Colapso climático e a destruição do futuro
Authors: Saldanha Rafael Mofreita
Published: March 2021

Pretende-se explorar aqui alguns efeitos do colapso climático sobre nossa experiência do tempo. A hipótese aqui levantada é que as alterações antrópicas da estabilidade da Terra afetam a maneira como nos relacionamos com o futuro, pois a própria ideia de futuro se encontraria comprometida. Partiremos da noção de “estratos do tempo,” elaborada por Koselleck, para pensar em que medida essa crise afeta a nossa experiência do tempo. Antes disso era possível pensar a nossa experiência do tempo e da história como sendo construída a partir de certas repetições que serviam como fundo para acontecimentos. O colapso climático põe em questão essa imagem de um fundo, já que as repetições tomadas como naturais passam a ter seus ritmos alterados. Ao final do artigo, esboçaremos a proposta de uma espécie de disposição temporal alternativa, possibilitada por alguns elementos do pensamento ameríndio a partir de Danowski e Viveiros de Castro.
No balanço do tédio: Heidegger e o tédio como tonalidade afetiva fática
Authors: Casanova Marco Antonio
Published: March 2021

O intuito do presente texto é acompanhar as razões pelas quais Heidegger retoma em sua preleção de 1929/30 Os conceitos fundamentais da metafísica (mundo – finitude – solidão) o projeto de Ser e tempo de uma análise do existente humano e de uma descrição de suas crises existenciais como decisivas para as possibilidades de mobilização histórica do mundo, agora não mais a partir de uma tonalidade afetiva de matiz ontológica, a angústia, mas sim a partir de uma tonalidade afetiva fática, ou seja, uma tonalidade que possui um vínculo estrutural com o mundo histórico que é o nosso. Partindo daí, o texto analisa o aprofundamento das diversas figuras do tédio até o tédio dito profundo, assim como expõe o problema que impede uma vez mais que Heidegger consiga pensar de maneira consistente o acontecimento fundamental da singularização como via de acesso à temporialidade propriamente dita do ser, ou seja, a ontologia fundamental em sua ligação com a analítica existencial.

Metode Menentukan Klor dalam Sludge Oil: Perbandingan Metode Wet dan Metode Jena
Authors: Rahman Herliati , Salasa Akhirudin
Published: March 2021

Currently, the use of alternative fuels and raw materials (AFR) in the cement industry is very attractive. This is driven by demands for environmental sustainability and the efficiency of fuel and raw material costs. One of the materials that can be used as AFR is sludge oil. However, it needs to be ensured that the chlorine content in the sludge oil does not exceed the threshold so that it does not have a negative impact during the cement production process. It is known that if the chlorine content is more than the threshold, it can cause blocking or clogging of the separator and the kiln. This study aims to determine the performance of the Jena Multi EA 4000 instrument in determining the chlorine content in sludge oil quickly and accurately. Analytic Jena Multi EA 4000 is an Atomic Absorption Spectrometers (AAS) instrument that can be used for analysis of samples in the form of solids or slurries containing chlorine. As validation of the resulting analysis, the wet method is used, which as usual, to determine chlorine levels. From the statistic analysis, namely the F-test and T-test, We found that F-count equal to 0.0080 and F-table equal to 4.2839. it shows that F-count < F-table, indicating the difference in the variance of the two methods H0: s12 = s22 is accepted because there is no difference to the variability of these two tests and the value of T-count = -3.9717 and T-table = 2.1788 so that T-count <T-table is accepted because there is no difference in the average accuracy of the two methods H0: M1 = M2.

Status, Prospects and Challenges for Non-Timber Forest Products Conservation in Nepal: A Critical Review
Authors: Ghimire Pramod , Pudasaini Nabaraj , Lamichhane Uchita
Published: March 2021

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) consist of goods of biological origin other than wood, derived from forests, other wooded land and trees outside forests. The importance of NTFPs for sustaining rural livelihoods, fostering rural poverty alleviation, enhancing biodiversity conservation, and facilitating rural economic growth is well known in Nepal. In spite of these facts, NTFPs have not received the sustained and systematic support. With the gradual rise in population, unsustainable harvesting and depletion of resources, sustainable management of NTFPs has become a challenge. Similarly, the increasing global demand of NTFPs leads to over-exploitation of these resources that further leads to dwindling and adversely affecting the biodiversity. In this context, this paper intends to explore and analyze the conservation status, prospects and challenges for efficient and sustainable management of NTFPs in the context of Nepal.

