Diagnostic Approaches of Palatogingival Groove: A Systematic Review
Authors: Venskutė Greta
Published: October 2024

Palatogingival Grooves (PGG) constitute developmental anatomical irregularities primarily situated along the palatal aspects of the roots of maxillary incisors. Literature is sparse on diagnostic approaches of PGG. Our study aimed to alleviate clinicians the process of recognizing anomaly. Systematic electronic searches of scientific literature without publication date or language restriction were undertaken in 2023.11.03 research was conducted in PubMed, Willey Online Library, Science Direct and Medline Ovid. Using specific keywords 54 articles with 67 cases were included in our study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pre-made Cochrane data extraction templates were used for frequency evaluation, nonparametric Spearman’s, Kendall rank correlation coefficients, Mann-Whitney U Test and Odds ratio was assessed by statistic to evaluate significant correlations. Most quantitively expressed symptoms of PGG included increased tooth mobility, appearance of purulent discharge, sinus tract and periodontal pocket with an average mean of 9,14 ± 2,30 mm along with painful vertical per-cussion. However, statistical assessment showed inverse correlation between in-creased mobility and painful percussion. Furthermore, quantitively, deeper perio-dontal pockets were accompanied by more prominent gingival alterations, however only one opposing significant correlation was noted between the depth of per-iodontal pocket and existence of additional root. Frequency evaluation revealed that IPR was the main diagnostic tool used in majority of cases. Deeper periodontal pocket was assessed by conjunction of two or three tools. CBCT was used most with deeper periodontal pocket averaging 9,75 ± 1,02 mm. In conclusion, quantita-tive data suggest that periodontal pockets averaging 9,14 ± 2,30 mm, I or II-degree mobility, painful percussion and purulent discharge are the main PGG characteristics, with sparce significant correlations between them. IPR was noted as the main roentgenological modality as should be used firstly when suspecting PGG, yet both quantitative and statistical data suggest that CBCT is ought to be used to alleviate the assessment.

Authors: Shah Rabia
Published: October 2024

This report highlights the management of two complex oesophageal strictures using an innovative combined endoscopic and fluoroscopic technique. The first case involves a 12-year-old boy with epidermolysis bullosa, where conventional endoscopic methods were inadequate. The second case details a premature infant with an anastomotic stricture post-oesophageal atresia repair. Both patients underwent successful dilation with a neonatal endoscope and fluoroscopic guidance, overcoming significant technical challenges. This approach demonstrates a promising alternative for handling severe and refractory oesophageal strictures.
According to British Documents, the Economic-Financial Situation in Greece during the Turkish War of Independence and the Efforts of the Governments to Finance the War
Authors: Yavuz Resul , Okur Mehmet
Published: October 2024

Starting on 15 May 1919 with the Greek invasion of Smyrna, the occupation movement in Western Anatolia put the Greek finances in difficulty with an increasing sum from year to year. The Greek governments were able to finance the war with the financial aid provided by the Allies to Greece before the invasion. However, in November 1920, Venizelos lost the elections and resigned as prime minister, and in December of the same year, the exiled King Constantine, who had great problems with the Allies, was restored to the throne, which deeply affected the Allied relations with Greece. After this date, the country was unable to receive foreign aid, and in order to finance the war, it introduced many measures, especially tax rates, which were burdensome to the people. Naturally, this situation led to a weakening of the purchasing power of the people who were oppressed under inflationary policies. Despite the large deficit in the balance of income and expenditure during the war years, the country's international trade continued at an increasing rate, albeit with some troubled periods.

Published: October 2024

The Khaduri Laot tradition is a traditional ceremony that must be carried out by the coastal communities of Aceh Tamiang, especially at the end of the west season or before the east season. This tradition has been carried out routinely by every village under the Panglima Laot area. For the local fishing community, Khaduri Laot reflects the relationship between humans, their creator, and the surrounding environment. This ceremony is believed to have a major influence on the safety of fishermen and the blessings of marine products. Khaduri Laot is considered a cultural tradition that must be maintained and preserved. Local people's beliefs state that not carrying out this ceremony can bring disaster or danger. On the contrary, the Khaduri Laot celebration is believed to bring blessings and abundant sustenance to fishermen and coastal communities. In addition, this ritual is also believed to provide protection and security for fishermen who sail at sea. This tradition not only has a spiritual dimension, but also a cultural one in maintaining harmony between humans and nature.
Taxation and Economic Growth in Benin: Does the Rate “eat” the Base?
Authors: AIFA Emile
Published: October 2024

