Published: August 2022

The subsurface sandy aquifers in the in northern parts of Akwa Ibom State, Southern Nigeria were studied to see how homogenous or otherwise the aquifer parameters could be. The parameters considered in the present study were lithologic composition of the aquifer, depth of occurrence, thickness and aquifer resistivity. Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) using Schlumberger electrode configuration was the choice array used in data collection. Forty five (45) points were electrically sounded across the study area to obtain information on the electrical signatures of the subsurface layers. Both manual and computer aided methods were used in the analysis of the acquired field data. Interpreted results showed great variability of the aquifer parameters. Aquifer lithological make-up varied markedly from fine/coarse grained sand to clayey sand as one approached the northern parts of the study area. Deep seated/confined aquifers reaching an interpreted drill depth of about 110 m were also found northwards compared to an interpreted drill depth of about 22.7 m inland. Most of the aquifers encountered were prolific with some reaching a thickness of over 60 m. Aquifer resistivity values varying between 71.8 Ωm to 28,413.0 Ωm were also obtained within the study area. The study concluded that, the varied inhomogeneity of the explored subsurface indicated that the area of study is a transition zone between the Pliocene-Pleistocene Benin formation/Coastal plain sand and the Middle Eocene Bende-Ameke Group.

Authors: Arisa Resti
Published: August 2022

The problems found in this study were regarding the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL)-based Student Worksheets teaching materials which still rarely used set material. Besides that, there are also several CTL-based LKPDs on the set material that are less able to help students relate the material studied to real everyday life, the questions presented in the LKPD are also still not simple, making it difficult for students to understand the material. So from this problem, a problem formulation emerged, namely how to develop CTL-based LKPD on the subject of the set, is the CTL-based LKPD on the set material suitable for use as a learning medium? and how do students respond to CTL-based LKPD on set material? The purpose of this study was to determine whether the CTL-based LKPD on the set material was appropriate or not and to find out the students' responses to the developed LKPD. This type of research is a type of research and development (Research and Development or R & D) which is modified into 3-D. The subjects of this study were lecturers and teachers of mathematics as validation of material and media experts and 10 students of PAB 3 Saentis Private Junior High School. The object of this research is to develop student worksheets based on contextual teaching and learning on the subject of the set. The research instrument is the LKPD questionnaire for expert validation and student responses. Validity results can be obtained through the assessment of material experts, media experts and students. Based on the calculation of the average percentage of assessment experts given by material experts is 82.9% and the assessment given by media experts is 83.7% and the results of the assessment of student responses are 89.85%. So it can be concluded that the LKPD based on contextual teaching and learning on the subject of the set is declared valid and feasible to be used as a learning medium because it has met the validity requirements in the table used.

This study evaluated the potency of an herbal mixture – Goko Cleanser Herbal Mixture (GCHM) in the prevention of Acetaminophen induced Nephrotoxicity. A total of 30 adult wistar rats weighing 150g-200g were divided into 6 groups of 5 animals each. Animals were acclimatized for 7 days to laboratory conditions, fed with rat chow and distilled water ad libitum. All groups were pretreated for 11days (morning and night) as follows: Group1 (Normal-control) received 3ml/kg B.W distilled water, Group2 (Positive-control) not pretreated, Group3 (Standard-control) received Silymarin (100mg/kg b.w), Group4,5 and 6 received 1ml/kg b.w 2ml/kg b.w and 3ml/kg b.w GCHM respectively. On the 11th day, all Groups apart from Group1 were induced with 2mg/kg b.w Acetaminophen 30minutes after the normal drug administration. The normal drug administration continued to 14th day and on the 15th day, blood samples were collected after an overnight fast and the animals were sacrificed via Jugular-strangulation. The phytochemical constituents of the herbal mixture and the renal function makers were evaluated by standard methods. According to our data, Alkaloids, Terpenoids, Steroids, Glycosides, Anthocyanins, Anthraquinones, Phenols, Carotenoids, Flavonoids, Tannins, and Saponins were present. Rats in group2 had significant (p<0.05) increase in serum creatinine and urea levels but a significant (p<0.05) decrease in potassium and sodium levels indicating Nephrotoxicity. Groups 3,4,5 and 6 showed a significant (p<0.05) increase in serum sodium and potassium ion levels compared to Group1 and 2. We conclude that GCHM is rich in phytochemicals and could serve as a potential raw material in the development of therapeutics for kidney and related conditions.

