Vegetation Sampling Concepts for Compensatory Mitigation Sites
Authors: DeBerry Douglas
Published: December 2023

I n 2018, the Norfolk District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), in their roles as co-chairs of Virginia’s Interagency Review Team (IRT), proposed modifications to the Virginia Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) Template (Template). The Template is a document used to establish compensatory wetland and stream mitigation banks in the state, serving as a planning-level tool with minimum standards and design criteria for that purpose. Prospective mitigation banks are approved via IRT ratification of an acceptable MBI, which provides the necessary documentation for the “…establishment, use, operation, and management…” of mitigation banks in Virginia.
Eden Again: Hope in the Marshes of Iraq
Authors: Smardon Richard
Published: December 2023

Every once in a while this reviewer discovers a book that peaks one’s curiosity, addresses wetland restoration, is not a wetland science book per se but incorporates human wetland lifestyle dependency. Examples of such would include those catching crayfish the Atchafalaya in Louisiana or those fishing on the Georgia coastal wetlands. This reviewer has long been intrigued with human ecology, and the roles of nongovernment organizations in wetland management (Smardon 2009). Suzanne Alwash’s book Eden Again: Hope in the Marshes of Iraq is such a book. This book reveals the history of the Southern Iraq wetlands fed by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers from ancient times to about 2012.
Fish Fry Lake: Perspectives from an Inventor on the Application of Created Floating Islands for Water Quality Renovation
Authors: Kania Bruce
Published: December 2023

Today Fish Fry Lake is a highly productive wild fishery, and also a long-term experiment tracking how the resource of nonpoint nutrient-loaded water can be optimally managed. The Fish Fry Lake story has relevance to water stewardship across much of the developed world where water quality is impacted by agricultural-based nutrient loading. Fish Fry Lake is located on the east side of Yellowstone County in south-central Montana. The lake covers 6.5 surface acres, is 28 feet deep at its deepest point, and contains about 55 acre-feet of water at full pool. Groundwater influenced by agriculture infiltrates to the lake and discharges at a typical rate of 65-85 gallons per minute. When the lake was converted from a seasonal pond to a perennial one in 2005, it displayed the typical attributes of a eutrophic waterway. The lake surface was occasionally completely covered with filamentous blue-green algae, with occasional patches of cyanobacteria.
BioHaven Floating Islands: Modeling and Their Role in Water Resource Recovery
Authors: Reinsel Mark
Published: December 2023

BioHaven floating islands remove excess nutrients and other contaminants from lakes, streams and wastewater lagoons, and are the flagship product of Floating Island International (FII). A BioHaven floating island or floating treatment wetland (FTW) is an example of biomimicry – the science of adapting designs from nature to solve modern problems. BioHavens leverage natural microbial processes to clean water, using a combination of microbial (bacteria and algae) and plant growth to effectively take up, precipitate and/or filter contaminants from water. The matrix and plant roots that grow through it provide an activated surface area for microbes. Producing a sticky biofilm, these microbes are responsible for breaking down nutrients and other contaminants.
Teaching Redox as a Chinese Buffet
Authors: Wilcox Douglas
Published: December 2023

I have taught Wetland Ecology 25 times - 15 as an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and UMDearborn while I worked at the USGS-Great Lakes Science Center in Ann Arbor and 10 in my new life in academia as the Empire Innovation Professor of Wetland Science at SUNY--The College at Brockport in my native western New York State. Surprisingly, my favorite lecture of all time is on oxidation-reduction, or redox. Here is the story behind that strange outcome and an overview of the lecture. In my first year at Michigan, I presented a somewhat straightforward lecture on redox from the Mitsch and Gosselink textbook (first edition) that followed the reading assignment. I thought it was going well until I saw the need to pose this question, “When I say ‘ion,’ does everyone know what I mean?” Four students in the class of 40+ informed me that they did not, which was reasonable because they were landscape architecture grad students taking the course because they had interests in design work for wetland restorations and had no chemistry background.
Desert Wetland Ecosystems: Springs, Seeps and Irrigation by Paul J. DuBowy
Authors: DuBowy Paul
Published: December 2023

