Authors: Neetha Y  , Nath Pranjal , Krishnamurthy Shashikala P , Umapathy Kavita G
Published: September 2023

Voluntary blood donors are the mainstay of any blood donation camp, whether in a hospital or in a blood bank. Selection of such donors becomes an important element in any blood donation program. However, the spread of COVID-19 worldwide had a crippling impact on blood donations/ blood safety and had posed a huge challenge. Hence, an insight into conduction of a blood donation camp during the pandemic and analysis of reasons for donor deferral becomes highly important.

This is an observational study about a voluntary blood donation camp held for general public during the second wave of COVID-19 in a school at Kottur, Karnataka. Donor details were taken with the help of questionnaires. Procedures and safety protocols put in place during donation was noted and reasons for deferral obtained from donor questionnaires and by examination of donors was analyzed.

The blood donation camp was conducted with proper COVID-19 guidelines. A total of 105 individuals came for donation of which 37 were deferred. 6 deferrals were due to COVID-related cause, 31 deferrals were non-COVID related and overall the most common cause of deferral was hypertension.

With the help of proper safety measures, blood donation camps can be successfully conducted during pandemic like COVID-19. And the crisis for blood and its products can be met by adopting appropriate guidelines.
Role of immunohistochemistry as a real mentor in diagnostic histopathology
Authors: Agarwal Lakshmi , Ete Tumsum , Saxena Rajeev
Published: September 2023

: The goals and objectives of this study are to find out the number of cases where IHC was used to solve discrepant cases of histopathology. This gives an idea as to what percentage of cases required IHC for diagnostic evaluation.

: This research is a combined retrospective and prospective analysis of a three-year time frame, beginning in January 2017 and ending in December 2019. Only those cases of benign and malignant neoplasms which have undergone IHC in our department are part of this study. Total of 67 cases were studied using routine H&E and IHC stain. Slides were evaluated by light microscopy. Using specific monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies, paraffin sections were stained immunohistochemically (IHC) using a Peroxidase antiperoxidase (PAP) technique.

: There were a total of 23,558 biopsy reports made in the field of surgical pathology. Out of a total of 67 cases requested for IHC, 36 cases (53.7%) had histopathological diagnosis concordant with IHC diagnosis. While in 25 cases (37.31%) histopathological diagnosis was discordant with IHC diagnosis. In 6 cases (8.95%) conclusive diagnosis could not be derived.

: From this study, we concluded that IHC plays a significant role in the definitive typing and grading of tumours. When trying to characterise a tumour, it's best to use an antigenic profile of both positive and negative markers, which may be achieved by a panel method consisting of well-chosen antibodies. It also brings about the conclusion that internal and external quality control plays an important part in routine Histopathology, which should not be undermined. Both QC and IHC must be made a routine part of Histopathology. Since we began comparing histology and IHC diagnosis three years ago, we've seen a significant uptick in the quality of our performance evaluations, patient care, and general laboratory practises.

Giant lipoma of thigh – Case report of rare tumour
Authors: Saha Bijan Kumar , Saha Kaushik , Jaiswal Abhishek
Published: September 2023

Lipomas are tumours which arise from fat tissues and are most common soft tissue tumours. When lipomas turn malignant, they are known as liposarcoma. Lipomas of length greater than 10cm or weight greater than 1000 grams is defined as giant lipoma. Lipomas are mostly asymptomatic at presentation, however when enlarged they can cause symptoms like pain, difficulty in walking due to compression of underlying neurovascular structures. A male patient aged 65 years presented with non-painful swelling in the left thigh which gradually increased in size over last 6 months. The patient did not have any symptoms due to swelling. On examination the swelling was measured 20x15 cm not fixed to skin or underlying bone or soft tissues. No inguinal lymph node was palpable. Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CEMRI) of thigh showed a well circumscribed fat enhanced lesion in the anterior compartment of the left thigh which measures approximately 10.4 x 12.5 x 21.4 cm. The mass lesion was abutting & medially displacing the femoral neurovascular bundle without encasement. Core biopsy from lesion showed adipocytes with background myxoid stromal and skeletal tissue. No cellular pleomorphism mitosis or increased vascularity is evident. Patient underwent excision of tumour with intact capsule under GA via longitudinal elliptical incision. Final histopathology was reported as mature adipocyte separated by thin fibrous septa suggestive of lipoma without any evidence of lipoblasts or atypical nuclear cells. Patient does not have any recurrence after one year of follow up. Surgical excision with intact capsule is treatment of choice for lipoma. In giant lipomas malignant transformation to liposarcoma should be suspected. On imaging malignant transformation is suspected with characteristics like solid component, haemorrhage, infiltration into neurovascular structures which is confirmed on final histopathology report after excision.

