TVET leaders’ experiences of an enquiry-based blended-learning programme
Authors: Smit Tanya , Bester Suzanne
Published: November 2022

A grave need exists among managers in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in South Africa to have their leadership and managerial skills developed. The Postgraduate Diploma in TVET programme at the University of Pretoria was developed in 2019 as an enquiry-based blended-learning programme aimed at contributing to an appropriate response to this need. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to describe the experiences of the first cohort of programme participants according to the way the design of this programme influenced their engagement in the programme and how it supported the development of their leadership and managerial skills. Data were generated using reflective essays and a group reflection session with all the participants. The essays and the transcription of the group reflection session were thematically analysed. The findings suggest that the programme promoted the development of the participants’ leadership and managerial skills. It also developed their critical thinking skills, their ability to work independently and their inclination to become self-efficacious learners. The facilitators in this programme became powerful role models to the research participants to replicate their learning experiences in their own institutions. Although the participants found it challenging to adjust to working from home while also studying during the COVID-19 lockdown period, they were inspired and motivated to persist through their networking experiences with international and national peers and leaders in their fields of education and industry.
Simple Procedure for the Isolation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Different Parts of the Human Umbilical Cord
Authors: Suyoko Ahmad , Prasetyaningrum Pekik Wiji , Septisetyani Endah Puji
Published: November 2022

The umbilical cord and placenta are both sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are promising for cell-based therapy. Furthermore, compared to other MSCs sources, they are easy to obtain with no invasive procedures. This study presents an adapted method for stem cell isolation from three different parts of the human umbilical cord, including Wharton’s jelly (WJ), cord lining (CL), and cord-placenta junction (CPJ). The isolation consists of sample preparation, tissue dissection into distinct anatomical regions, mincing and enzyme digestion, and explant culturing. In addition, we monitored when the cells migrated from the explant to the bottom of the cell culture dish and passed the cells after they became confluent. This study found that WJ cells were the first to reach confluence at Passage 0 (P0). In contrast, CL cells needed the longest time to get confluence at P0 but displayed faster cell growth after subsequent passages (P1-P2). In addition, CPJ cells showed growth retardation after P1 and P2. Altogether, we could extract the MSCs from umbilical cord tissue explants by using DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 IU/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin as general cell culture medium and omitting the use of gentamicin. However, the MSCs may need a more complex specified medium for optimum cell regeneration for further cell expansion.Keywords: mesenchymal stem cells, umbilical cord, Wharton’s jelly, cord lining, cord-placenta junction.

This study evaluated the possible neuroprotective effect of Allium atroviolaceum extract (AaE)-synthesized selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) on aluminum (Al)-induced neurotoxicity in mice, explaining the likely mechanisms. Mice were divided into five groups: G1, control; G2, AaE group that received AaE (200 mg/kg) for 4 weeks; and groups 3, 4, and 5 received AlCl3 (100 mg/kg) for 3 weeks. After that, G4 received AaE (200 mg/kg), and G5 received SeNPs-AaE (0.5 mg/kg) for another 1 week. Exposure to AlCl3 boosted oxidative damage in brain tissue as evidenced by a reduction in glutathione concentrations and other antioxidant enzymes along with increased lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide levels. There was also a rise in the concentrations of interleukin-1β, TNF-α, and cyclooxygenase-II activities. AlCl3-treated mice showed reduced brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and dopamine levels, increased acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and reduced Bcl-2, and Bax, and caspase-3 activities. Treatment with SeNPs-AaE significantly reduced markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. In addition, in SeNPs-AaE-treated rats, levels of BDNF and dopamine were significantly increased along with a reduction in AChE as compared with the AlCl3 group. Therefore, our results indicate that SeNPs-AaE has a potential neuroprotective effect against Al-mediated neurotoxic effects because of its powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and neuromodulatory activities.
Frankincense Fragrances and Winged Serpents in Etruria: Notes on a Tarquinian Sarcophagus
Authors: Voisin Corentin
Published: November 2022