Abstract

In developing countries where resources are limited and population needs are immense, taxation becomes one of the State's key economic policy instruments. Benin, a small developing economy open to the world, is no exception. It inherits a primarily fiscal budget, which generates considerable interest among economic actors and policymakers. The evolving social needs, accompanied by citizen and union demands, compel the State to engage in tax reforms. This paper aims to estimate the relationship between taxation and economic growth for rational reforms in Benin. The methodological approach, based on the Scully model, shows that there is a link between taxation and economic growth in Benin. The study also reveals a fiscal shortfall for the Beninese economy, where tax pressure is below the required optimum. These findings call for vigorous action by the State, necessitating a rethink of tax policy based on relevant strategic axes.

Prevalence of toxoplasmosis in sheep and goats in Iraq
Authors: Makawi Zainab A.
Published: October 2024

Due to their ability to provide food for people, sheep and goats are important to the economies of many nations. Toxoplasma gondii, or T. gondii, is a protozoan parasite that often infects sheep. Stillbirth, early embryonic death and resorption, neonatal mortality, fetal death and mummification, and parasite infection are examples of possible negative effects. The consequences are more severe the earlier in gestation the infection arises. The stage of pregnancy at which the infection occurs in the sheep and goats is connected with the severity of the illness. T. gondii may infect humans and carnivorous animals via the meat of infected sheep and goats. Less than 4% of sheep that are consistently infected with T. gondii carry the parasite vertically to their offspring. The majority of sheep develop the infection after birth. It's possible that T. gondii is more often transmitted in cows than previously believed. However, these results need more evidence acquired using other methods, since they are only reliant on Polymerase Chain Reaction data. Sheep that have been exposed to T. gondii produce robust humoral and cell-mediated immune responses that protect them against infection in subsequent pregnancies. To the best of our knowledge, documentation about the prevalence of toxoplasmosis in sheep and goats in Iraq is deficient. As a result, A comprehensive research was conducted to find out how common toxoplasmosis is in sheep and goats in Iraq and how it relates to various risk factors.

Published: October 2024

This study explores the potential of fluted pumpkin stem powder (FPSP) as an eco-friendly and cost-effective adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from pharmaceutical wastewater. The research investigates the adsorption capacity of FPSP for iron (Fe) and lead (Pb), examining the influence of contact time, adsorbent dosage, agitation speed, and pH. Chemically activated FPSP demonstrated significant adsorption capacities, achieving removal efficiencies of up to 85.263% for Fe and 90.000% for Pb under optimal conditions. Results indicated a direct proportional relationship between contact time, adsorbent dosage, agitation speed, and adsorption efficiency; as these variables increased, so did the adsorption efficiency. Conversely, pH showed an optimal efficiency at 7.5, with a decrease in efficiency observed at pH levels above this value. The study employed adsorption isotherms and kinetic models to explain the mechanisms underlying the adsorption process, such as the role the roles of ion exchange, complexation, and surface adsorption. The findings suggest further investigation into the regeneration and reuse potential of FPSP, as well as its application in treating various contaminants and scalability for industrial use. This research provides a comprehensive understanding of the efficacy and practicality of FPSP in wastewater treatment, promoting the utilization of renewable resources and advancing sustainable practices.