Testicular mass is an important and frequently encountered finding in hospital setting. Xanthogranulomatous orchitis (XGO) is an uncommon benign lesion and an important cause of testicular mass. It should always be kept as an important differential diagnosis while evaluating testicular lesions. We report a rare case of XGO in a 45-year-old male who presented with a right scrotal swelling. A provisional diagnosis of testicular mass; suspicious of malignancy was given. Right-sided orchidectomy was done. The excised mass was sent for a detailed histopathological evaluation. On histology, a definitive diagnosis of this rare entity was made.
Metodología de aprendizaje adaptativo en el área de las matemáticas
Authors: Parra-Rojas Breyner Alexander
Published: September 2023

El aprendizaje adaptativo es un concepto que realmente no es nuevo, pero que en el último tiempo ha tenido una gran relevancia, sobre todo, por el impulso que las herramientas tecnológicas actuales le han dado. Por otra parte, diversos autores concluyen que existe una dificultad en el aprendizaje de las matemáticas, y resaltan, a partir de los resultados, que es una asignatura difícil para la mayoría de los estudiantes. En Colombia, esta dificultad se demuestra en los resultados de las últimas pruebas Saber de grado quinto, donde se evidencia que el 93 % de los estudiantes están en un nivel entre insuficiente y mínimo en las competencias de Matemáticas. En consecuencia, utilizando una metodología de investigación cuantitativa, se analiza el rendimiento académico de 51 estudiantes objeto de estudio; asimismo, los resultados son analizados desde la correlación y regresión, los cuales entregaron como resultado que la implementación de una metodología de aprendizaje adaptativo mejora el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes en cuanto al pensamiento geométrico-métrico. Finalmente, se concluye que existe una relación causal entre la variable independiente y la dependiente, ya que en la medida en que más se use y se trabaje en la plataforma de aprendizaje adaptativo, los resultados académicos se ven afectados (aumentan).
Structural analysis of a slotted flap redesigned with composite materia
Authors: Ardila-Parra Sergio Andrés , Barba-Ortega José , González-Estrada Octavio Andrés
Published: September 2023

This research focuses on assessing the mechanical strength feasibility of utilizing composite materials in the design of slotted flaps as a replacement for isotropic materials. Modern computational capabilities and software tools enable the analysis of both anisotropic and isotropic materials. However, it is imperative to consider several factors to ensure that the computational model accurately mirrors real-world scenarios. In the context of composite materials, this necessitates the comprehensive integration of anisotropic properties such as Young's modulus in different orientations, Poisson's coefficients, fiber orientation, and ply stacking. Additionally, precise delineation of each boundary condition and exploration of various simulation conditions are vital to prevent biases. To validate the developed models, they are rigorously compared with laboratory tests, establishing a robust basis for the obtained results.
The New Anthropomorphism Debate and Researching Non-Human Animal Emotions: A Kantian Approach
Authors: Białek Maja
Published: September 2023

Researchers of non-human animal emotions tend to defend some forms of anthropomorphism and seek ways to make it more critical, self-aware, and useful for scientific purposes. I propose that to achieve this goal, we need first to conduct a Kantian investigation into the deeper structure of anthropomorphism. I argue that we can distinguish at least three levels of anthropomorphising: a narrative level, a cognitive level and an in-between, metatheoretical level which is the deeper structure determining how we anthropomorphise. Because the current debate tends to focus either on the narrative level or on the cognitive level, this paper concentrates on the metatheoretical level, discusses its role in emotion research, the possible errors it may cause, and how we can work on it, drawing on predictive processing-based theories of emotions and an evolutionary approach. The key to being critical in anthropomorphism is to be aware of the complexity of this whole structure, as well as to be able to challenge and put into question all and any of its elements.