While walking through endless xeric shrublands in the Great Basin or far-western Great Plains many people may think they are stark, barren and devoid of water. John Wesley Powell, an early director of the U.S. Geological Survey, pointed out in an important 1878 government study that the defining characteristic of the Great Plains and the West was its lack of water and stated that much of the area would be uninhabitable without extensive systems of irrigation. The region is in the rain shadow of the North American Cordillera. To the north the area is typical cold desert –only 200-300 mm of annual precipitation with long, cold winters and short, hot summers; to the south long, protracted drought periods may be punctuated by rain events from the Pacific Ocean.
Less Water in the Face of Climate Change Reduces Erosion Vulnerability of South Africa’s Wetlands
Authors: Ellery Fred
Published: December 2023

Given the fact that southern Africa is semi-arid and situated at an exceptionally high altitude for a region of the world that has not undergone plate collision for a half a billion years, wetlands are prone to degradation by gully erosion. This is because wetlands typically form an integrated component of fluvial systems and evolve a longitudinal slope that is appropriate for their discharge. Factors that increase discharge in fluvial systems, such as hardening of surfaces through urbanisation or overgrazing in wetland watersheds, lead to increased erosion as the longitudinal slope of wetlands is too steep for the available discharge. Given that decreased rainfall is predicted in southern Africa due to climate change scenarios, wetlands are less likely to be subjected to levels of erosion currently witnessed. Despite a reduction in water inputs due to lower rainfall, this is good news for many southern African wetlands.
Assessing New Developments in IRIS Technology
Authors: Park Evan
Published: December 2023

Reducing soil conditions may impact more static properties like soil morphology, as well as more dynamic soil chemical properties and microbial ecology. Identifying reducing conditions is especially important when evaluating wetland soil systems. Indicator of Reduction in Soils (IRIS) tubes have been approved by the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils (NTCHS) as a method to identify reducing soil conditions. Recently, a new development in IRIS technology utilizing flexible films has emerged. IRIS films are strips of vinyl sheeting painted with iron- or manganeseoxide paint. The films are intended to simplify field work and facilitate acquisition and computer analysis of IRIS images. This mesocosm study demonstrates that IRIS films perform comparably to IRIS tubes and accurately document reducing soil conditions.
Experimental Wetlaculture (Wetlands + Agriculture) Mesocosm Compound Established in Naples, Florida, to Restore Wetlands, Solve Harmful Algal Blooms, and Develop Sustainable Agriculture by William J. Mitsch, Ph.D.
Authors: Mitsch William
Published: December 2023

We have been using ecological engineering principles to design and construct experimental mesocosm systems in Ohio, Florida and elsewhere for the past 2 years to investigate a new landscape-scale approach to integrate created or restored wetland retention of nutrients from agricultural and urban stormwater with a more sustainable agriculture. We refer to our proposed system as “wetlaculture” because it integrates wetlands and agriculture.
Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals by Salvinia natans in a Kashmir Himalayan RAMSAR Site
Authors: Ahmad Syed
Published: December 2023

Heavy metals are metals having a density greater or equal to 5 g/cc. In water (both surface water and ground water) they pose a serious environmental problem threatening not only the aquatic ecosystem but also human health through contamination of drinking water. Being persistent, heavy metals accumulate in water, soil, sediment and living organisms. Exposure to heavy metals has been linked with developmental retardation, various cancers, kidney damage, autoimmunity, and even death in some instances when exposed to very high concentrations (Glover-Kerkvil et al. 1995). Essential metals such as copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) have normal physiological regulatory functions, but many also bioaccumulate and reach toxic levels. Non-essential heavy metals are usually potent toxins and their bio-accumulation in tissues leads to intoxication, decreased fertility, cellular and tissue damage, cell death and disjunction of a variety of organs. High levels of Cd (cadmium), Cu, Pb (lead), and Fe can act as ecological toxins in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.

Antecedent Wetland Ecologists - German and Austrian in the Nineteenth Century by Arnold van der Valk
Authors: Van Der Valk Arnold
Published: December 2023

Please note that this is the first of a series in WSP. Many of the people, and even institutions, who influenced the development of the wetland science as a field have recently died or closed, and many other pioneering wetland scientists have retired or will soon retire. Given this, we would like to capture the early history of our science by getting the people who created it to write about their reasons for becoming wetland scientists and their contributions to the field. This series of articles will focus on two major topics: (1) the contributions of major scientists working in wetlands to the development of wetland science, and (2) the roles of major wetland institutions and organizations in the development of wetland science. Each article will highlight major advances, organizational and/or intellectual, that have shaped wetland science in the United States and around the world.