The study explored Strategies for restraining Classroom Disruptive Behaviours’ Among Public Secondary Schools Students in Ekiti State. Specifically, It sought to examine the types of disruptive behaviours, problems encountered by the schools and strategies to be adopted to curb disruptive behaviours perpetuated by students in the classroom during teaching and learning. Three research questions guided the study. A descriptive research design was adopted for the study. A sample of 100 respondents involving principals and teachers was used through a purposive sampling technique. Strategies for Restraining Students’ Disruptive Behaviours in Public Secondary Schools (SRSDBPSS) served as an instrument. Data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The analysis revealed that (1) lateness to school, irregular class attendance, fighting with each other within and outside the school, refusal to do assignments given by teachers, non-participation in-class activities, use of abusive language against one another, and operating phones during class hours were disruptive behaviours perpetrated by students. (2) Bullying of teachers and management by the punished students are always noticed, teachers get discouraged going back to class, which causes more stress for teachers as they become detracted from academic routine, and general bad relationship among students and teachers, and causes poor realization of educational objectives in school were the problems encountered by the school. (3) The use of classroom management, allowing students to have easy access to the teachers, promptness of teachers to the discharge of their tasks of teaching profession, insurance of appropriate seating arrangement by teachers, attentiveness of the teachers to both reported and unreported cases in class, regular checking of children by parents in schools, and maintenance of small and well-controlled class size were strategies to be adopted to curb disruptive behaviours among public secondary schools students in Ekiti state.

Trade-off Analysis in Strengthening the Criteria for Master Teacher Promotion
Authors: Garzon Julius , Daguplo Marvin , Casinillo Leomarich , Hungo Melbert
Published: October 2024

Effective master teachers constitute a valuable human resource playing a significant role not only as instructional leaders but also as educational researchers. However, the pressing demands of quality education alongside changing policies call for the need to ensure that these leaders meet competitive standards. Using the developmental-evaluative design, this study which is anchored on Criterion Theory, aims to enhance the existing criteria of the Department of Education (DepEd) in screening, selecting, and hiring Master Teacher applicants. Delphi technique and trade-offs analysis with ten expert respondents derived nine new and consensually evaluated measures (research training, research conference, publication, INSET/LAC, completed researches, best practices/innovations, qualifying examination, master's degree & awards) comprising the "Enhanced Criteria for Master Teacher Promotion" at 70-point cut-off qualification. The discriminant function model constituted data from 60 Master Teachers in the Maasin City Division and confirmed discriminatory success at 91.78% variability during model validation of 15 Master Teachers. Thus, the new criteria demonstrate the potential to assure the DepEd of competent and quality instructional leaders that the country needs today. This study recommends the adoption of the enhanced criteria as a policy. However, further evaluation is necessary to strengthen its validity before its full implementation.
Language Attitudes and Educational Implications A Study of Code-Switching Among College-Level Bilingual Students in Karachi
Authors: Jawed Mehak , Khalili Prof. Dr. Col. (R) Akhtar A , Mehmood Dr. Amir
Published: October 2024

The prime objective is to explore the language attitudes of students in Karachi, Pakistan, in the context of bilingual education using Urdu and English as mediums of instruction; particularly, the study delves into how code-switching phenomenon between Urdu and English influences students' attitudes during English-based subject classes at the college level. Additionally, the study examines how these language attitudes impact students' academic performance. To gather inclusive insights, a mixed-method approach was employed for data collection. The gathered data underwent analysis to distinguish the variations in students' language attitudes towards each medium of instruction. Furthermore, the study assesses how these attitudes potentially affect the learning of English-based subjects at the college level. The findings reflect that learners strongly preferred code-switching because they felt it helped them better comprehend difficult subjects and they could perform better academically. Although students appreciated being able to communicate in English, they thought bilingual education was more beneficial to learning. To improve student engagement and learning outcomes, the study recommends that educational institutions implement controlled code-switching as a component of their instructional technique, maintaining a balance between English and Urdu.

Published: October 2024

The study aimed to investigate the effects of blended music on social behaviours of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The study was quantitative with a single group pretest- posttest research design. Children with ASD studying in special education institutes of Rawalpindi and Islamabad were the population of the study. After screening children for High Functioning Autism through the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), twelve children were selected conveniently for the intervention. The Urdu version of the Social Responsiveness Scale (USRS-2) was used to measure the social behaviours of children with ASD. Blended music based on Raga Bilawal and Taal Keharwa was validated by the music experts for use during eight weeks of intervention. The data was collected before and after exposure to blended music. Mean scores for each positive and problematic social behaviour were calculated to decide upon the improvement in behaviour. The number of items showing improvement was calculated to decide upon the effect of blended music. 26% of positive behaviours were improved and 74% of problematic social behaviours were reduced. It was concluded that blended music was found effective in developing positive social behaviours and reducing the problematic social behaviours of children with ASD.