Eksperymenty myślowe w filozofii – przegląd stanowisk
Authors: Biłgorajski Piotr
Published: September 2023

Powszechność stosowania eksperymentów myślowych w filozofii sprawia, że same eksperymenty myślowe stają się coraz częstszym przedmiotem filozoficznych analiz. Różni autorzy, wychodząc od rozmaitych epistemologicznych i metafizycznych założeń, proponowali rozmaite poglądy na naturę eksperymentów myślowych. Moim celem jest krytyczna analiza tych stanowisk. W pierwszej części artykułu podaję ogólną charakterystykę eksperymentów myślowych, zakładając podobieństwo eksperymentów myślowych i eksperymentów rzeczywistych. W drugiej części omawiam obecne w literaturze propozycje typologizacji eksperymentów myślowych. W trzeciej części przedstawiam sześć stanowisk dotyczących natury eksperymentu myślowego.
Koncept demokracji w języku polskim i polskim dyskursie publicznym po 1989 roku
Authors: Grzeszczak Monika
Published: September 2023

W artykule podjęto próbę rekonstrukcji rozumienia demokracji w języku polskim na podstawie źródeł słownikowych, ankietowych i tekstowych oraz nakreślono różne sposoby funkcjonowania tego konceptu w wybranych, reprezentatywnych odmianach dyskursu publicznego w Polsce po 1989 r. Przyjęto przy tym założenia metodologiczne i aparat pojęciowy lubelskiej etnolingwistyki kognitywnej. Przeprowadzona analiza dowiodła, że podstawowy zbiór cech semantycznych demokracji, jej „stereotyp bazowy”, obejmuje w pierwszej kolejności cechy społeczne (z prymatem wolności i równości) i polityczne (z pojmowaniem demokracji jako formy ustroju politycznego, w której suwerenem jest lud/ naród/ większość społeczeństwa), w drugiej kolejności również cechy etyczne i bytowe. Koncept demokracji poddany został w różnych typach dyskursu publicznego swoistym modyfikacjom (profilowaniu), zgodnie z przyjętym przez dany podmiot światopoglądem oraz wyznawanym (cenionym przez siebie) systemem wartości. Profilowanie konceptu zarysowane zostało na podstawie materiału tekstowego zaczerpniętego z prasy o proweniencji liberalno-demokratycznej i lewicowej oraz centrowo-prawicowej. Uwypuklony został przy tym „typowy” (realny, rzeczywisty) obraz demokracji pierwszych dwudziestu lat transformacji systemowej w Polsce.

У артыкуле разглядаецца паэзія Алега Мінкіна (1952 г. нар.) перыяду трансфармацыі: вершы напісаныя ў 1991-2016 гг. у Вільні і Маскве, пасля таго, як паэт пакінуў Беларусь. Акрамя змены месца жыхарства на творчасць Мінкіна позняга перыяду наклалі выразны адбітак таксама гістарычныя падзеі: атрыманне Літвой, а потым і Беларуссю, незалежнасці, першыя прэзідэнцкія выбары ў Беларусі і прыход да ўлады Аляксандра Лукашэнкі, заняпад беларускага нацыянальнага адраджэння, узмацненне каланіяльнай залежнасцi Мінска ад Масквы, ператварэнне Расіі і Беларусі ў таталітарныя краіны. У артыкуле аналізуюцца ў біяграфічным ключы і ў грамадска-палітычным кантэксце часу вершы са зборнікаў Пенаты (2007) і Мяне тут не было... (2018). Вызначаецца кірунак творчай эвалюцыі паэта: ад неакласіцызму і неаміфалагізму ранніх зборнікаў Сурма (1984) і Расколіна (1991) да лірыкі непасрэднага перажывання з выразна выяўленым аўтарскім “я” і да філасофскай, метафізічнай паэзіі позняга перыяду.