Climate Change and the Fate of Coastal Wetlands
Authors: Craft Christopher
Published: December 2023

Coastal wetlands, including tidal marshes and forests, provide a number of key ecosystem services, including habitat for recreationally and commercially important finfish and shellfish, protection from wind, waves, storms and floods, and removal of excess nutrients, namely nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), from agricultural and urban runoff. Along the coast, climate change will be manifested as rising sea level with attendant coastal flooding and saltwater intrusion. A more immediate impact which has already been experienced is drought, particularly in late summer and fall. These processes will lead to migration of tidal wetlands inland, where possible, and changes in habitat as freshwater wetlands convert to brackish marsh or open water

Exotics for Entertainment: A Reconstruction of the Roman Exotic Beast Trade (First to Third Centuries AD)
Authors: Houston Jordon Alex
Published: December 2023

The exotic beast trade for public spectacles in the Roman provinces is fraught with gaps in the historical record concerning its organization and infrastructure. Much of the evidence regarding these aspects of the animal trade, dating from the first to third centuries AD, is purely from the benefactor’s perspective. There remain several mentions of ‘hunter troupes’, such as the Telegenii, who provided trained beasts and bestiarii (hunters) for these local games. This indicates that there was an established network of traders who provided these services during the Roman Imperial period. However, little is known about how they functioned. This paper proposes the use of comparative techniques to comment on how these troupes captured, transported, trained and traded animals for public spectacles. This discussion will analyze other contemporary Empire-wide trade networks, like the grain and slave trades, in addition to those of other cultures that imported exotic animals. By analyzing trade networks and the subsequent challenges faced by other cultures that imported exotic beasts, it is possible to explore how the networks of the Roman beast trade functioned.

Solution Approach to Cutting Stock Problems Using Iterative Trim Loss Algorithm and Monte-Carlo Simulation
Authors: KÖKSAL Özge , EROĞLU Ergün
Published: December 2023

Cutting Stock Problems are the most studied NP-Hard combinatorial problems among optimization problems. An One-dimensional Cutting Stock Problem (1-CSP), which aims to create cutting patterns to minimize trim loss, is one of the best known optimization problems. The difficulty of the solution stages and the lack of a definite solution method that can be applied to all problems have caused these problems to attract a lot of attention by researchers. This study includes a hybrid solution algorithm combined with iterative trim loss algorithm and Monte Carlo simulations, and a comparative study of the method with the solution methods in the literature, for the solution of orders to be obtained with minimum cutting loss from the same type of stocks.

Comparative Analysis of Problem-Based Learning and Traditional Instruction Methods in Postgraduate Studies: A Synthesis of Effects on Learning Outcomes
Authors: USANMAZ Ebubekir , BASAL Ahmet
Published: December 2023

This research aimed to evaluate and synthesize the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) compared to traditional instruction (TI) in various learning outcomes. The study, using a sequential explanatory mixed research approach, reviewed 74 postgraduate dissertations from Türkiye, spanning from 2009 to 2021, that matched specific inclusion criteria. Qualitative data analysis revealed that the majority of these dissertations were master’s level and completed in 2010. These studies frequently implemented experimental interventions in middle school science classes, typically over five weeks with groups of 21-30 students. The quantitative analysis showed that PBL had a significant overall impact, with a General Effect Size (GES) of 0.734 across all variables. This effect was divided into specific clusters: knowledge (GES of 0.992), skills (GES of 0.696), and emotions (GES of 0.406). Further, PBL particularly affected academic achievement (GES of 0.842), scientific process skills (GES of 0.351), and course attitude (GES of 0.402), which were the most commonly assessed variables in the respective dimensions of knowledge, skills, and emotions. Additionally, PBL showed a substantial impact (GES of 0.799) on variables covering 21st-century competency framework skills. In summary, the study found that PBL is significantly more effective than traditional instructional methods across various learning outcomes, particularly in enhancing knowledge, skills, and emotional aspects of learning. This study suggests that integrating PBL activities can significantly enhance the attainment of curriculum objectives.