Published: October 2024

Students' academic performance has been highly valued and considered a major educational goal. This study is an attempt to explore the effect of the social dimension of home on the academic performance of District Buner secondary school students. The population of the current study was students of class 10th in District Buner. Cluster Random sampling technique was used to select the sample from the population. A standardized tool was used to measure the social dimension of the home of secondary school students. The data were analyzed quantitatively using mean, Standard Deviation, and Pearson correlation coefficient (‘r’) and results revealed that the children with a high social dimension of the home have higher academic performance. Level of Control is positively correlated with academic performance in the case of girls and negatively correlated in the case of boys. Permissiveness correlated negatively with academic performance for both girls and boys. Parents are recommended to create a home where everyone feels safe and loved. The government and media should also periodically conduct seminars and workshops to educate parents on improving social dimensions in the home environment that enhance children's overall development.

Authors: Siddique Maryam , Jabeen Dr. Rukshanda , Bhutto Alia
Published: October 2024

The interdependence appertaining to critical thinking and active participation of students in classrooms is a hallmark of 21st-century modern pedagogies. This research, as a case study of public schools in Karachi, has explored teachers’ perceptions, engagement, and cultivation of critical thinking skills, as well as the possible challenges encountered by teachers in fostering critical thinking through active participation. The research utilized qualitative data gathered through interview guides administered to teachers of a public school in Karachi. To validate research, FGD was also conducted with 6 teachers of the same school. The findings of the research indicate the reasons for the lack of active participation and cultivation of critical thinking among students. Parental involvement, lack of resources, language barrier, lack of continuous professional development (CPD), Negligence of Government in providing resources and poor educational policies are the themes that emerged from interviews. This research is significant in exploring the hindrances in the implementation of modern pedagogies that can pave the way for global discourses. Moreover, by exploring teachers’ perceptions, this study triggers an investigation of students' and parents’ perceptions regarding active participation in classes and accepting modern pedagogies.

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar la estabilidad sensorial de rodajas de aguacate (Persea americana) tratadas con diferentes concentraciones de aditivos BPM (ácido cítrico, ácido ascórbico, jugo de limón y una prueba control), y almacenadas a -20°C. Se utilizaron aguacates con un grado de madurez óptimo entre 4-7 kg/cm² (N). Las muestras fueron cortadas, tratadas con soluciones al 3%, 6% y 9% con los aditivos mencionados anteriormente, se secaron y empacaron en bolsas de polietileno corrugado al vacío y sin vacío para posteriormente ser congelados. Se midieron cambios en la textura y el color cada 15, 30 y 45 días. También, se realizó un análisis sensorial con panelistas no entrenados para evaluar la aceptación del producto en base a color y textura, utilizando una Escala Hedónica. Los resultados mostraron que el ácido ascórbico y el jugo de limón fueron los tratamientos más efectivos para mantener la calidad sensorial del aguacate durante el almacenamiento en congelación. El jugo de limón funcionó mejor para preservar color y textura sin vacío mientras que el ácido ascórbico fue más efectivo en las muestras envasadas al vacío p<0.05. Estos aditivos en concentraciones entre 3% y 9% permiten prolongar la vida útil del aguacate cortado y congelado manteniendo una buena aceptación sensorial.

Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Lee Soyeon , Seo Youngseok
Published: October 2024

This study, grounded in Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), aims to examine the roles of career decision-making learning experiences and career decision-making self-efficacy in mediating the relationships between both objective and subjective socioeconomic status, economic hardship, and career outcome expectations among university students. A sample of 255 students from various four-year universities across South Korea participated in this research.
The results from structural equation modeling(SEM) indicate that the final model demonstrated a good fit to the data, explaining approximately 73% of the variance in career outcome expectations. The analysis of direct paths revealed significant effects for all hypothesized pathways. Furthermore, the study found that subjective socioeconomic status, career decision-making learning experiences, and career decision-making self-efficacy significantly mediated the relationship between objective socioeconomic status and career outcome expectations. Similarly, these variables also mediated the relationship between economic hardship and career outcome expectations.
This research contributes to the literature by highlighting the importance of socioeconomic factors and career decision-making processes in shaping career expectations. Additionally, it underscores the relevance of subjective socioeconomic status and career-related learning experiences in career counseling interventions. The study concludes with recommendations for future research, suggesting the need for a more diverse sample and the inclusion of longitudinal studies to further explore these relationships.
A Study on the Types and Determinants of Economic Dependency on Parents Among Unemployed Kangaroo Tribe Youth
Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Park Boram , Kang Minji
Published: October 2024