Przekrojowa perspektywa pozwoliła na uchwycenie istotnych przemian prawnych i własnościowych, które oddają specyfikę rosyjskiego systemu medialnego oraz mało znanego segmentu prasy, jakim są czasopisma i magazyny religijne. Analiza skupia się tylko na czasopismach prawosławnych lub świeckich o prawosławiu i przedstawia odrodzenie prasy religijnej pod upadku ZSRR.
Tрансформация восприятия ключевых имен и произведений русской классической литературы в образовательном дискурсе Словакии (до и после 1989 года)
Authors: Cingerová Nina , Dulebová Irina
Published: September 2023

Масштабные события, вызвавшие изменения политическиx, экономическиx и общественныx условий, динамизируют, как правило, и временно зафиксированные идентичности культурныx знаков. В истории Словакии одними из самыx крупныx «взрывов» такого качества были Февральский переворот 1948 года, завершившийся установлением коммунистического режима в бывшей Чеxословакии, и так называемая Барxатная революция 1989, ознаменовавшая его конец. Суть связанной с изменениями общественной парадигмы трансформации восприятия ключевых имен и произведений русской классической литературы проанализирована на материале учебныx пособий для средниx школ, изданныx до и после 1989 года. Теоретическую основу исследования составили труды представителей Эссекской школы дискурса – Эрнесто Лакло и Шанталь Муфф. Были поставлены следующие задачи: а) фиксирование привязки определенного означающего, в нашем случае писателя, к определенной узловой точке; б) выявление речевыx или же шире – дискурсивных стратегий; в) фиксирование трансформации интерпретаций. Исxодя из анализа данныx фрагментов дискурса по отношению к дискурсу до 1989 года выявлены такие правила дискурсивного моделирования, как принцип первоочередности учета характеристик общественно-экономическиx формаций, «привязка» писателей и иx произведений к узловой точке «классовой борьбы», телеологичность изложения творческого пути писателей, соотносящуюся с принципами торжественного монументального стиля и актуализацию коммунистическиx идеологем. Самой существенной трансформацией в дискурсе после 1989 года была деидеологизация сложившиxся нарративов, циркулирующиx в образовательном дискурсе, и своеобразная бульваризация дискурса. В качестве главной цели, таким образом, выступает привлечение внимания реципиента.

Published: September 2023

The goals of this study were to explore and identify entomopathogenic fungi, as well as determine the most effective application techniques to control S. frugiperda from exploration of infected Spodoptera frugiperda larvae in Purbalingga Regency.  The research was carried out at the Plant Protection Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Jenderal Soedirman University, from January to May 2022. Samples were collected by purposive random method. The study used a Complete Randomized Design, consisting of two factors, namely the type of entomopathogenic fungus and the application technique, with 9 combinations and 3 replications. Observed variables include mortality, feeding activity, growth, and reproduction of larvae. The results showed that (1) the results of exploration of entomopathogenic fungi were from the genus Metarhizium sp. and Penicillium sp. (2) single treatment of Metarhizium sp. is more effective than Penicillium sp. in killing S. frugiperda larvae. Fungi Metarhizium sp. and Penicillium sp. decreased feeding activity, length of three-instar larval period, and number of eggs, respectively 24.99 and 15.99%, 4.71 and 2.46%, 9.18 and 8.04% against controls. (3) single treatment of feed soaking method decreased mortality by 55.18% than other methods. Spraying the larval body decreased mortality by 44.84% compared to other methods. The method of application did not affect the feeding, growth and fecundity activity of larvae. (4) The combined treatment of Metarhizium sp., spraying the larval body, and soaking feed had a mortality percentage of 60%. Interaction treatment of the fungus Metarhizium sp. and the method of application lowered the feed power by 16%. The decrease in the period of three instar larvae to pupae and the largest number of eggs in the combination treatment of Metarhizium sp. and spraying of larval bodies was 6.34% and 11.20% respectively compared to controls.

Evaluasi Arachis pintoi sebagai Biomulsa dalam Memperbaiki Kesuburan Tanah pada Pertanaman Jagung di Kemiringan Lahan yang Berbeda
Authors: Sumiahadi Ade , Chozin Muhamad Ahmad , Guntoro Dwi
Published: September 2023

Expanding agricultural land by using sloping dry land can be detrimental to the environment due to soil erosion and degradation. However, cover crops can be one of the technologies applied to reduce these risks. Arachis pintoi is one of cover crops that can be used as bio mulch on agricultural land. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of A. pintoi bio mulch on soil nutrient contents and maize plant growth at different slopes. A nested randomized block design was used in the study. Two levels of land used as the main factor and the type of mulch consisting of five levels (without mulch with weeding, without mulch without weeding, silver-black plastic mulch, straw mulch, and A. pintoi bio mulch) were used as the second factor. The results showed that A. pintoi bio mulch significantly increased the P content of the soil and could potentially increase several other macronutrients, especially C-organic, N, and Ca. The use of A. pintoi bio mulch with a cover technique that was left to cover the entire soil surface suppressed the growth and yield of maize plants compared to the control treatment.