Este texto oferece uma análise sobre como posições-sujeito se articulam para a construção do livro de repórter a partir da leitura de “O Nascimento de Joicy: transexualidade, jornalismo e os limites entre repórter e personagem”, da jornalista Fabiana Moraes. O dispositivo teórico-metodológico é oriundo da análise de discurso de linha francesa, com ancoragem em Pêcheux (1995), Orlandi (2012) e Benetti (2007). Concebeu-se o livro de repórter como um espaço que permite ao jornalista tecer comentários sobre a prática (MAROCCO, 2011, 2015; ZAMIN, 2011). Para tanto, foram articuladas duas formações discursivas e sete posições-sujeitos ocupadas pela autora. Observando as posições-sujeito na associação a uma formação discursiva, pensou-se aqui nos modos de conceituar a prática jornalística ofertados pela autora.

Authors: Marcellino Marcio Morrison Kaviski , Semicek Paulo Henrique
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo surge da problemática: como se dá a produção de conteúdo dentro do jornalismo alternativo e hiperlocal? Como objetivo principal, o trabalho se propõe a compreender de que forma o grupo “A periferia em movimento” constrói suas narrativas jornalísticas. Sobre os objetivos específicos têm-se; identificar quais as mídias mais utilizadas na produção de conteúdo e verificar se há um espaço para o compartilhamento de vozes dentro destas produções imagéticas e textuais. Como hipótese, acredita-se que há uma repetição do que é feito pela grande mídia, ou seja, produção de conteúdos baseados em textos e imagens. Metodologicamente, é realizada uma análise de conteúdo com preceitos de Laurence Bardin (2011), mais especificamente a etapa de categorização, que se define por diferenciação dos conteúdos analisados e depois o reagrupamento dos mesmos. Esta metodologia é importante para compreender o que é produzido e postado no Facebook da página analisada. Foi realizada uma análise de um período de cinco dias consecutivos. Além da análise de conteúdo, este artigo realizou uma entrevista em profundidade com os responsáveis pela página “Periferia em Movimento” como forma de complementar as informações encontradas na categorização. Como resultado, foi possível observar que as postagens do site  “Periferia em Movimento” seguem moldes imagéticos e textuais padrões em suas construções jornalísticas. Porém, emerge com o jornalismo comunitário, a possibilidade da participação popular na construção do processo jornalístico.

Developmental Trauma through a Public Health Lens: The Economic Case for the Developmental Trauma Disorder Diagnosis and a Trauma-informed Vision
Authors: Acquarini Elena , Ardino Vittoria , Rombaldoni Rosalba
Published: August 2022

Developmental trauma is a hidden pandemic leading to a multilayered array of negative outcomes across the lifespan, including critical health conditions and increased healthcare utilization. Such a scenario represents a major socio-economic burden with costs for health and social care and for society as a whole. A trauma-informed public health approach puts childhood adversities at the core of treatment and service provision. The chapter firstly outlines how a trauma-informed public health approach embedding the recognition of the Developmental Trauma Disorder diagnosis represents a major shift in conceptualizing health and social care provision and to recognizing the pervasiveness of adverse experiences. Secondly, the chapter elaborates a projective cost analysis to illustrate how the societal, health, and social care costs would be reduced if trauma-related policies were implemented. A multidisciplinary view—which includes an economic case aspect—could strengthen ACEs prevention efforts and could raise awareness about the problem.

Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is one of the key factors of both innate and adaptive immune response that promotes differentiation of naive CD4+ cells into effector Th1 T cells producing the main mediators of cellular immunity against viral and intracellular bacterial infections, and specific cytotoxic immunity through the interaction of T cells with antigen-presenting cells and macrophage activation. The clinical importance of IFN-γ includes its medical use to treat and prevent various viral and bacterial infections. IFN-γ has a direct antiviral effect on infected cells, activates local infiltrating dendritic cells, macrophages and NK cells, modulates the differentiation and maturation of T and B cells, and enhances inflammation and antiviral functions. Immunoregulatory effect of IFN-γ plays one of the essential roles in the regulation of adaptive immune response in patients with tuberculosis infection and cancer. Producing IFN-γ by T cells increases the efficiency of infiltrated phagocytic cells, by stimulating NO and maintaining local host defense during tuberculosis infection. The direct antitumor effect of IFN-γ revealed in several experimental models has numerous mechanisms for the effect of development. IFN-γ has crucial potential for enhancing any antiviral, antimycobacterial, and specific antitumor therapies.