The primary objective of this study is to categorize the different forms of economic reliance that unemployed young adults have on their parents and identify the factors contributing to this dependency. The study utilized data from the Youth Panel Survey (YP) conducted by the Korea Employment Information Service and performed a latent class analysis on unemployed young adults receiving financial support from their parents. Based on the reasons for and levels of parental financial support, four distinct types of economic dependency were identified: 'Moderate Living Expense Dependency,' 'High Housing Expense Dependency,' 'Minimal Living Expense Dependency,' and 'Unconditional Dependency.' Each type is differentiated by the specific reasons young adults rely on their parents and the level of financial support they receive.
The study further analyzed how sociodemographic characteristics, career maturity, job search preparation, and work values influence these types of economic dependency. The results indicated that the 'High Housing Expense Dependency' type was more common among young adults living in metropolitan areas and those with a university degree or higher. This group tended to receive higher amounts of financial support from their parents for housing costs. On the other hand, the 'Unconditional Dependency' type was prevalent among students and those whose parents had greater wealth. This group exhibited lower levels of career maturity and placed more importance on economic rewards and job security in their work values.
Additionally, the study demonstrated that economic dependency among unemployed young adults is closely linked not only to financial factors but also to their career maturity and job search preparation. For example, those categorized under 'Moderate Living Expense Dependency' and 'High Housing Expense Dependency' exhibited lower career maturity but higher levels of job search preparation.
This research aims to provide important policy insights by offering an in-depth understanding of the complex reasons behind young adults' financial dependence on their parents and the types of support they receive. The findings will contribute to developing policies that promote the economic independence of young adults and support a smoother transition into the workforce. Furthermore, the study provides foundational data to help reduce the challenges these young adults face during their transition into employment.
A study on the effects of cosmetic purchase behavior, consumption tendency, and appearance interest on recommendation intention in SNS cosmetic advertisements : Focusing on the moderating effect of model attractiveness
Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Kwak Junchul , Ha Kyusoo
Published: October 2024

The increasing use of social media is having a significant impact on online and offline purchasing behavior, as consumers share content they are interested in and exchange information. Businesses are responding to this shift by increasing their social media advertising, which has a positive impact on brand purchase behavior. This study aims to empirically investigate the influence of consumers' spending behavior and appearance interest on recommendation intention in cosmetics advertisements on SNS and the moderating effect of advertisement model attractiveness. For this study, an online survey was conducted among 568 consumers who have purchased cosmetics on SNS. SPSS 28.0 was used for statistical analysis, and factor analysis, reliability test, and multiple regression analysis were conducted. The results of this study were as follows First, the experience of purchasing cosmetics on SNS and the frequency of information acquisition were found to have a positive effect on recommendation intention. Second, spending behavioral attitudes such as sympathy and impulsivity were found to have a static effect on recommendation intent. Third, appearance orientation has a static effect on recommendation intention. Fourth, advertisement model attractiveness moderated the relationship between SNS cosmetics purchase frequency and YouTube cosmetics information acquisition frequency and recommendation intention, and advertisement model attractiveness moderated the relationship between impulsivity and appearance orientation and recommendation intention.
The study found the propensity of splurge and agreeableness on spending behavioral suggests that consumers use social media to show off their social status and tend to imitate the behavior of others. In addition, the effect of appearance orientation on recommendation intention highlights the importance of appearance as a factor in consumer behavior. The moderating effect of advertisement model attractiveness suggests that it is important to consider the personality of the model to fit the cosmetics brand image when considering the influence of advertisement model attractiveness. This study aims to contribute to consumer behavior theory by deepening our understanding of the effectiveness of social media advertising and proposing an integrated model of recommendation intention formation. Future research should expand to a wider range of products to confirm the persistence of social media advertising effects. The results of this study can be used as a useful basis for companies to establish social media advertising strategies.
Raízes metapsicológicas da compaixão
Authors: Santos Manoel Antônio dos , Okamoto Mary Yoko
Published: October 2024