Effectiveness of Hydrilla verticillata as Bioaccumulator Against Soil Contamination in Flooded Rice Cultivation
Authors: Ferdiansah Iqbal Bayu , Ubaidillah Mohammad
Published: September 2023

Soil pollution can occur due to agricultural waste, one of which is the excessive use of pesticides. Contaminants that are often found are heavy metal of copper (Cu). Rice plants will absorb and store heavy metal elements in polluted soil and waters, and these heavy metals will undergo a process of bioaccumulation in plants that affect plant growth. Efforts to deal with heavy metal contaminants have been carried out. In its application, plants such as hydrilla plant (Hydrilla verticillata) can be used to reduce pollution in the environment. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using hydrilla plants in reducing heavy metal pollutant copper in flooded rice cultivation. This research was conducted from May-November 2022 at the Agrotechnology Greenhouse, and for laboratory testing it was carried out at the CDAST Laboratory, University of Jember. This research was conducted using a completely randomized design consisting of one factor with four replications. Giving hydrilla did not significantly affect the morphology of rice plants but had a significant effect on the increasing levels of chlorophyll. The concentration of copper in rice plants decreased after treatment with hydrilla plants compared to negative controls without hydrilla plants. In this study, it can be concluded that the use of hydrilla was able to reduce the levels of copper metal present in rice plants and did not affect the growth of rice plants morphologically.

Authors: EL YEMLAHİ Anass , HAMANE Samia , LAGLAOUİ Amin , BAKKALİ Mohammed , ARAKRAK Abdelhay
Published: September 2023

Twenty-six root nodule bacteria from two native forage legumes namely Sulla aculeolata subsp. aculeolata and Sulla aculeolata subsp. mauritanica were isolated and analyzed using a polyphasic approach comprising phenotypic traits, ERIC-PCR, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This is the first time a study has been performed to determine the diversity of bacteria associated with Sulla aculeolata spp. Phenotypically, all the isolates were identified as fast-growing bacteria and shows high tolerance toward various stressed conditions, particularly those derived from S. aculeolata subsp. mauritanica. On the other hand, the genotypic characterization revealed high diversity among the isolated bacteria and clustered into 14 clusters at the similarity index of 90% based on ERIC-PCR analysis. Furthermore, the 16S rRNA gene sequencing of representatives strains indicates that all the strains share 99 to 100% identity with bacteria belonging to Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Serratia, and Paenibacillus genera with a clear relation to their host plant. In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggested the inoculation of plants with appropriate bacteria to enhance plant growth and quality of Sulla aculeolata under semi-arid conditions of the Mediterranean area.
Intoxication of newly implanted coffee plants by simulated drift of the dicamba herbicide
Authors: Carvalho Saul Jorge Pinto de , Alessandro Muniz Pires Fabio , Pereira Santos Caroliny , De Lira Ferreira Chayenne
Published: September 2023

After the release of soybean cultivars resistant to the herbicide dicamba, this product should be used more frequently in weed management programs, which may increase the risk of drift to neighboring crops, since the molecules are volatile and might cause damage in non-target plants. This work was developed to evaluate the effects of sub-doses of the herbicide dicamba on young coffee plants, simulating a drift situation. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, with a randomized block design of eight treatments and five replications. Each plot consisted of a 4 L pot, filled with sieved clayey soil and tanned manure (3:1 v/v), with a seedling of Catuaí IAC 144 coffee. The treatments used were: 0 (control), 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, and 100.0 g ha−1 of dicamba. Plant's percentual phytotoxicity was evaluated up to 49 days after application (DAA), SPAD index (14, 28, and 42 DAA), and dry matter biomass, at 49 DAA. In all evaluations, no differences were observed regarding phytotoxicity for dicamba sub-doses of up to 0.01 g ha−1. The highest doses of dicamba caused visual injuries of up to 31%. At 49 DAA, there were no differences regarding dry matter biomass. Leaf symptoms caused by the herbicide were observed, such as curling, wrinkling, and epinasty. No plant death was observed. Compared to other crops, coffee might be considered more tolerant to sub-doses of dicamba, with adequate recovery capacity for reduced doses of this herbicide.