A sarcophagus found in Tarquinia at the end of the 19th century discloses an original iconography featuring infernal scenes with banqueters, Turms, Vanth, and winged snakes. One interpretation proposed in the 1990s was that this monument bears witness to esoteric doctrines of Greek origin in Etruria, in particular Orphism and Pythagoreanism. However, this proposal is not satisfactory and needs to be reconsidered. It seems more likely that this sarcophagus refers to the world of perfumes and, potentially, to the well-known anecdote of the flying snakes guarding the frankincense trees. This new interpretation sheds further light on the role of scents in Etruria, particularly in the world of the dead.
Dämonen in Weiß? Medizinkritik in der deutschen Zeitgeschichte
Authors: Greiner Florian
Published: November 2022

Ungeachtet der Fortschritte im Gesundheitswesen entwickelte sich Medizinkritik im letzten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts zu einem nahezu omnipräsenten Phänomen. Der Aufsatz fragt in einem deutsch-deutschen Vergleich nach den Ursachen und Folgen. Er fokussiert dabei ein konkretes Fallbeispiel, nämlich die Versorgung am Lebensende. Der Umgang mit Sterbenden erschien in beiden deutschen Staaten als eine besondere Herausforderung, an der sich die Schattenseiten der neuen medizinischen Behandlungsmöglichkeiten deutlich zeigten, etwa mit Blick auf künstliche Lebensverlängerung. Dabei wird die These vertreten, dass hinter den neuen Formen der Medizinkritik nur teilweise tatsächliche Mängel in der medizinischen Versorgung standen: Ebenso bedeutsam waren spezifische Verlusterfahrungen und Sinnstiftungslücken in der modernen Gesellschaft, die systemübergreifend Wirkung entfalteten und Rückwirkungen auf unterschiedlichste Akteure hatten.
Climate Violence and Earth Justice: A Research Report on Practical Theology’s Contributions
Authors: Miller-McLemore Bonnie J.
Published: November 2022

Several scholars in practical theology have lamented inattention in the field to environmental crises, raising the question: what is the state of research on climate? This report analyzes the scholarship with the hope of raising consciousness about contributions and sparking greater political and moral engagement. Contrary to initial impression, the review concludes that practical theologians have written more than people realize, offering up-close analysis of human proclivities toward climate violence and religious practices of earth justice. If anything, practical theologians need to do a better job drawing on past research in the field and honing what we have to offer.
Azadirachtin in the aquatic environment: Fate and effects on non-target fauna
Authors: Sarkar Prithwish , Dhara Kishore , Guhathakurta Himadri
Published: November 2022

The present-day inclination towards increased application of pesticides derived from natural sources is not without its own hazards. Such pesticides are indubitably less harmful compared to the newer classes of low persistence organophosphates; however, these pesticides may be hydrolyzed to yield secondary products which often exhibit significantly different toxicity. Additionally, studies show that the inert materials used in formulation can exhibit significant toxicity on their own. The toxicity of secondary products and inert materials are largely unknown since these molecules are largely uncharacterized. Azadirachtin is such a candidate pesticide. It is derived from the neem tree Azadirachta indica, and it ticks all the above boxes. In its pure form, formulation and crude extracts, it can generate ecotoxicological effects ranging from behavioural anomalies and physiological imbalances to growth suppression. Authors at various times have pointed out the ability of azadirachtin (or that of its metabolites’/break-down products’) to cause specific, documentable effects on growth and reproduction of non-target fauna. Since extensive reports are available on the toxicology of azadirachtin to terrestrial beneficial fauna like bees and earthworms, this review aims to present a coherent picture of the effects of azadirachtin on non-target aquatic organisms through a documentation of relevant reports published during the last three decades. It is hoped that this compilation will help sensitize public opinion about the erroneous supposition that pesticides derived from natural sources are not innately harmful to non-target biota.
COVID-19 Conspiracy Beliefs and Vaccination Intentions among Social Media Users
Authors: Gemenis Kostas
Published: November 2022

