-symbolist poets, prose writers and around-literary fi gures (patrons of art, publishers, essayists) shows that classic gymnasium was the dominating type of their education. A proportionally similar role belonged to the cadet schools (the smaller number of representatives can be explained by the smaller number of this type of educational institutions); such institution types as real gymnasiums and theological seminaries were much less represented. The most prominent educational institution of the classic type was L.I. Polivanov’s Moscow private gymnasium. From the above it can be concluded that in contemporary Russia, where respective educational institutions are lacking, the cultural heyday comparable to that of the Silver Age, is not possible

Leptospirosis is an infectious disease of zoonotic significance, caused by distinct members of the genus Leptospira, with a broad spectrum of hosts, including domestic and wild animals. The present paper reports the seroprevalence of leptospirosis among captive Asian elephants in Kerala. Whole blood samples were collected from fifty, apparently healthy captive elephants from different districts of Kerala state. The serum was separated from the whole blood and subjected to the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) for detection of antibodies to different serovars of Leptospira. The test was carried out using actively grown cultures of twelve common leptospiral serovars. Out of the total of fifty serum samples screened by MAT, 19 samples (38 per cent) showed a positive reaction with antibody titres in a 1:200 dilution. The prevalent serovars were Pomona, Icterohaemorrhagiae, Hebdomadis, Grippotyphosa and Canicola, and the highest prevalence was noticed for the serovar Pomona. The positive results indicated the presence of infection or the previous exposure of captive elephants to leptospiral antigens. The high rate of prevalence of leptospiral antibodies in captive elephants warrants the monitoring of these animals for clinical disease and adopting the necessary control strategies for preventing this re-emerging zoonotic disease.

Published: August 2023

Chromosomal aberrations comprise an abnormal number of chromosomes as well as changes in the structure of the chromosomes. Aberrations in the structure of chromosomes, such as gaps and breaks in chromatids and chromosomes, acentric fragments, telomeric associations, deletions, early chromatid-separation and large scale effects, such as pulverized metaphases, and sticky metaphases. In this study, the effect of Mitomycin C, a recognized clastogen on human lymphocytes, was assayed in cultures of canine lymphocytes, an animal species that is flourishing in comparative medicine. Blood cultures were performed on samples from a male and a female dog. Cytotoxicity using the mitotic index and genotoxicity testing were performed with 0.25 µg/ml Mitomycin C. The total chromosomal aberrations were significantly higher due to the effect of Mitomycin C (P=0.0247). The number of chromatid breaks nearly quintupled, while pulverized metaphases were found to be six times more frequent, and endoduplicated cells were three times higher than in negative control cultures. The quantitatively most relevant chromosomal aberration was the presence of sticky metaphases, related to adverse effects in chromatin proteins. The potential use of canine lymphocytes for chromosomal aberration assay is emphasized in the evaluation or re-evaluation of the genotoxic in vitro effect of xenobiotics, to evidence chromosomal damage.

Pancasila is the cornerstone of national and state ideology in the affairs of the country and state. The Indonesian populace still does not comprehend the significance of the values included in Pancasila, which prevents its proper implementation. Spreading the nation's ideals involves education in a significant way. Throughout Indonesia, the implementation of education must be a means to promote Pancasila values as well as an antidote to foreign values that are anti-Pancasila. This study analyzes Regional Regulation Number 1 Central Java Education Implementation in Central Java in 2019 as a means to socialize Pancasila values. To address these issues, legal research techniques are employed. the material was obtained through literature research and analyzed qualitatively. Conclusions are made using the deductive method. based on data analysis it can be concluded that the Central Java Regional Regulation No. 1/2019 is generally not against Pancasila values, but this Perda requires revision of the preamble and some articles to make it a more effective tool for implementing Pancasila. value for society.