Published: September 2023

Hazelnut has become an important commercial product in recent years due to its worldwide applications in the pharmaceutical industry as well as in the confectionery and food industry. In addition, hazelnut shell is a waste material obtained after hazelnut harvest and mainly used as heating sources. However, its bioproducts are essentially a very important phytochemical source. In this study, the composition of phenolic compounds, carotenoids, tocopherols and fatty acids of different bioproducts of hazelnut plant were investigated. The highest phenolic compound content (2630.84 µg/g), and lutein amount (73.05 µg/g) were determined in green leafy cover. The major fatty acids were found to be as oleic acid (81.493%), linoleic acid (7.778%) and palmitic acid (6.408%), respectively. Total tocopherol concentration of hazelnut kernel was determined as 364.1 µg/g. In the present study, the antibacterial activity of hazelnut bioproducts was determined using eight pathogenic bacteria. They showed strong antimicrobial activity against the Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria which might be attributed to the rich phytochemical composition of hazelnut bioproducts. This work comprehensively summarized the chemical composition of hazelnut bioproducts and their antibacterial activity potential grown in Giresun-Türkiye region which had an important place in the global market.
La disrupción tecnológica en el ámbito sanitario europeo: implicaciones de la telemedicina pública en la protección de datos de los pacientes
Authors: Rodríguez Ayuso Juan Francisco
Published: September 2023

El presente trabajo de investigación indaga en torno a la noción y naturaleza jurídica de la telemedicina como servicio de intermediación en línea que, merced a la configuración de aplicaciones móviles implementadas por plataformas digitales, posibilita la prestación telemática del derecho de los pacientes a ser atendidos sanitariamente. Fruto de este análisis, se propone una aproximación al marco normativo aplicable, sobre la base de la necesaria distinción entre el servicio médico prestado y el medio virtual a través del cual se presta, fundamental para indagar en el entramado legal y la ferviente multiplicación de reglas orientadas a disciplinar figuras, como esta, surgidas al amparo de las TIC. Finalmente, se aborda una cuestión no menos relevante: la implicación que este tratamiento masivo de información altamente sensible tiene en el derecho fundamental de los interesados a la protección de sus datos, siendo preciso atender a aspectos tan importantes como la propia noción de datos de salud, la regla que prohíbe su tratamiento, la relevancia que presenta el consentimiento del paciente como elemento habilitador del mismo, los fines perseguidos por las apps de eHealth o las medidas a adoptar para garantizar una seguridad acorde al elevado riesgo que conllevan este tipo de operaciones.

Camino hacia la integración de Ucrania en la UE: la política cultural europea
Authors: Perales García José Luis
Published: September 2023

Una de las consecuencias inmediatas de la guerra de Rusia contra Ucrania ha sido el reconocimiento taxativo de que Ucrania «forma parte de la familia europea». El inicio de este conflicto puede retrotraerse, sin embargo, hasta marzo de 2014. Poco después de las protestas de Euromaidán, la UE firmó en 2014 con Ucrania el Acuerdo de Asociación que ha servido para enmarcar la política de vecindad con este país y posibilitar sus reformas. Tras el impacto de la pandemia del COVID-19, la invasión rusa de Ucrania a gran escala de 2022 ha supuesto el despertar de una UE geopolítica más asertiva en un mundo más inestable. Como consecuencia de ello, la UE ha relanzado las negociaciones de adhesión con los países de los Balcanes Orientales y ha admitido como candidatos a Ucrania y Moldavia. En este contexto ha nacido la Comunidad Política Europea, que podría servir de antesala a la adhesión de estos países a la UE. Sin embargo, sin un final de la guerra en el horizonte, Ucrania podría avanzar en el camino hacia la plena integración en la UE negociando el capítulo dedicado a la cultura entendiendo esta en sentido amplio, y beneficiándose de los programas e iniciativas comunitarios como otros Estados miembros por medio de una integración diferenciada.