More than a year after the introduction of vaccines against COVID-19, inoculation remains inconsistent and variable across countries. In this paper, we introduce a multi-item scale of COVID-19 related misinformation, skepticism, and conspiracy theories and investigate the effects of these beliefs on vaccine hesitancy. We report findings from a survey in Greece where participants were recruited via paid advertising on Facebook and the study sample was adjusted for demographic variables using a nationally representative reference sample. We show that the endorsement of COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs is the primary factor driving vaccine hesitancy, far exceeding the effect of all other demographic and attitudinal variables, including health status. Furthermore, a pre-registered randomized survey experiment showed that the effect cannot be attributed to respondents’ exposure to the COVID-19 conspiracy theory questions of the survey. The paper concludes by discussing potential public policy implications for combating misinformation and promoting health literacy among social media users.
Machine learning augmented multi-sensor data fusion to detect aero engine fan rotor blade flutter
Authors: Rao A. N. Viswanatha , Satish T. N. , Naidu V. P. S. , Jana Soumendu
Published: November 2022

Flutter-induced fatigue failure investigation of the fan blades of aero-engines necessitates extensive testing. During engine ground testing, strain gauges on rotor fan blades and casing vibration sensors were employed to investigate structural dynamic aspects. The correlation between strain sensor signals and fan casing vibration signals allowed the diagnosis of fluttering fan blades. For automated flutter detection during engine development testing, a machine learning-augmented information fusion methodology was developed. The method analyses casing vibration signals by extracting time-domain statistical features, intrinsic mode function characteristics through empirical mode decomposition, and recurrence quantification features. Feature vectors obtained from a relatively large set of engine tests were subjected to dimension reduction by applying machine learning techniques to rank them. Reduced feature vector space was labelled as “flutter” or “normal” based on the correlation of rotor strain gauge signals. In addition, the labelled feature vectors were employed to train classifier models using supervised learning-based algorithms such as Support Vector Machines, Linear Discriminant Analysis, K-means Clustering, and Artificial Neural Networks. Using only vibration signals from the casing, the trained and validated classifiers were able to detect flutter in fan baldes with a 99% probability during subsequent testing.
One Health Approach for the Control of Zoonotic Diseases
Authors: Erkyihun Gashaw Adane , Alemayehu Meseret Bekele
Published: November 2022

Zoonoses are infectious diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans and/or from humans to animals. Approximately 75% of new emerging and re-emerging disease pathogens are zoonotic: 60% spread from domestic and wild animals, and 80% are of concern regarding bioterrorism. For the past 20 years, the world has faced several zoonotic disease outbreaks. Some zoonoses can cause recurring outbreaks, such as Ebola virus disease, salmonellosis, Marburg disease, rabies and anthrax. Still others, such as the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19, have the potential to cause worldwide pandemics. The high risk of emerging and reemerging disease spillover and burden has been increased by extensive interactions among animals, humans and ecosystems. Hence, this complex health threat strongly requires a multi-sectoral collaboration known as the One Health approach. This article discusses recent scientific policies, initiatives, best practices, systems and challenges in One Health. The critical rapid review method was used, with a particular emphasis on available and recent global information. Literature found in Google Scholar and PubMed, and data publicly available on the websites of major global, regional and national organizations were included. The aim of this article is to provide compiled information and increase awareness.
Primitive, Exotic, and Australian
Authors: Campbell Rachel
Published: November 2022

This article analyzes the main themes in the critical reception of John Antill’s orchestral ballet Corroboree (1944), a musical representation of Indigenous culture by a non-Indigenous composer widely regarded as the most prominent piece of Australian classical music composed before the 1960s. In the historiography of Australian music that developed in the 1960s and 1970s, Antill’s work occupied a foundational position as the moment when Australian composition purportedly caught up with developments in international musical modernism. The reception history demonstrates, however, that Corroboree was rarely described in reviews as “modern,” “contemporary,” or “new,” especially in the two decades after its 1946 premiere. I argue that Corroboree’s positioning as Australia’s attainment of musical modernity was a retrospective interpretation by modernist writers associated with the compositional “new wave” of the 1960s and reflected their rethinking of Australian music history as a modernist teleology.