Adoption of Conservation Agriculture as a Driver of Sustainable Farming: Opportunities, Constraints, and Policy Issues
Authors: Shahbaz Pomi , ul Haq Shamsheer , Boz Ismet
Published: August 2022

Sustainable farming is critical for rural development and global food security, but it is threatened by intensive agriculture and climate change. Conservation agriculture (CA) is a sustainable farming system developed in response to intensive agriculture, environmental degradation, and climate change caused by traditional agriculture systems. This chapter discusses the role of CA in sustainable farming and examines the factors influencing CA adoption globally through a review of previous studies. The review results indicated that CA assists farmers increase farm sustainability by influencing economic, social, and environmental dimensions through minimum mechanical soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and diversification. CA adoption aims at maintaining soil fertility, improving farm yield, and reducing the use of external inputs necessary for sustainable farming. Therefore, the number of CA-adopting countries has grown significantly over the last decade but its adoption is constrained by a variety of factors such as farmers’ demographic characteristics, farm characteristics, institutional factors, capital ownership, cognitive factors, and farm manager entrepreneurial ability. Moreover, abundance of small-scale farming and a lack of awareness about the role of CA in sustainable farming also pose a challenge to the global adoption of CA. Farmers’ entrepreneurial abilities and awareness of CA benefits should be improved to increase adoption of CA and sustainable farming.

Published: August 2022

Several pathogens and pests damage tomato plants, and only one and/or more pathogens and pests can coexist in the same plant at the same time. As several numerous pathogens are found in the same plant, the damage to the tomato plants is higher. Pathogens such as nematodes, viruses, viroids, bacteria, and insects adversely affect the growth and development of tomato plants. They may infect roots or upper part of the plant and can cause not only slow down the growth of plants, but also crop losses and their death. Damaging of plant caused by pathogens and pests reduces the market value of plant products. Those pathogens and pests are also called biotic stress agents. The damage, mode of infection, and the mechanism of infection in each tomato plant and pathogens might be different. This situation is crucially important to understand plant pathogen relationship in detail in terms of controlling pests and pathogen. The effect of each pest/pathogen on tomato plants during the cultivation, the type of damage, and new developments and perspectives on morphological and molecular aspects in tomato-pathogen interactions will be discussed in this chapter.

Published: August 2022

Canine transmissible venereal tumor is the oldest cancer in dogs and is transplanted via viable cancer cells. This cancer has a specific host, easy transmission, noticeable gross lesions, a predictable growth pattern, an immunologic relative host response, unique molecular characteristics, and is responsive to chemotherapeutic treatment. These points make researchers and practitioners interested in this cancer. Genital cases are noticeable and therefore easier to diagnose and treat than extragenital cases. By contrasting the anatomical features of the two types of cases, we highlight the uniqueness of canine transmissible venereal tumors and discuss the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this ancient cancer.

Described as having complete control over the passions, the generous person is not passion-free; she feels compassion for those in need but unable to bear their misfortunes with fortitude, hates vice, takes satisfaction in her own virtue, etc. To bring to light the coherence of the generous person’s emotional configuration, a compare and contrast analysis with Descartes’s deficient moral type, the abject person, is provided. Real life as well as literary examples (Queen Christina of Sweden, Descartes himself and Kadhy Demba, one of the main characters of Marie NDiaye’s novel Trois Femmes Puissantes) further refine the portrait of Descartes’s generous person and show that generosity is achievable by anyone who uses their will well. Descartes’s position on harmonizing the passions is reconstructed as a developmental trajectory: harmonizing the emotions is possible courtesy of God who put this sphere of created affairs under our jurisdiction; harmonizing the passions is required since the alternative is sub-optimal (souls enslaved and miserable); finally, harmonizing the emotions is satisfying. Since, as the above examples demonstrate, in the process of making their emotional composition coherent, different people take different routes and thus “create for themselves a personal, quite personal ideal,” acquiring Cartesian generosity points the way to Nietzsche’s later notion of self-creation.

Authors: Parezanović Marko
Published: August 2022

The CSTO operation in Kazakhstan during 2022 hadn't only a character of building peace mission, but also has the purpose to prevent violent political coup in the form of color revolution in this, for Russian interest strategic important post-Soviet republic. Beside that, this CSTO operation had essential and crucial importance for the preservation of Kazakhstan constitutional order, and also prevented the constitution of a new geopolitical framework and order in the extremely challenging region of Central Asia. Through the research work on the analysis of this operation, interesting data on the refractions of various factors of the foreign policies of Russia, China, the United States and Turkey through Kazakhstan were obtained. Also, article reveals the cause and effect relationship between the complex political and security events in Kazakhstan, primarily through the prism of radical Islamist factor which played an active role in Kazakstanian scenario, particularly if we have in mind withdrawal of the American contingent from Afghanistan. American focus since than has been placed in Eurasian circle, bearing in mind strengthening project of created by Russia, known as Eurasian security and economic integrations.