Public Perceptions of the Cost of Paramedic Services in Saskatchewan, Canada
Authors: Ogunade Adeyemi , Luhanga Florence , Messer-Lepage Jacquie , Al-Mamun Khan MD Rashed
Published: March 2021

Introduction

Despite the increasingly important role of paramedics in Canada's healthcare system, the Canadian Health Act does not cover paramedic services. Anecdotal evidence indicates that the cost of paramedic services prevents many people in need from accessing this care. This article explores public perceptions of the cost of paramedic services in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Methods

Using a qualitative research design, we collected data from 56 participants in focus group sessions and semi-structured interviews designed to explore perceptions of paramedic services in Saskatchewan.

Results

The data indicated that participants perceived the cost of paramedic services to be too high, and that this perception may limit the use of paramedic services during medical emergencies. The data also suggested a lack of understanding of how paramedic service costs are calculated. Overall, participants expected the government to do more to subsidise these costs.

Conclusion

The results revealed a disconnect between public perceptions about the cost of paramedic services and the initiatives designed by the provincial government to alleviate these costs. They also highlight the need for better public education about and access to government programs designed to alleviate the cost of paramedic services.

Terminal sialylation determines the plasma half-life of von Willebrand factor (VWF). A role for macrophage galactose lectin (MGL) in regulating hyposialylated VWF clearance has recently been proposed. In this study, we showed that MGL influences physiological plasma VWF clearance. MGL inhibition was associated with a significantly extended mean residence time and 3-fold increase in endogenous plasma VWF antigen levels (P<0.05). Using a series of VWF truncations, we further demonstrated that the A1 domain of VWF is predominantly responsible for enabling the MGL interaction. Binding of both full-length and VWF-A1-A2-A3 to MGL was significantly enhanced in the presence of ristocetin (P<0.05), suggesting that the MGL-binding site in A1 is not fully accessible in globular VWF. Additional studies using different VWF glycoforms demonstrated that VWF O-linked glycans, clustered at either end of the A1 domain, play a key role in protecting VWF against MGLmediated clearance. Reduced sialylation has been associated with pathological, increased clearance of VWF in patients with von Willebrand disease. Herein, we demonstrate that specific loss of α2-3 linked sialylation from O-glycans results in markedly increased MGL-binding in vitro, and markedly enhanced MGL-mediated clearance of VWF in vivo. Our data further show that the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) does not have a significant role in mediating the increased clearance of VWF following loss of O-sialylation. Conversely however, we observed that loss of N-linked sialylation from VWF drives enhanced circulatory clearance predominantly via the ASGPR. Collectively, our data support the hypothesis that in addition to regulating physiological VWF clearance, the MGL receptor works in tandem with ASGPR to modulate enhanced clearance of aberrantly sialylated VWF in the pathogenesis of von Willebrand disease.

Published: March 2021

Background: The human adrenal gland shows a distinct proportion of two histological zones, named the cortex and the medulla, from outer inwards, in its histological appearance with differences in its cellular components and functions.

Objective: The present study aims to see the variation in the proportion of the cortex and the medulla of the adrenal glands with age in a Bangladeshi population.

Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was done in the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, from July 2008 to June 2009, based on collection of 140 postmortem human adrenal glands from 70 unclaimed dead bodies, in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. The samples were divided into four age-groups including A (11-20 years), B (21-30 years), C (31-40 years) & D (41-60 years). Histological slides were prepared by using routine haematoxylin and eosin stain (H & E). Five best prepared slides from each group were examined under light compound microscope with low magnification. The thickness of adrenal cortex and medulla were measured by using ocular and stage micrometer and then converted into percentage volume.

Results: The mean volume of the right adrenal cortex were found 83.64±3.71% in group A, 83.90±1.75% in group B, 83.74±5.78% in group C, 84.80±3.82% in group D, while the mean volume of the corresponding medulla were found 18.16±3.23% in group A, 15.70±2.71% in group B, 16.26±3.97% in group C, 16.20±4.04% in group D. The mean volume of the left adrenal cortex were found 84.64±3.49%, 84.90±1.75%, 84.20±3.40%, 85.44±2.66% in group A, B, C and D respectively, while the mean volume of the corresponding medulla were found 17.26±3.84%, 17.00±2.37%, 16.00±3.20% and 14.36±2.33% in group A, B, C and D respectively. The differences among the groups were not statistically significant.