Published: August 2023

The decline in the earth's climate was the cause for the birth of the 2015 Paris Agreement which was ratified by Indonesia through Law Number 16 of 2016 concerning the Paris Agreement on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as a form of commitment from the government to address climate problems in Indonesia. One of the strategic efforts made by the government is to implement a carbon tax policy to reduce the increase in carbon emissions which was accommodated in Article 13 of Law Number 7 of 2021 concerning Harmonization of Tax Regulations. The implementation of a carbon tax policy is an implementation of Pancasila economic principles which focus on creating sustainable economic development by harmonizing the balance between economic growth and improving environmental quality. The implementation of the carbon tax policy is also a manifestation of the fifth precept of Pancasila which aims to fulfill the constitutional rights of the people as stipulated in Article 28H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia by creating corrective justice in the economic and environmental fields. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the application of carbon tax policies in order to achieve the goals of sustainable economic development in Indonesia. The writing method used is juridical-normative using statutory and conceptual approaches. The data used is secondary data through literature study on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results of this paper show that the implementation of carbon tax policies is in line with Pancasila economic principles and is a strategic effort in creating a green investment climate, as well as increasing state revenue from the tax sector. However, strengthening is needed in terms of substance, structure, and legal culture in implementing the policy.

"Static code analyzer tools can detect several programming mistakes, that would lead to run-time errors. Such tools can also detect violations of the conventions and guidelines of the given programming language. Thus, the feedback provided by these tools can be valuable for both students and instructors in computer science education. In our paper, we evaluated over 5000 student submissions from the last two years written in C++ and C# programming languages at Eotvos Lorand University Faculty of Informatics (Budapest, Hungary), by executing various static code analyzers on them. From the findings of the analyzers, we highlight some of the most typical and serious issues. Based on these results, we argue to include static analysis of programming submissions in automated and assisted semi-automatic evaluating and grading systems at universities, as these could increase the quality of programming assignments and raise the attention of students on various otherwise missed bugs and other programming errors. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 68U99, 68Q55, 97Q70. 1998 CR Categories and Descriptors.

"The Medical Visual Question Answering problem is a joined Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing task that aims to obtain answers in natural language to a question, posed in natural language as well, regarding an image. Both the image and question are of a medical nature. In this paper we introduce DOMAS, a deep learning model that solves this task on the Med-VQA 2019 dataset. The method is based on dividing the task into smaller classification problems by using a BERT-based question classification and a unique approach that makes use of dataset information for selecting the suited model. For the image classification problems, transfer learning using a pre-trained Swin Transform based architecture is used. DOMAS uses a question classifier and seven image classifiers along with the image classifier selection strategy and achieves 0.616 strict accuracy and 0.654 BLUE score. The results are competitive with other state-of-the-art models, proving that our approach is effective in solving the presented task. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 68T45, 68T50. 1998 CR Categories and Descriptors.

"Program comprehension is a continuously important topic in computer science since the spread of personal computers, and several program comprehension models have been identified as possible directions of active code comprehension. There has been little research on how much programmers remember the code they have once written. We conducted two experiments with a group of Computer Science MSc students. In the first experiment, we examined the code comprehension strategies of the participants. The students were given a task to implement a minor feature in a relatively small C++ project. In the second experiment, we asked the students 2 months later to complete the same task again. Before starting the clock, we asked the students to fill a questionnaire which aimed to measure program code-related memory retention: we inquired about how much the students remembered the code, down to the smallest relevant details, e.g. the name of functions and variables they had to find to complete the task. After the second experiment, we could compare the solution times of those students who participated in both parts. As one result, we could see that these students could solve the task in shorter time than they did in the first experiment. We also looked at the results of the questionnaire: the vast majority of students could not precisely remember more than two or three identifiers from the original code. In this paper, we will show how this result compares to the forgetting curve. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 68U99. 1998 CR Categories and Descriptors.

Authors: Arnaiz Sánchez Pilar , Farías Bellanira , Alcaraz Salvador
Published: August 2023