In the 21st century, the significance of competencies is increasing in our everyday lives and in the labor market. Such complex competencies like critical and creative thinking is a topic that are becoming more and more relevant. In the past, researchers have shown a direct link between creative thinking and teaching methods. The project will apply a STEM research method throughout the study and comparing SSCS learning. The study focuses on the critical examination of specific assignments and students' critical and creative thinking. In this study, researchers used prisms and pyramids as stimuli for 125 students to evaluate their imagination. This study uses a quasi-experimental design to explore a different hypothesis about the link between STEM and SSCS on student creativity and critical thinking. To determine whether or not the data collection technique can assist students in improving their critical and creative thinking, it has been put through its paces. MANOVA has been shown to be effective in testing hypotheses in several studies. Compared to the SSCS learning model, the STEM-based K-13 curriculum positively impacts critical and creative thinking. It can be concluded that the STEM approach, as opposed to the SSCS model, can be used as an alternative solution for learning in the industrial era 4.0.

En el siglo XXI, la importancia de las competencias está aumentando en nuestra vida cotidiana y en el mercado laboral. Competencias tan complejas como el pensamiento crítico y creativo es un tema que se está volviendo cada vez más relevante. En el pasado, los investigadores han demostrado un vínculo directo entre el pensamiento creativo y los métodos de enseñanza. El proyecto aplicará un método de investigación STEM a lo largo del estudio y comparará el aprendizaje de SSCS. El estudio se centra en el examen crítico de tareas específicas y el pensamiento crítico y creativo de los estudiantes. En este estudio, los investigadores utilizaron prismas y pirámides como estímulos para que 125 estudiantes evaluaran su imaginación. Este estudio utiliza un diseño cuasi-experimental para explorar una hipótesis diferente sobre el vínculo entre STEM y SSCS en la creatividad y el pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes. Para determinar si la técnica de recopilación de datos puede o no ayudar a los estudiantes a mejorar su pensamiento crítico y creativo, se ha puesto a prueba. Se ha demostrado que MANOVA es efectivo para probar hipótesis en varios estudios. En comparación con el modelo de aprendizaje SSCS, el plan de estudios K-13 basado en STEM tiene un impacto positivo en el pensamiento crítico y creativo. Se puede concluir que el enfoque STEM, a diferencia del modelo SSCS, puede utilizarse como una solución alternativa para el aprendizaje en la era industrial 4.0.
Aprendizaje colaborativo de cuestiones sociocientíficas en ambientes virtuales: estudio de una experiencia de formación docente

This paper presents an analysis of the collaborative dynamics established during a distance teacher training course on a socio-scientific issue. The proposal was to solve, in collaborative groups, an open problem about transgenic plants. Ninety-six biology and chemistry teachers participated as students. A case study was carried out and information on the process was collected through questionnaires, interviews, analysis of interactions in forums, wikis, metacognition essays and final application papers. The analysis was organized on the basis of two dimensions: group cognitive and individual cognitive. From the results obtained, it is highlighted that group work allowed a collaborative construction of convergence towards the common goal of solving the problem posed. Although dialogic interactions tending to build knowledge in a collaborative way were identified, some groups still had summative or individual ways of facing the task. In terms of knowledge construction, the proposed work broadened the perspective of analysis of the socio-scientific question posed, fostered the interpretation of scientific information, the evaluation of different sources of information, the analysis of evidence and the construction of arguments.

En este trabajo se presenta un análisis de la dinámica de colaboración establecida a partir de un curso de formación docente a distancia referido a una cuestión sociocientífica. Se propuso resolver, en grupos colaborativos, un problema abierto sobre las plantas transgénicas. Participaron como estudiantes 96 docentes de Biología y Química. Se realizó un estudio de caso y se recolectó información del proceso a través de cuestionarios, entrevistas, análisis de las interacciones en los foros, wikis, ensayos de metacognición y trabajos finales de aplicación. El análisis se organizó a partir de dos dimensiones: cognitiva grupal y cognitiva individual. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se destaca que el trabajo en grupo permitió una construcción colaborativa de convergencia hacia la meta en común de resolver el problema plateado. Si bien se identificaron interacciones dialógicas tendientes a construir conocimiento de manera colaborativa también permanecieron en algunos grupos formas sumativas o individuales de enfrentarse a la tarea. En cuanto a la construcción de conocimiento el trabajo propuesto amplió la perspectiva de análisis de la cuestión sociocientífica plateada, fomentó la interpretación de información científica, la evaluación de diferentes fuentes de información, el análisis de evidencias y la construcción de argumentos.