Conclusion: No difference was found in the proportion of the cortex and the medulla of adrenal gland in different age-groups.

Published: March 2021

Desde que en 1929 se suscribió el tratado de límites entre Perú y Chile, determinándose que Tacna regrese a posesión de Perú y Arica continuara en administración del gobierno chileno, se generó el rompimiento de un espacio común y que de manera sinérgica se perfilaba como uno de los más importantes del Pacífico. Esto generó el deterioro de la economía de ambas regiones, las cuales además fueron agudizadas por las condiciones de contexto y la exposición a grandes crisis presentes a lo largo de la mayor parte del siglo XX. La metodología de la técnica de análisis regional permitió determinar la retracción de la dinámica de la región Tacna y el crecimiento de la observada en Arica y Parinacota en el período de análisis 2007-2017, en una expansión sustentada fundamentalmente en el crecimiento coyuntural de sectores como la minería y la labor gubernamental, las cuales han incorporado a una importante proporción de la población económicamente activa de esta región.

This article seeks to find out Chinese EFL learners’ difficulties in speaking. It is of significance because an understanding of their common problems serves as a window into learners' instructional needs and provides opportunities for teachers to plan tailored instruction subsequently. Three students enrolled in English listening and speaking course in a university in southern China participated in out-of-class extra practices for in-depth study. They were given seven monologic speaking tasks adapted from TOEFL. After the completion of each task, students were prompted to provide detailed reflections on the problems that they experienced when planning and producing speech and what kind of teacher interventions they considered necessary and helpful. The analysis of their written self-reflections provided evidence that learners mainly encountered three types of difficulties in speaking: 1) ideas (what to say); 2) language (how to say); and 3) delivery (how to say it well). The results also shed light on what kind of instructional support in terms of speaking development would be necessary. Accounts from students revealed that the following types of teacher assistance, a) prompting questions to help them gather ideas; b) key words that help them express their ideas; and c) cohesive devices that help them develop their ideas fully and effectively. The teachers’ assistance can help the students perform better in the tasks at hand and move them forward in their zone of proximal development. This article has generated useful insights into college English learners’ speaking abilities and learning needs. Its major contribution lies in how it informs a coherent and effective pedagogy in English speaking.

This study investigated the relationship between the teacher-centred pedagogical approach and student engagement at a private university in south western Uganda. The teacher-centred approach was conceived in terms of immediate feedback, continuous practice and reinforcement. On the other hand, student engagement was conceptualised in terms of behavioural, affective, cognitive and agentic engagements. The study adopted the cross-sectional research design on a sample of 264 undergraduate students. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and were analysed quantitatively. Descriptive analysis indicated that students rated high in their levels of engagement and lecturers’ use of reinforcement. However, offering of immediate feedback to students and carrying out of continuous practice were rated moderate. Regression analysis revealed that reinforcement positively and significantly predicted student engagement. However, immediate feedback and continuous practice positively but insignificantly predicted student engagement. It was concluded that while immediate feedback and continuous practice are not the most essential teacher-centred pedagogical practices for promoting student engagement, reinforcement is very imperative. Therefore, it is recommended that lecturers in universities should ensure effective use of reinforcement while teaching.

Collegiality has been glorified as the strongest governance pillar for higher education institutions, especially in promoting independence of thought, impartial decisions on leadership, mutual respect, and providing peer support. However, the recent corporate culture recently adopted by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and a system that rewards individual accomplishments, together with decreased state funding had steadily weakened the collegial philosophy, while toxicity takes the center stage - thereby threatening unity, harmony and institutional visibility. As a result, institutions have turned toxic. Unfortunately, although easily identifiable, toxicity is a difficult phenomenon to deal with, especially in dynamic academia environment, performance-based pay and personal traits notwithstanding. The paper concludes that the lack of conclusive empirical research to establish the depth and breadth of toxicity has made it difficult for personnel to make defensible decisions. The paper recommends that institutions should prioritize institutional inquiry in order to address work related behavior – among others to negate unacceptable behavior that have persistently harmed individuals as well as the institutions. Finally, institutions should make collegiality part of all “Personnel decisions” that clearly stipulate flawless indicators and measures of toxic behavior, in order to enhance collegial, civil and harmonious work environment that promotes staff engagement, productivity and institutional stability.