El desarrollo de la educación inclusiva en los centros educativos es en la actualidad una de las mayores necesidades de los sistemas educativos si pretenden que cada alumno reciba una educación acorde a su manera de ser y estar en el mundo. En el presente trabajo se examina cómo se está abordando la educación inclusiva en un centro de educación primaria, teniendo en cuenta las opiniones y las experiencias de diferentes actores involucrados en el proceso educativo. El objetivo general consiste en analizar la respuesta educativa del centro Padre Lamarche desde la perspectiva de los maestros y del equipo directivo. Se utilizó un diseño de investigación no experimental, descriptivo, tipo encuesta. La muestra se compone de un total de 45 participantes (37 docentes y 8 miembros del equipo directivo). Para la recogida de la información se utilizaron dos cuestionarios dirigidos a cada grupo de los actores del proceso educativo mencionados. Se llevó a cabo un análisis de estadísticos descriptivos. Los resultados muestran que no todos los actores conocen la finalidad y la aplicación de la educación inclusiva, que el equipo directivo trabaja en pro de la inclusión y que el trabajo colaborativo y la indagación dialógica son estrategias que contribuyen a la implementación de la educación inclusiva. Estos hallazgos resaltan la necesidad de mejorar los esfuerzos en la promoción y la aplicación de la educación inclusiva en el país, proporcionando recomendaciones específicas para abordar estas limitaciones.
La primera propuesta de Martin Seligman acerca de la felicidad
Authors: Bastos Andrade Livia
Published: August 2023

Seligman declara, en Authentic Happiness (2002), que su principal objetivo es demostrar que es posible aumentar la felicidad auténtica, a través de acciones intencionales estudiadas por la psicología, y puestas en marcha por las personas de todo el mundo en su día a día. En efecto, en esta primera propuesta, que será posteriormente reformulada en Flourish (2011), él pone a disposición de sus lectores tres caminos o tres formas de vida que prometen conducirlos, de forma práctica, efectiva y genuina, a la felicidad anhelada. Esta nota crítica pretende presentar su propuesta resaltando ciertas conexiones e implicaciones. Se propone aquí una lectura sintética y razonada. La psicología positiva ha sido duramente criticada por diversos motivos. Al mismo tiempo, es importante tener en cuenta que Seligman y los psicólogos positivos poseen el mérito de haber impulsado el estudio de la felicidad en ámbito psicológico, considerándolo como digno de atención científica.
¿Una inteligencia artificial natural? Algunas notas sobre la biomímesis computacional de la inteligencia humana
Authors: Velázquez Fernández Héctor
Published: August 2023

Este artículo introduce el caso de que no parece plausible que la IA pueda llegar a presentarse como intercambiable con el intelecto humano, como si sus procesos pudieran pasar tan naturales como lo es nuestro ejercicio intelectual de comprensión de la realidad. El documento muestra que, aunque la IA reproduce la estructura del conocimiento humano, aún pierde la subjetividad. Y en ese sentido, la IA fuerte no podría superar al conocimiento humano, porque no es capaz de verse a sí misma como espectadora activa de sí misma, ni protagonista ni responsable de sus actos. Aunque algunos piensan que la propia del ser humano radica en una combinación dinámica de diferentes características como la corporeidad vulnerable, la racionalidad autónoma y la sociabilidad interdependiente. A la IA no le interesa imitar nuestra vulnerabilidad temporal biográfica, aunque sí le interesaría imitar la autonomía racional; y tampoco necesita la sociabilidad interdependiente.
Algunas observaciones sobre las críticas de Leibniz a la mecánica
Authors: Casales García Roberto
Published: August 2023

El objetivo principal de este artículo es analizar algunas de las críticas de Leibniz al mecanicismo, con la intención de comprender sus limitaciones, particularmente aquellas que nos ayudan a esclarecer la distinción entre las máquinas fabricadas por los seres humanos y las máquinas de la naturaleza. Para entender las críticas de Leibniz al mecanicismo, las hemos dividido en tres: 1. las críticas a la concepción cartesiana de extensión; 2. el argumento leibniziano del molino; y 3. la irreductibilidad de los seres vivos a simples máquinas o artefactos.
Las mujeres científicas como referente en la Educación Primaria. Perspectiva micropolítica
Authors: Mulero Martí Marisa , San Martín Alonso Ángel
Published: August 2023