Participation in free-time activities as a form of lifelong non-formal learning makes an important contribution to the child's overall development and serves to support formal education. The aim of the case study carried out among 20 participants was to explore their attitudes towards technical education; the challenges and tasks that it imposes on children, teachers and free-time technology–oriented activity instructors; and to evaluate the knowledge and skills it brings to children's lives.
El comportamiento planificado y la intención de compra de comida orgánica de estudiantes universitarios del 2022 de Lima Metropolitana
Authors:   , Mejorada Choy Erika Daniela , Rivera Laura Sebastián Astolfo
Published: September 2023

Actualmente, la conciencia ambiental pasó de ser un movimiento a ser una realidad. Se afirma esto debido a que, en la actualidad, muchas personas a nivel mundial adoptaron y establecieron una ideología basada en un estilo de vida y consumo a favor del cuidado ambiental. De hecho, tanto fue dicho cambio que las empresas y las entidades gubernamentales tomaron medidas correctivas para frenar el daño al medio ambiente y, por ende, fomentar el cuidado de este, fortaleciendo y mejorando la oferta de los alimentos orgánicos a nivel global. En ese sentido, Perú no fue la excepción. De hecho, una buena parte de los peruanos adoptó una conducta ambientalista-orgánica, en donde destacan los universitarios que residen en Lima. Por ello, a partir de esto, se busca determinar si existe una relación entre el comportamiento planificado y la intención de compra de comida orgánica de los estudiantes universitarios de Lima Metropolitana en el 2022. Además, cabe mencionar que la variable comportamiento planificado está conformada por seis dimensiones: actitud personal, norma subjetiva, control consciente del comportamiento, aspectos morales, preocupaciones por el medio ambiente y preocupaciones por la salud. Las dimensiones y variable anteriormente mencionadas sirvieron como teoría base para el presente trabajo, siendo los autores de estas Švecová y Odehnalová. Por ello, para comprobar la validez de nuestro objetivo de investigación, se determinó usar metodología no experimental de tipo transversal y con un alcance correlacional, donde se utilizó un cuestionario validado por expertos. Como resultado de esto, se pudo comprobar la latente existencia de la relación entre el comportamiento planificado y la intención de compra de comida orgánica de los estudiantes universitarios de Lima Metropolitana.

This research focused on the utilization of four different organic wastes, namely snake fruit, orange, cabbage, and tomato wastes, for the production of biogas. The main objectives were twofold: (1) to investigate the characteristics and biodegradability of these wastes, and (2) to evaluate their potential for anaerobic methane production. The experiment was conducted using 250 L bioreactors, with the four wastes serving as the primary raw materials. A starter culture of cattle dung was added, and the mixture was incubated for eight weeks. Regular sampling and analysis were carried out to assess water content, biodegradability, specific rate of volatile m aterial reduction, and gas yield. The results showed that the water content of the four waste systems remained relatively consistent throughout the experiment. Biodegradability analysis revealed that all of the wastes were biodegradable, with varying levels of degradation ranging from 23.10 ± 2.89% to 59.84 ± 4.17%. Snake fruit waste exhibited the highest resistance to degradation, while tomato waste was the most easily degradable. Kinetic analysis indicated specific rates of volatile material reduction (µ) of 0.006±0.0006 per day for the most resistant waste and 0.0170 ± 0.0021 per day for the least resistant waste. The Incorporation of these four waste types in the biogas production process had a positive effect on gas formation. Therefore, these organic wastes hold promise as valuable resources for biogas production, addressing both the Issue of waste accumulation and the energy crisis in an environmentally beneficial manner

dever-fazer e o não querer-fazer
Authors: Souza Diones Bezerra de , Lima Arrais Maria Nazareth de
Published: September 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a performance de O jovem rico, narrativa escrita pelo evangelista Lucas, contida na Bíblia, precisamente no Novo Testamento. Para esta análise, utilizamos a teoria da Semiótica Discursiva a partir dos estudos de Greimas, considerando também Courtés, Saussure e Hjelmslev, e em estudos compilados por brasileiros a exemplo de Fiorin A metodologia adotada foi embasada na análise do discurso com abordagem qualitativa, dado que não fizemos uso de métodos e técnicas estatísticas, mas buscamos compreender e interpretar o que o discurso enuncia. Da análise, consideramos a narrativa O jovem rico que é colocada perante um enunciador-destinador que tenta manipular um jovem abastado, oferecendo um tesouro no céu, não obstante, para consegui-lo, ele teria que se desfazer de todas as suas riquezas ofertando-as aos pobres, assim este ganharia a vida eterna. Porém ocorreu uma mudança alterando a modalização do dever-fazer para o não querer-fazer, visto que o jovem não aceitou o contrato de seu destinador.