A partir de distinções conceituais entre compaixão, simpatia, empatia e piedade, propormos uma compreensão teórica psicanalítica sobre os significados contidos na capacidade de compadecer-se com o sofrimento do outro. As reflexões nos levaram a indagar: como podemos compreender a compaixão do ponto de vista psicanalítico? Para articular teoricamente essa questão, recorremos ao arcabouço conceitual freudiano em busca do enraizamento histórico e filosófico da compaixão, recuperando sentidos, domínios semânticos, valores, afetos e sensibilidades. Empreendemos um percurso que identifica as vicissitudes da transformação do aparelho psíquico no lidar com as ameaças da pulsão de morte. Nessa vertente, inserimos o trabalho da compaixão, definida como possibilidade de partilhar do sofrimento do outro, potencializando condições que podem fortalecer a costura dos contornos narcísicos em bases mais amadurecidas, dignificando o trabalho de Eros e colocando o narcisismo a serviço da vida. Concluímos que a compreensão psicanalítica da compaixão requer atitude de disponibilidade para acolher e escutar aquele que enfrenta um momento disruptivo, considerando sentimentos decorrentes dessa situação. As implicações e desdobramentos para pensarmos as respostas da clínica psicanalítica face às fontes contemporâneas de sofrimento são abordadas.

Durante las clases virtuales de Ciencias Experimentales se trabajaron actividades de indagación referidas a la germinación de plantas alimenticias en el hogar, notándose mucho interés y curiosidad por parte de nuestras alumnas del colegio Salcantay.
Debido a estos motivos, surgió la idea de impartir conocimientos prácticos sobre cultivos a través de un biohuerto escolar autosostenible, contribuyendo al cuidado del medio ambiente.
Al regreso a las clases presenciales en abril del 2022 se puso en marcha este proyecto colaborativo con 5° grado de Primaria. Se trabajó de manera interdisciplinaria con profesoras de Ciencias Experimentales, Matemática y Tecnología. Desde Ciencias Experimentales se desarrolló la parte botánica y el trabajo de compostaje haciendo uso del Método Científico. En Matemática se utilizó la Estadística y Geometría como punto de partida. En Tecnología se diseñaron planos de biohuertos familiares y se grabaron audios sobre las impresiones antes y durante el desarrollo del biohuerto.

Authors: Meneses Washington
Published: October 2024

Este trabajo rescata una experiencia de aula, con estudiantes del último año de educación media, en el que se explora, a través de un simulador de PhET, las características de un tema fundacional de la Física Cuántica: el espectro de emisión del cuerpo negro. Trabajando en equipos, aplicando una metodología de aprendizaje activa y utilizando dispositivos móviles con conexión a Internet, el grupo completó una secuencia de actividades centradas en la simulación que favorecen el acercamiento a conceptos de la física moderna y sus aplicaciones a la tecnología y la astronomía.
Aprendizaje basado en problema como metodología STEM para la enseñanza de la Física
Authors: Corrales Casaravilla Ana Paula
Published: October 2024

Este artículo propone la incorporación del aprendizaje basado en problema (ABP) como metodología activa STEM, a ser implementada en la Formación Docente para la enseñanza de la Física, en cuarto año de la especialidad Matemática (plan 2008). La finalidad de este proyecto es promover una comprensión global e integradora de los contenidos físicos y matemáticos pertenecientes al programa oficial del curso, mediante la resolución de problemas, con el soporte de las nuevas tecnologías como herramientas didáctico-pedagógicas. Para esto, se propone que los estudiantes de la carrera elaboren y resuelvan problemas, además de realizar un plan de aula con la posibilidad de aplicarlos en sus grupos de práctica docente. De esta forma, se pretende fomentar una discusión crítica sobre algunos aspectos de la Física: cómo "pensarla", cuáles son sus aplicaciones y cómo el aprendizaje por medio de la resolución de problemas y las herramientas digitales pueden permitir una mejor "aprehensión" del entorno, modelizando científicamente la realidad que los rodea. Este enfoque metodológico centrado en la comprensión, la investigación y la interdisciplinariedad, fortalece el pensamiento complejo y promueve el desarrollo de distintas competencias por parte del alumnado. Según los datos recabados, el ABP en el marco de STEM favorece la autonomía, el trabajo colaborativo, la creatividad, y la comprensión de las temáticas. Por lo cual, los futuros formadores podrán adquirir una perspectiva global de la mecánica newtoniana, lo que les permitirá trabajar de forma multidisciplinaria con docentes de otras asignaturas cuando se encuentren en el campo profesional.