In both international and Australian reviews, responses most frequently reference tropes and concepts associated with primitivism and exoticism. Primitivist language occurs throughout the whole course of the work’s reception, whereas exoticizing terms such as “weird” and “bizarre” are more frequent in the early years, before its modernist reinterpretation. Importantly, this early reception corresponds with recent analyses of Antill’s compositional aims and Nicholas Thomas’s notion of settler primitivism. Thomas described a type of primitivism broadly distinct from modernist primitivism’s aesthetics of formal innovation, cultural renewal, and emulation of the “primitive.” Settler primitivism is instead a type of representation and identity-work in settler societies based on the nationalist desire of settler artists to create a sense of belonging through identification with local Indigenous cultures. In the case of Corroboree, as understandings of the work in exoticist terms waned, the reception shifted and its primitivism tended to be framed in relation to modernism’s concern with stylistic innovation and formalism.

Transketolase (TKT), an enzyme in the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), bi-directionally regulates the carbon flux between the PPP and glycolysis. Loss of TKT in adipose tissues decreased glycolysis and increased lipolysis and uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) expression, protecting mice from high-fat diet-induced obesity. However, the role of TKT in brown adipose tissue (BAT)-dependent glucose homeostasis under normal chow diet remains to be elucidated. We found that TKT ablation increased levels of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), promoting glucose uptake and glycogen accumulation in BAT. Using the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mouse model, we discovered that enhanced glucose uptake due to TKT deficiency in BAT contributed to decreasing blood glucose and weight loss, protecting mice from STZ-induced diabetes. Mechanistically, TKT deficiency decreased the level of thioredoxin-interacting protein, a known inhibitor for GLUT4, by decreasing NADPH and glutathione levels and inducing oxidative stress in BAT. Therefore, our data reveal a new role of TKT in regulating the anti-diabetic function of BAT as well as glucose homeostasis.

Effect of forest fires on forest plant complexes contaminated by radionuclides
Authors:   Polissia National University, Zhytomyr, Ukraine, Romanchuck L.D. , Ustymenko V.I.
Published: November 2022

Among the most pressing threats to the existence of forest plant complexes of the nature reserve fund is the pyrogenic danger, which is exacerbated by changes in the natural hydrolytic regime and global climate change, the driving effects of which are currently difficult to fully assess. The article highlights the results of a study of the forest plant complexes and soil state of the nature reserve "Drevlyanskyi" in Zhytomyr region after the fires. The results of the field survey of plantations, agrochemical and radiological analysis of soil indicators are presented. Studies show a change in the composition of forest plant complexes, a reduction in the number of herbaceous species, and a decrease in the area of moss and lichen cover. The surveyed area is characterized by significant spatial heterogeneity of the main agrochemical and physicochemical parameters of the soil. There was a slight increase in the content of heavy metals in the soil, however, the indicators did not exceed the maximum allowable concentrations in these areas. To assess the radiation situation after fires on the territory of the nature reserve, the indicators of the density of soil pollution with 137Cs and 90Sr were determined. The authors recommended a set of measures to improve the efficiency of nature reserves. Adherence to the recommendations will help to increase the environmental sustainability of forest plant complexes and will minimize the occurrence of fires and their consequences.

Published: November 2022

Objective This study evaluated the impact of head computed tomography (CT) on clinical decision-making about older adults with acute altered mental status (AMS) in the emergency department in terms of CT’s diagnostic yield, emergency department length of stay, and changes in medical strategy. It also attempted to find predictors of an acute imaging abnormality.Methods This was a 1-year, retrospective, single-center observational study of patients aged ≥75 years who underwent noncontrast head CT because of an isolated episode of AMS. The acute positive CT findings were ischemic strokes, hemorrhages, tumors, demyelinating lesions, hydrocephalus, and intracranial infections.Results A total of 594 CTs were performed, of which 38 (6.4%) were positive. The main etiology of AMS was sepsis (29.1%). Changes in medical strategy were more common in patients with a positive CT, and the major changes were ordering additional neuro exams (odds ratio [OR], 95.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 38.4–233.8; P<0.001), adjusting treatments (OR, 12.2; 95% CI, 5.0–29.5; P<0.001), and referral to a neurologic unit (OR, 7.3; 95% CI, 3.0–17.5; P<0.01). Three factors were significantly associated with a positive outcome: Glasgow Coma Scale <13 (OR, 8.5; 95% CI, 2.3–28.9; P<0.001), head wound (OR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.1–8.2; P=0.025), and dehydration (OR, 0.3; 95% CI, 0.1–0.4; P=0.021). For elderly patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale ≥13 and no head wound or clinical dehydration, the probability of a positive CT was 0.02 (95% CI, 0.01–0.04). Considering only those patients, the diagnostic yield fell to 1.7%.Conclusion In elderly patients, the causes of AMS are primarily extracerebral. Randomized clinical trials are needed to validate a clinical pathway for selecting patients who require emergent neuroimaging.