“O mundo é masculino e assim deve permanecer”
Authors: Curti Josyelle Bonfante , Cordeiro Isabel Cristina
Published: September 2023

Com respaldo na Linguística Textual, buscamos, neste artigo, analisar a carga argumentativa em declarações discriminatórias enunciadas pelo juiz Edilson Rumbelsperger Rodrigues, da comarca de Sete Lagoas – MG, em 2007. Para tanto, optamos por avaliar os adjetivos, manifestamente afetivos e reveladores de posições ideológicas do enunciador, e os advérbios, que conferem propriedade às qualidades, aos sujeitos e aos eventos da enunciação, marcando o grau de engajamento do enunciador e robustecendo os argumentos, os conteúdos, os sentidos e as convicções subjacentes, sendo que ambos são mobilizados como artifícios persuasivos na defesa dos pontos de vista externalizados. Trata-se de uma tentativa de justificar perspectivas valorativas e de levar a um convencimento sobre a proposição de que a sociedade deve ser regida e mantida nos moldes masculinos, posto que a quebra dessa prevalência e desse domínio masculino e a consequente independência feminina tornam o homem emocionalmente frágil, tolo, dependente e subjugado, por isso causam desequilíbrio, desarmonia e caos à sociedade – tradicionalmente patriarcal –, acima de tudo quando é criada uma lei (Lei Maria da Penha) que protege exclusivamente as mulheres de agressões e de violências. Por fim, o adjetivo e o advérbio regulam e encaminham a orientação interpretativa dos discursos, seus sentidos e seu aceite.

Developing Language Assessment Literacy of Teachers: needs, effective factors, and constraints
Authors: Al-Akbari Sabah
Published: September 2023

In recent years, developing language assessment literacy (LAL) has become crucial for teachers in enhancing their teaching practices and improving students’ learning outcomes. Empirical research reported that there was a training need for formal education and professional development programs in assessment (Berry et al., 2017; Vogt & Tsagari, 2014). Therefore, this paper reports a systematic review of teachers’ language assessment literacy development: training needs, training effective factors, and language assessment practice constraints. The purpose of the review is to provide an updated overview of the empirical research on language assessment development. I utilized systematic review for social studies using the following steps: forming research questions, choosing the appropriate search terms and strategy, starting the literature search, developing inclusion criteria, determining relevant studies, and extracting data (Petticrew & Roberts, 2006). The search was limited to the 12 years’ publications because there was an increase attention on developing teacher’s language assessment literacy in these years. The selected studies were analyzed using the content analysis approach. The results suggested that teachers needed in-service training in different LAL content areas that varied according to the educational context needs in their countries. The results also revealed that teachers' experience and self-reflection needed to be considered in development programs and teachers should be involved in collaborative learning communities. The collaborative learning communities provided the needed professional support and give the chance for teachers to share their experience. Furthermore, the reality and constraints needed to be recognized as they influenced teachers' assessment practices. Finally, research implications and future research directions on teachers’ language assessment literacy are discussed.

Published: September 2023

Modeling is a fundamental tool in the teaching and learning processes of life and earth sciences. It serves as an investigative instrument that enables students to test hypotheses and solve scientific problems. This paper presents the findings of a survey conducted among 96 Moroccan life and earth sciences teachers teaching students at the primary, junior high and high school levels. The study aims to highlight the role of modelling in life sciences instruction and explore teachers' understanding, approaches and perceptions towards models and modeling practices. A questionnaire-based methodology was employed to collect data on teachers' awareness of the significance of models in life sciences and the instructional approaches that are adopted in these models. The findings reveal Moroccan teachers' clear grasp of models' significance in teaching life sciences. Moreover, they employ similar approaches to models and modeling practices. The research highlights instructors' awareness of models' potential to increase the effectiveness and appeal of scientific instruction. It establishes modeling's pivotal role in instructing life sciences, emphasizing the need to incorporate modeling activities into the curriculum to nurture students' scientific inquiry and problem-solving skills. The study's practical implications suggest the value of training programs and professional development initiatives for teachers to promote model use in life sciences instruction. Enhancing teachers' knowledge and pedagogical strategies related to modeling can enrich science education leading to increased student engagement and achievement in the life sciences.