The purpose of this study is to provide evidence whether principals’ individual mentoring and coaching to support teachers could influence teachers’ self-efficacy. Data were collected from 843 Greek primary and secondary school teachers of 110 schools. Teachers were asked to fill in the PLQ to measure principal’s individualized support and TSES to measure teacher’s self-efficacy. CFA was conducted to identify the factor structure of TSES model. Consequently, results shown a first-order two-factor model fits best the data of TSES. TSES subscale, “Efficacy in Instructional Strategies” was excluded from the analysis. Findings of path analysis (Structural Equation Modelling analysis) showed that principal’s individualized support creating a culture of trust and respect could influence efficacy of teachers related only to student engagement. On the other hand, principal’s individualized support to teachers may not affect teacher’s efficacy related to classroom management. Implications and suggestions for future research and policy are discussed.
Agreement between medical students’ peer assessments and faculty assessments in advanced resuscitation skills examinations in South Korea

Purpose: In medical education, peer assessment is considered to be an effective learning strategy. Although several studies have examined agreement between peer and faculty assessments regarding basic life support (BLS), few studies have done so for advanced resuscitation skills (ARS) such as intubation and defibrillation. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the degree of agreement between medical students’ and faculty assessments of ARS examinations.Methods: This retrospective explorative study was conducted during the emergency medicine (EM) clinical clerkship of fourth-year medical students from April to July 2020. A faculty assessor (FA) and a peer assessor (PA) assessed each examinee’s resuscitation skills (including BLS, intubation, and defibrillation) using a checklist that consisted of 20 binary items (performed or not performed) and 1 global proficiency rating using a 5-point Likert scale. The prior examinee assessed the next examinee after feedback and training as a PA. All 54 students participated in peer assessment. The assessments of 44 FA/PA pairs were analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Gwet’s first-order agreement coefficient.Results: The PA scores were higher than the FA scores (mean±standard deviation, 20.2±2.5 [FA] vs. 22.3±2.4 [PA]; P<0.001). The agreement was poor to moderate for the overall checklist (ICC, 0.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.31 to 0.73; P<0.01), BLS (ICC, 0.19; 95% CI, -0.11 to 0.46; P<0.10), intubation (ICC, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.26 to 0.70; P<0.01), and defibrillation (ICC, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.68; P<0.01).Conclusion: Senior medical students showed unreliable agreement in ARS assessments compared to faculty assessments. If a peer assessment is planned in skills education, comprehensive preparation and sufficient assessor training should be provided in advance.

Antarctic krill Euphausia superba, a keystone species in the Southern Ocean, is highly relevant for studying effects of climate-related shifts on management systems. Krill provides a key link between primary producers and higher trophic levels and supports the largest regional fishery. Any major perturbation in the krill population would have severe ecological and economic ramifications. We review the literature to determine how climate change, in concert with other environmental changes, alters krill habitat, affects spatial distribution/abundance, and impacts fisheries management. Findings recently reported on the effects of climate change on krill distribution and abundance are inconsistent, however, raising questions regarding methods used to detect changes in density and biomass. One recent study reported a sharp decline in krill densities near their northern limit, accompanied by a poleward contraction in distribution in the Southwest Atlantic sector. Another recent study found no evidence of long-term decline in krill density or biomass and reported no evidence of a poleward shift in distribution. Moreover, with predicted decreases in phytoplankton production, vertical foraging migrations to the seabed may become more frequent, also impacting krill production and harvesting. Potentially cumulative impacts of climate change further compound the management challenge faced by CCAMLR, the organization responsible for conservation of Antarctic marine living resources: to detect changes in the abundance, distribution, and reproductive performance of krill and krill-dependent predator stocks and to respond to such change by adjusting its conservation measures. Based on CCAMLR reports and documents, we review the institutional framework, outline how climate change has been addressed within this organization, and examine the prospects for further advances toward ecosystem risk assessment and an adaptive management system.