The Trinity Pigtoe, Fusconaia chunii (Lea, 1862), is a freshwater mussel endemic to the Trinity River drainage in Texas. Here, we report the first population of F. chunii in the San Jacinto River drainage in Texas. We identified three specimens of F. chunii using DNA barcoding, which were morphologically indistinguishable from syntopic Fusconaia flava (Rafinesque, 1820). A similar issue occurs in the Trinity River drainage. Fusconaia chunii is listed as state threatened, and future research is necessary to assess its status within the San Jacinto River drainage
Conformational effect of Pt2Ru3 nanoparticle on surface coverage of CO/H2 by materials informatics-integrated computational method

Published: November 2022

We investigated CO coverage (θCO) on Pt2Ru3nanoparticle with various morphologies in H2/CO mixture gas atmosphere at 333 K by grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo (GCMC) combined with quantitative structure–property relationship. In nanoparticles enclosed by (111) facets,θCOwas significantly reduced when the surface and the subsurface were composed of Pt and Ru, respectively. The nanoparticles with homogeneously mixed surface showed lowθCO, while the Janus-type showed highθCO. A similar tendency was obtained in the (100)-enclosed nanoparticle. These results revealed that the homogeneous mixing of Pt and Ru on the surface is essential to increase the CO tolerance.

Effects of Passiflora foetida on the Number of Purkinje Cells in the Cerebellum of Albino Rats
Authors: Susilowati Rina Priastini , Hartono Budiman
Published: November 2022

Permot (Passiflora foetida) is one type of plant that has been used as a mosquito coil. Besides being effective at killing Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, mosquito coils made from permot leaf extract are also effective at killing German cockroaches and house flies. Until now there have been no reports stating the side effects of using permot leaf extract in humans. This study was designed to demonstrate the harmful side effects of inhalation of smoked mosquito coils made from permot leaf extract on the cerebellar cortex of adult male rats. Thirty-five adult male rats were used in this study. Rats were divided into 7 groups, namely group 1 as a negative control (without exposure), group 2 as a positive control (transfluthrin exposure 3000 ppm), groups 3 to 7 were treatment groups of permot leaf extract with graded doses (500 ppm, 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, 3000 ppm, and 4000 ppm), and was treated for 12 weeks. All rats were sacrificed in a timely manner and cerebellar specimens were taken, prepared and observed using a light microscope. Previously, rats were weighed periodically to determine the effect of toxicity. The results showed that exposure to mosquito coil smoke made from 3000 ppm Transflutrin and 4000 ppm permot leaf extract caused weight loss in rats. Likewise on the weight of the rat cerebellum. The effect of decreasing the number of Purkinje cells also occurred in the group exposed to mosquito coils made from Transflutrin 3000 ppm and permot leaf extract 4000 ppm. Therefore, the safe and effective dose of mosquito coils made from permot leaves is less than 4000 ppm, because exposure to doses of more than 4000 ppm can cause degenerative changes in the cerebellar cortex.