Published: December 2023

The study is devoted to evaluating of turnaround strategies used by Russian airlines to overcome negative influence of 2022 crisis caused by sanctions pressure of West regulators in terms of ability to create value both for financial and non-financial stakeholders. To conduct a quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of turnaround strategies, evaluation methods based on traditional accounting indicators were used, as well as VBM indicators that take into account an opportunity cost. A qualitative analysis includes the estimation of management actions and decisions in terms of whether they violate interest of companies’ major stakeholders. The study was carried out on the basis of such indicators as: PBITD/CE, PBITD/TD, ROA,Gross margin, EBITDA margin, Net Debt to EBITDA, EVA, Sustainable growth index and Interests harmonized index. As a result of the study, the features of turnaround strategies used by Russian airlines, namely PJSC Utair and LLC Pobeda were studied. The accounting ratios as well as the dynamic of economic profit were evaluated. The Growth sustainability matrix was constructed. The effectiveness of turnaround strategies in terms of value creation both for financial and non-financial stakeholders was assessed and the conclusions about prospects of companies’ further development were made. The above results can be taken into account in the development of more sustainable turnaround strategies by other companies faced with challenges.
Three Male Primary Student Teachers’ Intersections of Languaging and Teaching
Authors: Sexton Steven
Published: December 2023

Background: This paper reports on an investigation of male primary student teachers about their planning and teaching over the course of the 2021 year. Three male student teachers’ experiences are presented.
Purpose: This study highlights how they negotiated the intersections of self with school, identity, and gender as male student teachers.
Method: In weekly semi-structured peer group discussions student teachers were asked to describe the decisions that they made in planning, to reflect on the nature of the decision-making process that they went through, and about the consequences of this process. As necessary, questions were posed to the groups to further stimulate discussions. Written notes were taken from these discussions and used in combination with visiting lecturer notes about their teaching practice.
Results: It was through the combination of these classroom activities and teaching practice observations that ethnomethodology and symbolic interactionism intersected with these student teachers’ self with school, identity, and gender. Ethnomethodology concerns how social order is established through social interactions while symbolic interactionism includes both verbal and non-verbal communication. It has been known that past experiences are the foundations of future experiences. The three male primary student teachers presented in this study support this assertion through their inward-looking and/or outward looking narratives.
Conclusion: This study adds to our understanding of the importance of what messages schools, colleagues, and the wider community are sending to male primary teachers about their work and worth as primary teachers.
Occasionalisms in Social Networks During the Pandemic
Authors: Gabrielova Elena , Lopatina Vitalia
Published: December 2023

Background: This study explores and analyses occasionalisms that were created by social network users during the COVID-19 pandemic. The theoretical framework of this research is based on observing the concepts of occasionalism, neologism and nonce word. 
Purpose: To indicate occasionalisms in the Russian and English languages and compare them in terms of word-formation, frequencies, part of speech and meanings, thus making a contribution to the understanding of how occasionalisms emerge in these languages.
Method: A qualitative and quantitative content analyses are used for data collection. The sample is obtained from different social networks (‘Facebook[1]’, ‘Twitter[2]’, ‘Reddit’ and ‘VK’). Results: Occasionalisms are created mostly through blending, compounding, and affixation. Mixed word-formation methods are also used. The most used parts of speech appear to be nouns and adjectives. The most Russian occasionalisms are ironic, expressive and attract attention, while English occasionalisms are not that expressive as they refer to medical or political concepts. Borrowings from English in the Russian occasionalisms are also indicated. The glossary of 106 occasionalisms in the Russian and English languages is introduced at the end of the study.
Conclusion: The results might expand the knowledge of new vocabulary items in the field of lexicology and stylistics, and have practical implications in language teaching and translations, as occasionalisms may frequently create obstacles for foreign language students and translators. They also may serve as a basis for further studies on neologisms, occasionalisms and nonce words generated during the pandemic and cover the gap in comparative studies of the Russian and English occasionalisms. In addition, the obtained results might be beneficial for future research in sociolinguistics and sociocultural linguistics providing greater awareness of the linguistic and sociocultural factors that impact the adoption and use of occasionalisms in both languages.
Exploring Reading Attitudes, Reading Self-Efficacy, and Reading Proficiency in a Blended Learning Context Among EFL Learners
Authors: Cancino Marco , Gonzalez Nicol
Published: December 2023