En la presente investigación, de corte cualitativo, se analiza la responsabilidad otorgada a la dirección de un centro educativo en la toma de decisiones y gestión escolar, así como las funciones asumidas por esta, pues contribuyen a la conformación de la cultura académica y, por ende, adquiere especial responsabilidad ante la visibilidad o invisibilidad de las mujeres en los diferentes ámbitos del entorno escolar. De acuerdo con las nuevas tendencias en investigación enfocadas a analizar las relaciones sociales desde una perspectiva micropolítica, tomamos como punto de partida el análisis de la organización y gestión de un centro escolar de Educación Primaria (EP). Se realiza el análisis desde la perspectiva de género en la inclusión de las mujeres en los órganos de gestión y en los documentos que delimitan las señas de identidad escolar en tanto que garantes de la visibilidad de las mujeres científicas en las prácticas de enseñanza. Los resultados muestran que todavía existen muchos ámbitos de la vida de centro en los que las mujeres no están presentes, pese a las reformas legislativas y las iniciativas sociales promoviendo políticas de igualdad.
Organizadores curriculares y finalidades de la educación: oportunidades para la mejora docente
Authors: Beltrán-Pellicer Pablo , Martínez-Juste Sergio , Alsina Ángel
Published: August 2023

Los currículos desarrollados en España al amparo de la LOMLOE introducen importantes novedades en su arquitectura. En este artículo, se indaga en torno a diferentes elementos cruciales de dichos currículos, con el propósito de profundizar en las relaciones de estos elementos con las finalidades de la educación y reflexionar sobre lo que deberían suponer en la práctica docente. Para ello, después de describir dichas finalidades, se abordan los principales organizadores curriculares: las competencias específicas y las situaciones de aprendizaje; el diseño de actividades y la metodología; la planificación de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje; y la evaluación. Junto con un análisis de estos organizadores, se aportan ejemplos desde diversas materias, con especial énfasis en Matemáticas, para tratar de aportar algunos andamios que contribuyan a comprender las principales novedades de los currículos vigentes e incorporarlas en la práctica.  Se concluye que conocer y comprender cuáles son los principales organizadores curriculares, reflexionar sobre ellos y disponer de herramientas para adaptarlos a la práctica docente, son elementos imprescindibles para mejorarla.

Unbalanced cartilage calcification during development contributes to the formation of irregular articular surfaces as revealed by micro-CT images
Authors: Zhang Yuejiao , Zhang Jing , Xu Lingfeng , Wang Meiqing
Published: August 2023

Introduction

The histological features of irregular mandibular condylar surfaces revealed on CT images remain unknown.

Aim

In order to seek clarification, the aim of the study was to describe the histological features of irregular mandibular condylar surfaces detected on micro-CT images.

Materials and methods

Due to different modelling requirements, thirty rats were exposed to five experimental occlusal disturbance models at 6- or 8-weeks of age. Another six age-matched rats were used as controls. After 10 or 12 weeks of modelling, the mandibular condyles were sampled for micro-CT scanning and histology, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence assessment. The condyles with irregular surface signs were chosen for analysis.

Results

Based on the micro-CT images, 10 out of the 30 condyles were diagnosed as having irregular articular surfaces which typically appeared as lacunae on histological sections. The lacunae were filled with degraded cartilage, a fibrous mass, or calcified islets. Type II collagen-, type X collagen- and osterix-positive cells were observed at the side walls of the lacunae. Cleaved caspase-3-positive cells, CD90-positive cells and fibronectin-positive areas were observed inside the lacunae. However, in the subchondral bone at the lower margin of the lacunae, TRAP-positive cells were seldom observed.

Conclusions

Irregular mandibular condylar surfaces revealed by micro-CT images during development appeared to be a result of unbalanced cartilage calcification.
Study of the Tensile and Bending Stiffness Behavior of Antistatic and Antibacterial Knitted Fabrics
Authors: Asfand Norina , Daukantiene Virginija
Published: August 2023

The influence of fabric treatments, fabric structure and yarn composition on the strength, elasticity and bending stiffness behavior of developed antistatic knitted fabrics was investigated for daily wear clothing. 1×1 rib knit fabrics showed higher elongation and strength than half-Milano rib knit fabrics, with high elongation in the wale direction of the fabrics. An increase in antistatic polyester content causes an increase in the tensile strength of the fabrics. Fabric treatments were found to be highly influential with respect to the properties of the knitted fabrics developed. Dyed and softened fabrics showed lower stiffness, while the antibacterial finished group showed increased bending stiffness.