Allopurinol is used to reduce total uric acid levels in the body into oxypurinol which can inhibit xanthine oxidase. Allopurinol inhibits the precursors of uric acid formation, xanthine, and hypoxanthine. However, consumption of the drugs can cause side effects on the liver. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of allopurinol induction on the liver histopathology of male mice (Mus musculus) DDY strain. The method used in this research was an experimental design used post-test only that was divided into 4 groups of 4 mice per group. The control group (P0) was given 0.5% Na-CMC, and groups I, II, and III (P1, P2, and P3) were induced by allopurinol at 10 mg/kg BW, 20 mg/kg BW, and 30 mg/kg BW for 14 days. Allopurinol induction was performed by oral gavage. The results of the research showed that treatment with allopurinol caused changes in the mice’s body weight, liver index, liver morphology, and histological structure of the liver tissue, including necrosis, steatosis, leukocyte infiltration, binuclear hepatocytes, hepatocyte swelling, congestion, sinusoid dilatation, and hemorrhage. The level of liver damage increased in line with the dose used. This research indicated that the higher the allopurinol level, the higher the level of alteration in the liver section structure. Long-term use of allopurinol can cause damage to the structure of mice liver (liver toxicity).

There is little documentation of bamboo species diversity and distribution in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. This study aimed to provide information on the diversity and distribution of Maluku’s bamboo species. The research was conducted in March‒April 2021 at the Herbarium Bogoriense (BO), National Research and Innovation Agency. Herbarium specimens of bamboo in BO collected from the Maluku Islands (Provinces of Maluku and North Maluku) were studied alongside online scanned images of herbarium specimens. Bamboo species were re-identified and validated. A literature study was conducted to enrich the data. A distribution map of bamboo species in the Maluku Islands was compiled. Data were analyzed and presented descriptively. We built an identification key for the bamboo species in the Maluku Islands. There are 16 species and eight genera of bamboo in the Maluku Islands: Bambusa glaucophylla, B. maculata, B. multiplex, B. spinosa, B. tuldoides, B. vulgaris, Dendrocalamus asper, Gigantochloa atter, G. robusta, Neololeba amahussana, N. atra, Phyllostachys aurea, Racemobambos ceramica, Schizostachyum brachycladum, S. lima, and Thyrsostachys siamensis. These bamboo species were found across Maluku Province (Buru, Ambon, Seram, Kei Kecil, Kei Besar, Yamdena, and Tanimbar) and North Maluku Province (Ternate, Tidore, Halmahera, Obi, and Sula) at an altitude of 1‒1100 m above sea level in primary and secondary forests, limestone, peatland edges, city parks, and gardens.

Nusa Lembongan has high marine biodiversity, including seagrass. Seagrass is a plant that lives submerged in a marine or estuary water that functions as a nursery ground, trapping sediment, and beach protector, so it is important to know the condition of seagrass coverage, especially in Nusa Lembongan for managing the Nusa Penida Marine Protected Area. This study aimed to understand the condition of seagrass coverage and the factors influencing the existence of its ecosystem in Nusa Lembongan. According to reslut in two stations, it was found that six of the twelve types of seagrasses in Indonesia, namely Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea serrulata, Cymodocea rotundata, Halodule pinifolia, and Halophila ovalis. From the two stations (LMB01 and LMB02), the total seagrass coverage was 38.10±30.98% or the medium category. The seagrass communities in the station areas were generally formed by 3 types of seagrasses; Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea serrulata, and Cymodocea rotundata. LMB02 has higher seagrass coverage than LMB01. The seagrass coverage is inversely proportional to the intensity of human activity.
The Epilithic Diatom Community as a Bioindicator of water quality Brangkal Subwatershed in the Mojokerto Area
Authors: Prahardika Bayu Agung , Styawan Widi Muhammad Lutsfi Dwi
Published: November 2022

Diatoms are widely used as bioindicators of water quality because of their short life cycle and sensitivity to changes of environmental conditions in waters.  One type of diatom that is used as a bioindicator is an epilithic diatom. Epilithic diatoms are one of the diatom microalgae communities attached to rock, so they are difficult to be carried away by currents. This study aimed to determine the type, composition, abundance, diversity, and dominance of epilithic diatoms found in the waters of the Brangkal subwatershed, and to determine the quality of water in the Brangkal subwatershed based on the epilithic diatom tropic index. Epilithic diatom samples were taken from 4 stations in the Brangkal subwatershed, Mojokerto Regency at the beginning of the dry season (July-August). The analysis carried out includes abundance, diversity index, dominance index, and Diatom Trophic Index (TDI). Based on the results of the study, 17 genera of epilithic diatoms were found, with the highest abundance of epilithic diatoms, including Navicula, Cocconeis, Nitszchia, and Gomphonema. The diversity index of all stations was in the medium category, with a value between 1.206 to 1.882. The lowest dominance index at station 1 was 0.167 and the highest was at station 4 with 0.373. In addition, the observed water quality is based on the Diatom Trophic Index (TDI), stations 1 to 3 are in a good category, and stations 4 are in a bad category.