Background. Affective variables such as second language (L2) reading attitudes (RAs) and L2 reading self-efficacy (RSE) have been regarded as factors which influence academic results in regular face-to-face reading instruction. Research has reported that although positive RAs among adolescents may decline as they go through school, they still engage in diverse formal and informal reading environments involving printed and/or digital resources. These attitudes can be impacted by the sudden change in the way instruction is delivered in blended learning contexts which emerged due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Purpose. The present study applied a mixed methods approach to explore the relationship between the L2 RAs, L2 RSE, and L2 reading proficiency (RP) of Chilean high school students in a blended-learning context.
Method. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was adopted to gather data from 124 Chilean high school students. The quantitative data collection was carried out by means of two adapted surveys assessing RAs and RSE, while the reading section of the Preliminary English Test (PET) was administered to determine the RP of participants. The qualitative aspect of the study involved semi structured interviews with ten participants.
Results. Participants displayed moderately positive levels of RA and RSE. Furthermore, a strong correlation was found between RAs and RSE, and RSE was significantly correlated with RP. Qualitative data analysis revealed that the  emergency remote teaching context during the pandemic affected student reading behaviour in relation to the attitudes towards recreational digital reading, and that teacher instruction can influence their RAs and RSE.
Conclusion. It is essential for EFL teachers to nurture student L2 RSE by means of effective and consistent reading activities with increasing challenge that include synchronous and asynchronous learning. Since most participants preferred to complete reading tasks in a recreational digital setting rather than an academic digital one, teachers should incorporate academic reading activities which are more engaging and contextualised to student age and preferences to effectively use the synchronous and asynchronous time at their disposal in blended settings.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada epilepsi hastalarında bilişsel işlevlerin anksiyete ve depresyon ile olan ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, Mart 2021-Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında nöroloji polikliniğine başvuran 43 epilepsi hastası ve 59 sağlıklı gönüllü olmak üzere toplam 102 kişi dahil edildi. Her iki gruba Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ), Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği (BAÖ) ve Montreal Bilişsel Değerlendirme Ölçeği (MoCA) uygulandı.
Bulgular: Çalışmamızda hasta grubunda orta-şiddetli depresyon oranı %44.2; anksiyete oranı %53.4 olarak tespit edildi. Buna ek olarak epilepsi hastalarında MoCA puanlarının anlamlı olarak kontrol grubundan daha düşük olduğu da izlendi (p<0.001). Korelasyon analizinde ise hastaların BDÖ ile MoCA puanları arasında negatif yönde, zayıf ve anlamlı bir ilişki saptandı (p= 0.012). Bununla birlikte hastaların BAÖ ile MoCA puanları arasında anlamlı korelasyon izlenmedi (p= 0.097).
Sonuç: Bu çalışmaya göre bilişsel işlev bozukluğu, psikiyatrik komorbiditeler ve epilepsi arasında karmaşık bir ilişki olduğu söylenebilir.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı serebral palsi (SP) tanılı çocuklarda konvansiyonel tedaviye ek olarak uygulanan kinezyolojik bantlamanın (KT) oturma, gövde dengesi ve fonksiyonel bağımsızlığa olan etkilerini gözlemlemektir.
Gereç ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya, kaba motor fonksiyonel sınıflandırma sistemine (KMFSS) göre seviye II, III, IV veya V olan 4-12 yaş arası 32 SP tanılı çocuk dahil edildi. Çocuklar rastgele deney (n = 16, KT ve fizyoterapi alan) ve kontrol (n = 16, sadece fizyoterapi alan) grubu olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Deney grubuna konvansiyonel fizyoterapi uygulamasına ilave olarak 6 hafta boyunca haftada 3 gün KT uygulaması yapıldı. Her iki grubun tedavi başında ve 6. hafta sonunda Gövde Bozukluk Skalası (GBS), Pediatrik Denge Testi (PDT), Kaba Motor Fonksiyon Ölçeği-88 (KMFÖ-88) ve Pediatrik fonksiyonel bağımsızlık ölçütü (Wee-FIM) testleri ile sırasıyla gövde dengeleri, denge, kaba motor işlev düzeyleri ve günlük yaşam aktivitelerindeki bağımsızlığı değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Tedavi öncesi değerlendirmeler karşılaştırıldığında, hastaların statik ve dinamik oturma seviyeleri, denge testleri, kaba motor fonksiyonları ve fonksiyonel bağımsızlık düzeyleri her iki grupta benzerdi (p>0.05). Her iki grubun da tedavi öncesi ve tedavi sonrası (6. Hafta sonunda) değerlendirmelerinde GBS statik ve dinamik skorları, PDT ve Wee-FIM skorları ile KMFÖ-88 total skoru açısından başlangıca göre anlamlı bir düzelme saptandı (p<0.05). Ancak her iki grubun tedavi sonrası skorları tüm parametrelerde benzerdi (p>0.05).
Sonuç: Kinezyolojik bantlama SP’li çocuklarda konvansiyonel fizyoterapiye ek olarak uygulandığında tüm fonksiyonel değerlendirmelerde olumlu etkiye sahiptir. KT’nin noninvaziv, ucuz maliyetli, yan etkisi minimal bir yöntem olarak SP’nin rehabilitasyon sürecinde konvansiyonel yöntemlere ek olarak uygulanmasının pozitif etkiler sağlayabileceği görüşündeyiz.