Evaluation of the Mineral, Amino Acid and Antimicrobial Properties of Raw and Fermented Trametes elegans
Authors: Ayodele J. A. , Oyetayo V. O.
Published: October 2024

Mushrooms are known to be sources of food and bioactive compounds with medicinal properties. In this study, the mineral, proximate, amino acid and antimicrobial properties of a wild macrofungus, Trametes elegans was investigated. Standard methods were used to evaluate the mineral, proximate and amino acid content of raw and fermented T.elegans. By soaking in methanol and acetone, extracts from the macrofungus’s powdered fruiting bodies were obtained. Using common microbiological methods, the macrofungus extracts’ antimicrobial activity was assessed on test isolates. In addition, isolation and identification of microorganisms associated with raw and fermented T. elegans was done using standard microbiological techniques. The physicochemical parameters (Temperature, pH and Total Titratable Acid) were also monitored during solid and liquid state fermentation of Trametes elegans. The concentration of carbohydrate (70.24±0.33) was higher in the raw sample, while moisture (3.22±0.13), fat (1.85±0.04) and protein contents (22.48±0.09) were higher in sample subjected to solid fermentation. Also, crude fibre (6.68±0.76) and Ash (3.60±1.39) were higher in sample subjected to liquid fermentation. The micro elements analysed are zinc and iron and macro elements are potassium, magnesium and phosphorus and their values increased in fermented Trametes elegans. Analyses of both essential and non-essential amino acids were conducted. The most common amino acids found in all of the samples examined were glutamic acid, leucine, arginine, and aspartic acid. Cysteine and methionine are the least abundant. The amino acid scores were determined by ratio of the milligrams of amino acid per gram of test protein to the milligrams of amino acid per gram in the reference pattern. The results showed that methionine had the lowest score in the raw sample (3.14) and tryptophan had the highest score (18.17) in T. elegans that had undergone solid fermentation. Methanol and acetone extracts inhibited all test isolates except Lactobacillus plantarum. The commercial drug exhibited higher antibacterial activity compared to the extracts, with a significant difference (P≤ 0.05). The inhibitory zones ranged from 5.50 mm against Bacillus subtilis to 18.13 mm against E. coli. The range of the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was 12.5 to 50 mg/mL, while the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 12.5 to 50 mg/mL. In light of this findings, T. elegans, could be considered as potential sources of natural antimicrobial and can also be relevant for use as food supplements in animals and man.
El paquete «Objetivo 55»: la fiscalidad y su base legal en el derecho de la Unión Europea
Authors: Cobos Gómez José María
Published: October 2024

La Unión Europea ha apostado por asumir el liderazgo internacional de la respuesta ante la crisis climática. Dicho protagonismo se ha concretado en el Pacto Verde Europeo, que pretende afrontar los desafíos ambientales a través de una nueva estrategia de crecimiento sostenible para alcanzar la neutralidad climática en 2050. En este contexto, la Unión Europea ha asumido con carácter vinculante dicho objetivo de neutralidad climática, lo que requiere alcanzar en 2030 el objetivo intermedio de lograr una reducción de las emisiones netas de al menos un 55 % con respecto a los niveles de 1990. En cumplimiento de dicho mandato, el paquete de medidas Objetivo 55 o Fit for 55, aprobado por la Comisión, persigue la adaptación de las políticas de la Unión en materia de clima, energía, uso del suelo, transporte y fiscalidad a dichos objetivos.
En este trabajo se aborda el papel de la fiscalidad ante la crisis climática, su encuadramiento en el paquete Objetivo 55 y las principales medidas allí contenidas, como son la revisión de la directiva sobre fiscalidad de la energía, el mecanismo de ajuste por carbono en frontera y la revisión del régimen de ayudas de Estado.