Authors: De Souza Luiz Felipe Coelho , Bonfim Mariana Pereira
Published: November 2022

A partir de 2019 entrou em vigor uma nova norma sobre arrendamento mercantil, o IFRS 16, tendo sua adaptação para o mercado brasileiro através do CPC 06 (R2), onde reapresenta a forma de reconhecimento e contabilização dos arrendamentos mercantis, a fim de trazer mais fidedignidade as demonstrações e não permitir que a norma sustente práticas de off-balance sheet. A pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar quais os impactos nas demonstrações financeiras das empresas aéreas abertas, após a atualização da norma. Através da análise das demonstrações contábeis da Azul e da Gol, observou-se que a Demonstração do Resultado foi a mais impactada pelo IFRS 16, aumentando o lucro bruto e operacional, além do EBITDA e EBIT, trazendo indicadores melhores para ambas as empresas. Por outro lado, a nova norma também afetou os passivos da empresa, com o reconhecimento da obrigação de pagamento dos arrendamentos, aumentando o índice de endividamento geral e os juros das empresas.
INTERACTION BETWEEN GROUPTHINK PREDICTORS AND MAINTAINING THEIR MODERATE VALUES
Authors:   The University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, Grgic Damir , Stare Janez ,   The University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the paper is to examine how groupthink predictors interact with each other and identify the movement of their values. That can simplify how to prevent groupthink. Survey data was collected from 315 employees of working groups. The survey was used to collect groupthink data through its eight predictors. Multiple linear regression was used for analyzing data collected from the survey. All groupthink predictors correlate with each other, but the study also shows a division of predictors into positive and negative predictors. When positive predictors have a high value, negative predictors will have a low value and vice versa. That shows that it is not recommended to have a high or low value of groupthink predictors, because that may cause groupthink. Due to the lack of research conducted on the questionnaire, the main research challenge was to establish a correlation between those new predictors and to explain some of the questions raised in the criticism of the original theory.
Mechanism-Based Explanations in the Impact Evaluation of Public Interventions: Digging Deeper into Why and How Programmes Worked or Failed to Work
Authors: Kubera Paulina
Published: November 2022

Objectives:The aim of the article is to consider the evaluation of public interventions through the prism of evidencebased policy (EBP) as well as, more specifically, its potential to address the problem of how to produce in the process of impact evaluation usable knowledge that can help improve policymaking and policy implementation which can be accumulated over time, where evaluations will not be single endeavours and one-off studies, but will contribute to the growing body of knowledge.
Research Design & Methods:The article provides a critical overview of the research literature on evaluation approaches and methods as tools for gathering and apprising evidence relevant for policymaking and policy implementation.
Findings:Building upon the identified limitations of the traditional input/output approach to impact evaluation of public interventions, alternative approaches to evaluation are considered that make use of a theory that properly explicates the causal mechanisms linking programme activities with programme outcomes, confronting the mechanisms with empirical observations. As a strategy for synthesising the gained knowledge, the realist synthesis is considered as being more appropriate for reviewing research on complex social interventions (rather than traditional meta-analysis).
Implications  /  Recommendations:The article demonstrates how theory-based evaluation with mechanistic explanation and realist synthesis can contribute to growing evidence for policy needs, identifying also their limitations and practical problems related to their implementation.
Contribution  /  Value  Added:The article contributes to the existing pool of knowledge by providing important insights into how to use mechanism-based explanations in impact evaluation to make stronger causal claims and enhance policy-learning.