En la literatura se promueven las intervenciones relacionadas con las competencias socioemocionales de los docentes, sin embargo, aún es incipiente la investigación respecto del efecto reportado en éstos. El presente estudio busca analizar la efectividad, aspectos de diseño y ejecución de los programas de intervención en competencias socioemocionales en docentes. El método utilizado fue una revisión sistemática de la literatura en las bases de datos Web of Science, Scopus y Eric de los últimos 10 años. La muestra que se obtuvo fue 4 investigaciones que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Los resultados muestran que los estudios se han desarrollado en Asia, con muestras menores a 200 participantes y se reportan positivos. Se identificaron variaciones en el tiempo de entrenamiento, metodologías y variables involucradas en el estudio. En conclusión, los programas de intervención en competencias socioemocionales tienen un efecto positivo en los docentes mejorando su percepción, comprensión, regulación emocional, empatía, eficacia y bienestar docente.

Published: December 2023

La atención educativa de los menores privados de libertad es una preocupación en lugares con altas tasas de violencia e inseguridad, como Honduras. Se propone la mentoría digital como una forma de favorecer la justicia social y la participación de la juventud. Para ello, se presenta un proyecto piloto llamado Cartas de Esperanza diseñado en la pandemia en colaboración con el Instituto Nacional para la Atención a Menores Infractores (INAMI). Se utiliza el instrumento de las cartas para lograr la implicación social, el desarrollo personal de las y los adolescentes y de sus competencias comunicativas. Los primeros resultados de las entrevistas a los participantes y al equipo de coordinación apuntan las dificultades técnicas, junto con las percepciones positivas de los participantes para el bienestar emocional de las y los menores. La experiencia muestra la importancia de la mentoría gracias a la tecnología, como una forma de acompañamiento educativo.

Published: December 2023

Esta investigación se realizó con objeto de conocer la eficacia educativa de utilizar un software profesional dentro de las aulas. Para ello, se desarrolló un Proyecto de Innovación Docente que se implementó en los estudiantes matriculados en dos asignaturas obligatorias del Grado de Publicidad y RR.PP. de la Universidad de Valladolid (n=201). Los estudiantes realizaron varias prácticas con el programa TOM Micro que se apoyaron con la grabación de cinco píldoras de conocimiento y la celebración de unas Jornadas científicas. Para medir su opinión sobre esta metodología docente se realizó una encuesta que fue cumplimentada por 145 estudiantes. Los resultados mostraron el agrado del alumnado por la utilización de softwares profesionales en el aula y un aumento de los conocimientos adquiridos de las asignaturas y del entorno publicitario vinculados al mayor conocimiento del software. Estos resultados reflejan la necesidad de utilizar, en la docencia, materiales de apoyo prácticos que complementen su formación teórica.

This study examines how well the Twin concatenation strategy for error-correcting capabilities performs with the BCH code. Low complexity BCH codes are the main focus. The quantity of mistakes introduced into the transmission channel has a significant impact on the quality of digital transmission. The Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) codes are frequently employed in storage and communication systems. In next-generation wireless networks, low-latency communication is one of the most crucial application situations. The time needed for a packet to be transmitted through a channel is a common definition of latency in communication-theoretic studies. However, due to the strict latency requirements and complexity-restricted receivers, the time needed for packet decoding must be taken into account in the overall delay analysis through precise modeling. The new Twin CC algorithm has been proved to perform better than the current approach.
